ants against the Siegel- Sanders Live Stock

Tt is the custom throughout the coun-
try to address adj letters to St. Paul
which are meant to go to the capitol
city OF the Nortin Star state but it would
be fair guess to say that If letters
should be addressed Convention City,
this week they would come to ST. Paul.
There were seven conventions in progress
here at the same time yesterday and
there will be two new conventions today,
one of them to outsnine all the others.
The convention of tho American AssO-
citation of Life Insurance Examiners was
held at Masonic Temple. New officers for
the ensuing year were elected and many
papers were read all of them interesting
to the delegates in attendance. DR.. T. J.
MCGOWAN, the outgoing president, said,
among other things, that the association
is but infant, having been in existence
only two years. 1t has survived the
dreaded first two summers and While
somewhat delicate, it is a promising babe.
He believed that with the nea1thful Min
nesota atmosphere, wise medical counsel,
and skilled nursing, the constitution Of
the babe will become so fortified against
the attack of the usual infantile afflic-
tions that the future will build up a.
healthy strong, and useful member Of
the fraternity. 1t must be stated that in
spite Of the youthfulnesg Of the associa-
tion, it had more delegates than any
other in attendance at its convention yes
terday. An interesting extract from the
presidents address follows:

HAD A PREVIOUS QUARREL.

The couple had engaged in desperate
quarrel three days ago. and Forshay is
said to have beaten the actress badly
cutting her head in two places. M IS
Stokes gave orders to the proprietor OF
the Vernon hotel at which she was stop
ping, that Forshay should not be ad-
mitted to her presence, and, although he
called there twice during the early part
of the evening, he was compelled to leave
by the attendants. Later he called, and
the proprietor told him that he c~uld
wait in the parlor, where Miss Stokes
would see him. She came down from
her room, and the couple talked for about
ten minutes, when Forshay suddenly
drew revolver and fired two shots, one
passing through the right Jung and the
other close to the heart. She Gi al
most instantly
After killing the woman, Forshay ran
from the building, and was c1osely fol-
lowed by James Helm, and VIII lam Ken
nedy, the porter Of the hotel After pur-
suing him a short distance. Helm over
took him, and, throwing him to the side
walk, held him until the arrival Of the
police. When taken to the police station,
Forshay said that he intended to Kill
himself, as he could not live without Miss
Stokes love, but that his nerve failed at
the last minute.

ADDRESS BY A PRESIDENT.

Life insurance companies view the
service of the examiner from a business
standpoint and their efficiency as ex-
aminers is measured by their ability to
protect the companies from assuming
hazardous risks. Much complaint has
been made by examiners against solicit
ors for life insurance, and they have been
accused OF attempting to influence the
examiner to the detriment of the COM
pany. Such acts of an agent is treachery
and dishonesty which I am sure every
member Of this association will condemn.
The idea that an examiner will intention
ally deceive the company by Which he IS
employed is an insinuation thai fills me
with Indignation. I regret the inability
of examiners to arraign these unscrupu-
lous individuals before a proper tribunal
and expose the frauds they attempt to
practice. In referring to this matter l
must state that I do not wish to be
understood as imputing dishonesty or de-
ccption to insurance solicitors In general,
for as a rule believe them to be gentle
men worthy Of their vocation, and for
many sef them have a very high per-
sonal esteem"
Following are the officers Of the asso-
citation as elected yesterday: President,

president Talbot Jones' st. Paul athird

Combination Diving.

. The Swedes delight in combination diving" and two men will perform many clever feats together. One of the most grotesque of these is when one man stands urc fight on the springboard and tightly clasps another mans body round the waist, holding him head downward and putting his own head through the mans legs. When the up right man springs from the board. he throws his legs into the air so that the two men, ciaspIng the other tightly round the waist, turn a somersault, and when they reach the water the man who started upside down arrives feet foremost.
 The handspring dive is a very effect i've speciality of Swedish swimmers. The performer takes off from the div ing board with hands instead of feet, trinlng his body in order to descend feet foremost or somersaulting to ar I've head downward. Very graceful also is the back dive. in which the spring Is made backward, the body turning toward the springboard. Dou ble somersault dives are made from platforms 30 or 50 feet high. the diver making two turns in the air and enter ing the water feet foremost.-Peter. sons Magazine.

Care In Making Axes.

