the vote was so close that first one and
then the other was in the lead until
the call of the l19 counties was finish
ed. And then the Bradley majority
was found to be only ninety-one,
which was so insignificant, consider
ing the fact that the fight by the Nc
Kinley men was in the enemy's own
territory, that little room was left for
hurrahs.
The vote for Temporary Chairman
was as follows:
Morrow ................ 1888
Denny ................ ..14Z
The Mckinley delegates made no
fight for the permanent organization,
allowing Mr.. Charles Blanford, Speak
er of the last Kentucky House of
Representatives, to berome the per-
manent chairman without opposition.
They were saving themselves for
one great big effort when it came
down to the real issue-the election
of delegates from the State-a large,
and the instructions.
Twice during the afternoon and
evening the police were called in to
quell the rioting, which equaled the
scenes in the last General Assembly.
The Mckinley delegates won a VIC
tory before the Committee on Creden-
tiAIs. Though it stood eight to five
i favor Of Bradley, they secured a
compromise on the contests and got
about half the votes contested. When
it Was remembered that there are
nearly 200 delegates in the conven-
ticn this was a dangerous concession,
for it may not be "a difficult matter
to change ninety one out of such a
large humber
The Committee on Resolutions or
ganizod and adjourned until this
morning, thus delayed the work of
the convention. The Mckinley man
ayers took this as a pretext and Sc
cured an ad o lrnmeut of the conven-
tion,uutil 9 o clock this morning.
The district delegates stand u for
Bradley and 10 for Mckinley. If
Bradley succeeds in capturing the
delegates at large, as he seems likely
to do, he will have Is out of 26, and
unit rule instruction could be used
for all it was worth.

How siddOns Became an Actress


Here says the New York Times. is an
anecdote, said to have been related by Mrs.
Scott-siddons herself many years ago,
when a friend asked what had impelled
her to go upon the stage. In the early six
ties she was living with her mother, the
widow of an Indian officer, in a seaside
village. They were very poor, their lodg-
ings were more than humble, and the girl
was anxiously wondering how she could
contribute to the support of the little fam
lily. The problem was a hard one, for in
those days the sphere" of women was
smaller than now, and their opportunities
to make money were not numerous. Mean
while her immediate duty was to try to
make the shabby rooms pleasant and
homelike. While engaged in this task she
discovered that an old chiffonier which
stood in one corner of the sitting room had
only three legs. The missing fourth mem
Der had been replaced by a crumpled-up
newspaper. which, judging from it's dusty
condition, had not been disturbed for many
years. Mary Siddons removed the paper
found that 1t was very old copy of the
Annual Register, and on glancing over il
found a long article detailing the triumph
of her Observation-Disclosures in some long
forgotten play. The girl decided that this
was a leading" and at once resolved to
seek fame and fortune as an actress. Be
ing beautiful and intelligent, she soon OBJ
tanned a chance to test her histrionic abil-
tiles, aud won enough OF success to raise
her mother and herself to what, compared
with their previous state, seemed almost
like wealth. -

children's quaint sayings.

little boy, according to the London
Chronicle. noting the solemnity of people
in church, and connecting it with the
promised joys of future state, remarked:

We like that boy, also the infant daughter
of DR.. Hamilton of Regent Square church
who prayed: "Oh. Lord, open pussy's eyes
and make her tail grow" Here is an even
prettier anecdote OF children's prayer: A
little girl told a friend who was visiting
her father that her brothers set traps to
catch the birds. He asked her what she
did. She replied:-1 prayed that the traps
might not catch the BIRDS Anything
else? Yes she said, I then prayed that
God would prevent the birds getting into
the traps and as if to illustrate the doc
trine of faith and works, 1 went and
kicked the traps all to pieces" Another
youngster reminded the Deity on one oc-
casion that his petition had not been at
tended to-" and requested that it might
not be forgotten in future. The same
child, offended by his governess, was dis
covered burying a piece of paper in the
garden. 1t proved to be a request to the
devil to take the governess below. And
children can sometimes preach strange
sermons as well as invent strange pray
ers. At the age of a child who sub
sequently became an eminent minister and
professor at college," took for his text:
Learn to do evil cease to do well" and
at the same age Mr.. Ruskin, we are told,
began a sermon with the inspiring words:
BE dood, people, be dood.'' If our young
barbarians all at play are not more "spir-

Mr.. Cramp. the Philadelphia shipbuild-
err should be written in history as the
great friend and patron of the cornstalk.
He is authority for the statement that
the cornstalks which farmers now throw
away as useless can be made to yield an
income OF s2OO,OOO.OOO a year on an acreage
of 100000 acres. He bases his assertion
on the results of experiments made by
chemists in his employ. These men have
been working for two years upon the
theory that the constituent elements of
the cornstalk could be utilized for making
cellulose with which to pack the sides of
ships, and also into a form of smokeless
gunpowder. Mr. Cramp now declares that
they have discovered methods for obtain
ing the results sought. and have also
found incidentally that the stalks can be
converted into variety of other valuable
articles of use, including alcohol, mat
tings, carpets, paper and a food for cat
tie superior to anything now in the mar
kets. He explains that plants for the pro-
duction of all of these things from the
cornstalk can be erected for SIPS 600 each,
and that plant of the size he has in
mind would consume all of the stalks
within a radius of twenty-five miles in
any of the corn regions of the country.
Mr.. Cramp is a hard headed business
man, and would not make any such as
sertions if they We're not we'll founded. 1t
is possible that the hitherto despised corn

while since cotton seed was a waste pro-
duct; now it is worth millions per year.

a Rnh Policy.

