The telegram means the pardon and res-
tcr.itlni to citizenship of a man convicted of
manslaughter , who had boon serving a life
scntcnco within the walls of the state prison
at Carson , Nov.
Thirty-one years ago , relates a dispatch to
the Olobo-Democrat , n. J. Cosgrovo wni n
man aged 30 , and a resident ot Item , Nov.
Ho was keeping company with a young
woman , and they were to marry.
They went to a ball one night In the early
spring of 18C5 , nnd the young man drank
more than was good. lie was of n Jealous
nature , and , on bis return to the ball room ,
which ho had loft io Indulge In further drink ,
ho found the woman dancing with a stranger.
It angered him , and ho wor.t to her and In
sisted that they should go homo. She re
fused , and ho pulled out n knlfo and an-
saultcd her. Her death was almost Instan
taneous. He wan promptly arrested , tried ,
convicted and was sentenced to end hlo
daya In flute prison. Ho haa sorveJ thirty-
one yeara
Cosgrovo owes his pardon to Mrs1. Leavltt.
The latter accompanied her husband , who
waa then a. manager of a dramatic company -
pany , on n tour or the Pacific coast In 1895.
Last October the company played In Heno
during the wpok of the state fair. Governor
Jones was thoro. and made the acqualntauc ?
of Mr. nnd Mrs. Loavltt. The following week
the company played In Canon City , nnd , at
tha ouggostlcn f Governor Jones , a per
formance far the pleasure of Inmates cf the
state prison waa given In tha prison.
There were C19 Inmate : ' In the prison , and
n stogo waa sot up In tlio rear end of the
Immense dining room , the company using
some of the cells of the Inmates fur their
dressing rooms. Thero. In the presence of
the state convicts , with the governor and
staff , and all the state officials as on
lookers , the performance was given for three
hours. After the performance , a number of
the convicts came up to Mrs. Leavltt and
thanked her for the pleasmto she had given
them , and presented each member of the
company with some trinket of their own
handiwork. '
Among the number waa Cosgrovo , now a
man of Cl , and ho presented lira Leavltt
with a pair of fine singing canaries raised
by hlmpolf , a privilege that the warden had
granted him , and which lie pursued for
years. Mrs. Loavltt grew Interested In him ,
and after a little persuasion she drew from
his Hpa the story cf his life. Every year
for twcnty-flvo years , ho told her , hla case
same up before the board of pardons for
clemency , but no favorable action could be
had. Thlo was duo to the opposition of E.
J. Stall , a newspaper man of Reno , who was
a friend of the woman killed , and hlo pro
test bad sufficient weight to prevent nny
clemency in hla case by the pardon board.
Mrs. Ljavltt's heart was touched , and she
went to work with a will to secure the con-
ylct'o pardon. A personal Interview was
had with the governor that night. The
governor was much moved , but pleaded that
ho could not lake any favorable action owing
to the p'rbEc.4 of Stall of Heno. The latter
waa scon , Jjut ho said ho would do noth
ing until ho heard from the murdered girl's
brother , who waa located In New York.
When Mrs. Leavltt came east rtio hunted
up the brother nnd got his consent to the
pardon. Then Stall was corresponded with ,
and relented. The pardon was then granted ,
and Cosgrovo's telegram brought Joy to Mrs.
Leavltt's heart.

"But talking of blunders , " continued the
member of congress , remlnltcently , to the
Washington Post , "did you ever hear the
story of Governor niggs of California and
his pleuro-pneumonla fad ? Well , It was
In the Kitty-first congress. Biggs repre
sented a district In California , nnd hla one
hobby was pleuro-pneumonla. The symp

times , but somehow ho could never got a.

refusing to recognize him. He was go full

speaker on the floor of the house :
" 'I must be recognized on the pleuro-

tomorrow and shan't bo back for a month.

