DR.. Reed suggested that the Board
authorize the chairman OF the commit
tee to visit other cities with view
of securing ideas for the new building.
Others claimed that the employment
of an architect ought to insure an up.
to-date structure. DR.. Reed replied that
while the Board had employed archi-
tects in the past, that the city had not
u modern building to show for 1t today.
Colonel Gibbons took exceptions to this
statement. He said l have visited
buildings outside Of Akron, and while
they may have different exterior
architectural appearance, the rooms
are no better than ours. The school

time they want a say in this matter.

adjourned meeting to be held next
Tuesday night.
REPAIRS TO BE MADE.

AN ARTFUL D0DGER.

1t is already quite apparent that the

for fifteen minutes Chairman Lodge
raped for order. Al IL :2S Governor

another enthusiastic demonstration
when he took the platform and began
his speech seconding McKinley's nom-
ination. His sentences were delivered
in manner that denoted a careful
study of each word. His argumenta-

very much more attention than had

said, speaking of the war with Spain,
and then waited for the ripple'o laugh
ter which followed the declaration.

the heartiest applause, with cries from
the galleries of "hit 'em again." and

Challenged the Future.
In conclusion Governor Roosevelt
declared the Republican party and the
American people challenged the future
and they were eager for the labor laid
out for them as if by providence.
Speeches seconding the nomination
were made by Senator Thurston. John
w. Yerkes of Kentucky, knight OF
California, Governor Mount and 9TH
ers.
The roll was then called and each
state voted for Mckinley all the way
ly made the official summary and hand
ed it to the chairman. Mr.. Lodge
took the paper, and advancing TO the
front OF the stage, said:
1.-The total vote east is $50. William
Mckinley has received $50 votes. II
is unanimous vote and the chairman
declares that William Mckinley is
your nominee for the presidency for
the term beginning March 4, 1901"
Now, again, pandemonium broke
loose in one swelling chorus of enthu-
siasm. Up went the plumes and stand
ards. Up stood the great audience.
The demonstration in honorof the pres
ident's nomination lasted five minutes,
and then the chairman called for order
for further events in store.

Mckinley and Roosevelt the Choice of the
Convention.

Philadelphia, June PA bright and
cloudless sky with a cool and bracing
northeasterly breeze gave ideal condi-
tions for the third, and what promised
TO be tho closing day of the Republic
an national convention. After all the
smoke of The skirmish OF the last few
days, tie convention hosts awoke with
a common belief-that Mckinley and
Roosevelt would be the ticket of 1900.

night. the conference of the managers
in Senator Hanna sN rooms. the with
drawal Of Long. Dollver and the dis
appearance of every other obstacle IN

measured announcement of Senator
Hanna that in his judgment, after
complete review of the conditions.

ated by acclamation-ths series Of
events dispelled the very last vestige
Of doubt as to the ticket.
Convention Called to Order.
Chairman Lodge called the conven-
tion to order at 10:3S. The prayer was
offered by Archbishop Ryan of. Phila-
delphia. Ex-senator Quay then arose
and withdrew the amendment he had
offered regarding representation, and
the two rules were adopted as re-
ported.
Senator Lodge announced as the
next order the nomination of presiden-
tial candidates. Alabama yielded to
Ohio, and Senator Foraker was recog-
niZed. Amidst a tumult of applause
Senator Foraker went 10 the platform
and when quiet was restored began to
speak, first thanking Alabama for
their courtesy in yielding, but attrib-
uting that fact to the overwhelming
popularity Of the candidate. As Mr..
Foraker continued he was repeatedly
interrupted with cheers. His an
Douncement that the nomination of
Mckinley was equal to an election in
November brought vociferous cheers.

able In American history.

