Calling the Roll.

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 presi
dent had been renominated for the term
beginning March 4, 1901, there was
the same wild storm which had been
raised by Foraker, and when it was
over Roosevelt's nomination for the
vice.presidency evoked succession of
similar demonstrations.
Lafe Young, who was with Roosevelt
in Cuba, nominated him on behalf of
the state which had originally came 10
Philadelphia for Dolliver. His NOM
ination was seconded by Delegate Muir.
ray, OF Secretary Longs state, and Del.
egate Ashton, of Washington, who
came here for Bartlett TIipp. IChaun-
cey Depew wound up the oratory on
behalf of the state which declared for
Woodruff. Depew's speech aroused
the most dazzling dreams OF the coun.
try's future. During every pause, the
band played but one air, the tune
which Colonel Roosevelt had heard In
the trenches before Santiago.
At 2:l4 O'Clock the convention, which
had done the unparalleled thing Of
nominating both the candidates for
president and vice-president unani-
mously, adjourned.
Governor Roosevelt drove from the
convention hall with Mr.. Odell, seated
in the rear OF an open landau. He
lifted his broad.brimed hat to the con-
tinuous salyos that greeted him as he
passed through the densely packed
street, like conquering hero fresh
from new victories. Tonight the faces
OF Mckinley and Roosevelt are on all
the badges, and their names are on
every lip.

The squad of which Mr.. White was a
member covered the approach to bridge
which the Southern troops desired to cross.
For hours in the hot sun the boys in blue,
behind powders. had kept their opponents
at bay Shells and bullets fell about them.

The water was exhausted and, unless a
new supply was obtained very quickly. the
Federal troops must retreat and abandon
their strategic position Fifty yards away

the spring and centred hot fire these.
Water must be had and the commander
called for volunteers to go after 1t.
The trip meant almost certain death. and
at first no one offered himself. At length
White said he would go. and. straDping on
all the canteens he could carry he started
for the spring He stretched himself prone
upon the ground and began crawling. No
sooner had he left shelter than the bullets
began dropping about him. He kept or.

started back at the same saaifs pace. y

of him and almost buried him under dirt
and gravel. He escaped unhurt and at
length reached his comrades with the

NEW sToRM-wARN1NG DEVICE.

The Secretary OF Agriculture has just
the Weather Bureau that is OF great inter-

value of the storm warnings Of the Wealth

experiments be made with the view of
adopting an improved method Of issuing
warning signals from marine ports.
With the cooperation of several i'm
portant manufacturing establishments a
new iron storm warning tower has been
constructed and adopted by the Secretary.
This tower, being constructed in sections
can be extended to greater or less
height, in accordance with the visual con-
ditions OF different ports. Near the top
of the tower two powerful French fresnel
Tense lamps are located. and above the
lamps is the flagstaff from which day sig

appropriation sufficient to equip one-half
OF the 300 display stations of the Bureau
during the coming year.
Secretary Wilson has directed the Chief
OF the Weather Bureau to distribute these
new towers as equally as possible between
the lake and sea ports as only one-half OF
the service can be equipped during the
coming year. The Improvement is highly
appreciated by the maritime associations
and others interested in lake and coast

The trial OF Jay G. Holland. charged

the charge of libel against Holland is the

which, 1t is alleged. he had with a news

legged that Holland stated that about the
time mentioned he was engaged as a de-

BUFFALO, May 13.-Buffalo has been
| visited by an epidemic of strange disap-
| pearances in the past year. During that
period the police department has been
asked to help locate 610 missing people
Three hundred and ninety-seyen of these
were found. Others wandered back of their
own accord and their relatives failed 10
notify the police of the fact These.
however, were nearly offset by the numbct
of people who went away of whom the
police received no notice.
In speaking of the matter. an official at
police headquarters said:
You often hear OF epidemics of disease
and cycles of crime, and just now Erie
County Is being credited with an outbreak
of moral rabies. The same invisible infiu-
ence seems to pervade disappearance
When they come they come in punches.
At present the community is mystified
over the strange disappearance of Arthur
W. Lockwood, of this city, and Frank NJ
Ashley, the Lockport lawyer. The mysti-
flying element in both cases is the lack of
any apparent reason why they should dis
appear. They have happy homes. and no
business troubles that anybody can dis
cover and yet all of sudden they are
gone as suddenly as if the earth had swal
lowed them.
Then there was Sidney II. Rogers the
assistant cashier at the Lehigh Valley
freight office. who is supposed to have left
for parts unknown last Thursday. 1t is
limited that a shortage in his accounts sup
piled a reason for his disappearance, but
ii seems unlikely. Among others CT prom
inence who have gone the same unknown
way within the year were Jeremiah Ba-
ker, of 90 Franklin Street who has been
missing since July; G. W. Rolph. the clerk
at Hubbard's drug store at Delavan Ave-
nue. and Herkimer Street, who committed
suicide al Niagara Falls a little while
ago: Webster. Nellie McHenrys husband,
who went up the fiue when the company
was here playing Green Room Fun the
son of Lyman Daniels, and W. A. Bissell,
the instructor at Cations College, who is
thought to have ended his life in Niagara
Falls year ago last Septembes.
My own private theory IL that the
neighborhood of Niagara Falls is respon-
sible for most of these disappearances
that are never accounted for. That river
seldom gives up its dead. There seems to
be hypnotism about it that allures peo-
pie into its power. They 20 there in
sound health and 1t seems to fascinate
them with its grandeur and rainbow beau
ty. AS soon as troubles come they begin
to think about the place. When troubles
make them morbid they begin to think
the Falls is calling to them. And although
they are twenty-five miles away they
can't seem to shake off the influence, but
head for the place as though they were
bewitched. and then the papers report