of cold tea to tonic himself for ths great
effort of his life , the long corked-up speech
on pleuro-pnomnonla.
"A- ) soon as an opportunity offered Biggs
asked lor recognition , and was given the
floor. Aa ho proceeded ho waxed eloquent
and simultaneously thlri-ty. Ho asked
Cluny , his colleague , to bring him a glass of

Inspiration of humor , set a gloss of gin on
Biggs' desk. Biggs titanic the gin and grew

BOSTON , March 27. Accompanied with
enthusiasm that rocked the great music hall
the btato convention for the election of dele
gates-to the republican national convention
nt St. Louis was held hero today. The
delegates came with only ono nnmo In theli
minds as their choice for the presidential
nomination. It was that of Hon. Thomas
D. Heed of Maine , consequently any roferencf
to the man or hla sentiments was the slgna
for cheers and applause ; nnd again and again
the building trembled with shouts and hand-
clapping , cheers and waving of hats , as the
delegations contested with each other In
manifesting their appreciation of their favor
lie.
Long before the hour for calling the con
vcntlon to order the delegates began to assemble
semblo In the hall , which was elaborately
decorated. The delegates killed time , pend
ing the call to order , by cheering whenever
a prominent member of the party made
his appearance upon the platform. The
first grand volley of cheers came when the
officers of the state central committee , led by
Chairman George H. Lyman , made their ap
pearance on the platform , while the band
played "Hall Columbia. "
Mr. Lyman called the convention to order
nt 10:1G : and the call for the convention wa °
read by Secretary Tolbot. , Ht. Hov. Wll

WS'OAVE HEED A SENDOFP.
"Wo are assembled In convention em
powered by the suffrages of the republican
voters of Massachusetts to outline and tle-
tormlno the policy of this commonwealth ,
when she shall meet the representatives from
her sister states at perhaps the most Im
portant national ccnventton In the history of
the great American party. We meet after
a lapse of four years , to select good men and
true , who are to speak for the common
wealth at the convention , and also to ngreo
upon and formulate such rules of govern
ment as. shall best tend to represent and Interpret
torpret the principles of the party wo honor
the foundation of our best citizenship. Let
the national convention stand true to the best
Interests of the republican party , an honest
dollar and the institutions of our country
and that party's defeat Is an Impossibility.
"Gentlemen , our position Is a very ie _
sponslblo one. In thought and name and
being we are one with that New England sis
terhood of states whase proudest record has
of those Institu
over been for loyal support
tions. Why has no New England stoto yet
met In convention ? lo It not because they
demand first to hear the voice of Massachus
etts ? Toward the decline of eighteenth
century , with sword nnd pen , in council and
on the field , New England with united pur
pose was the foremoot In establishing thlo
great government under which wo live , and
foremost of them all In freedom's cause , with
brain and arm fought Massachusetts. Then
was given birth to that great bulwark of the
American people the New England man.
MANY VITAL ISSUES.
"Today , though ble sed with peace , we
have issues no less vital that must be dis
tinctly met. They Involve the very founda
tion of our civil structure , of those Institu
tions of our credit , of our national honor.
Massachusetts owes It to herself , she owes it
to thosa who fashioned her in earlier and
darker days , to take her place and maintain
her birthright In the councils of states. All
the states within this wide territory God's
gift to an Infant republic In religion , In
onterprlss. In culture , In refinement , In its
tishcols. in thn fervid and intense spirit of
patriotic Americanism , by tradition , nnd by
example stands first and foremost the old Bay
state.
"Then let ycur votes send such men to St ,
Louis as shall best represent Massachusetts ,
that at this last convention of the nineteenth
century she and all New England shall stand
no cipher , but a mighty unit and with such
resolutions as Bhall receive the endorsement
of nil Americans who own n country , and
demanding ouch a leader ns truly American
OB the principles ha Is called upon to defend.
New England ranuot be said to be leis
worthy of leadership today than In the old
days of thirteen original colonies whsn oho

Thomas BracUett Reed.

