 Delegate H. M. Jacoway, of Yell, moved an adjournment until 2::30 D. m. which was voted down.
 A motion for the nomination of permanent officers of the conven- ton carried by an overwhelmi ,g vote and Judge J. E. Martineau was recognized.

 MT. Robinson declared the con- vention to be in order, and that the next order of business would be to elect a permanent secretary. Instantly cries of speech" were heard all over the house, and he caused a ripple of laughter by saying, "I knew you would do that"
 Then he launched forth in an eloquent address, in which he de- clared that no one man or clique could control the democratic par ty. When he said that he want ed to see honest George Dona- ghey at the head of the list there was a tumult of applause.

REPUBLICANS TO ELECT 4 DEMOCRAT.

Portland, Ore. June 2. Indi- cations today point to the elec- tion of solid Republican Legis- lature, which will at the same time be morally bound to elect a Democratic senator to the Unit ed States Senate. This unusual situation is reasonably certain to be the result of yesterdays state election. A majority, if not all candidates for the Legislature pledged themselves to send to the United States Senate the choice of the people as expressed by the popular vote for senator.
 Although figures so far receiv- ed are too meagre to base reliable returns upon, all indications point to Governor Geo. E. Cham berlain. the Democratic candidate for United States senator as be- ing the popular choice. Ellis, Republican. has been le-elected to Congress from the Second Congressional district over J. A. Jeffery, Democrat, and w. c. Hawley has carried the first dis trict.
 Prohibition, it is believed has carried in nearly every county in which it was an issue.
 The Iron Mountain will put on sale tickets to the Birmingham Confederate reunion, June 6 to 8, inclusive, at a rate of $l1.55 for the round trip from Prescott, linn ited for return to leave Birming- ham June 20. See local agent for any other information

BRIEF POPULARITY FOR ROSES
Favorites Of other Days That Are Now
Seldom Seen.

What becomes Of the former favor
ties of the rose tribe? Each has had
its day and has reigned right royalty
in its particular period, says the New
York Press. All old New Workers
must have soft spots in their hearts
for the jacqueminot. For many years
1t was the most popular blossom
among rich and poor. A quarter of a
century ago the street vendors sold
hardly anything except the gorgeous
red Jack" roses and the most fash
ionable florist had to be extremely
cautious In trying to push another va
riety ahead of 1t. Then came the
American beauty. which had long
sway. Bride roses followed in the af-
fections Of the people, more on ac-
count Of their association than be-
cause of superior beauty. Long before
the brides and American beauties and
Jacks" there flourished the Marechal
Mel, always the subject of contro-
versy as to whether it was a tea rose
or noisette.
OF more beautiful yellow than the
flower named for the famous marshal
of France was the cloth of gold rose.
AS its name implied, it was rich
golden color. Fully as handsome as
the general jacqueminot, the original
name of the lack" was the baronne
provost Another gorgeous rose was
the giant Of battles. Among the
climbers were the queen of the prai-
RTE, the Baltimore belle and the ayr
shire. A flower loved for its perpetual
blossoming was the souvenir de NAL
maison, finest of the Bourbon roses.
The Bengal was another perpetual and
an attractive bloom. Even the gil
gantic cabbage rose, though 1t be-
came the fashion to laugh at 1t, had its
share Of popularity for awhile. Where
are the roses of yesteryear?

SPOILED THEIR LITTLE GAME
Trickster's Slip That Put an End tc
Negotiations.

Mayor Speer of Denver was talking
the other day about pair of political
tricksters.
They gave themselves away" he
said. Don't tricksters always give
themselves away? II reminds me OF
the two men who wanted to sell their
corpses for dissection. These two
men, miserably clad, called on the
dean Of a medical college in New
York.
1--WE are both on the verge OF starv
alton, SIR the spokesman said. we
are well on in years, and It is clear
that we haven't much longer to live
Would you care to purchase our
bodies for your dissecting-room?'
The dean hesitated
1T Is an odd proposition he NUT
tered.
But IL is occasionally DONE said
the spokesman in an eager voice.
Well, said the dean, we might
arrange 1t. What price do you ask?'
Over In Philadelphia said the
spokesman, they gave us $40"

OPEN THEIR DOORS TO WOMEN
German Universities Now Admit Stu
dents of the Fair Sex.

The universities in Saxony and In
the southern half of the empire-Ba-
varia, Baden and Wurtemburg-have
all opened their doors to female stu
dents, and granted them all academic
rights, matriculation. graduation, etc
Others admit them only as visitors to
lectures, but refuse TO them all other
privileges. The University of Berlin
has adopted compromise, refusing
matriculation to women, but allowing
them to attend courses of study as Wis
ltors, and also, with the approval of
their instructors, to present them
selves as candidates for the examina-
tons leading to the doctors degree.
During the last winter the 81 Ger
man universities enrolled 800 matricu
lated women, and 1854 female Wis
itors. There was an increase over the
preceding winter of 80 matriculates
and OF 500 visitors. The matriculates
were divided among the eight universe
ties, where they are allowed entrance.
as follows: Munich, 1875; Heidelberg,
65; Freilburg, So; Leipzig, sc; Jena,
20; Tubingen, 81 Wurzburg, y. and

ELECTRICAL POWER FROM PEAT
Ireland's Boys Likely to Prove Source
Of Vast Wealth.

