 COLUMBUS, O., May 26.-After a series of sharp conflicts the conserva- tiyes defeated the radicals and con trolled the Democratic state conven- tion The majority report of the com mittee on resolutions, which refused to reaffirm the Chicago and Kansas City platforms, was adopted.
 The report provided modified unit rule for an uninstructed delegation and left the enunciation of national princi- pies to the St Louis convention.
 The radical element failed to carry the minority report of five members of the committee, which recommended that the unit rule clause be stricken from the platform, by a vote of 327 15-2S to 391 1928. Under the modi- fled unit rule the delegation is to cast it's forty-six votes in the national con vention as the majority of the delega. tion shall decide.
 From the beginning of the conven ton the conservatives or anti-Hearst men carried all before them.

There is spirit of effeminacy in the church that concerns itself with what Philip Gilbert Hamilton calls the mil linery of religion;" there is also a sad lack of preaching power, writes Rev J. E. Freeman, in Outlook. The presence of the first and the absence of the sec ond have doubtless much to do with our present condition, but is there not a much deeper reason why young men are apathetic in the matter of religion? ? The wife of young man said to me recently that, when she asked her hus- tband why he did not go more frequent ly to church (he was church mem bert, he replied that he did not need "that sort of thing to keep him straight ill other words, the inspira- tions of religion were quite unneces- sary in the maintenance of what he would call a moral life!''

short time ago, when Pittsburger had reached Chicago with his bride. he was arrested for bigamy. To make the occasion particularly barren of joy there came into the presence Of the couple the only original and genuine bride. her temper bad and her tongue in working order. Plainly, the bride groom was embarrassed. 'It's an awk- ward blunder, of course,'' he remarked Neither No 1 nor No 2 thought this an adequate characterization. While they strove to classify the error more fit tingly. the police led the bridegroom away. For man to marry while he has legal living wife surely is q blunder, says the New York World. It is not one that may be readily undone, so the wisdom of avoiding it is appar- ent. In some measure the victim of the meanness is to blame. To marry a man without reasonable acquaint- ance with him and some knowledge of his antecedents borders on rashness. Nevertheless, instances are frequent in which man has anywhere from one to ten extra wives, while the prospec- tive one he woos does not think the subject worth inquiry. Bridegrooms who are guilty of awkward blunders' should be placed where celibacy, while not mentioned in the regulations, is en- forced as part of the routine.

The bureau of forestry will cooper ate with the department of mines and metallurgy in a series of comparative tests relating to the best methods of preserving timbers, at the St Louis exposition For this purpose com plete experimental treating plant, con sisting of small cylinder, vacuum and pressure pumps, and tanks for holding the preservative solutions will be in operation on the outdoor tract of the department of mines and metal lurgy. Other plants will show the ap- plication of the Giussani and Ripping processes. It is expected that one or more runs will daily be made, when ties and timbers from all parts of the United States will be treated. Close to these experimental plants will be found cylinder whose operation H. lustrates the best methods of increas- ing the longevity of fence posts. In a separate building near the treating plants several testing machines will be operated by the bureau of forestry for the purpose of determining the strength of different timbers treated by various preservatiye processes. The greatest effort has been made in the preparation of the government forest exhibit to give as complete an exposi- tion as possible of the purposes and work of the bureau. The result, it is hoped, will be peculiarly interest ing and instructive to that vast body of citizens whose material welfare is so intimately connected with the adop- tion of practical forestry.

MAYOR MCCLELLAN F.
 IN HIS OFFICE

It is as if q band had struck up a quick march in the city hall when the mayor comes swinging along the cor ridor in the morning. The attendants and clerks take on q new alertness and animation. He mods to them briskly as he pushes through the swinging door to the inner office. His bell rings sharply, and at once the mill begins to grind The first callers. who have been waiting for him, are shown in and bowed out in quick sue cession, and even those who have been unsuccessful in their errands are us- ually smiling when they pass out. be cause they are still under the spell of the mayors magnetism. He has grip- ped the hand of each man heartily. and has made it plain to him that he would like to serve him if he could. s During these calls he is hastily scanning letters that have been culled from the regular batch of about three hundred that have come in the first mail At eleven o'clock he receives the reporters from the afternoon pa pers. calling most of them by their first names There are then jokes aIln ldu&HlGI III LuC llASl All easy spirit of good fellowship prevails, yet the nespawper men know well that they can not obtain from the mayor information that he is unwill- ing to give or statements that he is unwilling to make. He parries their most covert thrusts with smile that is pleasant, but very full of discern ment.
 In the afternoon there were more callers and more letters, and very of ten. board or committee meeting. The gentlemen of the committees have been accustomed. in the past, to drone along for two or three hours at meet ing. The pace is a good deal swifter now. The mayor keeps them on the move every minute, and yet maintains spirit of good humor with smiles and incisiye comments. The other day for instance, when an official was asked how much money he needed for a certain purpose, he said he could spend an amount which he mentioned
 "We don't want to know how much you can spend. but how little," inter r1pted the mayor. briskly. From many men a remark like this would have savored of brusqueness and would have given offense. But the mayor accompanied it with his smile l and the man to whom it was addres- sed joined in the laughter. This little episode Is mentioned because it is char acteristic Besides his youthfulness l of spirit and the nervous energy thai gives the atmosphere around him 8 sort of jingle, the mayor has "a way with him'' that causes the great ma l iority of those who meet him personal l ly to be inclined to help rather thar retard him in his daily work and oI l his journey through the labyrinth o1