Michael j. Murray of Massachu-
setts seconded Roosevelt's nomination.
j. NJ. Ashton Of Washington also sec
onded RDsevelts nomination. The
convention called for Depew and the
New York senator was cheered as he
went on the platform.
Roosevelt Declared Nominal ed.
Mr.. Depew made a happy speech in
Mr.. Roosevelts favor and then the roll
of states was called for vice presi-
dent The nomination of Roosevelt
was unanimous, with the exception Of
one missing vote of New York-the In
dividual vote Of Roosevelt. Senator
Lodge then declared Roosevelt nomi-
mated for vice president. The an
nouncement evoked a burst of ap-
plause that fairly shook the great steel
girdled building to its foundations.
Governor Roosevelt, now the candidate
for vice president, was surrounded by
delegates showering congratulations
upon him.
On motion of Colonel Dick, Senator
Lodge was placed at the head of the
committee to notify the president Of
his nomination, and Senator Wolcott
at the head Of the committee to notify
the vice presidential nominee. The
convention then adjourned sine die.

Steel wool is machine produced ma

edged threads of steel. which curl up
together like wool, or somewhat as the
wood fibers of the familiar material
known as excelsior curl up together,
though the steel wool Is very much

coarser than the coarsest Of natural
woods. The steel wool Is put up In
packages containing one pound each.

a package perhaps 10 inches long and
two or three inches In diameter.
Made In various degrees OF coarse
ness. steel wool is put to variety Of
uses, the finer woods for polishing wood
and metal. and the coarser for rub
bing down paint and varnish. 1t is
often used on special parts of work,
while, for example, OH the fiat surfaces
of a door man would use sandpaper
with a block back of 1t; for the mold
ings he would use steel wool, which fits
into the crevices and conforms itself
to irregular shapes. Such work can
be done with steel wool far more readi-
ly and quickly than with sandpaper,
and it is used with like advantage on
irregular and small surfaces and on
carved work.
Besides the steel wool there is a
coarser material Of the same kind call
ed steel shavings, which is put to vari-
Gus uses, as in taking off old paint or
varnish and in polishing wood before

CASK is NEVER EMPTY.
For Years Wine Is Drawn From 1t
to Celebrate Great Events.


All really excellent champagne is the
result of judicious blending. Time
was when each big vineyard owner
had his own cellar and his own brand.
But it has been found advantageous TO
sell the raw wine to dealers, who make
one district supply what another lacks.
But there are still few provincial
establishments that cling to the old
ways-crowning with a wreath of flow
ers the first tubful Of ripe grapes and
keeping "the bride of the cellar full
from year TO year.
The bride, be it understood, is spe-
cial wine cask filled with the first run
ming of the press. More accurately it
holds the juice which drips away be-
fore any pressure is applied. Wine
from it is never sold, but used upon
high days and holidays, passed about
as q gift or devoted to the comfort OF
the sick and the poor.
Something akin to the bride exists In
the German free cities. Each of them
has a wine cellar, and in each cellar
there is a cask always yielding wine,
but never empty.
Any burgher is entitled to demand a
bottle of its contents when he marries,
when his first son is christened and
also when the son is 81. If the son is
adventurous or the burgher himself,
for that matter he gets another bottle
from the cask when he comes home
from far countries.
But there is an official specially
charged to see that whenever bottle
full is drawn out another bottleful OF
as near as possible the same quality at
once goes in. And thus it happens that
the city cask is never empty.-Boston

SECOND CONVENTION SESSION.
Permanent Organization Rapidly and
Smoothly Effected.

Philadelphia, June 21.-President
Mckinley was not renominated at the
session Of the Republican national con-
ventiOn yesterday, but today will wit
ness, in all probability, the unparalleled
spectacle OF both the presidential and
vice presidential candidates being NOM
mated by acclamation. The original
programme was to renominate Mckin-
ley yesterday and to nominate the can
didate for vice president today. But
the national Republican committee had
made a compact with the local Phila-
delphia committee to keep the conven-
tion here for three days and> ii was
feared that If the nomination for pres
ident was made yesterday the conven-
tion might take the bit i'm its teeth and
wnid mp the proceedings before dark.
Convention wheels moved smoothly
yesterday. Wolcott called the body to
order. Then, after prayer by Rev. G..
M. Boswell, the report OF the commit
tee on credentials was presented and
adopted unanimously and without de-
bate. The report of the committee on
