REPUBLICAN, TERRITORIAL CON-
VEMTI0N.

The republican territorial conven-
tion met in Las Vegas last Saturday.
The convention was largely attended,
every county except Chavez being re-
presented.
1t was Don een there were two fac
tions in the convention. One wanted
to adopt gold standard platform and
renominate T. b. Catron. The other
wanted to adopt a free silver platform
and nominate L. B. Prince. There
we're many who belonged to neither
faction, some of whom wanted TO
adopt a free silver platform, and some
thought Mr.. Catron the weakest can
didate who could be nominated, and
wanted to see any other nan chosen.
When the convention was called to
order T. A. Finacal of Albuquerque
was chosen as temporary chairman,
and Fred A. Anderson of Rincon,
temporary secretary. The usual com
mittees were appointed and the con.
vention adjourned for lunch aud TO
give the committees time to prepare
their Reports. Grant county was re-
presented On the committees as fol-
lows: Resolutions ]. E. Sheridan, Gre
dentials d. II. Kedzie, rules and per-
manent organization r. Hudson.
At two o'clock the convention con-
vened. The committee on creden-
tials had no contests aud reported the
roll of members. The committee on
permanent organization reported Col.
j. Francisco Chavez for chairman and
G. j. Johnson and M. S. Taliaferro
for secretaries, and a list of vice pres
idents, one from each county. The
vice president from SocOrro county,
Estavan Baca was withdrawn, as he
did not want to serve until he knew
what the platform was going to be.
This withdrawal precipitated quite IA
discussion on the silver question.
Col. Chavez on taking the chair made
one Of his customary eloquent
speeches.
The committee on resolutions was
not ready to report, and so Col.
Pritchard of Lincoln was called to the
platform and made another eloquent
speech.
AT four o'clock the committee on
platform reported.
The platform is too long to be print
ed this week, but will appear next
week. 1t was not free silver. A mi
nority free silver report was made,
but this was voted down by 81 to 90.
Pedro Perea then presented the
name of t. b. Catron for the nominal
tion as delegate, Fred A. Anderson of
Rincon presented the name of II. a.
Finacal, and Pablo Trujillo of Socorro
presented the name of l.. Bradford
Prince.
The previous vote on the rejection
of the minority report OF 81 to %
showed how the convention stood and
that the nomination OF Catron was
only a question of the 1rst ballot.
Mr.. Finacal withdrew his name, as
did Gov. Prince, and Mr.. Catron's
nomination vas made by reclamation,
although there was a shower OF noes.
Mr.. Catron was then brought to tho
platform and addressed the convcn
tion.
Grant county was represented on
the territorial central committee by
r. Hudson and w. L. Jackson.
AGa meeting of the delegates from
Grant and Dona Ana counties A. L.
Christy was nominated as a candidate
for the council to represent the Two

mated as a candidate forthe house.

Roof Shingles.

There are said to be Michigan white
cedar shingles now doing good service
on roofs in that state that have been in
full exposure and wear for over rs
years It is thus seen that climate af-
fects the durability of shingles, and the
fact that white cedar is the natural
product Of Michigan and red cedar of
the Pacific coast is held to be proof that
the red cedar is naturally adapted for
use on the Pacific coast and the white
for use in such sections aS the middle
and northwestern states. A peculiar OBJ
lection is, brought against the red cedar
by some-namely. that there exists III
that wood an acid which is, in the eli
mate of certain sections, SO acted upon
by water as to corrode rapidly the nails
with which the shingles are fastened
on to roofs, the rust extending to the
wood around the nails and soon causing
a leaky roof, this action explaining the
holes so often to be seen around the
nails in red cedar roofs. Another point
offered for consideration in this, connec-
tion is the fact that single is ruined
by kiln drying and that no kiln dried
lumber can be regarded as of equal value
for outside work to that which is air
dried. New York Sun.

To do nothing is to serve the devil.
Idleness is worse than waste of time,
worse than simple stagnation; it is
wickedness. In a world filed with
want, to produce nothing is treason
against the laws of human obligation.
Few things demoralize and wither
men like idleness. In times of peace,
Hannibal kept his soldiers employed
in planting olive groves. He knew
that idleness would unfit them for
battle. Idleness is sure to breed vice.
Idlers tempt the devil. 'Birds that
sit are easily shot," Hillel, the great
Jewish scholar, took an idle student
to the valley of Hinnon, and showed
him the stagnant pool, full of Shiny
reptiles, and giving off offensive
odors. "There," said the teacher,
sis your heart and life. Come with
me to the mountains of Lebanon" he
continued, ''and let us stand by the
running stream, with it's clear waters
filed with good fish, and its banks
lined with verdure: you will then
see what your life may be If you will
cease to be idle and begin to be
active. Worlds Crisis.

Cold Douche In Schools.

! Milan, as becomes the most enterpris-
ing Of Italian cities, has introduced into
her schools an innovation which, in
southern climates at any rate, has much
to recommend it. This is the subsection
of the young pupils to the cold affusion,
with appropriate apparatus and under
the medical eye. The experiment. was
made for the first time the other day at
the communal school in the Via Giu-
seppe Glusti, in presence of civic repre-
sentatives, of the municipal medical adj
wiser, Dr. Uffreduzzi, and Of Dr. Sacchi,
one of the clinical staff of the Ospedale
Maggiore Forty boys, accommodated
in disrobing room fitted with benches,
were made to strip, and then, covered
only by their large drying towel, were
told off in relays of five to a contiguous
hall, where they were all made to take
the douche. Thereafter, provided with
soap, they cleansed themselves from head
to foot with fresh water and returned
to the disrobing room to dry and dress
themselves.
The mechanism OF the douche is SIM
pie. Five small reservoirs are suspended
in a row at a height of 215 yards from
the floor and furnished, laterally, with
two chains. Pulling that on the right,
the boy beneath is douched a colonna
Tin a volume of water), or, pulling that
on the left, he is douched pioggia Gin

on the lines of similar locales in bar
racks and may be heated in winter.
Personal ablution is one Of the minor
virtues in which modern Italy has fallen
behind her classical forerunner, and the
Milanese innovation Cor rather return to
antique usage) may be initiated with
advantage, practiced as it is under med
ical surveillance. Lancet. ]

One of George Laws Tricks.

