Even as the worm turns, so Mr..

as his words recalled his own mutter-

should have received the sympathy
that was sometimes accorded to the

His only satisfactory listeners were
the old maids of the neighbOrhood, and

Blaine's last Candidacy.
The distinguishing feature Of the
Minneapolis convention of 1892 was the
unbOunded hospitality extended TO the
delegates and visitors. The town was
literally turned over to them. Citizens
left their comfortable homes, moving
into attics and servants quarters that
the guests might have the best the
city afforded. Nowhere has the ma
tiOnal convention been entertained in
so royal a manner.
The town was filed with politicians
for days before the meeting of the
convention. The Blaine men were in
line again for a long and strong pull
for the nomination. The Harrison
troops, already in the saddle, were de-
ternined on another four years run. 1t
was a battle of the ''inS" and outs"
and the Gins" won. Nearly all the
strife occurred out Of convention hours.
Nothing could excel the intensity of
feeling which animated the struggling,
contending crowd. This may sound
like a report of a riot, but no one who
saw the wild and uncomfortable com
batants who rallied and fought for
their leaders in the West house. the

Nuisance of Water Hyacinths.

1t is gratifying to learn that there
has been a chemical invented which,
it is claimed, is sure death to the wat
er hyacinths that have done so much
injury to navigation on the st. Johns
river in Florida, and other rivers
throughout that state as we'll as in
Louisiana. 1t appears that this chem
ical has been used in the drainage
canals of the Bayou Bonfouca, which
at one timewas so thoroughly blocked
with the vegetable growth as to render
the bayou unnavigable. The liberal
use of this chemical entirely freed this
bayou and the canals named of this
floating pest. The expense of this
treatment. however is too great for
private parties to incur, but it is be-
lieyed that the Government should
take the matter up and rid these nav
igable streams of this great detriment
to navigation through the use of this
new invention of determination.

To Iceland in a Private Yacht.

Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Gould, with a
small party OF friends, will make an
extended cruise in foreign waters in
Mr.. Gould's steam yacht, the Niagara,
during the coming season. Overhaul
ing and refitting her for the long trip
abroad has occupied several weeks, and
by the end of the present month the
big vessel will be ready for sea.
Mr.. Goulds general plans for the
cruise promise quite an interesting
yachting period to those on board the
yacht as proved to be the case during
the prolonged absence in foreign wat
ers last year of the Niagara, when In
14l days she steamed more than H.
900 nautical miles.
In many respects the coming cruise
of the Niagara will be quite as pleas
ant as that Of last year. The yacht
will leave port during the first week in
May and proceed to Queenstown, after
which the party will visit the Lakes of
Killarney. That done in not too hur-
ried manner, they will return to the
yacht, which will go to Southampton.
Then London will be visited, and the
length of the stay there will depend
upon circumstances,
The Niagara will next cross the
channel to Cherbourg, where Mr.. and
Mrs. Gould and their guests will pro-
ceed to Paris for the exposition. Con-
siderable time will, of course, be given
to that. Then they will return to the
yacht. From Cherbourg Mr.. Gould's
plans are not yet perfected, but it is
believed that Iceland will be visited,
as the party upon leaving New York
will be prepared for very cold weather.
The Niagara will be in the best of
shape when she sails. Since her return
from abroad last year much has been
done to the yacht, although she then
seemed complete in all departments.

ducive to the safety OF such vessels

Oil Luck in Indiana.

Indianapilos, May 20.-The Diamond
Oil Company, OF this city, has refused
an offer of $4,000 for its crude petrol
cum property in the Godfrey Indian
Reservation, in Blackford county. The
offer was not given a moments con-
sideration. The lease only covers 1S4
acres, and the first well was drilled in
August, 1896. The company now has
20 wells producing crude oil. The
firm includes A. r. White w. s.
Wickard, w. l.. Schomberg, L. M. El-
liott and Louis F. Buschmann, of this
city. None of them had any previous
experience in the oil drilling business.
So far the company has taken out $780,
900 barrels of oil, and it has received
from the Standard Oil Company near
ly 100000. Cash dividends of $4,000
have been distributed among the five
stockholders. The present income is
over $4,000 per month, while the ex-
penses are about $100. The lease is on
farm belonging to August Meyer.
Previous to the discovery of oil 1t
could have been purchased for $40 an
acre. So far Mr.. Meyer has received
100000 royalty and still owns the farm
His income now is $500 per month, be-
sides the agricultural resources. 1t is
the most successful oil speculation
in the Indiana field, and it is particu-
larly CALLING to John T. Brush and his
associates, who hold leases in the i'm

Restoring Mount Vernon.


Once each year the Lady Regents of
Mt. Vernon, Va. meet at that histor-
ical old homestead and discuss plans
for the Improvement of the grounds
and mansion. and the further restora-
ton of the place to Its original appear
ance, so for as may be possible. Each
state in the Union has, or should have,
lady regent, and the Governor of
Virginia sends to meet with them
each year a board of visitors. The 1900
meeting took place last week and clos
ed with luncheon in George Wash
ington's library and on the adjoining
veranda. Typical Virginia servants
of the old school, in their neat gowns
and bandannas, prepared and assisted
in serving the feast.
The spacious hallway, one of the
most picturesque features Of Mt Yer
pon,is now finished in a delicate shade
of colonial blue, with white trimmings
while the wall near the staircase in
the hall above is papered as 1t was
during Washington's time.
This restoration was partly owing to
an accident. While the decorators
some years ago were scraping away
the paper, after removing layer upon
layer they came to this design next to
the wall. The precious discovery was
carefully removed and piece just
large enough to outline the pattern
was sent to a New York decorator,
who had the same wall paper made in
identically the same .colors and de-
sign.
The late Miss Leila Herbert, who
succeeded her mother as Vice Regent
of Alabama, cherished the hope of
some day having the hall fully restor-
ed to the condition prevailing in the
time of Washington. After Miss Her.
bert's death the Vice Regent of Mich
igan, Mrs. Rathbone, took up the work
and carried it through.
Now that Texas has restored the old
entrance to the north gate as it was
during the lifetime of Washington,
with picturesque archway and two
small houses and generous donation,
and steam heating plant, at cost of
IS, 1900, and an artesian well have been
added, there remains practically moth
ing TO be done in the out-of-door i'm
provements save the restoration of the
brick wall. a portion of the foundation
of which still remains, and this matter,
has been considered by the council this
year as the next improvement.
From the original plans and draw
ings Of Mt. Vernon as was in Colonial
and Revolutionary days, brick wall
five feet in height forms one of the
most conspicuous features. This ex-
tends from the summer house on the
east to the stable, the entirewidth of
the front lawn, and from the pictur-
esque low-eaved stable to the kitchen
on the north, and from that to the ice
house still further beyond, making a
complete inclosure of the front lawn.
Mrs. Phoebe Hurst, the Vice Regent
from California, contributed $25 a year
to the building of the sea wall, which,
when finished, will add greatly to the
health and sanitation of the place.
A number Of ladies are also anxious
to contribute to the improvement of
the old Pohick church, where General
and Mrs. Washington worshipped
much of the time. Every Sunday dur
ing the council the Regents and Vice
Regents attend this church, one of the
old landmarks of this part of Virginia
