The nominations to he made by the
Anti-Addicksites depend entirely on
which faction controls the gathering.
If the du Pont people are on top DR.. l..
Heisler Ball Of Falkland will probably
be named Colonel tlu Pont absolutely
refuses to permit the endorsement Of
DR.. George w. Marshall already named
by the Union Republicans. Today's
convention could not name man more
obnoxious to Union Republicans than
DIR. Ball. All the Union Republican
leaders agree that Dr., Ball will not be
substituted for DIR. Marshall.
The Anti-du Pont men seem to have
centered more on the Congressional
nomination than the Governorship. The
opinion was advanced by one Anti-Ad-
dicks man at the East Side Republican
Association rooms last night that if the
Anti-du Pont faction got control of the
convention they may endorse DIR. Mar
shall for Governor. This is not thought
likely however. The Higgins aggrega-
ton have for several days slated George
S. Capelle for Governor. DIR. j. IL.
Chandler is also spoken of.
Martin B.. Burris who is talked of for
Governor said yesterday that he is
satisfied with the State treasurer nomi-
nation and it working to get the endorse
ment of today's convention.
1t is believed that Walter o. Hoffec-
lSer will be accepted as the short term
| Congressional nominee, Both du Pont
and Higgins factions favor the endorse
ment Of Herbert II. Ward for Attorney
General and John Hum for Lieutenant

yesterday that John HUM may be
named for Governor. Il is said that Mr.
Hum would refuse such a nomination

A Remarkable Sequel.

A little fun at the Birmingham post
office led to a remarkable sequel.
Among the postal packets was parcel
containing a pair of handouts, which
were being sent from Derby by man
ufacturer in Birmingham to be fitted
with key. The paper covering OF the
package had. during transit been bad
ly torn, with the result that when the
handouts reached the Birmingham
sorting officer they were exposed to
view. They were an object of curiosity,
and presently one of the clerks joeu-
larly elasped one of the cuffs round the
wrist of his left hand. To his dismay
there was no key to unfasten 1t, and
he therefore went to the central police
station. Here a key was found, but as
the officer was turning 1t it broke of
in the cuff The situation, at first COM
zeal. had now become really serious.
The broken key would have to be drill
ed out or the handcuff filed through be-
fore the clerk could be released from
his unpleasant circumference. But 1t
was Sunday, and no place of business
was open. The clerk therefore return
ed to the postoffice and explained his
plight to his superintendent, by whom
he was ordered to go to Derby by the
first train the next morning, explain
the whole circumstances to the owner
OF the handouts and apologize; and
then return to Birmingham and
proceed to the manufactures and have
the handcuff taken off.-South Wales

still craving his assistance, and at

"Oh, dinna KEN, said the boy, but
I'm sure O. something, for the folk up

AS they approached the house the
Duke disappeared from the boy and
entered by a different way. Calling
servant, he put a sovereign in his hand,
saying: Give that to the boy who
brought the cow" The Duke having
returned to the avenue, was soon re-
joined by the boy.

the Duke.

They went back. the Duke rang the
bell and ordered all the servants to be
assembled.
Now" said the Duke to the boy,
point me out the person that gave you
the shilling"
1T was that chap there, pointing to
the butler. The butler confessed, and
attempted an apology. but the Duke in

the sovereign. You have lost" said
the Duke, your money, your situation
and your character, by your coyetous-
ness; learn henceforth that honesty is

time recognized his assistant in the
person of the Duke, says the Weekly
Telegraph, and the Duke was so de-
lighted with the sterling worth and
honesty Of the boy that he ordered him
to be sent to school at his expense.
