The Galveston News this morning
printed twenty-five names OF delegates
in attendance. The most OF these who
are here are not remembered In con-
nectlon with either of the Democratic
state conventions held in the last six
years.
There IL no concealment Of the pur-
pose OF the meeting--to arrange to get
apart from what is classed as the com
munistlc element of the Democratic
party. The only issue has been wheth-
err the new organization should be per-
fected now or at Austin during the state
convention to elect delegates to the
national convention. one side wants to
make the fight from the jump. and the
other argues that this would shut on

1T was while we we're marching with
Sherman to the sea that d funny thing
happened that have remembered ever
since" said Robert +. Atkins the other
day. II was with the 10th New York
infantry. There were lot of fellows
in our army who were known as bum
mers, who always hung along behind,
robbing hen-roosts and taking every
thing they could lay their hands on,
and they made more havoc through
the country than all the rest of the
army put together. Whenever we
came upon the enemy, they would join
whatever regiment they happened to
be nearest to, and would fight like
tigers One of these bummers was a
queer sort Of Irishman. Sherman and
bis staff had stopped to rest, when they
saw the hummer hurrying along the
road in front of them. He was lead
ing along a pig, and he had the string
tied to his belt. Sherman shouted out
to him: Halt, there, hummer; where
cid you get that pig?' Jaw, general
said the hummer, it's one o the 25th
Michigan that tied that pig to me belt,
and l only just discovered it, While
the general was laughing the man con-
tinued to pull his pig along the road,
and was out Of hearing when the gen
eral called again. l don't suppose he,
would have been allowed to keep his
pig if the general hadn't laughed. r.

ONE HUNDRED AND TWO.
Ohio's Oldest Veteran Soldier Ending His
Days IN the IntIrmary.

Days m the Infirmary.
The 1O2d birthday Of Philip Hines oc-
Cured on Saturday, August 25, 1905.
He was born in Knox county, o., but has
been resident of Delaware county
for over half a century. His earlier life
was spent with the Indians, and among
them he sought various amusements
and taught them to play ball and run
foot races. When the war broke out
Philip joined the 18th regulars, U. S. A.,
and was ut that time 60 years old, and
was mustered out when the civil war
was over. In fact. he was not dis
charged until eight years ago, which
doubtless makes him the last veteran
discharged. He was home on fur
Tough when the treaty OF peace was
signed and the war drum ceased to beat.
lie was compelled to get his discharge
in order to draw funds from the county,
as he was no longer able to earn his own
bread. The county funds are only avail
able to soldiers honorably discharged.
Mr.. Hines is in good health and man of
remarkable physiognomy and shows
the characteristic qualities of his mind,
as well us his physical power, but has
stood the wear and worry of 1902 years
in the battle of home and country. Mr..
Hines, no longer able to support him
self by the stringency Of his own mus
cles, has become. together with his wife,
an inmate of our county infirmary,
where they are properly cared for.
They are being visited by many curious
people. Chicago Chronicle.

Butter
Talk

The fact that the quality of Butter
marketed today largely depends upon the grade Of
salt used, admits Of no argument
Two qualifications in Dairy Salt are indispen-
sable.
Ist. Absolute purity which ensures coed
flavor and keeping qualities.
I'd Quickness in dissolving, ensuring
perfect distribution with minimum
amount Of working.
The fact that all the prize butter made in
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont last year
was sailed with Worcester Salt and that 90 per
cent. of the creamery and dairy men in New Eng
land use nothing but Worcester, proves beyond
doubt that Worcester is the Standard Of Dairy
Salt, and embodies the above indispensable quail
fications.

RAISING A COMPANY.
Some Early Experiences Of the Ways Of
the Soldier.

oOho marry experiences Ok tue WayD 01
the Soldier.
To please the old vets l agreed to
write up some Of the everyday history
Of Company K, Fourth Pennsylvania
cavalry. Every company in a regiment
has its own little community, always,
to talk and chat; the other companies
are merely spectators, not participants.
The whole company is kind Of family,
and an offense committed against one
member is an offense committed against
all. So it went. A company relation
was little closer than regimental, q
regimental a little closer than brigaae,
and SO on ad infinitum.
We were enlisted in Irwin township,
near the village Of Mechanicsville. It
was near the list Of October, 1861, that
Capt. Taylor spoke in the village and
called upon the young men SO eloquent
ly and presented the necessity of our
enlistment, that we signed the agree
ment to go to the seat Of war in a body
over so persons from one small town
ship. After several days weefound our
selves bound for Pittsburgh on small
steamer.
We were in fine spirits. 1t was not
supposed we would have much fighting
to do, and if it did require fighting three
to six months would clean out the whole
business, ANYWAY.
We had several fathers and sons in
our company. Mr.. Lambert Seu was
over so years of age, and X. Jones was
SO also. Members ranged from II to 81
years.
We reached Pittsburgh, were Toasted
by the citizens, after which we boarded
the cars for Harrisburg, where we
stayed for few days. Here we were
examined by United States army sur
geon.
A certain Hungarian cavalry general
of the revolution of AS was our drill
master. To keep us in good heart he
made us a proposition which we thought
was all on our side-that he would
allow any six Of US to chop his head off
if we could do it. So six of us stepped
out, and the general put his back
against the old army barracks. We
sailed in to kill our man. Every time
any or all of us would strike to cut If
his head our sabers would fly out of our
hands, and it would have been no
trouble at all for the general to cut each
one of us into mincemeat in very
short time. He made the cavalry mule
nays so fast you could not see his saber
whirl in the air at all. Right there we
concluded that it would be good rebel
or two, or even three of them, that
would ever cut our heads off, if we could
get good drill from Uncle Sam in
cavalry tactics before we got into figh,
We got the drill all right, but it was
mostly on foot.
After stay Of perhaps week we
were taken to Washington and welt
into Camp Campbell, on Meridian hill.
Here we were initiated into Hardes's
cavalry tatics with a vigor. But this
is enough for the time being, SO | will

