Will Meet in St. Louis on the Sixth Day ofJuJy. . The Democratic national committee which met at Washington on Tues day of last week, furnished a surprise, selecting St. Louis as the place for holding the national convention of 1904. The date fixed for the cooven was Wednesday, July 6, at 12 oclock. Previous to ibe meeting of the com mittee it seemed a foregone conclu sion that Chicago' would be selected as the place of meeting, but political exigences entered into the situation and a majority of the committee vot ed for St. Louis. For some hours pre vious to the meeting of tbe committee there was talkjnthe corridors and among Democratic leaders that tbe convention in Chicago might be sub ject to the influence of a strong move ment and a strong newspaper iniiu ence in favor of some particular can didate. Mr. Knapp of the St. Louis Republic hinted at this in his speech by saying that the convention if held in St. Louis would be welcomed by an absolutely fair pres?. , The committee meeting caused con siderable discussion of politics and the claims of various candidates were ad vocated oy their partisans, but noth log favoring any candidate appeared in the committee proceedings.. Wm. J. Bryan, when the committee had concluded its labors appeared but his visit was. without.any apparent po litical significance. He did r.ot come to the hotel until after the committee bad about concluded its business. He was warmly greeted by the members of the committee and invited a num ber of them to call on him at his ho tel in the eveuing, and held a confer ence with Chairman Jones at the Shorebam. State Senator McCarren of New York was given a hearty cheer as he stepped forward to present the claims of New York city for the convention. The recent political contest* be said, afforded an opportunity for delegates to witness the ground on which the fusion forces recently met their Waterloo., The convention would be a stimulus to the adjoining States of New Jersey and Connecticut. Id any event he pledged New York for the Democratic column.j A communication was read from former Mayor Van Wyck and others in favor of New York,{saying: "We Democrats or the city have [ done our share always in the past and in the present, and are prepared to do it in the future, but we hope that our efforts shall be appreciated by our fel low Democrats. We have by our late triumphant election infused confi dence into the party everywhere; *we look to you to keep up that enthusi asm." Mayor Rolla Wells presehted. the claims of St Louis. A written pro posal was presented to the committee offering $40,000 in cash and the free use of the coliseum, a fire-proof build ing with a seating capacity of 12,000. The Business Men's league guaranteed hotel accommodations. ? There were two roll calls to select the cfty. On the first St Louis receiv ed 23 votes, Chicago 20 and New York* 6. Ca the second ballot St. Louis re ceived 23 votes and Chicago 21. The date was fixed as July 6th on motion of Col. J. M. Guffcy of Pitts burg. J. G. Johnson of.Kmsas sug gested June 7. The Juue date was de clared to be too early and likely to in terfere with the primary electloas. Chairman Jones appointed J. T. McGraw of West Virginia, J. T. Elly son of Virginia, W. B. Bourley of New Jersey, J. M. Guffey of Pennsyl vania and Norman E. Mack of New York as the committee to consider the disputed committee membership from the District of Columbia. To this committee was also referred the request of the Democratic central committee from Hawaii asking that a Mr. Wood be made the member from Hawaii and also a request from the Democratic central committee from Puerto Rico requesting permission to send six delegates to the national con-1 vention. The committee adjourned to meet at the call of the chair. "Worst of All Experiences. Can anything be worse than to feel that every minute will be your last? Such was the experience of Mrs. S. II.

A case full of sadness and patbos, picturing tbe old, old story yet ever fresb wltb heart interest and human intere.?t, of whiskey bringing dis honor and shame and want to blacken and blast and disrupt a once happy home full of sunshine and hope and cladness, - was that' in the federal court Tuesday against Lawrence L. Copeland, a handsome and well-dress ed young man whose features and bearing and language stamped bim as having been reared in refinement and culture. He pleaded guilty to era bnzzling S935 of government funds while postmaster at Kershaw. In entering bis plea and throwing h'm seif On tbe meicy of tbe court Mr. Copeland said that this was his first experience as an offender of thf law, but that he had only himself to blame, as he had allowed whisky to get the better of him. fie said that he bad spent tbe money for whiskey, and that that was all there was to it, but that he hoped the court would remember him as mercifully as possi ble on account of his young wife and little child, of whom he was the sole dependence for a living. He hoped after serving his sentence to begin his life over and thought he would be able to be a man and give his family the support they needed. Sadness and repentance and remorse were written on his face, but it was all pathetically mixed with a sort of dignity, both of bearing and tone of voice. There was no cringing or tear-shedding. 1 Mrs. I Copeland, a pretty little woman who has probably suffered intensely on ac count of her husband's weakness, but who is said to have borne her troubles with that patience and unfaltering courage and devotion that makes a true woman great, occupied a seat within the bar. She bore the ordeal bravely while her husband was enter ing bis plea .which published his shame to the world, but tbe tears came freely when Judge Brawley sen tenced Copeland to two years in the Atlanta prison, and as tbe bailiffs led him out of the court room she fullow with her handkerchief to her eyes. There was also a tine of $935 imposed, but no effect attaches this, inasmuch as Copeland has run through with all of his property. An otlicer of the court who has investigated the case said that Copeland probably used little of the mis-sing money, that he was not in his right mind on account of drinking for many months berore his arrest, that he bad his office in a a badly mussed condition when it was investigated. He would often go out without his hat, and would be found .wandering about aimlessly.?T b e State. Hampton't* Monuimnt. Among tbe new measures introduc ed in the House of Representatives on Wednesday was one by Mr. Richards of Kershaw to appropriate a sum suffi cient to bring tbe Hampton monu ment fund up to 830,000. The legis lature last year appropriated 820.000 for the equestian statue, and the peo ple of the State were exptcted to con tribute 810,000. A commission was appointed and these gentlemen have made repeated requests for ail socie ties to turn in money contributed but the appeals have been disregarded to such an extent that it is impossible to tell just how much has been given for the erection of the monpment. The commission has heard in an informal way of hundreds of dollars scattered around over the State and those in charge locally have made, no report. The people outside of South Carolina are looking to see tbe State make proper acknowledgement of the ser vice of Hampton th?man and Hamp ton the exponent of the men who were loyol to a great cause. Mr. Rich ards' measure has met with much favor. Lumen (k Gordon. The following telegram from Presi dent Roosevelt deploring General Gor don's death was received by non. Clark Howell of Atlanta, Ga., on Tuesday night, Jan. 12: ? ''White House, Washington, D. C, Jan. 12, 1904?To Clark Howell Edi tor of the Constitution, Atlanta, Ga.: I was greatly shocked and grieved at the report of General Gordon's death.

Johnson o( Fairfield has presented a bill to tax franchises which will be given rnnisblorable atten tion in the house. The measure pro vides that every corporation must make an annual return to the secre tary of state, giving the names of the officers, amount of capital, place of business number of shares and kinds of stock. Every such coporation is expected to pay to the secretary of state one mill on every dollar of capitalization. The bill is modeled after the Ohio low. The revenue thus obtained in Ohio is enormous and the State of New York gets $12, 000,000 annually from the franchise tax. On a corporation of $1,000,000 capitalization the income would be $1,000; but due to the difficulties in the way of organizing cotton mills in this State, the Li!! prepescj tc- let such industries off upon the payment of'610 annually.
