f. 1 POPDLISTS WILL FLOCK BY THEMSELVES. Want No Free Silver Democratic Company. FIFTH DISTRICT CONVENTION Elect Delegates To the State a ad National Gathering. SARCASTIC RESOLUTIONS.

Twenty-seven men met In Beck's Hall. First and Jefferson last night, as the Fifth district convention of the Populist party. Though the hall wai much too large It was full of free-silver sentiment. On delegate to the National Populist Convention and nine delegates, and as-s many alternates, to the State Populist Convention were elected, and a platform condemning everything not populism was adopted. The Populists claimed that both parties were Infringing on their only and original patent-right.

And yet they were not mad these Populists. They Imply did not want either the Democratic or the Republican party to mate with them. The convention was called to order at JO o'clock by Mr. Frajik Rectenwald. He asked that all moe and sit close about him.

He then said that the convention had been called for the purpose of selecting one delegate to the National Popalist Convention and nine delegates to the State Convention. He suggested that a temporary chairman be appointed at once. Charles Brown and Mr. Rectenwald were nominated, and Mr. Brown was made temporary chairman by a vote of I to Joe Parker was made temporary secretary.

Chairman Brows appointed Messrs. Dave O'Con-nelL Alexander Irs burg. Albert S. Johnson, Joe Parker and D. L.

Graves a Committee on Resolutions, and Messrs. Jamea W. Hairier. Francis Reetenwald and John Keegan the Committee on Permanent Organisation. As soon aa the committees had retired Chairman Brown called for speeches.

Mr. W. M. Bruce, a little white-haired, tobacco man, arose and said: "Don't know that I can give you much edification, but, I wu just going to say that I would speak a bit. We see all our financial institutions going to waste; we see our labor going to nothing; we see our homes going to waste; I see In a paper yesterday that the Sheriff would sell 130 farm for rent.

We see that a majority of our dt liens are homeless to-day. while on the other hand we see ft few millionaire do-nothings enjoying the wealth. It makes one feel ashamed to see how matters are drifting. The people don't seem to know what's go- ig on. Men have been carried away by partisanship, never thinking of how the politicians legislate for their own benefit It has come to the point that we must win or be slaves.

I read that Mr. Henry Clews, of Wall street. Is not insensible to this crisis. He says the American people) seem about to commit aa act of deliberate suicide. He says that silverttes may be able to block sound money in the next Congress.

He says that free coinage would ruin Wall street, and that Wall street would be able to overthrow the movement which would ruin It. He proposes to break up Congress If a It to 1 silver platform Is adopted and Its supporters elected. There Is no comparison between the treason of Venedlct Arnold and the treason of this black-hearted champion of Wall street, the supporter of sound money. They call our silver dollar a flftv-cent dollar. I'd like some one to show me a fifty-cent dollar.

There never was one and never will be. By the Constitution of the United States a dollar must be 100 cents. and It la The Constitution, which is the second In degree to our Bible, says that silver and gold shall be our stand- ard money. All the sllverites want la for every man to have an even show tat earn his bread and pay his debts, and for the Government to give us an od portunlty to get the money to pay those jes. sound money has had more to do with bringing about the hard times than all the other things that have happened, say let all the currency be based on the credit of you and Ad all the country.

The people who nave got tne gold nave got it cornered, and you'll never see a cent of It. When we wake up to the situation of how we've been robbed they come out and say you shan't do and say they'll break up our Government. Let's sro through the storm and everything for iioerxy. it win never pertsn. Tou can't blot It out.

We will wake up and they will know that a lion haa waked up front a long sleep." Then the Committee on Permanent Or- ranlaatlon returned. It offered the nominations of David O'Connell for permanent chairman and A Johnson for permanent secretary, and also suggested that (he Congressional Committee be reorganised In order that It be made up of one committeeman from each senatorial district and one from earn legislative district. The report of the committee was adopted. The Commit. tee on Resolutions was not ready to report, and Mr.

Rectenwald was called on for a speech. He said that the convention had met to do a business that some day would cut a figure In this country. Two years ago. he said. "I was selected by this body to meet the noml- nees for the other side In debate.

We tried to meet the two old parties on the stump and they refused, making all sorts of excuses. They dare not meet us on the stump. They know their arguments would be knocked upside down. I feel sorry for this country if the peo- pie won't come and hear us. Joe Black's burn and Crisp, of Oenrgla.

are ready at a moment's notice to take the stump for a gold-Dug candidate. There Is only one way to advocate a principle you've got to oppose all who are against It. The free-sllverism claimed by the Democratic party Is no "good. Tou can't look to those men who claim to be free Jlverites." Mr. A.

