CONVENTION OPENED
Massachusetts Will Cast Her
Vote Solid for Reed.
PLATT TO NAME VICE PRESIDENT
Whereat New Jersey sorrows-Prin-
cIpal Speech. This Forenoon
Made by Fairbanks.

Especial to THE CHRoNIcLE:l
ST. LOUIS, June 16.-The weather to-
day is fine. The delegates at all the
hotels were up early and several meet
ings were held before breakfast. Quay
expressed himself satisfied with the
financial plank already agreed upon.
No nominations are expected this week.
The convention was called at II 20 p.
m. by Carter. Rabbisale offered long
invocation. Secretary Manly, of Maine,
then read the call for the convention.
A great demonstration occurred when
Charles Carter introduced G.. w. Fair
banks, of Indiana, as tempory chairman.
The nomination was seconded by VIM.
H. Switzerland, of New York delegatiod,
and his selection was unanimously in
dorsed.
Massachusetts, will be solid for Reed,
though the nomination of Mckinley has
been conceded. 1t is understood the
hanna and Mckinley managers have
given Platt the privilege to name can
didate for vice president, much to the
sorrow of New Jersey delegates,
who believed their candidate, Garrett
A. Hobart, would be victorious. Platt
has informed Hanna that he would not
consider the presidency until after
the president was nominated.
Lateral the opening of the conven-
ton the halls were crowded and an ex-
ira force of police were applied for to
preserve order. The principal speech of
the morning was that of Charles w.
Fairbanks, of Indiana, on the currency
question, which was wildly applauded.

Three-Oornered Fight Upon the Money
Issue.

Three-Cornered Fight Upon the Money
Issue.
ST. LOUIS, June 15.-Today promises
to be day of platform agitation. A
three-corned fight has drawn the lines
sharply. The men from the East de-
manding gold In the platform are very
determined.
Lodge, Platt and other opponents of
Mckinley seem to feel that they are
placing Mckinley in the hole by insist
ing upon an emphatic gold declaration
being made. Their programe is to force
the fight in the committee on resolu-
tions, and if they cannot win in the COM
mittee to carry it to the convention,
Lodge, the Reed manager, is to lead the
fight for gold declaration, and if it is
not granted he and other Reed men have
faint hope that the refusal to put gold
in the platform will solidity the gold vote
on Reed, bnt the fact that SO many Nc
Kinley men are for gold gives rise to the
hope that the gold men may be success
full.
1t has been the effort of the friends of
Mckinley to avoid a fight in the conven-
tion between the factions favoring the
single standard and against free coinage.
There has been drift towards a moder-
ate expression in favor of gold, and there
is quite pressure from several states for
declaration against free coinage, and
not to have the word gold used in the
platform at all.
Lodge, who has drafted the gold decla-
ration, and secured its Endorsement by
the representatives of number of states,
has been pressing his plank with a great
deal of persistency, and irrltated some
who would prefer mifder declaration.
General Grosvenor, of Ohio, said this
morning:
1--WE know that there is great effort
being made to force certain form of de-
claration, but the probabilities are that
no one will know what the financial
plank will be until the committee on re-
solutions reports. It may be the fight
as to the form of the resolution will be
carried to the convention. The financial
plank will be what we want; that is all
there is to it.p
The silver men were at first disposed
to aid the ultra gold men in securing the
straightest kind of declaration, but there
is an indication that they are not quite
SO enthusiastic in that direction as at
first. There are some who seem anxious
to make dramatic exit from the con-
vention hall, but the count up to date
finds number of waverers, and the pro-
liability that there would be representa-
tives of all the delegations left on the
floor makes the proposed grandstand
play seem a little doubtful as to the eff
feet. There is a disposition toward mod
Grafton among the prominent silver men,
which may make the bolt less preten-
tious than advertised.

Nomination of Eastern Man Is Now
Conceded.
ST. LOUIS, June 15.-It is generally
admitted that the large number of vice.
presidential candidates will necessitate
adjournment after the nomination of
the presidential candidate, and a conse-
quent delay in the work of the cOnven-
tion.
The New York delegation has given
up hopes of securing favorable answer
from Governor Morton, but will urge
him, if Mckinley is nominated to ac-
cept. Meantime, however, rumor is
busy with the name of j. Sloat Fasset of
New York, and his name is favorably
received by the Western delegates. The
boom for Garrett A. Hobart is being
pushed with great vigor and he willun
doubtedly prove a formidable autago-
mist to the many other men mentioned.
The Maine people have two candidates,
leaving out of consideration the move
ment in Dingley's favor. Senator Frye
and Governor Clews had open support
this morning in friendly rivalry. Nc
Kinley people busted themselves today
with the names of two Fasteners,
Chauncey M, Depew and Warner Miller.
Depew would be acceptable to the New
York factions, and Miller would not.
1t is the general view that the vice-pres-
identisl nomination shall 90 to the East.

Apples Cooked in Butter.

