ing to nearly fifty, occupied the interior
space as the proceedings progressed there

as might come before it.
On nominations for secretary, George
IL. stanton was elected unanimously.
Nominations for chairman being in
oraer, the name of w. r. Pigott was
presented but that gentleman declined.
DIR. j. A. Sweat was then placed 10 nomi-

A committee of three on credentials
was on motion then appointed by the
chairman, with instructions to fiji any
vacancy caused by absence Of delegates,
with selections from the alternate dele
gates. The committee consisted Of p.
b. Gallagher, Charles Wegner and L. II.
Clarke.
A few delegates we're found absent
from the Second and Third wards, but
their vacancies were filed by later ar
rivals.

nomination for city treasurer. j. b.
Leslie in a neat and eloquent address
presented the name of Charles d. Wilt
for that position. The motion was sec
onded by Ii. S. Green and it was carried
unanimously.
On motion Mr.. Wilt was unanimously
made the nominee of the convention. A
committee of three, consisting OF Messrs
Leslie, Pigott and Lyter, were then ap-
pointed to inform Mr.. Wilt Of his nomi-

the delegates from each ward in caucus
selected one member to be a city COM
mitaee. The following gentlemen we're
elected:
First ward, w. G. Downing; Second
ward, j.. w. Albers; Third ward, G. w.
Hanneman; Fourth ward, II. S. Green.
On nominations for chairman Of city
central committee Messrs. Wegner and

At this point Mr.. Wilt and the com.
mittee appointed to wait upon him, en-
tered the room amidst great applause.
j. Ii. Leslie, chairman of the committee,
being called on for report stated: ''I've
found the gentleman and he is yours"
Mr.. Wilt then in a short but terse speech
thanked the convention for the honor
conferred, and that he would discharge
the duties Of the Office to the best of his
ability.
w. G. Downing then in a graceful
speech nominated j. B. Leslie for chair.
man OF the city central committee. The

MUST STAND THE DISCOUNT,

County Officers Mast Accept Warrants
on the General Fund.
One of the county officers of Meagher
county recently wrote to Attorney Gen.
eral Haskell complaining that he had to
accept for his pay warrants on the gen
eral fund, which were at a discount. In
reply the attorney general has written
an opinion in which he says that the act
OF March s., 1891, concerning compensa-
ton of county, district, and township
officers, provided that salaries Of county
officers should he paid by warrants on
the contingent fund, in monthly install
ments. On March ., 1893, the legisla-
ture again amended the law by striking
out the word contingent and inserting
the word general" From this the at
torney general concludes that the war
rants for salaries must be drawn on the
general fund and not on the contingent
fund.

New developments have occurred in
this now celebrated case. The prisoner
Wagner, vas taken to the Deer Lodge
penitentiary by Al. Hamilton, sheriff OF
Teton county. On their arrival there
Wagner shook hands with the warden
and the inmates of the prison. He was
evidently at homo. Inquiries showed
that his name was Thomas Hatfield, and
that prior to his arrival at Great Falls
he had just served out a term of two
years for forgery in Custer county. This
agrees 10Y with his going into Egloff's
jewelry store and presenting a pin to
have a diamond set put in, gave his
name as Hatfield. He worked that
sympathy racket well of being drunk or
crazy at the time he committed the crime
here. but it is proved now he is an old
offender.

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the history of
our country when the demand for inyen-
tons and Improvements in the arts and sci
ences generally was so great as now. The
convenienceS of mankind in the factory
and workshop, the household, on the farm,
and in official life, require continual access
Slons to the appurtenances and implements
of each in order to save labor time aud eX-
pense. The political change in the admin
lstration of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who be-
ing on the alert, and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit the af-
fairs of government to deter HIM from
quickly cOpceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great care can
not be exercised in choosing competent
and skillful attorney to prepare and prose-
cute an application for patent. Valuable
interests have been lost and destroyed in
innumtrable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and especially is
this advice applicable to those who adopt
the "No patent, no pay" system. Invent
ors who entruSt their business to this class
of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the
breadth and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY,

senting large number of important daily

odicals of the country, was instituted to

Wig and Gown.

1t was once the invariable practice of
barristers to powder their wigs, but this
custom has now almost entirely disap-
peared from the bar. Only one advo-
cate, so far as we are aware, saves it
from absolute death, and he is Sir Henry
James, whose black shoulders are always
sprinkled with the white powder that
falls from his wig. This distinguished
lawyer shows that wig and gown may
be worn in more ways than one. His
gown never fails to slip from his shout
ders while he is addressing the court,
and he is accustomed to herald each
fresh argument he brings to bear upon
the case by attempting to restore the
fallen gown to its proper place.
In this respect he resembles another
eminent @. c., Mr.. Finlay, whose gown.
is always half way down his back. Sir
Charles Russell and Sir Richard Web
ster and the other leaders of the bar do
not display any peculiarities in the wear
ing Of their wigs and gowns. There is at
least one well known member of the bar
who, not content with permitting his
gown to slip down to his waist, wears his
wig at an angle that perilously approaches
his nose.-London Tt-Bits.

