methods of treatment for cancer and
leprosy with the hope Of possible cures,
or at least of some mitigation of the
sufferings of the victims But the ablest
physicians are not inclined to express
sanguine anticipations. Most of the
so-caled discoveries of remedial agents
for leprosy and cancer are as illusory
and deceptive as was the treatment of
cancer years ago with "candurango.

cloth, ribbed and fringed in white, the
democratic hosts of the nation assembled
today in convention. The big Coliseum
hall, which has been the scene of many
a notable event, never held so large a
crowd, animated by single purpose.
The weather outside was saltry, but

darkness in the hall. A few brilliant
electric globes, however, helped the
struggling daylight, aud illumined the
gay colors of the decorations.
Roof and walls we're entirely covered
with cloth and bunting. A circular me-

State and Aanked on either side by an
American flag, was placed at intervals.
