Detroit Democrats are taking the

imous In saying that the ticket II o

Few will predict that 1t will win In

time and l expected Bryan to be
nominated. have not had time to
read the platform"
Bryan will run on hts reputation
not on his platform, and he will win, .
says Richard I. Lawson. HE has q
wonderful acquaintance among the
American people and they understand
and admire him. He has gone among
them and they know his views. That
will make him stronger than any plat
form could"

he would not have been nominated.
Bryan will make a stronger campaign

Mayor Thompson modestly. II have

CALLED BY DYING WOMAN
Daughter Makes Flying Trip and
Saves Four Lives.


Hamilton, Ont, March 1.-THE fly
ing trip of a young woman from To-
ronto to Hamilton saved the lives of
her mother, two sisters and a cousin.
The young girl, who lives in To
ronto with a married sister, while the
remainder of the family live in Ham
ilton, was awakened in the morning
by a telephone bell.
Hamilton wants you in a hurry"
was the message from central and in
a moment she heard her mothers
voice, weak and almost i~narticulate.
ooh! Esther, come to us quickly.
We're all dying" said the mother.
"Annie is unconscious and both Bella
and jeanne are too sick to call the
neighbors. Come as quick as you car.
I can't stand at the phone longer"
The girl dressed hurriedly and, with
her sisters help, h%arnessed a horse
and drove to the railroad station, ar
irving just in time to catch a train.
An hour and a half from the time she
received the message she reached her
home in Hamilton and found the
whole family unconscious from coal
gas. She summoned physicians and
the four were revived.
The mother declares her whole &C.
ton was carried out as though she
was in a dream. She had no thought
of calling any person in Hamilton.

Venezuela has again declined to
arbitrate the questions at controversy
which have been pending for some
time between the Castro administra-
ton and the American government.
This time the refusal is made specific
with respect to each of the questions

refusal to arbitrate in that the refusal
then was made as to all questions en-
bloc.
Commander William 8. Sims, naval
aide to the president, told the senate

In the second cut is shown some OF

cement used was five sacks.
The fourth lot was made of a very

the cement by lime was made for the
double purpose Of reducing the cost
and obtaining a denser and more i'm.

to mix thoroughly with the sand, and
the bell ends were made of a mixture

When to Spray.

1t is generally considered unsafe to
spray for the San Jose scale while the
leaves are on the trees, the materials
used are so strong, though in certain
cases trees have been sprayed when in
full leaf in June with the lime sui
phur wash without the slightest injury
resulting. Treatment in summer is not
advisable, however, and the best and
safest time to apply the wash is from
the time the leaves have fallen till the
buds begin to open in spring. Where
the trees are badly infested two treat
ments. one late in the fall and the
other early the next spring. are most
desirable, but where only n is need
ed or possible for any reason the re-
suits obtained in Massachusetts, point
to the spring as the time when the
best results are to be obtained.-H. T..

H QUADRANT.
How tho Idea Of the Device Came to
Thomas Godfrey.

Concerning Thomas Godfrey, a IA,
nous American mathematician. there
is an interesting account in he Lit,
erary History Of Philadelphia"
Thomas Godfrey was Il glaZier.. He
seemed to be one Of the most singular
phenomena that ever appeared In the
learned world.
One day while at work at his trade
q young girl came to a pump and filled
q pail with water. which was left upon
the sidewalk. The suns rays were re-
fected from Godfrey's glass to the pail
of water and then to his eye, thus COM
plotting q triangle. This is said to have
suggested to the glaZier's mind the idea
which in 1870 became the basis for the
double rejecting sea quadrant.
Prior to this time English mariners
had been using Davis bow to ascer-
tain their latitude at sea, but 1t could
not be adjusted in a storm. Godfrey
gave the subject careful study. taught
himself Latin in order to read New
toms ''Principia" and endeavored 10
have the value Of his invention recog-
nized in England. While thus engaged
he determined to have the device tested
on a ship bound for the West Indies.
In jamaica the quadrant was exhibit
ed, or presented. to an English sea
captain. Thus the important discovery
came into the possession of Hadley, a
mathematical instrument maker In
London, whose name it usually bears
in spite of the long eXertions of inf1u-
entail Americans Of the eighteenth
century to have Godfrey's claims es-
tablished and hOnOred.

ALmsHousE IS BURNED.
Two Patients Die Of Fright After
Their Escape.

Two Patients Die of Fright After
Their Escape.
San Francisco, March 11.-One of
the buildings of the city and county
almshouse was burned. In it when
the fire broke out were al persons,
mostly patients recently removed from
the city and county hospital. The
almshouse is located near the Lake
Honda reservoir of the Spring Valley
Water company.
Three patients lost their lives. Two
of these were old men, who died from
fright. Edward Korn, who had just
undergone an operation, died soon
after being taken from the burning
building.
It was only by the most strenuous
work that the aged people were saved.
The nurses and attendants formed
brigades and carried most of the old
people from the building, as many of
them, on account of their extreme age
and their minds being dulled, refused
20 leave their rooms.
