Since the adoption Of It's constitu-
lion in 1777, New York has had thirty
one governors. Not one wrote his mid
ole name out in full. Fourteen had no
middle name. There never was a can
didate for governor. with the single
exception of John Boyd Thacher. who
spread his name out to the fullest ex-
tent and reveled in pride when he
looked upon it. Toe John Boyd we
should feel indebted. 1T is the literary
instinct. the cult of James Russell Lo-
Wen, William Wadsworth Longfellow
William Cullen Bryant, William Gill
more Simms, Oliver Wendell Holmes,
George Edgar Montgomery and Laura
Jean Libbey which we must thank for
knowledge Of the Boyd in Thacher's
name. % ST
But for the cult mentioned In the
foregoing paragraph we should prob
ably have never known Henry Cabot
Lodge, the handsomest of senators. He
would have been simply Henry c..
Lodge, which sounds strange. The
swell society set. in order to distin-
guish themselves from men in trade and
walters in waiting, have adopted the
first initial and the full second name.

Edward Simmons, D. Russell Bown, O..

Seaver Page and ]. Harper Bonnell
The English style is to have as many
names as possible, so that If a man
does not like a gentleman, and has not
the manners Of one, he can redeem him
self by the responsibility of his names
A century ago most Of the great men
of the world had no middle names.
They were George Washington, Napo
leon Bonaparte, Thomas Jefferson,
John Adams, James Madison, George
Clinton, John Jay, Morgan Lewis, In
crease Sumner, Caleb Strong, Isaac
Wilbur and all the rest. A middle
name was a rarity. We have among
us at this day not a few who have
dropped their middle names for one
reason or another. Charles Wallace
Brooke (never forget the .'Wallace'')
says there Is no middle name in law.

was the parade of the vessels in New
York harbor tonight under the auspices
of the Shipping and Industrial Sound
Money Association of the Port of New
York. The parade was a demonstra-
ton on the part Of business men and
others who favor the gold standard,
and many weeks have been devoted to
the preparation for the event Nearly
300 vessels, including every description
of river craft, made UP the Illuminated
and decorated fotilla which extended
for nearly seven miles along the Hud-
son river and into the waters of the
bay.
All the vessels were brilliantly dec
GRATED with colored lights, political de-
vices and bunting. Many were equipped
with calcium and flash lights, and
beams of light shot across the path
Of the vessels from various points along
either shore. From piers along the
river front on both sides of the Hudson
and from floats anchored at various
points on the route, fireworks were ex-
ploded.
The most imposing display was at the
Battery, where the reviewing boat,
Aurora, took up her position after lead
ing the parade from the starting point.
At the Battery floating piece entitled
8 The Mckinley Bouquet" was produced
simultaneously by the discharge of 5000
colored rockets. The parade was divid-
ed into four divisions, and each division
into four squadrons.- ]. w. Miller was
in command as admiral on board the
tug Baltimore. The propeller Aurora
was the reviewing boat. Soon after
z o'clock she, with Gen. E. C. O'Brien
and the reception committee on board,
left for Jersey City, where she took on
board Vice Presidential Candidate Ho-
bart and his party. @
The shores on both sides of the river
were black with people along the route
of the pageant. From every house top
that commanded a glimpse of the river
people watched the spectacle, and many
of the down town business buildings
where spectators assembled were IL
Illuminated.

BOWLING GREEN, KY, Oct. "a
Secretary Carlisle delivered the second
of his Kentucky campaign speeches in
this city this afternoon. His reception
was entirely cordial and free from any
attempt at insult. He arrived on the
early train and was conveyed to his
hotel where he remained until noon,
being visited by hundreds of citizens
who paid their respects and gave him
assurance of fair treatment while here.
The secretary spoke at Potters opera
house, which was crowded For an
hour and a half Mr.. Carlisle was lis
tened to with rapt attention and was
enthusiastically applauded. The extra
police put on duty by the mayor, found
nothing to do. If the hoodlum element
was present 1t was afraid to make any
sort of demonstration. In the audience
were quite a large number of ladies
with numerous floral offerings.
Mr.. Carlisle was wildly cheered at
the close of his speech and met with
very fiattering ovation throughout in
Bowling Green. When he had con-

for congress in the Third district, as

This city never held such crowd as
came today to hear Secretary Carlisle.

precautions were taken to prevent any
disturbance. Mayor Mallory swore in
a large number Of special policemen,
who were stationed at various points
In the opera house, and they had in
structions to use vigorous measures in
the event any one offered to insult the
speaker in any manner.
All the morning Mr.. Carlisle received
a constant stream Of callers at his
hotel, and was accorded unusual evil
dence Of the esteem in which he is held
in Southern Kentucky. Among the
distinguished men here were United
States Senator J. r. House.. Of Clarks-
vile, Tenn. Mr.. Carlisle arrived at the
opera house at 1 o'clock, and was in

eye is an admirable instrument, but its

astronomer, on the other hand, vastly sur
passes the natural eye in these particulars;
reaches farther and makes an unerring rec
ord Of its visions. It requires but the half
thousandth part of second for an observa-
ton and within that brief period accurately
maps the whole field in view. Directed to-
ward any point Of the sky it diseerns in the
depths OF Infinite space worlds the human
eye has never seen and never could see, even

remarkable display Of phosphorus

officers and passengers of the Mer-

which arrived yesterday. During Mon
day night the whole lower part of the
bay was aglow with the white light
The Fairfax steamed through the phe-
nomenon for two and a half hours,
blowing her way through thirty miles
of it. 1t is believed that the phos-
phoresence extended from the mouth
of the bay to Smiths Point, a distance
of 100 miles.
The Fairfax first met the light, which
an old sea superstition says is made UP
Of seamen's shrouds, off the Wolf Trap.
The night was calm and dark, but the
stars were out Suddenly q great

the east shore. 1t shimmered gently

the steamer was among the cleaning
stretches, turning aside great jets of
jewels from her bows, hundreds of
bright sea green bubbles rushed past
the steamers sides, and danced and
tumbled astern in a gleeful wake Of
wilderness. After an hour OF calmness
the wind came out Of the north and
kicked up a bit Of a sea. All the white
caps round about chased one another
with Illuminated crests. Old Neptune

fuses officially over the signature of
the President of the society to extend
any aid to the suffering Cubans, or
even entertain a proposal to that end.

ciety, distinctively American in its
constitution, then where does the first
claim come in? Fortunately for Gu
