ODELL SCORES TRIUMPH.
Forces Platt TO Accept William Ward
for Committeeman.


CHICAGO, June 19.-Unless some
very unforeseen events interfere, the
New York delegation VIII select Will
liam Ward of the Westchester district
TO be national committeeman. This
decision, contemplated for some time
by Governor Odell was not arrived at
without considerable friction and the
announcement was not received to-
night with great cordiality by many of
the delegates. Sheldon, the present
national committeeman, was appointed
by the late Chairman Hanna. Govern
or Odell opposed him. because of an
antagonistic attitude assumed toward
him by Sheldon after the latter had
been denied the nOmination for Lieu
tenant Governor on the last New York
State ticket.
Governor Odell had two candidates,
William Warren of Buffalo and Will
liam Ward of Westchester Senator
Platt was for Sheldon's retention first,
and, when that was refused, was
either for former State Chairman
George w. Dunn of Binghamton or J.
Sloat Fassett of Elmira. This after
noon Warren of Buffalo met Ward on
the street and said:
Ward, if you really care for the
place on the national committee l will
retire in your favor"
Ward said he did not care for It and
the two men went TO Governor Odell
and apprised him of the difficulty. Sen
ator DeDew was present, and, after
hearing Warrens statement, announc-
ed TO the Governor that he favored
Ward, who was from nis own district.
1t was decided to go to Senator Platt
and announce the decision and then
occurred the first objection. Senator
Platt said that former Chairman Dunn
should have the place, to compensate
him for the loss of the State chair
manship. Governor Odell objected and
when Senator Platt substituted the
name of former State Senator j. Sloat
Fassett he entered the same objection.
Finally Senator Platt agreed to Wards
selection.

Rev. J. F'uendeling Speaks FeeIingIy of

De turned into mourning and all your
mirth into lamentatiOn." He spoke of
the sympathy that went out from the
hearts of all Americans TO the suf-
ferers. 10 the bereaved and to the
church. and he paid a high tribute to
the officers Of the New York church
all of whom, he said, were at their
posts when the awful need came for
their assistance. These officers were
counted among the lost.
A thought that had come to him in
the hour Of sorrow was the evidence
OF harmony which exists among the
denomina tions in New York. Among
the hundreds missing were many Of
other denominations than the Lutheran
church.
The speaker said he had instantly

stanler,s African NicI.name.

1t is very fitting that the native
name for Stanley. "Bula Matari,
should form part of the inscription on
his coffin. 1t means, we believe. The
Rock Breaker" and expresses the At
rican conception of the highest kind
of physical power. To the great ma
jority Of the natives with whom he
came in contact Stanley was an en-
tfrely super-human being. and vet he
was not, physically speaking. a par
ticularly strong man. 1t was his ex-
traordinary will power which made
him appear of gigantic strength to men
who could easily have picked him up
and carried him in their arms.-Lon-

The use of colored inks is almost as
ancient as writing itself since we find
in the oldest manuscripts black, ID,
green. violet and yellow inks. usually
applied only as ornaments, except the
old "standbys," black and red: and
consequently we are not surprised that
inkstands with two or more wells were
known to the most ancient peoples =

ers often knew the irritation that
comes of having put the pen into the
