CONDENSED STORIES.
How an Irish Jurors Wit Helped the
Defendant.

his early days when he was counsel
for an insurance company in Ken,
lucky, says the New York Herald.
The company had brought an &C
ton against the proprietor OF !

been destroyed by fire under rathe'
suspicious circumstances.
The proprietor was put on TIL

pacity as counsel, undertook durin, /:

break down the story of the fire
All the articles OF the Questione'
were, however, of no avail, for the
proprietor stuck to his tale and
there seemed to be little nope of dis
crediting the TESTIMONY Offered b.
him.
The defendant was about to leave
the box, when an Irishman, whc
had been following the testimor,
with i'll concealed Impotence, shout
ed out in stentorian tones:

to the store, ye ran away. heh? ?"
At this the unfortunate trades
man became visibly embarrassed

under the renewed questioning Of
Mr.. Carlisle, who was not slow &c
follow up the advantage afforded by
the Celt's unexpected outburst, th>
proprietor virtually admitted hi:
guilt, whereupon his conviction
speedily ensued.
When the proceedings were Owe

Minneapolis, Aug. 3o.-Harmony
characterized the opening proceedings
of the democratic state convention
in the international auditorium.
The Hearst and antl-Hearst forces
locked arms and looked pleasant.
Captain w. H. Harrles of Caledonia,
was elected temporary chairman with
out opposition, and in stirring
speech he called the attention of the
delegates to the opportunity pre-
sented in this state. The opening re-
marks of Chairman Buck also en-
phasized the need of strong state
ticket, which would command the
votes of republicans as well as demo-
Gratis.
Recess was taken until $3.50 %. M.
At 1856 this afternoon the demo-
cratic state convention succeeded in
nominating a candidate for governor.
w. S. Hammond of st. James, in a
short, eloquent address, presented the
name Of John A. johnson of ST. Peter.
as candidate for the party, the
speaker characterizing him as man
whose party loyalty mad never been
questioned, who had been faithful in
office, whose character and reputation
are white and clean.
The nomination was received with
great enthusiasm. Delegates rose in
their seats, cheering and raising their
hats in their enthusiasm. Seconding
speeches were made by Frank Brady
of Hennepin county, T. ]. McDermot,
st. Paul, and Martin Hughes Of Hib-
bing.
John A. johnson is the first candi-
date for the Office of governor of Min

A committee, consisting of L. A.

Minneapolis, and G. D. O'Brien of st.

johnson and bring him before the
convention, after the nomination had

TEAS THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In China's
Show at the Worlds Fair---The Most
Populous Nation of the World For
the First Tine Makes an Exhibit
Worthy Of Her Greatness.

Many expositions of stupendous char
acter make up the Worlds Fair OF
1904. Each part is vast and distinct
show. Each building shelters many
acres Of wonderful things wonderful
because they are the choicest of their
kind. Every nation on the globe is
represented. Every state and territory
is here with its best and making the
most of its greatest opportunity.
The fact that China has not been a
large exhibitor at worlds fairs gives
to her. great exhibit here a prominence
quite exceptional 1t is a wonderland
of ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason of her extensive
exports Of teas, which have found a
vast market in the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her to make a dis
play Of teas that we should not for
get.
In sealed glass jars China displays in
the Liberal Arts Palace some 1900
kinds Of tea. Young Hyson and Old
Hyson have string of tea relations
longer than the genealogical chain of a
Plymouth Rock They are neatly Sc
lected ..chops," in the language Of the
tea farmer, and these classes do not
embrace medicinal teas. which are
quite another lot in the rather modest
number of 400.
The teas exhibited vary in price from
few cents a pound to some rare and
exclusive kinds that are worth their
weight in gold, the tea in the latter
cases being placed on one side of the
scales and pure gold on the other
that is to say, the tea of this expensive
kind is worth about $40 gold an. ounce.
Only very small quantity Of this ex-
elusive leaf is exhibited, and tt is
grown in carefully guarded tea planta-
lions or gardens right under the shad-
ows of the great wall Of China. Its Gull
