THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, UNDAY, APRIL 26, 1896. NOW FOR THE STATE CONVENTION Republicans Are Planning Things to Be Done There. { SILVER,WOMEN AND WAR Party Leaders Figure on These Things, on Delegates and on Policies. CONTESTS AT THE OPENING. Eelly and Mahoney Will Add a Brass Band to Their Windy Fourth District Contest. The Republican State Convention is| now but ten days off, and during the com- | g week party leaders throughout the | State will give busy attention to various | matters which will come before the con- | vention. There are important contests for the con- | vention to decide at the outset of the meeting and then will come, besides the election of delegates to the National Con- | vention, something in the nature of a plat- | form, though if a later convention is held | a full party platform would not be adopted | until then. There will be the election of a | new State Central Committee and many are deeply interested in its make-up. | The time when Presidential electors and | Congressmen are to be nominated will be j cecided. The question of whether or not | the delegates to the National Convention | are to be instructed will be one of the most important before the convention and | many influential delegates are giving that | matter careful consideration. The attitude | of the party in California on the silver question will undoubtedly be declared | Resolutions on this question are now [ taking form in the minds and with the' pens of various men who expect to have | things to say on the floor either as regu- | larly elected delegates or by virtue of | proxies. | The women suffragiscs will be on band, | too, and all around the convention will | be an interesting and a notable one. | One of the features of the convention will be the arrival of a Kelly and Mahoney | delegation from the Fourth District with a brass band. This will be appropriate, as the Kelly-Mahoney outfit has built its structure wholly on wind and crime. Martin _ Ke and J. H. Mahoney will marshal and control the so-called delegation, though keeping discreetly silent while the band plays. Wit everything to gain and nothing 10 Kelly and Mahoney will | make a desperate play for recognition, | using all the arts in their cunning power to keep out of view the sole important motive behind the Fourth District con- | test—the play of two small and infamous political bosses for local political power., | members of the State Convention | 3 ow, however, that Kelly and Ma- | honey were the sole founders of the m | ment; that the organization is built on | two forged proxies used at a trick mid- night meeting called by Kelly and Ma- v; thatbuttwo of the eleven members State Central Committee from the 3 h District voted for the appointment of the Kelly-Mahoney Congressional com- mittee; that at the farcical Kelly-Mahoney primary not 300 Republicans, including all the “push’” Kelly and Mahoney could muster, voted for the delegation wholly named by Kelly and Mahoney; that 7300 fraudulent votes were added to the re- turns to give by pure inflation a fictitious show ot importance; that the entire mass of the party repudiated and ignored the Kelly-Mahoney movement, and the so- called contestants represent nobody, no element and no principle but Martin Kelly, Jerry Mahoney and their small vil- | iis is the contest, begun in crime by two criminals, that has been blown up with baid pretensions and a daily output of missiatements which is to have a cheap brass band and go up against the represen- tatives of the Republican party of the Fourth district, nominated by the people | of the district, elected by the people at | the cleanest and fairest primary the City | has known and backed by the solid re- | spectable mass of the party. | The outcome of this farcial pretense at a | contest is not in doubt. Kelly and Ma- | honey will not be crowned with laurels at | Sacramento. Republicans are few and far between in this City who fear that the Re- | publicans of the State of California will, | at tire State Convention, put the party in San Francisco in_any degree into the hands of an oft-indicted criminal of Tar Flat who defeated the last Republican nominee for Governor because Dan Burns wouldn’t give him spoils enough, | or into the hands of ancther partner of S8am Rainey, whose political career has from its inception confined its course to the cesspools and slimy sloughs of corrupt | practical politics. In the presence of this fake contest the Tepresentatives of the regular party are caimly pursuing