SILVERITES GATHERING.
The Silver Hosts Marshali1g in the Windy
City
Hopes to Influence Congress by stirring
the People to Hold Mass Meetings

Chicago. July 31.-TAe inuicu tions are
that thc~national silver convention to be
held in this city tomorrow will be the
most largely attended in the history of
financial ayitation. Delegates arc ex-
pectcd from every state and territory, al
though, of course, the silver producing
sections are most largely represented.
The leaders of the silver movement
are for the first time on record, perhaps,
proceeding with caution. A strong at
tempt is to he first made to unite all the
different clements of the convention in
one line of action, regardless of past
political affiliations; and Populists, Dem
ocrats and Republicans will be asked to
forget for a time their partisanship of
'the past in the coming struggle for free
silver. the Colorado people are laying
great stress on the opinion of the Colora-
do attorney general this morning pub
lished, declaring the right of state to
establish statutory repositories for silver
bullion and issue deposit certificates to
be receivable by the state in payment of
state taxes and by the citizen at his op-
ton in payment of legal debts. This is
regarded as a unique means of increasing
the volume Of currency and may be re-
commended to the silver producing states
The effort Of the convention, however.
Will be directed to influence congress, land
an appeal will be made to the unem-
ploycd everywhere to call mass meetings
and demand of congress such legislation
as will increase the volume of money
and relieve the stringcncy of the tinan-
clal condition. A large delegation from
the st"te of Colorado arrived this fore
noon, headed by Gov. Waite, Senator
Teller, ex. GOV. John L. Root. ex-J-nitcd
States Senator Hill, Congressman Bell,
I. NJ. Patterson, President Fiskc. of the
Pan American B1mcttallic League and
Secretary Hutchinson, of the Colorado
mining stock exchange.
1t is expected that the convention will
organize state branches and prepare for
public meetings everywhere anc for such
other methods Of disseminating informal
ton as may be found necessary.
The Leaders of the silver movement
held meeting in ex-senator Thomas NJ
Patterson's room ut the Palmer House
tonight to decide upon chairman fol
the convention. After three hours de-
liberation. Allen w. Thurman. of Ohio
was selected. Among those present were
Gen. Warner, Senator Reagan, Senator
Stewart, B. Clark Wheeler and about
thirty others.

THE WAY VANCE SEES IT,
What is the Meaning of the Platform
Adopted at Chicago.
ae Says It Means that the Party Favor
Free Coinage of Silver.

Senator Vance last week wrote letter
to the Farmers Alliance, in which, in re-
ply to a question as to his position on
the silver law, he said he was unalterablv
opposed to the repeal of the Sherman act
unless some substitute was provided.
He was severely criticised for the tone
OF his letter and now he replies in an
other letter.
He says: "The charge that a Democrat
is at variance with his party who refuses
to favor unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law depends in truth on what
the party laid down in the platform at
Chicago. If promises and pledges
amount to anything the Chicago plat
form demands the repeal OF the law as
an obstruction to the free coinage of
silver.
"The obvious meaning is, if the law
was out of the way we could have free
coinage. That is one of the things pro-
pose to put in place of the Sherman law
and propose to vote against the repeal
unless that be done. If my party is op-
posed to that, then the utterances atChi-
cago were intended to deceive. If it was
sincere, then [ am trying to stand on the
platform. 1t pledges the party to the
use Of both gol1 and silver without dis
elimination. If we cease to coin one
and refuse to tender it in payment even
OF obligations which by contract are pay-
able therein, we do not discriminate
against the metal.
'Men OF common sense who are Ioval
to the purposes they profess will not sur
render the advantages of t:.eir position.
The law now in. existence can be kent
thus by nOn-cOncurrence of either the
house, the senate or the President to its
repeal, whereas, the Sherman law once
repealed, measures which are to take its
place would have to be passed by affirm
ative legislation, requiring the concur
renee of all three branches of the law
making department and no sensible man
acquainted with the position can believe
that these measures could be passed un
der such circumstances"

A Chinese Courtship.

In his own tiowery Kingdom the heather
Chinese who desires to become Il benedict
does not dream Of approaching his de
sired bride until he has heard what hcl
father has to say, says the New York Re
cordcr. The interview with papa on such
occasions is largely occupied by Il pro
iou~cd haGYlc over the amount the suitol
is to give until the bargain is adjusted
to mutual satisfaction
Then the suitor highly ptrfumt1 with
aSafoctila, which IS the smart scent
among Chinese, as it Was among the
Carthaglnians, calls on the brides mother
and is introduced to the bride, whom it
must be understood he has not vet seen
The visit consists largely of bowilg
scrapiAg, tlourishing the hands, cringine
in every posture, every kind of ceremon-
ial and very little conversation.
The lover does not speak one word to
his intended and seldom glances toward
her. Usually singing and dancing girls
come in and furnisha diversion. He re-
mains in her presence for two hours OF
longer, during the whole of which time
he does not get a moment alone with his
intended, or even fair look at her face
for it is not etiquette for him to scrutin-
ize her too closely. When he has gone
he sends a present.
It is good omen if he sends gift of
eggshells painted every kind Of color.
All his visits are conducted on the
same plan. He does not get a direct and
full view of her tace until they have
s.gone away" that's, until she has been
brought in her palanquin to his house.
There is some compensation in the fact
that if he does not like her appearance
he can send her back home. But this
would cause such scandal and be such
an insult to the family that, as rule,
the question of looks is thoroughly in
quired into by go-betweens of the fair
sex before any serious formal step is talk
en- in the matter. -. Il S.: t5.. ,-s..ssz :.

