ASHE- THE POPE AND THE FAIR. Permanent Chairman and Secre taries Elected -Delegates to.the State, Congressional and Judi cial Convention The Buncombe county republican con vention, for the purpose of selecting del egates to the state, congressional and judicial republican conventions, met in the court house in this city today at 1 o'clock, being called to order by Col. V. S. Lusk, county chairman. Col. Lusk was elected chairman and P. A. Cum- mings and R. B. Roberts secretaries. On motion of W. H. Deaver, republi cans from townships not represented by regular delegates were allowed to act as delegates. On motion of I. P. YVmgate the chair appointed a committee composed ol ont delegate from each precinct represented, tot select the delegates to the state, congressional and judicial conventions. While the committee was consulting eter C. Pritchard rose in response to loud calls and made the convention a red hot speech. It was red hot because Pritchard stood near a red hot stove. He said the prospects for republican suc cess were brighter this year than ever before. (Republican orators always say that.) He also said that last year the republican party was on the defen sive on account of the McKinley bill This year, however, the democratic party was on the defensive. Mr. Pritclv ard then swung 'round the circle from the McKinley bill, by which the people can now buy tin cups cheaper than ever before to Mayor Blanton's trip to New York, touching, on the way. unon Josephus Daniels' contract for the (t .te printing. All the republicans had to do was organize and the buttle would be won sure.

His Holiness Applauds America's Efforts lo Honor Columbus. Rome, March 16. Mr. Thomas B. Bryan, special commissioner to Italy for the Chicago World's Fair, has received the following letter from his Holiness Pope Leo XIII.: "Greetings: While we see on all sides the preparations that are eagerly being made for the celebration of the Colum bian centenary, feasts in memory of a man most illustrious and deserving of hristianitv and all cultured humanity, we hear with the greatest pleasure that the United States have, among other na- lions.enteredthiscompetitionot praise in such a manner as bents both the vast ness and richness ot the country and the memory ol the man so great as he whom these honors are being shown. Nothing, certainly, could be mere splendid than hat is told us of the grand and magnn- cent exposition which the nation will hold at Chicago, bringing togetner every kind of produce and work which fruit ful r ature bears and the artful industry of man creates. i lie success of this effort will surely be another proof of the reat spirit and ac tive energy of the people who undertake enormous and difficult tasks with such great and happv daring. We rejoice, moreover, in the nobiutv ot tne purpose, which is equal in greatness to the uuder- inkinu itself. It is a testimony ol honir and eratitude to that immutai man oi whom we have spoken, who.desirious ol findine a road bv which the light and truth and all the adornments of civil cul- cure miirht be carried to the most dis tant parts ol the world, could neitner oe deterred by dangers nor wearied by la bors, until, having in a certain manner renewed the bond between two parts of the human race so long separated, lie In-stowed upon both such benefits that he in justice may DC said 10 nave u-w equals or a superior. "While, therefore, we bestow on tin citizens ol the great republic well-merited praise, we express the lervent nope mat their noble undertaking nviy, other na turns unitiiiL' with them and lending aid have a most prosperous issue that will prove of great use in stimulating the in genuity of man in promoting the (level- mment ol nature and encouraging uu the fine arts.

An institute for the proper treatment of cases of these classes, has been opened in Columbia, S. C, J. W. Cortland being the manager of the institute, and Dr. F. M. Bennett, M. D., of Virginia, a grad uate of the medical college of Virgin ia and Harvad university, the medical director. Dr. Bennett was on the regular staff of the institute at Dwight, 111., and has had familiar ex perience with the treatment, and was sent direct to the Columbia institute by orders from Dr. Keeley. At the institute all patients are under tne personal supervision oi tne mcuicai director, who devotes his entire time to this special department of medicine. The time for the cure of the liquor habit is Irora three to four weeks. A pe culiarity of the treatment is that the patient is given all the liquor he calls for until he ceases its use ot his owu volition, which it ordinarily from two ,'.o four davs after commencing treatment. Patients are under no restrictions, the Keeley system not requiring it. They go te boarding houses and hotels, and report at the institute four times daily tor treatment.

Last night she was towed into the harbor. Certainly if unbounded popular en thusiasm is proof of appreciation the of ficers and crew of the Indiana will carry from this country a lively recollection of the eratitude ot the Russian people.

POISONED BV THE BROTHER. AT THE LUMBERMAN'S CAMP. who has been married for twenty years to a superior woman. Dear reader, were you ever married to one of those a woman who was your superior in every way and kept the fact at the head of the column uext to pure reading matter? This reminds me somehow of Mr. Wilde. If 1 could have seen Willie in time I would have told him never to marry a superior woman, even though she should "throw open to him the door to every avenue of literary success, as his wife did. 1 knew a man once who married a superior woman and he died in a madhouse, and the visitor is still shown the marks on his little iron bed stead where he bit it while thinking of his past life. The falls of Niagara are grand and beautiful, besides having a worldwide reputation; so are the Brooklyn bridge and the national debt, but I would not care, even if footloose (which 1 am not), to marry either one of them.

A Crystallzed Quartz Which can- tains a Drop of Water. Yesterday The Citizen contained an item about a curiosity in the office of the geological survey in Washington, in the shape of a mineral which was filled with water. It is learned today that probably as interesting a curiosity can be seen in Asheville. It is the property ot Alexan der, the jeweler, 35 South Main street. The curiosity referred to is a piece 01 crvstalized auartz nearly as large as euinea esrg. in which can be plainly seen a drop ot water, w men moves irom one side to the other as the quartz is turned. The cunositv was lett with Mr, Alexan der about nine months ago as surety for the payment of a small bill. Mr. Alex ander has had several offers for the quartz hut will not part witb it.
