Pennsylvania Republicans Meet.

Harrisburg, Pa, June 6-The repub-
ia, which was called to order at the
opera house this afternoon, by w. r.
Andrews, chairman of the republican
state central committee, is the first
one held in this state for many years,
that is not under the direct control
of the republican machines. Its de-
feat at last election practically shat
tered the controlling power of the re-
publican machine,and. so far as known
the convention held here today is free
from dictation and can do as it sees
At.
Senator Knox, who was made per-
manent chairman, in his address dealt
almost exclusively with national poll
teal questions and the position which
the republican party is taken concern
ing them. The morning session of the
convention was devoted almost alto
gether to routine matters, as the Sc
lection of the committee ands and con-
sideration of committee reports. The
real battle will not be begun until af-
ter luncheon.
Never was the situation in a repub-
lican state convention in this state
more peculiar and unsettled than in
this case. The convention has the task
to nominate candidates for governor,
lieutenant governor, editor general, Sec
rotary of international affairs. There
is no lack of possible candidates for
the gubernatorial nomination. but
there does not seem TO be an single
candidate upon whom the various fac
lions in the party seem likely to unite.

How To Find a Gas Leak.

The folly of hunting for a leak in a
gas pipe with a lighted match is not
so much because of the danger OF a.
explosion as of other damage, as is
shown by the experience IF a West
Philadelphia householder last week.
One or two small Jerks were detected
by going over all the pipes and holding
a lighted match TO them. The smell of
gas ceased, but was replaced a few
wood. Another visit to the cellar show
ed charred floor joist little distant
above a gas pipe. There was no appar-
ent cause for this until very close
examination discovered that a tiny jet
of gas issuing from the pipe beneath
the beam. It was lighted, but was so
small as to be blue in color and tearly
invisible. 1t had been lighted by the
match used in the first investigation,
but had not been noticed.
IF that leak had happened 10 be in
a lead joint instead of an iron connec-
tion," said a gas man, there would
probably have been work for the fire
department. The smallest possible jet
of Lighted gas issuing through lead will
in time heat and melt the lead and
make the lead larger, until a big flame
is issuing. This may make a fire hours
later in the dead Of night or at a time
when no one is in the house. The only
proper way to look for these very
small leaks is to paint the suspected
pipe with a smooth soap lather. Just
as in the case of a bicycle tire. the
tiniest leak will blow a bubble in the
lather, and there you are."-Philadel-
phia Record.

Some of Marion county's Friends.

There are quartered at the Monte
xuma hotel some business men who
play a potent and prominent but un-
obtrusive part in making Marion coun-
ty products.
They are J. T. Sutphin, representing
the j. Hamburger Co., commission
merchants, of New York, whose genial
bon hommie and felicitous wit has
enlivened Ocala business and social
circles for five years past: j. H. Nor
ris, of the Armour Packing Company,
whose headquarters are usually at An
thony; David H Adams. soliciting
agent for the Armour car lines, the
Fruit Growers Express and the Kan
sas City Fruit Express, who is famil-
iarly and facetiously referred to by his
friends as the agent of the Distress
Lines" and l. NJ. Fleming. All these
boys, who by the way, are pregnant
with intelligence as well as prolific of
wit, report this as one Of the best
produce seasons Marion county has
ever experienced.

MISSOURI DEMOCRATS
ENDORSE BRYAN.
Most Significant Feature Was the
Strong Speech of David r. Francis
In Favor of Bryan for Presi-
dent in 1908 and Cheering
OF Names OF Cieve-
land and Bryan in
Unison

Jefferson, Mo-, June 5.-What is gen
orally regarded as the most significant
feature of the democratic state conven-
ton held today was the pointed and
absolute endorsement of William Jen-
nings Bryan for the presidency in 1908,
by David r. Francis, Of St. Louis, for
mer governor and the secretary of the
interior in President Cleveland's cabi-
net.
Former Governor d. r. Francis was
invited to address the convention. He
said in part:
II wish to ask this convention to
send its congratulations to the national
democracy ON the disappearance of our
differences. There are no differences
between US now. In 1904 what is
known as the conservative element of
our party asked that it be allowed to
make the platform and name the can
didate. Right literally did the radi-
cal faction concede the honor and the
OOhoO4 OAO1ACAs~ 4C0 hAOW Tie
result. Now another campaign is APP
preaching. Those OF us who belong to
what has been the conservative fac.
ton would like to be magniaimous
worthy democrats If we did not say to
you that We win support your candi-
dates and platform this time. The diff
ference has been divided the democracy
exists no longer"
Gov. Francis described Bryan as "a
sincere lover of humanity and a pat
riotic citizen of the United States"
He eulogized both Bryan and Cleve-
land amid wild cheering.
Gov. Folk also spoke declaring that
Bryan would be nominated for presi-
dent in 1908. and would be elected. He
said the principles which Bryan had
advocated in 1896 were then consider
ed anarchistic, but now are consider
ed the acme of patriotism.
Former Governor Deckery sopke in
similar vein.
The nomination made by the con-
vention were Reuban Oglesby, of War
rensburg, for railroad commissioner
and H. A. Gass, of Jefferson City, for
superintendent OF public schools.

