BIG LEAGUE MEETING.
A Large Attendance of Republicans
Expected Here Wednesday,
Fight for President.

Secretary c. r. Gault says he has
every reason to believe that there viii
be 1900 delegates present at the state
meeting of the Republican league next
Wednesday. Last year there We're 1000
delegates present.
There is very little for the league to
do this year, the central feature being
the address of Congressman GrOsvenor
of Ohio, who Will arrive Tuesday even
ing. Aside from that the league has
only to elect officers and delegates to
the national convention 1t is general
~ thought that there will be no reso-
lutions adopted.
The big fight viii be on the election
Of president. 1t is understood that
q. f. Caldwell of Lawrence is the can
didate of the Morrill, faction and it is
also understood that the opposing
forces viii unite on some one for the
purpose of defeating the administration
candidate The man upon whom the
opposition viii probably unite is Ed H.
Madison of Dodge City. There are sew
eral other candidates, but it is not
thought they viii cut much figure
No one viii be indOrsed for governor
directly. but the test will come on the
election of a president and il viii vir-
Nearly all the prominent politicians in
the state viii be present and there viii
be more political wire pulling than any
place outside of the state conventions

meeting one of the most interesting
ever held and viii have much to do
with the selection of delegates in the
weeks following the convention.

Tho Indians of Guiana Build Beyond the
Reach of Floods.
Interest in the Guiana country naturally
centers about the most fertile region, that
which commands the mouth of its great
waterway. AS you approach the Orinoco
from the gulf of Paria you still see that
picturesque sight to which Humboldt re-
fers in his travels, "innumerable fires in
the tall palm trees, y the dwelling places
of the peaceful Guaraunos.
The legend that this strange tribe of In
dians, once the masters of the Orinoco,
live in trees the entire year results from
the great annual rise of the Orlnoco. AT
Ciudad Bolivar, 800 miles up this amounts
sometimes in "a contracted place to 90 feet.
On the broader delta it is always sufficient
to cover islands and low ground. There
fore the inhabitants very wisely build their
houses well above the ground. For this
purpose four tall palm trees are selected,
and the crosspieces which form the foun-
dation for the houses are lashed TO the
main support by pieces of Il tough vine in
digenous TO the delta Upon these is laid
the flooring, and then the sides and roof
are thatchcd with large palm leaves, to
which the Indians have given the poetic
name of 'feather of the sun"
There are many advantages which this
particular palm leaf possesses over others
of the same family, the principal one be-
ing it's similarity to asbestus in the quality
of resisting fire. In the location of his
house the Guarauno takes another wise
precaution in building, and it is one that
carries with it lesson for the government
under whose sovereignty he liyes.-W

-Four Year Law

Malcolm Smith Is the name un-
der which he is referred to in
the official documents bearing upon his
case. but that is not his real nama.
What it is, the blue-eyed blonde haired
-year-old baby who was yesterday
afternoon a bone of contention before
Judge York in the superior court Will
probably never know. and it is per-
haps best that this will in the end prove
to be the case. For there are whisper
ings that the child was born out oe
wedlock. that his parents are among the
swellest of the swell of the people Of
San Diego, and that. being now married.
they are ashamed of their indiscretion
which brought their baby into life. None
of these things are made to appear as
a matter of record in the trial before
Judge York. But the attorneys on both
sides. as well as some of the Witnesses
hold their several breaths when discuss
ing the matter fearful lest the sin of the
father and the mother may really be
visited upon their heads and thus hurt
their social standing"
The court proceedings are in the ma
ture of an attempt by Mrs. Catherine
Smith, the head of a lying-in hospital, to
obtain possession by sort of habeas COR
pus of little Malcolm Smith, who is at
present in the custody of a Mrs.
Dobbins. The boy was born in
Mrs. Smiths house. and had always
been in her custody up to few weeks
ago, when, 1t is alleged, Mrs. Dobbins
borrowed" him and she now refuses to
return him.
Mrs. Smith in court yesterday said
that she loved the baby as she would If
he were her own flesh and blood. and she
means. If he is awarded to her. to edu-
cate and bring him up properly The
story in full relating how he came into
her possession and how she lost control
of him, was related in The Herald on
Wednesday. August 5th. The account
then printed was yesterday filed by Mrs
Dobbins' attorneys as an exhibit in the
case.
The Dobbinses and the Smiths were
yesterday out in force in court, each
making hard struggle to obtain custo-
dy of the boy. Most of the witnesses on
both sides were of the weaker sex. Most
of the evidence introduced yesterday
tended to establish the character of Mrs.
Smith as proper person to have Gus
tody of the child. The full examination
of the matter will be concluded today.
Mercenary motives are alleged upon
both sides as the real motive for seeking
to obtain control of the boy.

Headed or Future Scandals.

A somewhat domineering judge who
formerly held an appointment in small
colony was sole occupant of the bench, SC
he carried everything his own way. One
day member of the local bar disputed his
ruling upon a certain point and appealed
to printed authority in support Of his po-
sition, and the judges account of the in
cident, as given by himself, is said to be
this:
Would you believe it, one of my own
bar had the i1npertinence to tell me that
he was right and was wrong, and he ap-
pealed to a lawbook to support him, his
own book and the only one in the colony"
"And what did you do:" was the natural
question. "What did do?" was the indig-
nant answer. 'There was only one thing
20 do. I borrowed the book from him and
lost it, so that we shall hear no more scan
dal of that kind. ''-Pittsburg Dispatch

Sueckled Roses.

The art of Horticulture has never yet
solved the problem Of how nature can be
made to produce roses having spots and
speckles. But. having done her work in
the ordinary way, science may step in and
effect by chemical means what she dis
dains Procure flower nearly blown and
of rich red color. Touch it's petals re-
peatedly with q glass stirrer that has been
dipped in an ethereal solution of ammonia.
Wherever the stirrer deposits spot of am
monia the petal will change to bright
blue. If solution in water of sulphurous
acid be employed, white spots will be OBJ
tained. Should the entire flower be i'm
mersed in the ammoniacal solution, the
phenomenon of blue rose results, while
If plunged into the sulphurous acid a
waxy white flower is obtained. Having
produced as many spcckles on the rose as
desired, it is well to wash carefully the
flower in pure water in order to remove
the superhuous chemical. If this precau-
tion be taken, it will not fade more rapid
ly than under ordinary circumstances. II
is, of course, possible to conduct the exper.
iment while the rose is still on the parent
tree.-Brooklyn Citizen.
