Jennings Bryan was nominated last night
for president by the Democratic national
convention on Il IL to l platform.
The nomination was made by acclama-
tion after Il presentation followed by
scenes of delirious excitement. For more
than half an hour the vast audience of
10000 persons gave themselves up to
demonstrations of delight, cheering wild
ly while the delegates marched about the
hail with flags, state standards and eX-
tempori2ed banners with inscriptions up
on them, borne high in the air.
The big hall was crowded when the sec

STANDARD OIL FIRE.
Loss Now Estimated Mt S2,4OO,OOO.
Fire Departments Great Fight.

NEW YORK, July THE fire at the
Standard Oil company'S works at Bay
onne, which was kindled by stroke of
lightning shortly before midnight July
8, is practically under control. 1t was
thought yesterday in the afternoon that
the fire In tanks 10 and ii would extend
to o and 13 and thus render the whole
plant subject to total destruction. The
efforts of the combined fire departments of
the Tidewater and Standard companies,
using ii streams to keep the two threat
ening factors cool were successful, and
despite an unfavorable wind the tanks
did not ignite.
The official estimate of damage is So,
100000 The Standard Oil company in
sures itself, a fund being set aside for
that purpose.
The Bayonne fire companies have been
at work continuously for 81 hours. The
loss Is as follows: Twenty oil tanks and
contents destroyed, paratlin plant. in
Guiding pressroom. in which was INSTALL
ed very expensive machinery; the sweet
ening plant portion of the new refinery,
crude stills. - Union line tank ears and
contents and four cars of the Central

proval as had marked the proceedings at

lowed spirited and at times highly
dramatic contest between the advocates
of Stevenson. Towne, Hill and the lesser
candidates. The distinct triumph of the
day in the way of Il popular ovation was
that accorded to Senator Hill and in its
spontaneity and enthusiasm was one of
the most notable features the convention
has produced. 1t was accompanied, too
by remarkable scene when Hill ear
nestly protested to his friends against
being placed in nomination and then,
finding his protest in vain. when he
strobe to the platform and in tones
which left no doubt of their sincerity
earnestly besought the convention not to
make him the nominee.

every corner of the hall.
"And that man is William Jennings
Bryan" he concluded. bringing his hands
lower with each word until the last had
been uttered, when he brought them up
with u sweep, but quicker than his mo-
ton was the answering cheer that swept
across the convention. 1t was a simulta-
neous roar from all parts of the hall. Up
went the delegates upon their chairs,
over their heads went the flags. and
above them all scared and rang the
cheers for Bryan. The band Loyalty per-
formed it's share. but the noise of its Gre

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, of
New York, explains some very interesting
facts about Majors Cement.
The multitu,. es who use this standard arti-
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent.
better than other cements for which similar
claims are made, but a great many don't
know why. The simple reason is that Mr..
Major uses the best materials ever discov-
cred and other manufacturers do not use
them, because they are too expensive and
us that one of the elements of his cement
costs So 70 a pound, and another costs $2.65 a
gallon, while a large share of the so-called
cementS and liquid glue on the market are
nothing more than siXteen-cent glue dis
solved in water or citric acid, and, in some
cases, altered Slightly in color and odor by
the addition or cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when a dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend
upon it that his only object is to make
larger profit
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is doubly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
of Mr.. Majors advertising. which now
amounts to over 5000 month, throughout
the country. Established 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept
any Off-hand advice from druggist.
If you are at all handy (and you will be
likely to find that you are a good deal more
so than you imagine) you can repair your
rubber boots and family shoes, and any
other rubber and leather articles, with Ma

with some doves that he owns. The
pigeon flew in with the doves and died in
a very short time. Mr.. Thomas noticed a

legs and upon examination found is was
a United States carrier numbered 9183.
He took the pigeon to John A. Lord the

probably was released from some warship,
there was no message in the