The committee on credentials reported that
the convention wns entitled to 2,002 dele
gates , and that 1,851 delegate : " were present.
Congressman S. W. McCnll of Winchester
was chosen permanent chairman. Ills in
troduction was the signal for a great ovation.
FAULT OP DEMOCRACY.
Chairman McCall addressed hlmsolf first
to a statement of the business situation. The
depression prevailing ho attributed to the
democratic party.
"Tho caution imroed upon our business
men by the democratic restoration , " ho said ,
"was Increased by the first net ? ot the ad
ministration. Mr , Cleveland put the Treas
ury department in the hands of a gentleman ,
who. however dlstlnsulshod by parliamen
tary talents , brought to the dlccharge of his
now duties a degree of Incapacity never before -
fore known In financial circles of that high
offlcD.yhen first confronted with the prob
lem of malntalnlns the gold reserve ,
v/hlch had been so laboriously built up nnd
BO sacredly euarded by republican Btaio
mcn , the administration refused to ISPUU
bonds to secure geld and Mr. Carlisle threatened -
onod to pay our obligations In depreciated
silver. This attitude , In view of his pre-
vloua record upon the silver question , rudely
disturbed the conflderca of everybody Inter
ested In having our money standard main
tained , or owning American securities , A
run was ntarlcd upcn the trrssuryj the gold
reserve , loft defenseless * , was trenched upon
for llio first time since Its creation ; cur
stocks and bonds came back to us atrow the
ocean liy. ship loads and In u moment ivo
were in lUo midst of a financial panic which ,
compared with the panic of 1573. wax rts $ he
huiilcano to the inimmer'a broe/e. The Fale
of a few bonds would linvo nvortcJ the flrt-t
danger , but when the sroat dike for thu
preservation of n sound currency was once
li-okcn , lens cf million ! ) of bonds Mere
almost useless when thrown In tha broai-h. "
Iho t'jcaker ' prorcodp.l wllh n revluw of
national finances tluco 1SC1 , deducing from it
the statement that tie ! republican policy cf
protection had given thn country a proiperlty
\\hlch had buen Interrupted ati tlt | > principle
of protection had been threatened. "To L > ; UII

NHHD OF SOUND CUKHUNOV.

