The delegation from Tucson was conspicuous then, as in these later years, by brilllancy of intellect as well as political sagacity. Representative Capron of that district, while opposed to the appointment of a chaplain, was unwill- ing to go on record as such, and, with his colleagues, endeavored to prevent the pre- sentation of the name of Bishop Boyd, who accompanied the Goodwin company, for that office. In spite of the primeval Jobbying of the Tucson delegation, the rame of Bishop Boyd was presented, and in a fit of true Tucson insubmissiveness the name of Judge Fleury, who had no pretension of being of the cloth, was offer- ed in opposition by Representative Capron. One of the Santa Cruz delegates aros? to Inquire which candidate had the greater amount of whisky. Capron loudly declared that Judge Fleury had several five-gallon kegs at his command, and he was forth- with elected over his veritably ordained opponent on a pure whisky platform. Phe council adjourned to celebrate the victory with the house, and the day following the lower house adjourned to celebrate with another five-gallon keg the concurrence with the upper branch in the nomination of Chaplain Fleury. Judge Fleury, now justice of the peace of Prescott precinct, relates many interesting experiences of the early days of the gov- ernment, no less turbulent than those of today, but more hazardous of actual than political life and limb. The Indians were numerous and all bad. There were Wal- lapais, Mohaves and Yavapais, and then coyote cries from the surrounding pines were heard nightly. The nails used for building the original capitol, inhabited to- day by Judge Fleury, cost $100 a keg. Chairs were $5 each; a carpenter charged $1,100 for sheathing the interior of one room, and tobacco brought any price asked. ‘A printing prees which had been brought by the expedition from Santa Fe was at once set up. The original paper was called ‘The Miner, only because, after repeated experiments, it was found that was the only suitable word which could be formed with the limited supply of type. THE TOOTHSOME MELON Watermelons Are Now-in Their Prime in fOTe Am Abundance of the Juicy Fruit Just Now—Where the Local Sup- ply is @btained. — The glorious watermelon ts now in its prime, and for the next few weeks Wash- ington will be reveling Zn this noble fruit. There is something about the watermelon that places it aloof from all other things that grow, on a little pedestal all By itself. In its very name there is something sug- gestive of succulence, refreshing, delight- ful. Humorists delight in referring to the Bond of union between the colored man and the watermelon, but he is not the only one whose heart beats a trifle faster and whose mouth waters at the sight of the first big chunk of green’ toothsomeness. ‘Now the market is full of them, and every produce shpp around town has a big pyra- mid of them displayed in most attractive style. It is said by those who know that the flavor of a melon is not hurt a bit by hav- ing it plugged and filled with wine, and then laying it away on ice to chill for a couple of hours before it is eaten. Tnat’s all right for the effete club man who has to have a cocktail for an eppetizer before breakfast. But if one really wants to have a melon at its prime, there are some who say that it never tastes as good as when it has been removed by stealth from some one clse’s patch in the dark of the moon, when the dew, hangs heavy on its cuter rind, and “dat melon’s bound to cool.” Just at present, however, the melons in the nearby patches are not ripe, and the dealers depend for their supply on what are brought from the south. It is good news for the lovers of the fruit to hear that the crop was never more plentiful than this year, and that they were never cheaper at this season. The best are sell- ing just now at an average of thirty cents, but prime specimens can be had from five to ten cents less than that. The price is rot expected to go down for a couple of weeks, or until the “eastern sho’"” melons begin to put in an appearance. The best now in market come from Georgia, and are brought up by train, so that as little time as possible is lost in transit, and the melons reach here as fresh as may be. Before very long, how- ever, they will be coming up the river by the beat load, and then the wharves will present a picturesque sight. One .of the large dealers told a Star reporter that it is a fact that the melons that are now brought from down south reach here with less delay from the time they are picked ene do the melons that come later by oat. He accounts for this by the fact that now they are brought by fast train, but they come up the river by sailboats, and the bet- ter part of a week may elapse between the time they leave the vine and the time they leave the table for the interior of the con- sumer. With favoring winds this time is materially cut down, and there are lots of connoisseurs who prefer to wait for the local product, on the ground that nowhere are melons so good as those raised just across the Eastern branch. Unfortunately for these, it is said that the supply of ngarby>frait is not likely to be up to the standard@™this season. The reason for this is that»there has been: too much rain this summer for melons to be at their best, and that»the wet season has aided and abetted the! bugs in their nefa- rious work of destroying’ the vines. How to teil a good melon? A local expert who handles thousands every year says that the only reliable way to judge of a melon is by its weight. !A melon that is at its prime is heavier tham at any other time. When just ready for the knife it has more juice than when green,,and the minute it gets over-ripe it becomes pithy fmside, and the rosy interior begins to split, leaving interstices of considerable size. This also tends to make it lighter. If you know the exact sound of a good melon you will recognizé it by its “plank, a put that requires an er that is properly at- tuned and experienced) from listening to many melots, Then, too, a melon in its prime gives forth a crisp crackling when pressed between strong hands.

