DAY EVENING MEETING.
coLORED MEMS HOODOO

u ARNEY B. QUINN was yesterday
ID placed on the Democratic legis-
Iative ticket TO nil the vacancy
caused by the resignation of David
Evans. Mr.. Evans could not be pre-
vailed upon TO remain on the ticket
because he had made all his arrange
ments for a long trip this winter.
and he did not feel like changing
them, realizing that the expected cleo
ton OF the Democratic ticket would
make it his duty to remain in Salt
Lake.
Mr.. Quinn barely missed being nom
mated in the convention. He occu-
pied the peculiar position of having
received more than a majority vote
and yet not receiving the nomination.
This was due 10 the fact that each
delegate voted for teR out OF the If
teen men whose names were before
the convention. Eleven OF the fifteen
received more than a majority vote.
Mr.. Quinn was the eleventh man, and
as only ten could be nominated, he
was left out of the running. He re-
ceived 2741z votes, while 2e9 was a
majority of the delegates.
The county committee thought he
was entitled TO recognition on account
Of the showing of popularity he made
in the convention, and placed him or
the ticket when il was learned that
Mr.. Evans determination TO withdraw
was unalterable.

Chicago Chronicle,)

A well known minister on the north
side tells the following story, which he
Youches for as truth. In one OF the
churches of which he was pastor during
the earlier part of his career there was
a good old deacon. He was a devoted
church member and active worker, but
he was not averse 10 a good game OF
cards now and then. He had another
habit, which generally is deemed only OF
the funny mans making, and that was
sleeping in church.
There was an unusual crowd at prayer
meeting one night. and the deacon and
his good wife were of the number, OF
course After the talk on the topics OF
the evening the minister glanced down
into the gathering and said:
''Will Deacon Blank please lead us In
prayer?"
Deacon Blank had fallen asleep and
slumbered peacefully on.
Greatly embarrassed. the dedcons Wlte
nudged him and said:
Father, it's your time TO lead
What's THAR said the old deacon,
starting from his nap. mo. IL ain [

The minister broke the silence which
followed by leading in prayer himself.

NO TRUTH IN THE REPORT.
Russia Does Not Seek to Revive Old
Treaty With Turkey.

Vienna, Oct 1.-THE Austro- Hun
garian foreign office entirely discredits
the report telegraphed from Bucharest,
Roumania. to the London Daily Mail
that Russia has proposed to Turkey a
revival of the Unkiar-S kelessi treaty of
1893. which established a Russian ALI
ance, under the terms of which the
government of Turkey undertook at
Russias request to exclude in time OF
war all foreign warships from the
Black sea, while Russia undertook at
Turkeys request to furnish her aid by
land and sea If necessary. 1t is pointed
out at the foreign Office here that all
the European powers are concerned in
the existing treaties governing the pas
sage of the Dardanelles by foreign war
ships and that il is impossible for Rus
STA TO modify them without the consent
of the co-signatories.
The Austrian ambassador at Constan-
tinople has also assured the foreign
Office in this city that no political mat
tiers were discussed during the recent
visit to the sultan OF the Grand Duke
Nicholas OF Russia, who is said TO have
made the proposition referred to.