their way. The regular | delegation will be unquestionably. seated. | It 1s signiticant that the one claim of successful” prospects made by Kelly and | Mahoney is based upon a small trick | which they describe, and not upon any merit in their cause. They noisily pro- claim that the chairman or the secretary | of the State Central Committee will be in- duced to put their delegation on the | temporary roll and thus give them the | advantage of voting for the temporary chairman, who would appoint a friendly | committee on credentials. | They would thus get a tactical advan-| tage before any argument or evidence bearing on the contest was presented, and | would help out their advantage by trading | any and every thing with anybody. Afi‘ this sounds well in some ears perhaps, but | as nothing of the sort will be done this | programme becomes nearly as important as the somewhat similar thumps on their | big bass drum will be on May 5. The case throughout is and will be one | of a cunning playing of wind and ward | olitics by a Martin Kelly and a Jerry Ma- {:nney. This pair of freebooters has, in the absence of anything else to do, begun to pop away at a tolerably high mark, but as they can get twelve shots for four bits the amusement is not very expensive to themselves nor dangerous to the Republi- can party. There will bea hot contest from Ala- meda County of the Third District, where one delegation will po by appointment and another by primary election, and there are possibilities of two or three As- sembly District contests from San Fran- cisco. The regular delezation will go to Sacra- mento unpledged and in favor of an unin- structed delegation to the National Con- vention. A large numbverof the delegates are known to favor McKinley, but the great majority — and it is increasing— recognize the wisaom of sending to St. Louis delegates who, while veting in ac- cordance with the known wishes of the State Convention as far as changed condi- tions would prrmit with'good sense, wonld vet be given some liberty of judgment in | tion for debate: | tion 3, clause 2, which refers to the filling of organization before going to Sacramento. Last evening the delegation from the Thirty-ninth District met at Relh‘b“““ headquarters and elected Charles H. Fair- all chairman. The delegates present ex- pressed their judgment that delegates to St. Louis should not be bound by any cast- iron instructions. Other district delegates will similarly organize this week. HE DIDN'T INTERFERE. Senator Brown Didn’t Care to Take Any Part in the Religious Exercises. Senator Brown, of one of the interior districts of Kentucky, was my seat mate one day on the Cincinnati Southern. Ata | way station some Salvation Army soldiers took the train. “There has been a great change in re- ligious methods within my remembrance,” said the Senator, reflectively. *‘Befo’ the difficulty "twixt the No’th and South there were great religious gatherin’s as regularas harvest. Niggers and white folks flocked to ’em in droves. You couldn’t stop ’em. It looked like the preachers brought the ‘power’ with them—that’s what we called the religious feelin’—power—an’ then they’s work up the excitement until the people in the crowd caught it. I've seen a plumb hundred folks at one of these camp meetin’s, all havin’ the power at once, a- hollerin’ an’ a-singin’ till yo’ couldn’t rest. Its very excitin’. I recall one camp gatherin’ over at Foxtown, on the Lexing- ton an’ Richmond_ pike; they had the power hard there. I never did know befo’ or since such strongly marked cases. *‘One was that of a most beautifol young woman—one of the most beautiful young women, I reckon, sir, that Kaintucky ever produced. She come a—r’arin’ an’ a chargin’ down the open space to the | preacher’s platiorm, for all the world like a two-year-old thoroughbred turned out to grass. On she comes a-jumping’ an’ hollerin’ aun’ her eyes blazin’ like young suns. It was a most noble sight. the way she cavorted. Just as she was nigh me she givesa special holler an’ falls clean ex- hausted onto the ground. She was pantin’ like a colt after running’ the Darby dis- tance an’ looked most attractive an’ ap- pealin’. I turned an’ left, It was too ex- citing’ a day for me.” “Why didn’t you pick her up and resusci- | tate her, Senator?” “Well, T thought of that, too, but I passed it up. If she was a-counterfeitin’ 1 didn’t want to be the means of caterin’ to her vanity. Ifjt wasa sho’ enough case of ‘power’ it was a case for providence to attena to, not me.”’—Chicago Times- Herald.

