the growth and prosperity of our country.
He said: "Does 1t need TO be demon.

consideration of protection, more goods

State conventions Of democrats have
been held this week In Wisconsin and
Connecticut In both Of which States very
strong tickets have been nominated. In
Wisconsin James Morgan, formerly resi-
dent of Peru, In this county, was named
for Governor. He is dry goods merchant
doing heavy business. For Lieutenant
Governor Andrew Kull, an extensive
grower Of wool, was named. The ticket Is
able and popular, and will command the
hearty support of the parry In that State, as
we'll as draw largely from the labor party,
with whom Morgan Is so popular that had
he not been SO enthusiastically for Cleve-
land he would have been nominated by that
party.
The Connecticut convention was the
largest and strongest that party has held
for years, the number Of young men
among the delegates being a noticeable
feature Of the gathering The convention
nominated ex Judge l.. Is. Morris, we'll
known lawyer, who Is particularly strong
with the business men OF the State.
In both States the Presidents tariff re-
form and fisheries messages were approved
and applauded. The conventions were
also notable for the speeches made at the
close of the sessions,-by Secretary Villas
at Milwaukee and by Chairman Mills at
New Haven. The speech OF Villas was

THE FAMOUS C4nrnUsIAN TABLE

THE FAMOUS C4nrHUSIIN TABLE
Not a great way from Monterey,
eighteen miles northeast of Tampazos,
is the far-famed Carthusian table, one
of the greatest natural curiosities on
the continent. 1t is table-land /, 400
feet high and $500 above sea level
The figure of the table-land is an al
most perfect crescent, running east
and west, and on its summit are more
than eighty thousand acres of perfectly
level land, abounding in running wa
ter. The only way to reach the top is
by perilous roads, five feet wide and
three miles long. This singular mount
ain was named for the Carthusian
monks by former tribe of Indians who
occupied it and were taught by the
fathers. In the year 1896 q sergeant
in the Spanish army learned the secret
of its existence, and the King of Spain
gave him title to the whole of it It

Officially Notified Of His Nominati0n-Gen-
eral Harrison's Acceptance.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July D. The mott
fication committee representing the late
republican national convention yester-
day officially informed Gen. Harrison of
his nomination as the candidate OF the
republican party for the office Of presi-
dent. Thirty-thre members of the com
mittee were present.
At 11:3U the delegates, escorted by the
local committee of arrangements, took
carriages in front of the hotel and were
driven to the plain tsos CRY brick resi-
dence of Gen Harrison. The exterior
of the house was without decoration,
not so much as small flag being visi-
Bile, but many neighboring residences
were tastefully dressed in bunting. A
crowd of between 200 and 300 people
stood gazing before the house while the
committee alighted, and headed by
Chairman Estee and Gov. Foster, enter
ed the house in marching order. Mr..
Russell Harrison and Capt. M. e.. McLain
met the delegates at the door and escort
ed them through the hall into the pgglor,
being the center room between the
drawing room and the library. la the
latter rooms and the hall were crowded
the friends and neighbors of Gen. Har'
risop. including many ladies. The mem
bers OF the committee formed themselves
into semi circle around the parlor,
which was beautifully decorated with cut
flowers. Conspicuous among the pieces
was a beautiful floral flag OF double red
geranium blossoms, white balsmH, and
larkspeers. the whole surrounded by
roses, ferns and pansies, and resting up
right on the piano. Conspicuous above
the mantle hung very antique portrait
of "Old Tippecanoe,n z esidsnt William
Henry Harrison, while in the hallway
rested another portrait of the old warrior.
When the committee had al entered
the room at II O'Clock, General Harrison
and mis- wife came down the stairs, and
lust as Mrs. Harrison reached the last
step she tripped and fell on her kenes,
bat the general hastily assisted her to
arise and with admirable composure she
took the generals arm and entered the
parlor amidst respectful chances. Gen.
Harrison looked pale and eareworn, his
expression being one OF deep seric1sness

Afterward, in perfect calmness, he swal-
lowed the medicine. Meanwhile DR..
Cabell, who greatly loved him, went out
upon the lawn, and in his grief threw
himself down upon the earth under one
of the trees, weeping bitterly. Soon, when
he had sufficiently mastered himself, the
doctor came back TO his patient, whom he
found calmly watching the congealing of
blood under his finger nails and speaking
words of love and peace TO his family,
who we're weeping around his chair.
Among other things, he told that he was
thankful for that goodness of God, which,
having blessed him through all his life,
was then permitting him 20 die without
any pain. Finally, fixing his eyes with
much tenderness on his dear friend, DR..
Cabel, with whom he had formerly held
many arguments respecting the Christian
religion, he asked the doctor to observe
how great a reality and benefit that
religion was 20 a man about to die.
And after Patrick Henry had spoken to
his beloved physician these words in
praise of something which, having never
failed him in all his life before, did not
then fail him in his very last need OF IL,
he continued TO breathe very softly for
some moments, after which they who
were looking upon him saw that his end
had come.
