Sherman House. The two committees
were in session nearly two hours and did
nothing but talk. The silver men came to
ask'questions, and asked cores Of them.
They wanted TO know what the national
committee proposed TO do about the tenn
pOrary organization whom the doors were
finally opened.
When the conference was over, Govern
or Altgeld refused 10 talk, and the others
all said that no agreement had been reach
ed. Senator Daniel said that the confer
enoe was a pleasant one, and that no fric-
tion developed. He said that they would
meet the national committee on Monday
Chairman'Harritysa said there was q long
discussion Of matters relating TO the tenn
porary organization, but no action was
taken. The fact is that the silver mon
came as a smelling committee. Altgeld,
who is leader of tho silver forces, has pass
ed the word along the line that they will
not accept any gold standard man proposed
by the national committee for temporary
chairman. Tho silver men do not want
Senator Hill for chairman and threaten
TO unseat him If he is named by the ma
tional committee.
The subcommittee will not take any pos
itivo action in relation TO temporary or
ganization. twill be left for the full COM
mittoe TO decide on Monday, but there is
no disposition to yield an inch to the sill
yer men.
The gold standard men control the ma
tional committee and will carry out their
programme of making out the roll and Sc
lecting the temporary officers with little
regard for the plans OF the silver mon.
1t is known that Senator David B. Hill
of New York viii be temporary chairman
Of the Democratic convention If the gold
men of the national comm ttee have their
way. In making up the Temporary organ
ization the committee will recommend TO
the convention the Now York senator for
chairman, and he will be selected unless
the silver men beat him on the floor.
The gold men say they have a clear ma
iority Of the members OF the national com
mittee and they DO not propose TO stand
any bulldozing on the part Of tho silver
men in making up the temporary roll and
the temporary organization.

Procramme Of tho Gold Men.

CHICAGO, July 2.-Comptroller Eckels
Of tho treasury department. says that he
expects Mr.. Whitney and others of the an
tisilyer wing of the party tomorrow. Mr..
Eckels thinks that after that time the
complexion of sentiment will change some
what, and that the silver people will not
have such complete command of the situ-
Stion as they now appear to have. While
Mr.. Whitney Is regarded as the leader of
the gold forces they expect to be able to
muster a formidable array Of distinguish
ed men, who will assist him in his efforts
TO prevent the party throwing itself entire
ly upon tho white metal side of the con-
troversy. In addition to Mr.. Whitney, SEN
ators Hill and Murphy, Hon. Charles Ira
cey and Governor Flower, Hon. Frederic
r. Coudert and ex Postmaster General
Bissell are expected from Now York, as
are Don NJ. Dickinson Of Michigan, Gey-
ernor Russell, Hon. J. h. Russell and
Mayor Quincy from Massachusetts,, Sem
ator Jewett of New Jersey, Senator Villas
OF Wisconsin, Senator Gray of Delaware
and many others, including large delega
tions of business men and influential poll
ticians from indianapolis. Baltimore, Pitts
burg, st. Louis, Cincinnati and other cit
les 1t is understood that 90 influential
mon are coming from indianapolis alone,
and that Iowa will send large delegation.
The Illinois gold Democrats will also be
present in force.
II cannot but believe, said Mr.. Eek
els after giving this list that these men
will exert an influence upon the conven-
tion. They are all men who have partici-
pated in national affairs and all we'll
known Democrats. They will appeal to
the convention in the interest of the bust
ness stability of the country and also for
the preservation OF the party's integrity.

Not Unanimous.

