N~S4bAAOC0 6hk0 OuSsl has failed to instruct It's delegates to St. Louis.
 MT Grady has told you that some- thing may occur between now and July. Nothing will occur to make Judge Park CT any less the available candidate than he Is now. We know that there Is not candidate before us today except Alton B. Parker with any chance of election.
 The Stand of New York.
 As the friends of Judge Parker. we must enlighten the other States of the Union that the Democracy of the State of New York. either by unanimous or majority vote. has expressed itself in favor of the election of the only avail able candidate that the United States has today"
 Congressman W. Bourke Cochran fol- lowed in a ringing speech. He said:
 Senator McCarren seems to have ad- dressed himself to the smallest boy in the gallery. You shall decide between us.
 The minority resolution states, as I understand. why Judge Parker might be the best and most available candidate for the presidency that the Democracy could name. The majority of the Committee gave no reasons whatever why Judge Parker should be presented to the con- vention. The minority asks that this convention send a delegation to St. Louis to represent the interests of the party in the standard of its welfare: the ma- jority wishes to go to St. Louis and ask that Judge Parker be nominated to oblige us.
 "The minority thinks that we ought to give a reason why Judge Parker should be nominated.
 Appeal of Cochran.
 Now in the interests of the Democ- racy and the candidate. Is 1t not appar- ent that if this plan of consummated the inevitable deduction will be that the Democratic party cannot agree on any thing; that 1t has adopted principles of platitudes and cannot recommend cam didate who will stand for anything or nothing.
 ''Now the minority has a higher opin- men who profess to be his friends seem to entertain"
 Senator Hill arose in the Albany dele gation amid wild cheering and suggested that the vote be taken by sections. This was agreed to. The minority amendment was lost by a vote of 149 ayes and S0I nays.
 The platform as originally reported was adopted by a viva voce vote, the list of delegates, alternates and electors was read and the New York State Com mittee was elected.
 A resolution was adopted that the State Committee be authorized to fill any and all vacancies that may occur in the list of presidential electors and delegates at large.
 At 1O:SO the convention adjourned with out day.

President of Structural Iron Workers
 So Advises His Organization.
 New York, April 1S.-An official address by President Frank Buchanan. of the In- ternational Association of Bridge Struc- tural Iron Workers, has been presented at meetings of the local unions. After discussing the arbitration agreement, in effect here, the president says:
 T am hopeful that the members of the International Association will be bene- f1ted by their costly experience in New York and be more watchful to see that the union dictates to the business agents instead of permitting few individuals to dictate to the union. Cut out good fel- lowshtp and personal friendship and se- feet men on their merits.
 "Our association should keep agree ments inviolate. A fair agreement means fair days pay for a fair days work. The men who are trying to use the union to hold their jobs, when they are un- able or unwilling to do a fair days work ia a workman-like way, are enemies to the principles that trades unionism is founded upon. an an organization that will permit its strength to be used for such purposes will come to grief in the end"

HIS GLADIOLUS BULB.
He Thought He Planted One, But
Twas Only a Rubber Ball.

No matter what ones path in life
may be. or how carefully he treads it.,
there are pitfalls into which he will
sooner or later stumble, and most I'M
|eXpectedly. Such was the experience
of one of Augustus respected citizens,
the other day.
He is n good husband and fathe~
mild in manner, and 4 great lover Of
nature. He loves to hear the birds
sing, to see the trees put forth their
leaves, the plants their blossoms, and
one of the things which he most en-
joys. although he knows very little
about such things, is his wife's flower
garden.
1t was this love of flowers that led
him to the pit into which he fell. Hav-
ing occasion to go over to a neighbours
for something he was overjoyed to
receive from the housewife what she
said was a gladiolus bulb, to be taken
to his wife. The thing to him looked
like 4 small lump of EARTH in the CEN
ter of which was an object with Il few
green sprouts growing from it.
His wife was in the conspiracy, but
he knew it not. and when he showed
UP Win tHe DulD, SIic WIS ue!gnteG,
and suggested that it be set out at
once, so he got a trowel, and as he
knelt by the flower bed and softened
up the earth to receive his treasure, he
thought of the time when the plant
should flourish. even as the green bay
tree. and put forth the scarlet bios
SONS that would delight all eyes, and
when it was nicely set in it's place, he
went gaily down town to his work.
For the next day or two no plant
ever had more careful attention paid
it, and then the mans wife could hold
out no longer. so she told him that the
gladiolus bulb he was so carefully
tending, was no bulb at all, but an old
rubber ball which some children had
torn and thrown away, and that what
he thought was sprouts We're only p
few spears of witchgrass that were
starting from the dirt with which the
ball was filled.

