The Famous Minister'S Experience

With Coffee.
The welf-known bishop said to one
Of his friends, some years ago, Il was
a great sufferer from severe headaches,
and at times after travelling many miles

other important duty, found myself
confined to a bed when, the time came,
and was unable to carry out my work.
/ finally discovered that when left on
coffee for few days, the head5ches
disappeared, and by further experiment
discovered that tIe-coffee was undoubt-
eddy the cause Of the difficulty, which
finally entirely disappeared when left
off coffee altogether"
The person to whom this remark was
made IL Mrs Amy x. Glass, WIFE OF Q
Methodist minister at Role, Ia she
SAYS: "My own experience With cotLee

vised by a friend Cwho meant 1t kindly

To the Editor OF the Intelllgencer.
SIR:-My name has been given some
mention IN tho last few days relative TO
my making the race for the Republican
nomination for chief OF police at the next
city primaries, and while am grateful 70
my friends for the kind interest displayed,
/ wish to say that will not be a candl-
date, for the reason that / do not desire
to oppose the present incumbent for sec
ond term. The argument was used against
mo when ran three years ago that the
incumbent should be given second term,
according to an unwritten law, and In COM
piihnce with this custom Will not be a
candidate against the present chief. In
this am adherlnE to the argument nd-
vanced In favor Of the successful candidate

His Delegation Concludes TO Let Him on
and Indorse Woodruff.
Philadelphia, June 20. - The New
York delegation was called to order
last night by Chauncey NJ. Depew, the
chairman. Sixty delegates We're pre-
sent OF the Seventy-two. Governor
Roosevelt arrived promptly. Chairman
Depew said the meeting was called for
the purpose of deciding whether The
New York state delegation should act
upon 4 nomination for vice president.
Governor Roosevelt had made Il state
ment of his position, but that state
ment had not stopped the sentiment in
his favor. He moved that Lieutenant
Governor Woodruff he allowed the priv
ileges of the floor for the purpose OF
making a statement and This was Or
dered Woodruff said in brief that il
New York wanted any one else he
would get of the track, but if New
York did not indOrse some other man
he asked their Endorsement.
Governor Roosevelt said that II was
due to Woodruff that Il should say one
word as TO my position. 1t is simply
to ask you 10 take the words / have
uttered at their face value. If you
don't think ! mean them you don't be-
lieve in me for vice president or any
thing else. but il you think l mean
them. then | ask you to stand with me.
After long consultation with many
men-not a few OF whom are present
here tonight definitely took the po-
Sition that | did not wish TO be nom
mated for vice president: that If the
Republican party chose TO renominate
me for governor / should be pleased To
accep- I took that position not in the
least from regard 10 my own personal
Pedilections but in the belief that
there l could do the best service-the

lection of the Isthmian canal by the
United States, recommends the con-
gress to create q department of COM

tary with a seat in the cabinet.
Reference to South African War.
The reduction of war taxes is IA
vored; also the reorganization of the
consular service. McKinley's con-
duct of foreign affairs is highly COM
mended. I'VE commend the part
taken by our government in the peace
conference at The Hague. We assert
our steadfast adherence to the policy
announced in the Monroe doctrine.
The provision of The Hague con-
vention was wisely regarded when
Mckinley extended friendly offices
in the interest of peace between Great
Britain and the South African repub-
lies. While the American govern
ment must continue the policy de-
scribed by Washington and affirmed
by every succeeding president n
posed upon us by The Hague treaty
Of non-intervention in European con-
troversies, the American people ear
nestly hope the way may soon be
found honorable alike to both contend
ing parties to terminate the strife be-
tween them.
The platform says there was no
other course possible than to destroy
Spain's sovereignty throughout the
West Indies and the Philippines. 1t
is an international obligation, a re-
sponsibility that wherever our SOW
ereign rights extended to maintain
authority. to put down armed insur-
rection and confer the blessings of
liberty and civilization upon all res
cued people.
To Cuba independence and self
government is assured in the same
voice by which the war was declared.
and to the letter this pledge will be
performed.
At the conclusion of the reading of
the platform at it was unanimously
adopted and at 3:13 the convention
adjourned until IL tom borrow.

Then there was 4 discussion, each
member giving his views. All agreed
that New York should have the vice
presidential candidate: some were for
taking Roosevelt at his word and 9TH
ers for insisting on his announcing
that he would accept. At one point
Roosevelt broke in: You held the state
convention. You did not take any ac-
ton about me. You did not indorse me
for the vice presidency. The temporary

Edward Lauterbach. OF New York,
who has been one of the most ardent
supporters of the Roosevelt vice presi-
dental boom. made an earnest plea for
Roosevelt to take the nomination. He
said: Il don't believe. Governor Roose-
velt, that YOU will refuse the vice pres
idency if it Is given to you. Don't fear
about New York this fall. 1t will go
Republican and heavily so if Roosevelt
Is on the national ticket" Lauterbach
finished by saying after a passionate
appeal to Roosevelt to take the NOM
ination. Il don't think we ought to Sc

The end of the debate was that they
