Supreme Court bench. All other details of the convention are up in the air. It can be positively stated that no agreement has been made upon any candidate. The problem of the men who want to name a candidate who will help elect the national ticket Is to defeat John B. Stanchheld.

 The three booms which will have strong backing when the delegates ar rive at Saratoga will be those of Shep- ard, Grout and Stanchfield.
 Martin W. Littletons name was brought forward last night and enjoyed q considerable boom when 1t became known that his was one of the names seriously discussed by Judge Parker with the leaders when he was here last week.
 Judge William ]. Gaynor's name was widely canvassed yesterday. Bv macy leaders he was declared a strong man for the nomination. It was said that next to Mir Jerome no man could put more fire and snap into the light.

MoNTGoMERY's PEACH CROP.
Three Hundred Car Loads are Grow
 Near Here Each Year.

The Commercial and Industrial As- sociation has recently inquired into the amount of peaches grown imme- diately around Montgomery.
 The showing will surprise even those who are supposed to be well in- formed upon the subject. when 1t is stated that 300 car loads of peaches are annually grown within a radius of five miles of Montgomery.
 The principal owners of peach or chards are. John Cantelou, 15,00o trees; St. Joseph's College, $500 trees; J. c. crombie. 5000 trees: M. Culver, 5000 Abercrombie. 4,000 trees; Ben Stone, 4,OoO trees: W. T. Riley and M. Daw. son, 5000 trees; B. l.. Holt and Nj Dawson 2.500 trees; L. LassIster, 2,0o0 trees; stephen Elmore and Pat Ham, ilton, (colored), 2,000 trees. A total of 5SoOo trees.
 It Is estimated that the trees in other ochards on small farms and pri- vate homes will run the total up to 75.000 trees. These trees win aver age about two crates to the tree. mak- ing a total of 10000 crates Packing these 800 crates to the car. will give a train load of 300 cars of peaches, as Montgomery's annual crop
 It is estimated that these should net the grower at least one dollar per crate-so that Montgomery's annual peach crop represents at present about $150.000 to the city.
 Most of these peaches are Elbertas or Early to Late.

THE DOCTORS WIFE. Agrees With Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: "In the prac- tice of my profession I have found so many points in favor of Grape Nuts that I unhesitatingly recommend 1t to all my patients.
 Tt is delicate and pleasing to the palate Gan essential in food for the sick) and can be adapted to all ages, being softened with milk or cream for babies or the aged when deficiency of teeth renders mastication impossible. For fever patients or those on liquid diet I find 'GrapeNuts and albumcn water very nourishing and refreshing This recipe is my own idea and is made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful of GrapeNut in a glass of water for an hour, strain and serve with the beaten white of an egg and a spoonful of fruit juice for fiavoring. This affords a great deal of nourishment that even the weakest stomach can assimilate with out any distress.
 My husband is physician and he uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders 1t many times for his patients.
 Personally I regard a dish of Grape Nuts With fresh or stewed fruit as the Ideal breakfast for anyone-well or sick Name given by Postum Co.,, Bat tie Creek. Mich.

 The significance of Mir. Hornblower's selection as the temporary chairman of the Convention. is apparent. It Is evil dence of the aimsof the leaders of the party, who have the cooperation of MT. Hill to bring together at Saratoga all the clements that have been acting at variance for the last twelve or four teen years and bring about a love feast.
 It has become clearer than ever to- day that MT. Hill is going to control the State Convention from start to finish. The building in Broadway where Hill has had his law office for many years is being remodeled and the Democratic leader has temporarily re- moved to South Pearl Street. In those offices the preliminarfes of the Conven- tion are being arranged, and not at Saratoga.

Work at the New Bridge.

The north pier of the new bridge is
now completed to the bridge seat or
point upon which the ironwork OF the
bridge Is to rest. A parapet or retaining
wall Ia yet to be built against which the
crushed stone and other road material is
to be packed to bring the street to the
level of the bridge driveway, which is to
be about four and one-half feet higher
than the former structure. A large
amount OF filling will be necessary on
Island avenue where it approaches the
bridge and for this purpose Street Com
missioner Webb has reserved about 400
loads of earth, excavated from the Pat
ten lot, by having it hauled to the grove
and piled near the foot bridge to be
ready when wanted.
The granite in the old pier in the mid
die of the river Is to be removed and
used in building the new south pier and
derrick was placed on the old pier
yesterday, for this purpose, As the new
pier will be required and the old pier will
be removed TO point slightly below the
present water line. Conditions for build
ing a coherdam were found to be much
more favorable at the south shore than
at the north and the one now in position
is 80 near water tight that very little
pumping is required. The foundation
stones for this pier have already been
put in place.
It is estimated by those in charge Of
the masonry construction that things
will be in shape for the American Bridge
company to begin their part of the work
by September goth and that they will
have ample opportunity to put in place
their temporary wooden truss work,
from which the arch OF the new bridge
is built, before that date.

will offer the highly amusing farce
comedy In three acts entitled Jane"
La presenting this play for the approval
of the theater gsers the company does
so with one object In view and that Is to
create laughter. There is not one serious
thought In the whole play but scores OF
the most amusing lines and situations
that one could imagine, and from the
time the curtain rises on the first act TO
the fall of it on the last there are such
bits of humor that the auditor is loath to
see 1t end. The play is one of the best
that has ever been offered in this or any
other city and has been a tremendous
success everywhere. The cast of the
play is so suited to the possibilities Of
the company that it is safe to say that IL
will be one Of the best II not the best
performance Of any yet given. The
title part, that Of Jane, will be assumed
by Miss C. Blanche Rice, in fact 1t was
selected especially to show the clever
ness of this charming little actress whose
good work and affable disposition has
