I ?avs the San Francisco Chronicle: California is not at nil proud of being called au earthquake country, nor do we all eujsy the sensations which ;i tem blor produces, however slight it may be; but vhen it come3 to a comparison be tween the actual damage done by earth quakes and that wrought so frequently bv cyclones and tornadoes in the West, vre can at least put m si plea in mitiga tion of damages on behalf of the earth, jake. " The Government of the Swiss Tyrol has passed a bill imposing heavy fines on per sons who may ba caught while selling pimples of the beautiful and rare Alpine dower called edelweiss, which has been, palled up by the roots on the mountains to such an extent that there is danger of ,".he plant becoming extinct. The peoplC complain that tourists are rapidly killing oat that and other Alpine plants, and persons, bent on money-making hate .helped on the destruction by gathering ?heplauts for travelers. The Detroit Fres Jfress grows sarcas lie at the expense of England. It says: 'Munificent a3 have been the donations cf this country to the starving Russians Americans are not tho only people whose Jnesrts are touched by a tale of woe. There has been a terrible amouut of suf fering in Newfoundland, owing to the nhort catch of fish, which is the main .food reliance of the people. The British Government has, however, come most .nobly to the rescue of the suffering ones and shipped them sixty barrels of flour. If there are not too mauy of the suffer ers thLs timely boon will relieve them for twenty-four hours at least." ' , If the history of the "Conscience Fund" could be written in full, ob serves the New York Tribune, a pathetic wad interesting chapter would be sup. plied by the experience of the man who tent $1000 to Postmaster -General Wana maker the other day, with a note saying that it was the balance of interest dua on the sum which he took from the Government in 1S65. The writer stated rthat he nad paid in all $17,500, and aided : "No mm has suffered more for his crime than I have, and I now pray ttho Lord's forgiveness for my sin." In the hands of a master, like Hawthorne, how effectively such an incident could be treated ! The Canadian census takers had trou ble with their Indians. The Indians are described as being, not unnaturally, vary curious to know what tho census was for. At one place they would demand to be paid for giving their names, and at an other the enumerator had to bribe them with tobacco before they would tell the names of children and others who were tout hunting or berrying in the woods. At a village of Howqual-gato Indians, where a white man had seldom been seen, the whole population surrounded the party demanding explanations. The chief said the priest had told him that the Lord had raised them out of the clay and giveu them the land, and he supposed that the Government was now trying to find out their numbers so as to lo away with them and get their land. Only after an hour's hard talking through the Indian interpreters the chief was per suade! that nothing but good was in tended. "William Ilosea Ballou, of New York, recently addressed a letter to President Harrison, in which he said: "When I called upon you last summer in Wash ington in reference to the cruelty to ani mals at sea, you informed me that if I would begin at the bottom aud carry the matter up to you through the proper (.hatiucls.you would act thereon officially. I beg to say that the subject is now be fore the SUtc Department, and I trust vou will keep your promise. The oppor tunity is ripe for a raat and humane ac tion by joint arraugement between the several miritime Nations, by which pun ishment may be had for acts of flagrant cruelty on high seas." This communica tion was regularly referred to the de partment of State, and Secretary Blaine wrote to Mr. Ballou as follows- "Your leiter of the 20th iust. to the Presideut, relative to the importance of providing ia some way against the alleged cruelty to animals while being transported by pea, is received. In pursuance to his re quest I have to state thaf- while it is not eeen that effective action can be taken under existing law, the importance of the subject is recognized, as i3 the ad vantage of some decisive action in re gard thereto; and it is suggested that with your familiarity with the facts and that of others who have especially inter ested themselves in the subject, the mat ter might be presented by you to the consideration of Congress." Secretary Rusk states that since the agitation be gau tea months ago, the Department of Agriculture has reduced the amount of deaths to American cattle at sea from sixteen per cent, to one per cent, on $25,000,000 worth exported annually, a saving of $3,750,000 worth of cattle aa-dually. IT IS CLEVELAND. Nominated on the First Ballot, The Closing Scenes of the Convention Stirring Drenched Oratory and a Plat form Baptized-WIUon Presides Splen didly Over the Convention The Galler ies Tumultuous-Speeches or Abbett Duncomb. DeWItt and Other. DEMOCRATIC WlGWAlt, Chicako, Ill.,.Tune22. The New York delegation was clinging thi3 morning lo a last desperate hopo of defeating the nomination of Grover 'Cleveland. They were seeking to unite the opposition to bim on some