When Edison Was Young.

81 was an operator in the Memphis
to the manager for position" said A.
g.. Rockefeller, q member of the Res
miniscence Club that was in session at
the Lindell. He came walking into the
office one morning, looking like YER
liable hayseed
"He wore hickory shirt, a pair of
butternut pants, tucked into the tops
of boots a size too large and guiltless
of blackning. "Where's the boss?' was
his query as he glanced around the office.
No one replied at once, and he repeated
the question. The manager asked him
what he could do for him. The future
great inventor proceeded to strike him
for a job. Business was rushing and
the Office was two men short, and almost
any kind of a lightning Singer was wei
come.
s'He was assigned to a desk, and a
fusilade of winks went the around OF
the office, for the jay was put on the
st. Louis wire, the hardest in the Office.
At the end Of the line was an operator
who was chain lightning and knew it.
Edison had hardly got seated before St.
Louis called. The newcomer respond
ed, and St. Louis started in on long
report, and he pumped it in like a house
a>fire.
edison threw his leg over the arm o,
his chair, leisarelv transferred wad OF
spruce gum from his pocket to his mouth
picked MP a pen, examined it critically
and started III, about 200 words behind
He didn't stay there long, though st
Louis let out annother link of speed
and still another, and tne Instrument on
Edison's table hnnmed like an old -style
Singer sewing machine.
s'Everv man in the Office left his desk
and e altered around the jay to see
what he Was doing with that electric
cyclone Well, sir. he was right on the
word, and was putting it down in the
prettiest copper plate hand yon evel
saw, even crossing his It's, dOtting his IFS
and punctuating with as much care as E
man editing telegraph for rat printers
st. Louis got tired by and by and begar
to solw down.
Edison opened the key, and said
Here, here! this is no primer class! Ge
a hustle on your Well. sir. that broke
St. Louis all up. He had been 'rawhid-
ing Memphis for q long time, and W.
were terribly sore, and to have man il
our Office that could walk all owe
him made us feel like man whose hors
had won the Derby. I saw the Wizard
not long ago. He dosn't wear a hickor.
shirt nor put his pants in his boots, blu
he is very far from being dude yet

DR.. f. V. Spencer, objected strenuously
to the character OF Senator Teller's remarks
and said that the president had never been
accused Of disregarding any part Of the
platform on which he was elected. He
thought it ought TO be taken for granted
that If reelected he would continue to obey
the win OF those who placed him in Office.
The conference then resolved itself into a
Blaine campaign meeting.
The Pennsylvania delegation elected SEN
ator Matthew S. Quay as chairman and
William Winthrop, of Pittsburg, secretary.
A vote on the presidential nomination re-
sulted as follows: Blaine, 81; Harrison, II,
and sherman, /.
An incident Of the meeting was the chad

preference by Chris Magee, of Pittsburg.
When the result Of the roll call was an

the President at a nan Game.

WASHINGTON, June While the politi-
clans ont in Minneapolis were pulling the
wires in Mr.. Blaine's interest. and while
the latter sat in his library congratulating
himself that he was no longer secretary Of
state, the Hon. Benjamin Harrison, presi-
dent Of the United Suites, was sitting in
the press box at the baseball park Monday
afternoon enjoying the struggle for su-
premacy between the Washington and Gin
cinnati teams with as much apparent de-
light as did the small boy who almost
roasted on the bleachers.
This was the first game the president has
attended this session.
Secretaries Foster and Uncle Jerry Rusk,
baseball experts, sat on either side Of the
president and commented on the successive
plays. The president was disposed 10 treat
the umpire with fairness, but several times
when that official called a strike on the
Washington players the president said,
''That ball was not over the plate, to which
Secretary Foster, who was ''rooting" for
Cincinnati took exception, and they firmly
contested the point.

HOW THE DELEGATIONS ORGANIZED
Warner miller Made Chairman by the
New Workers.

MINNEAPOLIS, June Last night the
different delegations organized for conYen-
tion work The New York delegation
chose ex-senator Warner Miller as it's per-
manent chairman. John Dwight, Of New
York, was elected permanent secretary

and vice president Of the action of the con
vention-Colonel Eliot +. Shepard, Of New
York.
Mr.. Platt claims that Mr.. Blaine will re.
ceive the votes of fifty-eight of the New
York delegates. A Harrison delegate made
the following estimate: Blaine, "a; Harri-
son, S3; doubtful, 5.
Tho Michigan delegation held a secret
meeting to determine whether they would
present Mr. Ayers name to the convention
or withdraw it, The announcement had
been made by Senator Stockbridge that
Mr.. Alger's name had been withdrawn. But
Mr.. Alger was not satisfied, and the meet
/ ing determined to present his name. Mr..
Dufield will place him in nomination.
The Iowa delegation reelected j. S.
Clarkson as a member Of the national com.
mittee.
Massachusetts, delegates selected W. W
/ Crapo as chairman, and Murray Crane
member Of national committee.
The Now Jersey delegates elected William
j. Sewall, chairman: George jenkins. secre

cific coast and neighboring states, the state
and territories represented were: Califor
mia, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Utah
Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico

delegates present. Senator Teller Of Colo
rado, was elected chairman Of the confer

ballot he would like to have the Illinois
votes thrown 70 him on the second. Ont Of
this probably arose the story, since denied
by Cullom, that he had letter in his pocket
from the president authorizing the with
drawal of his name on the second ballot
The Allison and Rusll booms gathered
strength, and even the Alger boom has been
galvanized into something like activity.
Ex-Governor Foraker is greeted with cries
Of "Our next vice president" in response to
which he smiles and shakes his head. Last
night Foraker made a brief address in which
he said that If Harrison was the nominee
the young men Republicans Of Ohio would
give him their hearty support, for they had
never yet sulked OF carried a razor. On the
other hand if the nomination fell 70 the
peoples choice the Republicans Of Ohio
would outdo themselves. lGreat applause ]
aGeneral Malone says: "There win be but
one ballot aud but two candidates Blaine
and Harrison. The talk about dark horses
is ridiculous; neither side can waste time or
votes in complimenting favorite sons. I
think Mr.. Blaine viii get the nomination. y
General Malone Is strongly Harrison,
and says, "By the eternal, Blaine is the
man"
