INSTRUMENTATION IN THE PULPIT

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In his sermon last Sunday Bishop Potter
said that he had young girl in a pew
shudder because the preacher had used a false
quantity in his pronunciation Of Greek name.
This recalls Dean Affords story of clergyman
who in reading the sixteenth chapter OF the First
EpistIe the Corinthians, pronounced the name
Stephanas with the accent on the second syllable.
A day or two later he received the following Ines
presumably from member o. his congregation:
To-day. you know, you said StephanaSi
This nisconceptiOn. sir. doth pain US
For 10 is Stephanas we know.
Ard beg that you will call him So"

DEMOCRATS CONVENE TODAY
Hardly Any Doubts But That Straight.
Outs Will Triumph,

The great unwashed will get togeth-
er this afternoon. Promptly at the
hour Of the convention will be called
tc order. and as soon thereafter as
! possible the fireworks will begin. w.
J. Cook. chairman OF the county COM
mittee. win not be present, as he is
out Of politics. and the gathering will
be called to order by some other
member OF the committee. B. J. Pye
is the universal choice for chairman
Of the convention and win be elected
II he will accept the honor. Interest
viii center in the report of the COM
mittee~ on order of business, which
viii recommend either the nomina-
ton Of a straight ticket or adjourn
ment to meet with the citizens. That
the straight ticket will be named is
agreed all around, and the straight
outs expect to win without even the
formality of contest, AS yet, so far
as can be learned, the democrats have
been unable to prevail upon any of
the faithful to take a chance with
Tom Linville for the office of sheriff, |
and the legislative ticket was shy at |
ast accounts. The leaders said last |
night there would be no dearth of /
candidates, however. but that a full
icket would be placed in the field.
!. V. Burns is to be one Of the legis-
ative candidates, but the name of
he other is still puzzle. George w.
dorton Is to receive the nomination
or treasurer and J. F. Bartoldus will
e put up against William Larsen for
ounty commissioner. The democrats
ave agreed to get through in a hur.
v and the conventions business viii
e concluded in an hour and a half If
othing unforeseen occurs.
