THE triumph of Quay in Pennsylvania
in all probability will lead to the presen-
tation of the name of J. Donald Cameron
to the national Republican convention as
a candidate for the presidency. He
would enter the convention backed by a
delegation almost equal in number to
that of New York. The western and
southern men may be forced to vote for
him in order to nominate a man who

ADOLPH EOSENTHAL DEAD.

Mr.. Adolph Rosenthal died
at noon Thursday in New York al
the home of his daughter, Mrs.
: Wormser. The remains will be
i brought to Louisville and the funeral
will be held at 2:9o Sunday after
noon from the Temple, corner of
Broadway and Sixth street. Early
in December, Mr.. Rosenthal went to
New York to consult with physicians
there about his sufferings from an
affection of the nervous system. A
few weeks ago he suffered a paralyt-
ic stroke and never fully recovered
from the shock. During the two
or three days previous to his death
he lost strength rapidly and sunk in
to mcOnsciousness.
Mr.. Rosenthal was born in Ger
many seventy-two years ago, and
came to America upon reaching the
age of manhood. He first made In
dianapolis his home, and while
there he became a charter member of
the B'nal Birth. He came to Louis
vile about twenty-seven years ago,
and until Jan. l, 1898, when he re
tired from business, was a success
full whiskey dealer.
Mr.. Rosenthal was married in
this country, to which his bride had
come from the town in Germany
where both of them were born.
Mrs. Rosenthal and five daughters
survive him. The daughters are:
Mrs. Sol Bamberger, of Louisville,
Mrs. Jacob Kahn and Mrs. Isaac
Kahn, of Bolivar, Tenn, who mar
ried brothers, Mrs. Leo Wormser
and Mrs Childs, of New York.
In his business dealings, Mr.. Ro-
senthal had the confidence and re-
spect of all he came i'll contact with,
and he was commended for his char
liable spirit. He gave cheerfully
to nearly all of the good causes
which were soliciting aid and always
sought to do so in manner that
would attract the least attention.
In social life, he was a considerate,
kind, genial companion, but it was
in the home circle that the best pha-
sss of his character were made rom
inent. He was essentially dOmes-
tic man who lived for his family,
and was notably affectionate.-
