gain has been remarkable, amounting to s3,9O2, 1906, or 227.S per cent. The principal increase in the industry mas occurred in the southern states. Ihe decrease in New Jersey and Pennsyi- yania has been due to the growing remoteness of natural raw material. Print Works Manufacturing Dye.
 stuffs.
 Dyestuffs to the value of $5,2l7 .o23 were manufactured in establishments in which they formed the primary products. This is a decrease or S359. .941, or GA per cent, from the value reported at the census Of l9oO. Since the dyaing and printing indus tries have prospered and should there- fore consume more rather than less dye-stuffs, it is evident that the dye and print works have manufactured large part of the dyestuffs which they have consumed in the manu- facture of their finished products in place of purchasing them from other manufacturers as formerly.
 Capital in Manufacture or Aiums Doubles.
 The alum industry was in four ishing condition at the census of l9Oo. The value of the alums manufactured increased from S2,SS2,421 in 1900 to S5. .O5S, ,395 in 1905. During this period the capital more than doubled. The states leading in the number of estab- lishments engaged in this industry in 1905 are Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Illinois

TRENTON CONVENTION
Democrats of New Jersey Meet
 In the Capital.
CONTEST OVER DELEGATES.
Former Senator Smith, State Leader, Favors Uninstructed Delegation, While Hudson County Men, Headed by Bry- an Supporters, Demand Recognition.

Trenton, N. J., April 2S.-Democrats from all parts of New Jersey. assem- bled here for attendance at the Demo cratic state convention, which was call ed to order in the State Street theater by State Chairman Robert s. Huds- peth A temporary organization was effected George A. Yiehmann, former ed temporary chairman. He will also preside over the convention as perma- nent chairman. After his selection the convention took a recess.
 In his address MT. Viehmann touch ed on national and state issues. He declared that the full dinner pair was now full of wind and asserted that the responsibility lay on the Re publican party, blaming the present administration for the hard times. He also characterized the present state government as one of ''unbusineSSlike administration of affairs and wasteful extravaganza"
 The business sessions of the conven- tion will be lively. The main conten- tion will be over the question of Lead CT Robert Davis of Hudson county go- ing to Denver as delegate at large. MT. Davis has announced himself as a candidate for this honor and has also announced himself Bryan man. For mer United States Senator James Smith, Jr, who seems to be in control of the situation in the state, has avow- cd his opposition to Davis being made a delegate at large. Smith is an anti Bryan man and favors sending an un- instructed delegation.
 Hudson Men Demand Delegate.
 The Hudson people on account Of their large Democratic vote will de. mand one of the delegates at large and will probably refuse the suggestion of Senator Smith to send some other Hud- son man than Davis. This will prob. ably lead to a bitter discussion in the convention
 Senator Smith was clearly in control, and his slate for delegates at large in. cluded Mir. Smith, former Mayor Frank $. Katzenbach, Jr., of Trenton and State Senator John Hinchliffe of Pas. saic The fourth place was left va. cant with the hope of filling it by the selection of some Hudson man other than Davis. Mayor Otto Wittpenn ot Jersey City was suggested for the fourth place, but Mayor Wittpenn did not want to get involved in any fight with Davis and the Bryan men of Hudson county and would not consent to the use of his name. Afterward there was talk of giving the fourth place to State Chairman Hudspeth, also of Hudson county. Judge Hudspeth was not here at the time, but it is un. derstood that he is not willing to take the place at the expense of Davis turning down.
 South Jersey Is to be taken care oi in the convention by the naming of for mer Judge Howard Carow of Camden as member of the national committed to succeed William B. Gourley, re signed.
 It seems certain the delegates vii go to Denver uninstructed. The pre- vailing sentiment of the delegates seems to be for Judge Gray of Della ware, with Governor Johnson of Min nesota as second choice.

In India the women still go down to the river banks and wash clothes by rub ping them over stones.
 They are unprogressive, we say. But they are no farther behind the times than the American women who still boil clothes and hard-rub them on washboard. The women of India don't weaken their clothes by boiling, at least.
 .The truly modern way of washing is the Fels-Naptha way. No boiling to weaken the fibre; no hard-rubbing to wear and tear. Work saved, time saved, fuel saved; clothes cleaner.
