LIEUT.. COY. D0UGHToN.

There is no man who has a stronger
hold on the affections of the people
than Hon. Rufus A. Doughton. He is
always unselfish, always putting the
party above any personal ambition.
He had hundreds of friends in the con-
yeHtion who wanted to nominate him
for Governor, but Mr.. DoBghton did not
permit the use of his name. He and
Mr.. Watson are warm friends, and Mr..
Watson urged Mr.. Doughton TO become
the candidate, but he and hi. friends
pressed Mr.. Watson to accept the posi-
ton. He is a true leader of the people
One who viii be heard from in the
future.

hOYAL no DEM0CRACY.

Another shout went up, in the midst
of which Col. Means arose again and
was recognized. Col Means was
very temperate, and his voice betrayed
the emotion that was within, when he
said with a spirit which found appre-
citation in the convention that he rose,
after his defeat, only in proof of his
loyalty to Democracy and desire for
united effort; he moved that the report
of abe platform be made unanimous
Then the House rang from end to end,
and Delegate lie Grand, of Richmond,
was on his feet to move the motion be
carried by a rising vote. This was car
ried in a rush, and the vote was or
derad The whole great mass of dele
gates rose almost as one, but there
was one little nest of three: they were
Mecklenburgers, with the obstinacy of
the men of Revolutionary days from
whom they were probably descended

SYMPATHY WITH CUBA.
Delegate J. D. Bellamy offered a res
olution of sympathy with Cuba which
was adopted by a rising vote, which
was by no means unanimous many vot-
ing against the resolution, and one
delegate, T. L. Emery, of Halifax go
ing so far as to move to table it.
ONLY ONE CONVENTION.
The motion was now pressed by Cox,
of Asheville that there be no further
debate on the question of one or two
conventions and on this the roll of
counties was called with the follow
ing result: $50 ayes, and 81 noes.
A delegate from Durham moved to
adjourn, but it was lost with a howl.
Mr.. Fab. Busbee made the point of or
der that motion to adjourn was notin
order when the motion for the previous
question had been carried.
Therefore, the vote was now pro-
ceeded with as to whether there
should be only one convention. Secre-
tary Burkhead was explaining the res
olution saying that ''those in favor OF
one convention say aye;" and he con-
vention shouted with one voice, amidst
laughter at the mistake To
the chagrin of Secretary Burlhead

HOW THE TIDE TURNED.

This is how it was: there were cries
from the Ninth district in the gallery,
Charley Vance among them, who had
asked the same question in the after
noon, and from Judge Bynum, and
from a dozen delegates, "Wll he can
vass the State if he is nominated? ?"
This question was answered in the
negative, when hundreds of voices
went up: mo! no! no! Watson! Wat
son!" But Judge Bennett had said
that the fact that he did not canvass
would be worth 10000 more votes to
the Democratic party. But the tenn
per of the crowd was the other way.
J. W. Granger seconded the nomina-
ton of Judge Clark, taking the same
position with Judge Bennett, Delegate
Lucas, of Hyde, came up in rousing
speech for Cyrus Watson, which was
warmly received. Judge Bynum forged

HeIler'S Best Trick.

There comes to mind Heller and his
alleged sister, Haidee. With them there
vas an interview in the Continental
Hotel in this city, in September, 1873,
where the greatest of all modern ma
gicians subsequently died. Bear in mind
that at the time the Hellers had

SON. Upon the occasion referred to,
Heller had talked with the narrator for
only few minutes when his sister en-
tered the room from an adjoining
apartment Her blonde tresses were
massed in one simple coil. She was tall
stately, tastefully dressed, and pleas
ant talker Her voice was clear and
musical. In order that what followed
may be intelligently considered. it is
necessary to tell about all that occurred
while Miss Heller was in the room. She
seemed to be forever doing what might
be termed taking things in at a
glance" Upon a center table she placed

and a couple of goblets. Partaking

was still sitting in his chair, with the
visitors back toward him. Miss Heller
moved around the room for a few mo-
ments, and then retired to her apart
ment, from whence shortly afterward
the clear tones of her voice could be
distinctly heard discussing with some
one-probably a maid-the mysteries of
some new dress. Heller having told of
his famous Indian box trick, was
asked:

Very Funny.

One of the funniest incidents of the
present crisis is the issue of circular to
the bankers by a young fellow VINO con-
ducts a filthy, sensational, free silver
paper to take counsel with him touching
the lengthening of the Presidential term
to seven years. The seriousness with
which filthy, sensational papers take
themselves often gives an air of humor
to them which somewhat ightens the
sorrow of decent people over them. They
draw smiles as well as tears from them.

hold of the ring on one of the visitors
fingers.
"A ring"

