You can't teach an old dog new tricks,
but You can depend on an old trickstcr
trying to carry his point by the same
old tricks. This is strikingly illustrated
by the brazen mposture whereby the
World Herald seeks to secure the an
nual advertising of liquor dealers and
druggists which the law requires to he
published in the newspaper having the
largest circulation in the county.

by the nsurrection. lie makes no effort to
disguise t5e facts. As to the termination of
the war by American intervention, he de-
clares that the United States have char

BIRD TRAGEDY.
Startling Accidentally Collides with and
 Kills Rock in Midair.

James Carter, of Masham, Yorks, Eng land, reports a happening to the London Field the like of which seldom or never was observed before. In over 25 vol umes of a well-known sportesmen's newspaper a similar incident has not been reported.
 The Field says that Ca starling, fly ing swiftly from it's nest, collided with a passing rock, and the starling's beak penetrated the head of the rock, causing instant death." Hawks, of course, often strike their game in midair and kill it, but in that case the collision is inten- tional. During the migrating periods birds are often killed and maimed by flying against unseen obstacles at night, as telegraph wires or high waterfalls. Many ducks and geese fly up stream into the Niagara falls every year, but the like of this incident is not recorded.

TUESDAY.

On Tuesday the convention was called to order at l2.60 p. m., and the silver men being assembled in strong force the fears of the previous evening were quickly put at rest.
 On Chairman Harrity of the National committee reporting the name of David B. Hill for temporary chairman storm was evoked, Clayton of Alabama almost immediately rising and substituting the name of Daniel of Virginia.
 This led to protracted discussion. each side stoutly advocating its own nominee, during which Waller of Con- uecticut suggested as compromise. that Hill be nominated for temporary chairman and Daniel for permanent chairman.
 The silver party feeling that they had the game in their own hands, de- clined to accede to this suggestion, whereupou Col. Fellows of New York appealed to them not to violate prece. dent and trample on the rights of the minority. During his speech he made several references to Cleveland, all of which were received with cheers.
 A roll of states having been called, the count resulted: For Daniel, 556; Hill, 349. Majority for Daniel. 2O7.
 Mir. Dauiel having been escorted to the platform delivered a long and telling speech, making several eompli- mentary references to his opponent. all of which were cheered, after which Senator Hill was called on to speak but declined.
 A postofiicc was establishe d on the floor of the convention, which is quito a new departure.

 The Credentials committee reported againit the admission of the gold del- egates from Michigan and Nebraska, and asked to be allowed further time to consider individual credentials of Michigan but that the Bryan delegates be seated.
 On rcassembling at five o'clock. after an adjournment of several hours, the Credentials committee reported to seat the four delegates at large from Michigan and to unseat four gold delegates. Thls led to furor of ex- citemeut and minority report was presented by John P. Crosby of Mas. sachusetts. Then followed an inde- scribable scene In which pandemopium reigned supreme for time.

Monday was warm day, politically, in Chicago. Against the wishes of a majority of the silver men ou the National committee. David E. Hill was selected for temporary chairman and the contested delegations from
 Nebraska and Michigan were decided in favor of the gold party. This was severe blow to the silverites, but a manifesto from the Populists to the effect that they would not indorse any candidate for president who did not sever his affiliations with the old political parties raised considerable hope in the breasts of the gold bugs aud put further damper on the spirits of the silverites. Moreover the failure of the silver party to arrive at any decision as to who should be nom- mated, gave rise to many rumors that the party was disorganized and in- spired further hope in the gold bugs.