new candidate, and the came most frequently heard in connec tion with the possibility of a new combi nation was that of Genera! Henry "W. Slocum, of New York, Gorman, the New Yorkers would have nothing to do With. The New York delegates are vcr)' in dignant with the Maryland Senator, whom they charge with having broken their combination against Cievelaud two days ago, after encouraging them to be lieve that he would stand by them. They talked freely about Mr. Uormau, and told some of the inside history of the Gorman Movement cf J Sunday and its relation to the Hill movement. Mr. Gor man and Mr. Brice. they said, encourag ed the Hill loaders in New York State to call tbe inid-winter convention. Mr. Gorman promised that the Maryland con vention should be held soon after the convention at Albany. It was part of the policy of the hti-Clevelaud people to weaken the strength of Cleveland through the country by having his State instruct for Hill, and by following this with un anti-Cleveland convention in Maryland, which has always been a Cleveland stronghold. Mr. Gorman, the Hill men say, broke faith in this and did not have the Maryland convention called until almost every other convention in the country had been held. Two Weeks ago Mr. Gorman met Senator Hill, Mr. Murphy and Mr. Sheehau in New York. This meeting was chronicled in the pa pers but no statement was made public of what had been done. Hill men say the meeting was held at the instance of Mr. Gorman, to consider the opposition to Cleveland. Mr. Gorman urged Mr Hill G ROVER CLEVELAND. and his friends to make the right against Cleveland at Chicago and promised then his support. He intended at that time to remain in the East, but Mr. Hill urged him to go to Chicago, and he finally con sented to do so. Arriving here, he con tinued to confer with the Hill people and at one of these conferences, held last Sunday, he authorized them to use his name in the effort to form a combination against Cle veland. All of this, they say, they have now discovered was for the purpose of furthering the ambition of Mr. Gorman. When they laid before Mr. Gorman the results of iheir canvass, showing that with his name they could prevent the nomination of Mr. Cleve land ou the first ballot, they did not show enough strength to assure to Mr. Gorman the nomination, and he thereupon repudiated the whole arrange ment and went into the Cleveland camp Mr. Gorman's side of the question has not been stated in full but his friends in the Maryland delegation have given out since the canvass of Monday the state ment that he refused to permit his name to be ued aud that his refusal was be cause he believed that it was to be put up ouly for the purpose of beating Cleve land. The committee ou rules had a hot ses sion this morning, (.'lard', of Missouri, protested against action on the unit rule in the absence of the New Yorkers, but Chairman English said it was necessary that the committee should report. Fi nally the minority report, in favor of the unit rule, was adopted 24 to 19. The contests in the 23rd aud 25th dis tricts of Pennsylvania, were decided by seating the contestees. The contest in first Ohio district and the Utah contest were referred to a sub committee of live, with instructions to report to the full committee this morning. The sub-committee on this coutest subsequently re ported in favor of Mr. Barnard, the sit ting member. Adopted. The contest in Utah between the Caine and Power delegates was decided in favor of the Caine delegates by an unanimous vote, and John T. Caine and Henry B. Henderson were declared duly accorded delegates from the Territory of Utah. Chairman Lamb, of Indiana, were di rected to make a unanimous report to the convention on all the contested cases submitted to the committee for considera tion. At 11:17 the New York delegation, fol lowed by "Boss" Croker and Governor Flower and Chairman Murphy, hand in hand, and closely by the rest of the New York delegation, made their way to their seats accompanied by cheers. Cleveland's manager Whitney came in soon after wards, and joined the "anti-snappers" amid applause. In the loDg wait the band was the only source of relief for the im patient galleries and they played over again all the tunes that captured opprov al yesterday. Precisely at 11:C0 Temporary Chair man Owens rapped the convention to . ...A order and called upoh lib' Ret. Alfred Henry, of., the Methodist Episcopal Churth of Chicago, to offer prayer. He &sked that the convention be guided to choose a representative of modern pro gressive Democracy and prayed that the party might proceed to victory not for the spoils of offici. Just as the prayer concluded the Towd phalanx entered the hall, the big blue banner with the pic ture Of Horace Boies borne in front of them. There were cheers from all parts of the hall, and the baud inappropriately struck up ".Maryland, MV Maryland." When Uo music teased the temporary chairman brought his gavel down and announced that the first business of the convention would be the report of the committee on credentials. He asked if that committee was ready to report. Be fore any one could reply; Mr Watson; bf Minnesota got the floor and la a brief speech moved I that the