THE RAGMAN.

out Of the distance far and faint,
Up from the vale like flowers plant
Nearing slowly until IL seems
To die away like cali in dreams,
Swelling again TO leap with "A bound
To a whimsical crest like a wave of sound.
Now a quavcr and now a Quirk,
Now a twist like a vocal smirk,
Comes the cry
rags! Oh, rags! Any rags to buyP"
See him driving along the road,
Singing and shouting above his loadl
A tawny, grizzly, odd little elf,
Just bundle of rags himself,
With eyes that sparkle under his lashes
Like living Goals in the whitened ashesI
Eager alert, with his word Of cheer
For his raglike horse of the shaggy ear,
And still the cry
"Rags Oh, ragsl Any rags TO buyf"
On and on through the sun and rain,
Lifting ever his sole refrain,
Up and over the hills and down,
Counting the country side and town,
Always chirk Us a merry grig
Tuning under a lilac twig,
Always free as the wind TO roam.
The whole wide sweep Of the land his home;
And ever the cry
rags! oh, rags! Any rags 90 buyf"

Army Worms Appear on Gram
berry Bogs.
Cape Growers Are Filled With the
Greatest Alarm.

SANDWICH, Mass, July 15-The army
worm, which few days ago was found to
be ravagng the cranberry bogs in the vicin-
ity OF East Falmouth, has made its appear
ance on a few bogs in the cranberry growing
districts In this town, and this heretofore
unknown agent Of destruction will, 1t Is pre-
dicted, cause the cranberry growers great
loss.
Appearing at this season Of the year. when
nearly all the bogs are in full bloom, the
usual way Of eytermnating such pests can
not be resorted to, and unless the worms are
checked ut once the entire destruction OF
the boys on which they appear II certain.
The delicate upright branches OF the cram
berry vine, from which the buds are pro-
duc.d and on which the delicious fruit
hangs, are the parts which the army worm
attacks, and they are cut Off close to the top.
tho b0gs on which the worms have appeared
closely resembling recently mown lawn.
So far as II is known the army worms have
not begun their ravaging upon garden crops
or any other kind Of vegetation, and why
they have attacked the cranberry bogs Is u
mystery to the growers. Upon every other
occasion when they have appeared in this
vicinity the cranberry bogs were not visited
by them. and the discovery of them ut work
among the tender vines has caused the
greatt st alarm among the growers.
The bogs in Spring hill have as yet es-
"aped, but the worms are at work In large
numbers just on the outskirts Of the town.
and are Increasing in numbers and travel
ing at rapid rate. The prospects for big
crop Of cranberries in this vicinity were
never better than at the present time, but
should the army worms continue to make
the bogs their feeding ground small crop,
II any at all, will be harvested.
The army worms appear rs if by magic,
and their appearance is readily Diet cted
owing to the fact that they travel in vast
armies. Various methods to prevent the
spread OF them will be tried, but the ont
look Is not very favorable.

ECKELS AT HEAD.
New Organization Has Been
Started by the Gold Democrats.
Illinois Takes the Initiative With
Texas Following as Close Second.

CHICAGO, H., July l7-Sound none,
democrats of Illinois have taken the first
stepto call "a national convention which will
represent their views. Texas is close
second. conference OF leaders represent
ing the gold organizations in these two
states was held. at which the following reso-
lntions were adopted
"Resolved, by the sound money democrats
OF Illinois, that We are in favor of calling a
national convention of the democratic party
; OF the United States, for the purpose of
nominating democratic candidates for the
offices OF president and vice president of the
Inited States upon democratic platform,
and that to that end we invite the advice and
cooperation of the sound money democrats
of the other states of the union and be it
further
"Resoved, That the chairman of the
sound money organization Of Illinois be di-
rected to appoint committee to prepare an
address to the democrats of the United
States, stating the grounds and reasons for
putting national democratic ticket in the
field"
The states represented were Georgia.
Michigan. New York, Rhode Island. Texas,
Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois. The resolu-
tiOns. the adoption of which was moved by
ex-judge Moran, were unanimously adopted.
Probably the most vigorous and forcihle
speech of the evening was made by con-
troller Eckels, who occupied the floor for
nearly an hour. In ringing terms he de-
nOunced the silverites for their action in re-
fusing to recognize that their opponents on
the currency question had any rights that
they were bound to respect. He declared it
To be his belief that the only remedy lay in
calling national convention, to be com
posed of sound money advocates only. His
remarks were received with applause, and
were, later on, indorsed and repeated in Il
different form by many of those who listened
to them.