Mr. MelJnll raid In rr ft : "Xo country can bti

would reduce thc. o earnings at least 10 PC
cent , or by $1,300,000,000 , a sum equal to ou
entire public debt , even with the vast demo
crntlc accretions of the last three years
Compared with this enormous sum , how
utterly trivial the cent of maintaining ou
gold rercrvo at a point that shall dlaMpat
all doubt.
"Wo have had , " the speaker contlnuoJ
"an unsteady nnd unskillful admlnletratloi
of the treasury , which has permitted ou
gold reserve to go below the point of dnngo
before replenishing It , nnd has either pro
duced porno grave International situation o
awaited a disturbed market , as a prelim
Inary condition to the oolllng of bonds. Ou :
public , credit hao thus been Impaired am
our vast burlnoss Interests have been holi
trembling over the precipice of sliver mono
tnclallleim.
CALL BACK THE REPUBLICANS.
"Tho obvious remedy for this flnancla
condition Is to call back to power the party
that has shown that It possesses the capacity
to manage the treasury and which has nl
ways provided the needed revenue and pro
vided n way to strengthen and not weaken
the gold reserve.
"But this Is not enough. Wo ewe It to
the friends of silver , as well as to the country
to frankly nnd unequivocally define our post
tion. While wo should exert our Influence )
with foreign nations for their co-operation In
securing any necessary broadening of the
flr.nnclal basis upon which business rests , wo
should not , notwithstanding that cooperation
tion , add a single ounces of silver to the
0,000 tons of that metal under which tbo
treasury vaults arc1 now groaning. "
Mr. McCall closed Ills address wllh an
eulogy of Thomas B. Heed as a candidate
for the presidential nomination , "Mr. Reel , '
ho said , "Is first and foremost a man wht
would oppose Jobbery with all the ntggai
strength of his nature , and who would not
swerve from the straight path of public duty
for the presidency. Itself. His position on the
financial question ' Is free from all doubt.
The cause ot protection never had a moro
powerful champion In' the halls of congress.
If , my fellow republicans , you want a leader
who will make not only a great candidate , bul
a great president , wfapso administration will
strengthen his party through the signal bene
fits It will confer upon his country , then abk
the republicans of the nation to Join hands
with you nnd put nt the head of ihelr
column In the battld of 1SOG that man ol
dauntless courage and unstained honor , thai
great parliamentarian who beat down the ob
struction that paralyzed the house of repre
sentatives , that broad-minded and enlight
ened statesman , Thomas B. Reed of Maine. "
Senator Lodge , as chairman , presented the
report of the commutes on resolutions. He
was frequently Interrupted with applause.
This was especially marked when the Cuban
nnd gold standard planks and the section re
ferring to the separation of church ani
state were read , but nil previous demonstra
tions -were not to bo compared with the
roar that followed the mention of Reed's
name as the nominee of th republicans ol
Massachusetts for the presidency. Then the
enthusiasm arose to a climax , and rounO
after round of applause rolled up through
the hall.
The resolutions are as follows.
"Massachusetts has always given an un
wavering support to the national candidates
of the republican party. Wo now pledge Its
electoral vote to the candidates to be chosen
by the convention at St. Louis. The con
vention will declare , the principles nnd policies
upon which the republican party will go to
the country. As the representatives of the
republicans of Massachusetts wo deslro tenet
not only promise the national convention
our faithful support for the candidates they
shall nominate , but also to set forth the
opinions of this great and steadfast repub
lican state as to the questions of the day
and the policies to bo pursued.
"Two years of uncontrolled democratic
supremacy wore enough to piovo that the
democratic party \\ns unable to conduct the
government without disaster to the country.
Thirty years of rule have shown that the
republican party , both In war and in peace ,
! able to govern and to legislate. For this
reason alone the national administration
should bo taken away from those who have
failed and returned to those who have been
successful and efficient.
"Wo believe the government should have
an ample revenue with sufficient surplus over
ordinary expenditures to provide for coast
defenses , for the steady building up cf the
navy and for the constant reduction of the
public debt.
"We believe that the present tariff with
Its lowered rates and Its destructive ) and
dishonest system cf undervaluations should
bo replaced by ono framed on protective
principles , and arranged to give ample pro
tection to American wages and American In
dustry and lo restore the reciprocity policy
of James G. Blame.
"We have always given protection to our
ship builders. In late years wo have neg
lected to protect our ship owners. We be-
Ilevo the tlmo has come to return to the pjlloy
of Washington and Hamilton , which , by dis-
crlmlnatlns duties In favor ot American
bottoms , secured 90 per cent of our carrying
trade to American ships , and which , if now
restored , would again revlvo our shipping
and cause American freights to bo paid to
Americans.
OPPOSED TO SILVER.
"We regard the sliver agitation as hurtful
to business nnd destructive of confidence and ,
aa has recently been shown , hostile to all
tariff legislation designed to glvo protection
.0 our Industries and revenue to our treasury.
"Wo ara entirely oppored to the free and
unlimited coinage of silver ; nnd to any
clmngo In the existing1 gold standard , except
by International agreement ; each dollar must
ba kept as goo.1 ns every other dollar. The
credit of the United States must be main
tained at the highest point , so that It can-
lot be questioned anywhere at homo or
abroad. Every promise must be rigidly kept
and every obligation redeemable In coin must
.0 paid In gold.
"We are opposed to the unsound and
Kuroua system of state banks. We support
ho national banking system and believe that
it ohould bo so amende ! as to glvo It room
'or expansion and opportunity to meet the
demands ot the growing business and popu-
atlon of the country.
"Tho civil service laws which remove the
mbllc service from the control of favoritism ,
mtionago and politico should bo honestly nnd
horoughly enforced , and the classified service
extended wherever It Is possible.
"Immigration should bo restricted and the
republican party should pledge Itself to pass
at once a law to exclude at least the totally
gnorant nnd Illiterate ,
"The United States should adhere rigidly
o the American principle of the entire sep
aration of church and otato and no npproprla-
lon ot public money for sectarian schools , ,
vhcther for the Indians or for others , should
10 permitted.
STRONG FOREIGN POLICY.
"We believe In a foreign policy which shall
> o at all times and with all nations firm ,
Igoraus and dignified. Our Interests In the
American continents must be carefully
guarded anJ for the protection of tlioso In-
ercDts wo should maintain our Influence In
ho Hawaiian Islands and build and control
he I''thmlai ] canal.
"Wo have never interfered and shall not
now Interfere with the long-established pos-
omlona of any European power in the Ameri
cas. But their possessions must not bo ox-
ended , TJio Monroe doctrine , as declared In
S23 and enforced In 1EC5 end In 1S95 , must
alwaya bo upheld ,
"Wo sympathize with the Cubans In tholr
itrugglo for Independence. As friends cf
recdoni everywhere , wo nlsh them success
ami Uclleo the United States thoulJ use Its
nflucnco nnd good ofllcos In the Interest of
lumanlty to bring to an end the useless and
iloody war now deflating Cuba and to glvo
he people of that Irland peace and solf-
Fcvornmont.
"Massachusetts republicans have never un- of
ertakon to pledge or b'nd their delegates to '
national convention. Wo do not Intend to
o so now. But we think It fitting to dc-
lart > our decided preference among the can- '
Idatoa for the republican nomination to the