From peat to electrical power is the
story Of new. enterprise in Ireland.
The scheme is TO erect a central sta
ton upon the Grand canal, about "a
miles from Dublin, to produce blast fur
mace gas from the peat which will drive
huge gas engines, these in turn pro-
polling electric generators of sufficient
capacity to furnish electrical energy
over Kings county and Kildare. The
process to be exploited is that of a
German inventor, whose large factory
near Munich has been, operating sue
cessfully for about two years. Peat
containing as much as so per cent
moisture can be used satisfactorily,
the moisture becoming an essential
ingredient CT the water gas and pre-
venting too rapid combustion An
elaborate plant is to be installed for
by-products, such as sulphate OF am
monia, tars, and tar oils, etc, which
In themselves are of appreciable
commercial value. In the German fac
tory the process is of s. dual nature.
Peat from which rs per cent. of the
moisture can be evaporated is con-
verted into peat coke, which is used
as fuel in the German navy and
many industrial concerns, while the
raw material. which retains half its
moisture, is for producing the gas
from which the by-products are ex-
tracted.

The appearance of little dogs as OBJ.
jects OF luxury goes back to the most
ancient times. Documents are not
wanting to show that Greek and Ro.
man women had pet dogs which they
idolized. Even men, particularly
among foreigners, were not ashamed
to walk the streets of Rome with pet
dogs under their arms. Plutarch re-
lates that julius Caesar, seeing one
day in Rome some strangers thus load
ed with their dogs, asked them iron
ically whether the women of their
country did not bear children. Tertia.
the daughter of Lucius Aurelius
Paulus, was so fond of her dog that I'm
the moment of bidding farewell to her
father. who was about to leave his
country and Instantly to wage war
against Perseus. king of Macedonia.
she frankly admitted that the sadness
imprinted on her face was due to the
death Of her pet dog Persia.

The hinges are simply pieces of tin,
and soon break, but buy a pair of
small steel hinges and screws for ten
cents and white china knob and
screw for five cents and add these
to your cracker box. Then instruct
the maid to empty all dust pan gath
erings into the box, instead of the coal
bod. Nothing should go into the coal
scuttle or hod but coal and nut shells.
One or two ten-cent boxes of paint

Nourishing Drink.-So many now
take for luncheon a nourishing drink
at .soda fountain and some substi-
tute it for a breakfast Thus, an egg
shaker at home has often proved a
most sensible investment. This Gun
be purchased at a druggist supply
house or procured by order of any or
binary druggist Buy a deep, faring
tumbler along with the egg shaker.
The shaker costs $3.50 and is of
white metal, silver lined and triple
nickel plate on outside with an air
heaping teaspoonful of matted milk, a
dash of either sugar or salt, then FIJI
the glass three-quarters full of rich
milk and you have a most excellent
substitute for a breakfast.
A Novel Idea.-Where insertions OF
either lace or embroidery are used for
trimming, place a fiat steel or case
knife between the insertion and ma
terial. Run the scissors along the
steel and you will find it will be much
easier to cut the material and it will
prevent all possibility OF cutting the
insertion.
Making Beds.-A hospital-made bed
is a constant source of satisfaction
and comfort. The bottom sheet should
be put on and tucked in separate and
distinct from any other covering. and
should be drawn as tight as a drum
head, without a wrinkle. All tuck-ins
must extend under the mattress as far
as possible, thus, If the sheet be
wide, the weight of the occupant will
hold 1t tight.
Towels.-When there is any danger
of towels being hung or thrown over
nai's or anything metal where rust
may stain, sew on about three inches
of narrow white tape in the middle
and on the edge of the hem at each
end. Fasten the tape securely only
at each end by turning in the edge
and hemming, being sure to fasten the
end of the thread. In this way the
tape lies fiat lengthwise of the hem,
out Of sight from the right side Of
the towel and never in the way whe
ironing, yet when needed the edge OF
the towel In the exact middle nat
urally gives and the tape is ever ready
to slip over a nail or hook. All wash
cloths should be treated the same way

IRELANDs NEED OF FORESTS
Like United States, She is Late in
Waking Up to Her Sins.

Ireland has awakened to the nation.
al value OF her forests, but so late that
radical measures will now be neces-
sary to make up for past neglect. A
commission appointed by the crown
to investigate the condition Of Ire
lands forests and to suggest measures
for lettering it has just made public
its report.
The commission outlines and vigor.
ougy urges the adoption of a large
scheme for the state to plant about
10000 acres with forest trees. This.
with the 100000 acres of existing for.
est, would give Ireland 100000 acres
or forest land, an essential for the
agricultural and Industrial require
ments of the country.
About 10000 acres of this would be
purchased by the state IN mountain
Gus and rough regions and managed
as state forest, says Harper's Weekly,
while 100000 acres, chiefly in small
blocks, would be planted by the state
but managed by private owners or by
county councils.
The fact that under the land pur-
chase acts much woodland formerly
held In large blocks is being sold in
small parcels and numbered and that
there is now opportunity for the gov.
eminent to acquire woods and land
suitable for forests make it specially
urgent for the state to take immediate
action.
To show that such a scheme Of land
acquisition and planting is not imprac-
ticable the commission cites the case
of Denmark. an agricultural country
half the size of Ireland, which since
1881 has increased her forests by 49,
900 acres.
