Test that with the leaders Weaver
was the choice Of the vast majority.
1t was not until the distinguished jurist
Judge Gresham positively declined to be q
candidate that the delegates turned to their
own ranks and with almost one
accord selected the veteran green
hacker as their standard bear
er. There were some who feared that
greenback predictions might affect his
availability, and it was these gentlemen

Dakota to the front; but the
sentiment that one Of the sold

was overwhelming, and Weavers triumph
was finally complete. Indeed the failure
otthe Gresham movement reacted promptly
and powerfully in Weaver's favor. The
friends Of the 1owans have contended for
several days that those who persist in be-
coming Gresham supporters were actuated
SO ely by the desire to defeat Weaver
The candidacy OF Kyle was effective only
IN humiliating the South Dakota friends OF
the senator. The senator wired that he did
not desire that his name should be
president to the convention. The senate.
finally said that if his nomination was de-
manded by the convention in the interest
of harmony he supposed he could not re-
fuse. -r..Es"
In spite of all the leaders, the sentiment
that the Peoples party presidential nom

was made at so a. M. July 5. u
In order to catch the South ern votes, a
Southern man-Gen. j. G. Field Of Virginia

The Cutting Power of Rivers.

We frequently see statements and esti- mates of the amount of sand and mud that is annually carried into the ocean by the great rivers of the world. No one who has seen a suddenly formed rain torrent cut a deep channel in a roadway can doubt the power of water to wear away the features of the globe. In fact it has been estimated that in about 5000, 900 years, if the present rate of denudation be continued, the whole surface of the earth will be smoothed off to one general level.
 But while it is easy to see how a river and its tributaries can rapidly cut their way through ordinary soil and sand, it able effects produced by water which runs over bed of solid rock.
 The Colorado river, for instance, flow ing between lofty walls of rock and upon a rocky bottom, is still deepening it's channel.
 The explanation of the cutting power of the water of the Colorado lies, as the Rev. Dr. Hutchinson, the geologist, has pointed out, in the fact that it is charged with sand, brought to it in great quan. titles by it's tributaries. This sand be- ing swept down the steep gradients of the river wears away the rocky bed as emery dust wears stone.
 Thus nature assists nature on all sides and the sand that frost and wind and water have formed out of the exposed rock of the mountains becomes, in turn, an instrument for channeling and wear ing away the better protected rock of the valleys beneath. Com | panion

HE GOSPEL CARRIAGE.
To Start Out from New Haven vii Evangelists and Bibles and an Organ

To Start Out from New Haven with
 Evangelists and Bibles and an Organ.
 The evangelistic omnibus, or Gospel Carriage" as it is to be called. will start out from New Haven within few days in charge of the Rev. J. c. Collins of that city, and another evangelist whom he will select. The carriage is to be sent out under the direction of the Society of Christian Workers of the United States and Canada. This society was incorporated about five years ago under the laws of the state of Connecti- cut with a capital of $6,000. Single shares are valued at twenty-five dollars. MT. Lewis B. Tibbals, of this city, who is the financial packer of the socie- ty, told reporter something about its work.
 "It is the aim of the society" said MT. Tbbals, ito aid in evangelistic work by furnishing carriages of this sort as we'll as railroad cars, wagons, tents and ev- erything needed by the varying demands upon the evangelist. Take the small towns little distance from the rail roads and they are apt to be destitute of religious influence. The Gospel carriage will bring the evangelist to them. He will be provided with Bibles and Chris tian literature, which he will dispose of among the people. The car will also contain small organ, to be used in the services.
 "The Gospel carriage is the most com plete vehicle for the purpose that could have been devised. It is about the size l of IA carry four persons besides the driver and it is so built that it can be closed up tight in case of storm. It is divided into two sections. In front is a mini ature kitchen provided with cooking utensils, and in the rear are the seats, with arrangements for four berths, which can be let down at night. The drivers bunk is built underneath the wagon.
 "In the rear of the vehicle is a folded platform, which can be let down when Its use is required. Hot and cold water is provided. MT. Collins will start out from New Haven, but think he has not yet determined upon his route. It will be the aim to carry the Gospel into places otherwise inaccessible. If the plan is found feasible other carriages will be placed upon the road in due sea- son."
 The president of the society which undertakes this work is the Rev. MT. Torrey, principal of Dwight l.. Moody's Chicago school for the education of evangelists. It holds its annual conven- ton next November in Fremont temple, Boston.
 MT. Tibbals is man of middle age who has long been connected with re- hgious work. He is the proprietor of a toy store here, but is citizen of Flor ida, where he is engaged in pineapple raising. He has plantation of 100 acres on the Indian river.-New York Sun.
