THE SMALLEST TRUNKS.

Probably the smallest practical
trunks ever carried are the property of
the herd of baby elephants that this
season are exhibiting in connection
with Gentry Bros famous shows.
The particular pachyderms in ques-
ton are the tiniest elephants in all the
world. They were imported from In
dia last winter by the Gentry Brothers.
In addition to their super-intelligence
they are endowed with the best of ma
ture and enjoy the association with
the children. Their part of the per-
Torrance is said to consist of re-
markable repertoire, seemingly impos-
sib1e and difficult acts, which almost
beggar description. The little e1e-
plants and all their merry associates,
who go to make Gentry Bros famous
shows twice their usual size, will ex-
hibit in this city, afternoon and night,
opposite Deming school, Monday, Au-
gust r.

Do THE people of Kenosha fully ap-
preciate the proportions of the Gilbert
M. Simmons Public Library and its
significance to the city? While the
report of the Librarian indicates that
the privileges made possible to our
citizens by the library are seized upon
with avidity, it would not be surprls-
ING if the full extent of Mr.. Simmons
gift to the people were not understood
The latest issue Of the New York Times
Saturday evening book review con-
tains an article on the spread of public
libraries in the States Of the United
States in the past two years. The ar
tic1e gives a complete report OF the
libraries founded by benevolence and
otherwise in the United States in the
time mentioned, and a statement of
the cost and extent of the buildings
and the books. It should be source
of the utmost satisfaction to the c1t1-
zens of Kenosha to note that in this
list, containing many cities IN each
State. Kenosha is accredited with the
most costly and comprehensive public
library which benevolence has erected
in the past two years, or for the erec-
ton of which it has prepared the
means, with the exception of New
York. st. Louis, Syracuse and the IL
braries connected with one or two edu-
cational institutions. This places Ke-
nosha practically fifth in the list.
Considered in the light of the fact
that the period covered by the report
of the Times has witnessed the great
est growth in public libraries in the
history of the world, and that the Ii
braries established during this time
have been far more complete than
those previously established, the posi-
ton of Kenosha as library town be-
comes strikingly apparent. More
over, in reading the report of the
Times, it is gratifying to observe that,
while many have been established by
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, for her magnifi-
cent library Kenosha is indebted to
local capital and generosity.

MARYLAND REPUBLICANS
Hold the "White Supremacy" Cry of Dem
ocrats of No Importance.

ocrats of No Importance.
Baltimore, Md, Aug. 1.-THE Repub-
lican state convention held here yester-
day placed in nomination the follow
ing ticket: For state controller, Her
man S. Plat, of Baltimore; for clerk
of the court CT appeals, Thomas Par
ran, of Calvert county. Both nomina-
tons were made by reclamation, nc
other names coming before the conyen-
ton. Interest conferred mainly in the
platform and the speeches, all of which
teemed with denunciation of Democ-
racy in general and ex-senator German
in particular.
The white supremacy" issue raised
by the Democrats in the platform
adopted by them at last weeks con-
vention was ignored in that upon
which the Republican candidates will
stand, but it came in for its unfavor-
able mention in the speeches. Phillips
Lee Goldsborough, chairman of the
Republican state central committee, in
the opening address said: The sug-
gestion that more than so per cent. of
the white population of the state is in
jeopardy is an insult to a brave and
intelligent people, who are justly
proud Of the glory of their state. There
has never been a time when there has
not been white mans government in
Maryland"
The platform is standard Republican
and indorses all the acts Of the general
government in its national planks.

turn.
Still another interesting announcement of
yesterday il the fact that Messrs. Teller,
Pettigrew, Towne and Cannon. all silver
republicans. have congratulated Mr.. Dubois
on mis- election, and In it "a sign OF
hope for the new democracy" May we
not soon expec. therefore to hear of those
gentlemen going into the democratic house

caucus? And why not? If Mr. Bryan Is
Il democrat. they are democrats. If there
Is a single reason why they should object
10 the name of democrat as that word is
now applied i'll our politics it does not APP
pear 10 the naked eye. And that their re-
ception would be cordial is certain. 1t
would occasion a jubilation.
