The State Convention has met ano
adjourned. Its proceedings were
characterized py harmony, anu re
fiecting as they seem to have done
the wishes of the majority OF the
democrats of the State. those who

ton or rejection.
The action of the State Convention
in regard to constitutional conven.
ton, as set forth in a resolution III
troduced by Mr.. Glass and adopted
by a vote of 10 to Z, if not altogether
satisfactory to all the democrats OF
the State, has nothing in it which
will make them unwilling to bow to
the will of the majority. AS summarize
ed by the Dispatch, that resolution
endorsed the action of the General
Assembly providing for a special elec-
ton on May Gath. and earnestly urges
the people to vote for the convention
practically promises that no white
man shall be DISTINGUISHED, and that
the work Of the constitutional con-
vention shall be submitted to the
vote of the people for ratification. 1t
promises also that the cost oil
the convention shall be reduc
ed to the lowest possible amount.
The meaning of this is, that an extra
session of the Legislature will not be
called unless the necessities OF the
situation positively demand it. How
ever it leaves the authorities free to
act upon that question in the light
of future developments"

The chairman OF the Democratic
National Committee claims, that 800
of the $50 delegates to the Kansas
City Convention will be pledged to
Mr.. Bryan and that any movement
to circumvent Mr.. Bryan's nomina-
ton in the interest of Cleveland or
anyone else can amount to nothing,
even though such an astute politician
as Mr.. German favors the scheme.
The nomination of Mr.. Bryan is so
we'll assured, that no man is so blind,
that he cannot see it, and any move
ment to defeat his nomination by a
democrat can only mean that he is
willing to help along to success the
republican party by producing dis
cord in his own party. In the next
Presidential campaign the choice will
be between Bryan and Mckinley
and every democrat will know which
he prefers of the two candidates.

The business manager Of the Prod
nee Exchange movement on the
Eastern Shore. at a large and enthusi'
astic meeting of farmers at Belle
Haven on Saturday last, reported a
membership of more than a thousand
farmers and daily accessions to the
number, that information received
yby him from every section OF the
country in which our staple products
were wanted and co nsumed was full
of encouragement and convinced him
that every barrel of our produce,
properly handled, could be sold Oh
the most advantageous terms, and
that he had no doubt that the sue
cess of the movement for better
prices was assured beyond all doubt,
if the members of the Exchange al
ready enrolled gave him the support
and stood by the organization as ne
believed and had the right to expect
they would.
That the people are in earnest III
the matter convincing proof seems to
be furnished in the weekly meetings
reported through our columns from
most of the sections OF the Eastern
Shore. That they will stand by the
organization, what ever the obstacle 4,
which may confront them and de-
spite the predictions of certain com
mission merchants to the contrary
we believe. 1t would be an insult u
the intelligence of our people for III
TO believe otherwise. They have
suffered too much in the past to ALLOW
themselves to become the dupes OF
Jew who threaten by the use o
money to destroy their organization

Old Prindall had always recognized this
same truth. His neighbors might be
amazed, but he saw nothing fantastic In
the rich young mans proposal for Dor
othy's brown hand.
And so the fsherman's daughter be-
came bride. When the Norman family
heard OF 1t they were profoundedly
shocked. The old gentleman showed q
tendency to take to his bed. He was de-
termined by letter from Hugh promis-
ing that when they met his Dorothy she
would capture all their hearts
So she did. THAT Lass o. PrindalYs''
entered upon a Newport career that has
no parallel in the history Of that town
She was above criticism, because she
was nature itself. Her high spirits wero
refreshing, and so was her frank delight
In the novelty Of her environment. She
had so much native refinement and tact
that she quickly mastered the elements
of social behavior, and her originality of
mind did the rest. Society hailed here as
an acquisition.
Hugh Norman's affection for his bride
made great change In him for a time
but his nature was too unstable to be
permanently improved, and the time came
when the hshermans daughter wished
that she had never left the sleepy shore
of Gloucester. Outwardly her lot was an
enviable one. She would not have been
her 1atnerP daughter II she had not be-
como the best yachtwoman In society,
Practice had made her a skilful whip.
Her own wit made her the center Of a
gay court. But nothing could compen-
safe for the falling away Of her hus-
band.
They started for Europe together, but
he returned alone, leaving her with her
mother. A couple of years ago she began
proceedings for divorce, but the Norman
family, who were warmly attached to
her, persuaded her TO withdraw them A
separation was arranged, and since that
time Hugh Norman's vagaries have been
more conspicuous than ever.
Norman the elder died Of heart disease
on Feb. 4. His will has Just been filed
for probate in Newport There are cash
requests to each of the nine children.
Hugh's is the smalEest-S20, 000 The resi-
due Of the estate is left in trust to George
II. Norman Jr., to manage according to
his own discretion, paying the widow
$4,000 year. and dividing the remainder
of the income into nine equal parts for
the nine children.
But the trustee has the option of pay
ing Hugh's share to Hugh's wife or chill
9ren or any person WHATSOEVER, accord
ing to his judgment; and Hugh is denied
the privilege Of beQueathing his income.

for reflection Of his own qualities.
Hugh disliked work. He approved Of
his fathers industry. since 1t created a
great pile of money which 1t would be
great fun to spend. but he utterly failed
to understand that he was under any OBJ

So 1t was with reluctance that he be-
