COL. THEODORE ROOsEYELT.

Black" The various war horses came
in for their share of the appreciation
of the convention when reference was
made to them. A mention of the charge
of the rough riders at San Juan hill
brought the convention to its feet
with great outburst of demonstrative
expression. The delegates stood in
their places and cheered. Senator Platt
Joined the other delegates.
The report of the committee on reso-
lutions was called for, but General
Woodford, chairman of that commit
tee, was not present to present 1t, the
original draft of the platform having
been amended at the meeting of the
committee.
The convention decided to proceed
with the nominations, and ]. Rider
Cady, of Hudson, who nominated Gov
ernor Black two years ago, took the
platform to perform the same service.
Mr., Cady was frequently interrupted
with applause. Judge Cady finished
amid tremendous applause, his clos
Ing remark about Governor Blacks
faithfulness to the ticket calling forth
the enthusiasm of the audience.
At 4:55 o'clock Chauncey NJ. Depew
took the platform to nominate Theo-
dore Roosevelt. For some minutes Mr..
Depew could not begin his speech for
the applause that ensued. Those por-
tions of his speech relating TO Presi-
dent Mckinley We're received with
much applause, and there was a vigor-
Gus reception of the tribute to Gov
ernor Black. When Mr.. Depew told OF
the famous charge Of the rough riders
and mentioned Colonel Roosevelt the
audience went almost crazy. Every
man was on his feet and vociferously
cheering.
When Mr.. Depew had reached the
point in his speech where he alluded
to the non effect of Mauser bullets on
Colonel Roosevelt two or three men
rushed down the aisle bearing a big
portrait of Roosevelt In rough rider
uniform. There was three minute
interruption, and the picture was taken
to the stage and set up,
Mr.. Depew finished at 5:25, amid ap-
plause that was almost IA pandemonium
Then followed speeches seconding the
nominations, and Elihu Root, who had
been substituted as delegate in the
convention, was called to the platform
by the chairman, and made a statement
as to the eligibility of Mr.. Roosevelt
to hold office. He said that Mr.. Roose-
welt had always voted in Oyster Bay
and had merely removed personal
property TO Washington, lie had all
ways paid taxes in oyster Bay and
had merely refused to pay taxes on
property he was using in Washington
and by his affidavit he merely said
that he was not resident of New
York.
At 7:15 Secretary of State Palmer
moved a roll call and the motion was
adopted. At 7:4l the roll call was COM
pleted, and the vote was announced as
follows Roosevelt, 1853; Black. 21S. Then
the auditors and the delegates rose in

got the floor and moved the unanimous
nomination. While the question was
pending Senator Krum, who had sup
ported Governor Black, said: "On be-
half Of Governor Black and his friends.
say that they will stand by Theodore
Roosevelt as he stood by the country"
The nomination was made unani-
nous, and at 7:46 the convention took
recess until 9 o'clock On reassem-
bling the platform was presented and
adopted, the ticket completed and the
convention adjourned sine die.

The State Board of Pardons met in Harris
burg this afternoon, when Controller Charles
A. Snyder made plea for the pardsn of
Thomas j. Joyce editor OF the Mahanoy
City Black Diamond, who is now in the
penitontiary. Many petitions, signed by
hundreds of citizens of the county and many
letters from prominent men have been pre-.
sented to the pardon board. The people
believe that the sentence imposed upon Mr..
Joyce in the Dauphin county court was
entirely too severe and he has served a
sufficient time for his offense. No word had
been received at a late hour this afternoon as
to the result of the Boards deliberations.

ROOSEVELT

AN ENTHUSIASTIC CONVENTION.

