A Etranrc Si-i,t,

One of the most amusing spectacles of the Columbian exposition was seen in front of the California building on the day of the state celebration. A free distribution of fruit had been widely advertised, and carloads of fruit had been scnt-grcat luscious peaches, pluTs, pears, nectarines and half-yard punches of white Muscat grapes and flaming Tokays. Great booths were erected outside the build ing, and dozen fine young California men, her best products, handed out fruit to vociferous, struggling, eager crowd for seven long hours. It was a sight to be remembered. Sometimes the air was full of the larger fruits, which were tossed out among the crowd and promptly caught, but the punches of grapes had to be treated more tcnderly. Hats, hands and bas- kcts reached out for the generous punches, and hundreds came away bearing their well-fought-for burden to share with friends. On this occasion many had come from distant parts of the grounds.

A .Enkc Yr-eA by ,Inrv.

A North Carolina paper tells the following: At IIarnett county superior court, a few years since, Judge Shipp presiding, the trial of cause had been protracted till near midnight. The jury was tired and sleepy and showed flaggirg attention. Willie Murchison, who was addressing the jury, thought to arouse them, so he said: Gentle men, I will tell you an anecdote." In- stantly the judge, the jury and the few spectators pric!Ied up their ears and were all attention, as Murchison was admirable in that line, had fund of anecdotes and no one could tell them better. But he soan proceeded to tell one of the dullest, prosiest and most pointless jokes possible. Everybody looked disappointed. The judge, lean ing over. said in an unmistal1able tone of disappointment: Mir. Murchison, I don't see the point to that joke" Nor I. either" replied the witty counsel. ''But your honor told it to me on our way down here and as 1 thought the lack of appreciation must be due to my obtusen2ss I concluded to give the joke trial by jury"

Cleveland Denounced.

CHICAGO, May president
Cleveland was bitterly denounc-
ed as false to his party in the
Democratic county convention
today. He was repudidated by
ex-Judge Mcconnell and the re-
pudidation was indorsed by the
cheers of the delegates. He was
scored by ex-Congressman w. j.
Bryan of Omaha, and again the
crowd howled its approval. Mr..
Cleveland was violently assault
ed for his utterances against sill
yer, and Senator John M. Palm
er came in for scoring because
he was billed to speak in favor
of the presidents policy at the
Waubansee banquet this even
ing.
This, the first monetary con-
vention in the history of Cook
county, was held at the North
Side Turner hall. Free silver
Democrats were in control, and
guided by the oratory of ex-Con-
gressman Bryan and ex-Judge
Mcconnell. they adopted resolu-
tions and selected delegates to
the state convention at Spring
field June 5. Judge Mcconnell
presided over the convention.
Mr.. Bryan made a ringing speech
in favor of the free coinage of
silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, and
dealt the Democratic Office hold
ers who agree with President
Cleveland, some sharp strokes,
which brought the blood to
Postmaster Hesing's side whisk-
ers.
| Along toward noon Chairman
Peabody called the meeting to
order and Secretary Burke read
the call. Judge Mcconnell, upon
taking the chair, said in part
II take it as of the deepest
significance that the Democracy
of the county has been called to
gether to consider the subject O.
our coinage. For twenty years
the party has stood for an equal
, ity of the two metals. In 189.
> the national convention solemn,
resolved in favor of bimetalli,
system, and upon that platform
we elected a man in the presiden
|, cy. The man who has receives
of us our suffrages has repudi
ated the Democratic party, an'
now we repudiate him.
I'm 1891 there was tremend