Augusta friends of Llewellyn 3. Cain
are glad to learn of the success of the
vocal recital given by his pupils In
Kotzschmar hall. Portland. Thursday
evening. The Portland Press says:
THE fact that Portland has artistic
teachers of music in all of it's various
lines. and also many students OF
marked musical talent was fully DEM
onstrated last evening from a vocal
standpoint. The program was excep-
tionally good and of an unusually high
order and was presented in a thor
oughly satisfactory manner. The large
audience showed much interest and en-
thusiasm while the various pupils ac-
quilted themselves in a way that re-
hected great credit on their teacher.
All possessed good voices and sang
with excellent method, the particularly
good diction and distinct enunciation
were most noticeable

formation about the country at that
time, giving not only all the COM

departments which now have hundreds
of clerks then had less than half a

LETTER TO MAYOR ROBERTSON
Augusta, Maine.

Dear Sir: But few of the men who
sell the hundred different paints in the
market know much about them. All
Devoe agents have a State chemist S
certificate telling just what it's made
of; they know a good deal, not only
about Devoe but the rest; we see that
they do. We buy every paint, that has
any sale, and analyze it. Our agent
finds out all about it.
When We know what paint is made
of. we know how it will act; we know
how far it goes, and how long it wears.
Devoe is the standard; call it 100.
The best of the rest is about IS: the
worst about %; the rest are between.
But the men who sell them, don't
know any better. They know what the
maker tells them. That is: they know
that he tells them. They don't know
whether he tells them the truth or not.
The business is not conducted on
knowledge; the less they know. the
more comfortable they are.
Yours truly.
F. w. DEVOE & co.

JUMPED THE SWITCH.
Serious Accident at Mott Haven-En-
sineer Badly Hurt.

New York, May 22.-Three passenger
coaches filled with passengers had each
a side ripped off by a locomotive on the
New York. New Haven & Hartford rail-
road at Mott Haven. today, yet no one in
either coach was injured.
James Burns. the engineer on the loco
motive. jumped and was SO badly hurt
that he may not recover. The fireman
who also jumped, received only a few
slight bruises.
The engine and damaged coaches were
part of a local train that was being
switched from the main track to the
depot siding while moving at a speed of
u miles an hour. The engine which was
passing the train, did not take the switch
The breaking of the coupling caused the
train to slacken speed and the engine
dashed ahead on the main track, tearing
out the sides of the last three coaches
These coaches and the engine were derail-
ed and blocked traffic on the road until
nearly midnight.
A panic among the passengers follow
ed the accident and physicians who were
summoned revived several fainting Wo-
men, but the engineer was the only per-
son who required surgical aid.

NORDICA'S DIVORCE.
Case to Be Rcopened in Compliance
with Doeme's Petition.

New York, May Fudge MacLean,
Saturday, appointed former Judge Joseph
+. Daily referee to take testimony in the
matter of SOltan Doeme, who asks to
have the interlocutory judgment obtained
by his wife, Lillian Nordica Doeme, va
Gated as null and void. on the ground
that the courts never had jurisdiction of
the parties, and on the further ground
that such Judgment was obtained by
fraud and COLLISION. Doeme further asks
that, ii this relief be not granted, the
interlocutory Judgment he vacated. and
the action reopened and sent to a referee,
with the right TO HIM (Doene) to inter-
pose a new answer or demurrer to the
complaint. Had Judge MacLean vacated
the Judgment as null and void. it would
have put an end to the action brought by
Nine. Nordica. and she would have been
compelled to commence new action if
she desired to secure a divorce. Judge
MacLean. however. only vacates the
Judgment SD far as to allow the action to
be reopeEeI. so that Doeme might intro
ducc testimony before the referee. which
will have the adequate result, if a report
be made to the court declaring that Mime
Nordica is not entitled to a divorce.
