COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 12, 1895. The first county to select delegates to the republican state convention has just made the choice. This was Darke county. It was done upon the presumption that when the state republican committee calls the convention it will apportion the delegates upon the old ratio basis of one vote for each 500 votes cast at the last election, which has prevailed for many years. In passing it should be stated that this will make the convention this year a smaller one than that of last year, for the enor- mous plurality given to the republican ticket last year came rather from the refus- al of democrats to vote at all than from any increase in the republican vote. In- deed, the republican vote actually fell off from the strength shown in the election of 1898; but the democratic vote fell off in so much larger numbers that the republican net plurality was enormously increased. Last year the republican convention con- tained 564 delegates, while this year’s con- vention wili contain but S28. Darke county is entitied to but eight dele- gates. The candidates make various ims to the delegation, but the most reliable report seems to be'that five of them are for Poe and three for Keifer. No more coun- ties will choose delegates until after the state committee has issued the call for the convention. The convention will no doubt be held here about the middle of June, so that it may be expected that the state central committee will be called together before the close of this month. It seems to be the general de- sire that Senator Sherman be the presi- dent of the convention. He has no per- sonal interests in the convention and will no doubt consent to act. Lieut. Gov. Harris and his friends are now showing activity in the contest that promises to place Gen. Harris well toward the front among the candidates for the nemination by the time the convention is called. The Eaton Register, his home or- gan, makes a strong editorlal appeal in his behalf this week, basing the argument principally upon the fact that he is a prac- tical farmer. Ex-Congressman Henry L. Morey of Hamilton and Col. R. M. Nevin of Dayton are talked of now as possible candidates for the republican nomination for governor. Congressman C. H. Grosvenor is also push- ing his claims. Ohio republicans are confident that the national leader for their party will be chosen from this state, no matter what the issue may be. If it is protection again, the champion of protection, McKinley, is the logical leader. If the money question shall be made to supersede the tariff in 1896, then the logical leader, they say, will be Senator John Sherman, the ablest financier i Ex-Senator Allen . Thurman said two years ago, when asked if Sherman would be a candidate for presidential nomination again, “He cer- tainly will if he lives. I know him weil.” Col. S. K. Donivan, who is one of Sena- tor Brice’s political managers here, says the Senator has not yet concluded to try for re-clection. The probability is that he does not see how it will be possible to elect. a democratic legislature this fall. If by hook or crook the democrats should eon- trol the next legislature, Mr. Brice would be a candidate, no doubt. ——____ Figures About Tin Plate. The Manufacturers’ Record publishes a compilation by John Jarrett, secretary of the Tin Plate Manufacturers’ Association of the United States, showing the growth of tin plate making in this country. The report states that there are now in this country completed and in course of con- struction thirty-four tin plate works. The capacity of these works will exceed an an- nval production of 260,000 tons of finished product, and will furnish employment to 12,000 hands. The capital invested is about $8,500,000, and the wages paid will be about. $7,000,000 a year. These figures pertain only to the manipu- lation of reducing the billet in some case8, but the bar in most cases, to finished prod- uct, and do not tnelude the amount of la- bor from the ore to the billet and bar,. which is very extensive. The mills already in operation have a capacity of 160,000 tons of finished product. Mr. Jarrett adds: “When we remember that less than four years ago no tin pilates were made in this country, the marvelous growth of the industry is certainly phe- nomenal. No other manufacturing indus- try, so far as I have been able to discover, has ever made such progress in the same period of time.” ——_+e+______ An Inventor's Suicide. Peters Wihs, an inventor, shot himself, at Chicago, Thursday night. Financial troubles caused the suicide. Wihs had in- vented several fishing tackle devices, some of which he exhibited at the California mid-winter fair, receiving a diploma from the officials there. He partially regained consciousness after shooting himself, and declared that he had been swindled out of a large amount of thoney. ——____~e+______ Mrs. James, wife of ex-Postmaster Gen- eral Thomas L.