Senator Jones Snys It is Merely to Appoint a Committee. Senator Jones of Arkansas, who joined with Senators Harris and Turple in issuing a call for a conference of silver democrats in Washington on the 18th of August, has written a letter to a friend in Washington, explaining the origin of the call and the purpose of the meeting. He says: “At Memphis, after the adjournment of the meeting there, a number of democrats from different states had a meeting at the Gayoso Hotel, and, after consideration, that meeting requested Senators Harris, Turple and me to take steps to organize the silver democrats, so that they should be fairly represented in the rational convention. We concluded that the best way to do this was to first organize a national central com- mittee of silver democrats, consisting of one or more members for each state, and let these members look after the organiza- tion of their own states. To select gentle- men for membership of this committee by correspondence seemed slow; hence, it was concluded to invite one or more gentlemen of character and experience from each state to meet in Washington and select, if they thought well of it, this central committee. This is all there is of it, as I understand.” The general impression seems to have gone out that this conference was to be a mass meeting. Senator Jones’ statement puts it in a different light. CHARGED WITH MURDER. One Man Sloys Another With a Blow of the Fist. Saturday Sheriff Zeller arrested George Lapole, a canal boatman, eharging him with the murder of David J. Marky at the lock along the canal, about one mile above Harper's Ferry. Lapole made the follow- ing statement: “Markey was on my boat and got off at Harper's Ferry. When he came back from the town he was under the influence of liquor, and commenced to curse me and cal? me ugly names. I asked him to stop abusing me, and he seemed to pay no attention. I finally goteangry and went out on the towpath and krocked him down. I only struck him once, with my bare fist. I am surprised to hear of his death, but I did just! as any other man would have done.” Markey died late Saturday night, and the sherlff was telegraphed to arrest Lapole at once. The prisoner was taken to Hagers- town and placed in jail to await a hearing. gold that when Markey fell his head struck a rock, and the skull was fractured. He was carried to the’ store of Albertus Spence, opposite Harper's Ferry, where he died. An inquest wds*held and Lapole charged with the killiig. Markey was well and largely connected “1 Frederick. —+6-+___ Dr: Seaman Found Guilty. The jury in the case of Dr. Seaman, who was charged with having performed a crim- inal operation which resulted in the death of Emily J. Hall, at Detroit, rendered their verdict. Their decision was “guilty on the: third count.” In other words, the doctor ts convicted of having performed an abortion “by means unknown.” Miss Hall was sent to Detroit from Black Heath, Dudley, England, it is alleged, by the Rev. Jonathan Bell, a Methodist clergy- man, who is also given out as the author of ker shame. SS Fatal Omaha Indian Drunk. Two Indian women and one child died Saturday night in Yeaton’s pasture, at Decatur, Neb., where the Omaha Indian drunk is taking place. The women got gloriously drunk on a home-made com- pound of hard cider, and participated in an Indian dance until completely overcome. This makes the seventh Indian who has died since the celebration began. Captain Beck, with fifteen Indian police from the Winnebago agency, arrived on the grounds Saturday. ‘the carriage driving along BREEZY CAPE MAY Senator Hill is to Take a There, Rest A Large, New Hotel Projected and Various Gratifying Improve- ments Realized. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAPE MAY, July 13, 1895. The season here has opened in earnest, ard there are many visitors here. Among them is a large sprinkling of Washington- ians. The numbers’ about the hotels have increased in such a degree that no matter where one goes there can be found lots of company. The spirit of improvement has struck old Cape May at last, and many thirgs are talked of, which will open the eyes of visitors another season. The gen- tlemen who compose the city council are most all young and active business men, and they have inaugurated several moves already. One is to clear the beach drive from the obnoxious trolley tracks which were laid upon it, and for a time spoiled it. They are laboring under the disadvantage that the mayor, who ought to help them, is the superintendent of the trolley and payt owner. This body has also given out a ccntract for building a mammoth music and sun pavilion on the beach, After several writs threatening injunc- ticrs by kickers, who think the old way of fifty years ago good enough now, because it was then, when Cape May had no equal resorts to compete against her, the courts have decided to let the matter go on. In this pavilion there is to be music, free to all who want to hear it, three times a day. The architecture of the structure is quite pretty, and the building will be an orna- ment as well as an entertaining place on the beach. Cape May’s hotels are not run on the cheese-paring policy any longer. Old pro- prietors found it didn’t pay, and new ones are not trying the scheme. Liberality is the motto of all, and amusement is to te brought to the fore as Cape May's best advertisement. With Cape May's grand, smooth, white beach, as soft as vel- vet, and as firm as a rock, too, the only tking needed for sometime back has been amusement. In the past year the South Jersey rail- read opened for business, giving a compet- ing line to the West Jersey, and as a conse- quence the time between here and Phila- delphia has been reduced one-fourth. Since the opening of the road there has been a ccmpeting line of telegraph, the Postal, in opposition to the Western Union; two local telephone companies, and a long-distance "phone, all of which Cape May never before enjoyed. Further than that competing ice companies and coal companies have estab- lished branches and brought down prices on these lines nearly one-third. Then comes the announcement that Jas. E. Taylor, E. Swain Hilareth and Logan M. Bullitt, son of the framer of the Philadel- phia charter of today, and nephew of Mrs. Gen. Phil. Kearney, with James Mooney, owner of the land, are to build a new $150,000 hotel on the block between Jackson and Perry streets, fronting on Beach ave- nue. Cape May is being amused at base ball again this season. Phil King, the Wash- ington boy who won distinction in Prinoe- ton as captain of both its foot ball ahd base ball teams, is Cape May’s captuin, and he has a strong aggregation with him. The fifth Maryland regiment will arrive tomorrow morning and encamp on the same grounds they used twelve years ago. The camp is to be named William P. Zollinger. The camp has been tn order séveral days. It adjoins the Cape May athletic grounds out on Lafayette street. Capt. Henry B. Keyser, inspector of rifle practice, has ar- Tanged a good system of rifle ranges at 100, 200, 300 and 500-yard distances. Gov. Brown and staff and Brig. Gen. Stewart Brown are to visit the camp and inspect the regiment. They, with many ladies, have already engaged quarters at the Stockton. Mrs. Markoe, wife of Col. Frank Markoe of the regiment, and family, are now here. Capt. Walter L. Finley of the ninth cavalry, U. S. A., hes been detailed to as- sist Adj. Gen. H. Kyd Douglass, and the two will be guests of the regiment. Mrs. Helen Ellis Ryan, Miss Ryan, Miss ‘Tomlinson and Mrs. Blanche Tomlinson are here for an extended visit. Dr. Henry Fay has taken a Perry street cottage for the summer. Dr. George Byrd Harrison and family are occupying their Broadway cottage. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Renshaw, who have recently returned from an eleven months’ tour of Europe, are here. Serator David B. Hill of New York has ergaged rooms at the Stockton for a so- Journ. Dr. P. R. Flanagan is a Congress Hall guest. Charles Stokes Wayne, the author, is lecated at ne Windsor. William N. Grlifith of the Richard Mans- field Company and Mrs. Griffith are lo- cated at the Star Villa for the season. Mrs. J. Frank White is stopping with friends at a Washington street cottage. Ex-Congressman William McAleer and family of Philadelpaia are at the Lafayette for the summer. Herman Kretz, who recently gave up his position in Washington to become super- intendent of the Philadelphia mint, is at | the Lafayette with Mrs. Kretz. = Senor Don Edmundo J. Plaze of the Mex!- ean legation is at Congress Hall for an extended visit. L, T. 8. _—————— Lynched Two Negroes. At midnight Saturday night at Hampton, Ark., two negroes were lynched by seventy- five men. Two weeks ago a white man by the name of Martin was killed by three negroes. Two of them were arrested and confined in jail. A mob gathered several rights ago, but were persuaded to desist. Saturday night there was another gather- ing, and seventy-five delegates marched to the jail and demanded of the sheriff the surrender of the murderers. It was useless to resist such a force with but a handful of men to summon to his aid, so the keys were delivered to the mob. The culprits were carried to the neighbor- ing forest and hanged to trees. The men were not masked and made no effort to con- ceal their identity. Two years ago a race riot ogeurred in Calhound. The negroes greatly outnumber the whites and further trcuble is expected. ——__+e+___ An Indian as a God. In the Caddo Indian district of Kansas it has been raining steadily for a week. The rain, coming as it does after the incanta- tions of Squirrel. an aged and decrepit In- dian, who elaims that the Great Spirit has given him the power to make rain, has driven the Caddo Indians into a frenzy. They have gone so wfid over the magic art which Squirrel claims to possess that they are worshiping him as a god. ——__—$_— Nicaragua Canal Model. Space in the transportation building of the Atlanta exposition has been awarded for the mcdel of the Nicaragua canal ex- hibited at Paris. It is fourteen feet by forty feet, and is a relief of the entire ca- nal from Sar Juan del Norte on the Carib- bean to Brito on the Pacific. —____+«+—_____ The John Brown Fort. Miss Kate Field has undertaken the work of bringing back from~ Chicago John Brown's fort and rebuilding it at Harper’s Ferry. She has asked as a gift three acres of ground from Storer College (colored), on Boliver Heights. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad offers to transport free of charge the old fort if a free site is provided. ee Died After a Fast of GS Days. A, M. Kennedy of Delevan, Kan., has just died after a fast of sixty-elght days. Kennedy was taken ill several months ago, his malady bafiling the skill of physicians. Then he became paralyzed, and from that day until his death he took no food—sixty- eight days in all. ——+e+___ Made Chief of Division. James I.