8. Johnson was called on for a speech. He said that the plan of the old parties was so flimsy that any- body could see through It. He said that the Populist party should treat the old parties with silence and contempt when they talked about uniting. "The only way we'll take them In." said he.

"is that they will call themselves Populists and 1 pot Democrats or Republicans. We don't want nv don't want to be contaminated. They pretend to be free- s'tver leaders. One year ago they. were c- not fighting for free-silver.

Joe Black-barn la 'cuckoo. He had no sounj-- money enemies then. We can't trust them. The People's party declared for silver as soon as It was thought of. I don't believe any true Populist, win sup-' rwtrt any such Hardin or Blaek-'-' or affiliate- with any such men." Mr re nan said some unkind things of tie newspapers, which, he said, had taught him to hate 'robber barons.

He quoted the famous expression of Mr. William H. Vanderbilt regarding the people, and credited the late Mr. Jar Gould with having said it. The Committee on Resolutions reported and the permanent officers took their seata This committee reported the following resolutions, which were adopted: Resolved.

That we. the People' Prtr the fifth district of Kentucky, in convention asemhted. do hereby renew our demand tor the free and unlimited colnaire of stiver at the present 1-k1 "tU to 1 with gold, as we claimed it four ago, and have reiterated It every' year since the birth of the People's party, and at times when the latter day apostles ol this measure were voting for Cleveland. Sherman. Carlisle A and heaping ridicule and abuse upon our heads.

nue we recognise the importance' of free-stiver legislation, we uo not believe that rree silver will be a cure for all existing evils, the power to Issue the cuni-w na country must be taken from corPJ-tlons and restored to the peopi and tun lesal tender, government curreay be issued in such as to ptoylde a sufficient guaranty for the transaction or the business of this country. on casn basis, and should be issued to the pek'P'e through public banks of loan and dlscooJit and through payments in discharge of IW obligations for publio impruvciscnli, the Idle labor of the conn try may be profitably employed. We believe that the power of the Government, or. In other words, of the people, should be expanded as in the case of the postal service and aa the good sense of an intelligent people and the teachtnKs of experience shall Justi fy, to the end that oppression ana iiuuiiv and poverty shall eventually cease in the land. We aflirm that governments derive their Just powers from the consent of the governed, and In order that the people of this country may be self-governing we favor the initiative and referendum system of direct legislation by which the people may compel the submission of any act of leglxlatlon to a direct vote of the people for approval or rejection we also favor the Imperative mandate and proportional representation.

We denounce a system of taxation that levies a tribute upon the necessities of labor, and exempta the wealth of the country from contributing to the support of the Government. Therefore, We demand a progrestve tax on incomes and that all future tartfT legislation shall be so constructed as not to build up one class of our cltisens at the expense of another. This republic can only endure aa a free government while built on the love of the whole people for each other and the nation, that it caa not be pinned together by bayonets. Therefore. We denounce the use of armed forces in civil affairs, declaring an unalterable opposition to a government of gold and gatling guns.

The following supplementary resolution was also submitted and It was adopted by a unanimous vote: Resolved. That we view with much amusement the desperate efforts of the two old parties to tay the rising tide of popular Indignation aroused by their recreant actions in the past by appropriating the platform and declarations of the People's party; namely, the free and unlimited coinage of silver; the abolition of banks of Issue ami a graduated Income tax; and we can but wonder where these would-be saviors of the people have been doing the past years of misrule and oppression, that they have not before raised their voices In behalf of suffering humanity.

N. T. June 11 Ex-Judge Isaac H. Maynard, former Judge of the Court of Appeals and ex-Attorney General, died suddenly in his room at the Kenmore this afternoon from heart trouble. He was alone in his room and was sitting In a chair at the time of his death.

He had just finished his luncheon and was apparently In the best of health. Judge Maynard was appointed to the Court of Appeals January 1, 1812, from the Attorney General's office. As the Democratic nominee for Judge of the Court of Appeal two years ago he was the object of bitter opposition on account of his ruling in a contested election case In the early part of his Judicial career, and which was alleged to have' been unfair. He was defeated at the polls. AN INGENIOUS MEASUREMENT.

