Frank Terrace, member of the Popuiist
conference committee: William Cochrane
and other delegates from the White river
country, arose IN their indignation and left
the hall in disgust, never to return again.
The leaders OF the delegation from the
South district claim that they were be-
trayed BY Sheriff Meyer and his managers.
They claim that they were promised the
commLssionership md several candidates
had appeared for IT, among others J. w.
Maple. They allege further that the Moy-
er men did not intend that they should
have the commissionershp; that their
course IN the meeting OF the conference
committee proved this and that when the
fight was carried into the convention Way
and his First warders. and. IN fact, the
Meyer leaders all over the convention,
united in voting to give the office away.

AT A CHINESE FUNERAL.
Elaborate Feast on the Grave for the
Spirits NOurishmcnt.

Elaborate Fenst on the Grave for the
Spirits NOurishmcnt.
The musical instruments are of such
whimsical form as nearly to defy de-
scription, though they resemble in out
line our flute and violin; and the sound
which theyproduce being an almost un-
heard-of sound to us, we have no Eng
lish term that will adequately express
it, says Lippincott's. Chinese music has
a sort of softness and melancholy in it's
tones that sometimes pleases, but it is
SO intolerably monotonous that If pro-
longed it becomes exceedingly irritat-
ing to the nerves. They have no semi
tones; indeed, they seem only to blow
into the instrument or twang strings at
random from the inspiration OF the mo-
ment. However, it appears they have
notes, though their compositions arc
not of much scientific value. You some
times hear something like simple mel
ody, not unlike That which runs through
the chants cf savages.
The closing scenes may be said to con-
sist of four acts; that Of the mourners
taking separate leave Of their friend,
each apparently trying to outdo the
other in loud lamentations; that of
gathering togethcrall the silk and china
and packing away the musical instru-
ments; that of the undertaken and the
son Of Erin still further removing the
traces, until only q mound marks the
scene; and that of the feast spread over
the grave. And it would be an elaborate
menu that would include the substan-
tials and deiicacfes calculated to nour-
ish the spirit while it fingers about the
body awaiting resurrection.

NEW FAD FOR RICH WOMEN.
Wearing Diamonds on the Finger
Nails Is Now the Thing.

Wearing Diamonds on the Finger
Nails Is Now the Thing.
Millionaire women have n new ec-
ccntricity which they are quite sure
they can reserve for their own eXclu-
sive use, says the Detroit Free Press.
The initiating multitudes will be de-
barred from the sincercst form Of fiat
terry by their lack of ducats. They will,
therefore, be compelled to remain in
the background to covct and admire.
The new millionaire fad is to wear
diamonds on the finger nails. This is
so very simply accomplished that one
wonders why milIionaires have never
thought of it before. When one con-
siders how very easy a matter it is
to attach diamonds to the ends of ones
fingers, it becomes a matter Of painful
regret that finger nails have remained
unornamented sc many thousand years.
The new fashion, which has nj the
glory and prestige Of an invention
along moro scientific lines, decrees that
the women with bank accounts long
enough to permit of this costly tritling
shall have tiny gold cap made for
each of their fingers. From the cap is
suspended on the outer side big dia-
mond drop, which sparlilCs most salts
factorily, there being one large sparkle
for each finger nail. Of course, the
sparkles are not so conspicuous as they
would be if q large number of rings
were not worn at the same time, but
society is hardly yet ready for the great
sacrifice which the laying off Of rings
would entail. Some day, perhaps, the
finger nail adornments may be allowed
to shine in undiminished glory.