courtesies of the platform be extended to" ex-Senators Jas 11 Doolittle aud Lyrhah Trtimbull. The chair declared this motion tarried with out putting it. The chairman again ask ed if the committee on credentials were ready to report. Mr, Shaw, of Maryland, from the ex treme rear of the hall, replied that they were not. The chair "At what time can the com mittee state that they will be ready K" Mr. Shaw "Not before two o'clock." This announcement was received with a subdued iiiurmer of disappointment. The chairman enquired what was the next pleasure of the convention, the com mittee not being ready to report. Mr. Hrousou, of Kentucky got the floor and moved that the Chair appoint a committee of two td wait On the com mittee On credentials and ask when they would be ready to report. The motion was agreed td, and Mr. Broison,of Kentucky, and Mr. Pollard, of Indiana, were appointed. Mr. English, of Indiana, chairman of the committee on rules and order of bus iness, then took the platform and read the committee's report as follows: As chairman of the committee on rules and order of business 1 have been instructed by a majority of t hat committee to sub mit the following report: We lecomnicud that the following or der of husiness be observed in this con vention: 1 Report of committee on credential-. 2 Report of the committee on organi zation. 3 Report of the committee on resolu tions and platform. 4 Report of the committee on nomi nation of the President of the United States. 5 Report of the committee on nonii iuatiou of Vice President of the United States, Your committee further recommends that the rules of the last national Demo cratic convention shall be adopted for the government of the convention. To the surprise of the convention, no minority report was presented and on motion the majority report presented by Mr. English was adopted without objec tion. The chairman asked if the committee on resolutions was ready to repoit. There was no reply and in the interval that followed the band struck up a lively air. At the conclusion of this performance, Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, was recognized to present a zinc gavel. He said: "Mr. Chairman, in behalf of the zinc producers and miners of Missouri, I present to you this gavel, not made from tin or stolen from a Nebraska homestead, but mined and made in Jasper county, Mo., and bearing the inscription 'We need no pro tection,' as a protest against the mockery of legislation which imposes a useless tariff of thirty per cent, upon the metal as a pretext for taxing the lamp, pick, bhirt and blanket of the miner more than forty per cent. The miner is ready to do his part in giving the electoral vote of Missouri to the nomiuees of the conven tion by 40,000 majority." The chairman accepting the gavel repeated in substance the .remarks of Mr. Phelps which had been almost inaudible to the convention. The chairman of the committee ou reso lutions not being in sight the chairman ordered the clerk to ask the delegation to send to the desk the names of mem bers of the national committee and of the committee of notification. The roll call was about to proceed when Mr. Owens, of Kentucky, asked how the State of Pennsylvania was re corded. Being advised, he said: "In the face of that, I want to call the atten tion of the fonveution to the fact that New York is still Democratic." There were mingled cheers at this an nouncement. Then the call of the roll proceeded with the announcements being greeted with cheers. There was a minute of suspense and then the clerk announced tbevote 504 ayes and 342 noes. The announcement was greeted with caeeringand waviugof hats. The New York delegate proposed three cheers for Henry Watterson and the New York delegation gave them hearti ly. Next came the second attack on the platform the opposition to the silver plank. Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, said there was a point of difference in the commit tee on resolutions. It related to the coinage plank and the substitute that some of the members from the South and West offered considered the word "free" before the coinage and substitute would have it read as follows: "We denounce the Republican legisla tion known as the Sherman act of 1890 as a cowardly makeshift fraught with DAVID B. HILL. possibilities of danger in future which should make all of its supporters as well as its author anxious for its speedy re peal. We hold to the use of both g ld and silver as the standard money of the country, ,aha frefe coinage or uotn both gold and silver without discrimina tion against either metal or charge for mintage." The rest of the resolution was left un changed. The chairman quietly put the motion and it was carried by a large majority so large that there was no division and the chairman then put the question on the adoption of the platform. Thete were some cHssentjnp rotes but me tumrmau Ueciareif tile piauorm adopted. Thfe chairman then announced that the next question was the cadi of the roll of States for nominations of candidates for President. At this the convention loudly chee red. When Alabama was called a delegate named Fenton jumped on his chair and moved ah" adjournment, bat without heeding the motion the