Philadelphia, June 2l.-President
McKinley was unanimously renom-
mated for president of the United
States by the Republican national
convention at las today and an hour
and ten minutes later Governor
Theodore Roosevelt, Of New York,
was unanimously selected to stand
beside him in the coming battle.
Scenes attending the elections were
tumultuous. Such unanimous dem
constructions In honor of the new nom
inees of a national convention have
never been equalled perhaps In the
history Of politics in this country.
1t was love feast. a jubilee. n ratlii-
ca tion meeting. There were no pre-
liminaries. The wrangle expected
over the question Of reducing the rep
resentatiun In the south was avoided
by the withdrawal uf ex-senator
Quay's proposition. The great hall
became quiet as Senator Lodge,
standing before $4,000 eager faces,
gavel in hand, called Denominations
for president Of the United States.
The reading clerk advanced TO the
front of the platform. He about
to call the roll Of states for the pres

kered delegate from that state arose
and surrendered the first right to

chiefs filed the air and cheer went
up from the delegates In the pit as
Senator Foraker, Of Ohio, the idol ~

toward the platform.

was some evidence that General Tung
Flu Sen, the principal representative
of the Mohammedan societies, wasin
command and, possibly without or
ders from the Chinese government,
had succeeded in leading off some Of
the regular Chinese troops. This
would. in part, explain Admiral
kempff's messnge that the Chinese
army is fighting. But the express
sions of Ii Hung Chang and several
of the most influential viceroys lead
To the belief that the Chinese govern
ment does not direct the operations

must loo cleared up within the next
few hours and it will then be decided
whether the government Is to deal

the report as unfounded.

Looking for Friends.


1t is certainly trying to clerk to be
asked to take down every article from
a shelf in a store, and then find that the
customer did not come in with the in
tention of buying, simply to while away
the time, but every clerk in such cir
cumstances has not as comfortable an
opportunity for revenge offered him as
had one of whom the Springfield Re-
publican tells:
He was a clerk in a local store and
had his patience sorely tried by lady
who wanted to look at some baskets.
Evidently she did want to look-and to
do nothing else-for she let the clerk
take from the shelves a large assort-
ment Of baskets, until all but two had
found their way to the counter. Then
she turned away, remarking as an ex-
cuse, that she had only come in to look
for one of her friends.
1t was hardly wonder that the clerk
was exasperated enough to retaliate.
Madam he replied courteously, "If
you have the slightest idea that your
friend is in either of those two bas-
kets still on the shelves, I shall be
pleased to take them down for you to
examine"

Dressing for Shoes.

Kid shoes can be kept soft and free
from cracks by rubbing them once a
week with pure glycerlne or castor oil
The best black ink mixed with the
white of an egg makes a good dressing
for ladies' or childrens shoes.
Milk, applied once a week with soft
cloth, freshens and preserves boots and
shoes.
A solution of gum shellac in caustic
soda, colored with logwood makes a
cheap black dressing.
Put on with a bit of sponge tied to a
a stick, gum shellac dissolved in grain
alcohol, or wood alcohol, and made
black with logwood or other suitable
black substance, makes durable dress
ing.
Top dressing, used by carriage build
ers, is nice for patent leather or rub
ber.
The white of an egg is an excellent
polish for kid boots.

law, however, permits no saloon, but
lnkeepers may sell under license. If

proprietor is arrested and fined; and

Withdrawal Of Judge Willis.

1
Hon. John w. Willis has withdrawn
from the mayorality race in ST. Paul.
The day after his nomination by a
wing of the Democracy he addressed a
note to the rival candidate and offered
in the interest of harmony to retire
from the field, provided the other nomi-
nees would do the same. His PROPOSE
tion elicted no response from ex-Mayor
Smith. Seeing that continuance of a
split in the Democratic party would
insure victory for the Republicans,
the friends of Judge Willis, who are
legion, prevailed upon him to retire
from the contest. It is the best thing
he has ever done. Such sacrifice on
his part has elevated him in the esteem
Of the reform forces OF the city and
state. He has again demonstrated his
f'':elity to Democratic principles. For
more than 20 years he has been the
che mpiOn of popular rights and the
terror of monopolies. In every cam
Ia'gn his eloquent voice has been
heard on behalf of the masses against
the PRIVILEGED classes and by his unceas-
ing advocacy of Jeffersonian doctrines
he has endeared himself to the plain
people of the commonwealth. He is
worthy of any Office in their gift and is
capable of filling it in the most efficient
manner. He is scholar and a gentle
man and is recognized as such beyond
the confines of the state. The position
of mayor of St. Paul would not confer
much honor on a man of his attain
ments. He ought to be occupying a
seat in congress where his ability would
bring him into national prominence.
We are sure that in this presidential
year the Democratic party will be more
than willing to compensate Mr.. Willis
for his display of unselfshness at this
juncture. The party with which he has
been identified SO conspicuously and
whose principles he has always advocat-
ed so ably and so fearlessly owes him
debt of gratitude for his disinterested
patriotism on this occasion-Irish