All the Opponents of the Minister Asked to Be Present Next Wednesday Nizht. In defiance of the expressed wishes of at least two-thirds of the members of the First Church, and the farther facy that he has been unfrocked by the Bay Confer- ence, Dr. Brown will preach to-day. At least he made a positive statement to that effect at 11 o’clock last night, though he declined to give the text of his sermon. It is generally believed that to-day wx_ll witness Dr. Brown’s last appearance in any capacity whatever in the pulpit of thp nearly disorganized church. The opposi- tion is firm in its determination to oust the belligerant minister. The foliowing general notice was sent out yesterday : FrANCIsco, Cal., April 20, 1896. Matters will come before the regular n on Wednesday evening, April 29, vitally af ing the future of the First Congregational Church. We are now in the majority, provided you are there, and we have a duty 10 perform; iwhich 1s to vote for the best interests of the church and the cause of Christ, which we believe will be best served by the retire- ment of the present pasior. : Do not excuse yourselyes from being present, thinking there will be enough without you. Come, sick or well, rain or shine. This in. cludes those you know who will vote for the church. J. T. McDONALD, J. H. WARREN, D.D., SYLVES1ER C. MPEON, Committee. This notice has been sent to only the known opponents of Dr. Brown, and is done probably through the fear that the | pastor would” refuse to call a business | meeting for next Wednesday night. They | fear that Brown would hardly call a meet- Jaurpose | ing of the members for the known of formally having himself depese 2 The opposition claim, however, that if they should fail to muster a majority at Wednesday night's meeting it does not follow that Brown will preach next Sun- | day. They have had legal advice, and | acting on ‘that they will apyly for a writ | of injunction on the ground that he is no longer a minister. When he joined the Bay Conference he surrendered to their keeping his ministerial standing. He has violated every ministerial obli- gation, and now the power which gave him an official existence suspends him until such time as he can purge his char- acter of the suspicions resting on it. Concerning tbis point Dr. Williams, one of the best-posted men on Congregational affairs on the coast, said yesterday: “Dr. Brown may, of course, go into secu- lar life if he chooses. but he shounld not at- tempt to preach, for he has no legal right. The Congregational Church has a legal as well as a spiritusl standing. In the spirit- ual fellowship the members are free with- in the bounds of morality. But on the legal side one church may interfere with another. “If the minority is too weak to make suc- cessful resistance the other churches can, if they wish, interfere and help in the name of Congregationalism. “Those who organized the First Church H.

The Three Speakers Who Stood Up Valiantly for the Honor of Stanford. though by some preconcerted arrange- ment, the enthusiastic noise was kept well under control until at the close of the de- bate. The debate was presided over by Dr. David Starr Jordan of Stanford. The speakers for the affirmative were Arthur M. Cathcart, John M. Ross and Henry D. Sheldon of Stanford University. Those on the negative were Josepb O’Connor, Francis Herbert Dean and Martin Charles Flaherty of the University of Caiifornia. Twenty minutes were allowed to each speaker and ten minutes for the affirma- tive to close.

Dr. Jordan, in a few introductory re- marks, said the object of the debate was not to definitely decide the question of the election of Senators, but to determine how well the young men could discuss the question laid down. The speakers were all generously ap- plauded by the appreciative andience. At the conclusion of the debate the judges, Hon. Joseph McKenna, Hon. W. W. Mor- row and Warren Olney, retired and in a | short time returned declaring the victory in favor of the boys from Berkeley. did so for the purpose of maintaining worship according to Congregational usages and regulations.

Dr. Ellls, Who Also Figured In an Investigation, Writes to the Press. OAKRLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, April 25. Rev. J. W. Ellis, D.D., pastor of the Centennial Presbyterian Church on Twen- ty-third avenue, issued the following let- ter to-day. Dr. Ellis was the central figure in an exciting church scandal investigated in San Francisco some years ago: To the Editor: Was Dr. Brown suspended from the fellowship of the Bay Conference by such process as can be sustained at the bar of justice, as held by the standard of a civilizea and christanized people? This 1s a serious proposition, freighted with far greater import to those who cast the vote than to the man who was removed from their fellowship. If Uzzah were smitten with in- stant death for touching the ark when forbid- den, what of those who fail to observe God's command, “Touch not mine anointed, do my prophets no harm."” What are the fucts? The council of twenty picked men were chosen to hear evidence and render a verdict for or against Dr. Brown, a man charged with immorality affecting his ministerial standing. One month was ex- hausted in almost daily sessions of the coun- cil, at the end of which the council unani. mously said, and signed the findings, and the charges were not proven. The same council, in said findings, expressed hope of greater inture usefulness for Dr. Brown than the past had yielded, knowing that Dr. Brown would continue to be the preacher and pastor of the same church and that he would be their fel- low member of the Bay Conference. Ata meeting of the Bay Conference thirty days later the standing committee on creden- tials reported upon the “findings” of the said council, leaving Dr. Brown’s ministerial stand- Martin Charles Flaherty. the interest of both the State and the party. | Tue district delegations will all meet for The Three Victorious Francis Herbert Dam.

