means committee Of the Democratic ma
tional committee. His appointment
was announced by w. j. Stone yester-
day, it being one of the features Of the

another feature is the elevation into
great prominence of j. G. johnson of
Kansas, he being made chairman Of the

able as on the merits of the question it
would be i~nexcusable. To whatever
dispatch or conditions President Kru-
gers defiant remark referred, it has
brought home sharply the keen posi-
bility Of an impending war against no
weakened adversary. 1t is said that
with recruits from over the borders the
Transvaal would have about 1000 men
at it's disposal, whereas the most the
British now could throw on the frontier
would be 10000, though Of course this
number would be materially increased

DUBUQUE, Aug. 30.-Idolita, owned
by Frank Jones of Portsmouth, N. H.,
pulled down the rich share of the Horse
Review stake for trotters yesterday.
The little bay walked away from her
field in each of the three heats and won
hands down. The purse wa worth
$4,000 and was the third Of q series of
futurity offerings put up by John O.
Baur of Chicago. Yesterdays race
was the fastest 3-year-old futurity ever
trotted. The first heat was made in
the following time: :33, LOG, l:40.
2:12H.
This was the fastest Of the three heats
and equalled the ~3-year-old record in a
class trot made at Louisville last year.
The money was divided as follows:
Idolita, $4,000; Extasy, owned by ri.
Q. Mcdowell of Lexington, 81, 800; Rita

was eve in danger Of losing the race.
He led all the way in the first heat.
Coming down the stretch, Extasy chal-
lenged the leader, but broke so feet
from the wire and lost what looked like
a chance for the first honors Of the heat,
Crystalline broke at the start and, with
Logan, was distanced. In the second
heat Extasy broke again, this time at
the quarter. Idolita went out to the
front and took things easy. There was
a hard struggle from the half pole te
the wire between Rita 3 and Days

Pitiable Scene at Cape Town.

LONDON, Aug. 3o.-The Cape Town
correspondent Of the Daily Mail, says:
ga pitiable scene was witnessed at the
railway station today OH the arrival
from Johannesburg of 100 children
whose parents are too poor to come
themselves. 1t is estimated that Ii, 900
people have left the Transyaal since the
crisis began. Bechuanaland is in a
state Of ferment owing>to the fears of a
Boer raid. General Powell's force is
wholly inadequate to protect such an
extended frontier and the Beers appear
to be quietly assembling in the west part
of the Transvaal. A Boer spy has been
arrested in Ramattabampa, in British
Bechuanaland.

JUDGE PATRICK IN SECOND PLACE
Platform Declares Against Expansion and
the War in the Philippines-Chicago
Platform Reaftirmed and Bryan Sup
ported-Anti-Trust Plank Adopted.

y EVANSVILLE, o., Aug. 31.-The Dem
ocratic state convention closed last night
after a day of dramatic politics. While
there were a half dozen other candi-
dates for governor, the Mclean men
claimed everything with such conf
dence that they undertook to be mag
unanimous in minor parts, although they
were at the same time careful that the
star candidate was not eclipsed. They
stated early in the day that the first bal
lot would have none of ssthe second
choice vote fors Mclean, that none Of
the reserves would be called out till the
second ballot, and that all the candi-
dates would have their respective votes
on the first ballot. In this play Nc
Lean was nominated on the first ballot
by a half vote, and the figuring was SO
close chat the dramatic scene of changes
on the second ballot with .'second
choice reserves hocking to McLean's
standard did not take place. 1t is
claimed that Mclean could have had
478 votes out of the 500 on the first bal
lot, instead of 1929, and that he would
have had over 500 on the second ballot.
At any rate the delegates all voted for
their local favorites ON the first ballot,
and thus the program of complimenting
them was carried out without the leader
drawing from any of his competitors.
Among the shrewdest plays in the
drama wa the motion to amend the re-
port on permanent organization, SO as to
continue the temporary organization.
Judge Mooney made such a good inn
preston that all wanted him for perma-
nent chairman.
The convention much Of the time was
beyond the control of the ~sergeant-at-
ton was properly represented in its
platform, and the keynote speech Of
Judge Mooney. The name Of Bryan
was cheered whenever it was
toned. The convention showed demon
STATIONS over free silver and imperial
ism, anti-bossism and all the indict-
ments in the speech of Judge Mooney
and in the platform. The recess from 8
to a p. m. was taken to confer with
Colonel James Kilbourne for second
place on the ticket and the recess was
continued in vain till 5 p. m. for that
purpose. When the convention cas-
sembled there were attempts to nomi-
nate Kilbourne, Notwithstanding his
repeated destinations, and his friends
withdrew his name as fast as the Nc
Lean men presented it.
The resolutions reaffirm the Chicago
platform, especially the financial plank,
favor the nomination Of Bryan in 1900,
declare opposition to Imperialism and
the war in the Philippines, denounce
trusts. favor the initiative and referen-
dunn and election of president, vice
president and senators by direct vote.

Indian Meal n Luxurv

European agriculturists have not vet
given up hope of raising Indian corn
as a food product. They have relin-
pushed their original idea OF growing
it to compete with other grain in pro-
ducing cheap meal for the masses.
They want to make 1t an article of
luxury for the wealthy mans table. A
special kitchen is to be provided in
the coming Paris exposition for in
struction in preparing all kinds of In
dian meal dishes. Pamphlets contain
ing many recipes and printed in all
European languages will be distribut-
ed The agricultural department Of
France is back of the scheme.

soAP-MAkING IN JAPAN.
The Domestic Industry Increaslng
Rapidly Imported.


