The part that P. C. Jones took in
the American Union Party conven'
ton, on the 18th inst, is well re.

January II, 1898. Recognizing his
high personal merit, earnestness,
and generosity, the delegates gave
expression in the following:

principle of the party, is markedly
and practically manifest upon this
occasion, to the great advantage of the
American Union Party therefore,

Tie address, neatly framed, was
presented to Mr.. Jones Tuesday
afternoon.
In this connection these beauti-
lines from Mrs. Hemans' great
poem on Plymouth Rock will not
be inappropriate.
Aye, call it holy ground,
The soil where first they trod;
They have left unstained what there
they found:
Freedom to worship God.

war of the rebellion was at its height,
Captain Godfrey became master of
the schooner Chief, which was also
engaged in cOasting, but which was
in the following year mustered into
the service of the Government, and
engaged in carrying supplies for the

Capt. Godfrey returned to New York
city and shipped as first mate on the
schooner Fanny Gilmore, for San
Francisco, where he arrived via Straits
of Magellan in 1868. The Fanny Gill
more became a Hawaiian coaster, its
name having been changed to Kulu-
mana. For about eighteen months
Captain Godfrey was engaged in the
lime carrying trade between San
Francisco and Santa Cruz, Cal, after
which he entered the service of A.
Crawford & Co., of San Francisco, and
remained with that firm for the next
eight years as master of different YES
sells, viz, the schoOners Alaska, VIM.

was himself part owner.
In 1877, Captain Godfrey married at
Honolulu the daughter of an old and
respected merchant, Miss Carrie E.
Mclean, whom he had first met in
1870. The year following his marriage
he engaged with the Inter-Island

San Francisco and bring back the

The Way to Kill Chinch Bugs.
From the Kansas City Star.

The farmers OF Missouri are threat
ened and in some localities have
been attacked by a dangerous ene-
my against which they should join
in a common defense which, to be
effective, must be speedy. The enc
my is the chinch bug which has al
ready taken the field in Southwest
ern Missouri. The method OF de-
tense is the application of the chinch
bug infection; the party from whom
help is to be secured is DIR. Edwin
d. Porter of the State Agricultural
College, Columbia, Mo. Farmers
who wish to give the chinch bugs a
bad turn should PUT half a pint of
healthy chinch bugs in a baking
powder tin can with some green
wheat or corn leaves for the bugs
to live on during their trip to Co.
lumbia. The sender should place
on the outside of the can his own
name and address, and send the
can by express, prepaid, to Doctor
Porter, at the same time sending
notice by mail.
In exchange for his healthy bugs
the sender will receive infected,
sick. poisoned, diseased deadly bugs
which he will proceed to turn loose
according to directions, with the re-
suit that the chinch bugs which are
destroying his fields will be all in.

is no mere experiment. The in

years in Kansas and Missouri. 1t

MANSFIELD, o., May 24.-Dr. F.
j. Kellmerten, of this city, editor
of the Courier, has just arrived from
Washington, and while there, in
company with his wife, visited Miss
Jennie Lander, formerly ofthis city,
who went to Washington some
months ago to take charge of little
Ruth Cleveland. DIR. Kallmerten's
intimate acquaintance with Miss
Lander, whom he knew in Dom,
Germany, before she came to this
city, gave him an opportunity to
visit her several times. Upon these
occasions he saw and talked with
little Ruth, who, according to the
recent Washington dispatches wide
ly published, is physically and men.

"These reports are outrageously
false said DR.. Kallmerten. 81
noticed the child closely, questioned
her, and studied her mental pro-
cesses carefully, and have no hesita-
ton in saying that she is physically
sound and strong and as bright
mentally as any child of her age
that l ever saw. During my active
professional practices l made a
special study of children and their
diseases. The little girl talks plain
ly and intelligently, is a keen OBJ
server and gives every indication of
being very active mentally. She
has learned German from her gov
erness and knows the names and
can call them in German and En-
glish of all the common objects about
her. She is constantly importuning
her governess to know the French
names for them.
"The story about the extreme Sc
cretiveness as to allowing the child
rem of the White House to be seen
is also largely mythical, as shown
by the readiness with which l saw
them on account of my acquaintance
with the Presidential family. Any
one vouched for by some member
of the household is as much at lib
erty to see the White House child
rem, at proper time and place, as
are friends or acquantances to see

ALABAMA DEMOCRATS.
They Endorse the National Admins.
IratiOn-CieFeland's Financial
Policy Satisfactory TO
the Majority.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 90
There was a stormy scene in the
Alabama Democratic Convention to-
day. In the recent contest for the
Gubernatorial nomination in Alaba-
ma the issues resolve themselves:
Do the Democrats of Alabama in
dorse Mr.. Cleveland's or Senator
Morgan's position on silver?
All else has been lost sight Of.
On this question the campaign be-
came exceedingly warm, and intense
feeling was felt and manifested.
Colonel William Oates, who cham
pioned Mr.. Cleveland, was yesterday
declared the
NOMINEE o GOVERNOR.
At the hands of the Democratic
State Convention.
To-day the Committee on Plat.
form and Resolutions made its re-
port. The platform was practically
that on which Mr.. Cleveland was
elected. The platform proposed
heartily indorsed Mr.. Cleveland and
his administration of the affairs OF
the Government. 1t was unani-
mously adopted along with some
other resolutions the committee pro-
posed, recognizing the splendid
ability and attainments of Senator
John I. Morgan, and recommending
his reelection by the Legislature
which meets in December.
When the resolution had been
read John B. Cox, of Admission,
Ala, a pronounced silver man, and
a politician of great influence in
Alabama, sprung TO his feet and Of
fered a substitute in the same Ian
guage as that in the resolution, but
1ndorSing also the
DEMOCRACY OF JOHN t. MORGAN.
At this a howl went up from both
sides. Intense excitement existed.
Several imprisoned speeches from
both sides only served to increase
the frenzy of the convention. A
motion was made to table the SUBJ
stitute. a vote by counties was
called for. The Secretary anuounc-
ed the result of the vote as in favor
of tabling the substitute.
The Morgan men sprang to their
feet in a rage and demanded a veri-
fication of the vote. The calmer
delegates held their breath in anx-
iety. Just at this time Colonel H.
Clay Tompkins, of Montgomery the
Chairman of the Committee on Res
olutions, an ardent partisan and
Cleveland man, stepped upon the
floor.
He WAS KISSED.
By the other side, but he persisted
in his purpose and offered a SUBJ
stitute 10 all resolutions containing
the words used in the original reso-
luton, but going further and say
ing that, while some of the Demo-
Gratis of Alabama differed with the
senior Senator on matters of policy,
they ipdorsed his Democracy. This
resolution was accepted by both
sides, and the substitute prevailed
unanimously. In the platform of the
Democratic party adopted this after
noon by the State Convention the
following silver plank was en-
bodied:
"While there are differences of
opinion among us in matters of
detail, we all believe in the free
coinage of silver whenever it can
be done consistently with the main
tenance of ID sound and safe cur
rency. We earnestly urge upon our
Senators and Representatives in
Congress the speedy reform of the
tariff and the prompt repeal OF the
10 per cent tax of the issue of state
banks.n