The Morton Cadets are preparing with renewed energy for their trip to Memphis, Tenn., next month to engage in the big in- terstate drill. Every night the youngsters work about three hours mastering the ma- neuvers provided in the drill regulations. The progress being made is highly satisfac- tery to those who have witnessed the work of the organization, and it is considered almost a certainty that the boys will re- turn to Washington with several prizes. The trip will cost the company about. $1,000, and in order to raise that amount large dependence is being placed on the big’ benefit entertainment, to be held in Metzerott Music Hall next Friday evening, April 19. The committee in charge of the affair has devoted considerable time and energy to arranging a program and in en- deavoring to make it as attractive as possi- ble. The opening number will be a selec- tion by the Carroll Institute Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Sol. Minster. Mr. George H. O'Connor, the popular young vocalist and comedian, is to follow with a number of his characteristic selections, and. then will appear the well-known Apollo Quartet. Mr. Sol. Minster will render a violin solo and Prof. Mariano Maina, bari- tone, will sing. The Philharmonic Quartet, Miss Annie Lewis, Messrs. Cullen and Col- lins, Hub Smith and Miss Mary Helen Howe will appear and contribute what will undoubtedly be a very attractive enter- ‘The conclual concluding number of the is to be an individual competitive dri open to commissioned officers of the regiment of High School Cadets, for a handsome gold medal. Capt. Charles S. Domer of the champion National Fencibles will probably act as judge of the drill, which alone is ex- pected to attract a big audience. The Morton Cadets have a strong follow- ing in the city and their friends are legion. The boys’are depending to a large degree on the success of the benefit, and no doubt the tickets remaining on hand will be dis- Posed of during the few days like hot cakes, The patronesses of the entertainment are the following: Mrs. Secretary Lamont, Mme. Romero, Mrs. Secretary Carlisle, Mrs. Gen. Schofield, Mrs, Senator Gorman, Mrs. Justice Field, Mrs. Justice Brewer, Mrs, M. M. Parker, Mrs. Fred. McGuire and Mrs. J. C. Breckinridge. ere ——___ POOR SHOW FOR AN ENEMY. Trying the Battery‘@t Sandy Hook in the Prgsenc®ot Army Officers. Interesting trials of the big mortar bat- tery at Sandy Hook were made Thursday In the presence of many army officers, and it was demonstrated how difficult it would be for a hostile vessel to approach New York. The sixteen mortars were fired. The charge used in the first firing was sixty pounds of brown prismatic powder with a projectile weighing 800 pounds. The mor- tars were elevated to sixty degrees and were ranged to carry six thousand yards. The sixteen projectiles landed in a space .¥Yery little, if any, larger than the size of the battery. They were imbedded about eight feet in the ground, and~the corporal in charge of the squad at that point de- clared that nearly all of them dropped ver- tically into the sand. An exhibition was given of the 10-inch rifle, which is mounted on the Gordon dis- appearing carriage. Then the second shot wes discharged, a break in the machinery of the carriage occurred and tests had te be discontinued. One of tae two monstrous 12-Inch guns was then fired. it was given a range of five miles and elevated ten degrees. The one-thousand-pound projectile was back by four hundred and seventy pounds of prismatic powder. This piece was dis- charged only once, the shot landing far out to sea, directly in a line, but much beyond a white buoy which had been piaced there for a mark. ——-~+e+ Personal Mention. Lieut. Col.

The oil plant of the Atlantic Refining Company, at Wilkesbarre, Pa., burned yes terday afternoon. Shortly after the fire broke out one of the large tanks, contain- ing 000 gallons of oil, exploded, but fcrtunately no one was injured. The loss will reach fully $50,000. The origin of the fire is unknown. ———— Practical Irrigation. From the Kansas City Star. Recently the past week the pump which is to raise the water for the Hoffman irrl- gating plant in the Smoky Hill valley near Enterprise, Kan., has been put into po- sition and the first water has been turned into the ditches. The pump has a capacity of 150,000 gallons of water per hour and it works like a charm. It is operated by a water wheel, which already provides a large part of the power for a-corn ‘mill and the water is drawn from the Smoky river just above the Hoffman mill dam. Nearly 200 acres of land are under ditch and can be watered. The main ditches, which are nearly three miles long, carry a stream of water three feet deep and four feet wide. The pump running at its full capacity will in ten hours put fifty acres cf land under one inch of water, or give it as much moisture as a heavy rainfall. Ralph Hoffman, son of C. B. Hoffman, and manager of the plant, says that only about.100 acres of the 200 under ditch will be put under water this season owing to the fact that in order to rent the land this season, he is compelled to give renters a “water guarantee” which he does not feel like giving for so large an acreage in the experimental stage of the enterprise. Up- wards of fifty acres have already been “let” to renters in plots ranging from one to five acres at $15 per acre, a water guarantee being given. Each renter receives free of charge for the season the services of an experienced irrigator recently from Greeley, Col. He will hate the control of the water and will conduct experiments looking to- ward the success of irrigation under the circumstances here. The crops grown this year will be largely of an experimental nature. A iarge part of the ground will be planted to potatoes, cabbage, onions and celery. ee A Polyglot School. ‘Twenty-nine nationalities are represented in one of New York's public schools. This school is Grammar School . 23, at the ecrner of Mulberry and Bayard streets, in the sixth ward. There are in the primary and grammar departments .of this schooi 1,300 children, and at the last census there were repre- sented among them Hebrews, Itallans, Ger- mans, Irish,Greeks, Russians, Poles,French, Scotch, English, Welsh, Swiss, Chinese, Cicilians, Assyrians, Tunislans (North Afri- ca), Javanese, Congo West Indians, Cubans, Norwegians, Swedeg, Austrians, Hunga- rians, Herzegoviniaas, Wallachians, Moida- vians, Egyptians, Danes and Armenians. Not over ten per cent-of these children speak English in their homes, the propor- tion in the primary being under, and that in the grammar department over this esti- mate. Where a child learns the En; language it is month by month edi the household unconsciously, and w: aid of the evening schools the aazin he of the foreign population is more thorough than the theorist might believe. 2° Another Light Another one of those rare instances in which the “forked fury” has drawn a pho- tograph upon glass is reported from the ob- servatory situated on Mt. Arie, near the summer resort of West Baden. One of the astronomers of that institution on making an examination of the object glass of one - of the telescopes was surprised to find a perfect photograph of a flower upon both lenses of the instrifment. It is believed that the photograph was drawn by lightning, the glass having been left exposed during a storm on one of the upper platforms of the observatory. The flower is one known only in the Mt. Arie district.