Bound to Be Heard From.

Harlem has always been noted for the
bright youngsters who run around its
ozone laden precincts, and it now holds
one especially bright boy from whom all
New York may expect to hear in the next
dozen years. He lives on Lenox avenue
and has to amuse himself ON its level
pavements a velocipede, an express
wagon, pair of roller skates, a big iron
hoop and pretty little sister.
Most boys would be satisfied to play
with one, or at most two, Of these arti-
Giles at time, but not this youngster.
He is a firm believer in the doctrine of
getting the greatest amount of good out
of the greatest number of things in the
shortest amount of time, and this is the
way in which l saw him carrying out his
principles few days ago:
He strapped on his skates, hitched his
wagon to his velocipede, put his little
sister in the wagon, bestrode the veloci-
pede, started off with a few strokes of his
skates, and while steering the machine
with one hand guided the hoop with the
other.
The other and less progressive boys of
the neighborhood watched him with an
expression in which awe and envy were
nicely blended, and his parents came out
to brag about his ingenuity.

Philadelphia,s Waiting Mice.

Lately the employees at the Philadel-
phia Geological garden have been amused
by the antics of some queer little animals
which are not on public exhibition. The
newcomers are black and white Japa-
nese waltzing mice, seven in number.
When let out of their cages, they wink
at each other and step gracefully forward
with a movement which some of the be-
holders declare is bow. Head Keeper
Manley whistles Annie Rooney" and
the mice skip away in pairs with queer,
whirling motion. When he strikes up
"The Bowery," they revolve so fast that
nothing can be seen but little gray balls.
"Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay" causes them to
"swing corners" and dance "all hands
around" Once the owner ventured to
play the "Dead March while they were

the little rodents fed to the cages like a
man pursued by the nightm?re.--Phila-

IOrming SuuareS.

1t is remarkable that recent tactics in
the Soudau, when we formed squares to
resist the rush Of our fanatical oppo-
nents are simply copy of those which
Napoleon was compelled to adoptil that
part Of the world nearly centu ago.
The Mamelukes, who We're his most dan
gerous antagonists, were better trained
and better mounted than any cavalry he
had to bring against them, and, more
over, greatly outnumbered the French
squadrons. He was obliged, therefore,
to rely entirely on his artillery and in
fantry, and these were formed into
squares, with the guns at the angles, just
as our troops were drawn up to stem the
rushes at FL Teb and Tamai.
At Ulundi our formation was the same,
and, like us ON that occasion, we rad
that Napoleon placed his baggage and
cavalry in the center of the square, and
when the foe was beaten launched the
horsemen to the pursuit just as we loose
our squadrons ON the Enthusiastically

Peculiar Plant Lice.

Livingstone tells of a species of aphis,
or plant louise. which inhabits the fig
trees of Africa, which constantly distil
water until it forms in great puddles on
the ground underneath. There seems to
be some contention among naturalists
as to whether this insect .distils its wa
ter from the sap of the plant which it
infests or the atmosphere. Livingstone
found some of them at work on castor
bean plant and set about making an ex-
pertinent. When first surprised at their
work, distillation was going on at the
rate of one drop every 81 seconds, or
about 81 tablespoonfuls every "a hours.
He destroyed the bark of the plant be-
low them, and although it is known that
sap must come from the earth they were
actually distilling a drop every five Sec
onds, the flow being 10 times greater
than it was the day before. He then CIR
died the plant so deeply that it dried and
broke off. Still the little colony Of insect
wonder kept at work, regularly distill-
ing one drop every five seconds, while
another colony on green twig only
to distil drop every II Sec
onds.-St. Louis Republic.

Erred Grant ON Diplomacy.

Colonel Fred D. Grant, in his address
at the dinner in the Brooklyn Union
League club, spoke of diplomacy and
concluded by giving his ideas of the
qualifications diplomat should possess.
First" he said, "a diplomat should be
absolutely loyal to his own government,
for no foreign statesman will respect or
trust a man who has not always been
loyal to the country he represents. He
must be sufficiently educated in his pro-
fession to be able to intelligently discuss
the intercourse between nations and pro-
pose honorable and fair dealings for the
future, and he should be able to do this
in the French, which is the diplomatic
language, in the language of the country
to which he is accredited, as well as in
his own tongue. Second, diplomat
should, upon every possible occasion,
show most cordial feelings for the gov
eminent, customs and institutions of
the nation to which he is accredited and
make every one with whom he comes in
contact feel that he is their friend.
Without these qualifications diplomat
can be of little use to his country, and
his record will be either inglorious or
utterly devoid of Importance. "-Phila,.
delphia Ledger.
