saloon keepers, you have got to cease
your business
At the close of the address of DR..
Mead the annual conference collection
for the society was taken up. Mr..
Mead's address was a stirring one and
with his hits against the liquor traffic
he mingled humorous remarks which
served not only to keep the audience in
good humor, but also to emphasize his
points. Among his humorous remarks
was one in connection with an expert
ence of his in North Carolina. He was
riding on railroad train and at sta
tion he saw cracker" so lazy that
he would not scratch his nose with his
finger when it itched, but rubbed it
against the station building. He
thought that strange but on little
ways farther saw q razor back" pig
rubbing his back against a till and
then he knew that the idea of rubbing
his nose against the station was not
original with the cracker, but that he
had learned it from the hog.
Rev. Mr.. James of Rockville, presi-
dent Of the Connecticut Temperance
union, was the last speaker and said:
I'VE have ninety-seven no license
towns in this conference, but we are
not getting there as we ought to and
/ am getting to believe it is partly on
account of the preachers and Christian
people. We are satisfied to hear a good
rousing temperance talk and then go
home and let the matter rest. Some
thing besides talking, shouting and vot-
ing must be done. The few who do be-
gin to wake up on the question wake
up sporadically and then go to sleep
again. There is a tremendous neces-
sity for organization. We don't get to-
gether because we don't let people know
definitely what we want to do. Per-
sistence, intelligence and unity are the
three things absolutely necessary"
Here Mr.. James asked Samuel
Thrasher, agent Of the Law and Order
before the audience and referred to
him as "the Roosevelt of Connecticut. !"
Mr.. Thrasher rose and spoke a few
words. Continuing Mr.. James said
that the other denominations in Con-
necticut were doing more for temper
ance in the state than the Methodists.
In conclusion he said: I'VE have got
to organize. There was one thing
which contributed more than anything
else to the victory Of the union. That
was that the soldiers kept the ranks
closed UP. So we must do the same
now in this cause

2ident in this city tonight. His lifeless
body was found on Noble street grade

man named Callahan, who signalled
HE Naugatuck train in time to prevent
N second passage over the mangled
I2orps.
A Just how the accident occurred is un-
Known even to the train hands. The
Engineer is certain he did not nit any
Body on the crossing, and the theory Is
Nhat the man fell from the train at the
point mentioned. He was cut IN Two
lby the wheels. His features were rem
@ered irrecognizable; his brains were
Ecattered over the track for distance
bf fifteen feet. His heart was found at
N distance of twenty feet from the
Body.
An examination later showed that his

BURGLARY IN FIIR H.IPEN.
Nonpariel Laundry Entered and Safe
Broken But Not Opened,

Broken But Not Opened.
Yesterday morning when Mr. Moran,
proprietor of the Nonpariel laundry on
Blatchley avenue, opened his office he
found the outer door of his safe blown
open and other evidence of the work of
burglars. An investigation showed
that nothing was missing except some
papers, which had been left in the office
desk. This was something over 81. An
entrance had been effected through a
door in the boiler room A small piece
OF a dynamite cartridge and a fuse
We're found near the same.
Mr.. Moran reported the case to the
police at the Grand avenue station. De-
tective Sergeants Dennehy and Nc
Grath were sent to investigate. The
work appeared to be that of men who
knew how to use explosives They had
evidently been foiled by the way in
which the safe door was broken. The
inner part of the door instead of COM
ing out broke and wedged in. The
burglars departed by the same way in
which they made their entrance.

LAST Day or SAFE.

Tho Last Opportunity For Subscription
Tickets For the Gounod Festiyal-lhe Az
tprnoon Program-Single Seats Monday
Morning.
The sale of subscription tickets for
the big Gounod festival closes to-day.
1t was at first intended to keep the list
open for a week but the tickets sold
off so well that it was later decided to
bring it to a close tonight. The choice
thus far seems to have fallen on the
aisle seats near the center of the house,
and the ends of the rows have been
Topped off while the middle seats re-
main for the single seat purchasers.
The single seats will sell for $150 and
81 piece. There is hardly an unde-
sil'able position in the house. The
platform will ge so raised that the
singers will be visible from every part
Of the house. Everything possible will
be done for the comfort and best ac-
commodation of the festival goers.
The out of town contingent promises
to be even larger than was expected
People are coming from all the neigh
boring cities, Hartford sending down a
large party of well known social and
musical people, although Hartford has
festival of its own on q smaller scale.
1t has been suggested that the board
ing house keepers who would like to
accommodate the out of town partons
during the festival send their names
and addresses to the secretary.
The program of the Saturday after
noon concert is here given for the first
time 1t is brilliant array of talent
and program that promises both va

always been a great favorite here. The
climax of the program should be josef
fy's concerto. The Ltszt "A major" is
exactly suited to show off Joseffy's most
striking characteristics. The "Smeta-

been played here.