A Simple Way of Finding the Height of a Tree Or a Chimney. (Philadelphia Times.) It is often necessary, not for amusement, but for practical purposes, to find the height of a factory chimney, or smoke-stack, and it may not be convenient to get access to the architect's plana It may happen that the engineer desires to make alterations for securing greater or less draught, and the dimensions of the chimney form a necessary factor In his calculations. A very simple, but perfectly satisfactory, way of determining the height Is the same as that used by the wood-cut- ters of New England in finding the height of a tree. The engineer cuts a stick that, when placed upright, will reach exactly to the center of hia eyes, and going outdoors he lies down on the ground at such a distance from the base of the chimney that the top of the tick, when the latter Is placed vertically against the soles of his feet, will be in line with his eyes and the top of the chimney, in other words, he forms a right-angle triangle, of which his extended from his eyes to the soles of his feet. Is the base, the upright stick the altitude, and the distance his eyes to the top of the stick the hypothenuse.

There must be, therefore, a similar right-angle triangle formed of the distance from the eyra to the base of the chimney, from his eyes to- the. top of the chimney, and of the height of the ehimney itself. Aa the base and altitude of this triangle are euua.1. it follows that, the height of the chimney Is the same I as the distance from his eyes to 1U base. fUTTTl WTTT mtl TrtTT "T- A -V TTTOTTTT -Tl a IITk 7 rn I -C I IV Mfc Ml -C A.

i I AS OTHERS SEE US. i Bab Compares the Comforts of England and America Strawberry and Lovely Woman How the Briton Re 2 sards Onr Fruit An Englishman's First Clam Mademoiselle and Her Eyes. New York, June 11. There is no doubt that a big, red strawberry framed In Its green leaves, kissed by the sun's warmth, la food Qt for the gods, and more than that it Is food for lovely woman. A woman looks pretty eating strawberries.

The whiteness and shapeliness of her hand shows to perfection as she lifts each strawberry by Its stem to ber lips, and then proceeds to eat it In the dainty way that a well-bred woman always does, which, between you and me, Is something; after the fashion of a polite kitten. All the good things that we have, strawberries, asparagus, green corn are dainty to eat, and tend to make one healthful, which of course, beautiful The trouble Is that we don't appreciate our bless-' tngs. We see a wagon load of pineapples go by and think nothing more of It; In England, a pine, as they Insist on calling; it, costs a guinea; the first night It is put upon the table to do duty as a decoration, and then, on the second night, is carefully cut by the hostess, each guest getting a tiny little piece. So Is with melons. The English melon is a cross between a antelope and a watermelon, is dealt out as If it were gold, and Is particularly tasteless and dreadfully expensive.

Then there is ice. Tou and I. who are housekeepers, growl dreadfully about the ice men. but If we were In England and asked for some Ice at dinner, a piece the size of a small apple would be brought and that would be expected to answer for everybody at the table. I tell you.

we don't appreciate our mercies. About the only good thing in the fruit line that OF THE SITUATION. HIS PREDICAMENT. Tti Vrtw TtM nrt want In dnwn ter Ocean. England offers Is the gooseberry.

Here, we know It as a sour, hard berry, seldom served in its natural state and not over good when made into a pie or tart. Over there it Is pink of color and has an exquisite taste, a sweetness with a tinge tt sourness best describing it. I like to see an Kngllsh woman's face preferably an English housekeeper's face when she hears that all the fruits that cost so much money on the tight little Isle are within the reach of the very poorest people In the States: that peaches, such peaches as she only gets from a hot-house, can be bought for a few pennies by the working-man's wife, and that great, big, sweet. Juicy melons are. In season, almost given away.

It gives her an opportunity to say how extravagant we are. And truly, we are. A funny sight, and one that, in Nw Tork in summer, when the globe-trotter Is to the fore, is quite common, is an Englishman eating his first clam and a French woman her first green corn. The difference In nationalities stands out plainly. The Parisian ia determined to be pleased; the Englishman is determined to be displeased, and yet equally determined to taste "the little beast," for fear he might be thought a coward.

He first says the clam is too fishy; then he announces that it is neither aa bitter nor as salt as those miserable things that In England are called "natives." and which compare with, our oysters as stage pineapple does to a real one. But in time the- Englishman and the clam grow very friendly, and when he goes back home the Englishman takes with him a chafing dish, and he hopes to be able to teach the wife of his bosom how to prepare on it Just such dainties as he has had from the chafing dish here. Deluded man! He forgets that clams a la Schenck would be Impossible where clams do not exist; that lobsters a la Newburg will not please the English palate, and that terrapin, well to tell the truth, he never got quite accustomed to terrapin himself. Now-a-days he has a better opinion of American cooking than he used -to have. It Is curious how little the well-bred English people know about our country.

and it must be confessed that, after visiting, not the set that Is written about, not the set Into which American girls have taiarried. but the real English people who are shyly hospitable, well-mannered, well-read and Interesting, one's vanity gets a tumble. The truth Is discovered. It Is this: they are not Interested In us. What we do and what we say is a matter of no Importance to them.

