WILL HAVE TO GIVE
 WAY TO MAGUIRE DELEGATES THINK THEY FORESEE SLAUGHTER FOR THE TICKET. Dick Beamers Delegates Are Being Given Some Worry by the Pop-

HEADQUARTERS,

CALL HEADQUARTERS, sACRA-
 MENTO, Aug. 15.-The rivalry for places
 on the State ticket is by no means in-
 tense. The number of candidates is not
 small, but what strikes the spectator is
 the general apathy of aspirants. Politi-
 clans account of this state of affairs on
 the ground that when the ticket is made
 up everything is to be sacrificed for the
 election of Mcguire. Delegates generally
 assert that Mcguire will carry the State.
 but do not express confidence in the sue
 cess of the whole ticket.
 Delegations from the remote counties of
 Trinity and Inyo arrived this afternoon.
 A. w. EibeshutZ of Independence, Inyo,
 reports that his people stand in for fu-
 sion, but take little interest in the tenn porary or permanent organization of the convention.
 William Condon and James w. Bartlett of Weaverville, Trinity County, support
 Mcguire and fusion. The absence of | John McMurray of Trinity is noted This is the first time that he has missed Democratic State Convention since Gov ernor Irwin was nominated in Union Hall | in 1875.
 A candidate for the State Board of | Equalization from the Fourth District | entered the race this afternoon, or at least William R. Burke of Los Angeles | yielding to the earnest desire of his nu- | merous friends in that district and allowed | his name to be entered the list MT. | Burke has lived in this State for thirteen | years He was a member of the Arkan-
 sas Legislature when James R. Jones and James H. Berry were elected to the United States Senate. During his public career in Arkansas he gave much atten- | ton to the subject of assessments and | taxation.
 According to the fusion programme the | POpulists are to have one nominee for the | State Board of Equalization, but the man. ner of determining the district in which l the Populist will parade as the accepted l nominee of the amalgamated party has not been settled therefore the adroit easy district to win. A report was started l to-day that the Third District, now rep
 resented by R. H: Beamer of Woodland. was deemed a walk-oyer territory for any lame Popocrat, but Beamer's friends in the l Democratic camp resent the intrusion. l When the forces are lined up for voting | on the choice of nominee 1t will be found l that Beamer Is master of the situation. | Fifteen of the twenty delegates of the | San Diego delegation arrived this after | noon, and the remaining five are en route l from San Francisco. A caucus of the l delegates at the Golden Eagle Hotel has 1 been called. l. l. Irwin is chairman of 1 the delegation.
 | pr. Matthews of Tehama, Will S. Green l and John Boggs, of Colusa, John Gaffey | and J. Marion Brooks, of Los Angeles, are | some of the old time Democrats attend | ing the convention. Mir Boggs is not a | delegate, but he may have a few words | of good counsel to impart to men entitled
 to places in the charmed circle of the | Agricultural Pavilion.

MONTEITH WANTS
 TO GO TO CONGRESS
SAYS THERE IS A COMPACT TO
 BEAT HIM.
f Defeated for the Nomination Before the Convention He Will Run as
 an Independent

