PARKER TO BE NOTIFIED.
August 10th, Fixed as Dates foe
Ceremonies.
E-iopus, N. YJuly 20.-Judge
Parke, ha. fixed Aug. 10 as the
date for the ceremonies
‘
him of his nomination by the
Democratic National Convention
«5 a candidate for the preside.icy.
J„.I S » I'arker reached Ida de-
ns..... concerning the date ,n „
Jon* Qoiisnltation with Meg,’am
t. Sheehan and a
at once sent Champ Clark
Miaanun, chairman <,f the
ndttee named by the Democrat ic
Convention to notify the mmiru ;<•
for President.
Iteprc.eermitive Clark is expect¬
ed hi ‘Call a meeting of his com¬
mittee, probably to be held it:
New York, and he may also come
to Rosemount to talk over the
arrangements with Judge Parker
although no plan for such a con¬
ference has yet been made.
The notification ceremonies at
Rosemount on Aug. 10 will follow
precedents laid down for similar
events. It is known that Judge
Parker is particularly impressed
with tire simplicity cf the cere¬
monies which U*nk place on the
occasion of President Lincoln’s
second nomination and also when
Judge Thurman v as informed of
his nomination for Vice President.
The speeches both times were
marked because of their brevity.
When President Cleveland was
notified in 1888 he made a long
speech and the ceremonies were
far more formal than any other
which have been brought to the
attention of those who are arran¬
ging details of the Rosemount
ceremonies.
It is the plan now at Rose-
mount to have the notification
follow closely the form of the
earlier ceremonies. It is not ex¬
pected that Judge Parker will
talk at length, nor that, ho will
discuss intimately any of the
campaign issues, but will leave
this to the letter of acceptance,
which will bo issued a week or
later.

Tobacco Causes Cancer
IhomasJ. Maguire, treasurer
of a theater here and widely j

friends, in preparation for a sur-

years he smoked twenty-five or
more cigars daily and this, it is
supposed, started a cancerous

Some days ago a daughter of
Mr. Snipes received an insulting
letter, which young Tindall iie-
know ledger] to the father of the
g' 1 '! he wrote. A ft nr of words
and the matter dropped.
Sunday morning at 8 o’clock a
bullet was fired through the bed-
room window of Mr. arid Mrs.
Snipes. The hall entered the
breast of Mrs. Snipes near the
h )ait. The second shot w.-nt
wide of the mark. The shot was
evidently intended for Snipes.
Upon retiring Snipes lay down
on edge nearest window. During
the night, Mrs. Snipes was up
with a child and when she retired
a second time she took front side
of the bed and therefore received
the bullet intended for Snipes.
The sheriff was sent for. He
secured dogs and run the tracks
from the Snipes promises to the
Tindall house, the lmme of the
Tindall hoys.
The affair has created great ex¬
citement in the usual quiet and
law-abiding community of Meigs.
Mrs. Snipes, it is thought, cannot
recover.
The Rarest Plant in the World.
In speaking of remarkable
shrubs we must not forget gor-
donia, which at one time was
probably the rarest wild plant
in the world, there being hut one
specimen in existence. Last au-
fumn, while visiting the Bartram
near Philadelphia, I inquired
about this shrub, which had been
planted there, after its discovery
in 1790. I learned that this
original gordoiua had died not
long ago, but it is pleasing to
know that it has hundreds of de-
scattered o\er ihe
country. Unless this specimen
was a hybrid it must have been
the last of its race, and in either
it was discovered only just
in time to preve nt its total ex-

College, announced last night
that the government officials had
consented to the landing of Miss

A Classic Masterpiece.
There is a well curb by Mi-
chael Angelo at the Cerlosa
astery, near Florence, which liar-
monizes in a marked degree the
purely beautiful and the purely
utilitarian, says the Metropoli-
tan Magazine. To view it one
must make a pilgrimage out from
the city to the summit of one of
those encircling hills.
The road winds up through
slopes crov ned with the gray of
the olive trees, and alive with
the hushed whispering of the
cypresses, while below, transfixed
in stone and marble and dim, rich
canvasses lies Florence, the city
which flowered into Mich
bloom almost in a century
her vitality seems forever ex¬
hausted.
Com on Bennett’s Yacht.
When J ames Gordon Bennett’s
yacht arrived from Europe recently,
the persons who went aboard
astonished to see two cows.
“What in the world does Mr.
nett have coirs on his yacht
one of the visitors inquired.
“He does not like
milk,” replied one of the officers,
“so he carries his milk supply with
him when he goes to sea. When
he reaches port the cows are taken
ashore and put out to grass. When
we sail we carry enough fodder to
supply the cows for a long voyage.
The cows are of the finest grade and
give an abundance of milk.”
Flogging in England’s Navy.
in Learning that boys up to eighteen
the British navy are still sub-
jected to flogging, a committee of
the Humanitarian league has re¬
quested that the admiralty give it
permission to take photographs of
the punishment, stating that it in¬
tends to placard the walls of Lon¬
don and the chief seaport towns
with the pictures to enlighten the
public on the subject.

the fruit of tl/is union. She is
now Mrs. M. L. La wings, of VOon-
cord. One d ry in August, i860,
Groft left home on horseback and
did not return. His wife sent
searching parties in all directions.
It was finally discovered that he
sold the animal and bought a
ticket to ttie west. A few venr a
later Iris wife, sure that he was
dead, married Lee, a prosperous
young farmer. Groft went to
Illinois and married there and
has children and grandchildren.
No divorce was ever asked for by
either side and none was ever
granted,
Groft makes no explanation of
his flight or his sudden return.
Groft met his former wife a few
hours after his arrival at Con-
cord. The meeting was a start¬
ling one to both, but was very
cordial. It isn»t known whether
he will go to her or not, or whether
her present husband will invite
him, the situation being really a
very trying one. Not one word
had been heard from Groft by
his wife or any of his people
during the thirty-eight y ears- of
his absence. Ho went to see his
daughter, whom he had deserted
in her babyhood, and found her
with her husband and a large
family of children.
