Davis a Surpise--Skelch Of The
Candidates.

ST LOUIS, June 9.--The crush OF
visitors around the doors and inside
the convention ball was greater than
MT any previous session. 1t was some
thing rarely paralleled at any national
convention.
Extras had spread the news over
the town that nomination was to be
expected, and the crowd was greater
than AT any previous session.
The first genuine reception was given
TO Senator Hin of New York, who
made his first appearance in the hall.
General Nelson A. Miles was also
present for the first time
Hundreds passed through the doors

practice. He rapidly won fame as a
brilliant and solid man IF the bar, and
in 1886 his ability was recognized by
an appointment as associate justice of
the supreme court Of the state TO fill
an unexpired tsrm.
In 1891 the democrats state con.
yention asked him to become the
nominee Of that party for governor
of New York, hut he declined, stat
ing that his duties on the supreme
bench were of more congenisl
nature than those of the chief exec.
utive.
He was nominated for chief judge
of the supreme court of the state in
1897, and although the state had
gone republic uniformly since 1892.
he was elected by an enormous ma
jority over his republican opponent.
Judge Parker continues to hold this
position, and is famous as a man of
the most profound legal learning and
rare Judgment.
His home is ut Esopus. near Kings
ton, on the Hudson, where he has
beautiful farm and handsome home.
He lives quietly and comfortably, and
is held in the highestl respect and
regard by his people. yEarlv in his

DAVIS FOR SECOND PLACE.
ST. Louis, Mo-, July 1.-THE nomi
nation of former Senator Henry e.
Davis. of West.. Virginia, for vice
president. was brought about during
the closinREhonrsgof the democratic
national convention by the combna-
tion Of southern and New York dele
gates, who dominated fthe convention
and who made possible the noination
of Judge Parker.
Mr.. Davis is the most intimate po-
litical friend, as we'll as near relative,
of Senator German. but the boom for
the West virginian vas started with
out Mr.. Gornan's knowledge.
He was suggested bv Hon. Joshua
W. Miles, Of Maryland Former
Senator Camden, of West Virginia,
was approached with the suggestion
of Mr.. Davis candidacy, and gave it
n n lc flak h..
carried the suggestion to Mr.. Davis.
who expressed his willingness to PC
cept That was FRIDAY night Sat
urday morning Mr.. Davis started
homeward. Armed with an assurance
that Mr.. Davis wonld accept the sec
ond place on the ticket, Mr.. Miles
and Murray vandiver called no Mr..
Sheehau aud former Governor Hill,
the leaders Of the New York dele
cation, who had already considered
his availability.
All day Saturday the West Virgin
iansfand Marv landers put in some ac-
tive work in behalf of their candidate
The result is we'll known The motion
to make Mr.. Davis the unanimous
nominee Of the convention came be-
fore he had received the required
two-thirds. mejority.
Mr.. Davis is wealthy man. and it
is believed that he will make most
liberal contribution TO the camraign
fund. His-Ecandidacv will serve to
induce Senator German to take more
tive interest in the campaign than
was.his intention.
Mr.. Davis was candidate for the
democratic nominationlfor governor
of West Virginia before he was ncmi-
mated for vice president. The state
nomination would have come his wav

him. 1t is believed that he can name

There are many women of 90 who do not look over thirty and some of thirty who look fully fifty, the differ ence being caused by sickness. The wrinkles, the drawn lines of suffering. the cancellation, nine times out or ten' come from a weakened condition or dis- ordered stomach.
