As one of the speakers expressed It,
'Thc fight should be carried into tho
heart of Africa"
Several of the speakers expressed
tho hope that New York audiences
might have an early opportunity OF
hearing Mr.. Bryan and Judging of his
ability. AS to the choice OF natIon-
nj chairman. Mr.. Bryan waived tho
usual prcrosativc of candidate to
name the head of the committee, md
asked that the committee handle these
executive affairs entirely us they saw
ut.
Senator Jas. Jones OF Arkansas was
elected chairman of the Democratic
National committee Inst night. 1t had
been generally understood for some
time that he would be selected, though
not member.
Senator Jones was directed to select
an executive committee of nine mcni-
bers, of which he should be chairman.
He said he was too tired to make the
selection then anu was given such
time us he desired. He was also en-
powered to select n temporary secr.s-
tary. 1t is understood that the former
secretary, Mr.. s. p. Sheerin Of Indiana.

J. c. Monaghan, United States Con.
sui at Chemnitz. in report to the
state department. writes: There Is
now no doubt that New England apples
are welcome in the markets Of Ger
many. Here they have no apples to
compare with our Rhode Island green
ings, the Baldwin, russet, and north
ern spy. The Germans are very fond
Of apples. Their physicians recon-.
mend them as q most healthful ar
ticle OF diet. But their best apples
are by no means as good us the worst
we produce. There is no reason why
each year should not see us sending
millions OF dollars worth where we
only send thousands. A little expert
menting, with careful noting of re-
suits, will certainly reward the mer-
chants for their trouble. Boston.
Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia
in fact, all our Atlantic cities, whence
fast freight steamers cross to England
and the continent-should do a good
business in this branch. All that Is re-
quired is, little enterprise to put
them in the shops and littlo energy
with which to push them.

Chicago. July 12-In Madison Square
Garden, New York, carly in the month
of August. the Hon. William ]. Bryan
will be formally apprised Of the fact
that he has been nominated for prcsi-
dent. At the same time and the same
place the Hon. Arthur Sewall will be
notified of his nomination for the vice
presidency. This matter was decided
by the notification committee, which
met Mt the Palmer house last evening.
This action was taken ut the request
of Mr.. Bryan, who thought 1t would
be wise to open the fight in the heart
of the enemy's country.
The committee organized by electins
Senator White of California chairman
and II. L. Blake of Wyoming, secre-
tary.
The old Democratic committee closed
its work and adjourned sine die last
night and Immediately thereafter the
new National committee, which is to
conduct the coming campaign, met for
organization. The meetings were held
ut the committee parlor at the Palmer
house, both of the candidates, Mr.. Bry-
an and Mr.. Sewall, being present. by
request, to arrange the details of the
meeting of the Committee on Notifca-
tion. The nominees were the center of
attraction from the committeeman and
the crowds who were admitted to the
preliminary meeting Of the old commit
tee.

For several weeks protracted Meet
ing has been in progress at Kilmorc.
Cliston county, Ind, under tho direc-
tlons of Mrs. Mershon, and among tho
converts was Newton Sheets. who final
ly professed sanctihcation. Sunday, one
week ago, Sheets declared that ho
would neither eat nor sleep till Nathan
Rodenberger, friend, was converted.
and during the first few days he spent
tho time almost necessarily in prayer
for him. Rodenberger was obdurate.
and refused to be converted. and final
ly sent Sheets word that he might as
well have his grave dug. Sheets grew
thinner and thinner. and Rodenberger
more and more stubborn. On Sunday
night Sheets abandoned his self allot-
ted sacrifice OF food and sleep and gave
It up as bad job. Sunday night he
went to sleep from sheer exhaustion.

Omaha.
Omaha, July ia head-end collis-
ion that resulted in appalling loss of
life, occurred on the Chicago s. North

seven are dead and fifty-one injured,
many Of whom will die.
The wreck occurred us result OF
Engineer Montgomery of the excur-
sion train mistakins orders. He was
ordered to wait at Logan until the fast
mail and the east-bound passenger had
passed. He waited for the passenger
and then started out, having forgotten
about the mail. The trains were going
at the rate of fifty miles an hour when
they met three miles west Of Logan.
Engineer Montgomery jumped and es-
capped with a broken arm. The Of
ficIals of the road positively refuse to
give any information concerning the
matter, stating that 1t is something
that concerns them and not the pub
lie. They even refuse to handle West
ern Union business and all the infor-
nation secured comes by the Omaha
Bees courier service and by telephone.
Twenty-eight people were killed and
ffty-one injured. many of whom will
die. Twenty-four dead are identified
and the remains of others are SO badly
mutilated that Identification is hardly
possible, all semblance Of humanity
being crushed out of the corpses.
The hsad-end collision occurred
twenty minutes later on a curve.
The heavy freight passed par

people killed were I'm the front coach Of

ured were brought to Omaha. Most

ISsIDIoUs APPEAL.

It is an insidious and unworthy appeal
that Mr.. Bryan makes to the patriotic
instincts of an American audience, when
he seeks thus to arouse their prejudices
in favor Of financial policy. which it
seems he cannot otherwise defend. 1t is an
appeal to the greatest ignorance, of the
greatest number. Because all Of his in
telligent countrymen know, that however
strong and brave and patriotic people
may be, however ready they may be 20
give their lives and fortunes in defence OF
national integrity or national honor,
there are some things which are not com
mitted to national keepings, and that
recognition OF that fact in no wise in
wolves national independence or national
honor. Modern civilization, of which
commerce. and trade and intercourse are
the hand-maidens. is growth. 1t was
not created by law OF one nation or Of
many. Laws may hinder or obstruct, but

The sandstorm In New Jersey.

The face of the great sand PLAINS q
South Jersey have been considerably
changed by the recent high winds,
which caught up the sand and piled it
against houses, fences or any other OBJ
struction. Cuttings and bitches have
been filled in, great plies OF sand wer
caught by bushes and heaped up n
some places until the sand mound was
over 20 feet high, and some of the roads
are almost impossible, owing TO The
amount of sand which was blown on
them. The Pennsylvania railroad had
men at work day and night during the
storm to keep their tracks from being
buried in sand. The sand sifted into
houses and barns. covering everything
with a gritty deposit. Travel in TINS
part of the country during the hlgn
winds was almost impossible, for the
sand was binding and worked lnto
clothing so as to irritate the skin, While
hundreds of people are suffering from

Mans Dependence Upon Products BE.
meath tho Surface.
So slow was the advance in the util-
ization of the carth's products that
when our ancestors first came to this
country there were not more than about
20 substances other than building
stones or gems which were won to COM
nierce from the under earth. These
were scantily used; the amount of iron
required per capita each year probably
did not exceed five pounds, and the
amount of coal consumed was even
less. At present the annual consump-
ton Of iron in this country amounts
to about $50 pounds, and of coal to moro
than ~ tons per head. The num-
her Of Garth materials and their i'm
mediate products which enter into
the arts Is to be reckoned by the hun
drcds; each year the number augments
with surprising rapidity. Measured by
the quantity of the materials won from
the depths. the civilized man to-day, rs
compared with his ancestors in the
time Of Queen Elizabeth. has increased
his dependence on the under earth
by not less than so fold.-Prof. N. y.
