IGNORE SILVER
NEW YORK DEMOCRATS NOMI-
NATE STATE TICKET AND
ADOPT PLATFORM.
Are Satisfied With God-Congratulate
County Upon Successful Termina-
ton OF War, Undertaken in the In
terest Of Humanity, Liberty and
Civilization-Blame Officers.

Now York, Sept. 29.-The democratic
convention Of New York state today
named this ticket:
Governor, Augustus Van Wyck, of
Kings; l%ieutenent governor, Elliott
Danforth, Chenago; secretary of state,
George w. Baton, Niagara; comptrol-
Ter, Edward w. Auwater, Duchess; state
treasurer. E. P. Morris, Wayne; attor-
ney general, Thomas F. Conway, Clin-
ton; state engineer and surveyor, Mar
tin Schench, Rensselaer,.
The convention was very harmoni-
Gus the only contest being for the NOM
ination Of governor and only one bal
lot being taken or that. The platform
makes no reference to the gold or sill
yer question. 1t congratulates the
country upon the successful termina-
ton of the war undertaken-not for
conquest or aggrandizement, but in the
interests OF humanity. liberty and civil
%lization; glories in the patriotic devo-
ton Of our brave soldiers and sailors
who honored the American people and
'heighten the luster of our national
fame, and says the scandalous abuse by
the president Of the power Of appoint
ment in scattering the army commits
sicns among inexperienced and incom-
petent civilians as rewards to personal
favorites, and that to the exclusion Of
experienced officers in the service, is
largely accountable for the fearful suf-
fering and appalling loss OF life among
the gallant soldiers, That has brought
disgrace upon the administration and
a Of shame to the nation. A
democratic congress will. II chosen by
the people, rigidly investigate the on
duct Of the war and expose and punish
all who may be responsible for the un-
necessary deaths, %privations and suf-
ferings Of the soldiers.

HOBSON GIVEN FULL SWAY.
Navy Department Gives Him a Good
Outfit to Raise the Colon.

Washington, Sept. 29.-Assistant
Secretary Allen, who has been directly
in charge of the arrangements made
with the wrecking companies for rails
ing such Of the Spanish warships sunk
or stranded in the battle of July 3 as
can be recovered, said today, referring
to Constructor Hobson's work on the
Teresa. that the navy department had
given the young constructor all the as
sistance which it vas possible to ex-
tend in the prosecution of his work.
Moreover, it now proposes to give him
further aid in his effort to rise the
Colon, by far the finest ship Of the
Spanish squadron. Whatever credit
that has been earned by Constructor
Hobson by reason OF the Teresa would,
in the opinion OF Mr.. Allen, be largely
exceeded II the attempt to raise the
Colon proves successful. In the case
OF this ship the young constructor has
pledged his professional reputation
against the unanimous opinion of all
other experts who have examined the
ship. Yet the navy department is I'M
hesitatingly supporting Hobson's judg-
ment, as is indicated by the fact that it
shipped yesterday from New York, 800
600 worth Of specially constructed bags
to be used in lifting the Colon. Aside
from the sentimental reason for a
department is satisfied from the reports
Of the divers who have examined her
condition. that she is well worth, from
a purely monetary point Of view, the
expenditure of a considerable percent
age Of her original value, about $4,000
900. II there Is any reasonable prospect
Of raising her.

HAY WILL GO IN TOMORROW.

Leading Questions.

Washington. Sept. 29.-Acting Sec
rotary Adee called upon Secretary of

No class of roads is sharing in a more
prominent degree in the renewed
prosperity of carrying interests than
the Pacific roads, and particularly those
lying to the north The new Union
Pacific company has declared it's first
dividend on its preferred stock. The
stock is SIS, O0O, 900, and the dividend
is to be IL per cent, calling for $1,125,-
900. Divorced from government con-
troll. the property is evidently doing
well. The dividend is on the basis of
the operations for the six months end
ing June 80, 1898. A statement is sub
mitted showing that in these six
months the company earned a surplus
above charges OF 81, 796, 685, not includ-
ing the operations OF the branch lines
which are to form parts of the system
and which, it is estimated, for the past
six months netted a surplus of SAG. 659.
The Pacific coast company, too (suc-
cessor to the Oregon improvement
company seemed to present about as
hopeless a case as any with which rail-
road reorganizers have had to deal. Yet
the marvellous Industrial revival on the
North Pacific coast has turned even
this property into a paying concern
again. The first dividend distributed
on the new securities was made last
July, and consisted Of 8 per cent on the
first preferred stock and l per cent on
the second preferred stock. This is now
followed by a further dividend of 3 per
cent on the second preferred stock
(making the full 4 per cent to which
that stock is entitled) and a dividend
of l per cent on the common stock.

stock. it Is proper to say. is small

A OF THE CAT.

All the cats habits show it to be by
nature a solitary animal, says Louis
Robinson in wild Traits in Tame Ami
mails" Even in early life, when family
ties bring out the instinct of associa-
ton, this is apparent. If you compare
the play of puppies with that of kittens
you will find in one case that compan-
ionship OF some kind is essential. for
if a puppy has no playmate of its own
sepcies he will always try to make one
of the nearest biped; whereas a cork
or a bit of string is all that is necessary
to satisfy the requirements Of the kit
ten. The way in which the cat takes
its food is a sure sign that in its nat
ural state it is not in the habit Of as
sociating with greedy companions.
When given something to eat it first
carefully smells the morsel, then takes
1t in a deliberate and gingerly way,
and sits down to finish it at leisure.
Their is none Of that inclination to
snatch hastily at any food held before
1T which we observe even in we'll train
ed dogs, nor does a cat seem in any
hurry to stow its goods in the one place
where thieving rivals cannot interfere
with them. Indeed no greater con-
trast in table can be observed
anywhere than when we turn from the
kennel or the pigsty and watch the
dainty way in which the cat takes its
meals. That a cat allows people to
approach it while feeding without
showing jealousy proves that it does
not attribute to human beings like
tastes with it's own,

MISS WINNIE DAVIS DEAD.
The Daughter of the Confederacy Sue
cumbs TO MalariaI TrOubles-Sick
for Several Weeks.

NARRAGANsETT PIER R. l., Sept. 10.
Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Mrs.
Jefferson Davis, died at noon Sunday
at the Rockingham hotel, to which
plsce she came as guest in the early
part of the Piers social season. She
had been i'll for several weeks, and a
fortnight ago her condition became
very serious so that consultations of
physicians were deemed ne cessary,
but frequent rallies gave renewed
hope that she would ultimately re-
cover.
Miss Winnie Davis, the Daughter
of the Confederacy, was born in the
confederate executive mansion, at
Richmond, Va, in 1868. She was edu-
Gated principally at home, owing to
the trouble surrounding her father
and the publicity which attended all
movements of the Davis family.
