SUGAR PLANTERS^CONVENTION.
They Go Over to the National Repub
lican Party in a Body.
New Orleans, Sept. 17.—The sugar
planters' convention to-day. at Washing
ton Artillery hall, was a large and very
enthusiastic assemblage. The hall, one
of the largest and most commodious in
the city, was crowded to the doors while
the session lasted, and there were present
not only the leading planters of Louisiana
but some of the most representative men
of New Orleans. The oolters from the
democracy had everything their own way
and resistance to the programme was but
feebly made. The convention went over
to the national Republican party in a
body.
Mr. E. N. Pugh called the meeting to
order. ex-Naval Officer Kernochan was
made temporary chairman, ana ex-Mayor
Behan permanent chairman of the organ
ization, all three of these gentlemen hav
ing been heretofore prominent democrats.
There was considerable speech-making, in
which prominent figures on thetoor took
part, and the, walls of the hall were
freely ornamented with placards bearing
mottoes of republican doctrines.
A representative tody was entrusted
with tberesoiutious. which were adopted
by an overwhelming vote of the conven
tion. The resolutions indorse the plat
form of the recent meeting in this city:
express belief in the doctrine of protec
tion to all American industries; declare
that the people had never asked congress
for a bounty, but that when the bounty
law was passed it was regarded as a
pledge for fifteen years, and caused the
mortgaging of plantations and
the expenditure of immense sums
of money in the purchase
of modern machinery and in making elab
orate improvements of the manufacture
of sugar; urge the organization of clubs,
committees and conventions throughout
tbe state with a view to electiug mem
bers of congress who will stand by the
national Republican party in the organ
ization of the house, and finally declaring
that the causes which have led to the
inauguration of this movement are
of a financial and industrial na
ture, and that the character and
standing of its leaders is a sufficient
guarantee that they will ever advocate
good government for the whole people of
this state. A resolution also demands
fair elections and an honest count, and
demands at the hands of Gov. Foster a
fair representation for the planters on all
boards of registration and election. The
president is directed to appoint a com
mittee of thirty-five with tbe lull powers
of the convention to be known as- the
state committee of tne National Republi
can party.”
THE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
The convention of sugar planters to
day adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved. That we believe in the protec
tion of all American industries to 'the end
that American labor and American enter
prise shall not be crushed out by the products
of the poorly paid labor of Europe, and the
coolie and pauper labor of the rest of the
world.
Resolved, That the people of Louisiana
never asked for a bounty on sugar. It was
granted by congress aaainst our protest, but
after it was enacted into a law, which de
clared that it should last until 198S\ we ac
cepted it as a solemn pledge of the govern
ment of the United States, which we diu not
believe any congress controlled by any party
would repudiate. In accordance with that be
lief, and relying upon the honor of our govern
ment, we expended enormous sums of money,
mortgaged our property for immense loans
In order to meet the expectation of the coun
try and increase the production oi sugar,
which, in point of fact, we have doubled in
three years under the McKinley act. That
indebtedness is still unpaid, and the
Wilson bill has made it Impossible
for us/ to meet our obligatio.is.
and bankruptcy stares us in the face. .Ye
declare that no honest government can afford
to break its faith with its own i eople or ruin
its own citiio is.
Resolved, that we enter our solemn pro
test against the continuance of the treaty
with Hawaii, by which, under the recen lv
enacted tariff, the producers of sugar of tliose
islands, with tho coolie laborers, will receive
a bounty from the sugar consumers of the
l mtea states of over SC.(iOO,(Xk) per annum.
Resolvcu, That we earnestly recommend
and urge the people of Uouisiana to otcauize
themselves into clubs, com nittees and con
ventions with the view of elect
ing members from each district to
the congress of the United States,
pi edged to stand by the national i.epublican
party in the organization of a House of Rep
resentatives and in the protection of Amer
ican industry.
