tails and figures Mr.. Root pronounced with
out reference to memorandum
He turned his attention to the administra-
tions regulation of trusts and when he
said: But no honest industry has been sup
pressed, there was round of approving
applause. The declaration that those cor
poratfons which encroached OH the rights of
the public had been curtailed TO an extent
never before reached, also pleased the con-
vention.
Mr.. Root threw back the lapels of his
coat. He paced back AID forth In brief
space on the platform and enforced his
words with quiet gestures, in which his in
eek finger played an important part.
Taft's Name Applauded.
Discussing the Cuban question. Mr.. Root
read the dispatch from President Palma to
President Roosevelt, when the island was
turned over. 1t was the first time he had
mentioned the Presidents name, and the
convention grasped the opportunity to ap-
p!aud Shortly afterwa-d he brought In
the name of Secretary Taft, which was also
heartily applauded.
The administrators Panama canal policy
received a round of applause when Mr.
Root declared that 1.-The weakings would
have postponed its construction to another
generation"
Mr. Roots declaration that the building
Of the Panama canal would have been de-
layed for another generation but for the
insistence of President Roosevelt provoked
great cheering.
The Connecticut delegation was provided
with large silk American flags, which they
waved on every provocation. forming
bright patch of color in the sea of black
coated delegates.
Mr.. Roots challenge of Judgment upon
the record of these republican administra-
tons" was the signal for a shout and APP
plause. Reverential silence prevailed as
the speaker alluded briefly to the assassina-
ton of President Mckinley, and again APP

viewed.

CONVENTION GOSSIP.
Movement to Nominate the Ticket by
Unanimous Action.

CHICAGO, June 21.-In the hours between
breakfast and the start for the hall there
was a rather general interchange of ideas
am ong the leaders. The only important re-
suit of these informal conferences was the
unanimous action to eliminate the "favorite
SON. complimentary vote which several
delegations expect to give candidates 1t
is recalled that similar action was taken at
Philadelphia four years ago, and the argu-
ment is made that, the convention is to
be ratification meeting anyway, both
candidates should be unanimously named
Very few of the men who will be presented
expect to receive any votes outside of their
own delegations, and 1t Is pointed out that
no great compliment is extended in a vote
of this kind for second place on the ma
tional ticket
The Credentials Committee.
Present Indications are that the creden-
tials committee of the convention will be
the one place where the placid assurance
and even monotonous feeling of party Sc
curtty and consequent lethargy will be
broken. A funnel-shaped cloud is gathering
over the heads of this committee and the
storm of political pique, sectional strife and
party pickering is scheduled to break the
minute the committee assemblies. Individ-
ual members of this committee, as they
have been chosen by their state delegations
have literally been besieged and made to
listen to various tales of grief. Just what
will be the aggregated result of the vigor-
GUS wire-pulling which progressed yester-
day, all night and was renewed with vigor
today cannot be predicted.

old Gloves.

The man who had Just purchased a
pair of gloves threw his old ones upon
the counter and asked the salesman
to have them thrown away. The sales
man folded them together carefully
and placed them in drawer.

two or three men matching coins for
them.' he said. The customer turned
back in wonderment and asked the
man what he meant.
Il mean that know six or eight
men who want those gloves. not poor
men either, but the elevator men in

elevators, and every time l get into

Concerning prowninr.

It was stated recently by gentle
man well known in the world OF nata-
tion that accidents to swimmers are
seldom due to cramp. but to apoplexy
resulting from sudden cooling. The
sinking three times Is a curious error,
as some persons swallow water and
strangle on first immersion. sinking
but once. while others may sink and
rise fifty times. A man who has saw
ed sixty-five lives has found that the
drowning person cannot be stunned by
blow in the face. but that he can be
handled by pressing the thumb under
the ears and ducking his head until
manageable, this being done from be-
hind. The loss of presence of mind
constitutes the greatest danger while
persons are In the water.
