Senator, in support for Lane votes,
cinched the matter. 1t was card
held in reserve. There are rumors to-
day that Boyd will be Lanes secre-
tary if Lane is elected.
THE ticket, on the whole, so far is
the best ever put up in this county, ~
said Territorial Chairman Atkinson
this morning. Republicans generally
appeared to regard the list of candl.
dates as a good one, with the special
exception of Kaea.
The fight for nominations for rep
Tesentative from the Fourth is among
the following: j. C. Cohen, Solomon
Hanohano, A. D. Castro. Geo. Maka-
lena, R. w .Shing1e, E. A. Douthitt,
John X. Kamanoulu, Robert Baker and
e. A. c. Long.
Some of those on this list are ac-
cused by Lane men of having worked
between ballots Saturday night to
bring about Hustace's withdrawal in
favor of Lucas, and for this they
may lose Lane mems support. Several
states are out, with Long, Hanohano
and Kamanoulu on all of them. Six
are to be chosen.
Judd is wanted for head of the
county committee, with Chillingwortn
as vice chairman.
This afternoon the Republican slate
makers are having caucusses. The
Lane element has one big caucus with
Chillingworth. 1t is said that Douthitt
will be on this slate, Chillingworth be-
ing out for him. Seeing that 1 was
left out of the slate given in the Ad-
vertiser this morning." said Douthitt
this afternoon, 81 have made inquiries
among leaders in various precincts, and
am assured of the strongest kind OF
support"
Shingle and Cohen also seem sure oi
nomination. The trading off of dele
gates, or concentration on states, will
be pretty well settled by the time the
, convention meets.
Democratic leaders have been trying
again today to get Trent to run fol
mayor.

The Republicans are to finish their
nominating tonight, and are having a
lively tussle over Fourth District leg
islative nominations. There may also
be a change in the Fifth nominations
as already made. Kaea, one of the
men up for representative, has rec
ord as a convicted gambler which
doesn't look good to the party.
Discussions today OF the results OF
Saturdays voting generally incline to
the view that the Kuhio incident, to-
gether with drunken Markham's no
mination of Hustace, put Hustace out
of the race for mayor. 1t is also gen.
orally recognized that there was. very
heavy and strong race fight made by
some of Lanes workers. Lane is; how
ever, credited with acting with dignity
and propriety. During a recess he ex-
pressed personally to Hustace his re-
gret that the latter had been attack
ed on the convention floor.
1t is thought by some that Kuhio
will lose some votes for his savage
entry into the county fight. There are
many today who are decidedly Sore
over it, and his speech Of Saturday is
generally regarded as a political mis-
take. However, there is lots OF time
between now and November for the
soreness to heal.
Senator Chillingworth managed
Lanes campaign and is being con-
graduated on his success. He show
ed great energy and ability, and es-
pecially between ballots, when the sit
uation was critical, he put in strokes

drawal of Boyd from the candidacy ror

LORD BALTIMORE RECEIVES.
Formal Dedication Of the New Con-
federate Home.

The newly purchased Confederate home
located at 1922 Vermont avenue was for
mally dedicated yesterday afternoon and
last evening in the form of Baltimore
tea and reception, which was largely at
tended by Confederate veterans, their
friends and families living in the District.
The exercises were of very simple and
informal nature, consisting principally of
a reception by members of the board of
trustees of the building. The callers were
welcomed in the large auditorium or as
sembly room and were then taken through
as much of the building as has already
been furnished or partially so.
About 10 o'clock, as reminder Of CO.
lonial days, a stately minuet was danced
by persons interested in the affair, clothed
in the typical continental costumes.
Those who appeared in costume were r.
c. Dutton as Lord Baltimore, Miss Annie
Peyton as Lady Baltimore, Misses
Fauntleroy. Shaffer. Young, Parham, Will
kins, Barrie, Saunders and Wilson.
The names of the patronesses of the tea
and the board of trustees have already
been published in The Star.
The building is to be in charge of Mrs.
r. II. Bocock as superintendent and will
be devoted to practically everything of a
Confederate nature in the District. Aged
soldiers Of the confederacy will be cared
for in the home. where they will receive
the kindest consideration from the rela-
tives and friends of the men they fought
with from 1861 to 1865.

