A Persian .Liotsl.

Some years ago an effort was made to establish a European hotel at the junction of the two most traveIed roads of Persia. Each room of this ho- tel contained some articles which I ai least have never found in any hotel in either Europe or America Among them were nighfcap. a hairbrlsh and a toothbrush. Perhaps it was on account of this extravagance that the scheme failed. An American mission ary as he was leaving this hotel one morning. was asked by servant what he had done with the hotel hairbrush This digni6ed man in clerical attire with his wife and children was pre-. vented from leaving the hotel until it was ascertained that he had spoken the truth when he said That he threw the brush under the bed to scare away a cat-M Mrs. Colqu hoUp in Los Angeles Times

 There had been some doubt whether Goodwin could hold the majority of over 50 predicted for him..

The pre-convention estimates of the Strength Of Goodwin and Lake were, ] it appears. way eff" For Goodwin. a majority of over 50 was claimed posi- lively. if hA. could hold it. for Lake, estimates up to as high as 100 major aty appeared. Not one of them was within gunahot' of the result of the first ballot as unofficiaIy reported - Ehat is. 10 majority for Goodwin
 But the first ballot was not accepted The ballot box contained too many votes Ballot-box stuffing in Re publican convention. and not in Penn sylvania. where it is said to be com mon practice, but in Connecticut whose record has been, until now. devoid of such stains.
 Then came pandemoniun-aImo a T1ot. something also hitherto unknown in staid Connecticut. Opprobrfous epithets. addressed to Congressman HiH who presided, elections from the platform, summary squelching of would-be debaters, among them Stiles Judson etc., ete-who ever before heard of the like in a Connecticut con xention?
 EDoes any sensible man believe that all this sprung from a contest over the nornination for Governor? Had theTe been naught else at stake. the contest would have been settled by a compromise before a ballot was taken. as was predicted and hoped for by many Republicans, and as has hereto fore been the custom of the party in order to show at least an outward seeming of unanimity.
 There was more at stake. Goodwin represented Mclean for U- s. Sena- tor. and Lake represented Rulkeley, with also some as yet unascertained connecMon with the public utilities question. It was generally under stood that the SenatorshfD was in volved, and it was suspected that the public utilities question was also some how mixed up in the contest. There was also current belief that the rail- rpad company favored~Goodwin and Mclean, which brought strong fac- tor into the problem. Rumor states that with Bu1kefey backing Lake, and the railroad fulfilling the same func- ton for Goodwin and Mclean. there was no lack of ready cash upon either side.
