Produce Fine Cotton.

The full story of the horrors suf-
fered last summer from the hurri-
cane which desolated the islands
along our southern Atlantic coast
will never probably be fully told.
The newspapers were full at that
time with accounts of the misery of
the people and the utter desolation
wrought. At least 1000 human
beings lost their lives, 1000 persisted
subsequently from exposure and dis
ease, and between 10000 and 80, 900
were left homeless and helpless. In
Scribner's Magazine Joel Chandler
Harris, who has been in the South
visiting the scene Of the disaster,
gives an interesting account Of the
present condition of the islands, and
also tells something about the peo-
pie who live on them. 1t is from this
article that the following account is
summarized:
The Sea Islands, as these are called,
cover good deal of territory alto
gether, for they reach down the
whole coast from Charleston to Sa,
vannah. Those lying between Sa-
vannah and Port Royal are not so
large, either IN area or population, as

THROW UP YOUR HANDS.


The Most Sensible Thing to Do When a
Desperate Has the Drop on You.
"When a desperate gets the drop
on you the only thing for sensible
man to do is to throw up his hands,
says James Skaggs, of Coffeyville,
Kan, at the Lindell, to reporter
for the St. Louis Globe Democrat
"To throw up your hands is no rehec-
tion upon your bravery out in the
wild West. To attempt to draw
your weapon when a man has pulled
down on you is to invite verdict of
Game to death for beinga - fool ,
The most desperate man will throw
up his hands when he has the worst
of the draw. He argues that if he is
being arrested he will always have
the chance Of escaping. If his as
sailant simply desires to humilate
and intimidate him, why, there is the
broad future to get even in. | have

knew a little Wells Fargo man who
had great reputation for bravery.
The coach was held up on the Santa
Fe trail. The guard was one of the
first to surrender. The passengers
were disguised as they stood in line and
were robbed. When the coach re-
newed its journey they were very
harsh in the criticism of theiI guard
The coach rolled on for half mile
and turned bend behind some rocks,
The guard then stopped the coach
and unstrapped a Winchester from
the side of the vehicle. Then he
started back on foot alone. Just as
he expected, he came across the men
on the road dividing the booty. They
did not perceive him until he got his
Winchester at work and killed all
three in their tracks. Then he
stepped forward, secured all the
booty and the weapons of the robbers
and rejoined the coach about night

as he knew whaJ the brave fellow

Easy When You Know How.

The secrets of understanding are
much simpler than most people mag
inc, The snakes to be handled are
gorged with food until they become
drowsy, or else they are drugged so
that their senses are dazad. Some
times they are kept in ice-boxes, and
the cold keeps them in semi-torpid
condition, In either case tho snakes
are only half alive. In handling the
reptile the hand must always grasp it
at certain places where the head can
be guided and held from the body.
This is the hardest thing to learn, but,
like everything else, it comes with
practice. In handling a reptile with
the fangs in-which ought to be pro-
hibited by law-one requires great
strength, as the strain on the system
during the performance is very great.
The grasp and movements must be pre-
else and accurate. There is no room
for hesitancy or uncertainty.

TRAVELLING ON THE SEA ISLANDS

chance of being crowded from the
market by lmportations from Egypt.
In that country cotton nearly as good
Is raised and much more cheaply.
Last year So, 900, 900 worth Of it was
imported into the United States.
Mr.. Harris cannot speak in terms
sufficiently high Of the relief work
done by Miss Clara Barton and the
Red Cross Society for the people of
the Sea Islands. Tir6lessly, with
unremitting zeal the members Of the
society work, dealing out food and
provisons-a peck of gifts and a
pound Of pork which are the rations
for a family of six. These are car
ried home by the natives from the
relief station in their curious little
bull sulkles. The Red Cross people
are much hampered in their good
work by lack Of funds, but they do
everything that is possible toward
ameliorating the condition of the
unfortunate natives.

Color and thc Electrlo Light.

