They wanted action, not oratory.
Disregarding the call for vote,
Chairman Lodge recognized George
Knight, head of the California delega-

sentence, ringing through the great
building like trumphet call, caught
the fancy Of the assemblage, and he
was cheered enthusiastically.

Loud Demands for Vote.
The FESTIVE listeners broke in with
many demonstrations and calls OF
vote and Chairman Lodge was kept
busy with his gayel trying to main
tain sufficient order for the speaker to
be heard. AS he closed the conven-
ton again demanded vote and the
chairman announced that the roll of
states would be called for the vote Oh
the nomination for president. At
1881 the vote began.
The roll was called and each state
voted for Mckinley all the way down
the rcll.
Senator Lodge announced that
President Mckinley had been nomi-
mated unanimously.
After the nomination there was a
parade with a huge elephant, which
caused more amusement than APP
plause. Around the elephants neck
were entwined garlands of flowers.
Laughter and applause were mingled
as the great emblem was borne about.
The demonstration in honor Of the
presidents nomination lasted five
minutes and then the chairman called

utes reigned tumult of the widest
character. Gov. Roosevelt, the choice
for vice president, seconded the mo-
ton in an oratorical effort, which
captured the convention as had no
other speech of the session.
Senator Foraker was the first to
place Mr.. McKinley's name before the
convention and his speech was one Of
the greatest oratoriacl efforts that
we'll known speaker has ever made.
He was repeatedly interrupted by the
wild plaudits of his audience and at
the conclusion of his address there
was wave OF applause that required
ten minutes to subside. Senator Fo-

John w. Yerkes of Kentucky, George

PORTO RlCAN MUSIC.
The National Instrument IL simple pus
InuaniOuS.

The National Instrument Is Simple pus
Ingenious.
Like all other Spanish speaking peo-
pies, the Porto Ricans are fond OF mu-
sic, says the Kansas City Star. Every
cafe has it's orchestra, for a cafe could
hardly do business without one. Every
main street during the latter part or
the day has its itinerant band of gull
tar and violin players, and the warm
nights are made pleasant to the stroll
ers along the streets by the sound OK
stringed instruments which floats from
behind the latticed, vine-clad screen Of
private residences.
Nearly all of the airs are pitched IN
a minor key, which even when Intent
ca to be joyous, contains a plant TO
the Anglo-Saxon fond of Sousa's robust
music. To one who has Travelled IN
Spanish lands the music OF Porto Rico
at first seems very familiar, but the ear
is not long in discovering something
novel in the accompaniment to the
melody.
1t sounds at first like the rhythmical
shuttle of feet upon the S. nded floor,
and one might suppose some expert
clog dancer was nimbly stepping to the
music made by the violins and guitars.
The action is almost too quick, too
complicated for this however, and t
is the dizziness of fingers and not OF
feet which produces it. 1t comes from
tie only musical instrument native to-
the West Indies, the "guira,' which
word is pronounced "huir-r-a," with
a soft roll and twist of the tongue only
possible to the native. The "guira' -
a gourd varying in size in different III"
struments. On the inverse curve or
the gourd are cut Sits like those in the
tcp of a violin. On the other side OF
the gourd opposite the holes is series
of deep scratches. The player balances
,-e gourd in his left hand, holding it
hghtly that none of the romance may
be lost.
With the right hands he rapidly rubs
this roughened side of the cord with
a two-tined steel fork. In the hands
OF a novice this produces nothing but
harsh, disagreeable noise. In the
hands of native guira player a Won
derfu rhythmic sound comes from this
dried vegetable shell, a sound which, m
its place in the orchestra, becomes mu-
sic, and most certainly gives splendid
time and considerable volume to the
performance.
The players hand moves with light
ming rapidity. The steel fork at times
makes long sweeps the whole length
of the gourd. and then again vibrates
with incredible swiftness over but an
inch or two of it's surface. There seems
to be a perfect method in its playing,
though no musical record is before the
player, and it seems to be a matter
purely of his fancy and his ear as TO
how his part shall harmonic with the
melody of the stringed instruments.
The guira is found in all the West In
dies. but seems specially popular in
Porto Rico. The players generally
MAKE their own instruments and ap-
parent;y become attached to them, for
as poor IS these strolling players are,
they will hardly part with their guiras
even when offered ten times their rea'
value.

Gov, Roosevelt Is Named.

