tho biggest conventions that ever as-
scmbici in the state on her hands, The
number OF delegates present was far
beyond the widest expectation. Of
everybody, and when the time for tho
meeting arrived, II o'clock, the rink,
which 1t was supposed would amply
accommodate tho 1000 delegates eS.
pectcd, was found to DO too small bv
ono'nai for the 1000 who clamorcd ior
admission. Il was crush, and the con-
fusion was very great in consequence.
1t WIS physical iElposaibility for tn q
county delegations to be seated together.
The nis!os were packed with = mass
OF struggling humanity. !: was seen at
oncO that tho convention would either
have 10 be trimmed down to working
proportions or adjourn to larger hall.
Just previous to calling the Conyen.
tion TO order that old Republican war
horse, Ex-Governor pierpont was espiod
on the stage and Immediately a shout
went up for him. Ihc governor aroge
and was rendered O mighty ovation.
The governor said 1t was not HE turn,
that 1t was time 10 call the convention
TO order and he would only cay q word
whilc the assembly was waiting ior the
appearance OF Vice President Hooten
who had not yet appeared. The vet
cran ex-governor, despite the weight OF
his four score years, was in splendid
form and addressed the convention
briefly with something OF his old time
fire. He referred to the issues OF the

1 do not think the bill practical aud
do not think the scheme to build the
ditch good one, for the following
reasons: First the whole volume of
water in the Arkansas river is already
appropriated and used by bitches al
ready built; ?. The proposed ditch
will cost over Si,oo0,000 and will
only water rs, ,4S0 acres of land This
would make the cost of water per
acre too great for owners of land to
pay, and further, no person or com
pany will take hold of it,. as !. is not
a good proposition. Further, l do
not think the school lands can be sold
at $50 per acre for wears to come, as
the supply of water is so uncertain,
and it will yet take five years for con
victs to complete the rock work at
the head OF the ditch

The bill repeating all federal cleo
tion laws regulating the control of
congressional elections passed both
houses of congress on Wednesday
and only awaits the signature of
President Cleveland to become law.
After several weeks of discussion the
senate on that day finally came to a
vote on the house bill repeating the
federal election laws and it passed by
vote OF 80 ayes to 2S nays Nu-
merous amendments were presented
by the republicans but they were
voted down regularly and methodi-
cally, the democrats not even taking
the trouble to join the debate on the
amendatory resolutions. Senator
Stewart, of Nevada, voted with the
democrats on every proposition CIV
ing as his reasons that he thought
the power Of the executive was al
ready too great and that the central
izing tendency of the age should be
checked at once If the republic is to
survive. The three populist senators,
Allen, Kyle and PETER also voted
with the democrats on every amend
ment as well as on the main bill The
measure as it passed the senate deals
with the bill as it passed the house,
no committee amendment having
been proposed.

The state senate has finally con-
cluded to go to work. They have al
ready killed the most of the bills
passed by the house carrying appro-
priations, including the Carlton
bridge bill. To be consistent they
must give quietus to State Canal
No. l. At the rate they have started
in it will take but few days to dis
pose of the house bills, and as none
have been introduced an adjourn

The bill of Mr.. Crowley for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 from the in
ternal Improvement fund, for the
purpose of storing the water supply
of Twin Lakes, is meritorious one.
The Lakes empty into the Arkansas
river and the purpose is to store the
water, and when needed add them to
the river supply. This would assist
the entire valley. Leadville is op-
posing strongly, as she wants the
lakes for resort. They are beauti-
full bodies of water teaming with
trout The bill has passed the house
and it is believed the senate looks
upon it with some favor.

The French Village Laborcr.

The material condition of the day
laborer is much better than it was half
q century ago in every way. Then men
might be seen thrashing the corn i'll

only sixpence n day and their food, and
during the harvest they earned only 1s.
Cd day
A farm servant of II years of age,
who now earns at least Ga a year, then
received only his food, tho farmer sup
plying him with wooden shoes and Il
blouse. At II only would he begin to
earn little money. AS rule, the
French laborcr is sober, industrious,
Woodworking and thrifty, his chief aim
being to save n little money or to buy
land to leave to his children. AS n rule,
families are not numerous, and one rare
ly if ever secs such early marriages as
are frequent among the lower classes in
England One reason is that the mill
tary service is compulsory. Every man,
unless physically disabled, is bound to
serve for three years, from IL to -, so
they cannot marry till this is over, at any
rate, and many do not till much later.
However, the military service is certain

Proving His Point,

The late Governor Throckmorton Of
Texas was once engaged in the defonse
of man accused Of murder. The evil
denco against his client was too strong
to be overcome by any plea except that
of self defense but tho man killed was
in his shirt sleeves at the time, and no
ono had seen him with a weapon cx-
posed. MIR Throckmorton ut the proper
juncture of affairs suddenly pulled off
his coat and waistcoat and turning
around SO that the jury could sec every
side of him inquired whether, i'll their
Judgment, he was armed or not. The
answer in the negative was unanimous.
With knowing smile, Mr.. Throckmor-
ton proceeded to draw from under his
left arm one pistol, another from under
his right, one from each Of his boots,
and finally, 4 huge bowie knife from
under his shirt at the back of his neck.
AS he laid tho weapons i'll row ON the
table he said. You see. gentlemen, al
though in my shirt sleeves. it was not
safe to consider me unarmed. The
counsel for the prosecution knew from
that moment that their case was gone.

In the native quarters of the towns of

'oot The shoemaker uses no last, but
'urns the unfinished shoe with his feet,
while his hands are busy in shaping 1t.
30 the carpenter holds with his great
hoe the board he is cutting, and the wood
burner handles his tools as we'll with his
hoes rs with his fingers.
This use of the feet to assist the hands
n their labor is not, however, tho mere
result of practice, but is principally due
to the fact that tho Hindoo foot is quite
different from ours in its anatomical
conformation. Tho ankle Of the Hindoo
and the articulation of the back of the
foot permit considerable lateral motion.
Then tho toes possess n surprising mo-
bility. The great toe can be moved free
ly in all directions, and the first and sec
ond toes are separated by wide space,
sometimes as much as five-cighths of an
inch across at the base of tho toes and
two inches at their eXtremities.
The articulation of the hip is also Pc
culiar, and this renders it easier to use
the toes in handling the objects by en-
aiding the Hindoo to sit i'll squatting
posture much moro comfortably than
we can do. A similar formation of the
feet and toes is found among the An
amese, but 1t is not, rs might be sup
posed, common thing among barbar
Gus and savage tribes
Ono naturally thinks of the resem-
blanco to a monkey which u human be-
ing using both feet and hands in the
manner described above must present.
and yet NJ. Regnault is careful to point
out the fact that the Hindoo foot is not
at all like tho foot of an ape or monkey.

toes like a thumb, rs occurs with the
monkey, and accordingly the pedal dex-
terity Of the Hindoos is not to be taken

Mrs. Bartholomy Confesses Why Her Hus-
band Murdered Delaney.

BUFFALO, Juno 19-Distrct Attorney
kcncwick has spent considerable timc
with Mrs. Bartholomy mt police hcadquar-
tiers. He says that sho confessed that tho
murder of Delaney by her husband was q
clear case of blackmail, nothing else. De-
lancy did not attempt to strike Bartholo-
my. He was shot because he refused to
give up money. Mrs. Bartholomy was
moved to mako this confession by tho I'D
vice of her fathcp. The district attorney
says he has unquostionably established
the fact that the murder was the result of
an attempt at blackmnil, which makes it
u case Of murder in the first degree.