Some colors suffer by the electric
light, notably yellow and pink, Hello
trope assumes a pinlly hue, and many
delicate gradations Of shade are lest
under the light of the modern illumi-
nant. Pale blue also loses some of its
glory, but green is vastly improved.
Bright crimson looks we'll if artistic
ally and effectively toned down, and
some shades of primrose are espe-
cially beautiful. Wrinkles, it is said,
are mercilessly shown up, and the COM
pleXion that is not of natures making
becomes flat and CHASTITY in the truth

light is not popular with many people,
but the knowing hostess secures all its
beautiful effects and makes everlasting
friends of her lady guests by covering
every lamp with u shade of yellow
silk. The result is magical

Paper Pulp.

One of the difficulties which have
stood in the way of the substitution of
paper pulp for wood in the manufacture
of pencils has been the toughness of
the paper covering, and its consequent
resistance to the action of knife, but,
by new process which has lately been
introduced, the molecular cohesion of
the paper is modified in such manner
that it can be cut as easily as cedar
wood.

New Hampshire and Maine, these lines offer
exceptional advantages, being the most di-

report. The programme is that after
the usual preliminaries and reports Of
committees. the nomination of governor
shall be taken up, and the rest OF the
ticket down to state printer shall follow
in the customary order. This disposes
of the attempt to place the nomination
OF supreme court justices before the gov

for lieutenant governor. Ward of Los

Estee Sure OF Nomination, Perhaps by
Acclamatiou.
SACRAMENTO, June 19.-Ths tactics OF
the opposition tomorrow have not yet
been announced. and there is not, in
deed, great deal of interest in them,
inasmuoh as it is pretty generally con-
coded on all sides that the fight for Estee
is already won. Nothing but q marvel
GUS mischance can defeat him. The tall
tonight is that Estee will 90 in by accla-
nation, but it is not probable that
either Chapman or Mcdonald will thus
''lie down." An effort is now being
made to effect combination on the
basis that in case of no election ON the
fret ballot, the opposition candidate de-.
veloping the most strength shall receive
the support of the Others. That is to
say. if Chapman has more votes than
Mcdonald, the Tehama statesman there
after shall receive the support OF Nc
Donald's followers, and vice versa. OF
course the contamination OF this ar.
rangement depends upon the "snti-
boss" element mastering enough votes
to prevent choice on the first ballot.
1t is freely stated tonight that the
"slate" for the supreme bench, about
which, next to the governorship, the
main interest centers, is DsHaven, Van
Veet and Henshaw. The story goes
that the Los Angeles delegation has
sh6ivsd Mckinley, realizing that his
fight is houeless, and that it will sup
port the Alameda candidate, Henshaw,

SACRAMENTO, June l9.-At 2 o'clock
the pavilion was crowded with dele
gates and spectators. The Clunie Opera
company marched onto the stage and
sang the Star Spongle6l Banner and Hail
Colum bis, amidst great enthusiasm.
At2:l4 the gsvel of Chairman of State
Central Committee My srs dropped and
convention was calleH to order. He
made a short speech uuying the neces-
city of placing good ticket before the
people, and that the delegates 60 home
and support the ticket. He said:
'.In response to call made by the
Republican state central committee on
May Sd last. we are assembled here.
We are called upon to ominate state
ticket for our party, an feel, gentle
men, that you appreciate the great inn
portance of this responsibility and that
your wise and careful deliberations will
result in presenting a ticket that will
command the respect and confidence
not only of the Repu blic.tn party, but OF
ali good citizens of our state. But let
US not deceive ourselves. We have no
easy fight before US, and we must not
rest in our tents, for the present needs
of our nation require an old-time tight
for victory"
KNIGHT ELECTED CHAIRMAN.
Calling for nominations for temporary
chairman, P. B. Cornwall placed in NOM
ination George A. knight. There were
no other nominations, aud despite a
number OF negative votes cast against
closing nominations, Mr.. Knight was de.
clared elecsed. 1t was evident that the
fight for Short, at least foT temporary
chairman, was abandoned.
Mr.. knight came forward, assumed the
gavel and declined to make speech.
Frank D. Ryan, of Sacramento, was
made secretary of the convention.
Murray of San Diego moved for q Gre
dentiale committee of three from each
congressional district and one from the

Committees on platform and order OF
business, similarly spportioned, were
agreed on.

lay, appeared and began his address:
