The Danville, CY. v Advertiser de-
votes one whole page ard part Of TWO
others in its issue of June 18th to boom
ing Colonel Jay L. Tore Of Wyoming
for the vice presidential Nomination on
the republican ticket. The Advertiser
says in part:
Colonel Jay L. Torrey is the kind OF
a man the American people would lik"
to elect vice president; evidence of it
abounds. Three weeks ago the suggcs-
ton of his availability for the second
place on the republican ticket was
preached in these columns. The re-
Spouse has been hearty and it has been
general. 1t has been such rs has an
swered the mention Of no other name.
From every part of the Union has come
the voice of approval that shows that
no mistake was made N the judgment
of this mans qualifications for that
high office.
Those who knew Jay l.. TOrrey as Il
boy and a student tell of his sturdy
character when it was forming and ret
call the impression his energetic efforts
made at school. Those who watched
his early professional cancer recall with
satisfaction the opinions they formes
of his prospects Of success. Tributes
of the most exceptional character are
paid 20 the public service Colonel Tor
| roy rnpIprnl tho iahAlp= md gralff4rE
of the whole country by his devotion to
legislation at Washington, a work in
which the United States supreme court
is now finding genuine strength and
merit. The broad character of the man
could hardly find better Illustration
than in his successful direction Of the
movement which resulted in the enact
ment of the bankruptcy law, while at
the same time he was conducting and
building up a great live stock business.
The man who has won the thanks of
the whole commercial, industrial and
professional classes stands out as a rep
r%esentative of the great industry in
which is invested 5000, 900. 900 of capt.
tai and on which is based a large meas
ure of the present prosperity of this
country. He is admired by the business
interests. He has the confidence of the
producers.
ITO the man who has made his mark.
and a most worthy one, on the statute
books, who has risen from the ranks
of the self-made, is united in the soldier
who responded at the first call. Colo
mel Torrey gave his mind as well as his
courage to his country and suffered for
patriotism. He originated what will
always be an important branch Of the
American army whenever the emorg-
enCy arises-his name will always be
inseperably connected with that Of the
rough riders. 1t is interesting to note
| that the first echoes approving the mon.
ton of this name for the consideration
of the convention at Philadelphia cam
from Tupelo where Torrey and hi.
troopers faced death in more horrible
form than upon n battlefield. anc

Fannie Edgar Thomas, writing of
the Marchesi fete at Paris, pays a
high compliment to Elizabeth Park
inson, the Kansas City girl, who has
been making such great progress since
she went abroad. This is what the
writer says:
There were several 'clous' to the
program. Those of special mark
were the presence of Saint-Saens, the
composer, who played the accom-
paniment of several of his compost
tions; the appearance OF Nine.
krauss, the remarkable interpreta-
ton of acts from 'Werther' and an
Italian opera by Nine. Blanche Mar
chest, and the electrifying singing of
Miss Elizabeth Parkinson, a young
American soprano.
This latter was a delicious treat
The timbre of the voice was some
thing celeste; the manner OF singing
and personality added TO an effect
rare enough even in these days OF
generous enthusiasm. Miss Parkin-
son is the star of the Marchesi studio
at present, and if she keeps on as her
debut indicates, she will be one OF the
first prima donnas of to-day.
