ST. Louis, July H. Chief JUS
tice Alton B. Parker, of the New
York Court of Appeals, was nom
mated for president. by the DEM
ocratic national! convention. But
one roll call was made and so
decisive was the result of that
one that contrary states began
to call for recognition. The BAL
lot finally resulted in a unani-
nous vote for the New York
state man.
Tammany for Parker.
To the Associated Press Charles"
N. Murphy, of Tammany, said:
"No one need have any doubt
where. Tammany stands in
in this presidential canvass. 1t
is solidly behind Alton B. Par
ker for president. There is new
err any doubt where Tammany
stands when a candidate is
regularly nominated. We came
here with the belief that
Cleveland was the strongest
man to nominate and the east
est man to elect. 1t was ascer-
tanned, after consultations, that
= in this conclusion we did not
agree with the majority of the
delegates. Now that the con-
ton has spoken and has paid
the high honor to Judge Park
err, Tammany Hall will go to
work at once in New York coun-
ty and roll up for him the Iarg-
est plurality ever given to

mocracy.

Bricks are now being made of clean
sand and ground quicklime that are
said to be as substantial as granite.
They cost $3.50 a thousand. The
mixed ingredients are forced into a
strong steel cylinder mold by means
of a screw. After the air has been
sucked from the cylinder, hot water

Imitation Furs.

The skin of the muskrat or mus
ouash makes a much more durable

imitation Alaska sable coats frequent

used after a complicated treatment
in the manufacture of imitation chin

difference in the chinchilla furs.

Mcclellan, of New York Says:
"All democrats will work for the
election of Judge Parker. 1 have the
greatest admiration for him as a man
and a democrat. 1 have the fullest
confidence in his ability and his states
manship. New York has been great
ly honored by this selection of one of
its citizens by presidential candi-
date. The country will expect New

of the Importance of the principles

Chronic maladies are due to two conditions:
First, 10 poor blood and disordered circulation;

look to the blood and nerves for most of the

BY TIGHT MONEY
Contractor Looks for the Building Indus
tsy To Suffer This Season

tsy re- Suffer This season.
According 10 the opinion of Il promi-
nent contractor of the city. the build
! ing season which i about To open n
the city will not be rs prosperous as
people We're led to believe earlier in
the year. Last year at this time this
contractor had plans completed for
the erection II a large number of resi-
dences but at present he has nothing
definite in view for the summers
work
1t i not because people 10 not care
Il build that there * a dearth of con
tracts. but because they cannot Sc
cure the money. Many had made plans
for erecting residences this summer.
but when they attempted to secure
money ON what they considered good
security, the banks and others having
money refused To make loans.
Heretofore money could he secured
to the extent Cf about two-thirdS Of
the valuation cf property. but at pres
ent it is difficult To mortgage a pro-
perry on more than about onc-half its
valuation. Circumstances in former
years have made it possible for per-
sons owning good lot to erect Il
house at cost Of about twice the val
uation 'of the lot. and mortgage the
property to secure the necessary
funds. but at present a person must
own the lot and have a sufficient sum
to make a large payment on the house
beside.
The reason for this is explained
from the fact that property has in
creased in value So rapidly that if
hard times ShcIld come again the val
ne Of real estate would decline and
those who leaned money on Il two
thirds basis would have but little Sc
curity.
CAMPAIGN year there Is always
little stringency in money matters and
the uncertainty of the coming national
election may be partly responsible
for capitalists Tightening up on their
investments.