AUSTIN , Tex. , March 27. A report U
urrent here that the leaders of the rcpub- f
cana and populists have a scheme to fuse ,
10 republicans to vote for the populist nom .
inees for Btato offices and the populltnto to
| mt republican electors on their Imllotp. If
this fusion In accomplished , It may endanger
Texas as a democratic state thl year. Two
yoaro ago the democratic vote for Culbcr-
son was 207,107 ; populist vote , 103,171 ; black
and tan republican , E4.G20 ; Illy whlto repub
lican , 5,025 , The figures show that the com
bined opposition two years ago had a mm-
Jorlty of over 5,000 , and this has been
greatly Increased since by defections from
the democratic ranks. This fusion move
ment , It la said , was put on foot at Dallas
fomo few weeks ago by Ed Green , W. K.

and leading populists.

IiicrcnHC In tlie Harrison Tulk.
INDIANAPOLIS , Ind. , March 27. Lead-
ng republicans politicians here note the Increase
creasein the Harrison talk. They hear
that some of the general's political friends
n the etate have recently received letters
'rom other states , suggesting that It looks
moro and moro as If the general will bo the
choice of the St. Louis convention. Men
who know the general best , and who say
that ho was sincere in his letter to Chair
man Gowdy , declare that ho will not de :
cline the nomination If the convention
should see fit to bestow It upon him. It Is
related that some tlmo ago the general , 'in ' b
discussing the possible action of the St.
jouls convention with his friends said :
"It Is one thing to enlist ; It is another
thing to bo drafted. I should not wish to
; o through the Atlanta campaign again ,
jut If I fhould bo drafted I would go with
out murmurlne. "
An effort is to be made to prevent In
diana's thirty-two votes going to McKlnley
on the first ballot. Antl-McKlnley men In
other states have suggested that If Indiana
vlll not gtvo him n solid vote his nomina
tion can undoubtedly bo prevented , nnd
ho convention "shaped up" for Harrison.
The policy which the state shall pursue
at the convention will be ono of the things
considered at the state convention. The
subject may not come before the open
convention , but the party managers will
decide at that tlmo what Is best to b2
done. It lo apparent that there- will bo
litter opposition to any effort to Instruct
ho delegates at large.

