CHOOSING DELEGATES.

In some of the southern states, not
ably Louisiana. high-jinks is the order
of the day in republican circles over
the election of delegates to the st.
Louis convention. At the New Orleans
republican convention there was a live
ly time over the election of one Demas
to be delegate-at-large. Demas was
wavering between two candidates,
Reed and Mckinley. He was originally
a Reed man, but was persuaded" to
be a McKinleyite. so he carried the con-
vention by the aid of the votes of both
the Reed and Mckinley men. He has
declared over his signature that he is
for Mckinley, and the Reed men are
furious at being deceived. But lively
as was the scene at the state conven-
ton, the scene at the district conven-
ton in which Mr.. Demas figured was
just as exciting, and McKinley's dele
gates were successful there too. Demas
undertook to declare motions carried
without the formality of a roll call, and
the effect is described by a southern
paper as follows:
This action of Demas started a row
that lasted fifteen minutes or more.
Cries and yells went up from a major
ity of those present. and Roby Green
made a rush for the table occupied by
the chairman. which he smashed to
pieces. Walter Cohen, of the Fourth
ward. struck Roby and reached for his
pistol, but his arm was caught by
someone before he could draw. In the
meantime Herman Blunt had rushed
for Demas. and these two statesmen
clinched. BY this time many OF those
present had closed in on the combat
ants. who were struggling in one cor
ner Of the room. The writing mass of
Africans finally went down in a heap.
After they had extricated themselves
the turmoil was kept up until they
were all put out by the sergeant-at-
arms and the doors locked"
This is what might properly be called
republican activity in the South.

John Corning, when superintendent
of the Central Pacific railway, on the

heard sermon remarkable for its length.

church.
HE is very fine, but has poor termi-
nal facilities, - answered the practical
railroad man.

subject of cane presentation and
stood while the spokesman of the do
nors made a speech that ran into an

preacher to an intimate friend who com

when the bishop of foreign diocese
was present. The young rector had pre-
pared a sermon in honor of his distln'

he tired every one except the bishop
who paid close attention. Part OF the
congregation left the church.

hadn't sense enough to stop when ht
had nothing left but bishop.

What Is
PURIFINE?

It is the new disinfectant which
has superseded all other disinfect-
ants, being q scientific compound,
having no odor, yet possessing the
qualities Of a powerful disinfectant.
The automatic distributor should
be placed in every house in Homo
lulu where odors and germs of dis
ease exist. They are placed free
of charge, taken care of and kept
working day and night for $1.Oo
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles. and ap-
peals to everyone of common sense.
The idea is this: The distributor
drops two drops a minute, day and
night. Foul odors are killed, yet
no disagreeable smell OF carbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
its place You don't know that a
powerful disinfectant is being used
If you judge by the lack of odor.
But it's doing the duty-doing it
well. Can we show you the Ideal

Brides and Perfum

"In the matter of perfume, said a
florist, Il have learned the importance
of what seems trivial thing by cater
ing to the tastes of brides. When wo-
man is going to be married she is strung
up to high pitch of nervous excite
ment, and an extra Whit of perfume
will sometimes cause her to faint.
Don't put il any flower with an odor, ;
is frequently the instruction get for a
bridal bouquet. This is the cause Of the
great demand for orchids, expensive as
they are, for brides flowers. Even the
subtle, hardly noticeable perfume of the
lilies Of the valley. which are charming
for a shower bouquet, is objected to by
some.
In Paris orchids, and orchids alone
are used for IA brides bouquet, but such
boqtiet as they make there, duplicated
here, would cost over 800. We general
ly manage to put in a small spray of or
ange blossoms in every brides bouquet,
unless expressly desired not to do so,
but the chief place in which orange
blossoms are used now is in the newspa-
per accounts of weddings. The reporters
conclude that brides ought to wear or
ange flowers if they don't. Bride roses
white and scentless, are popular for
bridal flowers, but lilies of the valley,
unobtrusive and delicate, slipping out of
their little green sheaths, with a few
orchids grouped with them, to give the
whole form and character, are in ex-
luisite taste. New York Tribune.
