SCRANTON. Pa, July 1.-The Demo-
cratic state convention for the nomination
of state officers met this morning.
Echley B. Cox was chosen temporary
chairman.
The platform urges the necessity of
tariff reform in the way of lessening tax
alton; proudly points to the admipistra-
ton of Cleveland in comparison with the
present administration; accepts the issue
of Quayism rendered by the late Republi-
can convention; a~rraigns the Republican
party for usurpation of power In the led
eral administration, for placing a dictator
in the chair of the house of representa-
tives, for its disregard to the civil service
law. for its failure to fulfill its promises to
the soldiers, for its efforts to promote
sectioualism. for reckless expenditures,
for fostering trusts in its tariff bull, for
failure to enforce the contract labor law,
for attempting to excite n race war by the
passage of the federal election law and for
corruption in elections and cringing before
a party boss.
After recess ex-Postmaster Harrity was
elected permanent chairman.
Robert Pattison was nominated for
governor on the first ballot. and Chauncey
L. Black for lieutenant governor.

FREMONT, Neb., July 2.-Abram
Rohr, a farmer living two miles north
west of this city, committed suicide by
drowning himself in the Rawhide Satur-
day evening. For some time Mr.. Rohr
has been living with his three children,
and on Saturday evening during a storm,
without speaking to any of them. he went
out of doors and disappeared. 1t was at
first thought hat he had gone IL the
barn, but as he did not appear again it
was afterwards supposed that he went to
a neIghbor's. Sunday morning the
neighbors were visited and no trace of
him found. His grandson then came to
town thinking he would be found here,
but not Sc. No particular alarm for his
safety was yet felt
This morning, however. the conclusion
was reached that he had drowned himself
in the Rawhide, a small creek flowing
through his farm, and which just now is
greatly swollen by the rains. This suspi-
cion was o confirmed by the discovery
OF his hat at the creek. Neighbors came
to the city to procure graphing hooks,
but before their return the body had been
found floating on the surface Of the water
and recovered. A ~coroner's jury was at
ono summoned and a verdict of suicide
returned.
The deceased was about sixty five years
old. His wife died a few weeks ago, and
since that time. while passing the ceme-
terry, he has been known to remark on
two or three different occasions that he
did not care how soon he was buried be-
side his wife. The coroner's jury was of
the opinion that he was of unsound
mind.

kidnapped by Her Uncle.

New YoRK, July 2-The steamship
State of Indiana arrived on Friday last
from Glasgow with a pretty little orphan
in whom the passengers took a deep in
terest. She is 7 years old. and her name
is Violet Nevine. j. q. Connolly. the
child's uncle, put her in charge OF the
stewardess, Mrs. Erwin, at Glasgow.
Violet told the stewardess all about her
past life. Both of her parents were dead,
she said, and for several years she had
been living with cousins of her father at
Kingston, County Dublin, Ireland. When
her mother died, a short time ago, MI.
Connolly. her uncle. decided to get
possession of Violet. He watched his op
portunity, and one day while the child
was out for a walk he drove past in a
cart and snatched the child up. Another
man was with him, and in a moment they
were gone with their captive. They took
her to Dublin, thence to Liverpool and
sent her here. She is to be taken to o
convent in Fort Dodge, Iowa.

FRANKLIN, KY, July 2.-For many
years swarms of bees have been noticed at
Fox Bluffs, near here. The bluff is ITO
feet high. Bees have been observed
about a big assure near the center of the
bluff, and the opening could not be
reached without great danger of being
stunR to death. As the bees had never
been robbed it was believed a large
amount of honey is stored in the cliff. A
well borer visited the bluff and after some
coaxipg, persuaded some farmers to un-
dergo the expense, aud a hole was bored
from the top of the bluff. AT a depth of
eighty-ive feet the drill struck the honey.
Barrels by the score we're filled and the
syndicate has sent for more receptacles,

New York. July John L. Sulli-
a is of the opinion that prize fighting
has seen its day in this country for a
time. if not for good. The champion
said: Il think the fatal fight at the
Golden Gate Athletic club, San Fran
cisco, is largely resnensiibiie fer the reac
ton against prize fights. Nearly every
state in the union has something to say
on the subject now. and the ministers
Lave commenced to preach against 1t. In
view Of the recent developments [ think
l am safe in saying hat it would be next
to impossible to successfully bring off a
big prize fight for some time to come. l
shall not fight again unless 1 am guaran-
teed that there will be no interference by
the law. l would like to meet Jackson,
and have said that l would do so. 1t
would be impossible to bring the battle
off in California without getting into
trouble, and Jackson's refusal to fight
anywhere else makes our meeting ex-
tremely doubtful"

spent an hour discussing the differences
between the two houses. They separated
at noon, having come to no conclusion.
1t is said there were three propositions
presented for consideration,
The conferees adjourned to meet to-
morrow. The houee conferees brought to
the meeting a copy of the bill as it passed
that body. and this formed the basis of
whatever discussion took place. A great
portion of the time was spent in general
talk on the subject. No definite PROPOSE
ton was before them. The conference

CHICAGO, July To-day Edward
Dickinson will assume the. management
of all lines OF the Baltimore & Ohio west
of the Ohio river. with headquarters in
Chicago. Mr.. Dickinson is one Of the

in the western railroad world and has for
years been identified with the Union Pa
ci6c, first as general superintendent and
for some months past general manager of
the Missouri river division, which com
prises all lines east of the Rocky noun
tains. While with the Union Pacific

