Advice to Canoeists.
From the Boston Transcript.

The best way to enjoy canoeing on a hot
July afternoon Is to moor your craft under
big willow tree and take pleasure in
watching the sport Of seeing the other ca
noeists work. The light breeze penetrates
among the branches. The mosquitoes are
not so numerous but that liberal use of
the right brand of tobacco will drive them
away. The stories in the ten-cent maya
zines at your feet are SO silly that, read or
unread, they cause not the slightest mental
excitation. The landscape is rather more
stimulating-the hollows on the opposing
hills filed with violet shadows. out of which
cool green half-tones struggle to emerge;
the sky filed with the pale buff and laven-
der clouds of the hot summer time; the sails
of distant craft. cool against the line Of
trees on the farther shore. The nearer one 8
head drops to the level of the water the
more charming the prospect, until presently
there is no prospect but that of the swaying
willow branches above, and even that tends.
such is the sedative effect Of the light rock
ing of the canoe. to complete effacement.

Woodson for Secretary.
INSIST UPON GoRMAN.
Eastern Democrats Making Strong Eff
fort to Dissuade Him.

A dispatch from New York last night
SAYS: A very determined effort was maze
tonight to make Senator German chair
man of the democratic national committee.
After several conferences among democrat
ic leaders former Senator Jones ana VIII
liam F. Sheehan called on Senator German
at his room and urged him to RECONSIDER
his determination not to accept the chalr-
manship The Maryland senator remained
firm. and suggested that Mr.. Sheehan take
the place If it was necessary to have an
eastern man for the position.
Mr. Sheehan stated to Mr.. German ana
others to whom the suggestion was com
municated that 1t was impossible Tor MN
to take the place He pointed out that
he was the one man who resigned from
the executive committee in 1896 because
he could not support the platform ana
candidate that year
Several of the leaders agreed with MIN
on that point, but the effort has not been
abandoned to bring about an arrangement
which will Mace the management of the
campaign in the hands of Senator German
OF Mr.. Sheehan.
While no definite conclusion was reached,
hope is entertained by those who do not
want Mr. Taggart for chairman that some
results will be accomplished tomorrow
morning, when a number OF New YORK
business men will call on Mr.. German ana
state reasons why they want him instead
The impression prevails among the
strongest supporters of Mr.. Taggart that
notwithstanding the efforts made toolgns
he will be elected
Candidates for Other Places.
There has been considerable talk about
the selection of the secretary, the canol-
dates being c. A. Walsh of Iowa. the
former secretary; Urey Woodson or Ken
lucky and Edwin Seton of the District OF
Columbia Walsh and Woodson are mem
bers of the committee, and 1t has been tne
practice to chose a member of the commit
tee for the secretaryship. Just before the
convention adjourned a resolution was
adopted authorizing the committee in lts
discretion to elect some one outside OF lts
membership as secretary.
Seton for many years served as clerk ioi
Senator Jones while the senator was chaiI
man of the committee. Members OF the
committee tonight expressed the OPINION
that Woodson will be chosen. Mr.. Walsh Is
not here, and is represented by w. A De-
ford, who has his proxy Mr.. Deford say
that Mr.. Walsh is not candidate in tne
members of the committee, but that MS
friends say that it would be good politics
to elect him because of his close friendship
with Mr.. Bryan. Other members or tht
committee say that the secretary shoulo
be one who has been and is in harmony
with the men who nominated Parker.
For sergeant-at-arms several candidates
have appeared, and they have been can
vassing the members of the committee as
they arrive. Col. John l. Martin of Mis-
souri,, the former sergeant-at- arms; Samue
Donnelson of Tennessee, William Watson
and James oliver of New York are among
those prominently mentioned for the place

stranger should be reminded of the noble
genius who planned the exquisite city
In this connection 1t might be well, as an
example, to call attention to what one city
has done to perpetuate the memory Of an
engineer who had performed services Of no.
table character. No visitor to Havana since
1887 has failed to admire the beautiful mar
BILE statue of Gen. Don Francisco Albear y
Lara, the Cuban engineer. to whose efforts
that city is indebted for its splendid system
of waterworks. 1t should also be noted
that the monument is given great promi-
nence by it's location at the intersection of
important thoroughfares.
Something of the same nature would be
quite suitable for L'Enfant, though, con-
sidering the rigors of our climate. the pedes-
tai should be of granite and the statue of
bronze. The remains should be inferred be-
meath the monument, while a neat inscrip-
ton at the rear could inconspicuously state
that the relics were deposited there. A
body which has been SO long buried can
offer no objections from sanitary point Of
view. especially when incased in q metal
casket embedded In cement.

How Fast Do Birds FlyP

William w. Murphy, a locomotive engi-

tween Hannibal and St. Joseph. has been
making observations on the speed Of va
rious birds and insects. Many birds, he
says, make a practice of flying beside or In
front of his engine. and when the oeather
is clear and there is no wind he opens the
throttle and races with them.
He finds that a chicken hawk and crow
can make twenty-five miles an hour. A tur-
key buzzard flies at the rate of twenty-one
miles an hour. The pigeon is one OF the
fastest birds in the United States. 1t makes
a speed Of forty-six miles an hour with

COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
SLATE ARRANGED IN NEW YORK
By DEMOCRATS YESTERDAY.
Taggart for Head and Sheehan ia
Manage Executive Committee Az
fairs-Woodson for Secretary.

A dispatch from New York last night
says:
These are the officers who will be elected
by the new national democratic committee
at noon tomorrow to run the campaign OF
1904:
Chairman-Thomas Taggart.
Chairman Executive Committee-William
F. sheehan.
Treasurer-August Belmont.
Secretary-Urey Woodson.
Sergeant-at-A rms-Sam Donelson or John
I. Martin.
1t is the slate threshed out in the lobby
of the Hoffman House today by the
united efforts of the largest number OF
members that ever attended meeting OF
the national committee. Barely more than
a half dozen out of the fifty-two were alb
sent Some of them Travelled 5000 miles to
get here The wide-hatted westerners were
especially in evidence, and Senator FREQ l.
Dubois of Idaho, as he looked them over
said:
West Likes Nominations.
'.rhey have been asking how the west
likes the nominations. The answer is-here
we are"
The most important work done by the
gathering of leaders today was the agree
ment to name William F. Sheehan as chair
man of the executive committee. The
Significance of this lies in Mr.. Sheehan q
closeness to Judge Parker, and the fact tina,
he is to be given nine of the ablest political
strategists in the party to serve win MN
on the committee. Senator Arthur r. cor
man, James H. Eckels of Illinois and Gen
eral Patrick A. Collins of Boston are to be
on the committee, and they, with Mr.. Shee-
han, will have supervisory charge OF the
campaign.
Belmont for Treasurer.
The election of August Belmont as
treasurer of the committee was looked upon
as settled tonight, through Mr.. Belmont
was about the hotel during the day pro-
testing that he did not wish to serve He
talked with David B. Hill, Mr.. Sheehan,
Thomas Taggart and other leaders, and
they told him that he was best ttted TOT
the position of any democrat In slght anu
must take 1t. He did not consent, out ~
was the understanding among the leauei
that he would be elected any way ano
would not refuse it. Col. James M. Guney

taryship. The other two candidates are
Charles A. Walsh Of Iowa, the present Sec
retary, and Edwin Seton of Washington
D. c. Seton is wanted by some of the
committeeman because he has been con-
nected with Chairman Jones for several
years, and is thoroughly familiar with the
routine of the position. Walsh is uFgeo

half being that it would be good politics to
