convention in favor of a distinctly
"white mans party"
The spirit of the convention was
shown during the eloquent and stirring
speech OF Temporary Chairman John
T. McGraw Of Grafton. He was greet
ed with applause in contrasting Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt and finally was
interrupted by demonstrations when
he referred to President Roosevelt
and Booker T. Washington. When
mention was first made in McGraw's
keynote speech to Henry G. Davis as
"the young grand old man OF West
Virginia." the convention became wild.
Flags we're unfurled, hats and hand
kerchiets waved and the yelling was
not hushed until the band struck W
Dixie and exhausted it's melody in the
rivalry of noise. Every subsequent
reference to Davis met with CHEERS.

FARMS FOR RAILWAY MEN.
Pennsylvania's Proposed Scheme tl
BENEFIT It's Employees.

Pennsylvania Proposed Scheme to
Benefit It's Employees.
The Pennsylvania railroad has under
consideration a plan by which all of
the thousands Of employees may, If
they SO desire, become proprietors Of
little farms, says a Philadelphia dis
patch to the New York Mail. The
scheme contemplates the parceling out
Of desirable land belonging to the rail
road company along the various lines
Of track and permitting the free use of
this land to every employee who
wishes to put the land under cultiva-
ton.
In cases where the employee himself
might not have the time to conduct a
little truck farm the offer would hold
If the members Of the employees fam
lily were willing to look after the land.
be provided within a short distance of
the homes Of the men, and in every
case the farm would be in a place
that would make easy the marketing
of such produce as was not consumed
by the families Of the employees.
DR.. w. H. Tolman, director Of the
American Institute of Social Science in
New York, brought the plan to the at
tention of President A. j. Cassatt in a
letter which, besides advocating it's adj
vantages, showed how successfully the
same idea is at present being carried
out along the lines Of railroads in
France. 1t was shown that the North
ern railroad in France has provided
farms for 5000 employees. that the
Eastern road has provided farms for
$500, the Southern road for 1900 and
| the Orleans road for more than 6,OOO
employees. and that these farms. be-
sides aiding the prosperity of the rail
road men, also increase the business OF
the road and add materially to the
wealth Of the entire nation.
President Cassatt replied to the let.
ter in a cordial note stating that he
had considered the plan carefully and
was impressed with the figures from
France and concluded by stating that
he had turned the letter over to the
superintendent of the railroad with in
structions to report upon the feasibil
ity Of the scheme here. Along som
lines the road has not enough lant
along the right of way, but on othel
lines it is believed that the plan could
easily be carried out.

Rubber Trust Man Takes Them FrOm
Links to Prepare For Business.
Charles H. Dale of the rubber trust
has sent two caddies of the Larchmont
Golf club to a New York business col
lege, says a Larchmont IN. " special
to the New York Times. The boys,
both of whom are Italians, are Tony
S%antucci and Eugene Rose Of Harri-
son, sixteen and seventeen years old
respectively. MI. Dale became ac-
quainted with them at the golf club.
They we're SO bright and attentive that
he soon became interested in them n
asked them if they did not want to
prepare themselves for a business ca
reer.
Both of the lads were anxious to adj
vance themselves, but at first they hes
itated to accept the offer, because they
said that their parents would be angry
with them if they gave up their places.
Mr.. Dale assured them that he would
arrange matters so that they would
lose nothing. He is now paying their
car fare from Harrison to New York
every day and allows them SIP a week
each for luncheon money and expenses.
When they have completed their course,
Mr.. Dale has promised them positions.
Recently Mr.. Dale appointed Mr..
Morrison, the manager of the Larch-
mont Yacht club, to take general
charge Of the Chicago Office Of the
Peerless Rubber company at a salary
of $4,000 a year. Mr.. Morrison was
once a brakeman for Mr.. Dale when
he was a railroad conductor in Penn
s%ylyania.

WALL VISITS PARKER
WISCONSIN MAN CARRIES A MES.
SAGE FROM BRYAN TO DEM
ocRATlc NOMINEE.

