McKinley's nomination but before the
latter concluded the convention was
impatient for a vote and several times
tried to howl him down.
Then the roll of states was called and
delegation after delegation rose in
solid blocks and cast their votes for
Mckinley. When Chairman Lodge
made the announcement that the pres
ident had been renominated there was
the same wild storm which had been
raised by Foraker.
Roosevelt's nomination for the vice
presidency evoked successiocs of sim
liar demonstrations. LATE Young of
Iowa, who was with Roosevelt in Cuba
nominated him on behalf of the state
which had originally come to Phila-
delphia for Dolliver. His nomination
was seconded by Delegate Murray of
Secretary Longs state, and Delegate
Ashton of Washington. Chauncey De-
pew wound up the oratory on behalf
of the state which had declared for
Woodruff. Depew's speech aroused the
most intense enthusiasm when he drew
the dazzling picture of the conutry's
future. During every pause, the band
played but one air, the tune which Col.
Roosevelt heard in the trenches before

WARNING TO YOUNG ACTRESSES

Under the title A Word of Warning
to Young Actresses Clar Morris, in the
May Century, gives some good advice
to young men contemplating stage
career. Il know" she says, "of but
three powers that can open the stage
door to a girl who comes straight from
private life-a fortune, great influence
or superlative beauty" After discuss
ing at length the duties and response
bilities of the stage, she continues:
say it frankly and earnestly that for
the poor girl or woman who has to
earn her own living and longs to be-
come an actress my heart aches. 70
that little rattle-brain who yearns for
the stage because she knows she looks
just too sweet in evening dress, and
who always sees a vision of herself
when she thinks of being an actress
with the curtain descending upon her
fainting lin pink chiffon over pink
silk in the arms of a perfectly divine
leading man-to her l say: ASK papa

Jay party, for probably in three or four
cal . AAOAu uOh oIC WILL D6 du
ity on the designing and construction
of the cunniugest little garments for
the loveliest little wearers in the
world" She adds in conclusion: But
little stage-struck girl, you who think
to frisk gayly up to the head of the
profession, pause before you try to
force your way into the theatre, where
acting is either veritable high art or
drudgery. There is no middle course
between these extremes. Better, then,
TO be patient at home. Find occupa-
ton there, if it is nothing more than
the weekly putting in order of bureau
drawers for some unusually careless
member of the family But having a
good home, thank God and your par
ents for it, and stay in it.

NO LONGER A MAVERICK.

Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, giving
his experiences as "A Missionary in
the Great West" tells of the baptism
OF a little daughter of a big cattle
owner in the Indian territory. "In our
baptismal service We sign those who
are baptized with the sign of the
cross, he explains, land when the lit
tie girl returned to school after the
baptism the children pressed her with
hard questions, desiring to know what
that man with the 'nightgown' on had
done, and if she were now different
from what she had been before. She
tried to tell them that she had been
made member of Christ, the child of
God, and an inheritor of the kingdom
of heaven but did not succeed in ex-
pressing the situation very well, and
they pressed her for a clearer explana-
ton. Finally, when she had exhausted
every other effort she turned on them.

OUR FIRST INTERNATIONAL MAR

Some people are given to thinking
that the Englishman's prediction for
the American girl is recently devel-
oped passion. Such is by no means the
case. If American visitors should care
to see a portrait in oils of one of the
very first American girls to catch an
Englishman of position let them jour
ney to Boonton Hall, in the county of
Norfolk, the hall that was in former
days the seat of the Rolfe family. In
this hall hangs a portrait by De Passe
of handsome young woman, with
high cheekbones, and complexion
splendidly swarthy. Around this por-
trait are the words Matoaka Rebecka.

This railway Is the main artery through
which the great stream of Welsh steam
coal flows to Cardiff. The bulk of the
steam coal used by the British navy and
merchant marine is carried from the
mines to the coast by the Taffvale rail-
way.
The strike on this railway. II not speed
fly terminated, must have a disastrous
effect on shipping and seriously embar-
ass the admiralty at time when steam
coal is a very precious article.
No better time could have been chosen
by the labor union leaders to stop this
great coal barrier. Welsh steam coal
has already reached record prices. and
the admiralty. only a few days ago. were
forced TO pay an exorbitant price for
25O,000 tons.
In an article on the effect in the United
States of the coal supply situation In
England, the Herald says:
Railway, coal operators. steamship
and sailing vessel and ship builders,
owners and brokers are all making ag-
gressve preparations for taking advan-
tage OF the situation. Evidences OF these
preparations are seen In the sending OF
