Senator Whitcomb. One year after
Matthews graduation they were mar
ried and came to Vermilion county,
Ind, to live. From that time until
1890, when he came to indianapolis as
secretary of state, he resided upon q
farm of several hundred acres near
Clinton, and devoted himself to its cul-
ture and to stock raising. His interest
in improved breeds of stock led him
to organize the Indiana Shorthorn
Breeders association several years ago,
and he was it's president several years.
In 1878 Matthews was elected to the
house of representatives from Clinton
county, and in 1890 he was nominated
for state senator in the same district.
The supposed necessity of nominating
farmer to lead the state ticket in
the same year called attention to him
as the most available man for secre-
tary of state, and he was nominated
by the state convention for that Office.
He made an energetic campaign, speak
ing in nearly all the counties in the
state, and was elected by the phe-
nomenal majority for Indiana of 21,-
900. Two years later he was asked
to enter the race for the governorship,
but withheld his consent until the eve
of the state convention. Many of the
counties had refused to instruct for the
other candidates, and when the dele
gates reached the city and found Mat
thews actively in the race there was
a hegira to his standard. and he was
nominated on the first ballot. Mat
thews had been almost unanimously
nominated in two conventions, and the
ease with which he won inspired conf
dence and generated enthusiasm among
his friends. While not an eloquent
speaker, he proved greater success
on the hustings in 1892 than in the
preceding campaign. The campaign
was not brilliant one in the ordinary
sense, for there was dearth of pyro-
technics, but democratic majority Of
1000 testified to the aggressive spirit
which the democrats had manifested
throughout the campaign.

900 Alamo Plaza, over the Globe,

Dies MoIEEs, Iowa, July d.
The republican state convention
today met with rainy weather.
The dampness however, had little
effect on the assembled statesmen.
Caucuses were held in nine of the
eleven congressional districts, and
members of the usual committees
were named. The convention was
harmonious throughout. The plat.
form declares warmly in support
of the st. Louis platform and says
the party in Iowa is in line with
the national party. The history OF
the past is reviewed and the party
complimented all through. Rollin
j. Wilson, who was selected as
temporary chairman, was over
come by the heat yesterday and
was unable to preside and Con-
gresham Hepburn was selected to
fill his place. He made q strong
speech in line with the PLATFORM.
State Auditor Mccarthy, Treas
urer Herriott and Attorney Gener-
al Remley will be re-nominated by
reclamation.

FOLDING CHURCH CARS.
One of the Latest Inventions of
Railroad Oar Builders.
when In Position and Unfoided These
Queer Meeting Houses Extend Over
Two Tracks aud Overriding
on Each Side.

Folding beds are modern in the sense
that they became common when city
people took to living in flats, but they
were used in Europe decades ago. Fold
mig houses, or, as they are called, porta-
BILE houses, are sent to all parts of the
world. Folding bicycles are seeking
recognition. Folding boats have been
used by hunters and fishermen for
years. Folding coops imprison thous-
ands of chickens which are brought to
market from poultry raisers.
In short, hundreds of things are now
made to fold up in small compass, SO
that they take up little room when in
transit, but open out to full size when
set up in place.
One of the latest inventions in the
folding line is Gospel car" which
looks like an ordinary freight car when
made up in the train, but which grows
and expands into a, comfortable, COM
modious chapel, with a steeple and bell
tower, when the itinerant evangelist
sets up his wheeled house of worship
on a siding.
Albert Bierstadt, New York in
ventor, says the Chicago Record, seems
to have a faculty for devising queer
railroad cars of the folding-expansive
type, for he has invented four kinds. In
one the sides are made so that they
swing out and down when a windlass
is turned and another attachment lifts
.he whole roof of the car up to give
more mead room.
-another type looks like the first when
folded up, but it can be transformed
into larger room. Extra wings and
sides are added so that the floor can be
extended far beyond the fixed floor of
the car, and the exterior space can be
walled in and covered by hinged roof.
The third kind is made so that II
can be lighted by windows, and in addi-
ton it is partitioned off into rooms
The latest form is a combination of
the last two, and requires two cars to
make the whole.
These cars are run on to parallel
tracks side by side, the floor sections

A FOLDING CHURCH CAR.