An ax is subject to rigid tests before 1t is pronounced perfect. The steel must be of the required temper. the weight of all axes of the same size must be uniform. all must be ground alike and in various other ways conform to ap es- tablished standard. The inspector who tests the quality of the steel does so by hammering the blade and striking the edge to ascertain whether it be too brittle or not An ax that breaks dur ing the test is thrown aside to be made over. Before the material of an ax is in the proper shape it has been heated five times, including the tempering process, and the ax when completed has passed through the hands of about 40 work men, each of whom has done something toward perfecting it. After passing in- spection the axes go to the grinding de- partment and from that to the polish CTS, who finish them upon emery wheels

Yachting has firm grip on our peo- pie. More than $5O.OO0,000 is invested in our yachting fleet. Roughly speak ing, there are 300 regularly enrolled steam yachts valued at over $40,000. GOO; 2,5OO regularly enrolled sailing yachts valued at $7,OOO,0OO, and 5000 launches and small fry valued at s., OO0OOO.
 The approximate annual cost of run ming this fleet may be figured as fol lows: Wages of 5000 professionals, sea- men, engineers. firemen, cooks, stew ards, walters, etc, $6O0,OO0. Stores, including coal, naphtha, ice, provisions, wine and entertaining, $2.O00,O00. Re pairs of all kinds and insurance, $1,- 100000. These items make a grand total of s3,6OO.OOO.
 James Gordon Bennett's new steam yacht Lysistrata cost him considerably more than $1,0OO,OO0, and there are sev- eral others in the fleet just as expen- sive. The estimate of $50.O00,000 in- vested in the yachting fleet is conserva- tive. It includes the first cost of all the yachts built to defend the Amer ica's cup from Puritan to Defender. In most of these costly experiments were tried and much money sunk.
 In estimating the cost of keeping these vessels in commission, says a writer in Leslie's Weekly, allowance should be made for those that are not fitted out during the season and are on the sale list. There are, however, at least 5000 professionals employed each year for an average of three months. At $50 month each, the regular pay of able-bodied seamen, their wages would amount to $15O,O00. But when it is taken into consideration that the pay of captains and engineers varies from $25O to $500 a month, and that mates, second mates, boatswalns and quarter masters are paid extra, also that cooks and stewards command high wages on the large vessels, 1t is well within bounds to figure the wages of the 5000 men at $600,000. The cost of feeding a seaman Is 90 cents day. Thus 5000 seamen consume in ninety. days $22o,- 900 worth of food. Coal, naphtha, gas ollne, wine, stores and entertaining will easily bring the total up to $2,OOO,- 900. Naphtha and gasoline make a big figure, as more than 1000 pleasure craft are propelled by motors which derive their powers from these sources. The wine bills on some vessels are enormous, the owners entertaining lav- ishly and buying none but the choicest vintages. Newport tradesmen have reason to bless the yachtsmen who have made 1t possible for them to wax fat and become prosperous.

A BORROWING BRIDEGROOM.
He Was on His Wedding Tour and Yet
 He Was Most Unhappy.

He Was on His Wedding Tour and Yet
 He Was Most Unhappy.
 One of the best-known raconteurs in the South is the Rev. Charles Lane, of Atlanta. He is thoroughly unconven- tional, but is possessed of an inexhaust- ible supply of anecdotes. MT. Lane was one of a party of ministers who were recently dining with the Rev. pr. T. De Witt Talmage at the home of Evan r. Howell in Atlanta. pr. Talmage was personally stranger to most of the preachers present, says the New York Times, and the dinner seemed rather cold and formal, differing in this respect from most Southern gatherings. Finally some one suggested to MT. Lane that he try to liven things up. He then proceeded to tell the following story, which completely fractured the ice and made every one acquainted with every one else that was there:
 "A few years ago there might have been seen walking the decks of an At lantic steamer mar apparently rus tic inhabitant, seemingly in deep dis tress. A fellow passenger, having Ob- served the manifestations of the mans obvious grief for several days, finally went to him and asked, sympatheti- cally:
 "'My friend, have noticed your dis tress for several days, and, thinking that perhaps I might be of some assist ance, venture to ask if any member of your family Is dead
 "'No,' replied the man. Nobody dead
 "'Well, you are probably suffering from some serious business misfor- tune, I presume,' continued the ques- tiOner.
 "'No; no business trouble.'
 "'Might I ask, then, what the trou- ble isY
 "'Well, Pm on my weddin' trip re- sponded the man seriously.
 "On your wedding trip? Why, I all ways thought that was a time of great rejoicing
 "'Yes, but my wife's not with me- replied the disturbed man.
 "'Your wife not with you! Inever heard of man taking his wedding trip when his wife was not with him.
 "'Well, you see 1t was this way: We didn't have money enough for both of us to go, but as the thing had to be tuck Pm taking 1t by myselfr"

FLOWER AND TREE.

