Some OF Mr.. Ientz' inquiries brought
into question the accuracy OF the re-
port OF the testimony taken by the In

the Industrial condition.

CONTEXT IN EUREKA.

A report from the credentials COM
mutec was first called for and
the chairman OF that body am
nounced that according TO lists
submitted TO and approved by
himself and associates the majority OF
the committee found that 62i delegates
were entitled to seats In the conyen-
ton and recommended the adoption Of
this report.
While the convention was awaiting
the report Of the credentials committee
a motion was made that L. II. Roberts
b. requested 20 address the 9ssemblAge.
John n. Barnes Immediately stated
that Mr.. Roberts would decline to make
an address and there the matter rested
until there We're cries Of,
Roberts,
"Committeew
shouts filled the hail FOR a few min
utea, but they aubslded FOR a discussion
Of the credentials committee report.
The majority reported that there was
a contest In Eureka and recommended
that the convention seat Mr. HOlz-
heimer ana associates. while o minority
Of the committee recommended the
seating Of the opposing delegation. A
motion TO adopt the latter 80 far as II
affected the Eureka contest was the
signal for a discussion Of the propriety
OF bringing the details o. the contest
up on the floor Of the convention hall
In the face OF the committee reports.
Mr. lAzheimer. howeyer.was allowed
ia make - statement in defense Of HIM
self ~ associates, supporting their
position by numerous ahldayits. MIR.
sam King OF Eureka was also allowed
20 speak for himself and fellow-con-
tesiants
The attempt ~ settlement cf this con-
test consumed much valuable time and
the matter had brought ont many ex-
hbitions OF feeling before Il came 10 an
end.
Morris Sommer favored the minority
report because he was Democratic
enough TO give the members Of both
delegations from the "smallpox-ridden"
district half a vote each.
Mr.. Boyden defended the report Of
the minority because he was satisfied
that the election Of the first delegation
was irregular. AT length the majority
report was adopted with the minority
substitution.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-12-05

The life of Henry Wilson, who rose
from the position of cobbler to vice
president of the United States, should
be an encouragement to every poor
boy in America. No one has ever
climbed to greatness through more dis
couraging circumstances than he.
Born at Pennington, n. H., Febru
ary 16, 1872, the son of Il poor day
laborer, his real name was jeremiah
Goliath. For some reason when he
was 21 years old he had his name
changed by act of legislature to Henry
Wilson. When he was 10 years of age,
the future vice-president had to go to
work as farm laborer He was for
tunate enough to have access to books,
and he did great deal of reading.
When 81 years old, he walked to Ma
tick, Mass learned the trade of shoe
making, and by means of it supported
himself while he took a course of study
in Concord academy. After establish
ing Il good business as a manufacturer
of shoes he entered public life. Soon
he became favorably known as a po-
litical speaker. For ten years he was
sent to the legislature and In 1865 was
elected to the United States senate,
where he remained until 1873, when he
was elected to the vice-presidency with
General Grant as president. He died
at Washington, November %, 1875, be-
fore the end of his term. Although
Wilson had exceptional opportunities
for becoming wealthy dishonesty, he
died a poor man.
Charles Sumner said that so poor
was Wilson that when elected vice
president he borrowed 500 from Sum-
ner to pay the expenses incidental to
the inauguration.-Tre (N. j.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-12-05

Did you ever hear of a cat playing
scarecrow And a stuffed pussy too
at that. Not very long ago lady who
loves her garden very much was great
ly troubled because of the flocks of
hungry sparrows which came in fam
lilies and companies, and picked up all
the little grass and flower. seeds as
fast as they were sown. They were
bold, saucy, little fellows, not easily
frightened away; and the lady was in
despair.
"Why not have n cat" some kind
friend suggested. But no; eat would
kill the little birds. Then bright idea
came to the lady's mind; and, to her
family's amusement, sleek-looking,
gray flannel pussy mounted guard over
the precious seeds.
How thesparrows twittered and COM
planned! But not one of them dared
brave that fiery-loctiug sentinel!