Rapidly-Wrappers Imported.
The demand for soap increases pro-
portionately with the development OF
society," says the Japan Weekly Times.
The aggregate value of soap consumed
at present in this country is estimated
at about 100000 yen, according to the
original cost fixed by the manufac-
turer. In early times the people de-
pended on foreign supplies and though
the article was duly manufactured
here. still fictitious label in imitation
of foreign soap had to be affixed to it
ere 1t could find sale in Japan. Since
then. however, great improvements
have been effected, and the value of
the manufacture has considerably in
creased. At present Japanese soap
rivals the imported article, both in
quantity consumed and in quality
There are some sixty or seventy soap
manufactures in Tokyo, which supply
the home demand whose output aggre-
gates in value to some 100000 yen an
nually. Other manufactures in Osaka
and Kobe not only supply the demand
for soap at home, but also export it to
Korea and China. But while, as is evil
dent, we need not any longer depend
for the supply from abroad. in reality
soap is still imported into this country
though not in large quantities. 1t is
because the ingredients of soap being
always the same, its manufacturing
cost cannot exceed or sen piece.
nc t.
prices varying from san tc yen or
more apiece. But these prices have
also to cover the expenditure on wrap
pers and fancy boxes. Perhaps there
is nothing that SO exemplties the truth
of the well-known adage, 'Embellish
your wares for sale" as soap. Custom
ers do not merely buy it for the sake
of its quality, but they desire it on
account of the beautiful designs
printed on the wrapping papers or
boxes. Though such designs may be
prepared in our country to some ex-
tent, yet those that cost so sen or l yen
apiece cannot be made here. This is
not, however, a fault on the part Of
our manufacturers, because their ina
bility to make such designs is entirely
owing to the imperfect state of design
ing and printing industries in our
country, and it would therefore not pay
our soap manufacturers to prepare
these embellishments for soap under
the existing circumstances. This is the
reason why we are still obliged to de-
pend on the supply of soap from
abroad. in spite of the prosperity Of
our soap manufacturing trade. There
is another question that may be raised
In connection with it. 1t is, why do We
still depend on the foreign supply Of
common soap, its manufacture being
SO very easy? Because in foreign coun-
tries it can be manufactured at lower
cost than here. where we must depend
on the supply of original material
from abroad.

New version of an Ancient Story

A welcome variant on an ancient,
ancient story comes from Atchison,
Kan. To young man, who stood
smoking a cigar on the corner of a
street in that city, there approached
the elderly and impertinent reformer
of immemorial legend. How many
cigars day do you smoker" asked the
licensed meddler in other peoples af-
fairs. Three" replied the youth, as
patiently as he could. Then the in
QUESTION continued. How much do
you pay for them?" Ten cents each"
confessed the young man. Don't you
know, SIR" continued the sage, "that
if you would save that mony by the
time you are as old as am you would
own that big building on the corner?"
do you own it?" inquired the smoker.
NO" replied the old man. well, l
do" said the young man.-New York

WHY ROBIN HAS A RED BREAST
One of Christ's Comforters When He
Hung on the Cross.

One Of Christ's Comforters When He
Hung on the Cross.
Birds played part at the cruclfixion,
according to legend. After Jesus had
been nailed to the cross two birds came
and alighted on the extended arms of
the instrument of death. One was a
maybe, with beautiful aigrette on it's
mead and long, waving tail, then the
handsomest of birds, but the wickedest,
chirping insults at the suffering Jesus.
The other bird was modest little bird,
with gray plumage, which approached
the cross timidly, uttering cries of
grief. With it's wings it tried to wipe
away the binding sweat and blood
from the face of Jesus, while with its
beak it tried to pluck away one of the
thorns which wes piercing Jesus fore
head. single drop of blood fell on
the breast of the plying little gray
bird, and gave the world the robin red
breast And to it Jesus said: Blessed
be thou, little bird which sharest my
sorrows. May joy accompany thee ev-
erywhere. Thine eggs shall be as blue
(
bird of God bearer of good tidings.
AS for thee" said he to the magpie,
thou shalt be an accursed bird. Thou
shalt lose that brilliant aigrette and
the beautiful colors on which thou
pridest myself so highly Funeral
bird, thy message shall be only evil,
and the rain from heaven shall always
fall into thy nest" The peasants OF
France, in accordance with this tradi-
ton, pierce the heart of a maybe with
thorn whenever they catch one. In
Spain the swallow is considered the
good bird, and they say that when the
Roman soldiers pressed the crown of
thorns on Jesus brow the swallows
came and tried to remove the thorns
with their beaks. The Russians say
that the swallows took away the nails
which the executioners had brought, but
the sparrows carried them back again.
The Danish say that the moment Of
the crucifixion the stork, moved with
pity cried "Styrkhain! Styrkhain!"
(God give him strengthD and since
that time the stork has been consider
ed sacred. 1t is also stated that Lon
ginus, the Roman soldier who pierced
the side of Jesus with the spear, was
converted on account of the blood
which fell upon him. This was due
to the cleansing power of that blood,
according to the church, and his eyes
were thus opened to the beauty of ho-
liness.-Philadelphi Inquirer

Magnetic Disturbances in Russia.

The Russian province Of Kursk
proves to be one of the most remarka-
BILE areas of magnetic disturbances yet
known. Mr.. Mourcanx reports that the
differences between theory and obser-
walton are so great that it is not pos
sible to draw isonagnetic lines, and
the magnetic force is as great as it
would be in the immedi..te vicinity of
the magnetic poles. The dip of the
needle ranges from 4S to 70 degrees.
At two points, about $50 yards apart,
the destinations are minus II degrees
and plus As degrees, and the variation
at two places about mile and quar-
ter apart is from minus "a degrees to
plus SO degrees. Ne.hing near the sur
face to cause these anomalies is known
to exist.