Plants cannot live if deprived of their leaves.
 Tea plants at the age of years yield 700 pounds of tea to the acre.
 The date palm requires hot, dry air, but moisture about the roots and plenty of it.
 Palms never live more than 250 years. Ivy has been known to live 450, chestnut SGO, oak 1,600 and yew 2,SS0.
 An oak tree of average size, with 100000 leaves, lifts from the earth about 123 tons of water during the i've months it is in leaf.
 Jasmine is an Indian shrub. Its star ", wax white blossoms are indescriba- bly, sweet. All the burning pain and passion and pathos and mystery of the Hindoo race seem to rise up to you in it's breath.
 There is a rose tree with a trunk ? feet 9 inches in circumference in Ven tura garden in California. It is La marque, has been growing quarter of century and yielded over 21,0OO blooms in 1895.

nothing is of any consequence except the noble art of being merry. If. while little Tommy stands on his head on Hampstead heath in the fullness of his joy, MT. Bull takes to ruminating and thinking things oyer in order to arrive at some conclsion as to where he is, he will realize. if he reasons properly, that there Is no earthly obstacle to his join ing Tommy in his acrobatics, and way ing his own legs in the atmosphere from pure light-heartedness.
 England is rich, and happy, and well governed, and a comfortable, coZy place in which to dwell. So away with dull care, and hurrah for a vigorous time on heath and beach. 1t is a fine thing to give the cash books and the day books to the spiders for one whole work day, and let the mice play hide and-seek in the board room of the tire some company that Is always holding stupid solemn meetings and declaring silly old dividends.
 It is glorious to drag the managing editor, or the banker, or the superin- tendent, or the workman from his place of business, scamper with him over the hills, duck him in the wavelets of the channel, or watch him gamb0l on the sofe green sward. It is good alike for his head and for his liver. He comes back to his desk less of an old fogy, if he has been one, and more of hu- man being.
 And, if you can get him into an omni- bus with half a dozen of the children of other people overflowing on his lap and treading on his feet, so much the better for him.

REGENT INVENTIONS.

Hand bicycle pumps can be steadied while in use by a new attachment, con slsting of an extension rod, which is at tached to the piston rod and rests on the ground to receive the force of the downward push on the pump.
 A new shaving brush has the bristles stiffened and held together by an elas- tic rubber cover. which has no cap at the opposite end, the bristle protruding short distance for rubbing the father in instead of using the hand.
 A new method of mounting the sad dle-post to form cushion is to make an enlargement in the central brace of the frame, in which pneumatic sack is placed, with the saddle-poSt ending In a curved plate, which rests on the sack.
 The jolting of street cars at crossings Is prevented by new device, consist ing of four small turntables placed at the intersection of the rails, which are automatically swung in line with one set of rails as car approaches on these rails.
 Grocers and candy sellers can make use of new invention, consisting of pair of bellows having flat projection on one side with a slot in its center, through which air is forced to open pa per bags as they are slipped over the nozzle.
 A handy scale for mailing purposes recently patented has the cost of send ing merchandise stamped on the upper portion of the scale beam and the cost of papers on the lower side, the sliding weight indicating the cost of different packages.
 Lamp shades are not needed on newly designed chimney, which is formed of a series of prism rings mold ed in the surface. with the fiat side turned downward to throw the light in that direction and prevent its shining in an upward direction.

Wagner and the Player.

When Richard Wagner was conduct or of the Royal Opera in Dresden, the orchestra of that institution, though one of the best in Germany. was far from being as good as it is now, and Wagner had good deal of trouble in making It follow his intentions. Some years later. when he was living as an exile in Zurich, be undertook to train the local orchestra. After a few at- tempts he exclaimed. "Gentlemen. you have just given me a great pleasure; you have played exactly as badly as the Dresden orchestra"
 The Zurich players laughed. and the idea that they might play better than the royal musicians in Dresden so fired their zeal that they actually succeeded VI dOin" it