BRYAN IS SLEADER.
Nominated on the Fifth Ballot
Amid Great Enthusiasm.
Many Prominent Party Men Bolt
and Decline to Vote.

CHICAGO. H., July 17-In nominating for
the presidency of the United States, William
Jennings Bryan. of Nebraska. the democrats;
national convention broke all records. He
is the first man to take captive by the power
Of eloquence alone great political party.
General Garfield won his nomination, 1t is
true, by his personal appearance before the
republican convention of 1880, but behind
him lay in full view of the world, not only a
distinguished military record but career
in Congress extending over more than IL
years.
Mr.. Bryan's official experience has been
limited to two terms in the house OF repre-
sentatives, not 20. Among the 500 men who
nominated him, few have the least knowl-
edge of any part of his entire organism aside
from his eloquent tongue They know no
more about his will power. his temper in
leadership. his sadaptibility to executive tasks,
of his capacity for labor, than they know of
the same elements in the composition OF the
Ahkoon of Swat
He is the first delegate in II democratic
national convention since Horatio Seymour
in 1868 to receive the nomination for presi-
dent. No other democratic candidate for
president since Lewis Cass Of Michigan in
ls4S has lived west of Pennsylvania.
He is the first candidate for president on
either of the leading tickets who was born
west of Ohio and Kentucky the first native
of the newer west to achieve this honor, ex-
cept John G.. Freeman of California, in 1886.
He is the first candidate of either the repub-
leans or the democrats to he nominated
from IL trans-Missouri state.
No important party, ii any, ever before
nominated for president u man under 40
years Of age. He is four years short of that,
and perhaps six or seven years younger
than any former candidate.
He cannot remember an incident Of the

DEADLY FEVER in CUBA.
Hundreds of Spanish Soldiers Dying
of Yellow Jack.

HAVANA. Cuba, July ia panic prevails
in the Spanish army In consequence Of the
terrible increase Of yellow fever in the last
few days. 1t is estimated that fully 40 per
cent of the eases prove fatal. In Santiago
de Cuba there are 4 800 soldiers in the hos
pitfalls. Ma or general Linares Is stricken
and his life is despaired Of The physicians
and nurses are utterly incapable Of coping
with the disease.
The epidemic is also very serious oil
along the trocha. In some cases entire com
panies have been stricken. General Arolas
and nearly every member OF his staff are i'll.
Captain-geneial Weyler has ordered the
erection of new hospitals along the trocha,
and will send to Spain for additional physi-
places in Eastern Cuba the fever is raging
with great violence, and it is spreading to
the central points.
From Matanzas comes most distressing
tales. In that city 1t Is said the mortality
Is about 80 per cent, and that 1t is becoming
difficult to bury the dead The hospitals Of
Havana contain nearly 5000 patients, and
every day the number is being increased.
There is talk now Of cholera. 1t Is pretty
well established that there have been several
cases of this latter disease along the trocha.
DR.. Muratta, the Japanese army surgeon,
who has been here, says he doesn't see how
great epidemic OF cholera can be pre-
vented.
The condition Of Spanish troops along the
trocha is awful. They are ill-fed and In
rags, and are forced to drink from streams
in which carcases are floating. The officers
in the field. from captain to general, are ap-
plying for permission to return to Spain,
and the pryates are deserting daily. Unless
something is done 1t seems likely that be.
fore the summer is over Spain will have no
army in Cuba.

SEWALL GETS 1t.
Disappointed Presidential Candi-
dates Refused Second Place.