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO. Aug. 15.-A new factor has en- tered into the Fifth Congressional Dis trict contest in the person of George w. Monteith, Populist. Monteith, it will be remembered was nominated by the Popu- lists two years ago in the First District, and when the fusion arrangement with the Democrats was effected refused 10 give way to F. A. Cutler, thereby ma teriaIIy aiding in the election of Barham.
 Monteith is now in Sacramento making q fight for the Democratic-Populist nomi- nation from the Fifth, though. as he can- didly admits with slight chance Of sue cess In order to enter the lists, Mon teith has removed from San Rafael to 193OA Eddy street, San Francisco. To-day he gave some interesting information re- garding the situation from his point Of view.
 "There is a secret compact between Me Nab and Loud said Monteith, whereby the paths are to be made smoother for each Under this arrangement Julius Kahn was changed over from the Fifth District, where he would have had a strong following, to the Fourth. in which district he will cut no figure against Mo Nab For the same reason l Will De turned down for the nomination in the Fifth on the Democratic ticket by the Gould-Alford-McNa combination ana a man nominated who will cut no ngure whatever in the running. With Kahn out of the way the Republican nomlnatl0n will be easy for Loud. while McNab will carry off the Fourth District plum in the Democratic convention m
 "But while I may and undoubtedly will be defeated for the nomination l propose to make 1t decidedly interesting for the combination. 1 have some strong friends behind me who are urging me to run in dependently in the Fifth District, but l am not pre- ared to state Just yet what I shall do in this regard.
 While Monteith refused to commit him self definitely 1t was evident from his manner that he has fully determined to enter the fight in the Fifth District as ar independent candidate if the Democrats refuse to give him the nomination. He has prepared the following statement for for Democratic convention and giving req sons for entering the canvass:
 "It Is the settled policy of Collis P. Huntington to crush those he cannot con- trol. The most honorable position one can occupy in California is a place on his blacklist. His flat has gone forth that I shall never be permitted to hold office

Pigeons are carefully trained. The
young homer is taken half mile the
first day, mile the second, two miles
the third, and SO on, doubling the dis
lance each time. It must be liberated
each time only in the same direction as
to its loft, for bird can be trained
along only one route at time. When
40 miles have been reached, weeks
rest comes between. A hundred miles
are enough for young birds first year.
So essential is the training that old
birds are taken only two miles out for
the first lesson of season, though they
may have flown their 250 miles the
year preceding The end of the next
season, however, will, if the birds are
willing and the trainer patient, be
crowned by the accomplishment of a
400 mile flight. As you get higher in
the scale Of distance, longer and longer
rests are needed.
Male birds are generally used for
long distances. Family matters are apt
to engross the attention of the hen,
though she is still capable of good work
when she has a mind for it.-Good
Words.

Travellers in Burma see many strange
things, and perhaps one of the strangest
is the way in which some kinds of fruit
grow.
For instance, gooseberries that at
home grow on small bushes in this part
Of the world grow on trees over 20 feet
high They are not soft. pulpy fruit,
but are as hard as marbles.
The real Burman grapes also grow
ON high trees and not on vines They
hang from the branches and trunk of
the tree in clusters ON long stalk and
IRE covered with thick outer skin,
which cannot be eaten.
The cachou, or monkey nut, is also
peculiar and consists of a large, juicy
fruit of soft pulp with its nut or kernel
attached to the outside of the fruit at
the end farthest from the stalk from
which it hangs. Standard.

A Great Naval Duel.

Henceforward-tou use Nelson 8 words
about his own most desperate acction-
there was no maneuvering, there was
only downright fighting" and great as
was Jones unquestionable merit as a
handler of ships it was downright fight
ing endurance of the most extreme and
individual character that won this bat
tie. When thus in contact, the superior
ity Of the British eighteens over the
American twelves, though less than at
distance, was still great, but far
heavier disparity lay in the fabrics of
the two enemies. The Richard was q
very old ship, rotten, never meant for
naval use. The Scraps was new, on
her first commission. The fight hitherto
having engaged the port guns Of the
latter, the starboard lower gunports
were still closed, and from the ships
touching could not be opened. They
were therefore blown of, and the fight
went ON.
"A novelty in naval oombats was
now presented to many witnesses, but
to few admirers" quantity wrote Lieu
tenant Dale, who was in the midst Of
the scene below decks. 1.-THE hammers
were run into the respective ships to
enable the men to load''-that is, the
slaves of the hammers of one ship en-
tered the ports of the other as the guns
were being loaded. 1--WE became SO
close fore and aft, reported Pearson,
THAT the muzzles of our guns touched
each others sides, " and even SO, by the
testimony of the lieutenant on the lower
gun deck of the Scraps, her guns could
not be fully run out owing to the near
ness of the vessels.-Captain Mahan in

Tho ANTIQUITY of Glass.

