eve get an odd order now and then," said local jeweler to Detroit Free Press man. Look at these silver t-picks--just ordinary horseshoe nails. A gentleman brought two dozen of them in the other day to have them silver-plated. He said that one of his grandfathers was a country blacksmith, and that some of the hap piest days of his life, as a child, had been spent playing around in bis blacksmith shop. He also said that he believed he owed his good health and strong moral fiber to the blacksmith strain in his blood, for his grandfather blacksmith was preacher and good man. Furthermore, he explained, that in these days of snobs and much social foolishness he liked to make acknowl- edgment of the fact that he had a blacksmith grandfather, and was proud of him. If you notice," added the jeweler, Ca horseshoe nail does make fine nutpick. The man who ordered these silver-p1ated said that his children wouldn't use anything else. He lamented the fact that he couldn't get some old-fashioned hand wrought horseshoe nails--the kind his grandfather used to make."

Enjoy a Sleighride to West Cheshire
 One Sleigh Overturned.

One Sleigh Overturned.
 About sixty members of the senior and junior classes of the High school enjoyed a sleighride last night. Two large sleighs conveyed them to West Cheshire. They left the High school at T:3O and returned at an early hour this morning. The pupils. who were accompanied by Leo J. Curley and Joseph F. Kennedy, members of the faculty of the High school, had a glori- ous time. There were one or two things that the pupils did not enjoy. Whenever they came to bridge every body had to get out and walk, as there was no snow on the bridges. When they reaclWd the hotel in West Che shire they enjoyed a short entertain ment and dancing. Supper was served. on the return trip the merry party had cold experience. One of the sleigbs sank in a big drift and overturned. The pupils and Instructors Curley and Kennedy were thrown headlong into large drift and some of them landed near a barbed wire fence. All was confusion for several minutes. Some of the pupils were hidden from sight in the snow and on top of them were four or five more persons. At length they were rescued from their undesired position by friends who were riding in single sleighs. A number of persons were somewhat cut and badly shaken up by the overthrow. After that the sleigh went along smoothly.

WARMERS ROLL CALL SCHEME.
It Didn't Work and He Was Downed
 for First Time.

 Some curiosity was excited in the convention Wednesday afternoon, says the Hartford Times. by the motion of Delegate Warner of Salisbury that on the yea and nay vote on the Perry resolution for a committee to consid- CT the representation question. the roll be called according to the alphabeti- cal order of the names. This Is con trary to the usual plan. the roll call being arranged and printed with the delegates grouped by counties. begin ming with Hartford. and following With the time-honored arrangement of the other counties according to the orGer III which they were organized III eacn county the towns are arranged aipnabetically, according to the an clenI practice, excepting that the shire towns are placed at the top, Hartford aC the head of Hartford county. New
 1aVen and Waterbury at the head of NeW Haven county, Norwich and New London at the head of New Lon uon county, etc. 1t will be noticed that by this arrangement the places or largest population come at the head or the list in each county. The del egates from these larger places were certaln to vote for the Perry resolu- tion with scarcely one exception. and MT Warner saw the disadvantage to his side of having the first votes in each county against him. Under q call of names in alphabetical order. the yea and nay vote would have started off with the name of Mir Allyn of Ledyard, one of the small towns of New London county. before reaching the nrst of the city towns, that of Wlndham. and seventeen before reach Ing norwich. From these smaller toWns Mir Warner anticipated getting votes generally against the Perry res olution, and starting off with a strong negative showing would, in his opin- ion, have more or less effect upon the votes of undecided delegates farther down the list. However, Mir Warner had no opportunity to determine how ms plan would have worked. as Pres our of order at the time 1t was offered. inc previous question having been or- uered. An instance Is remembered or previous attempt to change the roll call system in the house. This was about fifteen years ago. The clerk had privately consented to an ! arrangement for an alphabetical roll call, and was proceeding to call the roll in that order on test question. There was an immediate and emphatic l protest, resulting in beginning over l again with the roll in the usual order The purpose at that time, when. 1t is l understood, the issue was a railroad ! contest, was the same as that of MT ! Warner-to avert the possible infiu- l ence of the votes of the delegates from the larger places at the begin ming of each county list.

JOB FOR LIFE
DECLINED BY
NJ LAURIN
SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATIC
SENATOR TURNS DOWN GIFT
OFTHE PRESIDENT BECAUSE
OF CRITICISM. ro

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 22-President
Roosevelt is in receipt of a letter from
Senator John L. McLaurin, OF South Caro-
Hna,S declining the proffered appointment
to the vacancy on the bench Of the
United States court of claims. The pres
ident, II can be said, much regrets SEN
ator McLaurins decision, as he believes
that McLaurin's senatorial experience and
his career as attorney general Of South
Carolina would have rendered him a par
ticularly good addition to the court of
claims.
The president now is uncertain what
he will do about Senator McLaurin. 1t
is understood that he Is anxious to ap-
point him to some position in recognition
of what the president regards as his
services to the country and his demon
strated ability in public life.
Senator McLaurins letter is couched In
the most positive terms and evidently was
based in particular upon a newspaper
article which accompanied the letter. The
article states that the senator had sold
himself for the prospect of getting such
an office as that offered to him. 1t can
be said, however, that the president re-
garded such a type of accusation as be-
meath notice, and sincerely regrets that
Senator McLaurin should have deemed II
necessary to pay any attention to 1t.
Senator McLaurin evidently has chang
ed his mind about accepting the proffered
appointment since he was in Oyster Bay
on July 18th. At that time he indicated
his readiness to accept the vacancy of the
court of claims, and the only question
then was when he should resign from the
senate.

