Lack One of Having Control of Pennsylva-
 nia's Convention.

--"S-> NAAS VI @A"sAbS OonbrOl Ol feunSylVa-
 nia's Convention.
 Philadelphia, Pa, July 1.-The Ledger. Independent republican, today says: ...--
 Based on canvass of every county in the state an estimate is made that in the contest for the control of the republican state convention on the 2Sth, Governor Hastings and friends will have 145 dele gates and Senator Quay and followers 117 delegates. Sixteen delegates are classsd as doubtful. Philadelphia is thought likely to have fifty-fve Hastings dele gates and six Quay delegates, nine being doubtful.
 While the above estimate may not be absolutely accurate it is believed that it shows the relative strength of both fac- tions at the present time, and that the figures cannot be successfully questioned to an extent that would change the re- sult It will be seen that Governor Hast ings and his friends have just a majority of the state convention, and if they can hold these they will have absolute control Quay's friends the sixteen doubtful dele gates and eleven delegates from counties not heard from they would have IA dele gates, only one less than a majority.
 The faction controlling the. convention will elect a state chairman, and thus con- trol the party organization in Pennsyl- vania. The candidates for state chair man are Senator Quay and Bank Ex- aminer B. F. Gilkerson, the latter now holding the office.

TERRAPlN CATCHING.
Taken Most AbundantIy in Cold Weather
Because Of Their One UnvaryIng Habit.

Taken Most AbundantIy in Cold Weather
Because Of Their One Unvarying Habit.
No successful method of catching ter
rapin in large numbers has yet been de-
vised. A kind of set net is sometimes
used, but with no remarkable success.
The general statement holds that ter
rapin are caught singly. At no season
of the year do the fishermen, who
make side issue of terrapin, know ex-
actly where to look for them. All their
movements are aimless, and their only
habit which can be depended on is that
of burying themselves in the mud at
the bottom of the water during the
continuance of cold weather. In a
vague and general way this enables the
catcher to locate them, says David
Bruce Fitzgerald in Lippincotts Maya
zine. Accordingly, it is during the
cold months that terrapin are taken
most abundantly. Selecting some part
of the bay where the water is shallow
and which has a muddy bottom, the
catcher, in his boat, moves slowly
across and across it, continually
thrusting his long pole into the mud.
When he chances thus to encounter a
alternating diamond back he seizes his
prey with pair of oyster tongs, or
some similar appliance, and lifts him
gently into the boat. He rarely finds
very many in day, and he does not
need to find many in order to make
good wages. On occasions, few and
years between, lucky fisherman will
discover some particular favored spot
where the mud is full of tcrrapin en-
jOying their winters sleep. This is al
most equal to finding a small gold
mine. In the winter of 1898 a poor ne
gro fisherman CHANGED upon such a
nest of diamond backs near Tangier is
land; he took out twelve hundred dol.
lars worth in four hours, and then
gave up only because he was ex-
hausted.

From 1854 to 1892 Mr.. Baker was re-

was urged to run for state senator. In

He will not scheme to secure a reelec-
ton for the reason that he will not
want it. Honors are nothing to him.
He is honest and faithful to trust, and
the thought that weighs heaviest on
his mind is the fact that he is sacrific-