Gold, single setting

''Bloodstone."
Heller then resumed his talking, but
few moments afterward he caught
the visitors person, and his sister
named them each in turn, but this time
it was noticeable that he had changed
his tone of inquiry for he did rot once

the bundle; they are papers from

from the adjoining room, Il thought it

made no reply. This unexpected Incl

very cleverly executed trick. There was
no question that between Robert Heller
and the girl Haidee there existed a per

doned. The percentage of morphine
and anarcotine IN the three chief kinds
of opium in use in the world is shown
in the following table:
Morphia Anarcotine.
Patna opium ..39S 636
Malwa opium ..4G1 51i
Smyrna opium .....S.27 1.94
This consideration reveals two inter-
esting facts. The opium which is in
medical use in Europe is Smyrna opium;
that from which almost all the drink
ing and smoking extracts in use in In
dia are prepared is Patna opium. In
other words, De Quinceys opium con-
talnS at least twice as much morphia as
ordinary Indian opium. And further
experiments made by the Government
analyst at Hongkong and published in
the Gazette" of India tend to show
that in China, at all events, where, how
ever, opium is habitually smoked, not
drank, the morphine is not the element
for the sake of which the drug is taken.
For it was found that Indian opium,
which has the lowest percentage of NOR
phine, is most highly priced. and a

various samples were submitted, with
out any remark, for his opinion, pro-
nounced against those which contained

favor of those containing the lowest per-
centage. The conclusion is that we must
not judge entirely by De Quincy.

Rev. Mr.. Poteat said at the meeting
of ladies of his congregation, Wednes-
day, that his objections to church fairs
Were not based on the effect of these
fairs upon the ones who get them up,
but upon the ones who patronize them.
Contributions made to the church in
such a manner do not have the same
beneficial spiritual effect upon the giver
as true Christian giving does. 1t mixes
and confuses motives in the mind Of
the giver. The Christian who buys
does SO to help the workers and would
much rather give directly. The prac-
tice of giving by buying sucks the
blood of the true benevolent spirit. 1t
makes giving outright without this ac-
compartment more difficult. For eX-
ample, the woman who spends $2.49 at
sale thinks that a contribution of
fifty cents to a mission fund is beyond
her means. Anything that comes be-
tween US and the true spirit of giving
does not do us the good it should.

OBITUARY NOTES.
Death of Mrs. Alvira Holt, Sister of Mrs.
Sylvanus Butler.


Mrs. Alvira Holt, who died at the
home of her only sister, Mrs Sylvanus
Butler, 456 Chapel street, on the morn
ing of the 22d, was the widow of Hi
ram II. Holt of Terryville, Conn.
The lives of these two aged sisters
have a pathos, which, when known,
will appeal to the hearts of strangers
even. Mrs Butler has been totally
blind for thirty-seven years and Mrs.
Holt for eight years. For the past
twelve years these devoted Christian
sisters have occupied the same home;
and While their infirmity has caused
them to be "shut-ins," they have en-
joyed, in an exceptional degree, the
companionship each of the other. Mrs.
Holt was born in Bristol, Conn, Sep
TENDER 16, 1921. Mrs. Butler is about
three years her senior. Mrs Hollis two
sons survive her-Harvey b. Holt Of
Terryville, Conn, and Henry c. Holt,
formerly of New Haven, but now of
Springfield, Mass.
The funeral services of Mrs. Holt
will be held at the home of her sister
this morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. j. H.
Mason will officiate. The remains will
be taken to Terryville, Conn, and laid
beside her husband.

Family History.

Family History.
Wallingford, Dec. 24.--Mrs Nancy
Newton, widow OF Marshall Newton,
late of Newfane, VT, died on the 22d
inst. at her home in Newfane, in her
eighty-sixth year. She was born In
Wardsboro, VT, in 1911. Her father,
the Rev. James Tufts, was graduate
of Brown university, and was settled
early in life over the Congregational
church in Wardsboro, where his minis
try continued until his death, nearly
fifty years later Her grandfather,
William Tufts of New Braintree, Mass,
was a soldier in the French and Indian
wars, and upon the breaking out OF the
Revolutionary war was given a lieuten-
ants commission His father, John
Tufts, an Immigrant from the North of
Ireland, was also soldier in the Colo
NAL wars.
Mrs. Newton, thoroughly imbued with
the spirit of patriotism, gave to the
Union army three of her sons, one of
whom was killed at the battle of Spot
sylvania in Grants last grand struggle
to crush the Confederacy. To her six
surviving children she leaves the price
less heritage of devoted love, generous,
warm hearted sympathy and kindly
beneyolence. Her industry and untlr-
ing energy will be an inspiration TO hef
descendants. She is also survived by
one brother, the Rev. James Tufts or
Monson, Mass, who is among the old
est living of the graduates of Yale
The interment will be at Newfane to-
morrow.

CONTRACTS FOR HARBoR I'M
PROVEMENTS.

The contract for dredging out the
harbor channel has been awarded to w.
H. Taylor, jr. of Jersey City, N. j. The
work is done under an appropriation of
$4,000 made by congress.
The work will be commenced in the
spring and the improvements will be
made parallel to those of the past sea-
son.
The channel will be made sixteen feet
at low water over Pardee's bar from a
point off the lighthouse to the jetty,
on the West Haven shore. The present
depth is about fourteen feet at extreme
low water.
C. B. German, engineer of this dis
trict, states it is the plan to widen and
deepen the channel by a small appro-
priation each year until the work is
completed.
