breeze here. coming from the Atlantic
ocean, a mile away. One of the great
est pleasures and pastimes for the men
is the surf bathing. Every day thous-
ands go to the beach and indulge in a
swim. A sad accident happened this
morning near the Beach Hotel. One
OF the men of the Pennsylvania
regiment was carried out by the

OF the First Georgia regiment, who
made heroic attempt, were unable to
save him. Several members of this

care at bathing, and not to venture out
too far.

their abiding faith and answering
support of the fundamental principles
of popular government, wherein all laws
should be enacted for the benefit of the
masses, and SO administered as to Sc
cure to all classes of our citizens equal
protection and compel the rich as well
as the poor to bear their proportionate
share of the public burden.
2. We rejoice in the vigorous and sue.
cessful prosecution of the war against
Spanish tyranny, acknowledge unspeak-
able gratitude and pledge everlasting
honor and obligation to the brave de-
tenders of the principles of justice and
liberty as they are supremely enunciated
by the United States; and sincerely
hope that peace may come on our terms
of freedom for the oppressed Spanish
subjects without the sacrifice of an
other life.
3. We, also, hereby renew our fealty
to Democratic principles as enunciated
in the Chicago platform Of 1896. and to
the Democratic state platform of 1898;
roa FIJI rp Our admiration of that ilInotri
Gus soldier citizen and unfaltering
friends of his country and the welfare
OF Its tOiling millions, William Jennings

perative necessity of restricting the
power of corporate greed and in broad
ening our currency into ample proper
tions to meet the requirements of our
rapidly increasing volume of business

both gold and silver at the ratio of Is
to l.
4. We demand the adoption of fair,
just, and equitable tax on incomes as
the best means of compelling the

constitution of the United States, if
necessary, to accomplish this desired
purpose.
5. We declare it as our firm convic-
tion that the interests of the masses of
our people will be best subserved by
the levying of only such tariff duties
as will provide sufficient revenue for
the needs of the government econom-
icslly administered.
&. We demand that appropriate legis-
lation be enacted to more clearly define
the duties and powers of courts in the
issuing of writs restraining citizens of
their rights without trial by jury.

ORPHANS HOME HERE
NORTHERN INDIANA ORPHANS
HOME NEAR PLYMOUTH.

Now Located at Laporte. Has Secured q
Farm Near City Limits and Will Com
mence Building at Once.

The Northern Indiana Orphans home
will soon be located in Marshall county,
the farm selected for the home being
about one mile north of Plymouth on
the Michigan road.
Julia +. Work, the matron of the
home, which is at present located at
Laporte, is in the city and informs us
that all arrangements have been made
for the removal to this county. She
already has the title for a 25.acre strip
of land, and expects to have a $4,000
building completed by the first of
December. The plans and specifca-
tions have been made. Heretofore she
has been paying rental of 5000 year
for the Laporte County farm and she
figures that 1t will be great saving to
build on her own farm in this county.
This home is private institution,
though supported by ten counties in
the northern part of the state. The
matron receives payment from the
counties for each child taken into the
home and for each one placed in good
families.
There are at present forty-ive in
mates of the home, but the new build
ing rill be able to accommodate over q
hui lred.
Arrangements have already been
made with the township authorities re
garding the schooling of these children
1t is understood that school building
will be erected and maintained at the
expense of the township.
Julia Z. Work, the matron was born
and reared in Marshall county. and has
many relatives and friends here.

She Slept Sixty Hours.

The thirteen-year-old daughter of
Mrs. Mary Reece, of this city, retired as
usual last Friday night and slept
steadily until 700 o'clock Monday morn
ing. She had felt indisposed the day
preceding her long nap, but in no way
during 1t, or since, has she complained
of sickness. The unnatural drowsiness
and long period of sleep are unaccount-
ed for.

MIR. Zimmerman asked permission to
make statement. He confessed to
having some congressional aspirations,
but since coming here he had instructed
his delegates not to present his name.
His reasons were purely private. 1t
was not that he considered the race
hopeless, for this is democratic year.
He thanked his friends for the support
thus far given and asked permission to
withdraw his name.
Mr.. hathaway was declared duly
nominated, and then the band pro-
ceeded to play amidst great enthusiasm.
Mr.. Place was recognized and made
a motion that Mr.. Hathaway be made
the unanimous choice of the conven-
tion, which was done with another en-
thusiastic Outburst.
The committee on resolutions, through
its chairman, Col. II. Nj. j Johnson, made
it's report.
Mr.. Hathaway, the nominee, was
then presented and enthusiastically re-
celved. lie proceeded to say that he
had never had any thought of being a
candidate. He recognized the fact
that it would not be walk away
Someone in the crowd said, "No, it
will be Hathawayr'l He wanted all
democrats to contribute their mite to
that success and gave the resolutions
his unqualified endorsement. Mr.. Hath
away said he had never met the nomi-
nee of the opposition, but understands
the latter is an honored citizen of South
Bend. We will "bottle the enemy
and 1t will then be Hobson's choice.

The South Bend Times gives the fol.
lowing account of the Congressional
convention held in that city Wednesday.
1t may be stated as positive fact
that up to last saturday there was not
an avOwed candidate for the Democratic
congressional nomination in the district
and 1t is equally true that the gentle
men most prominently named in con-
nection with the nomination had not
fully made up their minds five hours
before the convention was called to or.
der. This, in itself, is proof conclusive
that the convention was absolutely free
to choose standard bearer without be-
ing ia anywise hampered by log-rolIing
or promises.
The delegates who arrived in the
morning spent the time in canvassing
the merits of the several gentlemen
named in connection with the nomina-
tion. This was done in a thoroughly
friendly manner, SO pleasing to those
who have had experience in conventions
where acrimony and elimination and
recrimination largely predominated
The chief aim of the delegates seemed
to be to find man to whom the leader.
ship of the party in this district could
be safely intrusted and who could be
depended on to carry sloft the banner
of Democracy in the campaign of 1898.
BY o'clock all the counties were
found to be represented, and under the
inspiring music of Elbel's Third Regi.
ment Band, the delegates and others
marched to Turner Hall, where, at the
appointed hour, the convention was
called to order by District Committee
man Peter Kruger, of Plymouth.
Hon. Benjamin Shively was chosen
permanent chairman of the convention,
amid enthusiastic applause. Mr.. Shively
spoke at some length on the issues be-
tween the two great political parties.
The Democracy, he said. gave q united
support to the administration in the
war in which the country Is now en-
gagged. He compared the action of the
opposition to the Democratic admins
tration during the wars of 1872 and 1916
with the loyal attitude of the great
democratic party today. The leader of
the democracy in 1896 proved his
patriotism not only by supporting the
administration, but proved it by going
to the front and rendering his services
to the government. Great applause. }
Referring to the much talked of Anglo
Saxon alliance MIR. Shively said that be-
fore it should be considered let the
Anglo-Saxons of Europe prove their
sincerity by christianizing themselves.
Hearty applause followed this remark,
and the convention then proceeded
with the business before it.
Elkhart county moved that district
secretary, Julius Rowley, act as perma-
nent secretary of the convention.
Adopted.
ton OF committee of one from each
county on resolutions. Adopted.
The committee on resolutions were