After the late George Law was grad
uated from Columbia college his father
made him a driver on the Eighth av-
enue street scars in New York. One
night, after cold rain had chilled the
young driver to the marrow, a college
friend of his jumped Oh the car and
suggested that drink would be in
order. On Fifty fifth street, midway
between Eighth and Ninth avenues,
there was we'll known sporting resort
kept by an ex-boxing master of Column
bia. Mr.. Laws friend proposed that he
stop the car while they ran down the
street, hurriedly took a drink and re-
turned to the car. But Mr.. Law pre-
ferred to follow his own ideas in the
matter. Giving the horses a sudden
yank, he turned them sharply toward
Ninth avenue, and whipped them up
until, by quick effort, they lifted the
car off the track. Over the cobbles the
strong horses drew the car. to the
amazement of the conductor and the
passengers, and, rattling down through
the street, stopped in front Of the sa-
loon. Mr.. Law alighted with his friend.
and SO did the rest of the PASSENGERS.
After they had all taken a drink at the
drivers expense they returned to the
vehicle and the car again started its
noisy progress over the stones. When it
was again on the rails and the Journey
up Eighth avenue was resumed. it was
rather the worse for wear.-gan Fran

a Historic Whist Hand.

One Of the historic hands at whist
was once held by the duke of Cumber-
land-a hand which at first glance
seemed to be absolutely unbeatable, but
which did not take trick. The duke
held ace, king, queen and knave in one
plain suit; ace, king, queen i'll another !:
ace and king in the third while in
trumps he held king, knave, nine and
seven COT clubs). Yet with this perfectly
magnificent hand and the lead, leading
also quite correctly, he did not make
single trick.
This seems incredible, but the solu-
ton of the problem is readily seen by
the following facts: The four trumps
lying just over those held by the Duke
of Cum berland-viz, the ace, queen,
ten and eight-were on his left, with
nine diamonds, while on his right
were five small trumps He led trump,
which was taken CT his left, and a dia-
mond led-tru1nped on his right. An
other trump was led through him,
which was similarly taken, and another
diamond led, which was also trumpet
on his right.
Another trump led through the duke
caused his last trump but one to fall.
The last was then extracted by the
player on his left. The duke had now
no diamonds, that being the suit of
which he had held only the ace and
king. Then the diamonds on his left
were as good as trumps and made all
the remaining tricks. The duke is said
to have lost wager of $40, 900 in con-
nection with this hand. - Pearson's
Weekly.

EMtR OF BOkHlRA.
Bows Gracefully to tho Will of the Rus
sian Government.

f,oxvs Gracefully to tho Will of the Rus
sian Government. ~
The emir of Bokhara is one of the
most cautious and calculating of orien-
tails. who knows how to bow gracefully
to the inevitable and to take credit to
himself for not battering his own ven
cradle head against granite wall I
remember striking incident that char
acterizes his practical philosophy and
his Unborn sagacity.
Some time ago the finance minister,
M. Witte, determined to erect a custom
house in Bokhara and to levy duties on
all products and manufactures entering
into the country. 1t was generally be-
Iieyed that this innovation would dis
please the emir, who enormously sup
posed that the proceeds of the customs
would go to fill the Russian exchequer
The finance minister, therefore, called
upon him with a number of statistical
documents and official returns, a careful
study of which would he thought, con-
vince the emir of the advantages of the
measure, but that careful study never
took place. The minister began the con-
versation by asking whether he was
aware Of the nature of the proposed
change. The emir said he was ''It is
in your own interest, - remarked the
finance minister, "as you can convince
yourself from these documents. But
the oriental prince merely asked, lis
this being done with the knowledge and
consent of his majesty the czar?'' t'Un-
doubtedIy it u.s." replied NJ. Witte
ssThen his majestys will be DONE ex-
claimed the Asiatic potentate, and tho
conference came to a sudden and salts
factory end.
The emir has made strenuous and
persevering efforts to introduce Russian
civilization into his dominions and it
cannot be gainsaid that III this respect
his subjects of today compare most ia
vorab]y with their barbaric fathers.
This is one of the reasons why he is
liked and honored in Russia He is
very wealthy man, with simple tastes
and passionate love of that species of
shopping which in England is reserved
for the ladies. His food differs il no.
wise from that of his suit, and one of
the ever recurring dishes consists of
cake fried in the fat Of rams and known
in the vernacular as parvanitshi, which
would give Pantagruel himself q fit of
fatal indigestion. The e1nir knows the
cost Of every quality Of silk, calico,
chintz and cotton stuff in every city of
Russia. and he haggles for q long time
over q farthing in the price of the yard.
He never visits that country without
purchasing large quantities of these
stuffs, which he, in his capacity as
monarch, can take home duty free.
Then he sells them at a considerable
profit to his native merchants, who en-
joy 10 such privileges. No man is more
careful Of his money than the Prince of
Bokhara, and yet on occasion he can be
as generous as the most prodigal. Lon