Then came the call for nominations
for vice president and Col. LATE Young
of Iowa advanced to the pl"s form.
He withdrew the name of Deliver and
in ringing speech placed Gov. Roose-
velt's name before the convention. The
scenes attending the nomination of
President Mckinley were re-enacted
with equal enthusiasm. At Ills p. m.
Gov. Roosevelt announces that the
nomination is so spontaneous he can
not decline. He will in brief state
ment accept the nomination for vice.
president.
1t was 1898 a. m. when Senator
Lodge assembled the platform and rap
ped for order. The great auditorium
was filled to overlooking and had been
the scene of numerous demonstrations
in honor of Roosevelt, Quay and Han
ma, who all arrived shortly after ten
o'clock. Senator Lodge pounded for
order and comparative quiet finally
prevailed
Prayer OF Archbishop Ryan.
Archbishop Ryan then offered a
prayer. At it's close the gavel fell to
make quiet for the more practical
work of the convention.
The chair laid the amendment 70
the rules offered yesterday by Mr..
Quay as the unfinished business be-
fore the convention and Mr.. Quay
withdrew the resolution.
Under the rule nominations for the
Office of president of the United States
are now in order" was the next
amendment of Chairman Lodge. THE
state of Alabama is recognized was
the quick statement from the chair.
A tall and swarthy Albanian stood
on his chair and by prearrangement,
answered: Alabama yields to Ohio" "
This was the signal for the recogni-
ton of Senator Foraker, who was to
make the speech nominating Mr.. Nc
Kinley as the Republican candidate
for president. Then the cheers began
and wild scene ensued.
Speech OF Senator Foraker.
Amid a tumult of applause Senator
Foraker went to the platform and
when quiet was restored began to
speak, first thanking Alabama for
their courtesy in yielding, but attri-
buting that fact to the overwhelming
popularity of the candidate AS Mr..
Foraker continued he was repeatedly
interrupted with cheers. His an
nouncement that the nomination Of
Mckinley was equal to an election in
November brought vociferous cheers.
He paid glowing tribute to the presi-

CHAPTER VIII.

CIlAI LII Will.
On the evening of the return from
lattle of the hosts of Jephthah, the
Hileadite, Namarah went, as was her
Font, to feed her doves, and as she
hood among them, more white than
las the gown she wore, there came
her, down the garden-walk, through
Rrted branches of the trees, the
nan Adina.
s4Hamarah knew that he would
at this time and place. but
within her trembled, and the
Dl VAS not SO far gone from out her
but that his coming called it
like to rose in bloom.
5ka, who had rested from his
Hing and refreshed himself, was
4 this evening, like Namarah, all in
6ite, in a stately robe that swathed
lisistalwart body from the shoulder to
Ehe sandals on his feet. His beautiful
strong young arms were hid beneath
FITS folds, until, as he came up to where
1.-THE maiden stood, he reached them
Eout and folded her tenderly and
"Hurt not the bird, Adina," she said,
slowly, as he held her there and knew
not to distinguish between the Gutter-
ing of the dove and the beating Of the
h maiden's heart. 1T is even thy little
messenger, which did company thee
upon thy dangerous wanderings and
bring me the message of thy heart to
NINE"
'How knowest thou it is the same,
Namarah," he made answer, seeing
that these snow-white birds of thine
. are like as be garden-lilies?" And as
he spake, he held her still with one
strong arm, while the other hand he
laid above her little one that gently
Emoothed the rufEled plumage of the
frightened bird.
II knew it even by its travel-stains
and by its broken feathers. See, the
birding hath cen suffered in our ser
vice." and, as she spake, she lifted it
and kissed it tenderly, at which Adina
swiftly bent his tall head and kissed
the very spot whereon her lips had
lain upon the bird, saying as he did so:
"Thy kisses are all mine, Namarah,
and must even take back the one that
thou hast given to the bird. It was
I'll done of thee to besow it on another
than him to whom it doth by right be-
long. Release the bird that hath too
long engaged the touches of thy hands,
for these be mine also, and tonight l
long for all thy love, seeing that my
heart within me is like to burst with
sorrow"
Then Namarah swiftly loosed the
bird, which flew away and vanished
from their sight, even as the maiden
threw her arms about her lovers neck
and yielded herself to his most sweet
embrace.
II pray thee sorrow not, Adina, my
beloved" She spake low. Thine am
for eternity, and Heavens joys can
never end. Wilt thou not strive to give
me strength to do the thing that lies
before me? Pray for courage for both
thee and me, for love is sweet, and
death seems cruel.'
Ay, death is cruel, cruel!' made an
swer Adina, with that his brow grew
stern, and the very hands that were
about her soft young body clinched as
II in anger.
NOW, may God forgive me-" said
Namarah, "for the evil word I spake.
It even passed the door OF my lips
without mine own consent. Our God is
good, Adina. and If we dishonor Him
not, by doubt Of His goodness and re-
bellion to His will, He will most likely
deliver US both; and If it plsaseth Him

June 21.-President William Mckinley
was unanimously renominated at l
p. m. today by the Republican national
convention, after a solemn roll call
in which every state and territory cast
its full delegate vote for Ohio's IA

Gov. Roosevelt was nominated for

Gov. Roosevelt's Speech.

His sentences were delivered in
manner that denoted careful study

for he was given the closest attention
by the vast audience, in fact, very
much more attention than had any
other speaker.

II may be question whether the
editor of newspaper has the right
to publicly recommend any of the
various proprietary medicines which
food the market, yet as a prevent
ative of suffering we feel it duty to
say a good word for Chamberlain g
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy. We have known and used thie
medicine in our family for 20 years
and have always found it reliable.
In many cases dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while a
physician ia awaited. We do not be-
lieve in depending implicitly on any
medicine for cure, but we do be-
lieve that if bottle of Chamber
lain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the in
ception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during the
past twenty years. Sold by City
