THE STATE
CONVENTION,

The split in the Republican state
convention at Madison last week
was not wholly unexpected. The
methods of the La Toilette leaders
for some time previously indicated
clearly their intention to control the
convention at all hazards. They sue
ceeded in this by inaGgurating contests
in some Of the counties, enough Of which
were settled by the state central COM
mittee, acting as committee on Gre
dentials. in favor Of the governor
There probably was never conVen-
tion in which parliamentary rules were
ignored and the rights OF delegates
denied them more so than this. The
Temporary organization having been
effected, the chairman rode rough
shod over the anti La Toilette dele
gates, deciding against them on almost
every proposition they submitted.
When motion was made to adopt the
majority report of the committee on
credentials, he attempted to rule out of
order motion to amend by substitute
iEg the minority report. and would
have held to that opinion had not Hon
A. r. Hall, La Toilette leader, sug-
gested to the chairman that his decision
was wrong. The minority report was
then read but for all pl actical purposes
it might as we'll have not been. The
majority report Of the committee was
put through under whip and spur, al
attempts to have the evidence upon
which the committee acted in the sew
eral contests submitted for the inform
alton of the convention being
promptly voted down. The effect
of this action was the determina-
tion that the state central committee
is more potent THAI the convention
itself which Oh its face is absurd Tt
means that II men, a majority OF %.
acting on credentials can make and un-
make delegations in convention with-
out any appeal and that their ipse dixit
is final. Delegates were denied seaIs
who were there with perfectly legal
credentials, signed BY the chairman
and secretary of the county commit
tees. Other delegates from rump con-
yentions, with credentials signed by
the chairman and secretary of the
convention electing them were admit
ted By these extreme and revolu-
tionary measures legal majority of the
delegates, SGT out of 1865, were turned
into minority, and this led to their
withdrawal and the organization of an
other convention. and the nomination
of ticket in harmony with it's views.
A full report OF the conventions pro-
ceadings will be found elsewhere,

L ndonSocietyWonnenTak Taking
the Celery Cure to
Preserve Youth.

LONDON. Aug. 27.-When two or
three London society danes made the
discovery recently that Queen Alex
andra had been for years a hearty
eater of celery, these smart women
promptly decided that her MaJesty's
perennial youth and beauty must be
due to this diet. Accordingly celery
eating now has become general among
fashionable women. so general in fact
that the beauty doctors" of London
are beginning to feel the effects of the
new craze in a decided falling of in
patronage. Meanwhile market gar
deners have been puzzled TO know why
a demand for celery sprung up so sud-
denly in fashionable establishments.
The Queens celery is grown in Sand
bingham, where most of the vegetables
for the royal table come from, and a
determined effort is being made by
women who desire to be more beau
tiful TO get a sample of the species so
that they may grow it for themselves.
Fruit and vegetable dealers who cater
for fashionable West End people have
as a result of the craze manufactured
a new name for this celery. 1t can
be seen in the best shops marked up
Royal Sandringham," the desire be-
ing TO convey the impression that 1t
is the same species as that grown at
Sandringham for her Majesty. The
new name enhances the value so per
cent. although it is exactly the same
quality that has been supplied TO the
purchaser for a number of years back.
MAKES POPLIN THE FASHION.
Always handsomely and smartIy
dressed. though without an attempt
at over extravaganza, the Duchess of
Marlborough has struck out in a new
line in the matter of material for her
best gowns. The Queen during her
recent visit to Ireland set the fashion
by wearing a dress made OF poplin
and the Duchess seems TO have been
the first to follow suit A few days
ago a member Of a Dublin firm ar
rived in London with samples Of the
richest poplins manufactured by the

house. Her Grace was so delighted
with the stuff that she Immediately
gave an order amounting to close upon
$4,000. Hitherto she had favored
French houses and now that she has
transferred her patronage to Ireland,
London costumiers are somewhat jeal-
Gus. Other American society women
are following the example Of the Ouch
ess. and on their return home after
the season their trunks will be packed
with Irish poplins. Count Wards
women friends particularly are show
ing a Partially for this material, and
it is expected that poplin costumes
will be seen at some of the lavish
entertainments which he proposes to
indulge in during the season. Many
of the American feminine visitors to
London are going over to Ireland at
the end of the London season for no
other purpose than to examine on
the spot the new material which has
become another sort of society craze.
Poplin is by no means a new dis
covery, having been one of the old
industries of Ireland that has survived
the decay of Irish trade. The manu-
facture is sort OF trade secret and

The new apparatus is called the ra-

a native Of the United States, although
his parents were Germans.
On the direct request of the Emperor
the invention was bought for the Navy
Department. and that signifies that the
experiments must have been entirely
successful. 1t is reported here that in
one of the preliminary trials the in
ventor sent communication to the
Emperor in Berlin from Havre without
the French authorities knowing it.
The machine consists of two box
kites hitched together with long cop

height of nearly two miles before
the desired communication is sent.
