. A CRIME TO LAUGH. Queer Sunday Laws of 1781 That Still Govern England’s Lord’s Day. The introduction of the Sunday bill by Lord Hobhouse brings up the fact that we are governed in respect to Sunday observations by an act of the year 1781. It seems that a Sunday lecture can always be made the subject of prosecution. Some time ago a Sunday lecturer at Leeds was actually sacrilegious enough to make his audience laugh. The proprietor of the lecture hall was thereupon prosecuted for keeping a disorderly ' house. Music can now be given in the open air on Sunday, but if it is given in a room nothing must be charged for chairs. In otl<>r words, it will be possible for any body of men and women to run Sunday concerts and Sunday lectures with the view of making them pay expenses, but not for their own profit. V* 111 the years 1200 and 1201 one Eustace, abbot of Flaye, preached throughout England the observance of the Lord’s day. He enjoined that no kind of work should be done after the ninth hour on Saturday until sunrise on Monday.

Ace rd !'.g ; i Vie manner ot the times his p. .'aching was backed up by miracles. At Beverly a carpenter persisting in finishing a wedge after the ninth hour fell down in paralysis. In the same town a woman went on with her weaving after tiie ninth hour. Result, paralysis, with loss of voice. At Rafferton a man made a loaf and baked it on Saturday evening. When he broke it on Sunday morning, blood started from it. At Wakefield a miller, grinding after hours, ground out blood instead of flour. In Lincolnshire a woman made a loaf and put it in the oven. It remained dough! In the same county a pious woman; finding it was the ninth hour, set aside her loaves. Lo! On Sunday morning the loaves beautifully baked without any fire at all. And yet, the chronicler adds, in spite of these miracles the people have returned to the holding of markets on the Sunday!—London Queen. Wedded Bliss. Friend—And you are very happy? Bride—Very.

is still rams), The Republican League Wrestling With the Silver Issue, NO OTHER DIFFERENCES. Probability That the Convention Will Not Adjourn Until Tomorrow In Order to Give the Delegate* an Opportunity to See and (fear Governor McKinley* Meeting of Resolution* Committee. Cleveland, June 20.—The opening session of the eighth national convention of Republican clubs adjourned at J p. m, yesterday until 10 a. m. today after disposing of all preliminaries and routine matters. There were no developments in the convention indieilting the contest between those wearing yellow and white badges and representing respectively the gold and silver standards. But in the committee rooms at the Arc,tide, hotels and elsewhere the fight continues. The committee on credentials had considerable amusement over the South Carolina contest. The committees on league work, rule and order of business had nothing unusual. The committee on time and place selected Milwaukee as the place for the next national convention, and referred the selection of the date for the next national convention to the executive board, with instructions to select any date after that of the Republican convention. The postponement of the time to a date substMpient to that of the national convention next year was for the purpose of avoiding any such contest on resolutions as that which is now confronting the delegates of the clubs. To Wait For McKinley. There was a movement yesterday to conclude the work with the banquet tonight, but the agitation, before tile committee on resolutions during the afternoon and evening developed such differences that it is not likely the convention will close before tomorrow. The delegates from the west am I south want to get away tomorrow. As it is known that Governor McKinley cannot get here till tomorrow morning, there is a general desire to wait for him till that time, and some charge that his friends are seeking to prolong the procession so as to have a big McKinley day. Others charge that the efforts to expedite business so as to conclude tonight were intended to give the delegates an opportunity to leave before McKinley’s arrival. Dividing the Offices. It was conceded yesterday that the two leading offices would be divided between the gold and silver men by making General McAlpin of New York, president and John Byrnes of Denver secretary, but night is was proposed to refer the selection of a secretary to the executive board. It is claimed that A. B. Humphreys was first Selected by the executive board and afterward reelected by the annual convention. The silver men think the New York delegation, after feeling confident of McAlpin's election, are seeking to avoid having an ultra silver man for secretary. The Silver Fisht. The feature of the day has been the silver fight before the coinmittee on resolutions. The committee organized with Congressman J. B. Robinson of Pennsylvania as. chairman and 11. G. Knowles of Delaware as secretary. The organization was against the silverites, but the latter were not discouraged and opened up the,.fight from the start. The committee was iii open session till after 6 o’clock when, on motion of Congressman Towney of Minneapolis, it adjourned until 8 p. m. for an executive session, at which time a subcommittee of nine was announced by Chairman Robinson and time given to the silvermen and others for a hearing. The resolution of the silver men was offered, also other silver resolutions. The opponents of free silver, through Mr. Hunter of Missouri, offered the financial plank. The compromise resolution attracting most attention was presented by Senator-elect .1. M. Thurston of Nebraska as follows: We approve the declaration of the last Republican convention ‘That, the American people from tradition- and interest favor bimetallism and the Republican party demands the use of both gold, and silver as a standard money with such restrictions and under such provisions to be determined as will secure the maintainence of the parity of values of the two metals, so that the purchasing and debt paying power of the dollar, whether ot gold, silver or paper, shall be.at all times equal, and refer the action tor a more specific declaration to. the next Republican national convention, which alone has the power to bind the party or make platforms and declare principles.”" Silver the Disturbing Element. There was no discussion of the tariff or any other issues in the committee except that of the silver plank and no differences of opinion existed in the committee of 46 members except on the silver question. Nearly all the members of the, committee xvere. instructed on the silver.question byitheir respective stat-0 delegations. It is conceded that these instructions make it almost certain mat both majority and minority reports will be presented to the convention and that the silver question will be. fought on the floor today. The silver men still have confidence in their strength among the delegates, although a majority of the committee is against them. When the committee on resolutions reassembled at 8 p. m. the following subcommittee was appointed to draft the resolutions: Hon. John D. Robinson of Pennsylvania, chairman general committee (ex - officio); Horace G. Knowles of Delaware, secretary general commfttee (ex-officio,); J. A. Towney of Minnesota, Janies H. Harkiess of Missouri, Henry B. Blackwell of Massachusetts, L. M. Hubbard of Connecticutt, C. E. Allen of Utah, S. A. Robinson of New York, Senator F. T. Dubois of Idaho, W. W. Gurry of District of Columbia and H. M. Coke of Oregon. The full committee heard arguments on tho silver Question pro aqd con for

