The Appeal

TO TAME THE TYRANT MAN VOL.16.NO.13. The studio of the Fashion Illustrator was the scene of an informal meeting of the Bachelor Girls' Confession club. A luncheon was spread out on the green table on lace dollles, with candles shaded in blue, which gave the occasion the appearance of a room. The room had a delightfully Bohemian look, that, as the Typewriter said, was almost dissipated. There were Japanese umbrellas so thick that you couldn't see them, but with wearing Lantern hung here and here with grinning Chinese dolls that twirled uncannily on the ends of strings. A Turkish water pipe was on a tabouret and an Anelian harp that hung on a door with weird sweetness, swayed by some untidy course. there was a couch, with a set of cushions which were the star feature of the place. There was a rumor of a folding bed in the refrigerator for guests, not to speak of a cuckoo clock with a well regulated bird that grew more insulting every hour as it grew later. "For our informal talk this evening," said the President, helping herself to a nut sandwich tied with a baby ribbon, we have the interesting subject submerged. "Miss Hunt-Ballot, our new member." Here the President paused to bow pleasantly at a young woman wearing eyeglasses, who sat on the floor with her tail skirt; hitched slightly over her knees to prevent bagging. All the girls turned and nodded. The new member was known to be a strong Women's Rights advocate. "The Tyrant Man; How to Manage and Subdue Him," went on the President. "It is an interesting and useful theme for us to discuss, as there is always a possibility of contingencies arising in which a knowledge of the subject will come in handy." A low murmur of approval greeted this announcement. The Woman's Rights girl pulled down her shirt waist in the back and passed the stuffed prunes, which she had brought, insisting on each member taking two. "Most of us," went on the President, "can speak only theoretically. The views of our widowed member and those of us who are, or who have been, engaged, will prove of interest, I am sure." The Widow girl rose with some importance. To-night she wore half-mourning that was almost gay, a violet and white polka-dotted taffeta silk gown made with a transparent yoke. There were some rumors afloat that she had come to the meeting in a cab, as she had on openwork silk stockings and suede slippers, embroidered with "The management of man," she said, "is one of the most difficult subjects the female mind can cope with until—the paused eloquently—"until it is mastered. After this it is simple—ridiculously simple—but not necessarily rules. The methods must vary with the situation. There is but one general principle. He must not suspect the process. This is absolutely necessary!" "How does one begin?" asked the Fluffy girl. "Begin at the beginning" answered the Widow girl: "when one is engaged." "But," said the Fluffy girl, with a puzzled look, "you have to know how to manage him to get engaged. You can't be engaged without a proposal. A Student with some bitterness, "and when you manage to work things to this point, it is a good plan not to threaten to break off the engagement every time you quarrel. Somewhat, she sat down with a gulp, and the members noticed with sympathetically averted glances that the emerald solitaire she had been wearing was gone from her hand, and she moved over here her skull and crossbones class ring. "Certainly not," said the Widow girl with emphasis, "for, after all, when a man has proposed, you have everything given in; threw up the -ponge." "I should think," drawn the Woman's Rights girl, "that it is the girl who gives her freedom; forsakes her freedom; her individuality." "Oh, not at all," said the Medical Student with the air of one who knew. "Nine men out of ten propose without meaning to. They are attracted to some girl, but they are attracted to matrimony. In fact, nowadays matrimony upon matrimony as a trouble that they must avoid. But there are various instances—usually another man who may appear upon the scene; often a quarrel, and he finds he engaged. A girl on the phone expects it. And then it just happens." "And sometimes it doesn't happen," said the President. "There are many ways in which a man may avoid proposing. A favorite plan is for him to tell every girl he knows that he never intends to marry her. He knows that he will marry on a girl seven nights a week and objects to have any one call her, and finally she finds herself unconsciously waiting patiently for his mother's demise." "But these cases are all simple to deal with. You can just say you will you: you contrast them with the system of wordless wooing which is most confusing. It is impossible to come to any conclusion. Some men eloquently, and we believe them, or pretend to, and then others tell them truth and we disbelieve them. But the man who says nothing is hard to make out." "Those are the really earnest ones," said the Girl who Wrote Verses; "you know a poet once wrote about 'empty land' surrounding with words of vacant promise." A man who is absolutely mute has depth—"Yes; too much," broke in the Typewriter girl, "they go on looking voluminous." "But not saying a word," said the Fashion Illustrator, speaking for the first time. "Yes; I know that kind. Those are the foxy ones." "I knew one," said the Fluffy girl, blushing slightly, "who called on me quite loudly, the violets and candies; but never—well, always acted with verticeless politeness." "Yes?" said nearly all the members in our breath. "Ooh, however," went on the Fluffy girl, "rudely attempted to kiss me in the hall—" "Well," said the girls in chorus.

"I think you could easily detect a collar," said the Woman's Rights girl. "Naturally, I was indignant," said the Fluffy girl. "You will notice," said the Widow girl, "that a cowardly man always kisses a girl on the nose or the ear and then prepares to attack." "I should never forgive him," said the President, emphatically. "I looked at him sternly for several moments," said the Fluffy girl, "while he positively coward before me. Then I began. I had made up something to say when so dreadful should occur. 'Sir!' I said. "Do he speak?" asked the Medical Student. "No-I expected him to speak, but he only stood there looking foolish, so I only had no idea why you should act in such a manner." I thought you were a gentleman. I shall never speak to you again under any circumstances. I shall tell my brother." "Did he seemed scared?" "No, he only said: 'Oh, I wouldn't do that.' You were what. You do what you think of that." "You made a mistake," said the Widow girl. "You should have laughed and it would have made him so mad that he would have proposed right off. When in doubt what to do always laugh. You will man will do any desperate thing to make him so serious proposition. Many a man has proposed under such circumstances."

I therefore write to say that I have decided to accept the friendship, which you offered me and shall hope to use as usual tomorrow evening at 8."

"In the rain it is as unpleasant as possible. The weather is a mutual discomfort. It creates a bond of sympathy. You get one of the really balky ones, take him out in the rain and walk him about." The Fluffy girl wrote rapidly, underling her notes. She refused the toasted marshmallows tendered her politely on a leaf in her book to keep the quail. he looked like the sort of man that nothing could frighten.

By and by he won't want to go out any evening, for he knows some of the fellows are sure to drop in to contemplate his happy surroundings." "I don't think men are worth no much self-sacrifice," said the girl who taught Sunday school. "It too much like leaving a mountain top for the level of the earth," said the girl on the mountain peak. They look up to the mountain peak. They look up to the mountain peak. "Yes, they look up to it and spend their evenings on earth," said the Widow girl. "And here you are." "I knew a girl once," said the Medical Student who cured her husband of staying night tightly. "I used a methodive effect. She at first copied not having the advantage of a clut like this--she even wept. She said she was afraid to be left alone with the serenity of a safety messenger service. And some sort of company guaranteed to be on hand with an armed messenger two minutes after a button was pressed in the house. Then they gave police and all that, that made it perfect. "One night he came home and found a young man in the hall reading an evening paper. The young man explained that he was from the company; that the lady was nervous and had rung them up, so he concluded to stay. She thought he heard some one moving about in the hall and thanked him and went upstairs to find a girl. She said that once that young man was in the hall he felt perfectly safe. She said he looked like the sort of man that nothing could frighten. After that he used to be often there when the husband heard a steady rattle of chirp sounds on in the sitting room. When he went softly upstairs he found his wife playing poker with the guard. At first he felt angry, and then he thought he frightened him. He went to the room, threw down $10 and said sarcasticly, 'I'd like to get into this game, if you please?' She looked up curiously at him as though she didn't recall him. He get him one whole chip, she said she would have to leave. After that he stalled home nights." "That was a good plan," said the Widow girl, "almost as good as mine. When my late husband first gave sympathy, he was very proud of the variably alleged business. That's always the first excuse. So I would say it was too bad, that I had planned such a pleasant evening, and I would get into my most stunning display to illuminate the room and play the piano, but he not to delay and not to hurry back on my account; that I was a sensible woman, and besides some one might drop in. Then I would act my nervous and excited self, and I would be on until finally he'd say it was too late to keep the engagement—that a business man had to have some rest, anyhow.

