an excellent piece of wood carving done
by w. II. Bartels of Carthage, ILL.,, who
selected the wood-a hickory log taken
from the log cabin occupied by President
Lincoln at New Salem, ILL.,, in 1882.
There are panels on either side, which
are filled with inscribed plates of gold

oThere will be but one rollcall in the
convention, and that will result in the
nomination of Mckinley" were the words
of Judge A.. @. Thompson of Ohio at the
Mckinley headquarters to : day. Judge
Tbompson's statement was in reply to an
interview with Mr.. Filley of this CITY,
printed in an evening paper, wherein he
stated a rollcall must be completed before
a nomination could be made, and proposed
an informal ballot.
II am familiar" added Thompson,
"with the mode of procedure in National
conventions and / have never in my life
heard of such thing as an informal
ballot. IF, when some State like Penn
sylyania, South Carolina or Texas is
reached and some delegate sees that Nc
sKinley has already received votes suffi-
cient to nominate him, who is to say that
a delegate has not the right to move that
Major Mckinley be nominated by accla-
nation? 1t was done at Minneapolis four
wears ago. When Texas was reached it
was evident that Harrison had votes
enough to nominate and the vote was
made unanimous. No one objected to it
and no one proposed an informal ballot.n
One of to-day's arrivals was Hon. w. S.
Manning of New York, who is chock full
OF Mckinley enthusiasm. "Maior Nc

Manning. 'Three-fourths of the conven-

even more brilliant than usual. During
the night he complained little of dys-
pepsia and slept the greater part of the
time in MS chair. In the forenoon he was
sitting with Julian Reed and Mr.. Cam
peau, chatting and mapping. About
o'clock he went to sleep. About o'clock,
while the train was west of Grand Island,
Nebr., Manager Block went to wake him
and found him dead. His face had been
visible to his com panions all these hours
and they had walked on tiptoe so as not to
awake him.
The shock was great one to the CON-
pany and nearly prostrated Mrs. Edwin
MAYO, who was on the train. He died
from paralysis of the heart. 1t is feared
that the news will prove too much for his
wife, who has been receiving medical
treatment at Philadelphia for some time.
Mr.. Mayo worried considerably about her
condition the past few days.
Fifty-eight of the Elks Lodge met the
remains at the train. Sadly and tenderly
the body was borne on stretcher by the
pail bearers-W. F. Gurley, "Spud' Far
rish, Charles Howard, John Tetard, Lloyd
Jones and Walt Misener-to the Elks'
lodgeroom.
Mayo leaves a widow, who is critically
ill at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Elyerson, in Philadelphia. The children
are Mrs. EIverson, Miss Derondo Mayo
and Edwin Mayo, all of whom are in Phil

prominent newspaper man and Edwin

business of the company in Denver was
the lightest of the entire season. Fol-
some time Mayo had complained of severe
pains about the heart, which he believed
to arise from dyspepsia and from the
effect OF his hard work writing out the
play from the story as written by Mark
Twain. He declined to call physician
though repeatedly urged to do so, and two
nights he did not unoress as the pain was
SO severe. He alternately felt that death

hotels are barred against them. Mr. Hill,
National Committeeman from Mississippi,
told me that he actually went hungry dur

promised US quarters for colored delegates,
but there is none. Unless this whole mat
ter is remedied by next Wednesday, when
the National Committee meets, the facts
will be placed before them and motion
made to adjourn the convention to some

James Hill, National Committeeman
from Mississippi, arrived in st. Louis a
day or so ago and has tried to find quar-
ters for his delegation. So far none have
been found. He said 'When st. Louis
was asking for the convention did all 1
could to bring 1t here. The local COM
mittee promised that no color line would
be drawn. We are looking to the local
committee to see that the pledge is full

