MR.. sCHWAB's GIFT.

The Assembly Hall Is Finally Pre-
sented to Mt. Aloysius Academy.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Cresson, Pa, June INT. Aloysius
academy at Cresson today received as
gift from Charles NJ. Schwab presi-
dent of the United States Steel corpor-
alton, a handsome alumni and assembly
hall. The structure which cost s25, 900
adioins the academy and is superbly
fitted with stage and auditorium furni-
ture. Several thousands of country
people flocked to the old town.
Governor Stone and distinguished
prelates from all over the country
came to take part in the ceremony of
gift-recruiting. Mr.. Schwab, who was
reared five miles distant from the COL
lcSe, made the presentation in person.
Previous to the formal assembly he al
luded humorously in conversation to his
start in life as a stage driver on the
old state road passing in front of the
academy. He even admitted that in
the heydey of youth he had helped him
self, without leave. to apples from the
trees now on the lawn of the academy.
What | do today, is but partial rep
aration for the apple thefts of my
youth" he said. Millions today are not
as sweet to me as recollections of the
taste of purloined Baldwns from that
old tree down yondor.'
Governor w. A. Stone responded in a
speech of acceptance in behalf of the
faculty.
Governor Stone was followed in the
speechmaking by Rev. NJ. Smith who
received the gft and Rev. NJ. M
Sheedy, who made the address to the

Democratic party, etc, repeatedly af-
firmed by past Democratic conven-
tions."
Mr.. Bryan Ignored.
No effort was made to bring in the
name of William j. Bryan.
The platform, so far as it relates to
| national issues, insists upon a rigid en-
forcement of the present antitrust
laws and favors further legislation,
both federal and state, to prevent such
combinations as destroy competition;
denounces the Republican tariff as a
prolific mother of trusts and demands
thorough revision of the tariff
Continuing, the platform says:
We are opposed to the British system
OF colonization, by means of which pow
erfdl, selfish interests are enabled to en-
ploy the resources of tho people to en-
slave inferior races and to enrich them
selves. We arc in favor of true America II
expansion as has been achieved in the
past and by means of which vast terri
tories have been dedicated forever to
equality and freedom. We, therefore, de-
| nounce the measures adopted by the Re-
publicans for the government of the Phil
ippines as monopolistic and autocratic
| and dangerous to liberty at home as we'll
| as liberty abroad
We denounce the threatened assault
,pon the public treasury contemplated in
tho ship subsidy bill passed by the Rcpub-
ican senate, as one of the boldcst and
most flaGrant attempts which has yet
been made to grant public monies in aid
of private business enterprises.
We believe that the American govern
mcnt should announce to the Philippines
that it is not our purpose permanently
to retain their country, but as soon as
hostilities shall cease and stable gov
ernment he established, the United States
will recognize tho Independence of the
Philippines, as was done in the case of
Cuba
We favor liberal pensions for all do
serving soldiers and sailors and their de-
pendent widows and orphans.
We extend our hearty congra ratulatons
TO the newly established republic of Cuba
We express our horror and deep regret
at the monstrous crime which removed
from the nation its much ioved and
mourned president. William Mckinley.
The tents of anarchy have no place in
American institutions.
The platform concludes with express
slons of regret at the death of former
Governor John =. Altgeld.

Harrison and his friends succeeded in
beating the Hopkins men in the dis

minority report favoring the cleo
ton of Harrison was made, and the
fight carried to the floor of the con-
vention.
The struggle produced wild excite
ment. Impassioned speeches were made
in favor of both reports.
The delegates at times We're frantic
and criticisms highly personal in their
nature We're frequently exchanged.
A motion to adopt the minority re-
port as a substitute was voted down by
the ayes and noes. The poll was then
called on the adoption of the ma ajority
report.
On this Hopkins won by a vote of S6-
to 39I against COOK county's vote was:
Harrison, 253: Hopkins 200.
The committee on resolutions had a
long and stormy session before their
report was finally adopted.
The principal fight was over the first
planks in the platform. AS originally
drafted, this read:
THE Democrats of Illinois declare
their adherence to the fundamental
principles OF the Democratic party ms
laid down in the declaration of indie
pendence, and the constitution of the
United States, affirmed at our last ma
tional convention"
This was considered by the opponents
of silver AS too specific Il declaration
in favor of the Kansas City platform
and they fought 1t. For three hours
the debate went on, and the plank was
amended to read:

People are growing healthier and
lives are becoming longer in this coun-
try, if medical statistics can be relied
on, According to figures published in
the last week life has been heightened
by an average of Al years in the last
decade.
In 1890 the average length of life in
the United States was 3l.1 years. In
1900 this mean average had risen to
35.2 years, chiefly by reason of the de-
crease in mortality among the very
young.
The three diseases which have caused
the most deaths in recent years are
pneumonia, consumption and heart dis
case, in the order named. Deaths from
the first cause have increased slightly
and medical science has made compara-
lively little progress in finding a spec
iiic treatment for 1t.
Pneumonia is an infectious disease

contagious as are many other diseases.