Everybody cannot afford a prolonged jaunt; and many women, looking at the surface from which the means for travel must be found, feel full heads at the mere bit of going away from home. Everybody can manage a day's outing, and whether our home be in town or country, a little resolution, a little previous planning, and a decided acceptance of the worth while of endeavor will start on the journey. The thing to do is to take the road. We will go by carriage brought to the door, the horseback rider man on the front seat, and the back of the carriage filled with picnic baskets and presents for mother and Aunt Jane. BEAUTIFUL TUTUILA. Some Features of Our New Samoan Rependency. Tutula is, in many respects, the most beautiful of the Saman isles; though casual visitors often come away without that impression, owing to the frequent, almost universal presence of the Pago-Pago bay, which have a tendency to curtail excursions. It lies thirty-eight miles from Upoa, and is the third of the four largest islands, with 5 miles wide and 60 miles in circumference. Its outline is bold and pictureque, and presents striking evidence of volcanic origin. The waters of Pago-Pago bay, and the entire eastern portion, nearly two-thirds of its area, is a chain of well wooded mountains, with an average height of 1,000 feet, of which 500 feet are lava, intersected by valleys and ravines, and often extending almost to the sea. Except for the cocanuts upon the shore of Tutula, Tutula can have little or no commercial value. The western portion, however, though it has the same volcanic 'peneasure', has greater width of area, broader valleys, and a higher elevation. It is the most lofty peak, with a height of 2,250 feet above the sea level. From it one deserts southward to an undulating plain of considerable fertility, some 25,000 acres of which are covered by forest land, broken by occasional water- APRIL 1—KEY TO LOCATION OF NOTE—On the Street of Nations (G, H, J, K, 3, 4, 5) and buildings of various Governments, as follows: Beginning at the left (G, 3) Italy, United States, at the right (G, 3) Uruguay, Great Britain, Belgium, Germany, Norway, Spain, Monaco, Sweden and Greece. About the Elf Tower (G, H, 1, 3) are grouped buildings of Siam, Costa Rica, Ecuador and San Domingo. Near the Trocadero (M, 2, 3) Indo-China, Senegal, Algeria, Tunis, France, French Guiana, ways; and the soil is comparatively rich, producing most of the fruits and vegetables indigenous to the group. Beyond this, to the westward, mountains again prevail; though the country about Leone, in the northwest, has been the most populated section of the island. In Leone bay, also, there is fair anchorage; and in the settlement around it several traders of Apla have agencies. The total superficial area of the island is 340 square The entrance to Pago-Pago bay, between Breaker point on the east and Tower rock on the west, is three-quarters of a mile in width, with sounds of thirty-six sifh-fathers, and the tide of the tide wave and reef Tower rock, and connected with the west bank by a coral reef, is Goat岛, two acres in extent; and this marks the entrance to the inner bay. The latter is surrounded by lofty hills, which neutralize the influence of the tide wave and reef it secure from hurricanes. At various points along the narrow shore are native villages and the cacao groves; and low down on the hillsides breadfruit, bananas, oranges, taro, and yams grow in sufficient quantity to sustain the population. Fish is fairly abundant in the bay; and a sufficiency of fresh water is usually found in the small rivulets at the mouth of the mountain ravines. On the southwest coast of Tutuila, and on the northwest coast by a deep channel, lies the small island of Annu. This has an area of about ten square miles and a population of between 200 and 300; and it is chiefly remarkable for the alleged immunity of its inhabitants from the scourge of the sea. For the other samoan islands are more or less subject. Thanks to their isolated position and to FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES. In this country one party has always advanced ideas and the other has always vowed annexation of territory and the other has denounced it. Through the wet conditions the line of progress has always run and it has been the line along which will be found the beacon lights of human advancement and the same question is in the试听 now which was fought over when the Louisiana purchase was made, when Texas was annexed and when we acquired Calhoun's land.

We have also noticed that the anti-expansionis acquises in the acquisition of Hawall Porto Rico and Guam. He is silent as to the expansion of the islands on the Philippines. The main features of his argument thus fall to the conclusion that these islands, he thinks the Philippines are too far off for its application. Possibly if we offered these islands, if he saw the wealth of opportunities for industrial and commercial ventures, the crops of sugar, horticulture, the crops of sugar, horticulture, realize that they had a material value. The world knows little of the Philippines. The traveler arriving at Manila is astonished at the intramural city a splendid modern city. BUILDINGS.

