Convention adjourned at 10 a. m.
Fourth Day.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, July Ii.
The hour at which the Convention
adjourned last night, coupled with the
fact that the thermometer was close on to
the nineties in the shade, acted as an
effectual damper on the punctual In
stincts which SO far have characterized
the Convention. At ten O'Clock, the hour
appointed for reassembling, only twenty
delegates were in their seats and less
than half of the gallery space was &C.
cupied.
AN OVATION TO HENDRICKS.
Shortly after ten O'Clock Hendricks en-
tered the hall. As soon as he was recog-
nized the audience arose and gave him
an ovation, the cheering continuing for q
minute or more. He took his seat and
was soon surrounded by friends and po-
JOHN KELLY RECEIVED WELL.
The ovation which Hendricks received
was equaled by that which welcomed
John Kelly as he entered the hall, the au-
dience giving him three times three.
At 1850, President Villas arrived and
at once called the Convention to order.
Rev. DIR. Clinton Locke, of Grace Epis-
copal Church, Chicago, made the opening
prayer, calling upon God to direct the
proceedings of the Convention.
When the prayer was concluded the
chairman made an eloquent appeal for
order during the day.
Before the call of States on the second
ballot was ordered Pennsylvania with
drew the name of Samuel J. Randall.
The names of States which yesterday
failed to respond with names for National
Committee, were called, after which the
Chair announced the receipt of numerous
kilograms favoring various candidates,
which the Convention declined to have
read or placed on record.
THE ROLL OF STATES.
At IL :22 q. M, the roll of States was
ordered for the second ballot, on the
nomination of a candidate for the Presi-
dency:

there was demonstration lasting nearly
half an hour.
Hendricks arose after the demonstra-
ton and Kelly and Tammany crowded
around him. The cheering continued.
There was immense enthusiasm
During the entire demonstration Hen
bricks appeared to be in a great state of
agitation, although he smiled and tried
to converse with those around him.
When Illinois was called to complete
her vote she cast 50 for Cleveland, and
another demonstration broke out, this
time for the New York Governor. The
Convention VAS once more in an uproar,
the Cleveland men endeavoring to coun.
teract the effect of the Hendricks demon
stration.
When order was restored the ballot
proceeded, and after the roll of States
had been completed it was found that
Cleveland had Ats votes. Illinois led off
in changing votes and a stampede set in
to Cleveland which resulted in the fol-
lowing result.
Total vote cast $40. Necessary to
choice, 547. Cleveland, 6S3; Hendricks,
81 1-2; Thurman, Al; Mcdonald 2; RAN

Teach the Children to THINK.

Strength of mind is not equivalent to
per ect balance of Judgment, or even
ness of power. AS a rule. specially
strong-minded persons are given to sim
gle ideas, which are held with great
tenacity. Inventors represent this, as
we'll as advocates of particular IDEAS.
What is called strength of mind is
the result of independent thinking.
Hence it's basis is real thought. The
first element toward it is inducing the
young to think. Hence incorrect think
ing should not be rudely reproved, but
kindly and gently corrected. Every
encouragement should be given children
to think. Thought stimulates thouga 1t,
and hence living ideas put before chill
dren in the home circle. at table or
elsewhere, has its value in this direc-
ton. On the other hand, the rude re-
press on of an unguarded Or incorrect
thought is injurious. Encouragement
to hold fast to an idea till it is dis
proven is another step in this form of
education. The mere circumstance that
some one does not agree with it proves.
nothing. Nor does 1t follow that the
disagreement OF an older person is to
be accepted as final. Before an idea or
opinion is abandoned it should be salts
factorily seen to be wrong. The mo-
ment one accepts or abandons a thought
or opinion at the ipse darit of another
they betray weakness Leadership is
one thing and dominancy another. 1t
is well, if we have not the qualities OF
Leadership, to be willing to bs led; bat
to have our minds dominated and con-
trolled is another and entirely different
thing The important lesson to impart
to children is that of sound, indepe ndent
thought. And if it lead to strong mind
edness-that is, tenaoity of opinion-it
win be well-providedo opinions be care
fully and thoughtfully formed. Pssila-

characterized the story that Captain Perkins
had resigned from the navy to look after his
estates as untrue and said that he has been
ordered to duty on board of the steamer
Hartford. The captain applied for one years
leave, with view of resigning ct the end of
the year. The department, however, de-

