calling him, the family ate dinner, and,
the child not appearing, became alarmed
and instituted search through the neigh
borhood. His hat was found in the yard
under some large maple trees. Nothing
could be heard of him until about o.
clock, when girl discovered him up in
one ofthe limbs ofthe maple trees, 40 feet
from the ground, asleep. The girl called
him, but he did not awake. and the stu
alton being discovered, his aunt prevent
ed eny noise being made until two boys
climbed the tree and awoke him, and he
was got down safely. 1t cannot be ascer,

There is great indignation among
Jewish Citizens over the refusal of the
proprietors of the Grand Union Hotel, at
Saratoga, to accumulate Joseph Selig-
man well known banker of this city, and
a,member of the Government loan Syndi-
cate and his family, with board this sea-
son, though they have stopped at the
Grand Union during every summer for
the past ten years.
1t Is said Judge Hilton refuses to admit
any Jews to the hotel, on the ground that
poor business was done last year, the chris
tians stunning the hotel because of the
presence Of many Israelites. An indgna-
ton meeting is proposed.

From the Nashville A'aertcpt,
About hslt-past 12 o'clock last night, q;
MIR. Casper Kuhn was approaching the stor,
of Mise Mary Kuhn, h.s sister, on NORTH
Summer street, near Monroe, he noticed
that the gas lamps on each side of the build
lug had been turned down. This aroused
his suspicious. He had no sooner entered
the yard than he saw u man trying TO bore
through one of tue shutters. Mr. Kuhn al
once opened fire, and the bsrglHr dashe
out of the gate aud along North Summer
street. The pistol shot had not been heard
by policeman Broderick aud Tindall, who
were near the corner OF Monroe and North
Summer streets. As the burglar came
dashing along Officer BroderIck ordered
him to halt, and the command not being
obeyed followed 1t with shot. The man
was then about ten yards off, aud as be
came up was collared by the two police
man.
The officers had hardly frightened their
grip upon the prisoner before, as II by
magic, they were surrounded by thirty or
fDrtv excited men. How they got there SO
quickly the policeman say is puzzle to
them One OF them who had handkerchief
tied over the upper part OF his face sa d
hercely: "This man is our meat" mo
put In Broderick, she is ours you must
not interfere with officers ofIhe law" Give
HIM to us, or you are a dead man." de
manded the unknown, aud as he spoke his
pistol was poked into Broderick's face. The
officers saw that resistance was useless !:
they were overpowered aud understood that
tue crowd meant business.
In half the time it takes to write this, a
rope was thrown over the burglars head
aud he was dragged off along North Sum
mer, then down Madison street to the
river. DR.. Haggard followed the lynchers,
but was warned off when he reached the
bluff. He distinctly heard LOUD shriek.

THERE is such a thing, much ridiculed
by the ancients, as coun ting ones chickens
before they are hatched, and much akin to
thls, at the present crisis, is the proposed
disarrangement of territory, as the result OF
the anticipated defeat OF the Sultan by the
Gar. One suggested change Is that Thes-
sally, Albania, and Macedonia shall be added
to Greece another, that England shall pur-
chase Gambia, which would be gain TO her.
aud annex Egypt, which would be a source
OF perpetual annoyance and expense third.
which may be regarded as a ''ixed fact. .
that RoumanIa shall become a Kingdom.

ria, down to the mountain range OF the Bel

Ject, already much talked about and written
about in Vienna, to unite Scrvia, Turkish
Croatla, Boshia, Hersegovina, and plucky
Montenegro, into a Kingdom under the
rule OF the Archduke Frederick, cousin of
Emperor Francis Joseph. This would In.
crease Austria's command OF the Danube
and strengthen her Adriatic frontier by civ
ing 1t a strong tel ritorial backing up on the
east. Something like this was on the taps
some fifteen years age, when the Archduke
maxlmlllan, who subsequently accepted the
nominal aud imperial crown of Mexico,
was named as a candidate for the crown of
Serva. The negotiations, 1t was said, had
advanced considerably until an unexpec:e d
obstacle arose. The King of Servia would
have TO be member of the Greek Churcn.
which is the faith of the country, but tradi-
tions OF the House of Hapsburg aud the
representations Of the Vatican vert so op-
posed TO any change of faltn, and year
after Maximilian's death Milan ObrenoviC
was allowed to succeed his uncle, who was
then assassinated in June, 1868, as Prince
of Servia.

The Americans are peculiar people,
jealous in good works. OF late years
nearly all their works have been con-
Quoted through the instrumentality of
conventions. This propensity Tor hold
ing conventions seems to be purely an
Americanism. Elsewhere people do not
run into the convention business to any
great extent. But in America, when
ever any matters of public interest are
agitated. the first thing is for the people
to rush out and hold a convention.
Doubtless the people could consider the
matter more thoroughly, and deliberate
better, quietly at home; but nothing
will answer 80 well as a conve ntlon,
where they can quarrel and discuss, re-
solve and re-resolve, and thereby have
their ideas clarified and rysta!ized into
some determinate form.
Political work IN this country is al
most entirely conducted under the aus
pices of conventions. Nothing is ortho-
dox until party convention has enun-
ciated the doctrine; and then it becomes
heresy to deny it, no matter what it may
be. And yet sinsularly enough, no par
ty ever expects or pretends to live up
10 the creed its conventions have
adopted. Moreover, SO latitudinarian
are the conventions, that 1t is not un-
common for the doctrines prescribed at
one to be rescinded and repudiated by a
subsequent one; and yet their adherents
are all the time swearing that they
never change their political principles.
Conventions are therefore great conVe-
niences. They correspond to labor
saving machines in the arts. They re-
lieve people from too much thinking. 1t
is comfort to be able TO have ones po-
IitIeal creed, like his breeches, made to
order; and still more convenient to find
them ready-made by conventions, and
warranted to fit. To vote for any man,
however worthy, for any office, not nom
mated by convention, has come to be
considered high crime and misde-
meanor next in atrOcity TO high treason.
But it was not always SO in this coun-
try. We are now as people one hum
dred years old; and the convention sy
tenn is not one half that age. Down to
1880 this country knew no such thing as
a national political convention. Pre-
Tious to that time nominations tor the
Presidency and Vice Presidency hau
been made by Congressional caucus.
But, in 1924, when their caucus nomi-
mated Mr.. Crawford (who afterward
became insane) Tor the Presidency, the
Republicans, then SO called, but after
ward known as Democrats, revolted,
repudiated Crawford, and nominated
Jackson, though Crawford remained as
the regular nominee of the caucus. This
revolt ended inbno election by the peo-
pie, and Mr.. Adams was made President
by the House Of Representatives. This
election ended the reign OF the caucus
system, and Congressman were deposed
from the power Of Emaking nominations
for the people. In 1928 Gen. Jackson
was put in nomination by State ConYep-
tions and triumphantly elected. But nc
National Convention was held.
The first National Convention OF
political nature ever held in this cOun
try, was held in 1880, the Anti-Masonic
National Convention. AT this Conyen'
tion no busipess was transacted beyond
passing some resolutions. and calling q
