whispers, piling bank notes before Lin
Ham. How much for that toy?"
The eyes of the old man glitter. He
gathers up the heap in his claw-like
hands, and says, slowly:
This sum makes me have enough
with which to return to China and 1--we
there happy for the rest of my life.
After all, what does one more dead bar

plies.
The old Chinese goes to little -ecess

beaded screen, and comes back, mold

'You fly it like any other kite" he ex-
plains. When at it's full length, you
begin to call: Come down, butterfly!
A butterfly descends the cord and fiies

glides down the string and drops to

A little later the old Chinese puts in
to the hands of the younger man a pa
per box covered with shining roses, but
terfiies and birds. and says to him:

About Luncheon.

Luncheon is an important meal, and
should be carefully selected and pre-
pared, if tea is used the mistress should
know that it is perfectly fresh. At
least one hot dish should form part
Of the meal. 1t should not be heavy
one, but it should be nourishing. Om-
let's, poached eggs, hashed meats on
toast, croquettes or the like should be
served. A green salad or relish should
be on the table, and fruit, either
cooked or raw, SHOULD be eaten. Toast
is more palatable than bread. and
should therefore be used. Cake is an
unnecessary luxury, sufficient
amount of sugar being taken in the
healthier form OF fruit.

SLEEP IN THE DARK.
The Morning Light as Well as the Arti-
fetal Should Be Excluded.

fetal Should BE Excluded.
Whenever possible sleep should
always be taken in a darkened room
and with no light burning. The eyes
are much more rested in the dark and
the sight will probably last longer.
Those who sleep in a room with a
light burning will have to wear
glasses much sooner than those who
sleep in dark ROOM If the window
shade does not entirely exclude the
light of early morning the outer blinds
should be closed so the room will DO
in perfect darkness.
ioung infants should never have
their eyes subjected to a strong light
and should always be put to sleep in
the dark. In this way they become
accustomed to it, and when older
need never feel afraid in the dark.
In the sick room the light should
be screened from the patients eyes.
A CLEAN will keep many sensitive
persons awake for hours who would
sleep soundly in darkness.

THE HERALD'S SPECIAL.
JOINED By VARIOUS DELEGATIONS
EN- ROUTE.
A Canvass of the Passengers on the
Train shows That Bland is the
Favorite - Sentiment Against
Teller.
Especial to The Heraid.i


LARAMIE, Wyo., July 3.-The Utah,
Idaho, Nevada and California delega-
tons are all fastening to Chicago. The
Wyoming delegation will join us to-
morrow.
A. canvass of the delegates aboard
the train indicates that Bland has more
friends than any other candidate. Cali
fornia is inclined to give Senator
White a complimentary vote on
the first ballot, but most of the dele
gates are for Bland when it comes to
tes:.
A canvass of the entire train this
evening, everybody voting, resulted as
follows:
Bland, so; Teller so; White, California,
&c; Whitnel, 8; Boies, 6; Sibley, 4; Stew
enson, 2; Cannon. 8; Cleveland, Debs,
Blackburn, Morgan and Mclean, one
each. A canvass of the delegates to-
day failed to indicate a single vote for
Teller. On the contrary, every dele
gate declared positively that he would
not vote for Teller so long as there
was a single silver Democrat qualified
for the places in the field.
The Herald Special is attracting
great attention along the route, and
the demand for copies of todays paper
increases as the train progresses. The
car containing the California delega-
ton and The Herald car have been
placed next to each other and dele
gates are constantly engaged in dis
cussing the situation. The unanimous
desire is for all silver men to pull
together and assume control of the con-
yention from the start.

GOLDBUGs WITHER.

NEW YORK, July A dispatch to
the World from Baltimore says:
Three of the Maryland delegates at
large to the Chicago convention, all
gold men, have declined to serve In
letters of designations to Chairman Tai
bot of the state committee, each states
his unwillingness to be bound by a
free silver convention or to accept a
free silver candidate. They leave no
doubt of their intention to bolt Charles
G.. Crothers wired his resignation to-
night.
Marion de Kalb Smith, former con-
troller of the state, sent his letter to
Chairman Talbot today. These two
men are influential Democrats Smith,
moreover, is a strong German man.
Senator German realized long ago that
the delegation could not be held for
gold, and to avoid personal embarrass-
ment, not to say political danger, he
decided to remain at home.

GoLDBUG BANKERS.
They Make it Exceedingly Unp1eas-
ant For 5; Free silver Man.


ant For q Free Silver Man.
NEW YORK, July 3.-William P.
st. John, president of the Mercantile
National bank, has resigned. He has
been an outspoken advocate of the free
coinage of silver at variance with the
directors of the bank. The feeling in
banking circles is against the advo-
cacy of free silver by bank presidents,
and has resulted in making st. Johns
relations with his business colleagues
very unpleasant.
The matter was brought to crisis
today when a meeting of the board of
directors at the Mercantile National
bank, President St. John read letter
from one Of the directors opposing his
views and demanding that he should
not take such an active interest in free
silver, and not comply with the request
of the free silver mass meeting held in
this city last week, that he should at
tend the Democratic national conven-
ton and urge the Incorporation of a
16 to l plank in the platform of the
Democratic party.
The portion of the letter which was
particularly offensive to President st.
John is as follows:
Il have just heard you intend to
take part in the silver convention at
Chicago You are under Obligations
not to do so, is my belief. 1 admit
the position which you hold gives you
power before a convention, but you
ought not to go when your board is
against your views as we'll as all
money centers. l am your friend.
Finding that a majority of the di-
rectors of the bank thought his at
tending the convention as free silver
advocate would work harm to the
bank, Mr.. St John at once rendered his
resignation. He said in doing so that
he would not give up working for his
convictions at any cost. The board OF
directors accepted his resignation with
n ,,na,,innn11S exnreSSiOn of regret.

Al Ringwood of Sandy was arrested

temptation to further "gin up on

up the job in good shape, he attempted
in the fore part of the day. He black
ed his wife's eye and cut her mouth
with his fists in fearful shape. He
was locked up all night and when
called for trial refused to enter a. plea
without the advice of an attorney. The
justice of the peace bound him over
in the sum of 500 to keep the peace
till Monday. He could not get the
bonds and would have had to stay in
the sweatbox till Monday, but for the
appearance of his brother William

TELLERs' FRIENDS.
A Meeting at Which Several Matters
Are Discussed.

Are D1SCuSSeu.
CHICAGO, July 3.-The forces wnlcn
are operating in the interest OF Sen
ator Teller's nomination were augment
ed today by the arrival of Senator Fet-
tigrew. Congressman Hartman, Cen
eral A. J. Warner, of the Datfonal pl-
metallic union, and others. During the
day these gentlemen and the frlends
of the. Colorado Senator, including SEN
ators Dubois, Mantle and Stewart, and
Congressman Shafroth. called upon
various delegations. This had the et-
feet of increasing to considerable eX-
tent the discussion of the wisdom of
Mr.. Teller's nomination. The sugges-
ton of his name was received with
varying effect Many of the leading
delegates, especially his colleagues in
the senate accepted the suggestion as
altogether reasonable, though some
others did not receive it so favorably.
The Teller men disclaim any intention
to make an aggressive campaign in his
behalf, but consider that under the cir
cumstances there is no improperly in
directing attention to his availability,
Their principal points are that he is
better equipped for the Office of presi-
dent than any other of the men men
toned, and that he is the only man
who can secure the vote of the silver
Republicans and the Populists. They
claim to have received considerable en-
coura cement and Senator Dubois open
ly predicts Mr.. Teller's nomination
