of Delegates.
Special to the Telegram.
Charleston, w. Va, April 2l-onc Of
the stormiest conventions within the his.
tory OF the State came to an end last
night, when the Democratic State dele
gate convention adjourned sine die.
While it was evident that the ma
iority of the delegates are in favor OF
the nomination Of udge Parker, yet
no instructions were given, and mo-
tion to adopt the unit rule was defeat.
ed after a warm contest. The only
pronounced Hearst men are the two
selected by the Fourth district couven-
tion. Among the features of the con-
vention were an address by Hon. Henry
G. Davis, who was given an ovation,
and the awful roast given Hon. john
son \. Camden, by the free silver wing
Of the Democratic party. who charged
him with voting for Mckinley over
Bryan. an whose Democratic record
was severely and most eaustically ar.
aligned.
When his selection on the big four
was announced. Wood county had her
voice recorded as voting against him.
md Lewis county announced that a.
is delegation has been Instructed to
gote for Bryan. it could not vote for
Judge NJ. II. Dent was re.nominated
Tor supreme judge by acclamation.
The entire proceedings were marked
with much confusion and often threat
sned to degenerate into go-as-you-
please scramble. The entire morning
session was wasted in long wrangIe
aver the resolution TO refer all resolu-
lions to tine committee on resolutions.
This was fought strenuously BY the
Hearst people, but when it came to al
vote the latter were ingloriously de-
reated.
ne deiegates-at- large were named as
follows:

It is neglected consumption

consumption get a bottle of

regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion

cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.

A Cane-Umbrella.

There lives in the little town of
Simpsonville, Tex, a young lady
whose name may be inscribed on a
roll in the hall of fame some day, and
all because she has solved one of the
great popular problems Of the day.
One of the most aggravating expert
ences of modern civilization is to go
out with an umbrella believing that
there is to be rain, and after Juggling
the thing about all the morning, or
all the afternoon, or perhaps all day,
come home without having even a
suspicion for using it. Generally we
profit by this experience the next
time it is cloudy by leaving the um-
brella at home and receive as our re-
ward a good drenching.
The lady in question has invented
an umbrella cane. This is contriv-
ance embodying the two in one. The
umbrella is rolled tight and fitted
snugly i'm long tubular receptacle,
which is surmounted with a pretty
handle and makes an admirable cane.
No one of course, objects to carry
ing cane while walking, and if it
insures protection from rain its desir-
ability is increased immeasurably.

{ Compass That Makes Records. =
In the last. number of the Bulletin

les We find described an apparatus
invented by NJ. Heit which automati-
ically registers, minute by minute. the
Nd1rection of the compass; so that by
consulting the chart which is the re
suit it is possible to determine what
the route was that was followed at a
given moment of the passage. The
commander of vessel indicates to
the helmsman the route which the
vessel should follow, but he does not
know whether this route is followed
unless he is continually observing the
compass. The Heit apparatus gives
this information, registering every

l. The most careful cattle raisers
prefer to have salt before t,:eir ami
mails all the time, or at least once
daily. When cattle are salted only a.
intervals of week or longer, as i:
often the case, the animals invariabl,
take more than is good for them
which has more serious effect thai
is generally supposed. The i'll effec
is caused by overtaxing the kidneys
producing undue thirst, and undul,
exhausting the body of flesh-producins
materials. When animals have acces;
to salt each day they take only as
much as their systems require, which
does them good without injury of an,
kind.

TORPEDOES ARE NOT NEW.
Chinese Used the Explosive More
Six Hundred Years Aqo.

Six Hundred Years Ago.
The torpedo is not a modern inven-
ton, as the majority of people sup
pose. 1t, like many other devices of
which civilized nations boast, is hoary
with age. The invention of gunpow-
der by the Chinese seven centuries
ago, commonly attributed to the Con
fucians, has been disputed, and the
credit for. the discovery has been CIV
en- by various authorities to the
Greeks or Romans.
Combustibles like naphtha, to which
class Greek fire belongs, were in use
in the armies of the Califs, and were
confounded with explosives. Marcus
Graecus seems to have had a recipe
for making gunpowder from saltpeter,
coal and sulphur, and his career has
been placed as early as the ninth cen.
tury; but it would be more correct
to place his life in the middle of the
thirteenth. A critical sitting of the
whole evidence leads to the conclu-
sion that saltpeter was first known in
China, but not before the middle of
the twelfth century.
In the successful defense of the Chi
nese city Piauking against the Mon.
gols, explosives, blasting bodies and
rockets were employed against the
enemy, and some diagrams exist
which show the form in which these
explosives were used.

Nov, I've saw a good many games
o. crooked poker in my time, an I've
saw men take chances that didn't
look half sensible, but never seen
anybody play the way bennett was
playin' that night. ''Peared like he
must be plumb crazy to do the stunts
he was doin,' but I cd see he was
countin' on the tall man bein' drunk
an the other two bein' foolish, which
they sure was. Anyhow he were just
a-rakin' in their money by the handful
when l seen Jim Fleming come in the
door.
"Fleming walked up to the table as
cool as you please, an asked if he
cd have hand in the game. They
all looked up an cd see bennett
didn't know him.
Anyway they said he cd play, an
he sat down an bought twenty dollars
worth o. chips. 1t was all he had in
the world, we found out afterward.
'"Then he played hand or two, till
it came to Dennett's deal, an after
the cards was served he reached over
an grabbed Dennett's five out of his
hand an looked at 'em.
"He didn't say nothin', an he acted
so cool that the others was just aston

stant, but bennett said, We'll, what

What did you do that for?'