Had Policy.
( Secretary Carlisle. in his annual report
sent TO congress yesterday, declares that
the policy which Imposes upon the gov
/ eminent the burden of furnishing gold at
public expense to all who may demand it
for use or boarding at home, or for export
TO other countries, cannot be justified upon
any ground of expediency or sound inan-
cial principle"
There is not fnancier of prominence
in the country who win not admit the cor
rectness of this statement, and yet for po-
litical and other reasons congress will not
authorize the cancellation of the green
backs and treasury notes. There are some
who contend that it would increase the in
terest burden of the country to issue bonds
for greenbacks and treasury notes. and
others insist that to call in the greenbacks
and treasury notes would cause a great
contraction in the currency. 1t has been
shown by the controller of the treasury
that the greenbacks and treasury notes
have already cost the government vast
amount of money-much more, probably
than the same amount of bonds bearing
a low rate of interest would have cost
and it is not improbable that they will
cost it a great deal more, If they are con-
tnued in circulation. Because there has
been a suspension of gold Withdrawals
during the last few months it doesn't fol-
low that this condition of affairs will con-
tinue to exist. The Withdrawing of gold
should begin there would be the same kind
Of business and financial disturbances as
marked the withdrawal of gold some
months ago.
To quiet apprehensions of financial dis
aster and restore confidence. the treasury
at great expense would have to bring gold
from abroad 10 meet the demand upon It,
The secretary says, and, as it seems to
US, very truly, that it is not a proper func-
ton of the government to issue and re-
deem circulating notes. The last bond is
sue was practically for the purpose of
providing paper money for the transac-
ton of business,
The secretary points out that the retire.
ment Of the greenbacks and treasury notes
could be so managed as to prevent any
contraction of the currency. Thus both
of the objections to the retirement of the
notes are shown to have no real basis of
truth.
There is one statement the secretary
makes which is pretty certain to attract
wide attention. 1t is that in his opinion
the government hasn't the constitu-
tional power to make its promises legal
tender in payment of private debts. If it
has no such power it is apparent that it
ought, at once, call in the paper dollars
and cancel them.
The chief strength of the greenbacks
and treasury notes is the well settled be-
lief among the people that the government
has the right to make its paper dollars
legal tender. If it were established that
it has no such right people might refuse
to take the paper dollars. In that event,
the feeling against retiring them would
be changed into one in favor of retiring
them, and the problem of how to get rid
of the governments promises to pay would
be solved

SHAKERS AND DOCTORS
TALK TOGETHER,

In his able work entitled Longevity
published a few years ago, DR.. John Gard
ner, of England predicts that vegetable
agent will yet be found that shall so re-
tard those changes that bring about old
age as to prolong human life much beyond
its present limit.
Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse pro-
duced by this thought, many eminent ply
sicians have called from time to time Upon
the Shakers of Mt. Lebanon to inquire of
them concerning the secrets of medicinal
plants, in which these sincere, simple
minded and God-fearing people are known
men.
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned, and in return received from
their visitors much valuable information
about disease; which they at once made
practical use Of The most important
point was that If a genuine and certain
remedy could be found for Indigestion and
dyspepsia, and the ailments growing out
OF II. a long step would be taken in the
right direction. Old age, said these physi-
clans, begins in a failure of the digestion.
and SO do most diseases at any and all
PERIODS of life. The result of these consul
tatlonS was the discovery by the Shakers
Of the desired specific, made wholly from
herbs, and now known as the Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial. Its action is magical and
worthy of its origin.
Where there is distress after eating,
heartburn, sick headache. bad taste in the
mouth, biliousneSS, weakness and Weari-
ness, cold hands and feet, aversion to
food, nervousness, or any other SYMPTOM
of dyspepsia, the Cordial will prove its Gu
rative virtues. Behind 1t is the reputa-
ton of people who have never defraud-
ed or deceived their fellow men,
In order to test whether this remedy is
adapted to your case, at practically no
cost, you may procure trial bottle for ten
cents OF almost any druggist.

Letter she DID zoe write.

Margaret Z. Sangster. in Christian In
telligencer.
1t was never set down in black and white,
The loving letter she did not write;
She thought it out as she baked the
bread,
AS she mended the stockings ana mace
the bed;
She wove the beautiful sentences through
The mornings work that was hers to do;
But it never was written with ink and pen,
For the boys came home from school, and
then
She hadn't a chance in black and white
To scribble the letter she did not write.
1t never was dropped in the corner box
Which the faithful postman's key unlocks;
it never was even begun, you see,
Though it throbbed with true hearts
The PARKWAY mother, the friend beloved.
The knsman dear, whom 1t must have
moved
Were touching her hand with tender clasp,
Were holding her heart in insstent grasp,
But it never was sent on its blessed flight,
The dream of the letter she did not write.
She gave up trying the thing at last,
When the busy day was almost past,
Filled with the measure from sun to sun.
OF the womans work which is never donei
The duties sacred, which yet seem slight,
The little wrongs which must be set right.
She had found her paper and taken her
seat,
When the baby awakened. Hush, my
sweetr'
And Freddy brought her puzzlng sum,
And Teddy deafened her with his drum;
No wonder it faded quite out of sight,
The dear home letter she meant to write.
But, yet, all. yet! were the waves of air
Not stirred by her tender, wordless
prayer?
And did not her loving heart full fain,
Send out its cry TO her own and pain
OF longing bring in a subtle way
A pleasure deep in the waning day,
When somehow she felt that an answer
bright
Had come to the letter she did not write?
