nominations and race. grambling bills. In

plish precisely the same project that the
~old guard Of the Senate attempted in
the Kelsey matter last year. On all
sides this Is recognized as insuring an
other legislative battle With these on.

Grain as ! Weight.

The name grain as a weight origi-
mated in curious way. The old Eng
lish pound was equivalent to '.the
weight OF 1850 grains OF wheat, taken
from the middle Of the ear This
gives $50 TO each of the sixteen ounces
of which the pound was composed.
Although the standard is now entirely
different. the fact that there are still
$50 grains to the ounce troy and the
ounce apothecary's weight carries rs
back to the time Of the conquest and
shows Us how the nfme grain origi-
mated.

HUGHES ATTACKS GAMBLING.
Refuses to Allow Use of Armory il
Lotteries Are Part Of Fair.

Albany, N. u, Feb 5.--Governor

bling led to an amusing incident yes
terday Citizens Of Albany have been
organizing fair on behalf Of local
charity to be held 10 a state arnlory. A
committee was sent tes invite the goy
eEnor to attend, but the governor having
learned that various lotteries and raffles
were part Of the program informed
the committee they must abandon this
or he would issue an order preventing
the use Of the armory. The governor
is reported TO have given the committee
a stiff rebuke and the rafiies and tot

Il shall endeavor to speak to You

ever remembered as the great and dis
tinguislcd characteristic OF McKin-

Those Of US who look back to No

tons surrounding that controversy
make one of the most remarkable VIC
tories for popular government that was
ever achieved. While this was a most
important point in the history Of the
country, it was rather an electoral vic
tory than one of the administration Of
Mckinley. That which really distin-
guiShed the administration Of Mckin-
ley is the war with Spain and the eS-
pansion which followed it." Taking up