are swung down to fill the space be-
tween the cars, and are clamped to-
gether so as to make solid floor.
The roof sections swing out to with
In q short distance Of each other, and
extension pieces are clamped between,
and the whole is inclosed by walls
which are bolted and clamped In place.
These walls have windows In them,
and when the entire affair is put TO-
gether the railroad chapel extends over
two tracks and overhang on each side.
The machinery for raising steeple
over the queer church is capable of lift
ing the framework to good height,
and when this is put on there is moth
ing but the railroad track and car
wheels to indicate the character Of the
house.
Braces and rods strengthen the floor
and stiffen the walls and roofs, and
everything is made SO that the meet
ing house can be set up or taken down
in O short time.
Travelling churches are not new, for
one has been running over the railroads
of the Dalcotas for several years, but
that railroad church was simply large
car, in which an organ and pulpit were
installed, with one end of the car par
titioned off to make a sleeping place
and kitchen for the travelling preacher.
When railroad companies were reach
ing out over the prairies of the west,
running new railroads through the
great plains, armies of men were fed
in the huge boarding cars thatwere inn
portant parts of the construction
trains. These ''boarding shanties"
lowered high over the box cars, some
Of them having three tiers Of windows.
Thousands Of men slept and ate In
these travelling boarding houses for
months at time, and In them the orig
inal hobo found q home. The hunks
extended the length of the car. tier
above tier.
In some cars only the cooks and wait
ers slept tho men sleeping In other
cars or tents. Where the construction
crew was small one or two cars served
for boarding and dining cars.
The boarding cars, iron cars, tie cars,
gravel and sand cars, derrick cars,
bridge cars and material cars for q long
construction train formed ono Of the
queerest aggregations of railroad roll
ing stock which ever ran over rails.

PROOF OF HIS AFFECTION.
Negro Clasps Vice President stevenson's
Portrait While Dying.

Negro Clasps Vice President stevenson's
Portrait While Dying.
Vice President Stevenson received a
touching proof of affection the other
day from an old negro servant. James
Thomas was q negro of the old school,
courteous, faithful and. tender in his
attachment for those whom he regard
ed as his betters, and who were good to
him. He was messenger In the post
Office when Mr.. Stevenson was first as
sistant postmaster general. During the
time he held that Office Mr.. Stevenson
had a severe attack of sickness. Thorn
as nursed him through It, The kindli-
ness which marked his services in that
crisis and the value of them were ap-
preciated thoroughly by Mr.. Steven
son, and ever afterward he had a warm
place In his heart for his faithful at
tendant. He saw that the old man
wanted for nothing, and displayed such
kindly regard for him that Thomas
affection grew to a positive yeneration.
While the vice president was in Ala
bama recently he received letter noti-
Tying him that Thomas was DANGER
ously i'll. AS soon as Mr.. Stevenson re-
turned he sent his son Louis to the
old Negroes home, to tell him that he
would call and see him and ask If any
thing could be done for the sufferers
comfort. When Louis arrived at the
house Thomas was dead, and his mourn
ing relatives told this pathetic story:
An hour before the old man died he
arose from his bed, went into another
room, secured a portrait of the vice
president, which Mr.. Stevenson had
given him, went back to his bed and
held it in his hands with his eyes fixed
upon it. Thus he died. When Louis
Stevenson was taken into the room
where the old man lay the photograph
of his father was still held firmly in
the old mans hands.

Live Animals Fall from the Clouds In the

Thousands of frogs came down upon
Woodlawn, Ill, during the steh the
other day. Where they came from
originally is mystery. They were
alive, too. and they speedily made their
presence known. Stores, fruit stands,
houses and even the Woodlwn police
station were invaded. Women retreated
hastily I'd their homes If they yentured
out, holding their skirts and screaming
with fright. Boys gathered the small
animals by the basketfuls and took
them to the lake shore. The frogs were
thickest in the territory bounded by
Sixty-frst and Sixty-seventh streets
and the lake and Woodlawn avenue.
They caused great deal of wonder and
40 little annoyance.

Gov. Claude Matthews is Ken
tuckian by birth. He was born In Bath
county In 1s45. He is well preserved.
and would ordinarily be regarded as
much younger, for the years have dealt
kindly with him. His hair Is slightly
tinged with gray, his step is elastic,
his movements quick and energetic,
and his manner animated. He weighs
about ITO pounds, has rosnd, full
face, q cordial grasp of the hand and q
pleasant smile. The governor was
reared upon a farm, and when IS years
of age entered Center college at Dam
vile, KY, from which he was grad
usted in 1868. In the meantime he met
his wife, Miss Martha Whitcomb, daugh-
ter of Governor and later United States
