FOR MAYOR
ALEX r.. FITHIAN.

ALEA III. IN.
The City Republican Convention
Friday night enthusiastically and with
entire unanimity, placed before the
people as candidate for Mayor Alex
r. Fithian, sof the Fourth ward.
In addition to the delegates there
were many present as spectators and
everyone took a great interest in the
convention.
The delegates were called to order
by Charles H. Stevenson. chairman of
the City Republican committee. and
David s. Blew was unanimously Sc
lected as temporary secretary.
The call of the convention was read
and County Collector E. P. Bacon was
made permanent chairman by accla-
nation. He congratulated the party
upon the harmonious Republican con-
vention held this fall, and thought
the prospects were never brighter for
party success, and he felt that this
convention would nominate man
who would appeal strongly to the
voters of the city.
Mr.. Blew then nominated George
Hughes as permanent secretary, and
the chairman appointed the following
committees:
edentials-Charles Beebe, Fred.
Fox, William Graves.
.Rules-John F. Watson, David s..
Blew, James F. Moore.
Resolutions-Wm. M. Sellers. Har-
old K. Pierson, H. Lamb.
The various committees made unani-
nous reports, there being no contests
among delegates, and rules were pre-
pared for the conventions of the fu-
ture The resolutions of the county
and assembly conventions were adopt
ed as the resolutions of the city con-
vention.
Mr.. David s. Blew then made the
speech nominating Alex. R. Fithian
for Mayor Mr.. Blew said that he
had often wished he could make a
speech, but that talent was denied
him. Last night he was more than
ever anxious to make a speech. He
had known Alex R. Fithian as man
and boy. He was born with him out
on the old Indian Fields, now Irving
avenue and Irving Heights. He had
watched the young man grow to man
hoods estate endowed with ability
and character, and had never known
him to be other than an upright,
earnest, representative. AS Repub-
lican Mr.. Fithian had always been
foremost, active and vigorous, spend
ing and being spent for his partys
success. AS the City's Chief Execu-
tive, if elected, the people would al
ways point to him with pride, and
the public would know him as noble,
kind hearted man.
Charles Beebe, of the Fifth ward
seconded the nomination and upon
motion of Mr.. John f. Watson the
nomination was made by aoclamation,
the Secretary casting the ballot.
Charles Beebe and John F. Watson
were appointed committee to pre-
sent Mr.. Fithian before the Conven-
tion. duty they soon performed,
and Mr.. Fithian was given gener-
ously. earnest reception.
Mr.. Fithian very earnestly thanked
the Convention for the nomination.
He declared himself frankly and fully
regarding his course as Mayor if he
should be selected by the people. He
would be fair, and no matter how
many sides there were to question
he would give fair hearing to every
side and be fair in his conclusions.
He promised business administra-
tion if elected, and again thanked the
convention for the distinction ac-
corded him.
After the Convention Mr.. Fithian
was earnestly congratulated personally
by many.

PaAcgER IN FOX CHASE.
Appearances Understood
by the Hounds.

Some years ago Rev William Inns
ford was the pastor OF . Baptist church
at Bowling Green, KY, and he was
popular with the community, for, be-
sides being an earnest and eloquent
preacher he was fond Of an occasional
chase OF the willy red fox, and with
the fine pack OF dogs owned by the
kennel club he was enabled to crafty
his tastes whenever he desired. says
the Chicago Chronicle. Toe good doc
tor in his church services frequently
led the singing OF some old familiar
hymn full of melody and inspiration
and he had the habit when announcing
hymn of raising his right hand high
above his head in persuasive invitation
to the congregation to all join in the
singing, and with his hand high up
would exelaim when he was ready to
start the hymn, Everybody" and
with the exclamation everybody who
rould master a note of concord or dis
cord would join in with whole-souled
willingness that made the walls OF
the old church resound with melody
that found it's way to the courts above
Judge Delaney, who generally chap
eroned DR.. Lunsford in his fox chases,
says they were out one night when ma
ture was in her .happiest moods and
with fine pack of dogs, trail was
soon struck and in few minutes the
pack was going at full cry in bend
of the river six miles around. TINS
dogs soon passed out of hearing, the
judge drifting off to place where he
was sure the fox had doubled on its
track and the pack scattered. Very
soon one of the pack came in hearing
and rapidly was pursuing reynard in
the direction where the doctor was last
seen The other dogs were beginning
to come in hearing on the hot trail oil
the fox being pursued by the single DOG
and the judge turned his gallop down
where the doctor was awaiting the re-
turn of the exciting music the pack
was giving when they went out OF
hearing into the river bend
The judge rode around a sharp de
clivity and came up unobserved close
to where the doctor was tiptoeing il
his stirrups listening to the sharp, ex
cited mouthings of the single hound al
he holly pursued the fox. Just theI
the main pack begun to draw near ani
the doctor. rising to the utmost of hi
stirrup feathers, raising his right hant
high above his head, sung out. Every
body The passing pack realized tina
the preacher knew what was. wantet
and they closed up the gap between
them and the single dog and soon had
reynard running for life and the
preacher delighted that his church
lingo was thoroughly understood by
his f1eet-footed friends OF the kennel.
So it has come to pass in Bowling
Green that whenever ANYBODY raises
their right hand high above their head
and exclaims Everybody" all hands

MODERN PUBLICITY.
Doings, Sayings and Portraits of All
Classes Nowadays Public
Property.

The fierce light that was supposed to
peat exclusively upon a throne has
come, in our modern conditions, to beat
with almost equal ferceness upon
kitchen The doings, sayings and por-
traits of the cooks OF the truly rich are
nowadays matters for public record,
says Century. Meantime our American
court calendar includes not only the
daily doings of the presidential family
but also of the families of those of our
millionaires who are in and are by some
supposed exclusively to constitute, so
ciety." Not only this, but there is a
system, especially il what would be
called in England the provincial press,
of recording the doings, movements and
visitations of pretty much erybody in
pretty much every community in the
country. What effect is all this
publicity to have upon the average man,
woman and girl? But, particularly
what effect is all this familiarity to have
upon the worlds sentime nt with regard
to royalty and high ecclesiastical au-
thority? AS to these latter matters,
surely there will be palpable effects.
Can the sense of awe continue as great
when there is so little left Of the IN
known? One thing is sure: the senti-
ment toward kings and courts and
vaticans can never remain the same in
these new and remarl, able conditions.
The relation between the former and
their subjects and followers may be
none the less affectiOnate, even rever-
ent; it may become more human, more
close But the mystery having depart
ed, there caa hardly be the old stress.
When the mind is no longer awed and
clouded by the dim and the unknown
the appeal to reason must be reen-
forced