and. sometimes. I don't blame them. They have got the finest ships In the world, they have got the finest army in the world, and they have got the best Government in the world, and why should they be Interested in a lot of half-civilized savages like ourselves? They need only read one of the newspapers if they desire to prove that we are aavaa-ea. An English woman who had been to India several times goes to Egypt every spring, who has traveled all over the continent, was surprised that I was so white, since Americans lived on noth ing but salt pork! She said sne was afraid to come to this country, because she understood lynching was common.

and he thought if she saw a man nung. aa she mleht do on the street at any time. It would upset her nerves. We think that we- are a great people, but we are not; that is. we are not in the eyes of the great mass of the r.ngusn people, while we are looked upon as semi-barbarians bv most of the French.

-Gracious goodness! I must stop or else somebody will conclude that I have se rious opinions, and these are not gooa things to have. They trouble you in tha night, and make you conscious of some thing that worries you wnat is i Heart or conscience, or what? Conscience is a troublesome thing, in warm weather particularly. I wonder if that is the reason that so many crimes are committed In warm weather? Then, too, I wonder why, when a man commits a crime and is sentenced to be hung, the Governor of the State doesn't insist upon his being absolutely secluded and allowed to see nobody? If that were done he might get rid of some of the sickly sentimentality that nowadays Is about all the awful brutes that ever deserved to be put to death by torture. That Is not a nice subject. Let us talk about the girls.

The type that is Interesting nowadays has undoubtedly resulted from the flower trimmed hats. She la the innocent girl. tul I'm r. LA T4fwwiw lrHlo. mt nj She talks about the little cotton frock she wears in the morning, and In the evening she is fair In white muslin, not the dowdy white muslin of the English girl, but the white muslin as It is made beautiful by a French dressmaker.

It has a wide skirt, a draped bodice, a lace-trimmed fichu, while about the small waist Is a narrow girdle of white ribbon. The sleeves are full and big. and on the dainty little head Is a straw hat heavy with the flowers of the field and the hothouse. The innocent girl looks from under the brim and wonders "how the gentlemen know so much." snd "is It really true that some of them drink whisky," and "can anybody have th heart to say that the pretty girls in the ballet are even a little tiny bit fast" and she stutters so when she says fast, almost as if she were saying something beginning with a great big then she "wonders where mamma Is," and is afraid that she has done something wrong, hopes that you will not misunderstand her, but, oh dear! she Is so frightened. The chances are ten to one that ycu have misunderstood her.

The Innocent get-up is a snare and a delusion. The tiny feet In their high-heeled slippers can dance vigorously until 4 o'clock In the morning; the lithe figure that is half revealed and half concealed In the white skirt can assume a bathing dress that la. to put It mildly, rather scant, while the small hands that seem almost afraid to peep out from under the long sleeves can hold with certainty the winning hand at poker, or deftly pile chips at a. roulette table. The eyes that look so frightened from under that broad-brimmed bat easily pick out a winning horse, and the sweet red lips that tremble so with the fear of saying something that will be misunderstood can give a very business-like order to a district messenger boy as to the placing of money on the favorite.

If very much danger lies In woman's eyes. It is most dangerous in these Innocent ones. The innocent girl would do well on ill street, and she can change her pose with the season or the fashion. All womankind is troubled nowadays because, the so-ealled semi-precious gems have gone up in price, and the emerald, the gem that brings good health and which makes a -white hand look whiter, costs double what It did last year. Advice from a smart girl is: "Look up ail the old brooches and bracelets, that were set with garnets, amethysts, emeralds, topazes, and have them yanked out and reset, reset In buckles.

In brooches, but choose the very. best, of course, for a ring." With the coming of the eerai-preclous gems Into faioa haa also come an effort nnn inn a EB i Uses Paine's Celery Compound in His Fam- It s--aa-a-ass liy, aiiu ouuiigij Ma J. Gen. Blrney, who Is now, at the ag of seventy-five, practicing- law and doing departmental work in Washington, In a letter to Wells Sc Richardson Company, says: "My wife has been taking the Paine's celery compound for some time past. and is so much pleased with It that she wishes me to express to you her high opinion of Its merits.

She thinks it Is toe best remedy she has ever tried." Gen. Blrney's hearty acknowledg ment of the great and lasting good that his family has received from Paine celery compound Is repeated, in substance, in countless testimonials, written in- the same grateful spirit and sent from every part of the country. Don't sit with folded, arms and do nothing toward getting rid of poor health. Drive out all Impurities from your blood; build up the vigor of the body with Paine's celery compound the one remedy that has kept all its prpmlses In the past. The tired nerves and brain the sort of nourishment that this great lnvlgorator is able to supply.

