National Convention of Republican
League Clubs.
The convention of the National League
of Republican Clubs met in Exposition
Hall, Milwaukee. The attendance of del
egates ut the opening session was not so
large rs expected, but more came in dur
ing the day and evening. There was also
a slight feeling of disappointment at the
absence of certain speakers of national
reputation, whom the National Committee
had declined to send, OH the ground that
they were needed elsewhere. Ex-senator
ingalls, Of Kansas was asked to deliver
an address, but could not attend, nor was
Senator Allison able to be present. The
big hall in the Exposition Building was
Handsomely decorated with the national
colors. The background was yellow,
while peering out from among the flags
were large designs Of twenty-dollar gold
pieces. There were only few spectators
in the galleries. The delegates were slow
in arriving, and it was an hour after the
appointed time when they began to take
their seats.

Mayor Ranscheuberger, who, in behalf
Of the city, welcomed the visiting dele

was with pleasure that, as chief executive
of the city, he extended cordial welcome
to Milwaukee. He extended the freedom
of the city, and said that he had the latch
key with him. He paid high compliment
to the large delegations present, and said
that the organization showed that there
was great activity all along the line.
When he finished the delegates cheered
him and gave u rousing cheer for the city

Perpetual Motion?

Perpetual motion has been the dream
of the inventor almost ever since the
first invention of any kind was per-
fected. Pliny says that in his time
there were machines which the inven-
tors claimed would work, without stop
ping, for an indefinite length of time,
and in the patent Office of every gov
ernment of the world there are hun
dreds of devices for securing this end.
One authority states that in the patent
Office at Washington there are over
1000 such APPLIANCES, for each of which
the inventor hoped success. The per-
petual motion machines, however, have
never succeeded, and never will until
men succeed in overcoming friction.
the inertia Of matter and gravitation
and also in finding material that will
never wear out.

Sawdust Town's Fate.
Another sawdust town has gone where

Mich, the oldest settlement on Lake Su-
perior between the 500 and Bayfield,, is
no more, and its 1900 homeless and hun
cry inhabitants are depending for food
and shelter upon charity.
The story of its destruction in few
brief hours Tuesday afternoon is pitifully
like the stories from score of other lum-
berfng towns in the Northwest which have
been wiped from the earth in a few hours.
Smoldering forest fires had burned in the
swamp south of the Diamond Match
Company's big mills for two weeks. At
noon the wind freshened. At / the FIRST
mill caught fire. The automatic sprink-
lcrs deluged the whole interior with water,
but the gale from the southwest drove the
flames into the lumber along the river,
where 10000 900 feet of pine lumber was
stacked in piles as high as three-stoty
building. Then It was a race for life. So
quickly did the flames spread that the fire.

paratus and flee for their lives. Blazing
shingles and 6rebrands were carried hun
dreis of feet high by the irresistible cur
rent OF hot air, to fall quarter and half
mile farther on and fire the buildings that
they alighted upon. The people fled in all
directions, and families were divided. BY
3 O'Clock the destruction of the village
was complete, and not soul remained in
the town proper. Prior to abandoning his
post at the railway depot the operator had
sent out an appeal for aid. The relief
train managed to get within about mile
of the doomed village. The train picked
up all the people found beside the track
and took them to Rockland, where they

As soon as daylight came the train

citizens. loaded into box car all the
Clothing and provisions that could be col
lected and set out for Ontonagon.
The work of relief was begun imme-
diateiy. Word was received by the rail-
way officials at Houghton that cars of
supplies including tents and lumber for
Temporary sheds We're already on the way
from Marinette, Green Bay, Iron Noun

There is little hope that the town will
ever recover from the blow. The timber

and the Diamond Match Companycan save
thousands of dollars by building its mills
closer to its untouched forests. The cop

abandoned years ago, the match COM

The village will. of course, be rebuilt,
but there is little likelihood of It's being

Quaker Cats Eat Oysters.

Philadelphia cats are peculiar. AS a
class they show great versatility and a
good deal of gastronomic enthusiasm.
There are cats in Philadelphia which
realize that the only way for an epi-
cure to really enjoy an oyster is to eat
it raw and off the half shell. They
haunt a certain fish market and seem
to pass their lives in an endeavor to pro-
vide themselves with well-opened BIZ
valves. They are not more enthusias-
tic in their devotion to oysters than an
other Philadelphia cat, pretty Maltese.
that has learned just at what hour oys-
ters are delivered weekly at it's master'y

AS the oyster-eating Maltese stands
in the good graces of the oysterman and
the cook, 1t is enabled once a week TO
indulge its fancy for bivalves. 1t will
eat q dozen raw oysters with an enthu-
siasm worthy of the very best oysters
in the market.

small boat with two masts and an Ameri-

to do. Finally he pulled away for the

The French Government is rapidly per-

and in this connection has asked the
State Department for the name of the
Commissioner General who will repre-

information available as to the participa-

retary Rockhill has replied that the Com
missioner General has not been named,
as the American Congress took no steps
at its recent session to provide for Ameri-
can representation at the exposition. He
expressed the belief, however, that the
approaching session of Congress will
bring about an acceptance of the invita-
