CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER.
Hanna Warmly Received-Cheersf for Me-
KinIey-Wolcott's speech.


Chairman Hanna's reception when
he called the convention TO order and
later when he made a speech was fiat
tering in the extreme and the smile
on his face expressed the pleasure it
gave him. But the JOY he experienced
over his own reception seemed roth
ing compared with the delight he mani
tested when for the first time me men
toned the presidents name. Tile con-
vention went off like a rocket. The ap-
plause was deafeninS. Hanna's face
was a picture. 1t was wreathed i'm
smiles. He showed the ecstacy of the
Joy he felt over the storm of approval
he had raised. Many, in that moment,
remembered how the presidents War
wick had announced a year ago that
his ambition would be satisfied and his
cup of joy would be full when recalled
together the convention that would re.
nominate Mckinley.
The opening prayer was by Rev. J.
Gray Bolton, of the Hope Presbyterian
church, this city. When Hanna opened
the convention he said: "In bidding
you welcome / also wish to congratulate
you on the magnificent representation
from the Republican party. There was
no mistake in bringing the convention
to Philadelphia. Here was the cradle
of liberty, the birthplace of the repub.
lie. Here also had the Republican par
ty seen its birth, and here. too. was
J the center OF the great, throDbing idea
the protection of American industry.
We are on the eve of another
great struggle. Already we are begin
ming to form our battalions under the
leadership of our great general, Will
lam Mckinley"
Then there were ten minutes OF en-
thusiastic uproar, at the end of which
Hanna concluded his speech. and
gracefully introduced Temporary
Chairman Wolcott. The senator's
speech was extended and was n
paean Of praise for the Repub-
llcan party and the president

from miniature of Mckinley in the
lapel of his coat surveyed an imposing
spectacle when he called the twelfth
Republican national convention TO or

in West Philadelphia at 12:35 yester-
day. In the valley below him were
crowded the 1900 delegates and alter
mates, and stretching away to the four
corners of the immense hall were end
less vistas of people rising in terraced
seats to the walls. He looked into the
faces of fully $4,000 men and women.
Opposite in broad gallery were massed
one hundred musicians, their leader n

many places the ale is served splced

montgomery News.)

Tread lightly, dear reader, speak
low, for we are standing beside the
death bed of the Nineteenth Cen
fury. The old man is about to
pass in bis checks. Even now he
tumbles with the sheets and smiles
upon his fingers ends. The death
rattle Is In his throat and the flame
of life fllckers feebly in his fading
eyes.
We are sorry to part with the
old fellow, for he has been a corker
in his time. Other centuries pre-
vious to this one have plugged
along through life as best they
could, making no footprints and
leaving no spoor on the sands of
times TO speak of, but the Nine
teenth Century has been a hummer.
In his youth he may have been
giddy and indiscreet but we should
remember there were no W. G. 7.
Cters ID those days to seize him BY
the slack of his trousers to pull
him away from the primrose paths
of SIN. In his youth he enjoyed
but few of the comforts and con-
veniences Of life. His food was
cooked in Dutch oven and be had
to light bis pipe with a flint. He
wrote his love letters with a goose
quill and fastened his galluses with
thorn. All! Little did he think
that before he passed off the stage
of action that be would be wearing
golf suits, riding bicycles and eat
ing pie with fork. Little did he
dream that before he passed up the
dume he would be wearing papier-
mache teeth and voting the Aus
tralian ballot.
When he was urshcred into the
world, hundred years ago, the
housewives leached their own I've
and kept the flies away from the
table with peach sprout. There
were no fly screens, no cook stoves,
no carpet sweepers, no yeast cakes,
no baking powder, no canned fruit,
no insect powder, no shoe button
srs, no chautauquas, no spring
no union suits, no rub
Der shoes. no cucumber spoons, NO
sewing machines, no toilet soap, no
clothes wringers, no clothes pins.
Think of 1t! Our great, great
grand mothers, hundred years
lgo, never enjoyed the luxury of
ranging out clothes on wash day
Nth two-by-four sycamore
clothes pin between their ruby

A century ago there were no

DIV is the best medicine have ever
used. 1t is a fine children's remedy
for Group and never fails to cure. "
When given as soon as the child be-
comes hoarse, or even after the
cloupy cough has developed. it will
prevent the attack. This should
be horne in mind and a bottle OF
the Cough Remedy kept ON hand
ready for instant use as soon As
