Hazing in Former Times.
Lieutenant Colonel George b. Davis,
deputy advocate general United States
army, was sworn and gave a resume
Of the efforts made by the authorities
at the military academy to eradicate
the practice of haZing during the last
thirty-five years. Colonel Davis was
graduated in 1871. ''Yanking" was the
commonly talked of form of hazing
then. This IS similar to what is now
spoken of as dragging men from their
beds with mattresses or blanketst I'M
deTneath them. Colonel Davis said
various means of stopping hazing had
been tried until, in 1900, these efforts
were crowned with very substantial
success through the cooperation of the
corps of cadets.
Lieutenant Colonel Otto l. Helm,
commandant of cadets, produced sew
eral extracts from his records for the
last three years, showing that the
penalties inflicted for hazing in 1898
had been much greater than in pre-
vious years. Cadet Booz, he said,
never made any complaint of his treat
ment.

THE SILVER REPUBLICANS.
Delay in Reporting the Platform to
the Convention.

the
KANSAS CITY, July 5.-The Silver Re
publicans have got into a stew over their
platform over which the committee ap-
pointed has been at work, and today's ses-
sion of their Convention was largely given
over TO speeches. When the Convention
was called. to order this morning less than
half the delegates were in their places
Senator Teller was very hoarse on account
of the speech which he made yesterday
and he called Frank T. Ransom to act as
temporary chairman. This being done
the Senator hustled off to urge the other
leaders of the party TO redouble their ef-
forts to have the Democrats accept ToNne
as their nominee for Vice President.
In the mean time the delegates were ar
riving all the time. Neither the Com
mittee on Credentials nor the Committee
ON Platform was ready to report. Finally
the Committee on Credentials reported
and then the Committee On Permanent
Organization, which according 10 pro-
gramme, recommended Judge Brown, OF
Ohio. as permanent chairman. He ac-
cepted the office of chairman in an ap-
propriate speech.
AS soon as Judge Brown had finished.
General Corser. the Treasurer of the Ma
tional Committee, said he wanted to say
just word by way of personal explana-
tion. He told about his unsuccessful eff
forts to get seats In the Democratic Con-
vention for delegates. A Kansas delegate
at once moved that the Silver Republicans
request the Democratic Convention for
seats in the body of the convention hall
during the nomination of our matchless
leader and statesman. William j. Bryan"
This motion was withdrawn because the
delegates thought it would be undignified
Col. John Doniphan. of st. Joseph, Mo-. had
a red-hot pro- Boer resolutions. He offered
it and spoke in favor of its immediate
adoption, but the Convention sent il to the
Committee on Resolutions. A recess was
then taken until $3.50 o'clock.
The Committee on Resolutions was IN
session three hours but could not agree on
the phraseology of the free silver plank
and other planks. Several members wi5lei
TO change the name of the party to the
Lincoln Republican party. Members from
free silver States opposed a change in

dropped many voters would take 1t that
the party had also dropped the free silver
ISSUE
When the Convention reassembled there
was nothing for 1t to do, so it turned
the afternoon into a speech making field
day. After a dozen speeches. j. b. Cheadle
got the platform to announce that the
Democratic Convention had appointed
committee OF nine to confer with a Silver
Republican committee OF fifteen and the
Populists on a Vice Presidential candi-
date. Mr.. Cheadle asked the conference
committee to 90 to Towne's room in the
Coates House at once and talk the mat
tor over with him.

Mr. Mckinley.

CHICAGO. July 5.-Governor Roosevelt
arrived here from his trip TO Oklahoma at
o'clock tonight and two hours later left
for Canton to consult with President Nc
Kinley. He will stop over at Cleveland
tomorrow and have a brief consultation
with Senator Hanna. regarding plans for
the campaign.
The Governors visit TO the President is
entirely unexpected. He had planned 10
go to Oyster Bay as fast as he could
after reaching Chicago this evening. Thi.
morning at Quincy, where a big demon
stration was held in his honor, the Gov
ernor received telegram from President
Mckinley requesting him to come to Can
ton before going home. The message was
not merely social invitation, but rather
a request for a consultation on matters
of public moment. The Governor replied
Immediately that he would be in Canton
tomorrow.
He took the opportunity presented to
see Chairman Hanna, when plans for
Roosevelt's furthe: active worE In the
will be discussed, and possibly
a schedule Of dates and places for the
more important meetings will be agreed
upon.

John H. Wise to talk for the island. Wise
got warm reception. He said that the
Hawaiian delegation had cast the deciding
vote for free silver in the Committee on

What more do you want from Hawaii?"
he demanded The crowd kept cheering
for him until he got back to his seat. Then
came Mrs. ]. NJ. Cohn, of Utah. the only
real woman delegate. The crowd received
her with cheers and half of the people got
up and waved flags. Mrs. Cohn could hard

all that was best in the home and in pol
lies and she was proud to second his nom

every State cast its full vote for Bryan
and as each State announced its vote there
was renewed cheering. The roll call was
completed at $50 and Chairman Richard

imously nominated by the Convention.
Bedlam ensued again. but 1t was only
for a minute. The crowd had done all the

Was Bothered with shouters.

For ten years Horace Shelley of In.
dependence, Mo-, was so hard of hear
ing that his intimate friends used to
say he was "as deaf as a post" But
he was not quite that deaf He could
hear if the words were shouted in his
ear, and that was the way people talk
ed to him. Three months ago Mr..
Shelley went TO an aurist and now he
can hear as well as he ever could.
Many of his acquaintance do not
know that he has regained his hear
ing and when they meet him they
shout in his ear as they were ac-
customed to do in the ten years Of
his deafness 1t is embarrassing to
Mr.. Shelley, and annoying. Last week
Mr.. Shelley was in Kansas City and
met his nephew, James holland, on the
street. They shook hands and then
Mr.. Nolan grasped the lapel of his
uncle's coat with his left hand. stood
on tip toe, so he could get his mouth
to his uncles ear, put the hollow of
his right hand up to his face, so it
would trumpet the sound we'll, and
shouted at the top of his voice:
How are you, Uncle Horace?" and
then he drew in long breath, just as
he used to do, and shouted: II haven't
seen you for a coon's age Why don't
you come around and see us?"
Uncle Horace fiinched away from
his nephew and said

took an uncommon interest. He
abandoned the whiting and the coun-

the peddler Immediately mounted his
cart and departed. seemingly not de-
sirous of making further sales. That
night Quilley addressed his wife:

AS usual, Quilley's word was law.
Only once was his order disobeyed in
the least degree and he fortunately
never knew of that. One day little
Quilley. Jr.. unable to resist, crawled
over the brow of the mountain and
looked. What he saw only increased
his justification A large round cage

admit a man in one place while fac

was in the morning and Quilley. ST.,

the mystery. Each morning Qulley