There are about 350,000 people in Manila to-day. It has gas, electric light, tramways, water works and excellent macadamized streets. It and its suburbs cover an immense tract of land. It is situated on a beautiful bay covered with the ships of all nations; mountains surround it, and the Bay of Naples is not more beautiful. There are schools, colleges and universities, an observatory, and churches without number. The houses of the better classes are roomy, spacious and comfortable, many of them as elegant as any houses elsewhere, but the poorer classes live in nipa thatched houses, and some of them are built on piles and are raised from the ground. The grounds surrounding the houses are full of tropical fruits and flowers. There is a general air of comfort and style in Manila, and the same conditions are found in all the important cities. Society in Manila is elegant and re-fined. At entertainments the ladies dress in the latest Parisian fashions, wearing in addition the native panuelo-a handkerchief worn over the shoulders. The gentlemen are garbed in conventional black. I attended several balls which were given by native residents. As far as the accessories of fashionable life are concerned, they were not different from such affairs in any American or European city. On the noted drive, the Luneta, there are to be seen a great many fine euphrates. The gentlemen whom one meets are courteous and educated. Many of them are graduates of the old Dominican and Jesuit colleges, and have a scholarly bearing which no education which is not classical ever gives. I do not wish to be understood as asserting that intelligence and culture are general in the Philippines. The country might be divided into three groups. In one, which might be called the Luzon group, and in some of the Visayan islands, there may be found today a sufficient number of people to materially and intelligently assist in forming a government. In a second group, covering some of the provinces of Luzon and some of the Visayas, the population is not capable of intelligent political action. $2.40 PER YEAR. tion and would require considerable tutelage, while in other provinces, including New York, the people practically uncivilized. In the case this it is not to be expected that these provinces, in general, are regulated, but the commission in its report will discuss, minutely and specifically, all these matters. The products of the islands are tobacco, sugar, rice, hemp and copra, the twenty varieties of valuable woods, the twenty varieties of valuable lead, silver, gold, copper, iron and coal. The climate varies with the altitude. The Biodiversity and the temperature is cool and the delightful to live in. It goes without saying that the soil is wonderfully producing. The considerations which would induce motion to throw away property so valuable that it would be urged are mostly sentimental, or based on long seated political prejudices, or on the trailing reasons why we should keep the Philippines. It is generally received as true that the trade and commerce of a dependent state. We would enjoy, therefore, nearly all of the eight or ten millions of people. It is therefore what figures trade with the Philippines would advance. The custom house at Manhattan Mexican dollars every month as sustaining but trade between the islands is dead, and the people are crowded with ships liding at anchor. We have an enormous Pacific coast, in the event of war with any country its outposts in the Pacific. Consider the momentous question. If Dewey had met disaster at Manila we would have had no choice in the small ship which to take refuge; he could not have cooled or repaired his ships anywhere in the Pacific. As government is organized chiefly for the protection of the people, natural and human resources should be to protect our commerce on the far East. All nations take such steps. Russia, England, France, Germany, have seized port facilities and the far East are told to stand by and let the world help itself to every strategic point without making an effort to secure one for us. We are not interested in small in his shell, and not presume to leave our own continent, not even to secure protection, and, above all, not to increase our material prosperity. The writer has been treated to much advice and instruction, intimated that the controlling question was whether it would be safe to defend the territory was whether it would be understood, however, that all the barriers to humanity sigh for wills to come to the Philippines with our domination. We are learning English today in the public schools of Manila will be endowed with rights and privileges that their fathers We are Republicans. We would seem to enslave a nation or race. By holding the Philippines we have a vantage ground in the far East for some manner of control of Eastern polity. We become an Asiatic power. Should any power undertake to partition the vast empire which is rapidly becoming the best market in the world for Western manufactures we should speak with emphasis if thirty of our war ships floated anchored within fifty hours' sail of the China coast. The term "imperialists" should not mol团定 all the indignation. The miners, the manufacturers, the railroad builders, the merchants, the shipbuilders, the owners and the farmers need not to folen wrath when they hear that our policy should be to stand like the "poor boy at a frole" whenever the scene is laid outside of the Golden Gate. Tongueltied, hands tied, powerless, we must rehearse again and again the cry of nonintervention in foreign affairs, although overproduction may glut our markets and beggar our industrials. Our young men, too; may they not fitly ask a field for their energy, their industry and their talents? They see the youth of England building up empire in Africa and Asia. We have few "overseas" men except the missionary, and we do not value him at his true worth. These men have dotted China with concessions and become towns and cities, have toiled under the sky, and have ploughed with their keels every ocean, and the mother country owes to her commerce and her worldwide development. The problem to-day is what to do with the adventurers, educated youth. They will be adventurers, educated youth. Their other occupation is overcrowded. Let us give them a chance, as the youth of Asia, to live in Eastern lands. The Philippines, in fallow to their hands; let them enter the sea; let the ships she ought to be, the Queen City of Asia; let the natural termination of an inter-land connection be on the lines to India and Australia and over the way the continent or Asia. quote from the preliminary report of the Philippine commission the following: "Rich in agricultural and forest resources, as in mineral, commanding in geography and in geography, the Philippine islands should soon become one of the great trade centers of the East. New developments in the American occupation already since the American occupation already connect Manila with Australia, India and the natural terminus of many other canals connects the Atlantic with the Pacific and yet others will inevitably be attracted to the development of the Philippine coal deposits. "The building of a short railway line has enabled the crop of rice of the archipelago to be increased, and the commerce that under an efficient administration of the archipelago will greatly increase, and the commerce a large share in this increment. Manila, the immunity which it has thus far enjoyed, is the best banicule, should become a distributing center for China, Siam, the Stratales and Tonguin, Annam and Australia." The question of what form of government should be given to the Philippines now is a question which, as recently taken will have considerable weight. The problem in the Philippines was was the government for all the archipelago first let that government create provincial and then move to the archipelago. To commence at the bottom and build up. Defective Page The latter plan was adopted. Many of the occupies who were on our troops were givenUMP citizenship. Filipino has some trouble to find out how he came to vote for, but he is learning. It is novel. Following up the plan of reconstruction, the next step was to give a constitution to the country, and to issue a military order issued by Gen. Otis. There is a military governor with the office, a city governor, and a legislature elected by the people. It is possible that some of the provisions would strike the anti-imperialist as being the whole scheme in a balkan rebellion. YOU READ THE APPEAL THE APPEAL.

Statistics concerning ownership or tenancy of homes are being eagerly awaited by many persons who realize the importance of these statistics as a means of showing the real prosperity of the Afro-Americans. Defective Page Reports received from recent conferences and conventions in the South indicate encouraging progress of the race in industrial knowledge and in the number engaged in professional pursuits. Such reported gains can best be proved beyond dispute by census facts bearing on the ownership of homes among the Afro-Americans. These statistics will be made up entirely from the replies to the questions of the census enumerators. No matter what the dwelling is, whether a humble cabin or a fine residence, if it is the abiding place of a family its ownership will be taken and recorded by the census. Whether the occupant is in debt for his house or his land or has bought on a contract, he is an owner. Every householder is either an "owner" or a "tenant." It is believed that one of the most gratifying facts to be developed by the census will be the greatly increased number of the Afro-American race who have succeeded in becoming owners of their homes. Money makes the mare go, and money goes when the Democratic donkey is running. Watch our per capita circulation dwindle away during President Cleveland's last term: Now watch it grow again while the Republican team of thoroughbreds— Protection and Prosperity—are in the traces: 1897. 1898. 1899. $22.49 $24.71 $25.60 A pretty game of see-saw, isn't it? Down, down, down goes the money circulation under Democracy, and up, up, up it goes during a Republican administration. Exportations of manufactures will amount to $400,000,000 in the fiscal year which ends with June next. When the Republican party came into power in 1861 and inaugurated the protective system as a permanent policy they were barely $40,000,000 per annum. Then manufactures amounted to 12 per cent of the total exports; now they form 30 per cent of the enormously increased total. Yet there are people who will gravelly tell you that the country can never have a prosperous foreign trade so long as it retains a protective tariff. The scarcity of American merchant vessels was only too palpable during our war with Spain. But the Boer trouble has intensified it by absorbing British transatlantic liners, delaying our commerce and hindering the quick transportation of our foreign mails. We should be as independent on the sea as we are on land. We can beat the world in manufacturing and land transportation, but we lack the facilities for transporting our goods by sea to foreign buyers. LONDON LETTE From one who is Enjoying a Visit in Hold Hingland. Buston Hotel, London, March 4th:—Arrived in London Saturday, March 3rd, at 2 o'clock; went to the theater Saturday night and today visited some things in London. This morning, interesting things in London. Curiosity Shop," Gray's Inns, the shop of the building where "Pickwick" was written, and the Tower of London, London Bridge and the Tower Bridge, London Bridge and the Tower Bridge, London Bridge and the Tower Bridge, which you will remember in English history. We saw the mint and the soldiers on duty, the Cathedral of Saint Paul and Saint Mary, the Blue King "tower" is the place where kings live, in which the boys all wear blue jackets, yellow stockings and no hats from the time they enter. We heard the Chimes on St. Mary's and St. Paul's, the statue of Wellington—the statue of Waterloo. We passed Holborn Restaurant supposed to be the finest in the world, which has kings', queens' and dukes' dining halls; also visited the "Temple," the statue of Knights Templar was originated and the temple was carried the remains of many crusaders who they have lain for years. Here we saw the tomb of Oliver Goldsmith. We visited the restmaster and the House of Parliament. Being Sunday, everything is being looted, restaurants, etc. Saw White Hall, where Charles I was beheaded, and arriving there at an even hour, the extreme and rare pleasure of seeing the Guard changed. They stand, horse and carriage motionless for an hour. From there we went to Piedilly and Mall, Hyde Park, the Marble Arch, the King's Palace of Wellington, and Buckingham Palace, a abode of R. H. M. Queen Victoria, a abode of Row and many other things. We then returned to Euston Hotel and rode up in a "lift," and had our "ugly robe up" to me. I was in "Fish-Mongers Stall," up to the Thames. We leave London to meet morning at 9 for Dover, from Dover to Calais and from Calais to Park. Cincinnati Politicians Disappointed by Millionaire Candidates Attitude. Cincinnati, O, March 30—The regular Republican candidate for mayor, Jerry Fleischmann, the young millionaire, proved a disappointment in the way of a successor. It was expected that he would put up enough to run the campaign. It has developed that Felschmann is very sensitive on the point of having been nominated on account of his birth, and has declined to contribute to George B. Cox, the Republican leader, or even pointed: "I want to be elected mayor, and will try to land the place, but I'll be hanged if I will buy the place." Those who have hitherto found wealthy candidates easy to touch have been staggered on approaching Fleischmann's office by running up against door marked "Private," guarded by a colored boy in livery, who extends a silver tray, with "Card, please."