All appeared to believe that that report would be the one subject for discussion and aciion by the Bay Conference at the adjourned meeting. When the body assembled and was ready for business an effort was made to con- sider the committee’s report, but instead thereof a member offered a resolution of sus- pension. The member offering the resolution sa1d he represented others by whom the reso- lution, with its whereases, was prepared. The discussion of the day brought out the fact that various private conferences had been held by members of the Bay Conference, the principals having been members of the said council, the climax 0f surprise coming when the moderator of the said council claimed the floor, with ex- tra time, s champion of the resolution of sus- pension, The friends of Dr. Brown claimed that they were surprised, and having no notice of such action were not prepared 0 contest the case there and then. “But the battle was on and the fight to a finish was a fixed event. The Bay Conference was composed of all the ministers of the Congregational body and two delegates from each church within a given district. Many aged divines were there, several beard- less “youths in the conference, and many women, delegates from the churches, eighty- one voters all told. The discussion, in the main, Was very unlike the sweet and_fragrant memory of the Pilgrim fathers. Dr.Brown and Dr. McLean made the two s‘fmeches of the day, and from opposite grounds. The result WS 49 0 32 for suspension. The inquiry before us is, Was that act of sus- pension inténded to deprive a man of his standing in this life and of a meaus of liveli- hood for himself and family, in accord with the law of civilization, with the law of the State of our adoption, and in harmony with the law and usage of other ecclesiastical courts? Beyond a doubt, it 1s not sustained by the great unwritten law of equal opportunity toall men. Judges on the bench, attorneys at the bar and Jurors in the box know that it is contrary to the municipal, State and National law, practice and usage. How was it in the case of Dr. Brown? He and his friends and the great outside Public understooa that the council was the ‘“final court” of appeal. It was so understood Wwhen testimony was being taken. So was it the final court to the accused, but not 80 to the accusers. Now comes the mystery which as- tounded the writer and scores of others Jucsent at the Bay Conference meeting. With but one or two exceptions the mem- Ders of the said council were hand in hand with Dr. Brown’s accusers, leaders in the Bay Conference, more nearly prosecutors. then and there constituted a court of appenl, plead the case andsat in judgment on the in- terpretation of their own findings. Not an hour’s notice of intention to suspend, not a scintilla of new evidence claimed or offered, and at & meeting. when :he committee’s report was pending action, a new, and to Dr. Brown &0 unexpected, resolution to snspend was made the issue, which. by the opposition to Dr. Brown, was confessedly prepared at private meetings and then forced by superior num- bers, suspending a brother from their fellow- ship until he disproves what all the accusers and council conld not prove.

Miss Zury Knox, the daughter of a prominent citizen of Yoakum County, Tex., was in St. Louis yesterday on her way to Chicago, where she will consult a surgeon who treated her last summer, and endeavor to have him remedy an unfor‘u- nate mistake he made in an operation at that time that has resulted in much pain and discomfort of a mental and physica character 1o the girl. Miss Knox is & most beautiful young lady. Her figure, as it is suggested by her neat blue gown, is almost perfect. Her complexion is a dream of white and pink, and her hair is as a tangleda knot of silken golden thread. She isa brilliant conversa- i t, a proficient musician, and an artist of no mean ability. But an injury she sustained when 7 years of age by being thrown from the back of a pony she was riding cast a black spell on her life that only her sunny nature has enabled her to witbstand. When she was thrown from the pony she alighted on the ground in such a way as to pull half of the uprer portion of her right ear entirely off and so lacerated the remainder that most of it was later cut away by a surgeon in Dallas. When the operation was completcd and the wound had healed she had only a small amount of the ear left, but she casily disguised the disfigurement by the way she dressed her hair. Up to a year ago she paid no par- ticular attention to it, as the hearing was not affected to any extent. Last April, while on a visit to Galveston with her mother, she met a young lady from Chicago, with whom she became quite intimate. The Chicagoan became aware of Miss Knox’s unfortunate condi- tion and at once enthusiastically advised that the Texas girl go to Chicago and con- sult a surgeon, who, she alleged, could re- place the missing ear by a