Gov. Stone thanked the convention n fol
the honor it had shown his state and con
tinued: 81 am in receipt of telegram
from Mr.. Bland. He deems it unwse and
i'm politlc to nominate both candidates
from west of the Mississippi river
He directs me to say that the nomination
of Bryan has his warm and hearty ap
proval and thinks the nomination of vice
president should be made for one OBJ ject
to strengthen the ticket. Accordingly he
desires his name withdrawn" The Bland
men cheered.
The progress of the fourth ballot was
watched with intense interest. Every an
nouncement of additions to Mclean s
strength was greeted with wild applause.
Texas and West Virginia threw their
votes solid to Daniel.
New Mexico divided her six votes be-
tween Mclean and Sewell.
The contest had narrowed down to q
race between Mclean and Sewell. In
tense excitement prevailed.
When John Powers announced that
Illinois cast 48 votes for Mclean there
was a scene of wild confusion. Men
surged about the Illinois standard.
'ExCongressman Fithian jumped on a
chair with face afame with passion. "We
can not afford to nominate that man." he
shouted, con the platform we adopted. l
challenge the vote of the delegation"
The convention was in an uproar. Fifth
ian continued to protest. At last order
was restored and the roll of the delega
tion was called. 1t showed 28 votes for
Mclean, 10 for Sewell, and 10 absent.
But under the unit rule the 4S votes went
to Mclean.

RESULT OF FOURTH BALLOT.

Ulrich Sloan, of the Ohio delegation,
who placed Mclean in nomination, read
the following from him: "Any vote cast
for me for vice-president is against my
expressed wishes and without authority"
Sloan added, "That is for Mclean, not
for the Ohio delegation"
Shouts for Mclean, mingled with "no,
no" and "Sewell," interrupted the reading
of the dispatch and continued for time.
When order was restored the fifth bal
lot was taken. Georgia, Indiana, Iowa
and Louisiana swung into line for Sewell.
Ohio cast her vote for Mclean.
When the roll call was concluded there
was hurried consultation.
Sewell had 42O votes, within 25 votes of
enough to nominate. The Illinois dele
cation wavered.
Suddenly Harry Donovan mounted a
chair and shouted: "Illinois, which will
cast its votes for the nominees of this
convention, now desires to aid in making
the ticket. She casts her 48 votes for Ar
thur Sewell of Maine"
Kentucky, Ohio, and other states all
quickly fell in line.
Delegations grasped the states color
and marched in Indian file, with the pur-
pie stats of Nebraska and Maine in the
van. The crowds shouted and there was
wild scene of enthusiasm.

lends a charm to his conversation. He
gave this interesting account of his intro

orators some rich experiences of their
own in being presented to public assem-

to make acquaintances to help him in his
law practice as much as in his political
aspirations. He had turned over several
modes of introduction IN his mind and
finally asked the chairman, genuine son
of the old sod,' to introduce him simply
as William j. Bryan, an attorney -at-law
from Lincoln which, if he made a taking
speech, he hoped would bring him oil

subtracting from the formula, sad:

had desired"

Cause of Bryan's Nomination.

Chicago, July 1l.-Nobody doubts that
the real cause of Bryan's nomination was
the stampede inaugurated in his favor at
the close of his great speech on Thurs
day. He scarcely left the platform, when,
amid the applause of the multitude, Judge
Gatewood, of the Texas delegation, an
original Bryan man, grabbed the stand
ard of Texas, and, holding it high, carried
it in triumph over to the Nebraska dele
cation and placed it by the standard of
Nebraska. He was followed by Georgia,
louisiana, Utah and other states, until
two thirds of the standards of ali the
states were clustered around those of Ne
braska and Texas. The audience went
wild.
OVERWHELMED WITH CONGRATULATIONS.

kilograms of congratulstion before he re-