Indeed, a single green nut sometimes furnishes nearly a half a gallon FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES. (Continued From First Page.) to the natives. They nearly injure it. They had a hot election recently. Possibly, they were creating money spent, as sometimes happens with a distinguished friend of mine had two friends running for governor, and, to get them to vote, he left the island and came to Manila. Has such a thing ever happened? My readers will think I am treating serious questions in a trivial manner, but, really there is no occasion for heroic rescue of the people. The questions to be handled are plain and simple, but little without practical difficulty. The great intelligence of God the Wise is the answer. Admiral Dewey, and the labors of a well educated colleague have blazed a way of momenting the questions which are pressing. And afterward, what? When peace in a business loosely prevails, the air amount of self-esteem will make what shall we do with the Philippines? I warn my countrymen not to throw this last apple of discord in their midst. They would demand independence to-morrow, or the day after, or the next year—and, perchance, there would be another bloody insurrection. The Filipinos were born under a tropical sunfall and the blood courses hot in their veins. Surely no American desires to oppress them. Surely the most enthusiastic of expansionists, from the great president who will do the most to shape their destiny down to this humble writer, desires and hopes for the good and the prosperity of the Filipino people. Civil government under military control should be established whenever it can be done with safety. No more should now be done, at least until the insurgents submit to our rule. Let us follow Talley-rand's advice to diplomatic agents. "Let us go alow!" WITH THE SAGES. If a man is faithful to truth, truth will be faithful to him. He need have no fears. His success is a question of time—Prof. Phelps. A holy life has a voice. It speaks when the tongue is silent, and is either a constant attraction or a constant reproof—Hinton. The thing the wonder is the desire to wonder and to rest at once, to be astonished without labor or shock of the mind—Alice Meynell. It is very easy to find many who use their riches well, but difficult to find one who can support poverty with greatness of soul—Aristides. Things are what they are and the consequences of them will be what they will be; why then should we wish to be deceived?—Bishop Butler. Sin taken into the soul is like liquor poured into a vessel—so much of it as fills the mouth and the fringe go together—South. The moderate are often called cold by men who think themselves more warm than other men because a transient glow comes over them.—Goethe. The Word of God will stand a thousand readings; and he who has gone over it most frequently is the surest of finding new wonders there.—Ham the Shepherd. We must know ourselves. If that may not serve us in the discovery of truth, it at least serves us to regulate our lives, than which nothing is more meet and proper.—Pascal. Some people keep their religion as they do their umbrellas for stormy weather, and hope to have it within reach if a dangerous sickness overtakes them.—Theodore L. Cuyler, D. D. STAGE WHISPERS. "Lord Byron," a romantic drama based on the life of that poet, is to be presented in the east soon. "In theatrical astronomy," said Nocker, "there are no fixed stars."—Philadelphia North American. Bowery actors in New York have formed a labor union. Well, acting has come to be a mechanical trade.—Buffalo Express. Penn—Scribbler, the playwright, has reason to thank his stars. "Bushe "Why?" Penn—If it hadn't been for it, the stars have fallen fast."—New York Journal. "Ahl" said the Sherlock Holmes of the play, "this bandit must have been a bad actor." "Wonderful," cried the doctor. "How did you guess it?" "Guess it!" replied Holmes. "See here, the remnants of cold vegetables flung at him as he made his exit."—Philadelphia North American. "Oh, she is dreadfully ambitious. She actually has stage aspirations." "Well, many a young woman has been attacked with that complaint!" "But not so severely as she. Why, she actually talks of going into vaudeville the first thing, and giving 'Juliet' the gd-by entirely." -Indianapolis Press. SAGE OF SAWHAW SAYS. When a man stands abashed he had best sit down.

D., President Atlanta, Ga. EGKSTEIN NORTON UNIVERSITY CANE BRING, BULLTOWN, RY. "Industrial training will set to motion ten thousand wheels." REV. WM. J. EMONS, D. D., L.L. D. THE LOCATION. The Eckstein Norton University is situated at Cane Spring, Ky., twenty-nine miles from Louisville, Ky., in one of the most healthy and quiet settlements in the State—the county being what is known as a prohibition county for many years. The building and grounds are on a lofty hill of rich, rolling land, surrounded on all sides by mountain streams, dashing miniature extracts, high mountains, peopled with timber of many varied species. In this quiet retreat away from the bustle of city life, free from the unhealthy seductions and allurements of places of vice and unwholesome amusements, one finds study easy, recreation helpful, and the physical powers developed and secured. All this plays no important part in a student's life, and is aptly suited to talk who desire to prepare for an active life. DEPARTMENTS Literary, Photography, Cairoton Work, Tailoring, Apiaculture, Barber Shop, C異 The above departments are under competent professors and instructors—graduates and specialists in the branches they teach.

Joe Brooks, a teamster, narrowly escaped being killed in a runaway accident Wednesday afternoon, and but for the promptness of J. B. Covington would at least have been seriously injured. He was driving with a load of furniture near the corner of St. Peter and Exchange streets when his team became frightened and started to run. Some of the furniture fell from the wagon and Brooks was thrown with it to the ground. The reins became entangled about his body and for some distance he was dragged along the ground. Mr. Covington seeing his danger run out and at the risk of injury to himself, stopped the horses. Brooks was badly bruised under the wheels of the wagon, but his injuries are not regarded as dangerous. -oy- Frank G. Bell.

An illustration of this is furnished in Shirley and Landeck's powerful romantic - pay "A Grip of Steel" which will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House next week. Fate has cast the lot of Rojarre, a man of physical strength among criminals. He is the leader of a band of desperados in Paris; but, in the pictureque village of Rongival, some miles away he is known as Gaston L-Maire, a simple farmer. He is devotedly attached to Henrietta, his wife, who is blind. He guards the secret of his double life successfully for years. UNFORGIVEN — GOD' HELP ME' NOW."

