crowd, Charles Williams, colored
man who, it is charged, attempted =
criminal assault upon Hazel Palmer,
the 12-year-old daughter of E. P. Pal

choice not being made till after one

Parker Creates Sensation.
A situation unprecedented in Ameri-
can political history was created il
the convention Saturday evening,
Judge Alton Brooks Parker, the NOM
inee for president, telegraphed the
convention that he believed in the
gold standard and that unless the con-
yention knew his belief and still IA
vored his candidacy he must decline
to be the standard bearer Of the party.
The convention was just ready for the
roll call on the nomination for vice
president when the telegram from
Judge Parker was received by William
r, Sheehan, a personal representative
of the nominee. The telegram was as
follows:
Judge Parker's Attitude.
ssEsopus, N Y, July 12.-Hon. Will
liam F. Sheehan, Convention Hall, st.
Louis, Mo-: I regard the gold standard
as firmly and irrevocably established
by law, and shall act accordingly If
the action of the convention to-day Is
ratified by the people. 1nasmuch as
the platform is silent upon this sub
ject, deem it necessary to make this
communication to the convention for
its consideration, as 1 should feel 1t
my duty to decline the nomination ex-
~cept upon this understanding
"ALTON B. PARKER i
The work of the convention was
paralyzed at this critical juncture,
the delegates being in a CONSERVATION
of doubt whether or not they had a
presidential nominee. A conference OF
party leaders hurredly assembled in
the rear of the hall, with hundreds o:
anxious delegates held at bay by SER
-geants-at-arms and police. In a
stormy session Senator Tillman de-
nounced Parker's action, and Senator
Hill strove to find solution. At $3.50
O'Clock, with all uncertainty, the con-
vention was adjourned until nine
O'Clock.
The Conventions Reply.
Following is the text of the telegram
sent to Judge Parker:
'The platform adopted by this con-
vention is silent on the question OF
the monetary standard because it is
not regarded by us as possible issue
in the campaign and only campaign
issues were mentioned in the plat
form. Therefore, there is nothing in
the views expressed by you in the
telegram just received which would
preclude a man entertaining them
from accepting a nomination on said
platform

They had observed, before the explo.
sion. a workman approaching the door
of one of these houses. When they
rose to their feet their first thought
was for him and they looked around
to see where he was. But although
they looked and looked, they found no
body or part of It. He was not. For
the air took him. According to the
scientific explanation, his atoms had
received a jar which had shaken them
to pieces of about the billionth OF an
inch in diameter or less.
"As would be said now, he became
a collection of antagoAistic electrons.
They found part of an empty stocking
and the heel of boot. That was oil.
1t must be remembered that there
would have been no inorganic matter
about him no metal or hard sub

processes of life had built him up. so
also they had built the material OF
his clothes. The fragments which
escaped annihilation were apparently
due to one of those electrical freaks
common IN thunderstorms."

1t Is stated that the Japanese have
100000 troops in motion and 10000
more under arms in garrisons and at
the depots. Military experts believe
that Japan will operate three armies,
each numbering about 10O 900 men. the
second army landing west Of the Yalu
and the third army southwest Of New
chwang.
The Japanese, 1t is reported, have
landed force already in Manchuria at
Takushan. to the east of Newchwang,
and consequently in the rear of the
Russians. The Russians deny, official
ly, that Japanese troops are in Man

A Remarkable Operation.

New Haven.-Christoph Osborn
of Oak street, colored man 81 years
of age, Is in Grace hospital recovering
from remarkable operation. Twenty
years ago Osborn received q knife
thrust in the head. The blade pene-
trated his skull and was broken or.
A piece was left in his skull two
inches to the right of the medical
line just back of the forehead and
well over the temple. The surgeons
attempted to extract piece OF steel,
but were unsuccessful. Osborn got
well and for 90 years has worked for
Prof. John f. Weir, dean of the Yale
art school.
A short time ago Osborn began to
suffer from commissions. He was ta-
ken to Grace hospital, where the sur
geons took out a section of the skull
with the knife blade sticking in it.
The blade had been imbedded in the
brain to the depth of an inch. The
blade had become rusted and had
caused an inflammation, resulting in
convulsions and paralysis of the left
side of the body.
AS soon as the blade was removed
the commissions ceased, and Osborn
is gradually regaining the use Of the
left side of his body. The surgeons
say that he will recover, and that
the case is one of the most remarka-
BILE on record.

of marriage, made on bended knee by
the eight, to as many young men.
The eight young men, not to be out
done in humor, accepted the girls on
the spot, and an accommodating young
man named Arthur Schmidt playfully
agreed to perform "eight" mock mar
riage services. Amid great nl1arlty tho
16 young men and women went to
their respective homes.
The joke lost its point yesterday
when the discovery was made that the
amusing Mr.. Schmidt is justice Of
the peace, fully authorized to join folks
in marriage.
Now eight young men are consulting
lawyers as to whether a good joke is to
be spoiled by their having to support
eight young women until death or the
divorce court does them part.