If About to Travel or Emirrate,


The voyager cannot be provided with a
safer remedy and protective medicine
than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Album
dant testimony exists to prove that it
nulliies hurtful climatic influences and
the effects of exposure, that it r~econciles
the stomach to unaccustomed food, aud
prevents injurious results from I'm pure
water. Mariners, tourists, emigrants and
miners have all contributed their quota of
testimony in its behalf, and its protective
influence has been most effeotually dem
onstrated in regions and under conditions
where, if not really effective, that fact
would long since have been exposed. In
no class of disorders haze its remedial
and preventive properties been more CON
spicuously shown than in cases Of mala-
rial @fevers, maladies for which it is the
most popular specific in existence. both
here and in the tropics, where its reputa-
ton is scarcely second to hat which it
enjoys or this continent. 1t is, moreover,
a most agreeable appetizer and nervine.

Meetings and PartingS.

We walk about this little world to-
gether with our hands clasped. We
played together in the woods and field,
and our laughter mingles, and our
arms are entwined. We whisper to
each other as we wander round the
quaint old garden in the twilight, and
our lips are pressed together, and onr
eyes looked into one anOther's. We
bend lovingly over the same small
cot. We weep together over the same
grave. We sit together by the fire
side, and the Summers and the Win.
ters come and 60 and at last, one OF
us rising, smiles, and kissing the 9th
er, says 'good-bye," and goes out into
the darkness, closing the door behind
and the other sits alone. We have
known each others forms and faces,
the sound of one another's voice, the
touch of one another's hand, but our
real selves-our secret thoughts, our
minds, our souls they are strangers tC
each other. They have never looked
upon each other. They have never
met. We are travellers in a strange
land, who, meeting by chance upon
the road, have chummed on to one an
other, and walked the rest of the way
together. We have chatted and laugh
ed and joked and helped each other,
and after short while our roads have
parted, and we have fingered at the
crossways, watching him out Of sight,
little sad for a moment. How pleas
ant he seemed! how frank how gc cd
What sort of a man really was he Z?
we wonder. Shall we ever see him
again? All, me how sad it seems,
these meetings and these partings on
the road of life. How weary the dus-
ty way stretches out before us, when
our comrade has left us and we turn to
trudge on alone. How we wish our
journeys end was come. How we
shall hate lifelong miles. How cheer
less the way will be But, as we
walk, the soft breeze kisses our ache
ing eyes, and through the shadow of
the leaves the sunbeams dance and
play and little brooks are running at
our feet. and the birds are pouring
forth sweet music in the morning air ;
and in spite of US, and though we
struggle to retain our sorrow, and are
ashamed TO feel we are lightly made,
we can so soon forget, our heart is
leaping to the life around us, and ere
a few more miles are passed, we are
laughing gaily with some new-found
friend.

Cruel Cans.

The following protest from an article
in The Home Maker is none too strong
against The foolish, if not the barbar-
Gus, fashion of close-fttiDg white caps
for babies and little children rs articles
of street wear:
First, the thin material of the cap
drawn tightly over the top Of the head
is no protection whatever. Let Il
mother who has just sent her two
year-olS toddler out for an hour i'll the
bark with nothing on his head but Il
lawn cap, tie handkerchief over her
own head and sit half an hour III the
sun if she returns to the house with
out Il headache, she will be Il great en-
ception to the rule. Yet the thought
does not occur TO her that the baby,
whose head is much more sensitive
than her own, will suffer the same dis
comfort as long as he is in the sun.
Of course, a child in Il carriage, pro-
tected by shade or parasol, is saved
from this disadvantage Of the close
cap, and | am glad to say that some
caps are made with fancy puffed
crowns that obviate the difficulty but
[ am inclined to think this is done
more for ornament than comfort.
Second, is it not cruel, in warm
weather, when every breath of wind is
precious, to so cover the back of Il ba-
by's head and neck, his ears, and part
of his face that the air cannot touch
him? And there is not only the cap,
but the hair, the warmest kind Of II
covering, is pressed tight against the
lNnf
there is u profuse pcrspiration all over
head and neck and ears. And yet
many people think that because the
airy looking little things are SO thin
amt light they must he cool.
Third-and most important-there
is not the slightest shade afforded by
this perfectly brimlcss head-gear.
The little ruffle of lace or lawn is new
er put far enough over the face to hide
the "bangs;' - so the tender eyes are
utterly unprotected from the glare Of
the sunlight. Any woman would
think it perfectly barbarous if she had
to walk in the summer suh with only
a small bonnet on and no parasol.
1t is a pity that the old-fashioned
baby's sun-hats that were made in two
pieces, brim and crown, that buttoned
on to one another, has quite disap-
peared. In hat of this sort there
was fullness formed by the crown be-
ing larger than the inner edge of the
brim, that caused openings through
which the air could pass over the
head. They could be made Of pique
or even embroidery, and were easily
laundried.
Surely, in this age of dress reform,
we should reject fashion that so sac
rifices comfort and if any member of
the family should be exempt from du-
ty to "the STYLE" it is the little inno-
cent who cannot describe his suffer-
ings, and, not knowing their cause,
cannot ask for their removal.