Outbreak Caused by the Retirem: Mt OF an
Aged Pensioner.

Rome. Naio. in Adams county. The
burning Of thc figure WAS attended by the
ViI,l'>! enthusiasm an;l the most demon

The occasion for this demonstration
was the dropping from the pension rolls

OF ace and totally without means of sup
port, his pension being the only thing
between him and absolute starvation.

The Napoleonic LITTER.

Napoleon L was /; fatalsr, and among
his superstitions was Il firmly rooted no.
ton that places and persons that began
with the letter III possessed immense
power over his fortunes for good or for
evil. An ingenious Frcnchman, evident
ly inclined to believe that there was
some good ground for Napolcon's faith,
makes up the following strange list of
Ms: Six marshalls- -Masscna. Mortier,
Marmont. Macdonald, Murat, and Money
without counting twepty-six division
generals. Moreau betrayed him. Mar
seilles was the place where he encount-
cred the greatest difficulties at the COM
mencemcnt of his career. Marbocuf was
the firstto suspect his genius and to shove
him ahead. His most brilliant battles
were Montenotte, Mantua, Millesimo,
Mondovi, Marengo, Malta. Mont Thabor,
Montmirvil, Mormans, Montereau, Merry

the last at Waterloo. At the siege of
Toulon his first point of attack was
Fort Malbousquet. There he singled
out Muiron, who covered him with his
body on the bridge of Arcole. Milan
was the capital of his new kingdom.
Moscow was the last town that he took.
Menon made him lose Egypt. M1ollis
was selected to capture Plus. VII. Malet
conspired against him. Metter2ich beat
him automatically. Maret was his Sec
retary and his confident. Montalsvet
was his minister, and Montesquin his
first chamberlain. In March, 1896, he
married Josephine, and in March 1910, he
married Marie Louise. In March 1911,
the King of Rome was born. Malmason
well-named, unlucky house, was his
last residence in France. He surrendered
to Captain Maitland. At Saint Helena.
Montholon was his companion in capti-
witty, and Marchand his valet de chambre.
He died in May, 1921. The letter NJ also
comes to the front in the career Of Ma
poleon III. He married the Countess de
Montijo.s Morny is not forgotten. In
the war OF the Crimea we find Malakotf
and Mamelon. In the Italian campaign
we find Montebello, Marignon, Magenta,
Milan, Mazzini. Toward the close of his
career Mexico appears with Maximillian,
NIeja. and A[iramon. In the war with
Germany he pinned his faith upon the
Mitrallleuse, and the names Of Moltke
and Metz are conspicuous enough in the
history Of that campaign.

must be kept on hand at the labratory,is
required to send box of live bugs to
Prof. Lugger at St. Anthony Park.
Send the bugs in a tight tin box by
mail; or by express, prepaid. Put some
green wheat or grass or corn leaves in
the box but no soil. Make no holes in
the box for air. Send as many bugs as
;ou Can conveniently can; send at least
Il pint. Put your name on the box and
send letter or card with it stating the
fact that YOU have mailed the box.
He will then mail each applicant a box
of infected insects.
Upcn receipt of these bugs a shallow
box about "a in. 26 in. X 6 in. made Of
inch pine, with tight joints, should :e
provided. Sprinkle the whole inside of
the box with water so as to make the in
terror thoroughly damp but not SO as to
leave drops of water on the surface. Put
in enough green wheat or corn to cover
the bottom. Put in large quantity of
live bugs from the tie,d-a quart would
not he too many for a box Of the size
above suggested. Scatter the infected
bugs among the live bags. After the bugs
have remained in the box two days re-
move half of them, alive or dead, and
scatter them over that part of the field
where the bugs are thickest. At the same
time rcplcnish the infected box with
more bugs from tho field. Continue to
scatter bugs from the infected box over
the field at intervals of two days until
it is seen that the bugs are dying rapidly
all over the field. Keep the box moist
by repeated spr1nklinS and change the
green food as often as it loses its fresh
ness and before it begins to rot.
Careful attention to these directions
will often insure success, when careless
use of the infection would fail. Make
daily observations of the condition Of
affairs in the field, and of the weather
while the infection is in progress. Note
! carefully the condition of things in neigh
boring fields. Keep full notes.
Do not be discouraged by the small
number Of infected bugs received from
the station. -Four bugs covered with the
white fungus will communicate the in
fection as ctfcctually ;ts four thousand
DO not be troubled if all the bugs arc
dead when they reach you, but proceed
at once to follow the instructions.
Save Il quantity of funyus-covcrcd ano
nom n-fun~uS-covprcd dead bugs in Il tir
box FOR use next year.
Should the first lot Of infected bugs
from the station seem to fail in its pnr
y 3*c. send without delay for Il new sup
ply.
