; The scene in the amphitheatre at the
moment of the nomination was one
of stirring animation. From pit to
dome the vast building was packed
with ten thousand people, and after
hours of waiting there was chaos
of constructions. State after state,
which had first recorded its vote for
Johnson or Gray, fell into line with
the overmastering Bryan column, and
the nomination was made unanimous
and by acclamation.
The vote had been taken in breath
less interest, as state after state
swelled the Bryan strength. When
New York was reached in the call OF
states, the announcement by Murphy
of "Seventy-eight votes for Bryan
brought out an outburst of enthusiasm
and approval which for a time COM
PEELED the suspension of the roll call.
Further delay was caused by the de-

The platform adopted by the late
Convention shows what the Republi-
can party in truth represents. In
framing the platform, every genuine
reform which the President has ad-
vocated was scorned and repudiated.
The Wisconsin delegation asked that
one or two reform planks be placed
in the platform, and for its pains was
denounced as Democratic. The Con

fused to approve those policies which
the President for four years has been
urging upon his party. The mask of
hypocricy has been torn from the face

Perhaps no businss in tn city OF
Minot has shown a steadier gain than
that of Gordon Bros. the First street
pawn brokers and dealers in new and
second hand goods. Two or three
wears ago, this firm started business
on a very small scale, in a very
small room, and with very small
capital. At first, the business was
confined to the cleaning and press
ing of clothing, and the repairing OF
shoes. AS their little pile OF savings
began to accumulate, they devised the
scheme of loaning money on personal
property and soon had good sized
pawn shop in operation. Always do
ing business on, the square, they soon
had the confidence of the public, and
their business grew to such an extent
that they had to add more room.
Then they began buying second hand
clothing and second hand goods OF
all kinds, and selling them again.
Recently they embarked in another
line, that Of clothing and furnishings
for the farmer and the working man.
Another addition was built for them,
making their room more than twice
the size.and this has just been filed
with ntw stock of goods, samples
misfits and jobs, good new stuff, but
bought of the. eastern manufacturer
for a song, and as one Of the prop
rietors stated, 'They will be sold for

Bros. are developing into good ad-
vertisers, as their business grows,

Coronets.


1t lisa mistake to suppose that dukes,
marquises and other noble Britons
sleep in their coronets. In fact they
never wear them at all except at the
coronation of the sovereign, when they
put on their coronets ut the precise mo-
ment when the primate of England
places the crown upon the anointeu
brow of the king or queen. And when
peer or peeress dies the coronet is
again used at tile funeral, being placed
in the coffin or borne on purple cush-
ion behind the hearse by one Of the
attendants. That is the extent to
which the coronet is used according to
the official rules and regulations, But
sometimes they are made to serve 9TH
er purposes than those for which they
were intended. They are made of sill.
yer gilt. edged with ermine and lined
inside with purple velvet cap topped

ton in London had been cut in half
and arranged to serve as brackets for
candlesticks.

DaffodiI Poisoning.

A large number of plants which are
usually looked upon as harmless pos
sess poisonous properties, says the
Dundee Advertiser. Those who are
employed in picking daffodils and mar
cssus frequently suffer severely from
n Troublesome skin affection known as
"daffodll poisoning" The most trying
feature of this ailment is the small
gatherings which form under the fin
ger nails. 1t is said that minute crys-
tails of lime exist in large numbers in
the juice of the stems Of the pretty
blooms and that these are responsible
for the poisoning. Regular daffodil
pickers are accustomed to rub their
hands with oil and work tallow-in I'M
derneath their finger nails before be-
ginning their work The bulbs of the
white Roman hyacinth have similar
unpleasant properties.
