from Baltimore late to-day wearied

I am sure promises success an along ;
the line," said Mr. Murphy as he
alighted from the train. ''The can

Senator O'Gorman said Wilson
and Marshall "would receive a ma

clared that notwithstanding the
sharp rivalry between candidates
and their friends there never was a
convention of such harmony. ' ' When

nothing but. a feeling of confidence

STANCIIFIKLD'S STATEMENT.
John B. Stanchfield, who replied
to Bryan's attack on the New York
delegation at Baltimore, said:
"The ticket nominated at Balti
more is one of the best presented to
the people by the Democratic pnrty
:-;:ice the omiration of Grover
Cleveland. Mr. Bryan says he will
support Governor Wilson. That is
as it should be. No one should be
eliminated because of the conven

In an article on "Flies and Filth"
in the Bulletin of the North Caroli
na state board of health, Dr. Cyrus
Thompson applied n few of lus caus
tic remarks to the famous or infa
mous housefly. Says Dr. Thomp-
sc:
"Now, as a matter of unpreju
diced fact, barring the sting of the
bite and the odor of the encounter,
the bedbug is a much more eligible
companion than the housefly, whe
ther of bed or board. But if bed
bugs, comparatively cleanly of habit
crawled all over our plates, tabTe
and food just as the houseflys crawl,
fresh from the foulest filth of every
pestilental kind, who could eat or
even sit at the table for a moment?
I am not making a plea for the ele
vation of the social status of my noc
turnal friend, who loves darkness
rather than light; but I am declar
ing that his deeds are not nearly so
evil and destructive as those of the
housefly." Kinston Free Press.