Resolve! That we hereby declare the
caus-s which led to the inauguration of this
movement are of a financial and in
dustrial nature, and that the charac
ter and standing of its leaders
are sufficient guarantee that they will advo
cate good government to the whole people
of this state. We, therefore, demand a fair
election iind an honest; o.;nt, and the return
oi the vo tas cast, and we expert at the
hands or me chief exeout.ve of this state to
s e lo it that we have a fair representation on
all boards of registration and election.
Resolved, That the president of this com
mittee shall appoint a state committee of 31
members, who shall have the full powers of
this convention, and be known as the state
committee of the national republican party.

have \vrestled with this ennuyeux condi
tion with all the subterfuges of protrac
tion that the most ingenious invention
could suggest. They have a theater that
lasts for five hours, and then sends them
home dead, or at least deaf: but as men’s
lives are almost as limited as a cat's,
they’ can t stand it more than once a
week. They spread their meals over two
or three hours, and cooa them so ex
cellently’ that they are far from sur
feited ; but with the aid of the melon
seed, another ingenious discovery of
protraction, ian go on eating in the in
terval untrt the next meal comes round.
They have novels and pamphlets that
have been known to take six generations
from the conqueror downward to get
through; in these cases the family gen
erally dies out with the man who sees
where the title comes in. They have a
pipe that holds one whiff, and has to be
cleaned out and refilled for the next, and
instead of matches, a blotting-paper spill
which has to be scientifically blown for
two minutes before it inliames. They
have toaas crowded with every con
ceivable stumbling-block in the shape of
unlevel paving stones, holes and cuttings,
that go round instead of across every
field or grave they can by any conceivable
stretch of imagination touch, like the
canal at Kaotzu, that traverses a mile in
fifty direct yards, for fear the water
should run away too fast and disappear.
But the most brilliant and successful
device was the opium pipe. Any one can
go and swallow a handfui of the drug, or
drink off a bottle of its concoction, and
kill tbemsolves in five minutes; or you
can take it in pills and kill yourself in a
year. But here you have a means of
ruining the lining of your stomach and
your purse, of estranging ail your friends
and relations, and holding yourself up as
a blotch and abhorrence to the calm self-,
satisfied horizon of philanthropic beer
swiggers, and of providing a swollen
revenue to a hated foreigner and an in
capable government and yet drag along in
your misery and en.oyment with re
doubled energy for years and years aud
years! Little could that wag of a wander

such stupendous results when he hobbled

The Remedial Uses of Apples.
From Harper's Bazar.
In all temperate climates the apple
grows freely, and might be obtained in
practically unlimited quantities. That it
is not more used than it is is probably
due to the fact that, being so plentiful, it
is undervalued. Yet almost every one
likes the fruit in some fashion, and it
should form a part of at least two meals
out of every three during the year round;
for, even when the fresh fruit is not in
season, canned, dried, or evaporated ap
ples may always be bad.
"Chemically.” says a writer in the
North Ametican Practitioner, “the apple
is composed of vegetable fibre, albumen,
suear. gum, ehlorophyl, malic acid, gallic
acfd. lime, and water. Furthermore, the
German analysts say that the apple con
tains a larger percentage of phosphorous
than any other fruit or vegetable. The
phosphorous is admirably adapted for re
newing the essential nervous matter —
lecithin—of the brain and spinal cord. It
is perhaps for this reason—though but
rudely understood—that the old Scandi
navian traditions represent the apple as
tne food of the gods, who, when they felt
themselves to bo growing feeble aud in
firm, resorted to this fruit to renew their
powers of mind and body’.”
Not only the phosphorus, but the acids
of the apple are of singula:- use for per
sons of sedentary habits, whose livers are
apt to be too slow of action. These acids
aid the liver in its work of eliminating
from the body the noxious matters, which,
if retained, would make the brain heavy
and dull, or, in time, would cause rheu
matism, jaundice or skin eruptions and
other allied troubles.
The malic acid of apples, either raw or
cooked will neutralize any excess of
chalky matter engendered by eating too
much meat.
Kipe apples are probably the least fer
mentable of ail fruits, except possibly the
banana. For this reason ripe and sound
apples may be eaten b.v most persons in
even the hoi test weather; but even the
apple is safest when cooked.
