Sea Lion Hunters Prepared to Raid the Big Rookeries. About the latter part of .this hing week the deputies of the Fish Commission will make a rald upon the rookeries of the sea lions of the Farallon Islands. This squad will be headed by Al Wilson, the veteran rifle shot and expert fisher. The party will be gone about two weeks ac- cording to present calculations, As it will be necessary under the conditions im- posed by the Government officials to see done at the sea lions swimming in the water. It is believed that by making an attack upon the herd at this time of the the chances of destroying many will be greater than at any other time. As soon as the Wilson party starts for the islands, another party under the di- rection of Captain Scott will start for the rookerfes at Ano Nuevo down the coast, where the seals find ‘excellent breeding The captain is an old €eal hun- ter and the commission believes he will assist greatly in thinning out the herd at that point. He will accompanied by a couple of sallors who will assist.in removing the dead animals from the shore and Kelp, the same regulations ap- plying to that of the lighthouse reserva- tion as to the Farallon Islands.

HOME duties to many women seem more important than health. No matter how ill they feel, they drag themselves through the daily tasks and pile up trouble. This is heroic but a penalty has to be paid. A woman in New Matamoras, Ohio, Mrs. ISABELL BRADFIELD, tells in the following letter how she fought with disease of the feminine organs until finally forced to take to her bed. She says: s **DEAR Mrs. PinkHAM—TI feel it my duty to write to you to tell you that I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound and think there is no medicine in the world like it. I suffered for nine years, and sometimes for twelve weeks at a time I could not stand on my feet. I had female troubles of 7 A all kinds; backache, and headache all the time. Seven different doctors treated me. Some said I would have to go to the hospital and have an operation performed. But oh! how thankful I am that I did not, that I tried your Vegetable Com- pound instead. I cannot say too much in its praise, nor thank you enough for what it has done for me. I want you WOMAN’S DEVOTION TO HOME to publish this in all the papers the good for of other sufferers. The wives and mothers of America are given to over- work.

The Democratic situation is in a state of expectant suspense, and only the meeting will throw light on the matters the wise ones are debating. But even with all this it is denied that the meeting will be of any importance. It will be for the purpose of apportioning | delegates, is the answer to all who may | ask why, but it is from this very question | ates that the situation takes its | keenest interest. | The first real move in local affairs Dem- | inite ocratic has come from the State Central Committee. The committee, in ferring to delegates to municipal conventions, and perhaps to the work of the commit- | tee of one hundred a year ago, advis that delegates be apportioned to the pre: cincts, one to each, or three to each vot- | ing precinct. It was at first the idea of | the committee of one hundred to allow | the faithful to vote a blanket ticket that | would lighten their labors at the primar. polls and materially assist the aris- | tocratic ration to have things | its own way, as heretofore. But all that | was a year ago. The faithful have been to school since then, and they have been | to the hardest school of all—the school | of experience. The State Central Com- | mittee saw it first, and the adi committee of one hundred w The party will not stand such as it got a vear ago, committee of one hundred was a yleld a point and forego the blanket | ficket in favor of precinct representation. Precinct representation goes, therefore, not because the State Central Committee asked it, it is carefully explained, but be- another cause it “would be better so. Precinct representation goes, but there is nothing to define the term representation, and may not a precinct be represented by a reighboring purist as well as one to the | manor .born? A good worker for the elite who can move and establish a residence, as well as a good worker for the ran and file who lives in his own home and objects to a change? Besides it is de- clared, “The State Central Committee cannot dictate to the committee of one hundred. It ma dvise, but no one i bound by that advice. It may susgest, | but the suggestion need only be received | politely. : Under the new primary law there is no v set forth in which the delegates must be “apportioned. It is required that the manner of apportioning the delegates must be described, but that is all. The sudden willingness of the kidgloved to allow precinct representation is therefore not based on any demand of the law.| Within a month and with equal legality it was decided to submit a blanket tic to the enthusiastic, but as the enthu asm has become somewhat dimmed the | urpose of the aristocracy has become | Ernader until it now is announced that | t every precinct will have a representative. “Will he live in the precinct?’ is the nat- ural question, and the answer | I sup- ose he will”; but beyond this suppo fon there is a' world of uncertainty. Under the law the delegates may be apportioned to the various precincts at a certain ratio, but the delegates may still be at large. They may number up to a total that will give each precinct at least one, and perhaps more, but there is noth- ing to prevent every one of these dele- gates from coming from the same pre- cinct if the apportioning power only has the nerve to call them from so small a section.
