Tyler's Friends Fear His Large Vote Will
Make Small Convention.

Richmond, j. ly 23.--Mr. II. NJ. Tyler
returned this moruiEe from Caroline
county, where he had been in the interest
of his brother, Major j. Hoge Tyler, who
will, from present appearances, be the
next governor of Virginia. Mr.. Tyler,
who has charge of his brothers. canvass
in this section of the State, says while
the candidate from the Southwest already
has instructed for him more than enough
delegates to insure his nomination upon
the first ballot, his friends will not relax
their efforts in the slightest degree They
will keep up the fight until the decisive
ballot is taken. This will also be the
policy of Mr.. Ellysons. followers. They
clearly see that their leader is doomed to
defeat, but they propose that he shall 90
down with his colors flying. OF course
when it Is shown that Tyler has the nom
nation the Ellyson men will make it
unanimous.
1t is feared that the fact that Major
Tyler will have such an overwhelming
majority OH the first ballot will seriously
affect the attendance upon the convep-
ton. The friends of Mr.. ssEllyson rs we'll
AS the Tyler supporters are anxious to
secure full convention. and are urging
their delegates to attend in person, but
many will not go when the most interest
ing contest is practically decided in adj.
vance. The managers of both of the
leading candidates will in appointing
their Richmond delegates select only such
men as will go to Roanoke. The lieuten-
-governorship is attracting good deal
of attention now 1t is thought that
Msjor Scott, who seems to be in the lead
for attorney. general will be able to pre-
vent the nomination of Cation, of AlcXan-
dra, in which event the chances of Hon.
Merritt r. Cooke, CT Norfolk, will be quite
good. 1t ia known that Mr.. Elysou does
not care for the second place, and it will

Philip G. Hubert, Jr., in a sketch
Of Franklin in his recent book,
"Inventors," says: "Nothing in
nature failed to interest him." and
a catalogue of his achievements,
showing his activity and resource,
is conclusive proof of the truth of
both statements.
Franklin inspired and established
the Junto, the pleasantest snd most
useful American club of which we
have knowledge, says an exchange.
He founded the Philadelphia
library, parent Of 1000 libraries,
which marked the beginning of an
intellectual movement of endless
good to the whole country.
He first turned to great account
tho engine of advertising, indispen-
sable in all modern business.
He published "Poor Richard,'
record of homely wisdom, in such
shape that hundreds Of thousands
of readers were made better and
stronger by it.
He created the postoffice system
Of America and was the first cham
pion of reformed spelling.
He invented the Franklin stove,
which economical fuel and he sug-
gested valuable improvements in
ventilation and the building of
chimneys.
He robbed thunder of its terrors
and lightning of some ofits powers
to destroy.
He found the American Philoso.
phical society, the first organiza-
ton in America of the friends of
science.
He suggested the use of mineral
manures, introduced the basket
willow, promoted the early culture
Of and pointed out the advantages
of white clothing in summer.
lie measured the temperature of
the gulf stream and discovered that
northeast storms may begin in the

He pointed out the advantage Of
building ships in water-tight COM

accomplished largely as recreation
from his life work as economist and

Immediately Aldrich, Allison and

what sort of bill he would permit

Big Money.

The costliest building of modern
times is the state capitol at Albany,
which has already had spent upon
it the immense sum Of $20,000,000.
The highest price ever paid for
a horse was that given for
the mighty racehorse Ormonde,
which totaIed up to no less that
$150,00O, 1t should be remember
ed that this famous horse never lost
a race in all his career on the turf.
Apart from racehorses the largest
sum paid for a horse was that of
$125,O00 which Senator Stanford
gave for Arion in 1892 to Mr..
Forbes of Boston.
The most expensive government
that is, as far as the legislature
is concerned-is that of the French.
They pay for it the sum of So, $780,
600 annually.
The costliest paintings Of modern
times have been Meissonior's "1Sl4"
and MilIet's "Angelus." NJ. Chau-
chard gave $175,000 for "18l4" and
$4,000 for the "Angelus." These
two paintings are, in the opinion
of all connoisseurs, quite worth
their money; which is more than
can be said for all the things which
have cost q large amount.
The Shah Of Persia, who owns so
many valuable articles Of jewelry
and fancy goods, is the posscssor
of what is doubtless the most eX.
pensive pipe in the world, it being
worth some 100000. The whole
of the long stem and bowl are
simply incrusted with jewels.
There is a book, Hebrew Bible,
in the Vatican library which Pope
julius IL. refused to sell for it's
weight in gold; and as this would
have totaled $l05,000 this may be
taken as the most valuable book in
the world,
The greatest sum ever asked or
offered for single diamond is ST.
10000, which the Nizam of Hy.
derabad agreed to give Mr.. Jacobs,
the famous jeweler of Simla, for the
"Imperial" diamond. This is now
considered the finest stone in the
world.
For a cane that was once the
property of George Ill, and after
ward Of George w., the sum of $9,-
600 was given at an auction in
London. 1t was an ebony walking
stick, with gold top, engraved
&c. R. and with a crown, and also
contained some locks of hair of the
Princesses Elizabeth, Mary, and
Sophia.

Springfield for term oftwo years" "
was the simple announcement made
by Gov. Stephens yesterday.
Back of this, however, is story
says the Jefferson City Tribune.
The new oil inspector ofth "Queen
City of the Ozarks" saved the Gov.
erner's life once, and is now reward
ed by an appointment to a good
Office. 1t was twenty-five years
ago, and the future Governor and
Boarman were Boys in the quiet,
staid old town of Boonville. They
were just like other boys the world
over, and one warm afternoon in
June they played "hookey" and
went to bathe in the cool waters of
a deep creek that flows into the
Missouri river back of the Kemper
school. Stephens could not swim
a lick, and venturing into water
over his head was in fair way to
drown when young Boarman swan
to his rescue. After much Difficult
ty he got his all but unconscious
burden to shore and revived him.
Following the usual course Of hui
man events the ways Of the two
boys diverged. One prospered in
business and politics and the other
became q citizen of Springfield,
where he, too, was fairly prosper
Gus. When the time came that
there was q vacancy in the office, to
which he was yesterday appointed,
Boarman applied for it, and the
Governor, without hesitation, gave
it to him, at is the only thing
that he has ever asked at my hands" "
said the governor yesterday, "and
he is in every way worthy.