Finally Edward Gandelin, a traitorous member of the hand shattered Roijarre's dream by informing the police that Gaston LeMaire, the simple villager, is Ronjarre, the outlaw. This announcement proterates Henrietta with grief. The officers summon her and ply questions as to the whereabouts of her husband who has fled. She steadily refuses to utter words which may send him to death. Gandelin, however, gives the detectives the scent and Ronjarre is captured. The traitor then takes morbid delight in informing Henrietta that her husband is on his way to execution. The shock kills her. Ronjarre then swears to be avenged. By a clever ruse he makes good his escape from prison, discovers Gandelin as a mastard ball in Paris and fulfills his row. He strangles Edouard, but in the struggle, he himself fails fairlyounded.

ELECTING THE MAYOR Continued from 4th Page. picked up a vote here and there, while there was little change in the Smith vote until the Ninth was reached. Here he gained nine. The unders drew from all the other three. Here is the result: Second Ballot for Mayor.

The Second wards along Schiffman reeved, Schiffman getting the host of Schiffman on the new division. The Third ward gave Smith two more new votes. There was no change in the Fourth or Fifth, but the Sixth and Seventh were popped out, Schiffman gaining five and Schiffman round dozen. The Seventh was steadfast, but the Eighth practically settled matters. Klefer had had twenty-four votes here and Smith but three. Chairman Mabon and twenty-four for Schiffman and twenty for "Schiffman" votes more than the ward was entitled to, and when the freaky among the Smith partisans had calmed a bit an attempt was made to correct it. This time the attempt was made to correct it. This time two votes too many and twenty-two for Schiffman. Still there were two votes too many and considerable time had elapsed before it was finally recorded twenty-eight for Smith and the latter's chances might have been total of 1144. This Schiffman gave Smith total of 1144. Schiffman gave Smith the latter's chances might have seemed the better chances it might not have known that the Ninth stood ready to throw in thirty-one for Smith and that the Tenth would probably be able to throw for Smith was possible if the ballot could not win. Schiffman could not win. Accordingly the Sixth ward started the procession Smithward by a solid vote announced by Dr. Hawkwa. The rest fell on Mr. Smith's nomination was accomplished. THE PLATFORM.

SMITH REPUBLICAN CITY CONVENTION NAMES A WINNING TICKET. Chester R. Smith Is Nominated for Mayor on the Third Ballot—Leaders of the Defeated Candidates Join in Making it Unanimous and Pledge Their Enthusiastic Support for the Nominee— One of the Most Enthusiastic and Harmonious Conventions Ever Held in St. Paul—Strong Council Ticket Council Ticket. "The most盛大的Republican convention that ever assembled in the city of St. Paul." That was what Dar Reese said it was when it came time to adjourn, and Mr. Reese but echoed the sentiment of every delegate who in the convention, and of the Republican leaders who watched its proceedings. Victors and vanquished joined in common congratulations. The sharpest kind of a light for the chief nomination had been conducted in the very best of spirit. The winner was hulled with unanimous acclaim. His chief competitor had tendered his congratulations and profited his support and that of all his friends. And then the convention turned to and completed the strongest ticket ever offered to the citizens of St. Paul by any The spirit of harmony and good will characterized every act. Every difference as to the expediency of any nomination was forgotten the moment the majority had declared its will. There wasn't an exception. The vote on the veto ended with the party absolutely united for the whole ticket and every worker prepared to hustle until the polls close. The Friends of the defeated candidates will vie with one another to give the successful ones the largest majorities in St. Paul for the Republican ticket. Contest for Mayor. The chief contest was for the mayoralty nomination. As was indicated by the preliminary campaign and by the results of the primaries, Fred C. Schiffman went into the convention the leading candidate in a field of five. The sight had been a warm one and it was perhaps to be expected that the field would combine and it was equally obvious that Chester R. Smith was the only candidate upon whom the record in two ballots, showing a slight gain on the second. Mr. Smith was second, Mayor Klefer third, Ald. Reeves fourth and for-year. Mr. Smith had gained on the second ballot also, all the other candidates showing signs of weak-ness. Landslide for Smith. When the roll was called the third time it became evident that Mayor Kiefer's friends were going to Smith, although he breakup from the breakup. When he reached and Ernest Mabon threw the Kiefer vote in that ward, twenty-four strong. It was evident that the fight was over. Mr. Mabon had a hard time getting his vote announced and he had to correct it a couple of times. This gave the other words a chance to think it over, and he was able to correct Dr. Hawkins, of the Sixth, was ready to change the vote of his ward practically unanimously to Smith. George W. the general of the Reeves forces, was clamoring for a chance to deliver the solid Fifth. Then Andrew Holm cast in the second round a score of 575 of Schliffman in the Eighth place and joined their colleagues in the Smith column. The Ninth hadn't been called. It was one of the strong Smith words he started, and this time it was unanimous. While all this was going on the convention was in an apron. The Smith partisans were wild with success, and they held a ring with their shouts. Gen. H. W. Chirp, with Smith in nomination, succeeded in making himself heard above the tumult to move that his candidate be given a unanimous nomination. Then Dar Reese stood up on his chair. He wore just as cheerful a suit as he held the field, wore, and waited a moment for the silence which fell upon the convention when he was observed. *Dur Reese, Seconds It.* Dar Reese itself provided. He was making a gallant display for the candidate of his choice. He had set his heart on the nomination of his friend and had thrown all his influence and effort into the contest, sparing no exertion that would count for success. And yet he was not alone in the contest to the will of the majority of his party associates, accepting defeat and congratulating the victors in the whole soiled, maniacous way that is characteristic of the man. "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention," he said. "If there is anything that characterizes the friends of the Republican, they are earnest Republicans, and ready at all times to support the nominee of a Republican convention. They have made a magnificent fight against great odds. It is hard to believe that the Republicans, morality, and challenge them to give to Chester R. Smith the same loyal, enthusiastic support that the friends of Fred C. Schiffman have. I second the motion to nominate him. W. John W. Finehout, of the First, where Schiffman has his greatest following except in the Fourth, pledged 1,200 majority for Mr. Smith, and the nomination was with a cheer that shook the building. Cheers for the Next Mayor. But the love feast was not quite over. C. K. Reese, of the Reese were designated a committee to bring the successful candidate before the convention. He appeared Secretary Parker proposed three cheers for the next meeting. He joined in an outburst of enthusiasm. Mr. Smith did not attempt to do more than express his thanks and to pledge the convention a business administration for the city. "I expect and know that I will have the support of every Republican in the city," he added. He supported later Mr. Schiffman was discovered upon the platform. He was halled with an outburst of cheers as he advanced to the chairman's desk, and he proceeded to voice for himself sentiments as loyal to the choice of the party as those that had already been exonerated. He was the trace of disappointment. In his appearance, his manner or his words. He might just have won the hard-fought battle, and his little speech rang out sincere and true. Said he: **Schiffman's Loyal Stand.** "I have just been informed that the convention has narrowly escaped nominating the best man ever proposed for the president of the Smith. I have been burning the midnight oil for some time preparing a splendid speech which I had expected to deliver at this convention." "Give it to us anyway, Fred," shouted a delegate. "With my friend, it was intended for another emergency, but the executives of the people have spoken. For the first time in ten years I have not been a delegate on this floor to move to make unanimous the vote for a successful candidate. I say to my friends, make it unanimous here and make it unanimous at the polls. "I desire to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the friends who stood by me. While this campaign has been seen in figurative form, we could get the support we gates-and the non-support of others—there may have been some bitter things said. But that is all over. "We Republicans have done a good deal of about giving 5,000 majority to our televised debate about doing it, but get out and go to work and give my friend and your friend the majority we have been promising." And then Mr. Schiffman took his account of the debate. Fourth ward delegation and participated in the latter proceedings of the convention. Controller and Treasurer. It goes without saying that Controller McCormick's suit has been expected at any time. It took two ballots to select the candidate for city treasurer. Assemblyman Nelson on the first call, but on the second call, he was chosen, who was second in the running, and his nomination was also made unanimous. Bobby Ticket. The nomination of the Bobby Ticket. the nomination of the accomplishment. The list of nine includes but three new imames. Messrs. Nelson, Denny, Dix, Warner, Benson and Craig were again named. As the convention was held on day or two ago, the convention made no mistake in honoring these genefield could unite. Mr. Schifman led on the public service which merits the same recognition. The convention of the city that was extended by the convention again presenting them for election to the council.