Places in the Medica] Branch of the Navy That Nobody Seems to Want. Strange as it may appear, there are sev-. eral good paying and otherwise desirable government offices that have gone a-beg- ging for nearly a year. These are in the medical department of the navy. There is no other department in the military, naval or-civil service of the government where a similar state of affairs exists. Usually the naval service ts most attractive to per- sons willing to serve their country for a consideration. The pay is good, the stand- ing par excellence, and the opportunities for travel under pleasant auspices unsur- passed. Although the medical corps is on the same footing as the other staff corps, for some reason or other, it seems to be less attractive as a calling to those quali- fied for it than fs the case with the oth- er departments. Thirtecn Vacancies Need Filling. There are now thirteen vacancies in the lst of assistant surgeons, the lowest grade in the corps, and of this number, ten have existed for nearly a year. The lack of can- didates for these places is surprising, con- sidering the large number of medical grad- uatés that are launched every year upon a professional field popularly supposed to be already overstocked. Until a few years ago there was no difficulty in maintaining the full quota of officers for this branch of the service, and there were always at least a dozen applicants for every vacancy. In the last year or two, however, the appli- cations have been few and far between, and only about half the number were found qualified. It is true the examinations are stiff and thorough, but there is nothing in them to deter the better class of grad- tes. ox board of medical examiners is ‘almost continually in session at the New York navy yard for the examination of candi- dates for admission to the corps, but the only candidate to appear during the past month was a young man named Hubbard from Binghamton, N. ¥. He passed the ordeal successfully, and will be commis- sioned in a short time. Surgeon General Tryon’s Views. According to Surgeon General Tryon, the present head of the corps, the lack of ap- plications is mainly due to the failure of Congress to place medical officers of the navy on the same rank and footing as their medical brethren in the army, and he gives as another cause the failure of the Navy Department to revise the regulations so as to provide that the doctors, regard- less of rank, shall be messed with the older officers of the ship. Albeit, the young naval surgeon has about as easy a time of it on shipboard as a marine officer, or a paymaster, and gets more pay than an ensign of the line. He is invariably messed with the junior officers of the ship, and sometimes is compelled to swing in hammocks, like the jackies, to the great sacrifice of his dignity. The profes- sional pride of the surgeon is wounded by this apparent discrimination against them, and=it is a constant source of irritation and complaint. Otherwise, however, the places are very desirable in the important matters of duiy, pay and rapidity of pro- motion. — Appointed to the Revenue Service.

Machinery Now Exported to the United States in Quantity at a Profit. et Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz has sent to the State Department a report in regard to the efforts that Germany is making to- ward securing trade in the United States— especially in machinery. The Chemnitz chamber of commerce is displaying un- usual activity in this Une. The leading journal of the city devotes columns every day to questions that relate to commerce with the United States. A recent article shows the exports of machinery from the principal European countries to the United States in 1893 to have been as follows: Ger- many, $210,253; England, $2,804,075; Scot- jand, $89,546; Sweden and Norw $87, France, $51,145; Switzerland, $37,041. article discusses how best to obtain large share of this trade so long enjoyed oy England. It is claimed that no matter what are England's natural advantages, or the dis- inclination of Americans to buy foreign made machines, there is now, and will be fcr a long time, a market in the United States for certain Germap machines, such as rotary presses, protected by patents, for fine tilustration printing; special machines for beet sugar, safety matches and cement, and such others as by reason of lack of labor familiar with machinery construc- tien are not yet made in the United States. I; is declared thet in spite of the import duties machinery may be exported to the United States with profit, provided the prices are low enough, the delivery on time and an absolute guarantee given that in case of breakage parts of machines muy be ob.ained in the United States. Manu- facturers are urged to keep the machines they make inside certain sizes, so that re- serve parts may be obtained, and that sup- ply houses be established at all large cen- ters. ——_—_—_+ @ +-—___ - Weed Seeds, Wind and Snow. From Garden and Forest. Some interesting investigations have been made at the South Dakota experiment sta- tion in the distribution of weed seeds by winter winds. For example, the contents of a snowdrift on plowed land two feet square, three inches deep and ten roijs from any standing weeds melted, and thir- ty-two weed seeds belonging to nine species were found in it. Other tests confirm the fact that seeds are carried great distance§ upon the snow. Another test was made by pouring half-bushel piles of oats and millet upon the snow crust when the wind was fifteen miles an hour. Both millet and oats passed a point twenty rods from where they had been placed in forty seconds. A twenty-five-mile wind was found to drift wheat grains thirty rods In a minute. Of course, when winds on the plaius keep blowing in one direction for days, seeds will travel many miles. The moral of these investigations seems to be that in the great western plains, at least, bare summer fal- lowing and matured weeds in waste ground may help to scatter seed during the winter over great areas, and they will be buried in the soil when the snow melts. ——__ ++ Taking Testimony in Germany. The German government has objected to the taking of testimony of Ge=man subjects in Germany by conumissions issued by the courts of the United States, federal or state, and hereafter the cnly method in which testimony can be taken in that country for use before ovr courts will be by means of letters rogatory addressed to some German , who will take the testimony.
