From a Staff Correspondent.
Chicago, Ills, July 81 asked Hon;
John 4. Howard this evening If ne mad
determined en- his candidate for Presl-
dert. His answer was:
NO, l have not, but | will vote for
Stevenson if his name is presented and
backed by a respectable number OF free
silver delegates. | want to vote for a
straight-out free silver man. But he
must be a safe, conservative man, in
whom the people have confidence and
who would be an eligible candidate, had
there been no silver movement. That
is to say, am opposed to the extremists
and in favor OF such a candidate as
Stevenson if there is a chance to nomin-
ate him.

Vice PRESIDENT"
Il WILL with great pleasure, vote for
Judge jackson, and will do anything
can in his favor; but don't think West
Virginia can get that place"

GEN. WATTS AND HIS CHANCES.


There appeared the other day in the
IntelHgencer an article which aimed to
show that while Watts lead in the race
for the Democratic gubernatorial nomi-
nation in this State his nomination was
by no means sure. The same article at
tempted 10 show that other candidates
for the Democratic nomination-which
is a sure thing this year and has con-
sequenuy brought out long and for
midable list of excellent and able Dem
ocrats-would possibly have a majority
against Gen. Watts.
The Register confesses not to be so
well posted as to the coming vote for
Governor in the Democratic State Con-
yenUon as the Inteligencer processes to
be. but it has just received a very inter-
esting, communication from Morgan
county Democrat who, we know, is at
least better informed than our esteemed
ueighbor about this matter. We all
know that The Intelligencer and the Hon.
and truly good, George Wesley Atkin-
son are possessed of deadly fear of the
a6ie and vigorous Gen. Watts and would
practically give up the fight against
Watts ana 5imetallism.
Our spondent points out that
Gen. Watts has already 456 pledged and
instructed de,egates-mOre than enough
10 nominate him on the first ballot. We
leave our correspondent, however, to
speak for himself.

WATER FILTERs-EWING BROS.

Some little discussion was caused this
afternoon by reason of the fact that the
gold men had called another meeting for
tonight at the Auditorium. 1t was said
that it was TO settle the question Of sup
porting Mr. Hill for chairman.
Senator Hills attention was called TO the
statement that there was silver delegate
from New York He said: The state
ment is absolutely untrue. There is
NOT A SILVER DELEGATE
in our party. The man VINO made the
statement Is an imposter"
Ex-Governor Russell, of Massachusetts,
was asked this afternoon to give his views
on the situation. He said: There is no
material change. You can say that the
two-tnird rule will not be abrogated by the
convention and that the unit rule will also
stand"

Can Never Raise Enough Votes to Nomi-
nate Him
Chicago, July 5.-The managers of the
Boies campaign say they are very much
encouraged by the reports received to-day
from their scouts and skirmishers who have
been canvassing the incoming delegations.
They declare that Boies has developed a
great deal of unexpected strength, and that
he is the second choice of the two-thirds
Of the silver delegates. They are sensible
of the rise in Bland stock, but they say
that Bland Will never be able to secure
two-thirds of the convention, indicating
that the Boies men win not favor the abro
CATION of the two-thirds rule. The Boies
men think that the prejudice against the
selection of a Southern man will operate
against Mr.. Bland and prevent his nomna-
ton. The Boies men say that as soon as
it becomes apparent that Bland cannot be
nominated, Boies win then be selected.
Iowa men have been arriving all day.
Col T. J. Phillips, OF Otumwa, arrived to-
night with $50 Bcies boomers who are max
ing themselves heard in the corridors Of
the hotels.

HIRED READERS.
ihey Live in Libraries and Dig Out Facts
for Other People.

LOT Other People.
Visitors to the Astor library have
observed that certain persons appear
lhcre with great regularity, and two or
| three faces seem to be as permanent
feature of the place as the busts and
white columns. These regulars are
there at all hours of the day and at all
seasons of the year. One man in par
ticular seems to spend all his time with
IN the walls of the library.
y man whose work on a certain sub
Ject took him regularly to the library
made an effort to see what subject was
absorbing one visitor whom he had no.
ticcd ut work whenever he had been in
the library during the two years pre-
cedlng. For a month he observed the
man, and found that during that time
the man had been reading industriously
volumes relating to four different sub
Jects, and taking copious notes from
them. He did not look like man
who was reading for the purpose of
general cultivation, and the books he
had been using varied as widely in sub
Ject as the history of the Spanish drama
and the Chinese metaphysics.
The hopelessness of learning any
thing about the mans occupation from
his own observation led the interested
inquirer to ask one of the library Off
Gals who the regular visitor was. Then
he learned that the fellow, like many
of the others he had often noticed at
work in the library, was irregular reader
employed to do for others the read
ing and investigating necessary for
particular work Usually this man
and others like him are called upon to
dig out only the points relating to GER
tain phases of subject, but often their
work extends over much wider range.
They are known to the officials
of the library, and in this way they
are brought into contact with persons
who are looking about for somebody to
undertake the required labor of refer
ence and rea ling.-N. Y. Sun.

WINDOWS OF CLOTH.
A Substitute for Glass Which Never Leak s
and VIII Not Break.

Windows of cloth instead of glass
sounds like an impossiblity, and vet
it is reality. and the employment Of
such substitute is an acknowledged
success. 1t is not ordinary cloth, but
such as is translucent. through which
light comes just as through glass. To
all intents and purposes this cloth Win
dow is similar to the sheets of glass.
and lasts ever so much longer, while
still having Just as good an appearance.
Now the remarkable feature of this
new fabric is that it never leaks, does
not break and is nearly one-third
cheaper than glass. A large skylight
composed of the new substitute for
glass, which has been in constant use
long enough to show its worth. remains
in perfect condition, not one cent hay
ing been spent on it for repairs.
The material has many advantages
claimed for it, chief of which is that BY
its employment in train sheds. freight
houses, large auditoriums and public
buildings having skylights of large
area, the light weight of the material
permits of a simple, inexpensive AMI
light form of skylight construction.
The joints are made water-tight by a
special method used with this material.
The translucent fabric consists of a
transparent material spread over steel
wire cloth, with L. meshes per inch.
which gives the panels a flexible and
elastic quality permitting its adjust
ment to any shape that the roof struc-
ture may take, owing to the expansion
or contraction of the framework. The
fabric is strong and is made in panels
IS by &c inches in size, and can carry
a weight of over 400 pounds per square
foot.
1t might be naturally assumed that
the translucent qualities of the fabric
would be much inferior to that of glass,
but careful comparison has shown
that the amount of light which it trans
mts equals that of the ribbed g!ass
one-quarter of an inch thick. As it is
treated with a special preparation. the
fabric is impervious to cinders or even
to hot Goals dropped upon it, and will
burn only when set fire to at the
edges. Even then the flames will MAXI
slow progress, thus furnishing timely
warning.
Another argument in its favor is that
Il is greatly superior to even the finest
glass as covering for art galleries and
studios, for the reason that it will never
leak, and therefore serves as a perfect
L.
Sometimes heavy deposit of snow
serves to crack the heaviest glass sky
light, and often Injuries paintings and
tapestries beyond restoration.-N. Y.