It may be useful to observe tnnt while
edger for some radical change the Chris
tian inhabitants OF the island are by no
means unanimous in supporting the re-
form committee The eastern districts still
remain perfectly tranquil, and the fact
may be attributed in no small degree to
the excellent administration Of Hassan
Pasha the recsntly recalled governor OF
Gambia, which inspired universal conf
dence. The adhorents of the committee
are principally mountaineers of SphalSia
and Apokorona, who live in a state of
chronic rebellion against Turkish rule
Even In the western districts oonsidera-
bic number Of the Christian peasants arc
unwilling to take part in the struggle.
The villagers of Alikianu are anxious TO
return to their homes. but the abandoned
villages are occupied by tho insurgents,
and they now request that Turkish troops
should be sent co roinstate them and drive
out the intruders. They desire TO obtain a
guarantee from the foreign consuls for
their future security, rs otherwise thoy
may be molosted by Mohammedan bands
as we'll as by Christian.

How London Handled the All Devouring

During the plague of 1908 Francis

low of the Colledge of Physicians in
London published certain Rules
and Directions for the prevention Of the
spreading Of that contagious and all de-
vouring Sickness. These he reprinted,

vse, and I hope good of my Citizens
and Countrimen. Among his rules are !:
"Concourse Of people to Stage playes,
wakes or feasts and May pole daunoings
are to be prohibited by publique Author
ity, whereby, as God is dishonored, the
bodies of men and women--by surfet-
ting, drunkenness and other riots and
excesses-disposed to infection, and the
contagion dangerously scattered both in

When man Is good for nothing else.
he shoulders gun and goes out killing
Gods creatures for amusement. There
is some justification for killing birds and
animals that propagate so fast that they
seriously interfere with the comfort of
man, Lut why any man can feel pleasure
in taking the life of bird or animal for
mere wantonness, is beyond our compre-
hension, unless it is that there is more
animal than man in his make up. II GER
tain men see some large or unknown bird
flying over their head, they cannot rest
until they have secured gun and shot it.
After it is manned or killed, il satisfies q
moments curiosity, and then is Of little
if any further value. This wanton spirit
has caused the destruction of thousands
OF birds useful to the farmer, and has
nearly made extinct several species of
large birds that are of no value as food,
but that are beautiful TO the sight as they
gracefully sail through the air, and no
doubt they subserve some wise purpose.
There ought 10 be law compelling
these fellows to eat all the birds thus wan
tonly killed, feathers and all.
This article was suggested by reading
OF the shooting o. golden eagle, as re-
ported in our Bucks county news column.
L seems burning shame that such rare
birds shou I'd be thus destroyed.

A Remarkable Tree.

There is a hayward white oak tree
near Laporte, Ind, that may we'll puz-
zle naturalists with the vagaries of its
growth. The tree is feet in circumfer-
ence at the base, and there are no
branches of any size below 10 feet from
the ground. There the great bole d.
vides into a number Of limbs. Two,
leaving the trunk about 20 inches apart.
grow west. their lines diverging for some
9 feet, and then each rending toward
the other. Twelve feet from the body Of
the tree they unite again, making per-
feet oval, and out of this grow two
smaller branches. As If not satisfied
with that expressed disregard for the
laws Of nature, this old tree has per-
formed another feat. Six feet from it's
base grows another white oak, less than
half its size, and no sooner does the
smaller tree arrive at the charmed cir
oles Of those branching limbs than one
Of them grows right into it, and is alb
sorbed. The second tree is very much
larger 20 feet from the ground than at
ita base

Tins Expected For Free Shining.

Many retail shoe dealers have in their
stores porter whose duty it is to polish
the shoes of customers free of charge.
A movement is now on foot among
some Of the BARRIERS to establish the
same custom in connection with their
business, and it will be no surprise if
the new year finds signs hanging in
some of the shops reading, "Shoes pol
ished free of charge"
OF course those who start the custom
will have large run Of new trade, 25
per cent of which they will retain, after
the custom becomes generally establish
ed, If good BARRIERS are employed.
A shoe dealer who was one of the first
to establish the custom said the cost is
practically nothing after the original
outlay for chairs and brushes, as the
colored porter is we'll paid by the tips
he receives.
It is commended by some of the BARRIERS
that the porter would be we'll paid for his
trouble by tips and the customer would
feel that he had saved money by getting
shaved there, as no one considers money
given away in tips as money spent. -.