W'e have the support of eminent medi
cal authority in saying that the most
healthful way to cook apples is to pare
and core them, and bake in a moderate
oveu. if the apple is of a quite sour va
riety it may bo necessary to add a little
sugar, putting about a saitspoonful in the
hollow whence the core was extracted. The
next best way to cook them is stewing.
Coo’i'.iry to common belief, apples baked
in their skins are the least healthful of
cooked apples.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 1, 1894.
ETTA PROVES TO BE A BOV.
He Says lie Was Bronciit Up by His
Paresis as a Girl.
Always Wore Girl’s Clothes and Fully
Convincsd He Was One -Loath to
Fart With the Garments He Wore as
Housemaid at Mrs. Skinner's—Awk
ward in His Garb.
From the New York Sun.
Mrs. Skinr.ec of 107 Hicks street.
Brooklyn, went to police headquarters on
Wednesday evening and told the sergeant
on duty that she had a girl in her em
ployment who threatened to commit
suicide, and that when she left her house
to come to headquarters the girl was
running around with a big bovvie knife
in her hand. Mrs. Skinner was too ex
cited to tell anything more, and before
any one could stop her to ask more ques
tions she had gone away, so there was
nothing to do but to send down to 107
Hicks street as soon as possible. A police
man was despatched on the case at once.
When he arrived at Mrs. Skinner's
everything was quiet. He rang the iloor
bell, and it was opened by what appeared
to be a tali, muscular-looking girl, who
was evidently a servant in the house.
She was very shy and appeared to be
frightened very much by the policeman's
uniform, The policeman asked for Mrs.
Skinner, and the girl, without saying a
word to him. ran upstairs and left the
officer standing in the hall. In a few
minutes Mrs. Skinner came down and
toid the policeman that the girl who had
let him in was the one who had threat
ened suicide. Then Mrs. Skinner called
up the stairs in a loud voice for Etta.
The door opener came down in a bashful,
timid way. and when she had neared the
spot where the policeman stood, Mrs.
Skinner said in a loud voice:
“Yes, this is the girl who wants to die,
officer.”
“Oh, no. I don't, Mr. Policeman,” cried
Etta in a frightened voice, and she im
mediately began weeping. Mrs. Skinner
insisted that she did. ana called up her
colored cook to sustain her. The cook
said that Etta had been threatening
suicide for the last two weeks or more,
and that time and again she would pull
out the big bowie kuife she al
ways carried and drew it across
her neck. The policeman began ques
tioning Etta about this, but the girl
refused to answer and became hysterical.
He could see the handle of the knife stick
ing from her dress pocket, and, as he
thought, she looked like a woman who
might kill herself, he dicided to take her
around to the station house. He told her
to go up stairs and get on her things.
While she was i.d stairs Mrs. Skinner
told the policeman what she knew about
Etta. She said:
"Etta came to me about amontlrago
and asked for work of any kind. As I
needed a strong girl to do general work
around the house just then, Etta was en
gaged at a salary of $8 a mouth, with
hoard and lodging. As there was no
vacant room in the house just then, Etta
was told she had to sleep with the colored
cook. She made no objection to this, and
has been sleeping there ever since. She
is the best worker 1 have ever had. She
never went out at night, aud I have never
seen such a modest girl in all my life.
At the same time, she's so queer some
times that I am afraid to keep her.”
At this point Etta reappeared, decked
out in street costume. She was composed
and walked quietly alongside of the po
liceman. When the station house was
reached she described herself as Etta
Graemes, 10 years old. When asked if
she had any other home besides Mrs.
Skinner’s house, she said 9he hadn’t. As
site was too young to be locked up in the
station house, the sergeant decided to
send her to the Society tor the Prevention
of Eruelty r to Children, on Sehermerhorn
street. While being led over to the so
ciety’s headquarters she became hyster
ical again. When she was ushered into
Supt. Wilkin's office Mr. Wilkins spoke
kindly to her, and she seemed to be at
ease in his presence.
