Afternoon Session.

1.30 O'Clock.
Afternoon Session.
Friday afternoons Democratic Con-
vention was a rather smooth one, and
the troubles of the party were ironed out
after fashion.
Betchner created some CONSERVATION
among the managers by refusing point
blank to take the Senatorial nomination.
Every effort was made to get him to re-
tract his decision, but he was steadfast.
1t was just ten minutes of two O'Clock
when things were fixed up and Tempo
rary Chairman Grosscup called the after
noon session to order.
In moment more the temporary Or
ganization was made permanent, Mr..
Grosscup being Chairman, DR.. Samuel
Butcher and H c. Bartlett, Secretaries,
with the same Vice Presidents as named
this morning.
Chairman Grosscup made a very pretty
speech. 1t was tempered with delicate,
sweet morsels which pleased the Conveu-
ton. He brought out little hand-clap-
ping when he mentioned the name of
Elvin w. Crane, and much more when
he spoke of Candidate Samuel Iredell.
Candidate for Congress, Iredell, pre-
seDted the resolutions, which were
adopted He showed that the resolutions
were the product of his pen by starting
off with declaration that the Conven-
ton endorse the principles of Democracy
as laid down in the platform of 1896, at
Chicago. The applause at this point was
the g, ent of the afternoon, and the dele
gates shouted "Thats the stuff" 1t was
a Bryan gathering. The platform then
condemned the extravaganza of the small
courts, the expense of Jail; charged that
Republican legislators from this county
had failed to keep.promises to the labor
interests, and declared against the sys-
tenn of store orders.
The convention then made up it's
Executive Committee, as follows: Bridge
ton lst ward. George Hampton, James
b. Vanleer; End ward, Harry R. Dare,
Rob.. Brokell; Sd ward, Samuel Iredell,
Henry Bauer; 4th ward, Joseph A.

ward, Wilson Stewart, William Gragin;
4th ward, Thos. G. Matticks; Vineland.
M. M. Dewitt, James Craig; Stoe Creek, |
Theo. Ware.
The chairman then called for nomina-
tion of candidate for Senator, and the |
roll was called. Every precinct in the |
county was called, and nobody volun-
teered to suggest name.
There was silence after the roll call for |
a short time, and then Secretary Bartlett |
started over again.
John f. Johnson, of the First ward.
came to the rescue, and named George
w. Betchner, of the Third ward, Bridge
ton.
Mr.. Betchner addressed the chair, and
said that he refused to have his name go |
before the convention for any office !

ton that the city court ought not to
be emasculated without a unanimous
decision from the higher court. Judge
Hurt, he said, dissented from the 9th
er two members of the court of ap-
peals, to the extent of holding that
the police court could acquire jurisdlc-
ton by legislative act providing for
prosecutions in the name of the state.
Should this decision be relied upon, re
lief will probably be sought in the
amendment of city charters.
Sheriff Baker of this county is anX-
ious to see the jurisdiction of the po-
lice courts restored. He has endea-
vored to do the work formerly done
by the police of the city, but the eff
fort has almost exhausted himself and
deputies. He will aid the chiefs of
police and city marshals in their eff
forts to restore the jurisdiction of the
city courts.
The afternoon session of the City
Marshals' and Chiefs of Police union
was convened at o'clock. The dis
cussion of topics was cut short by a
motion to refer all subjects to commit
tees for report before discussion,

may be some sadness, because It is un-
timely, and out of season. Gray hairs are
a crown of honor to the aged, but to the
young they are a stigma. There is no need
to be gray in youth. Grayness comes from
deficiency Of the coloring matter which
gives the hair its natural tint This color
ing matter can be supplied artifcially
and is SO supplied by Dr. j. c. Ayers Hair
Vigor. 1t is by supplying the lacking
pigment that Dr. Ayers Hair Vigor re-
stores gray or faded hair to it's original
color. Beyond this, it makes the hair
grow, gives 1t gloss and sottness, stops
1t from falling, removes dandruh, aud
cleanses the scalp. Mrs. {. NJ. Ayres,
Mount Airy, Ca. writes:
"About three years ago, my head became
full of dandruh, which caused great an
noyance; after time the hair began
falling out. The use of DR.. ]. c. Ayers
Hair Vigor stopped the hair from falling
out, and made the scalp clean and healthy"