graiting proe cess. Up to this time Miss Knox had not thought particulariy about accumulating anew ear, but the constant talk ef her Chicago friend made ier long for auricu- lar apparatus like other people wear. The upshot of it was that she went to Chicago in August, the operation was performed and she returned to her Texas home with an ear which, while it was not nearly so dainty and pinky as its mate, did well enough for a bluff. Shortly after she got home the new ear began to grow, and it has been growing ever since. About once & week the young lady is attacked with most acute painsin the recently acquired member, which she describes, as closely as she can diagnose the matter, as_similar to the “growing pains’”’ that affect boys and girls when they begin to lengthén out. The ear is growing every which way and does not seem to have any life in ir. To a Kepublic reporter who was allowed to view it last night it looked like a slice of dried apple about as large as John L. Sul- livan’s hands. Recently Miss Knox has been forced to adopt & new style of dress- ing her hair, whicfi requires her to comb the greater part of it down over the ear, giving her head a sort of iop-sided appear- ance. She does not know where the sur- geon got the ear or to whom it belonged before he grafted it onto her. All she knows about it is that it cost her a lot of money. She is going to Chicago to find out more about it. . Another peculiar feature about this ear is that she can hear sounds with it that are totally undistinguishable to other peo- ple. Seated at one end of the grand hall on the second floor of the station last night she could plainly hear a whisper uttered at the other end, despite the roar of traffic -on the street and the noise ascending from the midway below. It seems as though every sound that comes to this unfortunate right ear,” she said last night, “is maznified a thousand times. I continually hear a roar like that made by a thousand steamboat whistles. At home my room is carefully padded, and all openings are fixed with'a view to exclude souind,” and still I have to sleep with my right ear full of cotton, for the swish of a pony’s tail in the corral or a changein the cadence of my father's snore in the next room will awaken me, I have not slept since I left Texas, and I hardly think 1 will sieep again until I see the surgeon and eituer have my auricular monstrosity repaired or cutoff, I would ratherbe as I was before, with no ear at all, than as Tam now with ' this fan grow- ing out of the side of my face. You haye no ides of the worry it has caused me, I am afraid if I let it grow a year longer it will hang down on my shoulder so that I can hear people think,” ——————————— A Valuable Volume.

CRESCENDD BEATEN AGAIN Finished Behind Imp. Miss Brum- mel for a Cheap Purse Event. FOUR FAVORITES SUCCESSFUL. Rowena B Captured the Bitter Root Handicap—All Over Again in Frent. About the only happening outside of the every-day routine of business at the track yesterday was the defeat of Crescendo. The chestput pride of Naglee Burke's stable was one of three starters in a mile and a furlong purse event, for which the California Jockey Club hung up the mu- nificent sum of $350, of which amount the winning horse was entitied to $275—rather a small stake to race a horse once sup- posed to be the crack two-year-old of the country for. Opposed to Mr. Burke's horse were Imp. Miss Brummel, with eighty-four pounds up, and the “aluminum horse’” Logan. The bookies laid a little 2 to 5 against Crescendo which was soon rubbed to 7 te 20, the prevailing price throughout the betting. Plenty of 3 to 1 was obtainable against Miss Brum- mel, and a barrel of coin wonld not have | made the pencilers swipe the 8 to 1 chalked against Alex Shields’ old horse. The race turned out to be one of those “didn’t I tell you’’ affairs. Slaughter on the little mare was allowed to go out in front and set his own pace, and when Sni- der called on the favorite 1n the stretch, he found himself unable to get up aad was | beaten out cleverly by a length and a half | in 1:58){. Many blamed the favorite’s downfall to over-corfidence on the part of Snider, claiming that bad he set sail for the lead sooner the result would have | been reversed. The betting-ring did not present its usual apimated appearance, the customary Saturday crowd not being in attendance. The track was fetlock deep with mud, vet | four first choices gladdened the hearts— | and also the pockets--of their backers by getting to the wire first. The Bitter Root handicap, at five fur- longs for two-year-olds, was decided, and resulted in a victory for the Burns & | Waterhouse entry, Rowena B, who, | coupled with her stable companion, King Street, held sway in the betting at evens. Dunboy, an outsider, made a good show- ing at the outset, heading Rowena B to the bend for home, where he gave it up. The filly then assumed the lead and won ridden out, with the second