now rlptoe. carried 8 Letter.

Little Mary and her kitten Tiptoes were very fond of each other, and when Mary had to be sent to her uncle's, four miles from home, to attend school one of the hardest things for her to do was to part with kitty.
 A few days after she had left home, as she was walking slowly toward school one morning, what should she see in the road few feet from her but Tip toes, trotting straight toward her uncle 8 house. She ran and caught her up in her arms and laughed and almost cried at the same time.
 But this was not the strangest part of what Tiptoes did, for kittens often find their way over long distances. When Mary returned from school that night, she wrote letter to her mamma, tell ing her of the kittens adventure, and then tied the letter with ribbon around Tiptoes' neck and told her that she must go back home and carry the letter to mamma. And what do you suppose, for this is 8 true story?
 A few days later Mary received let ter through the mail from mamma, say ing that Tiptoes had come home and delivered the letter safely.
 Now don't you think that Mary has reason to think Tiptoes a pretty smart cat?-Youth's Companion.

 and the Nomination of Bryan and

 J. Boyd Thaeher For Governor.
 BUFFALO, Sept. l8-The delay in perfecting it's work by the platform committee was the reason assigned for the lapse of an hour after the time set for the reassembling of the Democratic state convention before that body was called to order yesterday. Business then proceeded with expedition. The report of the committee on credentials having been adopted, the committee on perma- nent organization reported, naming ex- Congressman Rockwell for permanent chairman. The report was adopted without dissent Rockwell was greeted with much applause as he appeared upon the platform. He was introduced by Temporary Chairman Grady. In opening his speech on assuming the chair Rockwell gave his unqualified ap- proval to the platform and candidates of the Chicago convention, adopting as his own the sarcastic observation of Gov.

A poet,s Gifts to His Itttlo Friends.

As we all know, Eugene Field was ever gentle and tender to the little ones. If they were in any way weak or afaict- ed, they appealed all the more strongly to the love of which his heart was so full. His nature was as simple as a child's, and he loved the childrens s toys as much as they did His sympathetic enjoyment of their pleasure in any new toy was a revelation to the everyday man or woman. One day I went with him into toystore to get some little things for the babies, as he rarely went home empty handed. After he had pur- chased several things he ordered a dog en medium sized bisque dolls. won dered what he was going to do with so many and put the question to him. He answered, "Oh, like to have them. and when little girls come to see me can give them dolly to take home. :" Some time after his death the family found the box that had contained the dolls. There was cNly one left. and that one in some way had been broken.
 It was only few weeks before his life ended that he bought these dolls. so he must have had many visits from his little friends. Martha Nelson Yen owine in St. Nicholas.

Flower "thpt the platform was just suited to the candidates, and the candi- dates to the platform. In conclusion Chairman Rockwell said;
 If we shall be true to our principles, true to our convictions and go manfully forward in this battle, we shall succeed in making this a government of the peo- pie, by the people and for the people, instead of government of trusts and monopolies, by trusts and monopohes and for the benefit of trusts and mo- nopolies
 At the conclusion of his speech the Chairman called for the report of the committee cn resolutions and it was read. The first plank of the platform is as follows:
 "The Democratic party of the state of New York in convention assembled un- reservedly indorses the platform adopted by the Democratic party at the national convention at Chicago July 2, 1896 i; cordially approves the nominations there made, pledges to William J. Bryan and Arthur Sewall it's hearty and active support, and declares as its deliberate judgment that never in the history of the Democratic party has a platform been written which embodies more com pletely the interests of the whole people, as distinguished from those who seek Legislation for private benefits, than that given to the country by the national Democratic convention of 1886.
 Mir. Yorke moved the previous ques- tion on the adoption of the report. Henry H. Purroy objected, but was ruled out of order. The convention voted viva voce on the adoption of the previous question, which the chair de- cided was carried. Purroy appealed from the decision and demanded roll call on the question sustaining the chairs ruling When his name was reached in tie rollcall, Purroy produced from his pocket the manuscript of Q speech. which he proceeded to read, the convention all the while calling upon him to be seated His speech was a protest against the application of the gag rule. At it's conclusion Purroy sad he would vote aye upon the adoption of the report of the platform committee.
 The rollcsll sustained the chairs de- cision and then the platform as reported was unanimously adopted.
 Nominations for governor being in order. Albany county presented the name of John Boyd Thacher. Ale gheny county presented the name of Congressman Sulzer. The galleries eheered wildly, but she delegates re- ceived the nomination alphabetically Jefferson county presented the name of Wilber F. Porter of Watertown.
 Mir. Thacher was nominated on the first ballot.
 Judge Porter was nominated lieuten. ant governor and Robert G. Titus for judge of the court of appeals.
 After selecting presidential electors the convention adjourned sine die.

Electric Franchise of the Erie Canal
 on the Market.

Electric Franchise of the Erie Canal
 on the Market.
 NEW YORK, Sept. l5 Negotiations for the sale of the Erie canal electric franchise to an English syndicate will re- suit in the installation of a complete system of electric traction within short time.
 What has interested English capital in this enterprise is the possibility of ship ping grain from the northwest direct to Liverpool by an allwater route and eff fecting great saving in time and freight charges. Only one transfer will be required, and that will be in New York harbor, without the necessity of elevator storage. The saving will be not only in high railroad freight charg- es if the grain is brought to New York by rail, out on the old water route of el- evator charges at Buffalo and slow haul age by mules through the canal with more elevator charges at this port.
 The use of electricity to run canal  boats is but pait of the extensive plan to cheapen the rates from the west to the east and then to Europe It con- templates q direct service from Chicago and Duluth by the use of steel canal boats after the type of the six that were built last year in Cleveland and made one trip to this port With the aid of floating elevators the canalboats can be unloadeded into ocean steamers in the harbor without the necessity of storage.
 This was the plan that the New York capitalists had in mind when thsy se- cured as 0 gift the franchise that the Englishmen are to pay $3,000, 900 for. They did not get very far along before they met the allpowerful opposition of the New York Central railroad and the allied trunk lines that monopolize the traffic into New York and have been steadily running the canal. A few fig ures tell the story. Iii 1885 the canal carried 69, 900. 600 bushels of wheat from Buffalo to New York. The last year 1t only carried 1 1000, GOO bushels