Esopus, N. Y, Aug. Awkward G.
Wall of Wisconsin and Mrs. Wall were
guests of Judge Parker Wednesday.
They are en- route to Europe. Mr..
Wall brought a cordial message direct
from William J. Bryan, assuring Judge
Parker that he is heartily with the
ticket and will place himself at the
disposal of the Democratic national
committee 10. do everything in his
power to insure party success this
fall. Mr.. Wall said that Mr.. Bryan
had been misunderstood in the East,
and that the feeling toward him is un-
fortunate. Continuing, he said:
"Mr. Bryan is a Democrat and never
will be anything else. While differing
on some questions from delegates to
the st. Louis convention he realizes
that these questions we're ruled upon
and has accepted the decision. He is
satisfied with the platform adopted
and thinks all circumstances consid'
cred, the platform is for the best in
terests of the party at large. He be
lieyes 1t to be the duty of every Demo
crat to support loyalty the platform
and the ticket of the party"
Mr.. Wall said Mr.. Bryan's admira
ton for Judge Parker was not half
| hearted, and that Mr.. Bryan said Judge
| Parker's telegram showed him to be
q man of courage.
Judge Parker was greatly interested
in the Wisconsin situation. MI. Wal
| told him that while the state, undel
normal conditions, gives 10000 plural
ity to the Republicans, the breach be
tween the Lafollette and the "stal
wart" factions is of such a nature tina
1t cannot be healed. He expressed
the belief that the Democratic stat
ticket would be elected.

STEAMBOAT STILL RUNNING.
The Grand Republic Continues to
Make Regular Trips.

New York, Aug. 4.-The steamboat
Grand Republic made her regular
trips to Coney Island Wednesday, not
withstanding the federal steamboat in
sp%ectors testified Tuesday before the
federal commission that her equip
ment was SO inadequate that in the
event of fire her passengers might be
helpless as were the thousand who
died on the General Slocum. Captain
George Beebe, the manager of the
steamboat, in an interview answered
many of the charges made by Federal
Inspector Todd against the equipment
of the vessel, which, he asserted, was
in good order in nearly every respect.
With the exception Of Secretary
Atkinson of the Knickerbocker Steam
ship company. who is ill, all of those
indicted by the federal grand jury in
connection with the Slocum disaster
furnished bail Wednesday.
Technically a boat is liable to a fine
OF $500 for each trip made until the
orders of the inspectors are satisfied.

Treasury Ventilation.
By request of Secretary Shaw, Con-
eress appropriated $175,OOO at its last
session for the installation of a modern
system Of ventilation in the treasury
department. The appropriation became
available July 1 and plans have been
prepared by the drafting division OF
Mhe supervising architects office for the
proposed system. There is wide difrer-
ence of opinion, however, whether the
system will be put in and the money
spent this year. This uncertainty
grows out Of the fact that numerous
officials of the department oppose a
ventilating system, and they have been
arguing with those in favor of 1t. Al
though Secretary Shaw asked for the
appropriation and wanted the system
nut in. he will not direct the work te
begin unless he feels that it will accom-
plish the object intended and that thu
massive walls of the treasury will no
be harmed by the drilling n boring
/ that will be necessary to place duct'

OLD JOHN L. SULLIVAN
is tanned BY GIRLS
Fair Revy compeIs Former Champion to
Raise Street Car Blockade.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA large stout
man stood in the middle Of Broadway,
near Twenty first street, at l p. m. to-
day.
He occupied the space between the two
car tracks, and what is more, he filed it..
His twenty-one inch neck fell in billowy
folds over his nineteen Inch collar, and the
ample cut of his new overcoat showed his
eight feet of girth measurement to the
best advantage.
His knees were firmly fixed together.
and his wide apart feet gave his swayins
body a broad base within which it's per-
pendicular always fell.
The severe black of his garb stamped
him man in professional life, the firm set
of his jaw and the commanding glance of
his eye showed him to be one accustom-
ed to sway millions.
So commanding was his attitude, so
firm his demeanor, so strenuous his mien,
that neither the motOrman of the north
bound or the south bound car dared to
dispute his right to tie up the whole sur
face system
Even the police seemed to think 1t was
the proper thing for this swaying colossus
to wave his hands until Broadway looked
like deep canon with an unbroken
stream Of yellow cars flowing along the
bottom like muddy stream.
Presently the large stout man concluded
that he would board one of the cars, but
he found the iron gates Of both locked
against him.
How long the tie-up Of Broadway would
have continued no one could guess.
The motorman seemed to be paralyZed
and the police appeared to be hypnotized.
when party of young women anxious to
get back to their work after luncheon
surrounded the swaying figure and gently
pushed it into a Battery bound car amid
the cheers of the populace.
John L. Sullivan looks as fine as ever.
don't he?" was the remark of a policeman
as the procession moved on.