Now is the time when Paine's celery on the part of the Jewelers to make the opal fashionable. That an odsJ Is a beautiful gem. no body will deny; that 1 Is unlucky, everybody will affirm who has ever had one. I can swear to a year of trouble resulting from wearing an opalrpin. A girl I know, who sniffed at the idea of iU-luck and the confesses nowadays that she waa a fool.

Her betrothed gave her a magnificent opal framed In diamonds. It was put upon her finger with a loving wish, and this girl who was not superstitious afterward confessed that within an hour after she assumed it she became conscious of somebody near her, a somebody who was bad. She said It seemed to her as If a bat were near her. and as If that bat were a demon at heart. In reality, she had a constant feeling of depression.

She tried to get rid of It by saying she wasn't very well and waa nervous, but- she confessed tbst whenever she took the ring off. it seemed as if the supernatural demon that hovered about her disappeared, and she felt better. One month after he gave her the ring her sweetheart was drowned; within two months after the arrival of the opaj, misfortune came to her in the shape of a frightful scandal about her sister; she lost innumerable things that she prised, her fox terrier died, and an old aunt who had always promised to leave her money to her changed ber mind and also her will, and announced In It that as her niece did not seem to be cheerful she wouldn't burden her by adding to her income, and instead she willed it to her favorite preacher. This was the last stroke. That girl took her ring and took to the ods and buried It, and buried it where either man nor woman can ever And it, and so nobody will get her bad luck.

By the bye. It Is Just as well to remember that if you Hag before you put on pearls you will weep before you lake them off. There is wisdom In saying "Abracadabra" before you assume a topaz, and then a good fairy will be near you rather than a bad one. It Is all very well to laugh at things that you don't understand, and anyhow this question of luck Is a funny one. I have always maintained that the lucky man was the one who knew how to smile at the right time, and who knew how to hit at the right time, and when he smiled he made everybody glad, and when he hit he hit strstght out from the shoulder, and made a number of people sorry.

If they belonged to the animal world, would be treated as poisonous serpents, and who are In truth social vampires. What should you smile at?

LEAPED INTO THE WELL. Crazed By Grief Edward Well ert Tries To Destroy i Himself. REMAP.KABLE ESCAPE FROM DEATH. Driven Insane by grief, Edward Wels-ert, a German, living at Swan and Cain streets, leaped from his bed last evening, and running Into the back yard. Jumped into a deep well, escaping death only by remarkably good fortune.

Weisert Is about thirty-five years old. A short time age his wife and child died suddenly. This caused him great grief, and the constant worry gradu-lly unsettled his mind. Nearly a week ago he was arrested and confined In Jail on a charge of lunacy. Yesterday morning he was presented in the City Court and dismissed.

Though this action was taken in court. It was thought best to confine him -for a while. Early laat evening two policemen, Joe Dell and George Elbert, were sent to his bom after him, but found him asleep. Ills brother informed them that he had an order from Prosecuting Attorney Frank Parsons to allow him to stay ut home. Of course, after this, they made no effort to take him, aa his brother said he would attend to him.

Shortly after 9 o'clock George Weisert, thinking his brother was sleeping soundly, left the room for a short time. He was attracted by a slight noise, and, hastening back, found that his brother had disappeared. He quickly alarmed the family and made a close search of the premises. Nearing an disused well in the yard he discovered that the top was oft. The well Is very old' and for more than ten years the cover had not been moved.

A light was brought, and. though Its faint glimmer hardly penetrated the darkness, they saw Weisert standing In the water and clinging to the old pump twenty-five feet below. A messenger was immediately sent to the No. 14 engine-house near-by and they telephoned for the No. 2 Hook and Ladder Company, They responded In four minutes, but difficulties hindered the work and It was fully thirty minutes btfore the insane man was lifted to the surface.

The sides of the well were tall and slimy, so two scaling ladders were used. Two of the company went down taking a rope apiece along. These were fastened around him and after forcing him to release his hold on the pump the others slowly lifted him to the top with the aid of a hose hoist. It waa round that outside of a few bruises on one lee he was uninjured. The firemen turned him over to the men of the Clay-street patrol wagon and he was taken to Jail where the charge of lunacy was again registered against him.

The well contained only four feet of water. Just enough to break his fall without endangering his life by drowning. Arter his rescue he refused to say a word to any one.
