CURED OF USING SLANG.
His Servant Interpreted 1t Literally
So He Now TabOos Ii.

"Apropos to slang" said the man
from the Hub, you all know, for it is
a matter of history, that we, the people
of Boston, speak a purely classic Ian
guage and much fun is made at our
expense by would-be wits on that ac-
count. But when l lived West with my
family for a few years / acquired the
pernicious habit of using slang Strange
to say, l learned it from hearing my
own boys, who We're so captivated by
it that years of Harvard have not erad-
icated it"
Everybody looked sufficiently i'm
pressed and he resumed:
I'VE had a new hired girl, a child of
nature, if ever there was one. and nv
wife was much distressed by her an
tics. I did not interfere as it was an
unwritten law in the family that none
Of it's male members should rive or
ders to the help. And it was seldom
that l ever knew the name of the reign
ing goddess of the kitchen
But the boys were proof against the
simplicity of this one. They poked fun
at her, sent her on fools errands. and
explained things backward. until the
girls scant allowance of brains became
completely befuddled. SO / was not
surprised when | found her waiting in
the hall for me to ask me what time the
Z o'clock train left for Mills Village. l
knew the boys had been guying her.
81 looked at her simple, moon-like
face, her shock of wild hair. and quoting
the latest phrase I had heard on the
lips of my boys, / motioned her away.
Go and soak your head I remarked
when / came home that night my
wife informed me that the cellar was
flooded and the girl half-drowned. She
had taken me literally, but I assure
you, gentlemen, she has cured me of

A young son of one of the Harvard

ton in the lodge, while Colonel j. w.

Chancellor William Quinton.
The members of the Uniform Rank
were present in goodly number to ex-
tend a fraternal visit to their Briga-
dier-General. Their handsome uni
orms, military bearing and excellent
maneuvers produced very fine effect.
Grand Master McGlashan made an
Interesting address. Il understand -
he said, you render this tribute to the
head of an order you love, and l re-
ceive it in the same spirit. l have
never been more courteouSly received,
and in behalf of the order 1 thank you
for this reception. There is a feeling in
The order that when one gets to be
Grand Chancellor ne gets too far away
from the order to be of any use. I
never visit a lodge but what I try to
do something for the good of the order.
I know the reputation of grand old
Columbia Lodge, but you ought to have
the stars and stripes hung up above
the Chancellor Commanders station.
This is loyal order, born in the
days when the life of the nation was i'm
periled It was organized to harmonic
between sections of the country a
man with a spark Of disloyalty in his
heart has no business III the order Of
Knights of Pythias. A Grand Chan
cellor should come from the subordinate
lodge and should be thoroughly famil-
lar with its wants. All through the
country there is a marvellous uprising
in behalf of the Pythian banner.
Down in Gait they have taken in
thirty-two members this term, although
suffering severely from hard times.
Brother Voss of Triumph Lodge at San
Jose said if each member of his lodge
would bring in one member he would
guarantee to bring in fifty, and he has
already brought in twenty-four. In
flush times perhaps a man can afford
not to belong to this order, but he surely
cannot these times. He can't afford to
do without having loving hands around
him in his hours of distress. We have
gained 800 members the past six
months, and will reach membership Of

POLITICS In WASHINGTON.
THREE CONVENTIONS HOLDING
FORTH AT ELLENSBURG.
Efforts of Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans to Bring
About Fusion.

ELLENSBURG (Wash), Aug. 13.-
The Democratic Convention met to-day
at $50 and appointed a committee of
thirty-one members, one from each
county represented, to confer with the
PopuliSts and free silver Republicans
regarding fusion. The convention then
adjourned until ] p. m.
The Populists' State Convention was
called to order at 8 a. M. After an
hours wrangle over the manner of
casting the vote of an absent delegate,
the platform was taken up for discus
sion. The Populist Conference Commit
tee of thirty-two, appointed last night,
organized by electing Leigh Fl. Freeman
of Yakima Chairman.
The silver Republicans met at 10
o'clock and appointed a Conference
Committee of one from each county rep
resented and adjourned to meet at the
call of the Chairman.
The Conference Committees have been
in session all day. At 6 o'clock this
evening but little headway had been
made, though the leaders express them
selves as believing that a satisfactory
solution would be reached. Reason is
having sway and but for the Governor
ship no great length of time would be
required to adopt a plan of action.
There are twelve State offices to be
divided and four Presidential Electors
to be chosen. Owing to the peculiar con-
struction of the State law, there can be
but one set of Electors voted for by
fusionists, as no name can appear twice
on an official ballot.
While the conference bodies as a COM
mittee of the whole passed resolution
strictly forbidding members giving out
news or information relative to their
doings, yet much is known as to what
| transpired at to-day's sessions. The
Democrats asked the Governorship, and
in return were willing to concede to the
Populists half of the electoral ticket,
two Congressman and five other offices,
| leaving about four subordinate offices
| to the free silver Republicans. The Pop
ulists demanded the Gubernatorial
berth, all the electoral ticket and both
Congressman, and were willing that the
other two parties should divide the nine
remaining State offices as best suited
| themselves. However, this proposition
was coupled with a Well-defined intima-
| ton that they would accept the Govern
orship, half the Electors, one Congress-
man and one or two subordinate offices.
| The free silver Republicans modestly
request one Congressman, the Lieuten-
ant Governor, and the privilege of vot
ing for any electoral ticket.
In the convention to-day the Popu-
lists adopted platform asserting allie
glance to the Omaha and st. Louis plat
forms, and demanding a liberal exemp-
ton from taxation of personal proper
ty and improvements in or upon land.
This latter plank caused a spirited de-
bate, many contending that it was too
/! long a step in the direction of single