Glass has been employed, we know,
both for decorative and domestic pur-
poses since the dawn of civilization.
The earliest remains date from Egypt
3064 B. O. and are preserved in the
British museum. 1t is an amulet, in the
form of a lions head, of Opaque blue
color. with hieroglyphics that determine
its date. On the rock cut tombs Of the
metropolis of Memphis glass blowers
were depicted as early as 5000 B. O.
Stories are told by Pliny, Josephus and
other writers to account for it's disooy-
cry, but these are very doubtful, SO that
we have only to rely upon facts attested
by actual remains
The discovery was doubtless fortui-
tous. Such lucky finds are often the
work of chance. When it occurred, we
cannot determine; but, so far as we
know, Egypt as she was the germ of
all civilization, was also the mother of
this art, which she applied to a multi
tude Of purposes, strangely excepting
that which we deem most necessary
namely, to admit light into buildings.
The jewellers by the Nile handed
down the art to the Phenioians, who
in like manner bequeathed it to the AS
syrians. Then it was passed along to
the Persians and the Greeks, then TO
the Romans and the Byzantines, who
in turn communicated it to the Vene-
tians. The monks of the middle ages
appropriated it to beautify their Gothic
temples, and SO it came down the centu-
ries to modern times Frank H. Vize-

FUN IN THE FooTNoTE.
Popular Librettist Couldn't withhold a
Joke on Prospective Bride.

Popular Librettist Couldn't withhold
Joke on Prospective Bride.
W. S. Gilbert does not retain all of
his humor for use in his librettos.
In the early days of his success. when
Gilbert and Sullivan were considered
by managers as the sure winners in
the comic opera field, young woman
who was member of one of the Pima
fore" companies wrote to Gilbert tell
ing him of her approaching marriage
with young man of good position and
family.
Gilbert congratulated the young wo-
man and expressed the hope that her fu-
ture might be prosperous and happy.
Only little more than month pass
ed, and another letter from the same
girl reached him, in which she stated
that her engagement with the young
man had been broken and that she had
accepted another sutton.
He replied that he had every conf
denoe in her Judgment and again ex-
pressed his hearty wishes for her well
fare
1t was almost two months after that
that Gilbert received third letter from
the same girl, who informed him that
young Lord - had proposed and that
she had accepted him after breaking
her engagement with No. 2.
Gilbert's humor could no longer
Withstand the temptation, and he wrote,
81 desire to congratulate you on your
approaching marriage With Here he
placed an asterisk and in a footnote
added:
Here insert the name of the happy
man.
This is probably as characteristic a
piece of humor as any that appears in
his "Bab Ballads or in his works for
the stage. New York Press.

Waiters and Mattresses.

Talking Of mattresses, New York
hotel keeper says that although they
may possess some superior qualities for
hand, such drawbacks as make it GER
tain that they would never be, accept
able to the majority of men who would
have to be served by them. He says:
81 think the objection to them would
be based chiefly on the fact that they
never show especial attention to any
person. / never knew woman who
waited on man to trouble herself in
the least about the manner in which
she served him. It makes absolutely no
difference whether they receive liberal
tips or not. They may be quiet, neat
and quick, but they would never pick
out one piece Of beef because it was
better than another or make any effort
to get the best Of what was to be had
In the kitchen. That sort of attention
makes man worth his fee to the men
who tip him.
''It is this special service that makes
a waiter superior to the best of his as
sooiates. Women never detect any Diff
ference between the quality of one dish
and another. They are all the same,
and good service requires merely that
they shall be set down noiselessly and
brought quickly. There the service of
the waitress ends She can beat any
man at those features of the business
But she cannot select for him anything
better than the rest of the customers
get. Usually she does not notice any
difference in them. That deficiency is
the safeguard of the waiter and will
keep his place secure for him.