Pare and core six tart apples of equal
size and arrange them in baking dish
that is large enough to receive all the
apples on its fat surface. Place tea
spoon of sugar in the hollow of each
apple and a small quantity of any pre-
ferred spice. After they have begun to
bake haste them with scanty half cup
of water, in which level tablespoon
of butter has been melted, and repeat
the basting twice. The last basting
will use up the buttered water and the
apples should be done shortly after
ward. This preparation has very
dainty flavor, and it will present an at
tractive appearance if the fruit is not
broken. 1t is usually served hot for
breakfast, or for winter supper. Su-
gar may be busted over the apples
when taken from the oven, or if they
are to be eaten cold it may 'be added
just before sending to table.-Boston

panied him on many of his shortrambles
when she was very young. Long before
she was sent off to school the passion
for the chase had grown very strong
with this young lady.
When she returned from Hardin col
lege at about the age of 10, she brought
with her in addition TO her diploma,
very fine rifle. She had only been at
home a few days when she aroused her
fathers pride by displaying her skill
with the new weapon. A wild cat
sprang into a corral near the house and
attacked young calf. lola faced the
ferocious beast with her rifle, and sent.
a ball crashing through his brain. She
accompanied her father on many of his
long hunts.
The old gentleman always went on
foot while lola often rode fiery little
mustang. This gave her such an adj
vantage that she frequently got ahead
Of her father, enabling her to deliver
the shot that bagged the game. She is
certainly very brave girl. Upon one
occasion she heard her pack of hounds
baying bear. When she galloped to
the spot where the fight was in progress,
she found that the old bear had his
back against the roots of big pine
that was PROSTATE on the ground. He
had already wounded several of the
hounds. The little huntress aimed a
shot at the bears heart, but the cart
ridge failed to explode. Upon examin-
ing the magazine of her gun, she found
that it was empty. Some unfortuitous
circumstances had left her without q
single cartridge. Now, a bear hound is
worth great deal of money, and there
is no such thing as calling a hound
away from bear when bear and hounds
have once joined in fight.
The little huntress saw that she was
in danger of losing her pack, for the
bear was large and ferocious. She
sprang from her mustang, and, draw
ing big hunting knife, she jumped
up on the log and ran along until she
stood at the roots of the fallen tree,
right over the bear. Then with pow
a-1pi stroke she drove the knife to the

lust why sudden death should be shock
ing and death after lingering disease easy
to bear, would puzzle any one to tell. 1t
would seem that it would be more terrible
to see some loved one wasting away, daily

death no less certain because it was slow in
coming. Consumption causes more deaths
than heart disease more than cholera
more than yellow fever more than any

And yet people are careless about it. A man
in danger of sudden death from heart dis
ease can avoid the danger simply by keeping
quiet and avoiding excitement. Consump-

matter what the man does or how he con-
ducts himself, if he doesn't take the right
medicine to cure it. Consumption affects

PROF. THoMsoN's IDEA.
He Proposes Standard Tube for PrOduc-
ing ROentgen Rays.


ing ROentgen Rays.
Prof. Elihu Thomson writes in the
Electrical Review: 1.-THE observations
which have up to this time been made
as to the source of Roentgen rays point
TO the fact that the cathode rays must
strike some surface, which then be-
comes the Roentgen ray source. My
own observations make me think that
if the bombarded surface is of such
dense metal as platinum-which does
not fuoresce-the rays will be more en-
ergetic. Bearing in mind the observa-
tons and the fact that it is desirable
to possess Crookes tubes which are of
standard make and adapted for use
with high-frequency apparatus, Ruhm-
korff coils with oscillatory or uni-di-
rectional discharge, or with Wimshurst
or Holtz machines, have proposed as a
standard tube one which is represented

in the accompanying illustration. The
structure consists of bulb, at oppo-
site sides of which are mounted con-
cave aluminium disks supported on wires
sealed through the glass. The foci of
these concave electrodes coincide, near
ly, at the center of the bulb, at which
point is located V-shaped sheet of
platinum, iron, small piece of iridium,
or other piece of metal. This could be
supported in any way desired, but it
may be suggested, as a convenience,
that it be mounted on third or middle
terminal, so that it can be made an
anode. In using this tube with high
frequency currents the two cup-shaped
terminals are attached to the source of
electric currents, which alternately be-
come cathode during the discharges
and cause the Roentgen rays to be emit
ted from the apex of the platinum sheet,
or from the surface of the piece of metal
placed at the common focus. With os-
cillatory currents from @ Ruhmkorff
coil the same connections may be used
and even when the discharges are uni
directional the connection of either cup
shaped terminal as a cathode makes
the tube effective, but in this case the
middle terminal may be made the anode
and the other or cup-shaped terminal
double cathode, and thus give the
greatest amount of cathode surface
with but short distance to be trav-
ersed by the discharges, while the sharp
ness of the focus and, consequently,
the definition obtainable with the
Roentgen rays, remain unimpaired. If
the vacuum in such tube is too low,
it is also possible to raise it quickly
by constituting the middle terminal a
cathode for time, in which case metal
would be carried therefrom and de-
posted on the side of the bulb and
quickly absorb the residual gas. If dur
ing the working of the tube the vacuum
becomes too high, it can sometimes be
reduced by simply heating the tube to
a high temperature.