choice, Fleur de Lis, taking the place a neck before King Street. In the seven-furlong handicap All Over, carrying 100 pounds, repeated his success of the previous day. Sent to the front an 11 to 10 choice, he trailed Ferrier and Sweet Favordale to the stretch, where Pigfintt made his ride, and gradually over- bauling the leaders, passed the wire a clever winner by onelength. In a hard | drive, the second choice, Ferrier, headed | Favordsle out for the place. Cabrillo’s | poor showing was mystifying. The balance of the events were very commonplace. Of the twelve selling- | platers that lined up in the opening five | and a half furlong selling scramble, Catch | ’Im, at b to 1, proved the speediest, win- ning at the wire by & length. In a drive Ricardo beat the even-money choice, Nic Nac, out a head for the piace. Trying to concede weight to as good a mud performer in the mud as Service, the three-year-old Walter J found out be had Litten off more than he could chew. The aged horse, carrying 119 pounds, was sent to the post an even-money favorite, with a stiff play on the younger horse at 7 to 5. The other three starters did not command much consideration. Walter J bolstered up the hopes of his supporters by heading the way to the far turn, when Shields sent the favorite to the front, and he won easily by three leggths. Fullerton Lass was a distant third, behind the sec- ond choice. | prettier.” The short-conrse steeplechase was a most one-sided affair. Carrying a ton of coin, with his odds_rubbed from 8 to 5 to 13 to 10, Colonel Weightman headed his field at the seventh jump, and won with ridiculous ease, pulled up to awalk. W. L. Munson, running in second position, fell taking the last jump. Tom Clark then finished second, with Ravine in the show. The last raceof the day was easily taken by the El Primero stable’s filly Summer- time, starting an 11 to 10 favorite. The mare came fast at the end and passed the judges two lengths before the 100 to 1 shot, Mt Roy, covering the five and a half fur- longs in 1:10}4. Traok and Paddock Items. Thirteen book-makers cut in at yester- day’s drawing. Owner Nick Hall still continues playing in hard luck. His horse, Elmer F, who started in the second race, was left at the post. Jockey ‘‘Stew’’ Peters vas evidently con- stituted by nature for a steeplechase rider, and there is little danger of him ever oc- cupying a cot in the hospital. When W. L. i[unson fell at the last hurdle “Stew” went under him, and, several of the field coming behind, tried the texture of the jockey’s anatomy. ‘‘Stew’ got up, felt of Lis head to see that no holes were puriched in it, twisted his knee joints back into shape, pulled down one leg, which seemed to be a trifle shorter than the other, and walked back to the paddock with a grin on his face. Cabrillo appears to be a hard horse to guess. He was beaten a ‘“‘city block’’ yes- terday in going that was supposed to be to his liking. Sk Shields continues riding in excellent form. He piloted the winners of the first two races. Tt looked very much as though Mount Roy was “shooed” in for the place in the last race. Opening at 30to1 he re- ceded in the betting to 100 to 1, when a smart play on him for place and show cut his price to 40. Mainstay 2nd Realiza- tion, both good mud horses, failed to geta mark. Realization won easily on Friday and on the strength of it his owners backed him yesterday. Mount Roy must cer- tainly be a greatly improved horse when he can finish 1 front of two such mud- larks as the pair named. Sweet Fayordale looked well up to a race and was well played, her odds being backed down from 8to1 to 21to5. She wasin- judiciously handled by Slaughter. OVERHEARD IN THE OAR. The Funeral Had Been Delicious and She Had Thoroughly Enjoved It. This was overheard in a North Clark street cable-car: “I was sorry I couldn’t go.” “You missed it, dear. It was a perfectly lovely funeral.” “Large crowd ?” “QOh, indeed, yes; and such swell people, too. I think I never did hear a better quartet. They had a new soprano who was simply heavenly.” A “I dare say the flowers were nice.” “Oh, they were perfectly magnificent. I told Clara that the flowers were ever so much finer than those at the Wilson funeral.” **Black casket, I suppose ?”’ “It was very dark and had the sweetest lining I ever saw. The body of it was pale pink satin, puifed, and then there were delicate roses, and they were all hand-painted. 1 never saw anything “Did you go to the cemetery?’’ “Yes; and do you know their lot was just one mass of green, and inside the grave they had a thick bed of evergreen coveringz the box. It was simply superb.” ““Well, iv’s just my luck,” said the one that had missed all the festivities. I didn’t know it was to be so swell.” “‘Well, it was. It was the prettiest fu- neral I've seen in yearsand I'm awfully glad I went.” And then they began to talk about the grand opera.—Chicago Record. ——————— E=A Greaf randmother and a Bride.
