When the Heroid proposed that the dem
ocratic convention be held in this city it
was with a feeling that were the matter
placed before those having it in charge
in the proper light, the outcome could
have none but proper ending.-Frost-

Among those who know how much
the HcrolFs proposal had to do with
the determination to hold the conven-
ton here there is divergence of amuse-
ment.
The consensus of best informed opinion
is-it is the clmacteric joke of the

Nothing for Him but Work"

Col. Spencer c. Jones, as chairman OF the
democratic State convention, has reap
pointed Hon. Murray Vandiver chairman oil
the State central committee. Mr.. Vandiver''
long service at state headquarters has given
him a knowledge of men and conditions
not possessed by any other democrat in the
State, and his re-appointment was eminent
ly fit and proper. No chairman has labored
more assiduously for democratic success than
Mr. Vandiver, and none has kept so con-
tinuously at it-Westminster (Md) Adrocdte
As matter of fact, Mr.. Vandiver. IN
point of service rendered, more than any
other leader, was entitled to the guber-
material nomination.
He has done more work than War
field, Jones and all the rest taken to-
gether, and in both ability and respect
ability he is equal to any.
But there are no rewards of merit
in the anti-merit factions of either party.

Quoted by the late Father Dyer.
The same had been in progress

marked success. The converts

brethren were nightly giving the
strongest evidence of their joy,
with all the zeal that young and
religious converts feel.
On the evening this incident

the new converts in particular
were giving their religious ex-

DOGS AMONG THE LEPERs.
The Board OF Health OF MoIokai Hma
Limited the Number to One
10 Each Person.

There are about 900 persons perma-
nently resident at the leper settlement
on the Island Of Molokai, and there is
an average Of about five live and lively
dogs to each person.
And those statements are explanatory
Of number Of things. 1t would be
supposed. in the first place, that there
was some mysterious affinity between
dogs and leprosy. but this is not the
fact. The native, however, has a great
fondness for dogs and dog and be-
cause Of that fondnesa the number Of
canine pets at the settlement has In
creased to such an extent that they
have not only become a great nuisance
TO those persons on Molokai who are
able to restrain their affection for dogs
within reasonable limits. but have like
wise become a menace to the lepers
themselves. in that their dogs are lit
orally eating them out Of house and
home, says the Honolulu Commercial
Advertiser.
There Is, in fact, a constantly increas-
ing insufiiciency. actually felt, in the
paiai ration issued, while the dogs
grow more numerous at regularly re-
curing intervals and more voracious

might be called an animal weakness,

the native is healthy enough to follow
bis bent and eat the dog, In time, thus
cementing his attachment to his pet
permanently, but the people at the set
tlement are not inclined to do that-at
least, not enough inclined to do SO to
keep down the suyplus dogs. and SO the
board of health has been compelled to
take hand liz the matter. And this
has become a condition reN.iring ac-
tion the more imDeratlvely because the
dogs. not content with eating up the
paiai Of their owners. have lately taken
TO running in the hills and pulling down
the calves OF the herds there and eating
them also. thus cutting into the meat
ration, as wen as the ration Of palai.
II was In view Of this condition that
q petition was cent BY the lepers to the
board Of health praying TO have the
number Of dogs In the settlement linz
tied. which petition resulted In the pas
sage BY the board OF a new regulation
limiting the canine possessions OF each I
leper 10 one dog. The board was not.
however, Inclined to be exigent in the
natter It gave the dog owners until1
the frst Of July to get rid Of the surplus.
That should be ample time to prepare

would contribute most successfully to

whether as conscious or unconscious
participants III the festivities.