They denounce the mulct law and the Republican party as the author of said law. Favor a Convention. Lebanon, Mo., June. 20.—John W. Ferris, chairman of the Laclede county Democratic committee has anounced that he has at la-st received favorable responses from more than a majority of the 114 Democratic county chairmen in regard to his circular asking them it they were in favor of culling a Democratic state convention for the discussion of the financial question. He says if Chairman Mattitt refuses to call the convention he will issue the call backed by a majority of the county chairmen. Democratic Financial Convention. Denver, June. 20. —Chairman Arbucle of the Democratic state central coinmittee has issued a call for a Democratic state convention, to be held at Denver, July 2, for the purpose of considering the financial question.

Constituent Parts of a Cord of Wood. A cord of fairly seasoned wood weight about 4,000 pounds. If subjected to a heat of between 700 and 800 degrees it resolves-into .three distinct-products; — charcoal, pyroligneous acid and gases. Inorder to properly bring this change about it is necessary to place the wood in a kiln and apply the heat gradually for four or dive days. At the end. of that time the residue will be 1,000 pounds of', charcoal. 2.01)0 pounds of pyroligneous i acid and 1 .dOO pounds of uneoudensed | Rises. The aggregate weight of these | products is exactly equal to the original weight of the wood.—St, Louis Republic. ‘ Mrs. Gannet.

Ahts aa infers. Ants are terrible fighters. They have very powerful jaws, considering the size of ’ their bodies, and therefore their method is by biting. They will bite one another and hold on with a wonderful grip of the jaws, even after all their legs have been bitten off by other ants. Sometimes six or eight ants will be I clinging with a death hold to one an- ■ other, making a peculiar spectacle, some I with a leg gone and some with half the j body gone. One singular fact is that the grip of an ant’s jaw is retained even after • the body has been bitten off and nothing but the head remains.—Ex A Crime. “Is it true that Maud Was i arrested-for intimidating voters?” “Yes.
