man named Wilson arose in the rear of
the hall and claimed that he held the
only genuine proxy of w. @. Hanly and
that all others must be foreeries.
He produced typewriter proxy, pur-
porting to have been signed by Hanly,
and the two proxies were taken by the
leaders of the convention into an execu-
tive session that was Immediately held.
The proxy held by Wilson was declared
to be the genuine one IN spite of the ob-
iections of the Barry people. and Kelly
was nominated by vote of 49, the lowest
mum ber that could have accomplished that
object.
The friends of Barry believed that Kelly
had been nominated by underhand means
and searched high and low for evidence.
Their efforts were unavailing until yester-
day, when w. q. Hanly was interviewed
by a representative of the Barry faction.
He declared unequivocally that he had
given a proxy to no one but Walsh and
that his representative had been instructed
to vote for Barry and no one else.
Furthermore, he declared that at the
time he was claimed to have been with
Wilson and to have signed the second
proxy he was at home and in bed and that
he could prove it by number of witnesses.
Immediately on receiving this inform a.
tion the attention of the executive COM
mittee of the convention. of which Eugene
Deuprey is the chairman, was called to
the matter, and he and Max Pepper started
on tour of investigation. Up To a late
hour last evening no report had been rem
dered by the investigators, but Barry S
friends had decided on one thing-a de-
termined fight against Kelly.
An attempt will be made to prove that
Kelly's friends used fraudulent means to
gain his nomination and that the same is
VOID. If this is successful Barry will still
be in the fight. If Kelly cannot be taken
off the ticket Barry's friends will com bine
against Kelly anyway and try to prevent
his election.
Whichever way the cat jumps the prom
ise of big split in the Democracy of the
Fifth District is assured and lively fight
will be the result.

NEW YoRK'S PEAR CROP.
Hudson Valley Pears Find . Market All
Over the worId-vaIue of the Crop.

Hudson Valley Pears Find . Market An
Over the worId-vaIue of the Crop
The Hudson valley of New York has
long been conceded to be the greatest
pear-prOducing country in the world,
supplying almost entirely not only
New York, Boston and Philadelphia,
but many European cities.
Last year the Hudson valley pear
crop was unusually large, selling for
several million dollars Early this
spring the outlook for a fair production
was very encouraging until the buds
began to open. when the "temetocers
ocellana" or bud moth" and the leaf
roller began their destructive work,
destroying fully half the crop, eating
into the heart of the bud.
Few people have an idea of the labor
and expense entailed in handling the
pear crop. Between New York and Al
bany immense numbers of people are
now employed picking and shipping
pears.
While the Hudson valley pears are not
50 smooth and attractive as those OF
California, they are more highly aP-
preciated and are of superior flavor
Generally the pears are sold 10 COM
mission men before they are ripe
Canada last year took about one-half Of
the states entire crop at $3.50 per bar
rel New York and Boston this year
get two-thirds of the crop at three dol
lars per barrel.
As soon as the pears are picked they
are barreled and shipped, in New York
being sold by the barrel without dump
ing. In Liverpool the sales are conduct
ed differently. being sold entirely at
auction and bringing five dollars per
barrel.
Bartletts do not stand transportation
very we'll. consequently very few of
them are shipped abroad Liverpool is
furnished with the kieffer OF more
hardy variety, but not equal in flavor 10
the Bartlett. The pear industry in the
Hudson valley Is in its infancy, not
withstanding that it produces a large
percentage of the worlds fruit. for
there are thousands of acres of young
trees not vet bearing and many thou
sands more are being planted annually.
At the present rapid rate of increase
| in fruit growth and culture Hudson
country people predict that before
many years the Hudson valley will be d

| end of the state TO the other and capa

Beresford saying that his wife had just
had twins-a boy and a girl--and he
wanted to call one Lord Charles Beres-
ford Brown and the other Princess of

princess. Four months later the man
wrote again: Il am happy to inform
you that Lord Charles Beresford
Brown is we'll and strong, but that
Princess of Wales Brown died this
morning." Lord Charles is a man of
few words, and those very much to the
point. Speaking in the house of COM
mons one day, in reference to the Arab
slave leaders, he said, with great en-
phasis: MIR. Speaker. we ought to
catch these men, give 'em fair trial,

THE DIVINE NAME.
The InenabIe Word That Is Never spoken
by Many Israelites-

by Many Israeiites-
Rev. Dr.. Wise, president of the He
brew Union college at Cincinnati. has
given his view of the ancient Jewish
rendering of the name of the Deity, re-
ports the New York Sun. He says that
the term Jehovah" the ineiiable tetra-
grammaton. is never pronounced by
many Israelites. They use the word
''Adonoi," which signifies 1.-The Lord"
The translators of the Bible followed
this custom, rendering the word ''Je-
hovah'' rs Lord" In ancient times
the Pharisees replaced the tetragram-
maton by Shem; they used ''Shemo,"
which is also Biblical, as the sacred
name. and this name is yet retained. to
some extent. among the Jews. But il
would appear from passages in the
Psalms that Adonoi, or Lord, for Je-
hovah was more ancient even than the
times of the Pharisees. 1t thus occurs
eight times in Psalm lXXNiv- Ii also APP
pears in the book of Exodus where "Je-
hovah" had been used in the original
Hebrew. This substitution would
seem to he older than any other. and it
is yet common among all Jews.
DIR. Wise says he has found that the
ancient translations testify in favor of
.Adonoi."
Looking at the English translation
of the Old Testament il will be found
that the name Jehovah appears in the
books of Genesis. Exodus. Judges the
Psalms and Isaiah. 1t is not in the New
Testament