They had just been given breakfast when
a wild yell from Mondays cot startled
the attendants and inmates.
Before any one had time to act the
old man leaped from his cot although
he had been bedridden for several
months, and ran with surprising agility
to the balcony outside, which connects
with covered stairway. Shouting.
Monday darted up the stairway.

bed and tried to seize him before he
showed the window up and shot through
it. but their feeble strength was of no
avail against Mondays sudden, crazed
vitality.
Attendants ran up the stairway after
him, but the old man reached the balcony
on the third floor before they had mount
ed half a dozen steps. He looked back at
them, shook his fist and plunged head
first over the rail. His skull was frac-

landed in the yard.

To Make Paris Streets Clean.
Paris Corr. London Express.

FaTlS COTr LONDON EXPRESS.
NJ. Lepine Is at his wits end how to
secure a reasonable amount of cleanliness
for the streets Of Paris. The Paris streets
have recently become SO Uttered with all
sorts of rubbish that the public has pro-
tested against the nuisance. The police,
in reply, have called attention to the fact
that the public is itsef largely to blame
Paris tradesmen advertise in newspapers
much less than London tradesmen, and
prefer advertisement by leafiet. In con-
sequence, millions of leaf1et advertise
ments are distributed in the streets of
Paris every day, and most of them are
glanced at and thrown down.
NJ. Lepine. some time ago, had num-
Der of receptacles put up at convenient
height on the Paris lamp posts to obviate
the nuisance. but the receptacles remain
empty, and papers of all colors strew the
pavements more than ever. He now pro-
poses to take the serious measure Of ar
resting and filming about lbs. as a max
imum) anybody seen throwing down
piece of paper. and has asked parliament
to vote him authority. If the vote be
passed it will be a curious sight to see
Parisians crowding round the Boulevard
lamp posts to get rid of the handfuls Of
advertisements they have collected every
few yards on their way.

Vagaries Of Memory.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The vagaries of the old mans memory
are indeed curious. Lord Houghton told
Sir Mountstuart Grant Duff that he had
once been present when Lord Lyndhurst
and DIR. Washington were asked what
was the most interesting thing that they
remembered. "Ohr' said Lyndhurst, "un-
doubtedly the day which I spent with
Washington at Mount Vernon ''Ohr'
said Washington, undoubtedly the week
which | spent with Burke at Beacons-
field" Naturally they were asked to tell
something of what had passed on these
occasions. but neither of them could
remember anything whatever. There is
much to be said for assisting; the memory
of good things with diary, as Sir Mount
stuart himself did.

Rheumatism and Hare's Foot.

From the London Chronicle.
Rheumatism is not the only ailment for
which the possession Of a hare's foot has
been specific. Mr.. Pepys had one as a
charm against the collie. but he was never
quite sure whether he ought to be CRATE
full to it. At the end Of 1854. noting his
abnormally good health TO- some months
past, he remarked: But I am at a great
loss TO know whether 1t be my hare's foot
or taking every morning a pill Of turpen-
tine or my having left of the wearing of
a gown" Three weeks later friend
showed him that his hare's foot was de-
fective, not having 1.-The joint to it"-"and
il lis a strange thing how fancy works.
for no sooner handled his foot but be-
came very we'll and so continue" Pepys
got another hare's foot and throye again,
but in March we find, him still wondering
whether this was due to the charm or

How Far a Waiter Walks.

FTOM BIts.
Have you any idea OF how much ground
a waiter covers in performing his day
work? At a certain hotel which has a
long narrow dining room the matter was
recently put to the test, and the head
waiter was armed with q pedometer
when he went on duty at am. When he
had retired after the dinner hour he had
covered ten miles and fraction. He as,
serts that this long record of distance
covered in a single room is largely the
result of the telephone and the social life
of the hotel. He not only must seat all
patrons. but he personally carries to
them the names of callers and all sum-
monses to the telephone. The latter, he
says. is one of the greatest annoyances
the head waiter undergOes.

Louisiana Going Back to Sugar.


More than 800 planters and farmers of
Avoyelles parish held a meeting at Mo-
reauville October 13 to consider the sit
uation brought about by the ravages of
the boil weevil. After full discussion 1t
was decided that their "only hope for the
future was to diversity their crops more,
including the planting Of a large amount
of sugar cane" A general movement in
this direction has set in among the cot
ton farmers of all the parishes where
cane can be grown, and 1t is manifest
that Louisiana's sugar industry will
henceforth be more than ever before the

dustrial welfare and development