secretary pro proceeded with she call. Arkansas yielded her place to New Jersey and amid cheers, Governor Leon Abbott, of New Jersey, was recognized and took the stand to nominate Grover Cleveland. He stood just behind the chairmau's desk, manuscript in front of him and speaking so clearly that he could be heard all through the great hall. When Gov. Abbett named Cleveland the hurrah of an hour before was re newed. The delegates sprang to theii feet, many of them mounting chairs, hats were thrown in the air, and the noise of cheering was deafening. Mich igan's banner was waved aloft again. The enthusiastic banner-bearer forgot discretion, and, taking the banner across the aisle flaunted it in the face of the New York delegates. Gen. Sickles resented this imperti nence; and denounced it, and he w;is joined by other members of the deleea lion. Mayor Manning, of Albany, put out his foot to bar the aisle where he sat, and the banner-bearer fell. Michigan men were across the aisle in an instant, aud it looked as though blows would follow. Gen. Sickles: "We in New York are gentlemen, and do not propose to be insulted." "So are we," said a man from Michi gan, "and we know how to behave our selves." "You cannot carry that man's banner across here," said Sickles, waving his crutch in the air. "We propose to say who shall be our candidate and we do not want to have Michigan ramming their candidates down our throats." Then a Michigan delegate poured oil on the troubled waters by saying: "The man was told not to raise the banner and he had no right to go over in the New York delegation in any event," and the cou tlict which threatened blows came to an tnd. Th. cheering continued interinittiugly for ten minutes. The chairman succeed-, ed in pounding order with his gavel and Governor Abbett went on. At the next sentence i "Not only will he receive the support of every Democrat in the land" there were cries of "No," and counter cries of "Yes" from all over the hall. Stopping a moment, the Governor re peated ; "I said every Democrat," laying a strong emphasis on the word "Demo crat." The point brought down the house. At another point where Gov. Abbett paused, some one cried: "Give us a Dem ocrat," but it did not provoke a demon stration. When Governor Abbett came to the review of the modern heroes of Democracy each was cheered in modera tion from Russell to Boies, but when David B. Hill's name was mentioned Tammany and the New York delegation led a demonstration second only to that which the Cleveland men had made. Mounting their chairs the New Yorkers led a cheering army which found recruits momentarily in every part of the hsll. Twice the New York men sat down but each time the cheering started anew and again and again the friends and admirers of Hill arose to their feet. Just behind the chairman, Dr. Mary Walker Hood almost alone waving a white handker hief in the face of the convention. After the speech of Gov. Abbett, car ried on and closed amid much confusion, English, of Indiana, took the platform to second the nomination of Cleveland, saying that Senator Voorbees was con fined to his bed by severe indisposition. A letter was read from Voorhees, endor sing Cleveland, and was loudly cheered. At 11.45 p.m., Duncomb took the plat form to present the name of Boies, of Iowa, saying that for the first time a man would be presented for the high office of President who lives west of the Missis sippi river. After Duncomb had concluded the rain was pouriug in torrents and the lightning Mashing, and the chairman took refuge under an umbrella. Colorado being reached, yielded to New York, when W. C. DeWitt, of Brooklyn, made his way up the aisle to. nominate Senator Hill. But the storm was so great that the New York delegation unanimously requested him to pause until it should abate. In a few minutes the raging of the elements having diminished Mr. De Witt made a very stirring and forcible speech in behalf of the New York Sena tor, and in conclusion, after defending the mid-winter convention, said: "Ours is the coign of vantage, the point of strategy, the very spot of victory or de feat. We appreciate the responsibility of our position and would speak to you like men whose blood flows in their words." After the nominations had been made and seconded, and motions to adjourn had been repeatedly defeated, the roll of States was called as follows: Alabama 14 for Cleveland, 4 Morrison. 2 for Campbell. Arkansas, Cleveland 6. California, Cleveland 18. Colorado, Hill 3, Boies 5. Connecticut, Cleveland 12. Georgia, Hill 5, Gorman 4, Cleveland 17. Idaho, Boies 6. Illinois Cleveland 48.

The following candidates were put in nomination for Vice-President Thursday morning: Arkansas nominated U;iac. F. Gray, of Indiana. Michigan nominated Allan R. Morse. Kentucky nominated Adlai E. Steven son, of Illinois. Mr. Elias stood on the chair when North Carolina was called and seconded the nomination of Srevenson. He said that if Mr. Stevenson was wise enough 'to be in the cabinet of the Hon. Grover Cleveland, he was tit to run on the tick et with him." Stevenson wan nominated on the tirst ballot, and by motion of Ohio it wa made unanimous. Railroad Earnings in South Carolina. Vorktille (S. C.) Enquirer.

