The convention was so disorderiy at
times as almost to require the interven-
tion of the police. George Fred Williams
was the principal figure In the conven-
ton. There was no opposition to his
nomination for governor. but his insist
ence on the turning down Of the old
party leaders who were lukewarm In
support Of himself and Bryan last fan
created a tumult at the outset before
permanent organization hRd been ef-
fected.
Congressman Fitzgerald was orderetr
to his seat when he attempted to speak
and mis- adherents at one time threat
ened TO sustain him by force.

Taxpayers Of Greater New York May

New York, Sept 2s.-The Herald says.
The examination of the financial de-
partments of the various municipalities
which will be consolidated into Greater
New York has developed a shortage Of
from sieo0OOO to 100000 in Brooklyn.
Unless special legislation is obtained at
Albany to prevent H. this shortage will
be saddled upon the taxpayers of the
greater city. Under clause of the char
ter creating Greater New York, the con-
troller Of the present city of New York
was required to examine and pass upon
the accounts Of the financial officers Of
the city and towns included in the differ
ent boroughs.
Two months ago Controller Fitch ap-
pointed a number of expert accountants

lected to so through the books of Brook

the first things encountered was a dis
crepaney of $l.OOOOO between the books

found to represent the unpaid taxes OF
Brooklyn, which had been allowed 10
accumulate year after year until the

CHILDHOOD LOVERS UNITED.
An Interesting Romance which BE
gan I'm Muncie, Ind, and
Ended in Hawaii,

An interesting romance, which be-
gan in Muncie, Ind, and ended in Homo
lulu, has just been told to the brides
relatives in the Indiana town. Twenty
years ago Miss Allie Smell, eldest daugh-
ter of DR.. S. Smell, now deceased, and
George w. R. King were schoolmates
and lovers. They agreed to get mar
ried when both reached certain age,
but the young mans parents moved
from Muncie and finally landed in
Honolulu, where they have since re-
sided. Miss Smell was later married to
Thomas Connor and for many years the
couple have lived happily together.
They moved to San Francisco three
years ago, and year ago were divorced,
after she had learned the place of resi-
dence Of her schoolmate lover and the
fact that he was yet unmarried. Soon
after the divorce the lady met her child
hoods lover and wedding was ar
ranged for upon the arrival of Mrs. Con-
nor in Honolulu.
The lady is the possessor of large
properties, mostly located in Muncie,
ana her new husband is rich man.

Legal Test of the Silver Question.

Pontiac, Mich. Dec. g. Judge
Smith has rendered his decision in
the case of Stephen a Baldwin VS..
Fred A. Baker in favor of he for
mer. The circumstances leading up
to the suit were these:
Baldwin ownes a farm in Bloom
field valued at $4,000, and upon
which Baker holds II mortgage for
$4,000. The mortgage was obtained
by assignment from its Original
holders, Dec. 14th. 1897, and there
was due in interest and principal
upon the mortgage 1864. In pay
ment Baldwin rendered Baker 364
silver dollars, which he refused to
accept. Baker at once began steps
to foreclosee the mortgage. Bald
win fled bill in chancery asking
that the mortgage be discharged,
insomuch as he had rendered the
payment to Baker. Baker fled an
answer in reply covering all the
points of the coinage laws. In it he
quoted the coinage law passed by
Congress on Feb. IL, 1873, provid-
ing that the standard gold dollar
"shoulb be the unit of value Gu
this basis he urged he would not be
paid in full value of the mortgage,
as the silver dollar market value was
but So cents. Judge Smiths decis-
sion was that the tender of silver in
payment for the mortgage was good
and accordingly ordered the mort
gage discharged as paid. The case
will be appealed TO the Supreme
Court of Michigan and from there it
is expected that it will go to the
United States Supreme Court.

AMERICA AND ENGLAND.
Two Things That Would Hring About
An Alliance between the
Nations Instantly.

Two things would bring about an
Anglo-American alliance instantly. If
combination of European powers
should be formed to crush the United
States-and after the official utterances
of the foreign ministers OF Germany
and Austria this is not wholly an ex-
travagant supposition they would
have to crush the British feet as we'll.
That this is the view of those at present
responsible for British policy l know,
writes Henry Norman in Cosmopolis.
AS have said elsewhere, we should
never stand by and see hundred mil
lions of people who speak English
trampled on by people who speak Rus
sian or French or German. And we
cherish, not as those who have no hope,
the conviction that If the people who
speak Russian and French and German
laid aside for the moment their deadly
rivalries to join in crushing US, beside
the flag of the three crosses there would
be found on the seas certain flag Of
stripes, as we'll as stars"

To Knock Out The Purity Law.

The Purity OF election law has
been looked on with disfaAor by a
majority of the voters in the state
ever since is passage. The election
of 1896 was the first application of
it and at the meeting of the last
legislature it was openly announced
that efforts would be made to repeal
it. A majority of the Legislature
however felt that one election was
insufficient to test its effect and it
was allowed to stand. The restrict
i've provisions of the law with regard
10 electioneering were more
closely observed two years ago than
they were last month. At the recent
election. all over the state, barriers
were removed, and treating in yari-
GUS forms, and other methods of
electioneering thought two years ago
to he prohibited by the purity law,
were followed out with all old time
freedom, and no mention was made
of them in the reports of expendi-
lures filed after the election.
Those Senators and Assemblymen
elect, in the northern part of the
state. who failed to file their reports,
have employed counsel and propose
to test the constitutionality Cf the
Purity measure. They urge imme-
date action by the Supreme court,
and if successful, will save the
coming legislature the trouble of
repeal statute. What constitutional
grounds they will urge against the
law we are not informed.
Objections to the statute come
from all quarters of the state and
the contest instituted by Shier and
Dooley in this county is based on
failure to comply with important
provisions of this Objectionable and
restrictive law.
If the law is declared unconstitu-
tional this month, or before the
meeting of the Legislature on Jan.
18th. it will end the contest here, as
that contest is one which the Assem-
bly, itself, after organization, will be
called upon to consider.

Presumption may be cautiously
charged against the tenor OF some
of the presentments made by
members of the able Hawaiian
lobby at Washington, upon the
ground that they are undue inter-
ferences from the outside with the

Nothing of the kind will lie

Have You
An Account?

This is a serious question,
one at which some folks take
offense, yet statesmen are under
the necessity of asking it.
Some folks deal near home,
settle infrequently, never in
vestigate to see whether they
pay more than they should and
too often allow their accounts to
60 long over due. If you don't
care what the family expenses
are it's poor way to do if you
want to leave your children in
atfluent circumstances when
you are gone. Now it is quite
an advantage to have an open
account at a well-known house,
who can execute your order
promptly. Often persons say
they don't want an account and
will pay in few days. But
we cannot keep memoranda of
charges; it isn't safe or good
business. The stock found in
ordinary stores is usually stale,
uninviting and inferior, while
the stock in our store is turned
so frequently and so Ca, efully
watched that it is at all times
fresh. Our stock in trade con-
sists of the luxuries and deli
cacies from every civilized ma
ton. Send for our catalogue
