At Sedalia April 10th.
THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CEN
TRIAL COMMITTEE LOCATES
THE NEXT DELEGATE
CONVENTION.
Precedent Will be Followed In the Sc
lection Of Delegates-Harmonlou
Action Certain-Held Two Sc
cret and Three Open
Sessions.

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo, Jan. 25.-
April 10 next the Missouri Democratic
State Convention will meet at Sedalia
to elect delegates to the National Con-
vention. The representation in the
convention will be the same as for the
Democratic Convention in 1894, and
the manner of selecting delegates will
be the same as in all former conven-
tions at which delegates to the Nation
al Convention we're chosen.
In the resolutions adopted by the
committee the various county com
mittees throughout the State are re-
quested to call no County Conven-
tons prior to the National Convention
for final settlement.
The State organization was discuss
ed before the committee in executive
session and approved. 1t will begin
with the election of delegates to the
State Convention, April l, at which
time the State Committee suggests
that each county elect a new Central
Committee.
Before the committee could trans
act this simple business it held two
secret and three open sessions. In
cidentally, the g Committeeman
chosen at Pertle Springs decided by
their votes aud through the positive
statements of their leaders that the
! spirit of the resolutions which were
adopted August 6 was binding, but
| that the letter of the resolution was
| subject to the amendment.
The call for a convention April Is
was the wish of the people, declared
| the committeeman.
Nobody from st. Louis asked for The
convention. st. Louis, with the pres
| tige of a famous national victory, and
| the Endorsement of 535 delegates as
| sembled last August at Pertle Springs
=! received a grand total of three votes
| on the first ballot and II on the Sec
ond.
There was one issue presented to
| the committee which babe fair to
make trouble. 1t divided the old
members from the new and eau sed 81
loyal Democrats to arise in turn and
| begin their remarks with, 81 am as
good a Democrat as any man or this
floor"
In order that the money question
! and others might be thoroughly
discussed, and no snap Judgment tax
| en-, Chairman Maffitt was opposed to
issuing the call for the convention or
announcing the basis of representa-
| ton until March Is. After the time
and place had been settled the basis
| of representation was fixed. The fol-
lowing resolution, offered by Mr.
Benton, and adopted, disposed of this
business:
Resolued, That the basis of repre-
s~entation to the Sedalia convention be
one delegate for every 500 or fraction
of $50 or more votes cast in each rep
resentative district of the State outside
of the city OF st. Louis, and in each
ward in st. Louis for the Democratic
electors in 1892. The manner and
method of selecting delegates to be
determined by the county committees
in the several counties of the State.
Under this basis of representation
there will be 535 delegates in the con-
vention and the counties will be rep
resented as in the last State conven-
| ton, held in 1894.

Fifty-seyen Miners Killed.

CARDIFF, WALES, Jan. 27.-An ex-
plosion of fire damp took place in a
colliery at Taylorstown, near this
place, this morning. The shafts were
shattered and the whole town was
shaken by the tremendous concnssion,
causing a scene of wild excitement.
F~ifty-seven miners were below the
surface when the explosion occurred.
Rescue parties at once hurried to the
scene, but their work was very dang
erous, owing to the fact that the pit
was on fire. Fifteen bodies were re-
covered this afternoon and forty-two
miners are now said TO BIO missing.

THE st. Louis Republic, in a strong
and sensible editorial endorsing the
action of the State Democratic Com
mittee at Pertle Springs, among other
things says: And now that all the
preliminaries are peacefully and sat-
isfactorily arranged, the rest of the
proceedings up to and including the
Convention ought to be a continue
ton of good feeling within the Demo
cratic ranks. If we estimate the sit
uation correctly, the activities of the
party will best ne directed to cultivat-
ing the spirit of concord among all
kinds of Democrats. The plan OF or
~ganization recommended by the State
Committee stands as the chief work
accomplished Saturday. The sub
committee has discharged its duty
with ability.

started a gubernatorial boom for

Piudall is well known throughout the

of the Circuit Court of his district,

cupied a position of this kind who
never had one of his decisions re-

the hotels and they are only used once
in a while in the morning to stake of
the chill" as the nights are cool. In
fact, it is always pleasant here if you
keep in the shade, but very warm in
the sun. People down here keep in
the shade. In fact, they don't appear
to have much to do but to eat, sleep
and keep cool. There is 10 trouble to

have to do.

with other surroundings, makes this
an ideal place to rest. There is no

mer of the surf of the Atlantic ocean
Although this is not q large city, out
side of the hotels the population is
small. The streets are either paved
with Nicholas pavement or asphalt.
The police all ride wheels. Bob Kemp
should get a wheel, but he generally
gets his man or woman either with or
without one. Golf is the popular game
here and is very fashionable. 1t differs
from Missouri's game of Skinny only
in being fashionable. Poor people
play Skinny; rich people play golf.
l am surprised to find that some of
the very best people here do not take
much stock in the Cuban fight. One
man right from there told me it was
not a rebellion; only a lot of robbers,
murderers and guerillas who did not
want liberty, but plumber, who were
making the show over on the island.
The gentleman talking to me is not in
sympathy with the Spaniards and
cited me to the following, which he
says is reliable:
There is not the slightest doubt
that the instruction is a failure and
that it is about to collapse. The peo-
pie of no city or town or village have
offered any encouragement or assist
ance to the revolutionists except what
they have been compelled to give to
prevent the destruction of their prop
erty land when the revolutionary army
leaves a place quiet is instantly re-
stored and the people go back to their
usual vocatIons. There are a few en-
t~husiastic supporters of the revolution
among the young men of the island,
but it is a popularity of this war that
no Cuban citizen of any Importance
has participated in it. 1t has been
clearly demonstrated that the bust
ness portion of the community, the
land and the tax payers, are
not favorable to the movement. The
rank and file are worthless and des-
perate negroes and are led by foreign
adventures. A Santo Dominican, a
Venezuelan, a Mexican, a Chilano and
q Polish Jew are the chief men in
authority. The rest of the leaders are
citizens of the United States"
One thing is certain, a large number
of stores in Havana r being vacated

Regular work is kept up at the

Aims and Methods of the Associa.

The bylaws of the Free Kinder.
garten Association provide for a
committee ION the Woman's Kin.
dergarten Club of five members,
whose work it shall be to assist in
securing the sympathy and CO.
operation of others in kindergarten
aims and Methods
Sympathy and cooperation can
not be secured in things of which
we ourselves know little or nothing.
The kindergarten Club committee
desires, therefore, to form a class of
its own members, and all of the
members of other committees of the
Association, if possible, and many
others who may be induced to join
with them. Their purpose is to
learn something about kindergarten
aims and methods without actually
taking the. technical training re-
quired in the training school. Few
of the busy women of Honolulu
can afford time to do that, however
much they may feel the desire for
thorough knowledge on the subject.
Mrs. Dumas, a trained kinder
gartner, has kindly consented to
take charge of such a class. Her
plan is to give familiar talks on the
gifts-what they are, and what pur-
pose they serve in this interesting
system of educational develop
ment.
The first meeting of the class
will be held at 8 o'clock Monday,
January ID, at Emma hall. 1t is
earnestly desired that all feel free to
attend-every woman who is in
terested in the kindergarten every
woman who would like to learn
what the kindergarten means, and
every woman who has a child or
who loves one.
Let all come who will and see
how Frobel used the ball, building
blocks and other gifts, so they, too,
may learn to use them with the
children in this child-play that is
more than play.
