FRIDAY, JUNE q.

At a meeting of the building trades

There will be another meeting tonight

Nothing definite has been decided yet
as to the celebration of the day but it
will likely be very similar to the Labor

SURRENDER TO POPS.

Kansas Democratic Make Everything
= g.. Very Harmonious. 80 +.
FORT SCOTT, Kan. July 25-The
Kansas Democracy in convention here
today surrendered to the demands Of
the Populists and thereby made posi-
bic the highest and most harmonious
fusion that has ever exised In this
state. The Populists has demanded
from the Democrats the offices of as
sociate justice in exchange for that of
attorney general, although the former
office had previously been granted to
the Democrats.
After an All Night Session
of conference committees the question
was left to the gathering to-
day. A fight was expected be-
fore the Democrats would give
up this plan, but, led by Hon. J.
G. johnson, national committeeman for
Kansas they fully acceded to the de-
mands of the Populists and embraced
the opportunity for a love feast. The
Democrats when the demands were
made known to them, went wild with
enthusiasm and gave vent to their
feelings in demonstration which
lasted for 20 minutes.
The state Ticket AZ Completed
by the different conventions was finally
endorsed by all-Democrats, Populists
and Silver Republicans, as follows:
Associate justice, David Martin, Popu-
list; governor, D. w. Breidenthal,
Populist; lieutenant governor, A. M.
Harvey, Populist; secretary of state,
Abe Frakes, Democrat; treasurer, Con-
way Marshall, Democrat; Attorney
general, Hugh p. Farrell, Democrat;
superintendent of insurance, Webb,
McNall, Silver Republicans: electors
at large, r. W. Turner. Silver Repub-
lican; J. B. Fugate, Democrat. Mrs.
Anna l.. Diggs, throughout the con-
vention, made strong fight for the
Populists to secure the associate JUS
ticeship and to her efforts is due much
Of the success Of the party claims.

other things the creation by law of a

triots in the French Capital.
There is lot of tribulation among
the Americans who have gone to Paris
to see the exposition on strictly
economical basis" said guest at one
Of the hotels, who is fresh from the
French capital. "A large proportion of
that class are women. They have
posted themselves in advance, from
misleading articles written by people
who were evidently never abroad,
memorized a dozen or so useful
phrases and rushed across to do the big
show on $3.50 day. Such tourist has
about as much show in Paris as a.
spring chicken in a pack of wolves.
The poor innocents, who have been told
that everybody speaks English over
there get off the train to find them
selves in a babel Of foreign tongues and
without the least idea which way to
turn. Naturally, they are at the mercy
of the first sharper they meet, and
scores of them have been plucked clean,
then and there, on the pretext Of
changing their money to French cur
rency. Others are logged off to shady
pensions and swindled in detail. Most
of the unsophisticated strangers expect
to get rooms at 81 a day or less and
have made their calculations accord
iEgly. The cheapest quarters to be had
in Partisan boarding houses at present
are 900 francs a month, and one is ex-
ceptiOnal1y lucky to strike a comfort
able lodging in good location at that
figure. Everything else is in proper
ton, and while there are no extra
charges at the exposition proper, the
Midway attractions have feetaker at
every turn. The Swiss village and old
Paris, which are the two principal fea-
lures, have fixed price of admission
and innumerable special charges de-
signed to catch greenhorns. It is like
church fair-two-bits to get in and IS
to get Out-and the visitor who can't
speak the language will incur all sorts
of obligations before he knows it. It is
perfectly useless for him to bluff and
bluster, because those two things are
the Frenchman's long suit. The native
| sharper will scream, below, gesticulate,
get black in the fact, and work him
self into such fake frenzy that the
| expostulating victim will be only too
glad to pay the bill and escape.

Curious Expressions That Have Be-
come Household Words.
Il can't see. it, is traced to Lord
Nelson, who at the battle Of Copen-
hagen was told that signal was given
to cease firing. and the direction point
ed out to him. "Seizing a telescope he
applied nit to his blind eye and ex-
claimed: II can't see it,
Hauling over the coals'' dates six or
seven centuries back, when feudal bar
ons often used harsh methods Of ex-
tracing gold from the rich Jews by
suspending their victims above slow
fires until they paid ransom or died.
There was a scene Of this sort in
'Ivanhoe," in which the Front De
Boenf endeavors to exort money from
Isaac Of York, father Of Rebecca.
Corporations have no souls'' is a.
much older expression than most people
igamine. It originated with Sir Ed
ward Coke in the sixteenth century,
who was considered one of the best
legal writer's Of the age. He says in one
of his treatises: Corporations cannot
commit trespass, nor be outlawed, nor
communicated, for they have no
souls"
The phrase II acknowledge the corn"
originated with slave. He was
charged with stealing corn found in his
possession. Having sack with him
he was also charged with stealing that.
His reply was: mo, sab; knowledge
de corn, but amt gwine to KNOWLEDGE
de SACK
ANY color so it's red" originated
among a class of characters called
Jackeys In the local drama, One of
them being on committee appointed to
procure a new fire engine was asked
what color the company desired the an
paratus painted. He replied: 'Whv.
any color so It's red. 49,
Drowning the miller. Y; originated
from the following fact: II the mill
stream below the mill is damned or
stopped the water is pounded back and
the mill becomes what the the millers
call tailed" II there is too much
water the mill will not work, and the
miller Is said TO- be drowned OUT
Hence, when too much of any one arti-
cle is put in mixture it is called
drowning the miller"
Better late than never" was used
over 300 years ago by Thomas Tucker
IN mis- Five Hundred Points of Good
Husoandry.' Later on Bunyan used It
In his "Pilgrim's Progress.''
Not a few of the phrases in use at
TINS day originated with Lvly, and are
found In his "Euphues," a popular book
published in 1850. Among them mieht
be mentioned Caught Mapping" "a
crooked stick or none." Drown study. ),
catching birds by putting salt on thei,