Dear Sir-The undersigned, repre-

beg to call your attention to the seri-
Gus scarcity of labor throughout the

Another Outbreak.

1t is many a long day since that
veteran paper, the Punta Gorda Her
aid, has told good fish story, and no
other paper has dared to infringe on
patent rights. There is a strange
silence in the fish-yarn feature Of the
Herald. probably due to the exertions
OF Editor Jordan incident to the race
for representative OF DeSoto, but there
is still some hope for the reputation of
the Herald. That hope arises from the
publication OF, not a fish story, but
snake story-no brand Newfoundland
is warm rival to any of its fishy
predecessors. It is taken from the Chi
cago Inter-Ocean. and has to do with
the adventures of a hoe. The story is,
as usual, told by man of the strfctest
veracity. A farmer of a small tract of
land near an Ohio village was one day
hoeing potatoes, when he was startled
by a kissing sound. Looking up, he
saw something that appeared to be a
snake advancing toward him. 1t was
rolling over and over, like a hoop in
motion. He soon saw that it was a
real snake, and observed that it was
coming on fast-so fast that he lust
had time to step aside. AS the snake
passed, the farmer struck out his hoe
and the snake struck at it. burivng its
fangs in the handle and then passed
on.
The farmer started to resume his
work, when he noticed that the hoe
handle began to swell. 1t swelled and
swelled until it was as large as the
farmers leg. The farmer was perplexed
as he wished to finish his work and his
house was some distance away. Then
it occurred to him that as a boy he
had heard of a sort of weed that grew
Whereabouts and said to have been used
by the Indians to counterfeit the effects
Of snake bite. He went down into the
bottoms, found the weed, rubbed some
Of it on the hoe handle. The effect was
and the farmer was enabled to finish
his afternoons work. The strangest
thing about the incident was that the
handle turned a beautiful green color
like that of the snake, and afterwards
in the full of the moon it would feel
clammy for day or two.-St. Angus

Alfcnso-Remarkable History OF
Noted Family Recalled.

alive today she would smile over the
curious revenge that fate has brought
about in the matter of the "despised
Battenbergs."
When she gave her youngest daugh-
ter, the Princess Beatrice, to Henry
Maurice of Battenberg-a princeiing
without a principally, without estates
and penniless-she not only offended
all the other members of her family,
but put the royalties of Europe in a
ferment. The Prince of Wales, now
King Edward, made solemn protest
against the match; the Princess Victo-
ria, who afterward became the En-
press of Germany, made it a matter Of
diplomatic remonstrance: the chapels
royal were closed to the bride and
bridegroom, and they were obliged to
seek little parish church for the we'd
ding, and the passage of an act of
parliament according the prince slen-
der income was opposed by the entire
courtier faction.
Poor Prince Henry was so unhappy
over the family disputes that he begged
permission to lead an expedition to
western Africa, hoping that il might
prove fatal to him. And so it was, for
he died there of malaria on the 23d
Of January. 1885, leaving widow and
The second Of these children was
Victoria Eugene Julie Eve of Batten-
berg, popularity known as the Princess
Ena, who on Thursday last became the
queen Of all the SPANS.
A Polish Waiter.
The reason for the intense and an
cry opposition on the part of Victo-
ria's family to the match lay in the
= fact that the Battenbergs are descend
ed from Polish waiter, and that the
grandmother of the new queen of
Spain was morganatically married
The rise of the Princess Ena is there
fore one of the most dramatic in the
court romances Of Europe.
On the 18th Of November. 1926 a
baby girl was born to Polish servant
in the employ of the Grand Duke of
Darmstadt,' whose name was Isaac
Hauke. The baby girl grew to be a
lovely woman, and when Alexander of
Hesse saw her in 1851 he fell in love
with her and the two were married. AL
exander was Lutheran prince, and
the girl Julie Therere, was of the Jew
ish faith. Alexander was a prince and
Julie was commoner, but neither fate
nor station stood in the way of love
Alexander made a morganatic-some-
times called a -handed-marriage
with the handsome Flaulein Julie, who
was three years his senior, and Julie
became a Lutheran.
The easy-going Grand Duke OF
Darmstadt helped to smooth over the
matter by bestowing the Hessian title
of Countess of Battenberg on Prince
Alexander's wife. and as q baptismal
blessing gave her the title of princess
with a right Of descent in the title to
her children.
So it is that the descendants of this
morganatic marriage are not known by
the Hessian title, but by that of Bat
tenberg.
Four children were born to AleXan-
der and Julie-Princess Marie Caro-
line, Prince Alexander Joseph, Prince
Henry Maurice and Prince Frances

Fran cis Crowley is doing some tall hustling and it's quite likely will make a big jump skyward when his next count goes in.