Frank Mayo missed his last engage
ment Yesterday he was looking forward
to an evening of recreation and rest in
Omaha. Rest came all too soon for his
friends. With his head reclining gently
on his arm, while his companions sat all
unwittingly near him, quietly and peace
fully his long sleep began. An hour, two
hours, maybe three, passed before his COM

they told each other sadly that 'Pud-

the instance of Victor Cousin, who said
to him: "Leave off that frightful Suisse.
A man can't become famous with name
like that" After studying at small Acol-
leges in his native town and at Vannes he
became assistant teacher at the Normal
School at Rennes.
M. Cousin, whose disciple he was, called
him to Paris and got him place in the
Normal School there. After being sup
Elementary teacher in philosophy he gave
the principal lectures. He succeeded
Cousin in the chair of philosophy at the
Sorbonne about the time he gave up the
name of Suisse. For twelve years he had
been one of the chief instructors of France.
He was made Knight of the Legion of
Honor in 1S45. The next year he pre-
sented himself as a candidate for the con-
stitutional Left in the Assembly at Lam
Dien, but was defeated. He was elected
from the Cotes du Nord after the
revolution of 1S4S and classed him
self with the moderate Left in the As
sembly. After the coup d'etat his
lectures at the Sorbonne were suspended,
as he refused to take the oath of allegiance
to the empire. He was returned to the
Corps Legislatif in 1868 and continued
member until the fall of the empire. He
ranked high as an orator and was the chief
of the Republican party. He made him.
self prominent as an advocate of free trade.
He had the post of Minister of Public In
struction, Fine Arts and Public Worship
in the government of the National Defense.
Having failed of election in Paris he got
himse elected to the National Assembly
in 1871 from the department of the Marine.
He classed himself among the members
of the Left and received from Theirs, on
February 10, 1871, the portfolio of Public
instruction in the Cabinet of the Concilia
ton. HI retained it until May 1873 when
he resumed his seat in the Assem- bly,, be-
coming the chief of the Left. He was
elected Senator for life on December 16,
1875. He became Premier of the new
Ministry, which was formed in December,
1877, holding, with the presidency of the
Council, the portfolio of the Interior. He
was forced out of the Cabinet by Marshal
MacMahon in May, 1877.
M. Simon was elected member of the
French academy in 1875 and the academy
in 1880 elected him to the new supreme
educational council. He was elected per-
manent secretary of the Academy of Moral
and Physical Science in 1882. His last ap-
pearance in political life was when he ad-
vocated free trade to no purpose in No
vember, 1891.
The list of NJ. Simon's works is long
one. Most of them are on politico-eco-
nomical and historical subjects. He con-
tributed largely to the reviews.

the matter came to-day from National
Committeeman George W. Hall of Ten

Do right, my boy, not for the
sake of the applause of this world,
but for the sake of your own con-
scious. Don't you hate to wear a
soiled undershict under your starch

afraid that the wristbands will peep
out beneath your cuffs =? That is
the condition of the fellow with q
blackened conscience. If he has
any sensibilities whatever, he is
always afraid of some unfortuitous
circumstance that will result in the
humility of exposure: A clear con-
science makes a man courageous.
1t gives him feeling of self.respect
that he cannoi secure in any other
way. If you are a coward end
sneak, you cannot respect yourself,
neither can you command the re-
spect of others. Be courteous to
your equals, kindly to your interiors
and acknowledge no superiors. If
you find a man who excels you in
outside appearance, strive to emu
late him in manners and inward
grace and the world will forget the

PORTRAIT ON HIS HAND.

Three or four years ago, in 1891
or 1892, the eighth wonder of the
world was born at Roseburg, s. g.
The freak in question was a baby,
born into the family of Clark Os.
born, well-known merchant of the
town mentioned above, and the Cd.
dity was 8 natural portrait in the
hand Of the little one. Those who
made critical examination of the
baby's hand as soon as the curiosity
was discovered say that the por.
trait on the tiny palm was that of a
child apparently about 2 years old.
The features were clear cut and
distinct and appeared to be those of
the child lying sound asleep. The
dslicately tinted lips were partly
open, showing four pearly teeth !;
the eyes were tightly closed and the
cheeks were full, red and natural.
When the mother first discovered
the miraculous imprint on her new
born darling's hand she tainted,
owing partly, it is said, to the fact
that the portrait was an excellent
likeness OF the face of her little
5.year-old daughter, who had died
about two months before.
