GiIea In the Pulnif.

The tenets of John Wesley and his
disciples were eagerly embraced in Nor
folk, and Giles frequently became 10
cal preacher. One "local," Sam by
name, is described as ga born teacher, "
though his SMILES often dropped to the
burlesque. On one occasion he took for
his text, "The wages of sin is death. "
and prefaced his sermon as follows:
"My fri 'nds, Brother Paul tells US
that the wages o. sin is death. Now,
let's see wuther we kin grasp wot he

THOUSANDS OF EGes FOR EUROPE
The general scarcity of food products
in Europe has caused an unprecedented
demand for American eggs, and large
quantities are being shipped to Liver
pool from this port. Thirty six thous-
and dozen were shipped on the Ameri-
can Line steamship Italia, which sailed
yesterday. Larger shipments are to
follow on the other vessels of the line,
and the trade promises to bean import
ant one in the export line, The eggs
go away in crates, and it is claimed
that sea voyage improves them.

Maiden Speeches.

Sheridan, one of the greatest of Brit
ish orators and who entered parliament
after oonspicuously successful literary
career, SO nearly broke down in his
maiden effort that the general verdict
pronounced upon him was that mature
never intended him for an orator"
Brougham and Canning were equally
unsuccessful, and many of the most
celebrated speakers of the present day
displayed no signs of oratory when they
appeared for the first time before the
critical assembly at st. Stephens.
Mr.. Gladstone's maiden speech, de-
livered Feb. 81, 1888, was a nervous,
hesitant and almost inaudible effort.

Fire and Water.

Water will extinguish fire because
the water forms coating over the fuel,
which keeps it from the air, and the
conversion of water into steam draws
off the heat from the burning fuel. A
little water makes fire fie1cer, while
large quantity of water puts it out.
The explanation is that water is COM
posed of oxygen and hydrogen. When
therefore the fire can decompose the
water into its simple elements, it serves
as fuel to the fame.

Some undergraduates once wished to

Henry Gage, a Los Angeles attorney, for
Governor. Gage had only one opponent,

by reclamation. There was long delay
while the platform committee was prepar-
ing its report and the delegates put in the
time listening to patriotic speeches.
The PLATFORM which was adopted unani-
mously, reaffirms adherance to the national
platform adopted in st. Louis in 1896, and
extends the thanks of the Republican party
to the sailors and soldiers of the army and
navy. Sampson Schley, Hobson, Wheeler
and Lawton are complimented. and express
tribute is paid to the navy. California SEN
ators and representatives of Congress are
pledged to vote and work for the building
of an adequate navy, and insist that a part
thereof be constructed on the Pacific coast.
A glowing tribute is paid to President Nc
Kinley, and the people of the United States
are congratulated that the broad American
policy of the President has dissipated all
sectional issues. Belief in the financial
plank of the Republican platform of 1896
is reaf.rmed, and the administration is
urged to secure an international monetary

Is commended for his refusal to consider
any proposition to look into the assumption
of the Spanish-Cuban debt The declared
policy of the President to accord to the
people of Cuba an opportunity to form a
stable government, thus redeeming the
promise made to the world, is indorsed but
the platform demands the annexation of the
Island of Porto Rico and other West Indian
islands and of the Philippines. The acquisi-
ton of Hawaii is rejoiced in. The records
of the Republican representatives in Con-
gress are indorsed. and the building of the
Nicaragua canal is demanded. The Mat
form favors the foreclosure of the mort
cages of the Pacific Railroad by the govern
ment unless the Indebtedness is paid. The
platform demands that Congress pass an
exclusion act prohibiting further Japanese
and coolie immigration and that such ex-
clusion act shall prohibit both the.Japanese
and Chinese now located at the Hawaiian
islands from entering the United States
The platform touches upon a number of To-
cal state issues and closes with an indorse-
ment of the work of the State League of
Republican Clubs.

AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Detectives CONFIDENT She VIII Confess
to Sending Poisoned Candy to Mrs.
Dunning-A SaIesman's Story.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 24.-Mrs. D. A.
Botkin, who is accused of causing the death
of Mrs. j. P. Dunning and Mrs. j. d. Deane,

lutely to talk to newspaper representatives,

tested her innocence.

piece of evidence was made public in Stock
ton to-day. Frank Gatrell, a salesman in
the Wave candy store at that place, says
that about three weeks ago a woman came
into the store and asked for a foUr-bit box
of candy, saying that she had some candy
that she desired to put in the box with some
of tie store candy Gatrell gave her box
which did not have the firm name on it.
The candy which she put in looked old to
him, and 1t scarcely half filled the box. He
says he did not observe the lady closely,
and can only describe her by saying that
she was of medium height and build. w.
Kuhn, proprietor of the store, says that he
would know both the box and the candy
again should he see them.
Detective Gibson, who assisted in the ar
rest of Mrs. BOtkin, states that he has no
warrant for the arrest of any other woman.
He thinks Mrs. Botkin will break down,
ana mas taken precaution to prevent her
from committing suicide. She was much
agitated when told that she would have to
stand trial on a charge of murder, but soon
recovered herself and said the charge would
nave to be proved. A trunk belonging to
MRS Botkin was seized in this city to-day
has not yet opened it, and will not do so
until formal extradition papers are received
from Delaware.

Botkin morphine for her nerves, told the

pursue there. We propose to establish a
stable government in that island but what
constitutes a stable government has not yet

there will be no question as 10 what stable
government means