Every Reference to Both Roosevelt

ed, But the Vote on Nomination
Vast Roosevelt, 1853; Black, 2Is.
Saratoga N. Y, Sept. 2S.-The Re-
publican state convention nominated
the following ticket yesterday: For

ter Bay; lieutenant governor Timothy

state, John r. MCDonough of Albany;
state treasurer, John b. Jaeckel of Cay
uga; state engineer, Edward A. Bond
of Jefferson; attorney general, John c.
Davies of Oneida.
The convention was most en-
thusiastic one throughout. The open
ing session was confined to the naming
of committees. Congressman Serene
e. Payne, as temporary chairman,
evoked the cheers of the delegates by
his references to President Mckinley
and the conduct Of the war.
The delegates were slow in reas-
sembling after recess. At 3:45 the
officers Of the convention had all re-
turned, but the delegates were still in
confusion. AS soon, however, as the
gavel fell the committee on permanent
organization reported the permanent
officers of the convention, including
Senator Horace White, of Syracuse, for
chairman The committee on creden-
tials reported that for the first time
in years there were no duties to per-
form in the committee, there being no
contests.
Senator White. on taking the chair,
made an able address, in the course of
which he paid a glowing tribute to the
administration of Governor Black.
The mention of Governor Blacks
name by Chairman White was the oc-
caslon of laundering applause, which
was followed by three cheers. The
speaker was interrupted for fully two
minutes. He was about to recommence
when a voice in the gallery shouted,
I'VE will have Black or no man."
which expression called forth another
storm of applause. Reference to the
services of Senator Platt at Washing
ton was also the occasion of an out
burst
At another period of his speech he
was interrupted by voice in the rear
of the hall shouting: I'VE must have

CURLING IN AMERICA,
A scotch Game Zcalously Cultivated
by ScOtchmen,

The game of curling has secured a
firm place among the winter sports in
all parts of the country where there
is heavy ice and where there are
Scotchmen to teach the game to their
American neighbors. There are about
so curling clubs in the United States,
and the Grand National Curling club
Of America has a membership of many
hundreds in all parts of the north and
northwest; but still the game is spoken
of as "Scotland's ain game"
The game is always played on ice
covered lakes or rivers, except in Eng
land, where it is frequently played un-
der glass roofs by men whose white
waistcoats, straw hats, floral dccora-
tions and general lack of Scotch style
cause the real curriers' to regard them
with scorn.
The curriers' who are members of the
New York clubs have their contests
on Van Cortlandt lake, and there is
probably no class Of sportsmen who
go about game so seriously as they.
The object of the game is to plant
the curling-stone, which has a tea-ket-
tie shape and weighs from 80 to Al
pounds, near the "tee," or center of a
circle at distance of 40 yards, and to
guard it there.
Next to the stone, the broom plays
the most important part in the game
of curling, because, in the hands of n
sweeper who is anxious to see the stone
count, it is welded dcxterously, so that
every particle of snow or ice may be re-
moved from the stones course. The
"skips." or captains, of the opposing
sides have charge of the sweeping de-
partments, and the sweepcrs have TIE
right to use their brooms after the
stone has got beyond the line which
marks the middle of the rink. The
sweeping Is always to n side or across
the rink and not forward or backward,
where the sweepings might obstruct
the passage of running stone.
Match games, called bonspiel, are
played by opposing teams of four each,
and when it is ut home curling is es-
sentially democratic. 1t has been said
that the lord of the manor, the clergy
man and the village blacksmith may be
seen on the same rink with the smith
rs skip" shouting to the clergyman
to "Soop, soop!" when he thinks q
"soop," or sweep, in front Of the moving
stone will help it along.
The enthusiastic curler sees and hears
nothing but the speeding stones and the
applause, the shouts of "Weel curled,
mon!" and the boyish shouts which rise
on the wintry mir show that a youthful
spirit may live in mature body, par
ticularly il it be that Of Scotch
curler.-N. Y. Tribune.

PreDariuu Buttcr for Market,

There is one point to which l want to
call your attention in regard to work
ing and putting up the butter. Adopt
a trademark. Then, when your butter
goes to market it will make no diff
ference in what part of the country
you find It you will be able to swear
to it. Make it uniform and make 1t
look attractive. If it only catches the
eye of one here and there it makes n
market for your butter. Print all
prints alike. advocate print butter
for the farmers because they are able
to do It better and it helps the trade.
Turn out a good quality Of butter,
make IL look nice and send 1t to mar
ket and you farmers will have no rea-
son to complain Of low prices because,
people will find you are selling good
article that looks nice when it comes
onto the table.-Farmers' Review.