Clapk Is Elected Tem- porary, Chirchman. porary Chickman. The convention was late about the usual designation, but there had been some confusion about delegates' badges, some going to the Windsor and more directly to the hall. There was evidenced an intense interest in the proceedings, and before the appointed hour had passed, the badges had limit of its capacity, and the main floor was crowded with delegates, guests and spectators, who wore neither the blue nor the red badges, which desigated those who occupied the stage. The stage gradually filled up with prominent representatives of the party. Among those who occupied this point of vantage were H. W. A. Yale, Thomas Cochran, Dr. S. G. Smith, E. G. Rogers, Dr. J. H. Smith, J. C. Kirkle, Dr. L. Krynzubuhl, H. C. Nairl, F. H. Griggs, J. J. McCary, C. H. Bigelow, Jr., Horace E. Bigelow, B. W. Smith, F. S. Bryant, Hercherman Johnston, George C. Squires, Arthur J. Stobbart, B. S. Schurman, Judge R. W. Reisel, B. S. Schurman and Judge R. W. Reisel. The seating capacity of the main floor was just sufficient to accommodate the 336 delegates. On the left of the stage, Fifth, Eighth, Tenth and Eleventh ward delegations. In the center section were the representatives of the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, Tenth and Eleventh ward, on the right of the chairman were the First, Ninth, Sixth and Seventh wards. A marked spirit of conciliation prevailed during the temporary organization of the convention, in the situation that had arisen over the question of who should call the convention to order was harmoniously solved by Senator Morton who gracefully yielded the claim THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER Everybody Wants a NEW SUIT About Easter Time.

(which he might have pressed) to wield the gavel as chairman of the city executive committee. Charles R. Smith, the chairman of the county executive committee, and the mayor was agreed that B. J. Piecha, vice chairman of the city organization, should preside. This conclusion was announced to the convention by Mr. Horton, and Mr. Piecha took the chair. Sim P. Childs, of the county convention, nominated Moses G. E. Clapp as the entire convention might have confidence as a fair and impartial presiding officer. Mr. Clapp had been agreed upon by the steering committee representing the Klefer, Moses G. E. Clapp, and it was expected that the final nomination of Schiffman strength would be developed in opposition. "But partly as a personal compliment to Gen. Clapp and partly from a disinclination to draw the lines so early the Reese arose to second the nomination. "I am glad to be in a Republican convention where peace and harmony prevails," Mr. Reese. "The friends of Fred C. Schiffman are perfectly satisfied with that eminently fair gentleman, our distinguished fellow citizen, Gen. Clapp." When Gen. Clapp was introduced he thanked the convention for this evidence of confidence in his fairness. He said: "We have been the temporary chairman of this convention. I would say that whatever may have been my triumphs in the past, I regard this as the highest compliment that could have been paid to me. I would not trespass upon your time or patience with the organization. There will be abundant opportunity for that during the campaign. "Whoever may be selected as your candidate, he shall receive my heart and unqualified support. Although our contest was not a formal act with deliberation and fairness, that our choice may be ratified at the polls, as a forerunner of a glorious victory to win in the coming November election." Walter Chapin named C. B. Parker, of the temporary secretary. A good deal may be expected. Parker was intended, and both were elected. The latter, however, declined to serve. Then followed the designation of the usual committees on credentials, resolutions and permanent organization, each consisting of one delegate from each ward, a ward of ward delegations, as follows, the names appearing in the order of the wards: Credentials: Alexander Lindahl, H. J. C. Malone, Johnson, H. J. C. Malone, W. E. Bacon, B. Parrish, Arthur Cines, J. John Larson, Thomas M. Montone, Jr. John Larson, Thomas M. Montone, Resolutions-C. K.

Whitney, George Brookins, Dr. G. A. Dallimore, N. A. Dallimore, France, P. F. Leomis, Henry P. Schwabe, Following the appointment of committees a thirty-minute recess was taken. At the expiration of this period it was evident that the credentiales committee met, and a recess was taken to 2:10 p.m. CONVENTION ORGANIZED. Contests Are Settled and Temporary Officers Are Retained. **Officers Are Retained.** The crush which marked the morning session before the hour of assembling the gallery was full to overloading. The police at the doors, under orders to recognize only the delegates and guests' badges, evidently forget their instructions, for the gallery was full up, and the press was so great that it entered in the rear of the hall were seriously encroached upon and inconvenienced. But it was a good natured crowd and the delegates simply had to do the best they could. The committee on credentials had spent an hour and a half in considering the contests. The contest in the fifth precinct of the Third ward between Sam Hass and Sam Lowenstein resulted in a victory. The ninth precinct of the Fourth was defeated, doubt, and the committee sent S. P. Childs and Albert John, making an equal division. The controversy in the first precinct of the Second was settled by seat-taking, giving each half a vote. H. F.

The report contained the context between delegation and the advantage of Schiffman and that he gained four and one-half votes in all. The report was adopted without objective reference, of the Fourth, reported for the committee, of the organization, continuing Chairman Clapp and Secretary Parker and adding Clarence Storms, of the Third, as assistant The wards named the following committee to select candidates for the assembly: Mat Jensen, H. J. McIntosh, George W. H. Miller, Harry Griswold, George F. Dix, B. R. A. Anderson, Jens Pederson, W. H. Gruenhagen and Fred W. Root. This brought the convention to the real business which was awarded with such interest, the nomination of a candidate for mayor. ELECTING THE MAYOR Chester R. Smith the Choice on the Third Ballot. Third Ballot. The first ballot developed any startling surprise. As a matter of fact not one of the candidates showed the strength that had been claimed for them, but it was significant that Mr. Smith came nearer to the estimate than did any of the other candidates. The Tenth for Reeves. Schiffman lacked the unanimous support of the Fourth, and Smith had all but one of the Eleventh. The other wards divided among at least three candidates, and the First and the Second each of the five. Schiffman did not show as had been expected in the First, but exceeded expectation in the Eleventh. Smith was strong in the Seventh and ran next the Ninth. The ballot resulted as follows. First 47 8 29 2 1 1 7 Second 19 8 19 1 3 1 7 Third 19 8 12 1 3 1 7 Fourth 29 33 1 1 24 1 Fifth 29 28 7 10 9 0 Sixth 29 28 7 10 9 0 Seventh 48 14 28 28 0 Ninth 48 13 4 8 0 1 Tenth 12 11 1 1 1 1 Eleventh 12 11 1 1 1 1 Total 183 68 116% 71% 40% 17 There was some delay in polling the delegates, but the s-end ballot was cast with reasonable expedition.