It is the rule in the society to get as
much of the past history of any one
brought to it as possible. By adroit ques
tioning the superintendent drew from
Etta what she gave as the story of her
life. It was a sad oue. and as she told it
tears frequently came to her eyes.
“I was born in a little town in Germany
near Berlin,” she said. “I never had any
brothers, but I had one sister. Mamma
and papa and we two girls lived nicely to
gether, but about four years ago papa
said he could make a fortune in America.
So we caine to this country and went to
live in Williamburgh. I used to sing in
Father Hauptmann’s church. You know
I lived on Montrose avenue, near the
church, and I used to have a good time. I
was happy then. It was las: summer
when my father fell from a scaffold and
was killed. Then, just a week after that,
mother took a dose of poison and it killed
her. Sister and I had a hard time to
gether. but we loved each other, and wo
got along pretty well. All winter we
were together aud began to cheer up from
mamma's anu papa’s death. Then this
spring sister’s health began to get bad,
so, as we had saved a little money to
gether. we went up to the Catskills. W'e
spent all our money up there, and could
not get home, so we had to go to work.
Sister got a place in Catskill village,
while I got a place at the O’Hara house
in Hunter Everything was going along
smoothly until about five weeks ago.
Then sinter poisoned herself, and I came
back here to Brooklyn.
“I did not have any place to go to, so I
was wandering around the streets when I
happened to run across a girl 1 used to
know when I lived on Montrose avenue.
Her name is Clara. I can’t remember her
orher name. Well, Clara and myself got
talking together, and I told her I only had
a few dollars to my name, and that when
they were gone 1 would have nothing to
live on. Clara pulled me aside and began
to tell me what a fine plan it would be for
us to go and dress up in men’s clothing
and how we could make iM and a
week. I did not care what I did, so we
went around to a pawnbroker's shop on
Graham avenue aud bought boys’ clothes.
We threw away our dresses after putting
them on. and went down in front of the
bridge to sell newspapers and try and get
a job on the bridge cars. I got tired of
this and went walking aroimd the streets
in ra.v men’s clothes, asking every one tor
a job.
“At last I went to 124 Hicks street,
which is a big boarding house, and they
hired me thereas a waiter, and my namo
was to he Henry, lor the first two or
three days no one seemed to think ] was
a girl, but then one day I did some iron
ing for the cook and she stood by and
watched me Then she said that no boy
could do ironing like that, and that she
did not believe 1 was a boy, because I baa
acted queer every since 1 came there. Khe
said 1 didn’t act or walk like one, and
that, although I bad my hair cut short, it
looked like a girl's. They began to tease
me about my clothing, sol was only too
happy to get back in to dresses. 1 did not
stay there long, though. One morning I
left and went down the street to Mrs.
Skinner s. I had a nice place there, and
l want to go back. I don’t want to kill
myscif."
After this long story was finished it
was getting late, so Supt. Wilkin called
fora matron, and in her charge Etta was
taken up stairs She appeared so bash
ful that, after taking her in the bathroom,
the matron left her alone. When sue
came from the bath she was assigned to a
small room. Tin; matron was around
to see her several times during tbe night,
but Etta did not awake, is the morning
after breakfast some sewing was given
her to do. Pulling her chair away from
the other girls she started to sew. Sud
denly she began to cry and became hvs
tcrical. .lust a* this point Mr. Wilkin
sent word to the matron to bring I tta
Qown to him. Tbe matron sent word
back that Etta was hysterical, and
could not come downstairs. On reviv
ing this news, Mr. Wilkin beeame uueasv
about the girl. He went up stairs to the
room where she sat weeping. Several
nurses were running around trying to
soothe her. but to no puqiose Mr. Wil
kin tried his hand, but he could do noth
ing. Half an hour elapsed and Etta con
tinued to cry. So Mr. Wilkin became
alarmed and sent for the society physi
cian, Dr. Walker. When the doctorcamo
he went at once to Etta and tried the or
dinary methods of slopping hysterics,
but they would not work. He then sent
every one out of the room and adminis
tered a strong opiate to his patient.
