x-Rays in a College Presidents Hand.

At a meeting of the Massachusetts In
stitute of Technology alumni Wednesday
evening two instructors at the institute
showed some of the results of their expert
ments with the X-rays. Among the stere-
opticon views exhibited was one of the
hand of the president of the institute, Gen.
Francis A. Walker. His hand was frac-
tured by cannon ball during the war and
the bones of the wrist were shattered. To
the surprise of the general himself the pic
ture showed that piece of metal about
the size of buckshot was imbedded in
one of the bones.

The Rhode Island Republicans led off
the years voting Wednesday by reelecting
Gov. Lippitt by a plurality of more than
10000. If the result is a forerunner of
what is to follow the triumph of Republi-
canism and protection in the presidential
campaign will be without precedent. The
Republican success was so complete and
emphatic that the Democrats attempt to
make no explanation. Complete and re-
vised returns show Lippitt's plurality to
be 27S.

One of the London newspapers, in
commenting upon the death of the
late Shah of Persia states that eighteen
rulers have been assassinated during
the present century. The first victim
was Emperor Paul who was murdered
in 1901 by palace conspirators. Then
followed pause in the record for
nearly thirty years, after which, in
1881, Capodistias, the President of the
Provisional Government of Greece,
was dispatched. In 1854 the Duke Of
Palma was assassinated. The turn of
transatlantic Presidents began with
the President of Hayti, in 1859. The
South American series included Col
onel Balta, President of Peru, in 1872 !;
Moreno, President of Ecuador, IN the
same year, and his successor, Gut
tierez, in 1878. President Lincoln
was the first North American Presi-
dent to be assassinated; Abdul Asis
was bled to death in warm bath in
1874; President Garfield was shot in
1880, and Alexander I was blown up
in 1881. Carnot WAS murdered in the
midst of civic festivities at Lyons.
The Queen of Korea was the last to be
added to the black list. Four Beys of
Algiers were murdered in this century.
The executed monarchs were Murat,
Iturbide and Macmillan of Austria,
each and all of whom tempted fate.
The King most often and most seri-
ously shot at was Louis Philippe, who
somehow was never hurt by his would
be assassins The most desperate at
tempt was by Fieschi, the Corsican,
who operated with an Internal machine.
He was once fired upon at such close
quarters that the flash of the pistol set
fire to the bonnet of Queen Marie
Amelie, who sat beside him in a car
riage. But one serious attempt was
made to assassinate Napoleon; 1t was
with an Internal machine, Napoleon
III had two narrow escapes. One was
when the Orsini bombs exploded round
his carriage, and the other was in the
Bois de Boulogne, when a ball meant
for his guest, Alexander /, whizzed by
his ear and shot his aid-de.c camps
horse.

from the platform or the delegates seats IL
"A problem unsolved. The probabilities are
that no man in the country can make him
self heard throughout the colosseum while
the convention is in session. because there
will be more or less noise and moving about
hut this will make no particular difference,
as TO most of those who attend such gather
! ings 20 TO see and not to hear.
Colonel John I. Dickinson, president of
the colosseum company, said the idea in
building the present structure was not to
secure some alleged artistic architectural eff
fects to the sacrifice of utility and while the
colosseum is not by any means so beauti-
ful as Madison Square garden. for in
stance he thinks it better adapted to the
uses of a national convention or other great
event. In many respects the colosseum Is
not thing of beauty, but it will seat many
thousands, and that is the main point. 1t is
to be used for circus performances, athletic
events. celebrations and things of that sort.
and its projectors say ii will be the means
of bringing at least one of the national con-
yentions to Chicago every four years. 1t
fell down once. when nearly completed. but
the defects which caused the collapse have
been remeded.
The colosseum is 700 feet in length by 300
feet in width. and every foot of space is
available, for there is not post or other
obstruction in the way. The building itself
occupies five and One-halt acres of ground
/ between Sixty-second and SiXty-third streets,
and is bounded by Grace avenue and the
I Illinois Central railroad tracks, the main
! entrance being in SiXty-third street. Be
| tween the structure and the railroad tracks
! are two and one-half acres of ground. which
I will be used during the convention as car
rageway Carriage parties from the city
/ will use the Michigan avenue boulevard to
| Fifty-iifth street. thence through Washing
ton park to the Midway Plaisance and south
on stony Island avenue to the convention
hall.
Every FOO: of the 2S5, 800 square feet of
the colosseum is to be devoted to the uses
of the convention. and the experts who
have examined the plans pronounce them
acceptable in every way. The most startling
innovation is the grand public reception
hall, $50 feet square, which will be an at
tractive and picturesque feature of the con-
vention building.
The convention hall proper occupies a
space of 45O by 800 feet, at the northern end
Of the building. The speakers stand and
platform for members of the democratic
national committee and four hundred guests
is located to the East and Immediately il
front will be desks for two hundred and fifty
newspaper representatives. These news
paper workers will occupy semicircula
platform. raised two feet above the foo
level. Directly back of the speaker, and il
ready communication with the newspapel
platform. is the telegraph room, with table
Tor scores of instruments.

give MIN the appointment of one cabinet

The silver cause is desperate aud we can

TO Altged. Bland and other leaders. ! tell

too democratic. They cannot win as demo
crats, hut only a. combined democrats.
populistS and silver republicans. / am in
favor OF Bland for president because his
name Is platform ia itself Just as McKin-
ley name is whole platform.
The Intention Of our rorefathers in estab-
hshlng our electoral system was that the
electors should be elected as they are now.
and that they should then meet. and after
discussion vote for whom they wished. There
Is no law compelling an elector to vote for
any man. 1t Is simply custom.
"Rcpublican electors vote for the man at
the head of the ticket. and the democrats do
the same. Now | want to tell YOU that if the
democrats, populists and free silver repub-
lcan~ do not get together a. | have indi-
Gated, they will ultimately combine In the
electoral college.
For instance. il straight democratic
electors are elected in the South. silver re-
publican electors in Colorado and Nevada
and populIst electors in North Carolina and
Kansas. these electors will unite when they
meet next winter aud vote .olidly for such
men as Bland and Butler
"Pingree can carry Michigan. Teller half
dozen western states and Caldwell can
carry Iowa and the southwest There are
10000 republicans in Iowa who want To vote
for Caldwell There are eight cabinet posi-
tlons and their distribution in this way be-
torehand would carry eight doubtful states
for silver.
