SHORT-ENDERS
WILL HOLD A
PRIVATE CAUCUS.
Plan Of Action Proposed for
Thirty by a Dozen.
To Receive the Fighting First-Governor' s
Mansion Not Msnson But Residence
Guardsmen All Right.

A dozen men who since the beginning
of the session have voted for candidates
other than the two leaders in the Sen
atorial race, held a rather informal
meeting yesterday afternoon in one OF
the rooms on the third floor of the Cap
itol building. and there outlined plan
by which they allege to hope to gath
er the members who have heretofore
voted for Bulla, Barnes, Scott, BARD,
FELTON, and Estee into one group and
center their votes on one particular
candidate.
The members present were Senators
Morehouse, Stratton, Simpson and
I4uchsinger, and Assemblymen Melick,
Belshaw, Knowland, Atherton, Valen-
tine, Miller of Los Angeles, Conrey and
Boynton No organization was effected
or even attempted, but plans drawn
and presented by Assemblyman Melick
were considered at some length and
finally approved by all present. The
agreement follows in full:
THE AGREEMENT.
*sFirst-That all Republicans not vot-
ing for Grant or Burns meet in confer
ence and
"Second-Decide to stand together on
some one of the minority Republican
Senatorial candidates.
s"Third-Decide who of the minority
candidates has a majority.
"Fourth-Agree to stand together for
that candidate until a majority shall
release them.
'Fifth--Vote in the joint conference
for that candidate and work for re-
cruits from other forces.
.Sixth-If the joint convention will
not agree to one candidate then return
to the conference and take up another
Republican minority candidate.
In this way we shall prove that we
are not holding out for any political
favorite but are willing to support any
outside of Grant and Burns whom We
believe are not desired by the Repub-
lican voters of the State.''
1t is understood that all of the cam
didates mentioned, with the possible ex-
ception of General Barnes, who is said
to incline to the belief that Bulla's
strength would possibly make him the
candidate, have expressed a willing
ness to abide by this caucus rule.
1t will be seen at a glance that the
dozen who approved the agreement
have practically committed themselves
to caucus rule-the rule of the major
ity. The primary principle of the eau
Gus obtains as well where dozen or
thirty men meet, as if there were
hundred, and those men willing to en-
ter minority caucus, virtually bind
themselves to the general principles of
the bowling to the wish of the majority.
GRANTS CONTINGENT CAUCUS.
The followers of Grant met in caucus
IN the parlors of the Golden West Ho-
tel last night, and again decided NOT
TO enter caucus. 1t was further
agreed to keep on voting for their can
didate

According to DR. Harlanson. the

the lining membrane of the nose be-

A buzZard. who found Il fr'SSAy killed
hare and was about to bear IL away to
a tree top to be eaten at leisure, was
addressed by a fox who came running
up with:
"Ah. now, but l mistook you for the

did so the wolf came up and observed:
"Well, we'll, but who evc saw til"

as today? Really. now. but | took you
for the condor"
That tickled the buZZard again. and
to show her good will she divided the

had said that she must be off, when

claimed:
Upon my word. but | must have

going to ask her for a feather. Mrs.

The buzzard grinned and giggled
and tried to look shy, and meanwhile
the jackal ate up the other half OF the
hare.
"Hcre-hOw's this-where's my

got to see what had happened.

Watering the Milk.

The milkmen OF Naples have a way
of carrying concealed in their waist.
coats bladders full Of water.
From these bladders india rubber
tubing stretches down their arms, and
by simply pressing their sides while
they are drawing the milk they are
able to squirt water from the bladder
into the jug or basin simultaneously
with the milk. So it Is quite a COM
mon plan for a woman who Is getting
her jug filed with milk to hold the
milkman's wrists while he milks his
COW or goat. Until the, stranger Il
the reason explained to him he thinks
1t very odd to see women c%rouching
down by the milkman, keeping a tight
hold on to each of his wrists.-San

Bear Batting In Olden Days.

the festivities at the election Of the
mayor. being held before his worship
started for church. Ladies' commonly
attended in great numbers. There was
q famous bear at Liverpool, which
showed such grand sport in 1852 that
certain fair admirers presented it with
q garland, decked it with ribbons. and
carried it to the theater. where q spe-
cfal entertainment had been COM

How Dumas Amused Himself.

An interesting anecdote Of the elder
Dumas. illustrating the authors peren-
NAL flow Of fine spirits, has been told.
A gentleman. calling on the creator Of
Monte Cristo." had been ushered into
a room adjoining the hosts studio, the
servant telling him to go in. as M. Du.
mas was alone.
At that moment (says the narrator) !
heard a loud burst Of laughter from the
inner apartment. so l said:
81 would sooner wait until monsieur's
visitors are gone"
Monsieur has no visitors; he Is
working" remarked the servant. with
a smile. Monsieur Dumas very often
laughs like this while at his work.
1t was true enough; the novelist was
alone. or rather In company with one
of his characters. at whose sallies he
was simply roaring.