tenarians have testified that the ability to laugh heartily is one of the secrets of longevity. Sunshine is recognized as natures great medicine, and what is humor but mental sunshine? If anything will make man forget his nerves, it is good joke. The cachina- tion is the deadly enemy of the mi crobe. When a man expels his breath in a guffaw the germ goes out on the gale. The old adage of 'Laugh and grow fat'' should be made to read
 Laugh and get well.' Money spent on dope may now be invested in hui morous literature. On this theory Mark Twain should be given the de- gree of NJ. D. Possibly 1t is the in- crease in the output of the various funny men that accounts for the long, CT life noted by statisticians of late years There Is no question that the cartoonists have contributed to the political longevity of some of the poll ticians. The caricature may not strike the subject as particularly funny, but at least it prevents him from regarding himself too seriously. The Dooley sketches doubtless contributed to the financial health of MT Finley Peter
 Dunne, for at last accounts he was 1 drawing some rather large salaries on the strength of them. There is no question either that this same Dooiey has cured numberless cases of dyspep- sia in other people. If the German physician is right, George Ade ana Jerome K. Jerome should have Whack lat the Carnegie hero fund, for have
 they not saved many lives? Hereafter
 patients will be given puns instead or 1 pills. It would be joke on the baclill
 to hand them the merry ha-ha instead of feeding mental stomach ache as we'll

Repeated experiments have been made in this country to produce wood silk. The latest was in Philadelphia. and 1t was a, failure. Wood silk makes excellent filling, with true silk which forms the warp. The wood yarns can furthermore be used in any of the mills that makes silk braid. Why are we not up to the French in this mat ter? They long ago solved the prob lem. The Germans also puzzle the American chemists with their innova- tions. We sell wood silk at $5 pound, but get $7 and $S for ordinary thrown silk. But Yankee genius will yet "catch on."

VERDICT NOT GUILTY
General Tyner and Harrison
 Barrett Acquitted.
WASHINGTON POSTOFFICE TRIAL ENDS
Aged OtHfcer, Accused, Broke Down and Wept-Trial Has Lasted Nine teen Dnys-Jury Out only
 Txventy-fxwo Minutes

WASHINGTON, May 26. = Within twenty-two minutes of the retirement of the jury in the case of James N. Ty- ner and Harrison J. Barrett, tried on charges of conspiracy in connection with their duties as law officers for the postofdce department, verdict of not guilty was returned. The throng which filled the courtroom throughout the ar guments to the jury hardly had time to leave the building before the jury was back, and the foreman announced that a verdict had been reached. General Tyner, expecting much longer wait, had been wheeled from the room, and his nephew and codefendant hastened to give an order which caused him to return.
 General Tyner appeared greatly ex- cited as he attempted to face the jury, and when the verdict was returned he broke down completely Several of the jurors wept with him, and all of them shook hands with him.
 The Tyner-Barrett case was begun on May ? and has been before the court nineteen full days. A great mass of testimony was offered. The prose cution brought forward an army of witnesses, majority of whom were former officers of bond investment companies, through which Harrison J. Barrett, the junior, defendant, was al- legged to have profited after he left the postofice department by practicing be- fore his uncle, who remained in the de- partment.
 The principal arguments made were { by A. S. Worthington for the defense and Major General Holmes Conrad, special counsel for the government for the prosecution. The latter directed his i efforts almost entirely to an attempt to i counteract any influence on the Jurors verdict which might result from sym pathy for General Tyner. He told the jury that they had rio right to enter tain sympathy for General Tyner or the young wife of MT. Barrett, who was witness in the defendants be- half

yAzoo CITY IN RUINS.
All Important Business and Residen.
 tinl Pnrts Destroyed.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, May 26.-A report City, Miss, that the disastrous fire there is now believed to be under con. k,ol. The loss is roughly estimated at S3.O00,O00 The fire destroyed all the business houses of any importance, q large number of private residences, the principal hotel and the passenger de pot. everything from the river on the south, q distance of twelve blocks and three blocks wide.
 All railroad wires in Yazoo City have been burned, and outside there is no communication with the stricken town.
 A late dispatch says that the fire will entail loss of nearly S3.00000O. All the banks. business houses, newspaper offices, postoffice, courthouse, city hall and other buildings have been de stroyed.
 Trains loaded with fire apparatus are being rushed from Greenwood and Jackson. The fire originated in the block occupied by the Western Union and Postal telegraph companies and the telegraph exchange, and shortly afterward all communication with Ya- zoo City was completely cut off.
 It is reported that the residence of John Sharp Williams, minority leader in the house of representatives has been burned. The fire burned nine hours, destroying total of POO houses. The financial loss will be the heaviest in the history of Mississippi since the war.
 The city was putting in a new sys- tenn of waterworks, and the old sys- tenn, which had wooden mains, was wholly inadequate to meet the demand. Pipes burst all over the city, and it was impossible to get the water even to the first floors of buildings. A man named Chambliss, citizen of this place, was killed by falling walls, and Mayor Holmes was very badly hurt. The fire jumped bayou and reached Latonia, residence suburb, where it destroyed some of the finest homes. About sixty families are home. less.
 Governor Vardaman promptly or dered out the Greenwood militia com pany, which has gone to Yazoo City to protect property.

The great obstacles to the substitu- ton of electricity for steam as a mo- tive power upon railroads. according to President Mellen, are the character of the construction of the roads them- selves, the frequency of crossings and the danger attending the conducting of power by third rail.