ENOCH UP A. TREE.

A Nebraska Woman Who Has No Liking
for Romantic Tennysonian Outcomes.
A paper in western Nebraska con-
tains the outline of story that should
be slung into undying verse by a poet
as good as the author of "Enoch
Arden" Some years ago, in the town
where the paper is published, there
lived a man who had a wife and daugh-
ter. He seemed prosperous, and his
credit was good for anything he de-
sired. f's' .f.
One fine starlight night he disap-
peared, taking with him nearly every
thing that wasn't nailed down. He
had made about every man in town a
creditor, and when he went away the
people betook themselves into outer
darkness for awhile and walled and
gnashed their teeth.
The wife and daughter were treated
the same as the rest. They found
themselves destitute. The fiend in hui
man form who had so long oficiated as
husband and father had left them not
dollar. The lady and her daughter
were, of course, looked coldly upon for
awhile, as people believed them to be
in collusion with the departed. But
they were not depressed by this. They
went manfully to work like little hero
ines in play; the mother did sewing,
and the daughter did whatever she
could get to do. They prospered, as
they deserved to prosper. The older
heroine in time established millinery
store which captured all the trade,
while the younger became principal of
the schools They had money in the
bank, and could eat ice cream when
ever they wanted to.
The other day seedy tramp called
at the back door of a lady's residence
and asked for q drink and something
to eat The good woman looked at
him intently, and recognized her hus-
band. And now the really beautiful
part of this story comes in. Did the
lady kill the fatted calf for the prodi-
gal and bid him welcome and forgive
the past? Not to any great extent.
She called the family dog, large
creature with a penchant for human
remains, and no man ever climbed q
tree quicker than did the erring hus-
band.

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 30.-With the
year Just closed Portland can feel fairly
we'll satisfied. A halt in the panic of 1893
was called and start taken in an onward
and prosperous direction. In common
with the whole country Portland suffered
from the monetary troubles that began in
1898 and extended into and through 1894.
This. combined with the exception ally low
price of cereals, of which this country is
so heavy producer, tested the financial
resources CT the city. That they stood the
test without serious loss will give an idea
of their stability.
At the annual meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce. held January %, the secre-
tary, Frank Motter, read his annual re-
port, from which the following extracts
are taken as showing the condition of gem
eral business:
Speaking of the business of the year just
passed the secretary says: "a careful esti
mate of the volume of business during the
year 1895 will foot up S105, 900, 600, and the
tendency is for the better.

which employ over one million capital

Union special from Port Townsend an
nounces that the mammoth lumbe trust
of the coast, known as the "Central Lum-
Der Company of California" went into
effect last night. 1t represents com mbined
capital of $70,0O0.000 and includes in its
membership every lumber-miil and all
the wholesale and retail dealers, as well
as shipowners, of the coast. The first
move will be an advance of 81 per thou

Prominent lumber men of Tacoma say
they have been losing money for three
years through competition with each other,
and the combination is for the purpose of
regulating the trade and stopping ruinous
competition. They claim that the Port

nation has gone into effect is premature,
but acknowledge that all arrangements
have been completed and official announce

WILL NOT BE HANGED.
hree-fIngered Charley to Pass the Re-
mafnder of His Days at San
0Hanfin

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Feb. q
Three-fingered Charley, the Alaska Indian
convicted of murder and sentenced
to be hanged on the Sd inst, will not
be executed. The sentence, under in
structions from the Department of Justice,
has been commuted to life Imprisonment,
and he will end his days in San Quentin.
1t is believed that the committing re-
suited from the threats MADE at the time
OF sentence by the Indians, who vowed to
lnaugurate relentless and discriminating
warfare against all white persons passing
through the Kake territory to the rich
Yukon fields. The report caused a great
sensation throughout Alaska, and there
was talk at one time of calling on United
States troops in case the sentence IVES
carried out.
Sentiment in Alaska for the move for
clemency is divided some holding that it
will save many lives, while others assert
that as consequence the notorious Kake
tribe will become even more bold in defy
ing the laws.
The Indian was convicted of the cold
blooded murder of white trader, who re-
turned into the territory for the purpose
of securing pelts in exchange for goods.