An elephant okln U a decided rarity , which
only conies on the market once or twlco In
a lifetime. The babies who were little when
the first elephant akin was tanned are grown
men and women now , nnd there- have been but
two In America plnco that tlmo. Ono of
these was exhibited at the World's Fair , mys
the Chicago Tribune , the other came to Chicago
cage about a year ago. There arc about five
pieces of It loft , and they are made up ns
pocketbooks and purses , mounted and finished
In the boot of gold , for elephant skin
Is far too rnro and precious to bo treated
with anything of less value. The tiniest
coin purse costs $17 , and the prices range
nil the way up to $85 or $100 for a really
nice purso.
All of the Pkln which la romlnc to Chicago ,
and which will cost over $500Is already ordorot
made up , and much more could bo disposed
bf If It V.CTO to be had. Elephant skin , ac
cording to the dealers , never gets Into the
regular channels of trada at all ; It Is bought
up , whenever It ls possible to buy It at nil ,
by two largo manufacturing companies.
The Chicago firm which has captured the
coming skin over the heads of the Now York
companies ls rejoicing In Its first attempt ,
It never having handled elephant skin before.
And a largo number of pocketbooks , all now
and shining for Easter , together with a
prayorbook It the. heavy hide can bo made
to serve this purpose will como out of the
huge skin. U Is only n small hide and will
not last long. It la the scarcity of the
akin which makes It so greatly In demand ,
Monkey skin him been sold for elephant skin
sovcrnl times since the advent of the first
hide In Chicago , say the authorities , but
none but the most casual observer Is over
deceived ; lo the expert In leathers there Is
no resemblance whatever , and any ono
who 1ms ever seen the two skins together
will never mistake * ono for the other.
Elephant skin , although making n "beauti
ful skin" to the eyes of the leather dealers.
Is not especially beautiful to the untrained
eye , being coarse In grain nnd Tathor heavy.
The original skin , when first stripped from
the animal , Is several Inches thick , nnd It
takes three or moro years In the tanneries
an3 vats , together with special and costly
treatment , to reduce It to a thlckncM which
will admit of being made up. It Is soaked ,
pare J , pared , soaked , and BO on for months at
a tlmo ; then It is treated In various ways to
give It pliability nnd all the daintiness of
texture possible , then hammered and dyed.
It Is capable of taking exquisite colors , ono of
the pursss now In Chicago being of a wonder
fully lovely green shade , and the markings on
the surface are unique If not positively beau
tiful. This , of course , makes It greatly ad
mired , since anything new Is always declared
beautiful , and the woman who buys a pocketbook -
book of elephant skin , or the man who makes
her an Easter gift of one , may have the satis
faction of knowing that Its value will not de
crease. In all probability no more elephant
skin will bo purchasable for years to come ,
and It may never bo had again.
The tanning of elephant skin can never become -
como n regular branch of the Industry on
account of the long life of the elephant , tha
difficulty of procuring the skin , and the length
of time necessary to prepare It for ue. Many
a man has taken a long Journey merely In
the hope of procuring a good skin , to comeback
back disappointed. Human sln' ! the skin of
a cassowary or ostrich , the skin of a boa-
constrictor , and the skin of the horned alliga
tor , may all be procured year by year , If only
the price offered Is sufficiently large , but the
skin of an elephant conies by chance. Then
It takes no small sum to purchase It , and ,
slnco cnly the finest work Is over put upon
It , the best workmen employed , and the most
costly materials used In Its making up and
finishing. It Is nn expensive luxury by the
tlmo It Is In the shops.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills , which vanish before proper ef
forts pcntle efforts plcnwmtcfiorts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge , that so mnny fonns of
sickness are not duo to tm.y actual dis
ease , but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system , which the pleasant
family laxative , Syrup of Fips , prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families , and is
everywhere esteemed BO highlj' by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects arc due to the fact , that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important , in order to get its bene
ficial effects , to note when j-ou pur
chase , that you have the genuine arti
cle , which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health ,
and the system is regular , laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease , ono
may be commended to the most skillful
iliybicians , but if in need of h. laxative ,
me should have the best , nnd with the
well-informed everywhere , Syrup of
Tigs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
