A Genuine waltham. Watch
Is interchangeable, like a Springfield rifle
that is, any part of Watch is exactly
like tho same part in another ; and if ton
Watches Of one grade were taken apart,
and the screws, wheel,, springs, &C.. were
mixed together, ten watches could be
made by putting these parts together
again, withuot any reference to their
former combination. This lisa

DEATH OF JAMES GORDON BENNETT.

A telegram of the LIST inst. announces
the death, in New York city, on the even
ing of that day, of James Gordon Bennett,
the founder of the N. Y. Herald. His
life presents an illustration of what we'll
directed energy and perseverance united
with capacity may accomplish, the rising
by degrees from the lowest to the highest
round of the ladder of fortune. He has
lived to witness the realization of his hopes
in his son and daughter, who are said to
possess in no small degree the ability and
distinguishing traits Of character of their
father. Mr.. Bennett was born in Banff-
shire, Scotland, about the year 1900, and
was educated at Roman Catholic semi
nary in Aberdeen, with view to prepar,
ing for holy orders in that church. Aban-
doning this intention in 1919, he came to
this country, and was employed for seve-
raj years as proof-reader, translator and
reporter on the New York and Charleston
press. In 1925, he purchased the N. Y.
Courier, but it not proving remunerative
he abandoned the enterprise. The sue
ceeding year he became Unidentified with
the National ADVOCATE, Democratic jour-
nal. During the Presidential canvass of
1928, he was the Washington correspon-
dent Of the of the N. Y. Enquirer, an
earnest advocate of the Administration of
General Jackson. 1t was during this time
that he wrote a series of articles on the
banking system of the United States, sus-
tanning the Administration of Gen. Jackson
and the Democratic party. In 1888 he
issued the first number of the N. Y. Globe,
month later he purchased an interest in
the Pennsy1ranian, a daily journal in
Philadelphia, Of which he became chief
editor until he returned to New York in
May, 1885, and established tho Herald,
with which journal his name has ever
since been identified The past few years
Mr.. Benefits powers have been gradually
failing, and his duties have devolved upon
his son, until at the time of his death his
connection with the Herald was merely
nominal
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1872-06-08
THE NEW YORK CONVENTION.

The platform of the Woman Suffrage
Convention, recently held in New York, is
given 10 another column. The convention
was we'll attended and remained in session
several days. The notorious Woodruff
withdrew from the convention, with few
of her supporters, organized another con-
veutiou, and was by them nominated for
President with Fred. Douglass for Vice.
So the Suffrage Movement is at last freed
from the reproaches that have been cast
upon it with her as one of its leaders.
Susan B. Anthony was elected President
Of the Association, and series Of meetings
are projected in the principal cities, and
the Baltimore aud Philadelphia Conveu-
tions will be requested to place the suffrage
plank in their platforms. More than this
cannot be done in the present campaign.
We observe that Mrs. Dunivay has ad-
dressed several large assemblies in the
metropolis, and her efforts have received
favorable comments Of the press. A Pa
ci6c Slope Suffrage Association will be
held in San Francisco, commencing on the
18th inst, to remain 10 session several
days. Distinguished advocates Of the
