Where there is so much to commend
and "a little to criticize, where all the
EXHIBITS come so near to the standard,
as obtain in this years horticultural
exhibit, 1t is difficult to specialize on
any part OF the display, which as a
whole, is more complete and of higher
quality than was ever made at any pre-
Vious state fair.
Despite the fact that the best Of Utah

Dixie land had been sent to Albu-
uueraue, and had won the grand prize
against California and other strong

materially. The exhibits from Utah's
Dixie country show the far reachingg
possibilities OF this important industry
inSthis state. The grapes, figs, walnuts,
almonds and other nuts produced in
the Virgin river county equal in every
respect the same products grown in the
Golden state. The climatic, soil and
other conditions are especially favor
able to such production. and the in

as will add annually hundreds of thou

HOME INDUSTRIES.
Manufactures Hall Crowded to the
Limit With Utah Products.

OF the many features in the displays
surrounded by the walls Of Manufac-
lures Hall and covered by its roof,
there is none more noticeable than the
almost complete absence of diplays by
concerns outside of Utah. This is not
due to any prejudice but to necessity.
President Mcdonald explained it in
his speech when he said, II would
blush II told how many exhibitors
could not come in because of lack
of space and at that we provided for
Utah exhibitors And some of those
who were crowded out We're our own
people, Manufactures Hall, few
years ago would have held Utah's state
fairs in their entirely. This years
show of manufacturing exhibits is
crowded in 1t closely yet many dis
plays really entitled to space In it are
scattered outside. VT
This years displays are original and
instructive. a majority OF companies
find that showing how their products
are made draws big crowds. Where
ever possible products in process of
conversion from raw to finished mater
ials are shown. Great lessons are thus
taught tho fair visitors and the lessons
are impressed deeply yet easily. To

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS
Meet In Harrisburg to Choose Dele
gates to Denver.

Meet In Harrisburg to Choose Dele
gates to Denver.
Harrisburg, May 20. - The Demo
cratic state convention, called for the
purpose of electing four delegates-at-
large to the national convention in
Denver and to nominate a candidate
for superior court judge, met shortly
after eleven O'Clock this morning. The
real fight will occur over the efforts
of the supporters of William ]. Bryan
to force an instructed delegation for
him. The Democratic state organ1za-
ton. headed by Colonel ]. M. Guffey,
of Pittsburg, and ]. K. P. Hall, are op-
posed to an instructed delegation, and
claim sufficient votes to control the
convention.
For the element which follows the
leadership of Colonel Guffey the claim
of 21O of the 315 delegates opposed to
instructions, was reiterated. Inc
Bryanites made the direct claim thai
they would have 1856, at least, or 29
more than a majority of the dele
gates. With this strength they claim
ed the four national delegates-at'
large would be instructed for Bryan.
While the Bryan and anti-Bryan fea-
lures monopolize the attention OF the
convention managers, there are Gray
and Johnson booms on exhibition for
those who care to look them over.
Both the Gray and Johnson boomers
say that they are interested solely in
having the convention adopt no In
structions for Bryan or any other can
didate.
R. w. Irwin, of Washington county,
late candidate for superior court
Judge, was chosen temporary chair
man.
State Senator Webster Grim, OF
Doylsstown, will probably be the
nominee for superior court judge. He
is backed by the state organization
Robert E. Cresswell, of Johnstown.
who had been in the field as the Bry-
an candidate, has withdrawn.
In line with his program to capture
the convention from one end to the
other, Colonel Guffey will present John
Cadwalader, ST.. of Philadelphia, and
Albert j. Barr, Ol IltlSUuIS, dS CdA
didates for presidential electors-at-
large. He will present this slate for
delegates-at-large on the no-instruc-
tions basis: ]. M. Guffey, of Pittsburg;
]. K. P. Hall, of Ridgway, Elk county;
William H. Berry, of Delaware county
and Arthur G. Dewa1t, of Lehigh
county.
The Bryanites' candidates for dele
gates-at-large are Warren Worth
Bailey. of Johnstown; w. H. Berry,
John G. Hartman, of Columbia county;
H. H. Wilson, of Beaver county;
George w. Acklin, of Allegheny
county, and Joseph O'Brien, of Lacka-
wanna county.
Unquestionably the aim of some OF
the leading Bryanites is to unhorse
Colonel Guffey when the national dele
gates assemble at Denver. He or his
successor in the national committee
will be elected by majority vote of
the sixty-eight delegates from Penn
sylvania, including the four at large.

New York, May 20.-Mrs. c. E. Co

KILLED HIS FATHER
Son Slew Aged Parent to Keep
Him From Marrying.
Then TOOK HIS OWN LIFE

George sterry, Jr, Angry at Thought
Of Having a Young stepmother, Shot
AGED Merchant In His Office In
New York.
New York, May 20.-Because George
Sterry, an aged philanthropist, promi'
nent in business and religious circles,
had declared his intention of marrying
young school teacher, his son
George Sterry, Jr., shot and killed him
and then himself in the Office OF
Weaver & Sterry, in Pine street.
Mr.. Sterry was seventy-two years
old. and was the senior member OF
Weaver & Sterry, wholesale drug deal
srs. He was director of the Princeton
Theological seminary, member OF
the board of managers of the Ameri-
can society and of the American Tract
society. He was also president and
director of the Bloomfield Mills com
pany, and a director Of the Spring
Coal Mining company.
The young woman to whom Mr..
6terry was engaged to be married is
Miss Rebecca Blake, who lived IN
East Orange, N. ]. They were to have
been married early in June.
The announcement of the engage
ment was made last January, about
six months after the elder Sterry's
first wife died. Sterry's friends were
astonished and his three sons were
indignant. George, Jr., the eldest son,
who was forty-five years old, and mar
ried, took the announcement particu-
larly to heart It is now known that
he brooded over the coming marriage,
and repeatedly sxpostulated with the
aged man to change his mind. These
interviews recently led on to violent
quarrels.
Mr.. Sterry, ST., had been working at
his desk all the forenoon. 1t was
nearly noon when his son reached the
Office. As the younger man passed
through the warehouse on his way to
the ofices on the second floor of the
building he met his brother, James w.
sterry, and addressing him cheerily,
asked him how things were going.
Told that everything was all right,
he continued on his way upstairs. 1t
was only a moment later when the
shots rang through the building. and
when James Sterry and several en-
ployes rushed up to the office they
found the old man still sitting in his
chair at the desk, and George, Jr.,
lying on the floor by his side. Both
were dead. There was bullet hole in
each mans temple, and revolver was
lying on the floor.
