ENTHUSIASTIC FOR REED.
81 sAke Of the Hou.a Renomtuated by

Speaker Of the Hou.a Renomtnated by
ACCLAIM alton.
PORTLAND. Me-, Aug. 3.-The Re.
publicans of the First congressional
district held their convention here.
After preliminary business, the name
OF Thomas B. Reed was presented to
the convention and he was nominated
by reclamation, amid much enthusiasm.
Later Mr.. Reed appeared on the
floor of the hall. He was greeted with
deafening applause, which prevailed
until Mr.. Reed began to speak. Then
some ~ shouted: "Take the plat.
form"
No." said Mr.. Reed, ''let me have
my way once" and the convention
broke into laughter.
Mr.. Reed then spoke as follows:
Il am very grateful for your contln.
ued kindness to me, and being in Port
land, it is not unsuitable for me to
come here and say so.
Il have no other purpose than this.
a newspaper the other day announced
that I would come here and open the
campaign. That is not so. I shall not
open any campaign for the simple
reason that there seems to be no cam.
paign to open.
In this district there appears to be
thus far great harmony in both parties
as to the great issues of the past, and I
shall leave to somebody else the task of
disturbing it. All over the country,
also, there is a dearth of political feel.
ing. Inever knew less Of it in all the
years in which I have known Of such
things. To me this seems fortunate
for the country. I do not refer to the
war alone. The wal is taking care of
itself. and seems likely to be soon
finished by the fighting qualities of
our soldiers; qualities not diminished
by 80 years of peace, and by the skill
of our naval gunners, engineers and
sailors, which skill the general educa.
ton of our people seems to have won.
derfully increased. The unfaltering
courage of both soldiers and sailors is a
Cause OF Pride to Every American.
1.-The problems after he wal will be
the most troublesome, and will demand
the most earnest efforts Of US all. For
my part, l hope that all these problems
may be worked out consistently with
our time.honored and dearly bought
institutions, and with the traditions of
our wise forefathers.
Returning to the purpose for which
I came here, l renew my thanks to you
for your continued and u~nvarying
good will.
"That good will, permit me to say,
has not consisted half so much in be.
slowing and continuing to bestow on
me a position Of distinction, as it has
in the large liberty you have always
given me in interpreting your wishes.
I am proud to say that that considera.
ton is not the characteristic of my
district, but of the whole State OF
Maine"
After adopting resolutions endorsing
Mr.. Reed and endorsing the declara.
ton of principles made by the Repub.
lican state convention last June, the
convention adjourned.

the trlpartite agreement, which, in all
probability, will be on the basis of Civ.
ing the lieutenant governor to the free
silver Republicans, the attorney gen.
eral to the Democrats and the balance
of the state ticket to the Populists. AS
to the head of the ticket around which
greatest interest centers, Governor Hol.
comb is more frequently mentioned as
a possible compromise candidate, but it
is doubtful if he would accept,
with his knowledge Of Populist
opposition to a third term. A
story was started connecting the name
of w. j. Bryan with the gubernatorial
nomination, but it was quickly denied
as absurd by delegates who claimed to
be able to speak for Mr.. Bryan. One
feature has been the surprising strength
developed by J.. H. Edmiston, the pres.
ent state oil inspector and chairman of
the Populist state central committee.
1t is generally conceded that the choice
for head Of the ticket lies between Ed.
mission, Thompson, Gaffin and Weir.

Judge Thompson. The three conven.
tons will be called to order at 2:3O and

Reports Rather Exaggerated.

FRESNO, CAL, Aug. 3. Information
received from the various cattle raising
centers Of this district show that re.
ports as to the thousands of animals
dying have been greatly exaggerated.
The cattle are thin in many parts of the
district, but few have died from lack

Life on Tristan d'Acunha.

The governor of st. Helena gives an 40
count in his last report Of a visit which he
lately paid to Tristan d'Acunha. This lit
tie island lies about 1 800 miles almost
due south of ST. Helena and about the same
distance west of the cape of Good Hope.
The governor found the 81 inhabitants,
consisting of 10 adult males and 23 females
and 20 children, under the control of the
aged Peter w. Green, in excellent health
and desiring the help of the chaplain
rather than of the doctor of the ship. The
climate Is an admirable one and the gen.
eral condition of the Inhabitants leaves
little to be desired from material point
Of view The live stock consists of 600 cat
tie, 500 sheep, few pigs and donkeys,
some poultry and a large number of geese.
The settlement consists of stone built cot
tages scattered over common, lying at
the foot of the PERCEPTIONS and lofty noun
tain. The inhabitants are total abstainers,
and they certainly form, says Governor
Wilson, strong argument In favor OF tee
totalism. Occasional expeditions are made

10 Was First Seen In the West In the
Year 1913.

The first man with the courage to carry
an umbrella In London was Jonas Han
way, who died there In 1885 and was
honored with monument In Westminster
abbey. The monument was not for his
courage In carrying an umbrella, but for
his philanthropy, he being the founder or
tho Marine Education and Magdalen So
cieties and tho author of 20 pamphlets, In
which he outlined as many benevolent
schemes He started out with his umbrella
about the year 1850, and the year after he
died an Englishman advertised "a great
assortment of much approved and portable
umbrellas" So that Jonas last philan-
thropic enterprise was fairly established in
England in 1887 Whenever you see
picture of a Quaker you see man pictured
with an umbrella In his hand. The Quak-
ers took up the umbrella and those who
came over after Jonas time brought UNI
brellas with them. Philadelphia was the
first seat of umbrella manufacture in this
country, and 1t is the chief seat of 1t now.
1t Is said In the books TO have been begun
there about the year 1900, but from other
authority we learn that the firm of Wright
& Fenner was making umbrellas there as
early as 1896. That Is a small matter. The
great matter Is that the umbrella Is a
Quaker institution.
When did the umbrella find It's way
across the mountains? In 1908 man
came to this town and wrote certain things
about us In book. In that he makes pa
thetic mention of the skimming of his
heels on the hard walk and of divers and
sundry drenchings he got on the way. He
came from Philadelphia, and it is not like
ly that the umbrella was In very general
use then, or he would not have ventured
on such journey in tempestuous weather
without one. Probably at that time on,
| had not been seen more than a days jour
ney west of Philadelphia, or within thu
| Quaker range We think the umbrella wal
| naturalized In this town, about 1918
which, II we mistake not, was the year TIT
national pike was opened. People cam'
often in stages from Philadelphia afte
that year and we think we have seen pic
lures of them, brave, respectable, will
thick neckties, stiff hats and coat collar
reaching nearly to the tops of their heads
sitting on the roofs Of the stages, holding
umbrellas. -Pittsburg Times.