Waco, Texas, June 9.--The Chiefs of
Police and City Marshal's Union was
called to order yesterday morning by
First Vice President NJ. j. inland of
Corpus Christi.
Rev. Frank Page, rector of st. Paul's
Episcopal church, Invoked divine bles-
sings.
Mayor C. G. McCulloch of Waco well
coined the delegates in a brief adj
dress. President inland responded
briefly, thanking the mayor and chief
of police for the cordial reception ten
dered the chiefs.
After calling the roll the convention
adjourned till o'clock out of respect
to the late Chief Arnold of Dallas,
president of the union.
The absorbing question with The
Chiefs of Police and City Marshnls'
Union now in session in this city, is
the question of the jurisdiction of the
police courts of the various cities of
the state. Since the court of criminal
appeals decided that the city courts
had no jurisdiction in criminal cases
provided for in the state code. there
has been a tendency in the cities to
cut down the police forces. leaving
only enough men to handle violators of
the municipal laws. In Waco this
course was taken in April, and as a
result the city is not properly patroli-
ed, especially at night. and there is
perceptible increase in burglary. theft
and offenses over which the city prior
to the late decision exercised julisdic-
ton. The sheriff's and constable
departments are alert, and perform
their duty with proper dispatch, but
they have not men enough to patrol
the city, their forces being limited ty
law, and the only relief the afford is
in running down the criminals after
the commission of the crime.
The chiefs will endeavor to have the
| jurisdiction of the city courts restor-
ed. If this shall require constitu-
tional amendment, a committee will
be appointed to petition the next legis-
/ lature to submit such an amendment

A FAMILY FAILING.
The struggle with Heredity.

TO heredity, TO the transmission Of
traits from sire to son, we owe most of the
possibilities of growth and developm MT
II each newly born being started out anew
without the force of heredity the level
OF life might be expected to be that of the
digger Indian or Bushman. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good. Peculiarities
of feature, excentricities of speech and
manner, birth marks, etc, are handed
down just as surely as manual deXterity,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and the mental and moral qualities in
general. "A curious example of this de-
scent of family traits is furnished by Mrs
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ca, in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes;
"Gray hair is hereditary in our family.
As long as can recollect, my mothers hair
has been gray. About twelve years ago,
my hair began to show signs OF turning.

news.
The United States consulate has
been crowded all day.
The American consul, Mr. Wildman,
has been the recipient of hundreds of
congratulatory notes, for the junta
gives him almost as much credit for
the reported fall of Manila as they give
to Aguinaldo himself, since Mr.. Wild
man has been their answering cham
pion and has advised in all their
plans.
Consul Wildman does not consider
the report that Manila has been ac-
tually occupied, but he believes it will
be at or before next Sunday. The Span
iards have been fighting desperately,
but their craftsmanship is poor, and
they have lost heavily.
Madrid, June 9.-It is rumored that
the Spanish garrison at Manila, rather
than be massacreed by the insurgents,
preferred to yield to the Americans as
prisoners of war.
General Correa, minister Of war, de-
clares that Captain General Augusta
will defend himself to the last.

To get married on Saturday is the

standing open mouthed with astonish-
ment at this new idea, for if there has
been these last twenty years any one
day regarded as peculiarly inapnropri.
ate and unlucky for weddings. that day
has been Saturday, But of Il sudden
Saturday has been seized on as the day
of all days for the most elaborate
bridais OF the moment The most i'm
portant weddings OF the summer have
been set for that day of the week, and
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday have
been cast quite into the shade
What has brought this change OF
feeling about among the brides can
hardly be- told. Besides the prejudice
that has always existed against Satur-
day itself it has long been the custom
to nave marriages. take place in the
early part of the week Tuesday and
Wednesday have been very favorite
days. Only those people as Il rule whu
