Washington, Jan. 16. — The
democratic national convention
rill be held at the city of Chicago
on July 7. That was the decision
reached today by the national
democratic committee after an
interesting and at times exciting
session, which was continued until
11 tonight. There was considera-
ble difference of opinion as to the
time of holding the convention,
one proposition adr&nced by Allen
W. Thurman of Ohio, who had
the proxy of the New Mexico
member, beta^to hold it June 2,
two weeks before the republican
convention, and the other by
Hugh Wallace of Washington
state to hold it July 7. The com-
mittee decided upon the latter
date by a vote of 32 to 18.
The main interest, of course, cen-
tered in the choice of the con-
vention city. For this honor
there were four applicants
—Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati
and New York. Thirty minutes
were allowed each city to present
its claims. The speeches made by
distinguished citizens in each in-
stance were of a high order of ex-
cellence, and at times aroused the
greatest enthusiasm The ballot-
ing l>egan about 6 o'clock this
evening, and from the first a long
and bitter struggle was indicated.
The first ballot resulted: Chicago,
6; Cincinnati, 11; St. Louis, 19,
aud New York 14. There was
practically no change, except a
slight fluctuation of a vote or two
until the tenth ballot, when Chi
cago began to gradually increase
her vote at the expense of New
York. At the twentieth ballot
New York's strength was rapidly
disentegrating, her vote going
almost bodily to Chicago, but St.
Louis, which had tenaciously
clung to her 19 votes, also cap-
tured several of Cincinnati's votes,
and on the ballot before the last
led Chicago by one vote. On the
last ballot, the 29th, which was
taken shortly before 11 o'clock,
the fcur remaining votes of New
York were thrown to Chicago, and
she obtained the necessary plural-
ity. Senator Brice voted for Cin-
cinnati to the last.
An explanation of the votes by
states shows that St. Louis had
practically the solid support of the
free silver votes in the committee.
The detailed vote on the final
\1 ballot by states was:
* Chicago—Connecticut, Florida,
daho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa.

A Story of Itanftom.
The Washington Post tells a story il-
lustrating the politeness of Minister
Ransom. One day, when he was in the
senate, as bo was going down the cap-
itol steps, he saw approaching a very
doll, long winded man. Ransom was
alarmed. He was in no mental or phys-
ical shape to bear the brunt of a full
fledged bore just at that moment. He
must do something to save himself. As
the dull one drew near, Ransom, in his
desperation, greeted him with short-
ness aud harried by. The other had
paused, but at this brief dismissal, as it
were, turned away up the steps. Ran-
som was smitten of conscience at his
own rudeness. It was foreign to his po-
lite and flowery instincts. He must d«
something to take the soreness out of
tho man. Ransom turned pleasantly
when some ten steps separated him from
tho bore and called out: "Goodby,
Simpkins! I've been thinking a mighty
heap atiout you latolv, Simpkins!" At
this Simpkins begau to betray symp-
toms of returning. "Eat don't come
bark, Simpkins," remonstrated Ran-
som, wildly motioning with both hands.
"I've been thinking a mighty heap
about you lately, Simpkins, but don't
come back; don't come back!"
Conkling and Tlinrman.
Senator Roscoe Conkling was once
addressing t lie senato in an impassioned
manner and seemed to direct his re-
marks to Senator Thurman. At length
the latter got irritated.
"Does the senator from New York,"
he roared, "expect me to answer him
every time he turns to me?"
For a moment Mr. Conkling hesitat-
ed, and everybody expected a terrific ex-
plosion. Then with an air of exquisite
courtesy he replied:
"When I speak of the law, I turn to
the senator from Ohio as the Mussulman
turns toward Mecca. I turn to him as I
do to the English common law as the
world's most copious fountain of hu-
man jurisprudence."
The usually decorous senate broke in-
to a storm of applause, and the Thur-
man eye moistened a little. It is ever a
pleasure to be complimented, but to be
complimented as a lawyer by Roscoe
Conkling—that was praise indeed. The
two statesmen were the best of friends
and greatly enjoyed each other's society

The "Bad Man's" Sense of Humor.
A young man from way down east
had gone to Denver armed with an old
fashioned Allen revolver—"pepper box"
that weapon was called in those days.
In a gambling house one night he be-
came involved with a "bad man" in a
quarrel aud drew forth his "pepper
box. " Tho "bad man," who was really
a tough citizen from tho mountains, and
who had not the remotest idea of fear,
and who was always armed with a pair
of big navies, threw up his hand in well
feigned dismay and said:
"Heavens, man ! Yon ain't a-goin to
throw that at me, are you?"
For the sake of his joke he spared the
young man's life, and to that one of the
wealthiest and most respected citizens
of Denver now owes the fact that he is
di iuy business in the western metropolis.
Ho is a monument of that border
man's sense of humor.—Chicago Times-
Herald.
A Witty Judge.
The lato Lord Bowen, besides being a
great jud^e, was also a great wit, and
ninny interesting bonmots of his are be-
ing recalled jast now. On the occasion
of the queen's jubilee the judges wore
drawing up an address to the queen.
"Conscious as we are of our shortcom-
ings," ran the address. "Conscious as
wo are of one another's shortcomings,"
suggested Lord Bowen.
Sometimes his wit was very incisive,
as, for instance, when he remarked:
"Truth will out—even in an affidavit."
Not the least happy of his recorded wit-
ticisms was the remark he made when
congratulated on his appointment to be
a law lord. He would, he said, find the
work easy, his duty being to give his
opinion after so many others had given
theirs. "In fact, I only have to agree,
j and might well have been raised to the
peerage as 'Lord Concurry.' "
The wolf came to his hnmble door,
And growled both fierce and deep;
He felt his hair to slowly rise,
He felt his flesh to creep,
He opened the door—he grabbed
the beast
All bravely by the tail—
Next day the door bore this sign:
"A wolf skin here for sale."

During the dance season a girl
gets lots of exercise. If you make
a study of dancing, yon will figure
that an average waltz takes a girl
over three quarters of a mile on
the floor; a square dance is good
for half a mile, and a gallop equals
a run of one mile. Twenty such
dances is the average, you know;
that is, if th" girl is not a wall-
flower. Of the twenty, twelve are
waltzes, and yon have nine miles;
three are gallops, and that makes
twelve miles; five other dances at
a half mile, give you a total of
fifteen miles. That is not count-
ing strolls, promenades and other
trips. So you see that if a girl
attends a dance a week she gets
plenty of exercise.—Ex.

Frog Eu CnrioalMea.
Frogs' eggs are laid before they really
become eggs in the true sense of that
word. They are always laid under wa-
ter, and when first deposited are covered
with a sort of envelope in the shape of a
thiu membrane. In this shape they are
very small, but as soon as they como in
contact with the water they rapidly ab-
sorb that element, and in so doing go
through a queer transformation. The
thin membraue containing the little
seed like eggs is quickly changed into
great lumps of a clear jellylike sub-
stance, each section joined to the other,
the whole forming a string from a few
inches to several feet in length. On the
inside of each of these lumps of jelly
tho eggs come to perfection, and in due
course of time add their quota to the
frog population of the world.??—St. Louis