About a quarter of an hour after that,
when Dr. Walker appeared in his office,
Mr. Wilkin asked:
“What's the matter with that girl Etta,
doctor;”
“Etta! Who said his name was Etta’
Why, Wilkin, old man. do you mean to
tell me that you believed that that strong
boy I just came down from is a girl ’” and
the do. tor laughed heartily.
“V.’hat's that you say? ” shouted Mr.
Wilkin, jumping from his , hair aud rush
ing over to where the doctor stood. “Not
a girl?”
“That is just what I mean," said the
doctor.
Mr. Wilkin sat down in a chair in a
dazed sort of way, and portions of the
story told to him the night before came
to his mind. He was inclined to be skep
tical at first, but it was conclusively
proved to him that Etta was not a girl,
but a boy.
“Well, I'll be busted!” and Mr. Wil
kin hit the bell on his desk with no gen
tle touch. When a boy came in in an
swer to the bell Mr. Wilkin ordered him
to go up stairs and get that girl, or boy.
Etta, and bring her down, or him down,
at once. In a few moments Etta came
down
"Look here, young lady, you are a
man,” Mr. Wilkin said.
Etta looked dumbfounded. “Me a
man 1” she said.
"Come over here and sit down, Etta,"
said Mr. Wilkin, “I want to talk to you.”
Then he began gently to question the
boy. It took him about ten minutes to
find out that Etta, or rather Henr.y, was
laboring under the uelusion that he was
a girl. His parents, he said, had brought
him up as a girl, giving him only girl's
clothes to wear, and that he was fully
convinced that he was a girl. It nearly
took the breath out of Mr Wilkin when
he made this discovery. When Mr. Wil
kin told Henry’ that he would have
to put on the proper clothes for a boy
Henry looked up with astonishment. He
thought he had the proper kind on. When
a complete outfit of boys’ clothing was
brought Henr.v parted with his girls’
clothes with reluctance. After he wasall
dressed Mr. Wilkin found that he had
still retained several pieces of girls’ under
ware. Henry’ was extremely awkward in
his new clothing and appeared ill at ease.
Mr. Wilkin says that this case is the
most peculiar that has ever coine under
his notice. It is his opinion that the boy
is an imbecile. But that he could go
through life up to his sixteenth year la
boring under such a delusion Mr. Wilkin
cannot explain. Henry was taken in
charge by Mr. Campbell of the Truants'
Home, but will be kept by Mr. Campbell
until physicians pass upon his mental con
dition,
EXECUTED WITH BULLETS.
Enoch Davis, a Wife Murderer, Shot to
Death in Utah.
From the New York Times.
Lehi Junction, Utah, Sept. 14.—Enocn
Davis, the wife murderer, died at 10:45
this morning with six rifle bullets in his
breast. About thirty offiuers iiudsrei ort
ers were present at the execution, but no
minister. At 10:40 he was placed in a
chair with a plank at his back.
The penitentiary doctor pinned a pre
scription blank with a black mark over
the heart. Davis was given liquor and
strapped down. He protested, as he said
he wanted the sharpshooters out in plain
sight, instead of in the tent as they were,
■find he said he did not want to die “like
an Indian.”
When all was ready’ the marshal cried:
“Make ready, take aim, fire!” Six shots
were fired, and Davis moved slightly and
gasped faintly. The doctor said it was
only a contraction of the muscles. Death
was practically instantaneous. Four bul
lets pierced the paper, two at the side,
and one ball pierced the black mark.
Injured by a Tombstone.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Alliance. Sept. 34.—Mrs. Susan John
son, an aged woman residing near Home
worth, was fatally injured in an old cem
etery near the village in a peculiar acci
dent. In company with several other
ladies she was trimming up the sAirface
on a grave of one of her relatives, when a
large tombstone on a nearby grave, from
under which the dirt had been washed by
a recent rain, toppled over upon her, pin
ning her to the ground.
Her friends tried to lift the heavy gran
ite, hut it was too much for their
strength, and one of the party’ hastened
to the village for help and a physic-tap.
When assistance arrived she was uncon
scious, and the doctors say to-tnght she
will die.
