whose invitation Is accepted TO leave
a large surplus over and above all nee
essz expenses for the use of the ma
tional committee in the campaign fol-
lowing. and this makes the party man
ayers unwilling to say definitely what
actual convention expenditures were.
and, perhaps, prevents the adoption OF
strict requirements as TO, the account
ing for those expenditures
OF course, all the convention man
ayers say that there can be no fixed
schedule Of convention expenses, be-
cause every convention is different
from every other convection. Altera-
tions in the hall might make the bill
of expenses differ by 5000 or sf0.-
900 from the convention of the other
party in the same year or from a con-
vention before or after In a rough
way it is possible to make a pretty
good estimate of expenses for what
might be called an average convention
by comparing such fragments of in
formation as the party managers are
willing TO give on the subject.
Certain things are expected by every
national committee OF the city which
has he honor to entertain the con-
vention. Ii must, OF course. provide
the hall and whatever alterations are
necessary. and the seats and other fur
niture, and the decorations and a num-
ber OF incidentals, such as stationery
II must pay the expenses OF engrav-
ing the tickets and providing the
bands OF music for the convention
proceedings.
II must provide for the entertain
ment OF the national committee as
body, with a large suite OF the best
hotel rooms as headquarters" /" and the
rule is to provide for the entertain
ment of the Individual members of the
committee as well. The ordinary DEL
egates must pay their own expenses
or have them paid by their state or
ganization- All they get are a few
tickets of admission each for their
friends, which in some cases have been
sold TO meet personal expenses.
The proceedings of the convention
are always reported by stenozraphers
and published afterward in full. and
this is done at the expense OF the host
city. Carriages and other convent
ences, luncheons and other eatables
and drinkables are among the other
items which may be In the convention
expenses. As rule the national COM
mittee is asked the highest prices and
does not hesitate TO pay them for
whatever it thinks necessary.
If the hall has to be rented the rem
tai may vary from $4,000 to 5000. II
alterations have to be made. as is al
most always the case, they may cost
as much more, and the bill for the dec
orations may be equally large, Tbs

LOBSTER AS A FENcER.
His Skill shows He Must Have Had
Previous Experience.


That fencing is a pastime among lob
sters have no doubt, from some little
experience l have had with them. Once
/ found a lobster near low water In a
pool some nine feet long and six wide,
having a rough bottom and eight or ten
inches Of water on it, with a cavern Mt
each end. Although | was armed with
crab hook or iron gaff about three feet
long, the extreme daring and fencing Of
the lobster were too much for me to Crap
pie with. When In the deeper caverns,
found II could see me through the water
as plainly as | could see it, so that here
the better constructed eyes of the genus
homo had no advantage over the rough.
hard stalk eyes of the crustacean; and as
l could not get to gait across it every eff
fort made was evaded. At last. howey-
er, by more vigorous and energetic gafhng
| made the cavern so uncomfortable for
the lobster that like a lightning fash II
darted between my legs and into the less
er cavern. Here the same game went
on with like results, for in moment he
was again between my legs and back into
his old haunt.
Finally, becoming tired OF gaming and
missing for its fencing was perfect and
could not have been achieved without
long practice) l declined to be beaten by
a mere crustacean and proceeded to bail
out the pool 1t was only by this effort
that eventually conquered 1t. And here
I must confess that throughout the bat
tie so deft, crafty and subtle were its ac-
tons that 1t was like fighting a being en-
dowed with human intelligence.
l have further proof that they mani
fest a severe martial spirit in the sea
when hunting for food. 1t is nothing I'M
common for a fisherman, when drawing
up his traps in the morning, to find the
large claws of another lobster in the pot
beside the prisoner. And there have been
instances when three large claws have
been found together under the above con-
ditions and lobster with one arm as
prisoner, showing that in recent fight
the victor had lost one and the vanquish-
ed both its arms. But these are only
tribes compared with what the late Sir
Isaac Coffin saw on the coast of Nova
Scotia for Ii is given on his authority
that he once witnessed terrible battle
between two armies of Holsters and that
they fought with such fury that the shore
was strewn with their claws.-Contem-
porary Review.

WETUMPKA, Ala, Oct 3.-Winfield
Townsend, alias Floyd, was burned at
the stake at Eclectic, small town near
here, for an attempted outrage on Mrs.
Lonnie Harrington.
The negro told her his purpose and
grabbed her by the throat, but was not
quick enough, as his intended victim
gave one scream which prevented the
consummation of the hellish deed.
Bob Nichols, who was driving along
the road, heard her cry for help and
reached the house in time to see the me-
gro escape through the back door.
After restoring Mrs. Harrington to
consciousness Nichols gave the alarm.
Bloodhoupds were placed on the negro's
track and he was soon run to cover.
The mob carried him back to the
scene Of his crime, and Mrs. Harrington
positively identifying Townsend, the
negro was chained to tree and match
applied to the timber piled around him.
He died in fearful agony.
Before the match was applied Town
! send made a confession, stating that he
was implicated in the recent outrage for
which his uncle was recently lynched,
also duplicating several other negroes.
