put him at the head of the dele eyation,
and will name no associates not thor

down. to bolt and elect a contesting dele
cation.

cast with those of the Democrats ana
Populists and WAS the decisive vote in
declaring Dupont not entitled to a seat.

Last evening at sunset began the Jewish
Feast of Tabcrnacles, or Succouth.
Besides marking the gathering of tho
second harvest in Palestine, tlc festival
is reminder of the escape Of the Israel
tiles from Egyptian bondage and tho
wandering in the wilderness for forty
years.
The Israclites were directed to dwell in
booths for the seven days of the festival,
and for this reason the anniversary Is also
called the Feast of Booths.
A few families continue tho custom of
building booths in the yards Of their resi-.
dences, in which they take their meals
during the week of the festival. The
booths are adorned with fruits and flow
ers, with green foliage for roof.
Services were held last evening and will
be held to-day in the synagogues, many of
which were decorated with autumn flow
ers anu with fruits Of the harvest, Only
the first and last day of the weeks festi.

Given good boiler filter and some suit
able means of circulating the water, any
boiler owner who installs plant Of this
kind In a section where much lime Is con
tained in the feed water will find it a we'll
paying investment. 1t will not only do
away with all expense Of frequent cleaning
of boilers and greatly reduce the cost of re-
pairs, but it will also greatly lepgthen the
life of boiler. In O section of country
where the water Is SO bad that the life of
boiler is only from 9 to 10 months this dc.
vice has been In use on the same kind Of
boilers for number OF years, with prac-
tically no expense for repairs. 1t does not
need any argument, moreover, to prove
that from 30 to 80 per cent more water can
be eyaporated per pound Of fuel with well
arranged, clean boiler than with one that
Is badly scaled, and that the danger from
clean boiler Is much less than from a