Smith Is Nominated for Mayor on the Third Ballot—Leaders of the Defeated Candidates Join in Making it Unanimous and Pledge Their Enthusiastic Support for the Nominee—One of the Most Enthusiastic and Harmonious Conventions Ever Held in St. Paul—Strong Council Ticket. "The most splendid Republican convention that ever assembled in the city of St. Paul that awaited Darren Reese said it was when it came time to adjourn, and Mr. Reese but echoed the sentiment of every delegate who sat in the convention, and of the Republican leaders who watched its proceedings. Victors and vanguished joined in common congratu- his little speech rang out sincere and true. Said he: Schiffman's Loyal Stand. "I have just been informed that the convention has narrowly escaped nominating the best man ever proposed for mayor of St. Paul—except Chester R. Smith. I have been burning the midnight oil for some time preparing a splen- The sharpest kind of a fight for the chief nomination had been conducted in the very best of spirit. The winner was the winner, the champion, the competitor had tendered his congratulations and proffered his support and that of all his friends. And then the convention turned to and conquered the highest ticket ever offered to the citizens of St. Paul by any party. The spirit of harmony and good will characterized every act. Every difference as to the expediency of any nomination was considered. The jury had declared its will. There wasn't a sore spot left anywhere, and the convention ended with the party absolutely united for the whole ticket and every vote was close. The friends of the defeated candidates will vie with one another to give the successful ones the largest majorsities ever rolled up in St. Paul for the Republican Contest for Mayor. The chief contest was for the mayoralty. nomination. As was indicated by the pre- liminary campaign and by the results of the primaries, Fred C. Scalfman went into the campaign the leading candidate in a nomination. He was the only candidate one and it was perils to be expected that the field would combine and it was equally obvious that Chester R. Smith was the only candidate upon whom the morpha w a pumph o aum o aum o aum o aum nomph o aum o aum o aum o aum o aum o aum second. Mr. Smith was second, Mayor Klefer third, Ald. Reeves fourth and for- mer quing uung uung uung uung sam gained on the second ballot also, all the other candidates showing signs of weakness. Landslide for Smith. When the roll was called the third time it became evident that Mayor Kiefer's friends were going to Smith, although they were not yet ready to start, and from the breakup. When the Eighth reached and Ernest Mabon threw the Kiefer vote in that ward, twenty-four strong. It was evident that the fight was over. Mr. Mabon had a hard time getting his vote announced and he had to correct it a couple of times. This gave the other wards a chance to think it over, and Mr. Mabon recorded Dr. Hawkins, of the Sixth, was ready to change the vote of his ward practically unanimously to Smith. George the general of the Reeves forces, was clamoring for a chance to deliver the solid Fifth. Then Andrew Holm cast in the nineteenth of the Third. The score of the vote was 75 to 25, and joined their colleagues in the Smith column. The Ninth hadn't been called. It was one of the strong Smith wards that started, and this time it was unanimous. While all this was going on the convention was in an apron. The Smith partisans were wired with success, and they were able to win the convention. Gen. H. W. Childs, who had placed Mr. Smith in nomination, succeeded in making himself heard above the tumult to move that his candidate be given a unanimous vote. He was up on his chair. He wore just as cheerful a smile as if his own candidate had won, and waited a moment for the silence which fell upon the convention when he was obeyed. Dar Reseecs Seconds It. Dar did himself proud. He has been making a gallant fight for weeks for the nomination, and he has heart on the nomination of his friend and had thrown all his influence and effort into the contest, sparing no exertion that would count for success. And yet he was able to win the convention to the will of the majority of his party associates, accepting defeat and congrat- Intentional Duplicate Exposure upholding the victors in the whole-souled, magnanimous way that is characteristic of the man. "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention," he said, "there are anything else that they are earnest Republicans, and ready at all times to support the nominee of a Republican convention. They have made a magnificent fight against great odds. It is not a question of morality, or priority, and challenge them to give to Chester R. Smith the same loyal, enthusiastic support that the friends of Fred C. Schiffman will. I second the motion to make this nomination unanimous." Joel Finehout, the nominee of Chester R. Smith, and his greatest following except in the Fourth, pledged 1,200 majority for Mr. Smith, and the nomination was made unanimous with a cheer that shook the building. For the Next Mayon. But the love feast was not quite over. C. K. Sharood and Messrs. Finehout and Reese were designated a committee to bring the successful candidate before the convention. When he appeared Secretary of State, he cheered for the next mayor, and delegated his efforts joined in an outburst of enthusiasm. Mr. Smith did not attempt to do more than express his thanks and to pledge the convention a business administration for the city. "I expect and know that I will have the support of every Republican in the city." And a few moments later Mr. Schlumberger was discovered upon the platform. He was hailed with an outburst of cheers as he advanced to the chairman's desk, and he proceeded to voice for himself sentiments as loyal to the choice of the parties that had already been exonerated from the trace of disappointment in his appearance, his manner or his words. He might just have won the hard-fought battle, and his little speech rang out sincere and true. Said he: "Schliffman's Loyal Stand. I have heard that the convention has narrowly escaped nominating the best man ever proposed for mayor of St. Paul—except Chester R. Smith. I have been burning the mid-90s with some time preparing a splendid speech, but expected to deliver at this convention." "Give it to us, anyway, Fred," shouted a delegate. "My friend, it was intended for another emergency, but the representatives of the people have spoken. For the first time in ten years I have not been a delegate on this floor to move to unanimous the vote for a successful candidate. I will make it unanimous here and make it unanimous at the polls." "I desire to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the friends who stood with me and made it happen been on we have all been figuring how we could get the support of some delegates—and the non-support of others—who have been some bitter things said. But the "We Republicans have done a good deal of talking about giving 5,000 majority to our ticket. I any now let us quit talking to the president. I any now work and give my friend and your friend the majority we have been promising." And then Mr. Schifman took his accustomed place with the Fourth ward to work and give my friend and your friend the later proceedings of the convention. **Controller and Treasurer.** It without saying that Controller McCardle has been expected at any time. It took two ballots to select the candidate for city treasurer. Assemblyman Nelson had the first roll call, but on the second the president was second in the running, and his nomination was also made unanimous. **Assembly Ticket.** The nomination was accomplished in the Committee. The list of nine includes but three new names. Messrs. Nelson, Denix, Dix, Warner, Benson and Craig were again named. As the convention was held on day or two ago, the convention made no mistake in honoring these genefield could unite. Mr. Schiffman led on the public service which merits the same recognition. The convention of the city that was extended by the convention again presenting them for election to the council. They represent careful, conservative, honest administration in the upper reaches of the council, and it is a safe predicate of the convention. The convention has added George D. Hammond, of the Second; Howard Wheeler, of the Fourth, and H. T. Drakes, of the Seventh, in the places of Assembly, City and Kirkhe, who were not candidates. These gentlemen possess all the qualifications which have so marked the present assembly, and the people will make no mistake if they continue the upper house politically Republican as it is at this time. The Aldermen: For the board of aldermen most of the nominations are new. Messrs. Knauft, Bell and Shepard being the only members of the present board nominated. A majority of the nominations unknown at present, but they will get over that before election day, and the Republicans of their wards vouch for them as able, honest men. Their electors will be able to compare favorably with the assembly. No serious difficulties will be encountered in electing this ticket. It goes before the people resting upon the administration, so conservative and economical, with which exception can be taken, which exception can be taken, that the party cannot be put upon the defensive. Ald. Reeves a gallant fight. His unanimity as long as there was a bigg of his nomination, in spite of the fight that was attempted to be made against him.

