Uaeful Men.
A well known Philadelphia soci'

well known RnllaQelpnld SOcicty
woman said the other day: =.
81 have come TO separate the men or
my acquaintance into three classes.
There are the dancing men, the dinner
men and the corner men, and each has
his own place OH my list. For instance,
would never think of depending upon
dancing men for diGner. The dane
ing man is generally callow, and he
doesn't knoty much else besides dane
Ing. On the other hand, the dinner man
seldom dances, but he is a good talker,
is specifically informed upon the light
er topics of the day-the opera, drama,
the latest newsstand can more than
hold up his end. He doesn't allow con-
versation to lag. and consequently he
is an important factor at q dinner. Men
will accept dinner invitations quicker
than Invitations of other kinds, but
don't think from this that they are all
dinner men. Far from it.
1.-THE corner man? Oh, he is the one
who has the knack of making himself
generally useful and is quite in class
by himself He looks after the comfort
of the chaperons, runs handy little er-
rands and can even be depended upon
at afternoon teas. The other men don't
think much Of him, but he has his own
valre from the feminine point of view."

The action of the Supreme Court in
declaring the Illinois antitrust law to

the object which 1t aims to attain.
Thus the popular cry against trusts in

controlled their evils.

JOHNSON THE WHOLE THING

He Dominates Ohio Democratic Con-
vention-Preacher Standard Bearer.
CEDAR POINT. Ohio, Sept. 3.-The
ticket:
Secretary Of State-Rev. Herbert s..
Bigelow.
Supreme Judge-Michael Donnelly.
Food and Dairy Commissioner-Phil
ip H. Bruck.
Member of State Board of Public
Works-Joseph J. Pater.
The Democratic state convention
here today was principally the occasion
of booming it's presiding officer, Mayor
Tom L. Johnson, for the presidency
and Of introducing into Ohio politics
gational church at Cincinnati.
The former has been chiefly before
the public as congressman and dele
gate to national and other conventions
for years, but the latter was not so
well known until today, when he was
made the standard bearer Of his party
and made a speech Of acceptance that
was received with unusual enthusiasm.
Bigelow Is thirty three years Of age,
Independent of his creed. and has be-
come prominent as a lecturer as well
as a popular preacher
The session lasted less than three
hours and had only one ballot, most
of the time being devoted to speeches
and that of Rev. Bfgelow was con-
ceded to be the feature Of the occasion
1t was a Johnson convention
throughout although Mr.. Johnson him
self was more conciliatory today than
at the preliminary meetings Of the past
two days. The platform was adopted
as 1t came from him through the COM
mittee. The state central and execu-
tive committees were both organized
as he suggested and the state ticket
with single exception was nominated
by acclamation, as slated by the john
son men. The chairman was made the
hero of the day in every possible form
Of demonstration.
Men passed through the audience
and the waltz room of the popular
summer resort was full Of men wear
ing buttons inscribed johnson in
1904" There were bushels of these
souvenirs given away, some filling their
pockets,and everybody knew what they
meant, judging from the comments
on every side. Previous to the assem-
bling Of the convention, Mayor John
son was called on by delegations of
those who had vainly opposed him at
the preliminary meetings last night
and said they wanted to cooperate
with him, but that his managers had
been unfair In trying to unseat certain
members Of the state central commit
tee. It was noticed afterward that
Lewis Bernard, who Is opposed to
Johnson, was seated as a member Of
the state central committee without
further opposition. Mayor Johnson,
with his big tent, opens the campaign
at Lorraine next Saturday.
This is the most important declara-
tion Of the platform:
"We the Democrats of Ohio, hereby
acknowledge and declare our con-
tinued allegiance to the Democratic
party Of the nation and ton national
issues reafirm and indorse the prin-
ciples laid down In its last national
platform, adopted at Kansas City, and
with fully and ably represented in the
presidential campaign of 1900 by Will
liam j. Bryan. Regarding those prin-
ciples as opposed to trusts and trust
fostering tariffs, as opposed to finan-
cial monopoly and as opposed to all
other legalized monopolies and privi-
leges, we condemn every effort to re-
pudiating and ignore them"

LENNON GETS LEASE
LIBRARY BOARD Is STIRRED BY
RENTING PROPOSITION
Heated Argument Is Engendered Whek
President Young and Committee on
Grounds and Buildings Object tc
Leasing Of Lot to g. G.. Lennon
Without Receiving Sealed Proposals.

After stormy session the library
board last night voted to lease to G..
ID. Lennon the plot or ground, So by
loo feet, adjoining the George b. Lens
non clothing store at Seventh and Wac
basha streets. The conditions were
embodied in Lemons proposition to
the board. Lennon is to erect q build
ing on the leased ground. The ground
Is leased for a term OF six years. If
at the expiration of the lease q re-
newal is refused, the building must be
removed.
The adoption Of the resolution to
lease to Lennon came after heated
debate. President Young and the mem
bers of the committee on grounds and
buildings favored the reception of seal
ed proposals, President Young explain
ing that he had in his possession
sealed communication from Manager
Walker, of the Nicollet Clothing house,
Of Minneapolis. !.
The president Of the board limited
that the offer Of the Minneapolis man
was a better proposition, but said he
was not ready to read the bid unless
the property was to be leased to the
highest bidder submitting sealed pro-
posals.
Director Butler secured the floor and
filed an objection. He pointed out
that the bid of the st. Paul clothing
merchant had already been made pub
lie and insisted that the board would
be taking an unfair advantage If at
this time it permitted the Minneapolis
concern to file an Offer He insisted
that this would compel Mr.. Lennon to
bid more than he could afford.
After President Young had explain
ed his connection with the affair, by
saying that his only motive in favor
ing sealed proposals was to secure the
highest bid possible, the board voted
to lease the property to Mr.. Lennon.

They WANT AMES BACK
Ex-cAPTAIN FRlTcHETTE WOULD
PAY FOR MAYORS RETURN
Good Old Days Are Missed by the Gang
and Thousand Dollars Would BE Given
to Secure the Doctors Presence-Hls
Health Is Still Bad.

Ex-Police Captain Coffee John'' Fitch
cite said yesterday that he was offered
$1,000 to bring DR.. Ames back to Minne-
apolis. to assume control Of the city gov
ernment once more. While the genial
ex-captain would not say who made him
the offer, 1t Is more than likely that it
was done by number Of the deposed city
officials who have met with reverses at
the hands Of the present administration.
It is hardly possible that the friends Of
the mayor will be able to induce him to
return to the city at the present time. In
the first place his health is In such a
condition that 1t would not be wise for
him to make the change. and should he
return and attempt to overthrow the
present administration, the city council
would take a hand and endeavor to pre-
vent any radical change which he might
be inclined to make, even at the earnest
solicitation Of his friends.
There is absolutely no possibility Of the
former mayor returning to the scene Of
his former activity, and the proposition Is
viewed in the light Of a bugbear.
