WHEEL WAS HIS SAFEGUARD,
Petty Naval Officers Bicycle Kept Him from the A1lurements of
 the Saloons.

s1n .Sese days of automobiles, steam carl 7ges and electric vehicles 5 said an obse1 -ant man the other day 20 New Yor1A Tribune man, "the bicycle is not being neglected. It has become too cheap to be popular with the upper classes, but it is more of a blessing than ever to the poor Even the newsboys and bootblacks own their own wheels now. It was on a visit to the cruiser Baltimore the other day that became convinced that one could find bicycles every where.
 "I was passing through one of the : gangways leading to the quarters of the crew. There were guns and fight, ing things on every side. I happened to look up and was surprised to see a bicycle securely fastened to the top of the gangway. It was an old-style wheel, with heavy frame and thick tires, but it had served the petty off. cer who owned it very we'll It had been ridden in most of the seaports of Europe at which American war yes. gels call. The owner had .scorched about the streets of Hong-Kong and had taken bicycle trip into the in terior of Japan. Even in Manila he had found it useful, in spite of the extreme heat.
 sTheowner of that wheel has saved 4kdfe money during the last three years than any other petty officer on the 6fip,' said the lieutenant who was saowing me around. It keeps him <(Ssy when he has shore leave and he ks no desire to go to saloons and

NAUGHTY ANTHONY"

Not since The Heart of Maryland'' and "Zaza" have any of David Belas- co.'s plays been seen here, so that show-goers will welcome the announce ment that his frisky farce, Naughty Anthony" will be played at Polls on Tuesday evening. For four months the play ran at the Herald Square theater, New York. last season, and in Boston and Washington it has similar long runs to it's credit. Charles E. Evans plays the leading role. and those who recall his great work in "A Par Tor Match will be eager to see him in this new comedy. A curtain raiser entitled Madam Butterfly will also be played.

Ten thousand doIIars!" answered the trader in reply. What do you mean?'
 That's what those boys are to run the gantlet with. My-ah-protests are entirely unavailing."
 For a moment Folsom stood there dumb. Do you mean," he finally cried, ''that-that it's beyond Frayne that they're going-that it's money they'r re to tal1e?'
 Hush! Certainly, but it mustn't be known. Every road agent in Wyoming would be out, and every Indian from the Platte to Hudson bay would be on the watch. He's to take ten men and slip through. The money comes out from Burleigh tonight"
 The colonel turned away, and. beckoning to his staff officer to join him, stumped onward to the garrison. The prolonged vail of the bugle, aid ed by the rising night wind, sent the Solemn strains of taps sailing down the dimly-lighted valley, and with staring eyes old Folsom stood gazing after the departing officers, then whirled about toward the tents. There in front of Dean stood Pappoose, her hands clasped tightly over the hilt of the saber the striker" had leaned against the lid of the mess chest but D moment before, her lovely face smil- ing up into the owners.
 ''You'll come back by way of Halls, won't your" she was blithely saying. Perhaps l can coax father to take us there to meet you"
 By heaven, Burleigh," muttered the old trader to himself, "are you the deepest man I ever met, or only the most internal scoundrel?''

order and Ju6le Sn ,dgrass took his
seat.
upon me tion, the platform was recon-
mitted and the chairman instructed to
name ten addition u members Of the COM
mi tee. one from each congressional
district.
The committee retired to reconsider
the objectionable plank, and soon re-
ported with substitute, which was
adopted. The plank reads in part as
follows.
I'VE, therefore, condemn the policy of
forcible annexation the Republican,
party in dealing with the Philippine
Islands as breach of national honor
and violation of the traditions of the
republic, and we hold that as soon as q
stable government can be established in
the Islands they shall be given their in
dependence.
1--WE are opposed to the Republican,
policy of imperialism, which makes sub
iects of alien races without the consent
of the governed, and deuounce such as
contrary in letter and spirit to the
Declaration of Independence and our
free institutions
The platform as ADOPTED reaflirms the
Chicago platform; demands legislation
against trusts and for an income tax; !;
favors building the Nicaragua canals
expresses sympathy for the South Afri-
can Republic, and indorses Gov. Me
MiIin's administration.

nominated for Railroad Commissioner
The name OF Hon Robt. b. Hickey Of

| The next order of business was the
nomination of candidate for Governor
Some enthusiastic delegate, who was
anxious to get through with the bnsi.
ness and get to bed, moved to nominate
Benton McMillin by reclamation.
1t was seconded by fifty delegates, but
the Chair recognized Mayor s. G, Heis-
kell, of Knoxville, who formally pre-
sented the name of Gov. McMillin to the
convention.
| The announcement of Gov McMillin 8
name provoked prolonged cheers.
w. M. Brandon, OF Stewart, moved
J that the nomination be made by accla-
nation.
The motion was carried with whoop,.
and the hair declared Gov. McMillin
the nominee for Governor.
| Gov. McMillin was escorted to the
Convention by a committee, and made a
speech of acceptance.
1t was about o'clock a. M, when the
Convention adjourned.

Night Session.

At the night session S. K. Wilson, Of
Sumner; n. I'll. Hannah, Roane; J. w
Lewis, Henry, and L r. Richardson,
Davidson, were elected alternates to the
Kansas [ ity Convention John M. Cant
was elected delegate rom the Seventh
Congressional district.
The question of the adoption of plat
form created hot discussion. The
position of the platform upon the expan-
sion issue, as reported by a committee,
did not meet with the approval of ma,
jority of the convention and charges
were made by several gentlemen in fiery
speeches that the position of the com
mittee upon the question was not strong
enough. Congressman Pierce and Con,
gressman Carmack and other distin-
guished Tennesseans legged that the
doctrine as advocated in the plank on
expansion was Republican instead of
Democratic.
During the discussion on the expansion
question, Congressman Carmack, attired
in full dress suit, appeared at the left
door of the convention hall. The second
his presence was discovered the dele
gates commenced again shouting "Car-
mack!" ''Carmack!' There were cries
for the Tenth District Congressman, and
as he moved towards the center of the
room several hundred of the delegates
arose, and for few seconds pandemo-
mum reigned. The Congressman, with
his face white as a sheet was escorted.
to the Speakers stand. After Mr.. Car
mack assembled the stand it was full
three minutes before he could proceed.
He strongly protested against the report
of the committee, and demanded a more
pronounced and specific declaration.
Hon. Morgan G.. Fitzpatrick caused
some commotiou when he secured the
attention of the convention and stated
that Gov. Benton McMillin was opposed
to the platform as read and that he
would not run upon such a platform.
He asked that the platform be recon-
mitted TO the committee ana that the
committee be instructed and directed tC
report platform indorsing the Chicago
platform.
Judge Snodgrass, trembling with emo
ton, made his way 10 the stand. Tn,
expansion views of Judge Snodgras:
were well known to the members of tn,

mood to hear much on his side Of th'
question the reception rendered th'

thirty minutes, urging the adoption o

that while it Eas the duty of the Chair

If Senator Morgan can get the
Nicaraguan canal bill reported to
the Senate, he may be able to force
a vote which will show who are the
friends and who the enemies OF the
measure. Possibly it might force
Mckinley to come out of his hole.
But Senator Hanna is fighting
against any action by the committed
and he will probably be able to pre-
vent any.