CHICAGO, Ill July 1.-THE convention
which nominated the "Boy Orator of Ne
braska" for president completed its work by
putting the grand old salt of Maine, Arthur
Sewall, upon the ticket as vice-president.
Mr.. Sewall was nominated because he was
the only man who did not flee. John IL.
Mclean evaded the issue by taking an early
train for Cincinnati. For safety's sake he
fired back kilograms declining the nomina-
tion from every station his train stopped at
Joseph G. Sibley, the Pennsylvania silver
democrat with solid gold-basis fortune,
fed like bird long before the convention
met. and was almost at Pittsburg before he
dared stop long enough to send back his
telegram declining the honor. Richard T..
Bland from far off Lebanon, Mo-, sent in
his resignation before starting out to plough
In the morning.
Senator Daniel of Virginia. put himself in
the hands of his friends last night and they
had some difficulty in saving him. Horace
Boies, of Iowa, had put his anchor far out
to windward in letter to u friend declining
to be thought of for the place. Any one Of
these men could have had the nomination
for a little exertion. Invent to MIR. Sewall
without any exertion at all
Probably if he had known it was coming
he would have lodged it. too, but when his
name was first mentioned it was not taken
seriously. Two hours later he was nomi-
mated. On the second ballot he had only 81
votes. The flfth ballot was not completed.
because before 1t ended Mr.. Sewall had a
clear two-thrds majority and the nomina-
ton was made by acclamation.

house of Sewall 4 Sons own the largest
sailor merchantmen atioat.
The Sewalls are an old and well-known
family on both sides of the water. The first
American Sewall came to this country III
1904. James Sewall, grandfather Of the
ship-builder, fought in the revolution. He
went from York, Me-, to Bath, in 1862. and
purchased the tract of land on which to
this day is located the Sewall ship-yards
and the houses of the Sewall family. 1t is
| now seventy-One years since the Sewalls
began building ships, and during that time
they have owned ninety-fve Of them.
Arthur Sewall. the vice-presidential candi-
date. who succeeded his father in the ship
building industry, was at first associated
| with his brother under the firm name OF r..
| 4 A. Sewail. The flrm is now A. Sewall 4
Co. Associated with Mr.Sewall are William
ID. Sewall. his son, and Samuel s. Sewall
his nephew. The elder Sewall grew up in
the shpyard and on the seashore, acquiring
II popularity with business life and affairs
which has since served him well. Heis in
every sense man of affairs-a capitalist.
There is hardly corporation in Sagadahoe
County in which he Is not a director, whether
it is bank, factory or railroad.
For nine years ending in 1893, he was
president of the Maine Central railroad and
then only resigned to place a man of
his own choice in he same position. He is
Maine. He was for years prominent in the
management of the Mexican Central Il Son
ora railroad. He was president for a time
of the Eastern railroad, and Is now direc-
tor. In all these he has shown himself to
be the keen, shrewd, and progressive busi-
ness man. Under his management the
Maine Central changed from u third-class
iron railroad, to u first class steel railroad,
with every modern appliance.
In politics MIR. Sewall has been lifelong
democrat. He never voted any other ticket.
and for the past eight years has been Names
representative on the democratic national
committee until a few days ago, when DIR.
:. II. G. Gordon succeeded him. He was an
original Cleveland man and followed the
career of the Buffalo statesman up until n
couple of years ago notwithstanding the
fact that he shared something of the protec-
tion views of the late Samuel j. Randall.
Ever since the Greenback victory which
swept over Maine Mr.. Sewall has been Il
close student of financial question, and this
has crystuzed in him to II thorough belief
on binetullism and the free coinage of both
silver and gold. Mr.Sewall was Il candidate
for United States senator against senator
Eugene Hale in 1898.
1t was Mr.. Sewall's free coinage procliv-
tiles which led his fellow delegates to leave
him Off the National committee last week.
In 1869 Mr.. Sewall married Emily Duncan
CrOOker. daughter of a prominent citizen of
Bath. Three children were born to them,
Harold Sewall, former consul-general to
Samoa, William Sewall, junior member Of
the ship-building firm, and Demmer Sewall,
who died in infancy. Harold Sewall was
sent to Samoa at the time of the Samoan

The would-be assassin was at once ar

came known in the crowd at Longchamps
that the president had not been hurt by the
pistol shot the greatest enthusiasm was
manifested. Cheer after cheer went up.
The people could scarcely he restrained

1t was a historical day in Paris. being the