New York Recorder. TIPS ON LAYING LINOLEUMS. ' f While it is difficult to follow a system in fitting oilcloths and linoleums, a few cardinal rules must be observed, and we (venture to suggest them. In cutting linoleum from a diagram allow an inch at the ends. If it is not to be laid at once allow also a fraction on the width, for shrinkage is probable both ways. Get ,the diagram correct to the fraction of an inch, so that if cutting must be done for centre pieces or register holes it can be Jdone before the cloth is laid on the room. jTack linoleum after butting the edge evenly within an invisible brad, say four inches apart, and if possible line the edges with an adhesive paste. Get the floor smooth by dressing the planks. Do not try to even it up by laying strips of paper lining over sinks in the floor. Nothing but a jack plane will serve. The future service of the cloth will depend upon the floor being per fectly smooth. A nicely laid linoleum needs no binding, but should binding be desired for sake of appearance, use one half inch brass binding. Let linoleum, like oilcloth, lay face down several days in the store before fitting it. Another reason for having the cloth made per fectly ready for the apartment is to avoid scratching the baseboard with surplus cloth, ami the ceitaintyof cutting tho ends untrue. The balance of the detail must be left to the skill of the layer. We offer no antidote for blisters and puffs which appear in the centre of sheets of linoleum or oilcloth. Tho manufacturer comes in there. The seller had better lie low and hop that Mrs. Jones will not put much stress on that little swell," for he is powerless to help it. Carpet and Upholstery. STItAWBKKKIES. ' 'Some ene has truly said," writes Mrs. E. R. Parker, in the Courier Journal, "the sight of strawberries in the market is one of the most delightful suggestions of tho fullness and perfection of spring, and taste of them is our most delicicus and complete realization." While nothing can be daintier than strawberries and cream, or strawberries dipped in sugar, yet a variety in serving all fruits renders them more appetizing. The following recipes will therefore be useful. Strawberries and Whipped Cream Stem ripe strawberries, place a "Jtyer in a glass dish,cover with pulverized sugar, ' and put another layer of berries and sugar. Cover the top with a pint of thick cream, the white of two eggs and a teacup of sugar,whipped together. Set on ice until chilled. Iced Strawberries Put ripe straw berries, after capping, in a bowl, cover with powdered sugar and the juice of three or four large oranges. Let stand one hour. When ready to serve,sprinkle with pounded ice Strawberry Pyramid Crush a pint of ripe strawberries with a pint of sugar; beat the whites of four eggs; beat alto gether until it stands in a pyramid. Strawberry Tapioca Wash a cup of tapioca, cover with cold water and soak over night. In the morning put on the fire with a pint of boiling water and let simmer until clear. Stem a quart of ftrawberries and stir in the boiling tap ioca, sweeten to taste. Take from tho fire, pour in a dish, and stand aside to cool. Serve very cold, with cream. Strawberry Bavarian Cream Cover half a box of gelatine with half a cup of cold water and soak half an hour. Wash a quart of ripe strawberries snd press through a fine seive; add a cup of sugar and stir until dissolved. Stand the gela tine over boiling water, and thin with the strawberry juice; mix well, pour in a tin pan, est on ice, stir until it thick ens, add a pint of whipped cream, mix carefully. Pour in a mold add set in a cool place to harden. Strawberry Sponge Dissolve half t bo of gelatine by working half an hour, and then pouring over half a pint of boiling water, and a cup of sugar and a pint of strawberry juice, strain iu a tin pan, set on ico until thick. Beat to a froth, and add the stiffly whipped white of four eggs, beat smooth, pour in a pud ding mold, and set on ice to harden. Serve with vanilla sauce. Strawberry Shortcake Stem two quarts of strawberries and sweeten, mash slightly with a wooden spoon. Rub two ounces of butter into a quart of sifted flour, add a teaspoonful of salt and two of baking powder, with sufficient sweet milk to make soft dough. Mix quickly, roll thin, put in a greased pan, and bako in a very quick oven. When done tako from the oven, split into halves and spread each lightly with butter. Place the lower half in a lar-je, flat dish, put half the berries orer thi, cover with the other half of the shortcake. Spread tha remaining berries on it, pour whipped cream around and serve. Strawberry Pasfait Whip a quart of cream to a froth and sweeten, add a pint of mashed strawberries, mix carefully, put into au ice cream mold, press tha lid down tightly, pack in salt and ice, and free three hours. StTvt&wry Water Ice Stem a quart of strawberries, add a pound of sugar and the juice of two lemons, mash, ami stand aside oie hour, strain, aid a quart of ice water, pour in a freezer and freeze. Frozen Strawberries Stem a quart of ripe strawberries, add half a joint of sugar, let stand one hour, squeeze in the juice of three oranges and a quart of thin syrup, stir, turn in a freezer and freeze.
