THE CONVENTION.

II is reported that the constitutions
al convention shall stay in session
until the work is well completed. To
that proposition the state cordially
agrees. 1t is clearly right.
The convention can by giving days
to committee work prolong the time
in Guthrie until all the work is com
pleted and in order That will be
more satisfactory than a constitution
hurriedly framed and made unworthy
of adoption.
Legislation that did not belong to
the convention has been offered and
occasioned delay in the progress OF
the work, but it is gratifying that We
can all believe that We are going tc
have a good constitution. 1t will TAX,

In addition to this there were re-

presumably chiefly from the British
territory adjacent.
OF the $59.OOOOOO worth of mer-
chandise sent To the noncontiguous
territories, about $22,O00,O00 worth
went TO Porto Rico, $l75OO,OO0 to
Alaska, Sl2 100000 to Hawaii and 81
OO0.O to the Philippine Islands. The

A Preachers Odd Dream.

It was the habit of the Rev. James
Sturgeon, grandfather Of the great
preacher of that name, to pray each
evening under certain oak tree in
a secluded wood in Honeywood park.
one night he dreamed the story goes,
that Satan appeared and threatened
to tear him in pieces if he followed
his accustomed route to the tree.
There vas another path by which he
might go in safety. Remembering his
dream, Spurgeon felt sorely tempted
the next night To take the route in
which Satan was not, But this would
be to capitulate. Trembling in every
limb he made his way by the path
in which the danger lay. He reached
his goal in safety, and in prayer and
song returned thanks for delivery
from peril. When his prayer was
ended he rose to return. In his pain

When Stamps Delay Letters.

THE only way 10 stop people from
mastering a stamp at any old place
upon the envelope except
one is to do as is done in England.
There n letter which does not have the

aside and handled only when all other

idea was advanced by postal clerk

Linen Sheets a Luxury.

Owing to considerable distress
prevailing in many agricultural dis
tricts, writes Consul General b. II.
Ridgely, of Barcelona, the purchasing
power of the Spaish peasants has
been greatly curtailed. In former years
n large trade was done throughout
Spain in bleached linen and linen
yarns. No household, however humble,
but owned its set of linen sheets,
which formed part of the dowry of ev-
cry peasant girl on her wedding day.
on account of the greater cost of
linen which has placed it among the
list of luXuries, this once important
branch of trade has dwindied down
to an insignificant figure.

Last night the Brigham Company

comedy drama, TO an lrge audience at
the Astoria Theater. The play was well
received, and the liberal applause which
the company received last night proves
that the performance was pleasing and
satisfactory. Mr.. Brigham appears in a
character part in this play and was re-
sponsible for great deal of the comedy
and fun. Mr.. Frank Howe. the Juvenile,
with the company, appeared to good ai-
vantage last night. and Miss Dorothy
Brokate, the leading lady, has a part
which she plays very successfully, that
of simple country girl, Her emotional
scenes were very effective. Miss Daven-
port deserves mention for she played
two parts very nicely. Mr.. ROYAL and

a favorable impression. There is no
doubt but what MY Sweetheart" will
please all those who see it as it is pre-
sented by the Brigham Company.
