Democratic County Convention

Democratic County Convention
The rampant democratic enthusiasm
this year was well shown at the dem
ocratic county convention at the
court house on Monday of this week.
The desire to endorse Bryan and de-
feat once more was SO strong that
almost SO per cent Of the elected del
egates came to the convention, and
the enthusiasm was SO great that
when the resolution was read announ
cling that the peerless Bryan would
be the next president there was in
tense silence. Not a sound disturbed
the delegates and the only movement
was Judge Thorne placing his hand
before his face to hide his grin. Dur
ing the days when the Judge was a
republican he developed a sense of
humor that makes it difficult for him
to listen to democratic resolutions in
becoming frame of mind.
At the morning session w. p. Fer
guson was elected chairman and H.
P. Syp secretary. Committees were
appointed for various purposes, and
an adjournment until P. NJ. taken.
The convention met quite promptly
afternoon and the usual soap be-
tween the insurgents and the organi-
cation developed at once over the
election of delegates to the state con-
vetion, and the insurgents won-on-
ly just what they were fighting about
did not seem apparent to anyone.
even themselves.
The resolutions carried their trade
mark with them in the announcement
that the next cogress would have a
big democratic majority. For doz-
en- years Brother Lawless has made
this announcement with regularity
just as the frost was leaving the
ground, and it has become SO much
Of habit that the people expect it
as much as the robins coming. and
most of our citizens won't believe it
is really spring until they see this
announcement. If he keeps it up an
other dozen years it may come true
just once.
The following delegates to the state
convention were selected: ]. B. TraS
Ter. ]. G. Given, Frank Means, ].
T. Lawless.J. G. Mcdonald. E. G. Con
dit and J. l.. Woods.
At the close of the official business
under the head Of good of the par
ty." we presume, several members of
the county committee attempted to
air their their private troubles. 1t
was wash day anyway. and it looked
as II they would make a good job of

out of order and suppressed all but

sALUTING A CAT.
Unusual Custom Observed by Indian
Government.

In Poona. at the government house,
for more than a quarter of century,
every cat which passed out of the
front door at dark was saluted by the
sentry. who presented arms to the
terrified pussy.
It seems that in 1888 Sir Robert
Grant, governor of Bombay, died in
the government house, Poona, and on
the evening of the day of his death a
cat was seen to leave the house by the
front door. and to walk up and down
a particular path, precisely as the late
governor had been used to do after
sunset. A Hindu sentry observed and
reported this to the Sepoys of his
faith, and they laid the matter before
a priest, who explained to them the
mystery of the dogma of the transmit
grafton of souls.
I'm this cat he said, twas reincar-
mated the soul of the deceased Gov.
Grant, and it should, therefore, be
treated with the military honors due
to his excellency."

Louis XIV. style; tapestries of rarest
value are to be sought out for the
halls and staircase, to hang against
the white marble walls. The drawing
room is of a peculiar L shape and will
require vast quantity of fine things
to fill it. AS it now stands the walls
are undecorated, but Mr.. Drexel in
tends to cover them with old French
brocades and Italian silk tapestries
in accordance with the style chosen
for each room.
All this is to provide a temporary
home for Miss Drexel, his only daugh-
ter. He proposes to give some great
entertainments for her next year, as
his Carlton House Terrace home could
only permit parties of limited size.
Across the square, at No. Al, Mrs.
Drexel will have her sister, Mrs.
James H. Smith, widow of Silent
Smith. which house she took from
Lord Winburnholme some time ago.
No. %, however, stands alone at the
junction of North Audley and Upper
Brook streets. The Italian embassy is
opposite, on the other corner.
1t is the largest available mansion
in Mayfair. 1t has more sleeping ac-
commodations than Dorchester House,
the home of the Reds. Thirty servants
are needed for it. The mansion was
in such request for great entertain
ments this year that the owners were
obliged to refuse it to anyone until
after Reginald McKenna's wedding,
which was held there.
At the wedding Lady Jekyll was
able to entertain 500 guests with ease
in it's spacious rooms. The wide mar
BILE staircase and minstrels' gallery on
the mezzanine floor are special fea-
lures.

HAVE EGG-sHAPED HEAD.
Queer Fashions Among the Natives OF
the New Hebrides.

The egg-shaped heads OF some OF
the natives OF Malekula, N the Rev
Hebrides. were once thought to be
naturally conical. For that reason
scientific men decided that the Male
kulans were in the lowest rung OF the
human ladder. says the National Geo
graphical Magazine.
Later it was found that the conlcai
heads were produced as the Chinese
women distorted their feet, by binding
them in infancy The egg-shaped head
is still fashionable in Malekula, where
some extraordinary results are
achieved
The conical shape is produced by
winding strong sennit cord spirally
about the heads of young babies and
Tightening the coils from tirpr to time.
A piece of plated mat is fist put on
the head and the cord is coiled over
this, so as to give it a good purchase
The crown of the head is left to de-
veI1pa in the upward and backward
fashion that is so r1uch admired.

ever enjoyed the buzz of admiration
that has greeted her entrance into
drawing room. Few have met his
majesty, the king, on such cordial
terms.
OF course, Miss Drexel has had
more than one eligible sutton, most
of them with titles, but she remains
fancy free and heart whole. She is en-
ioying the delights of life close to the
throne with all the ardor of a young
girl just out of her teens. She knows
perfectly well that she mustn't be car
ried off with it-she has the discrim-
mating eye of woman much older
than she is herself.
A few nights ago her mother gave
grand ball at their home in Carlton
House Terrace, closing the London
season there. Miss Drexel set new
fashion-she wore no jewels of any
kind, though possessed of enough to
ransom king.
She was in palest blue shimmering
silk. Her hair was simply parted and
she looked the beautiful young girl

Or so would take their hint from the
American girl who had everything,
and drop their tendency to vie with
their mothers in their display of mar
velous jewels.
At another dance given by Mrs.
DreXel at which royalty was present,
Miss DreXel was equally simple in her
attire. She wore soft pink tulle. Scat
tered over it were tiny pink rosebuds;
in the petals of each lay tiny dia-
mond dewdrop. A wreath of the
same rosebuds nestled in her fair hair
and in her hand she carried a bunch
of little pink rosebuds. Prince Francis
Of Teck was her devoted admirer and
Miss DreXel accepted his attentions
with easy aplomb, as she did those of
a full dozen of other titled eligibles.
Miss DreXel has two devoted at
tendants in the persons of her bro
theirs. They have taught her to sail
a boat. to golf and tennis, to bowl and
keep wicket at cricket, and to
swim. Were it not for her mothers
wise interference she would have
taken an aerial expedition with them.

about IS inches. This object is a

symmetrical in it's proportions and