FAMOUS OLD BEAR
HUNTER IS FAILING
~5Ie TOM" WILSON. WHO HOPES
TO HUNT WITH PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT, MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO DO so.


CHARLOTTE, n. c., July IA special
from Asheville, n. c., says:
A report comes from Black Mountain,
not altogether direct, but none the less
credited, to the effect that the health OF
big Tom" Wilson is failing fast. Big
Tom, whose fame as a bear hunter has
long since broken through state bounds,
proposes to act as guide for President
Roosevelt should he take part in the pros
pective bear hunt this fall in which he has
talked over interestedly with Senator
Pritchard. There are those who firmly
believe that the president really means
to make the trip, and TO all such per-
sons the report concerning Big Toms
physical condition is a source OF alarm.
They fear that in his enfeebled state he
will not be able to keep pace with the
strenuous strides OF the chief executive.
The presidents expressed desire TO chase
Bruin on the lofty Black has given rise
TO a number of suggestions, some Of which
are perhaps more amusing than valuable.
One view is that the president should en-
ter the Land of the Sky between two
days and Immediately make break for
tall timber; otherwise he would be hunted
down by office seekers and not be able TO
take a shot at any sort of game without
killing a score or more OF the class OF
gentry referred to. Others scout this
view. contending that no one would be so
lacking in a sense of the eternal fitness
of things as to importune the president
under such circumstances. Those VINO hold
this opinion, and they are in a decided
majority. say the president should first
come to Asheville for a days rest.

WELLS is HANGED
AND DIES GAME
SAT AND LISTENED TO HIS FUN
ERAL SERMON AND THEN
BEGGED PRISONERS TO
PROFESS RELIGION.

w. r. Wells was hanged Monday morn
ing and the murder of Frederic Pierce, the
blind man, is avenged The death trap
fell at II :06 o. cock and his neck was brok-
en- by the fall, but for fifteen minutes the
heart beats of the dying man could be felt
He mounted the gallows game to the core
and died without a struggle. At n:2l,
when the county physician had pronounc-
ed him dead, the body was cut down.
The execution by order of the court was
private and was witnessed by only the
sheriff and his deputies, minister of the
gospel, two physicians. an undertaken and
p. c. Coker, brother-in-law of Wells.
The judge issued an order to admit only
relatives and such friends as Wells re-
quested to be present, the friends having
to be approved by the court. The court
was absent and the sheriff. therefore did
not admit any one. Frank Hilburn, the
undertaken. who took charge Of, the body,
was admitted as a deputy sheriff.
1t was only minute or two before IL
o'clock, when Wells was led from the
condemned cell to the death chamber. In
his cell he had just held religious services
with Rev. ]. S. Goodwin, the Jail chaplain,
and Uncle Richard an old-time slavery
negro, who had known the condemned
man all his life. Wells had told them, as
he had told all who had seen him, he was
ready to die. He entered the execution
room without a CULVER and mounted the
steps leading to the gallows alone He
carried himself erect and took his stand on
the trap without being told or shown.
Sheriff helms then adjusted the black
cap on the still smiling face and stepped
| back towards the trigger that springs the
trap.
Goodbye old fellow. goodbye" said
the sheriff. And as Wells echoed the
goodbye" through the black cap, the
button was pushed and the trap doors
fell.
There was drop of five feet The body
was jerked upward by the force Of the
fall and then remained motionless. The
neck had been broken. but life still re-
manned in the motionless body. For ff-
teen minutes the doctor felt the purse
beats as they grew fainter and tainted.
At the end of that time he pronounced
him dead and the body was cut down.

IN BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE. July 3.-The tornado
which suddenly struck the city Sunday
afternoon at Is5 o'clock, involving the
loss Of several lives and widespread de-
struction OF property. was the severes'
which has been known In this district for
many years.
The weather bureau was taken COM
pletely BY surprise. Almost without Q
moments warning an irresistible wind,
apparently IN the nature OF whirlwind'
came from the southwest, and in an In
slant the waters OF the harbOr were con-
verted into a seething cauldron, boats
were capsized. while the stauncnest YES
sells az anchor were violently rocked
OF the twelve lives that were lost, ten
were drowned BY the upsetting OF boats IN
the river one was killed by tree falling
on him and one by coming IN contact with
q i've electrical wire.
A careful estimate furnished from police
headquarters yesterday shows that ~
houses were unroofed during the
prevalence OF the storm SIX roofs IN one
block were blown OF.
The roof OF the William Street Indepen-
dent Methodist church was lifted high In
the afr and blown over the roofs OF other
houses to a distance OF $50 feet
The stone spire OF Holy Cross Catholic
church was hurled 70 the ground
A part OF the raof OF Trinity Protestant
church was torn on. while the historic
steeple OF St Mary's Star Of the Sea
Catholic church was completely destroyed.
The public squares and parks are con-
sfderably wrecked. Much damage has
been done 70 house fronts In all sections
OF the city by falling trees
In the business section OF the city num-
er0us plate windows have been blown IN.
telegraph and telephone services have
been crippled 20 some extent. and many
lines are out OF use In the country havoc
was wrought among telegraph poles n
the city and suburbs there Is a tangled
mass OF wires 20 be labOriously put in or
der.
The center OF the disturbance seemed
20 be right IN the city. Out in the sub
urhs there was a terrific blow but the
amount OF damage shows that II did not
compare with the velocity in Baltimore.