Buried in a Well Two Men Crushed
Taken Out Alive.
WHEELING, June 16.-A well fifty feet deep
and about thirty feet in diameter intended
for the reception of new pump has been in
progress of excavation for some time at the
pumping station of the waterworks, ten men
being employed. AS the men reached the
allotted depth they we're annoyed by quick
sand and as a cave was feared a sharp eye
was kept on the heavy casing lining of the we'll.
About noon the soskage of water stopped
and this indicated trouble. The men were
ordered out. They stood about the edge
during the afternoon watching until $50,
when suddenly the timbers gave way on all
sides with a crash and the well enlarged to a
diameter of sixty or seventy feet. The men
sprang back, but two of their
number-John Smith, aged forty, of
WelIsviIIe, Ohio, and Patrick Scallon, of
East Liverpool, were too late and went over
the brink buried alive. After the first sur
prise was over the workmen went to the res
cue of their comrades and in ten minutes
Scallon had been uncovered and removed
alive. All efforts to find Smith, however,
have proved fruitless. A steam digger has
been set up and the work of rescue will be
pushed all night by large force. Smith s
wife and family of four children are at Wells

Sensation In q Council-Charges of At

TORONTO, June ia great sensation was
created in the city council tonight during a
discussion as to the acceptance of tender
for new pumping engine. In speaking to
question Of privilege Alderman homestead
stated that he had been approached and solic-
tied to vote in favor of the bid of the American
firm of Hally & Co. of Lockport. N. Y. He
read an affidavit duplicating one Pearson, an
insurance agent, and Lowell, Pearson's
brother-in-law, who he alleged had promised
him money for his vote and to
sufficiently recompense him for his
loss of reputation should he
be defeated at the polls next election. Alder
man Davis followed by stating that Lime
han, HolIy's agent, had offered to give him a
new pump for his brewery, for what purpose
had to be inferred. Alderman Hastings
stated that he also had been approached
Upon motion the matter was referred to the
county Judge, who will take evidence under
oath and report to the council. 1t was the
most disagreeable meeting ever held by a
public body here. There were several fights
among the members who called each other
liars and other hard names.

the recklessnes with which he spends his
earnings. 1t is especially noticeable in the
city bred. We are inclined to think with Dr.
Baar that the fault lies back in childhood.
Children are not taught when young the val
ne of the money they spend so thoughtlessly
for tribes DR.. Baar would have them work
for every cent they receive. 'I will not say,'
he remarks, 'tthat every triaing labor should
be rewarded. Oh, mol mean to say that
every child should perform certain duty,
and that in fulfilling this duty conscientiously
it should receive small amount Of money.
There are various duties with which we can
intrust child. For instance, the one can be
directed to keep the library in order; the
other can be sent out ON regular errands;
the third can be charged to assist the little
ones in their lessons the fourth can be en-
pleyed in copying letters or documents; the
fifth can be used to see that the house In
front and in the back is always kept clean
and tidy; the sixth can be told to collect OR
to pay our weekly and monthly accounts,
and the seventh and eighth can be made re-
sponsible for the order in the play yard and
for the neat appearance of the garden"

BANGOR, June 16.-Samuel Folsom, pen
sioner of the war of 1912, is dead at Lowell,
aged ITO. He was hard drinker, inveterste
smoker and one of the worst tempered and
most disagreeable of men. When he first re-
eeived his pension forty years ago he ordered
a hard wood coffin made, got into it and as it
was little too small had quarrel with the
carpenter and made him discount So from
the bill. The coffin was slowed away and
Folsom went to live il another part of the
town. A few weeks before he died he moved
back to the house where the coffin had been
left for decade and in few days was taken
sick and died. He was buried in the coffin.

no action showing disrespect for Earl Spsn-

with jeers and Kisses and the extremists pres

Belfast at this time. Several of the speakers
advocated the display of black flags along the
route of the procession and it is evident that
great bitterness of feeling at least will mani