The convention was late in about the usual degrees in getting together. There had been some confusion about delegates' badges, some going to the Windsor and more directly to the hall. There was evidenced an intense interest in the proceedings, and before the appointed hour had arrived the gallery was packed to the limit of its capacity, and the main floor was crowded with delegates, guests and spectators, who wore neither the blue nor the red badges, which designated those entitled to admission. The stage gradually filled up with prominent representatives of the party. Among those who occupied this point of vantage were Hon. W. A. Yale, Thomas Cochran, Dr. S. G. Smith, E. G. Rogers, J. E. Martin, Elmer H. Dearth, W. T. Kirke, Frank L. Krayenbuhi, H. C. McNair, F. H. Griggs, J. J. McCardy, C. H. Bigelow, Jr., Horace E. Bigelow, B. W. Smith, F. S. Bryant, Herchmer Johnston, George C. Squires, Arthur J. Stobbart, Bernard Zimmermann, S. H. Reeves, C. S. Schurman and Judge E. W. Bazille The seating capacity of the main floor was just sufficient to accommodate the 336 delegates. On the left of the stage, arranged from left to right, Fifth, Eighth, Tenth and Eleventh wards delegations. In the center section were the representatives of the Third, Fourth and Seconda wards, while on the right of the stage were the First, Ninth, Sixth and Seventh wards. A marked spirit of conciliation prevailed during the temporary organization of the convention. The somewhat embarrassing question of who should call the questioner of who should call the questioner was harmoniously solved by Senator Norton who gracefully yielded the claim THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER NEW SUIT It is therefore advisable to place your order early, as tailor-made garments are not thrown together like the Puerto Rican Tariff Bill, or a hand-med-own article.

(which he might have pressed) to wield the gavel as chairman of the city executive committee. Charles R. Smith, the chairman of the county executive committee, and the mayor was agreed that S. J. Plea, vice chairman of the city organization, should preside. This conclusion was announced to the convention by Mr. Horton, and Mr. Plea of the county. P. Childs, of the Fourth, claimed presided over the convention. Moses E. Clapp as a man in whom the entire convention might have confidence as a fair and impartial presiding officer. Clapp had been agreed upon by the steering committee. Smith and Reeves forces, and it waspected that the first, showing of the Schiffman strength would be developed in opposition. But partly as a personal compliment to Gen. Clapp and partly from a disinclination to draw the lines so early in Reeves arose to second the nomination. "I am glad to be in a Republican convention where peace and harmony prevails," Mr. Reese. "The friends of Fred C. Schiffman are perfectly satisfied that eminently fair gentleman, our distinguished fellow citizen, Gen. Clapp." There were seconds from most of the wards, and Secretary Selb was directed to cast the ballot of the convention for Gen. Clapp. The wards were designated a committee to escort him to the stage. When Gen. Clapp was introduced he thanked the convention for this evidence of confidence in his fairness. He said: "In accepting my nomination and electing me to the convention, I would say that whatever have been my triumphs in the past, I regard this as the highest compliment that could have been paid to me. "I shall not trespass upon your time or patience with a speech. There will be advantage opportunity for that during the campaign." "Whoever may be selected as your candidate, he shall receive my heart and unqualified support. Although our contest in this convention may be spirted, let us consider the choice of our choice may be ratified at the polls, as a forerunner of a glorious victory to be won in the coming November election." Walter Chapin named C. B. Parker, of the University for temporary secretary. A good many members of the Parker intended, and both were elected. The latter, however, declined to serve. Then followed the designation of the usual committees on credentials, resolutions of permanent organization, each constituent having been named by the ward delegations, as follows, the names appearing in the order of the wards: *Mittalus*—wonder Leader. H. K. F. McIntosh. G. Johnson. Henry Johns. C. R. Parker. W. B. F. Bourn. H. S. Furchild. Arthur Cunyler. J. John Larson. M. Mont. Resolutions-C. K. Sharock, Sam Brant, Edward C. Wergedahl, Theodore E. Bunker, B. Thompson, E. E. McDonald, John W. White, E. E. McDonald, John W. Snodgrass, C. N. Akers, Robert Deakin Permanent Organization—Dr. A. W. White, Ph.D., President; Dr. E. Donaldson, George N. Warren, L. La Prance, F. P. Loomis, Henry F. Schwabe, and Dr. A. W. White, President. Following the appointment of committees a thirty-minute recess was taken. At the expiration of this period it was evident that the credentiales committee was present, and a recess was taken to 2 c'clock. CONVENTION ORGANIZED. Contests Are Settled and Temporary Officers Are Retained The crush which marked the morning session was even greater in the afternoon. Before the hour of assembling the gallery was full to overlowering. The police at the doors, under orders to recognize the officers, bagged, bagged, evidently forgot their instructions to the lower floor speedily filled up, and the press was so great that the delegations in the rear of the hall were seriously encroached upon and inconveniented. But it was a good natured crowd and the delegates simply had to do the best they could. The committee on credentials had spent an hour and a half in considering the contests. The contest in the fifth precinct was the ward between Sam Haas and Sam Lowenstein, the victory for Lowenstein. The ninth precinct of the Fourth ward was also in doubt, and the committee seated S. P. Childs and John Adams, making an equal prefect of the controversy in the first precinct of the Secondary both delegations and giving each half a vote. H. F. Schwabe was given a place in the Eighth ward delegation. The Report was read by W. B. Bourne, of the University on the opening of the afternoon session. Mr. Bourne a number of names of vacancies occurred which did not influence the result. The report contained details of contexts between delegations worked advantage of Schiffman and that he gained four and one-half votes in all. The report was adopted without objective criticism of the Fourth, reported for the committee, the organization, continuing Chairman Clapp and Secretary Parker and adding Clarars, of the Third, as assistant secretary. The wards named the following committee to select candidates for the assembly: Mat Jensen, H. J. McIntosh, George W. George, H. J. McIntosh, Harry Griswold, George F. Dix, R. A. Anderson, Jens Pederson, R. A. Greenhagen and Fred W. Root. This brought the convention to the real business which was awarded with such interest, the nomination of a candidate for mayor. ELECTING THE MAYOR. Chester R. Smith the Choice on the Third Ballot. The first ballot did not develop any startling surprises. As a matter of fact not one of the candidates showed the strength that had been claimed for them, but it was significant that Mr. Smith came first. He was the only one of the others. The only solid ward was Tenth for Reeves. Schiffman lacked one of the unanimous support of the Fourth, and Smith had all but one of the Eleventh. The other wards divided among at least two. The first and the Ninth gave one or more wards to the five. Schiffman did not show as strong as had been expected in the First, but exceeded expectation in the Eighth. Smith was strong in the Seventh and ran next the Ninth. The ballot resulted as follows: There was some delay in polling the delegates, but the m-2nd ballot was cast with reasonable expedition.
