Trained Pig at The Hippodrome.

The first trained pig ever exhibit
ed anywhere in the world was shown
at the New York Hippodrome last
week, when Clyde Powers, the pro-
fessional trainer of geese, introduced
a fine, fat pig, named Phoebe, and
put her through various stunts to the
delight of the children in the aud
fence and to the amusement of their
elders. Phoebe has been in rehear-
sal for nearly a year, but Mr.. Powers
has been unable to make her do any
hing except squeal and grunt. He
has tried to break her to harness,
and, after many efforts, has at last
succeeded in making her understand
what is required. Mr.. Powers har-
messed Phoebe to a small express
wagon, and then mounting the seat
drove her completely around the cir
Gus ring at the Hippodrome, made
her stop and go forward at command,
and perform a number of evolutions,
which showed that the pig had some
intelligence and realized what was
expected of it. Mr.. Powers says this
is the first time a pig has yer been
trained successfully for stage exhibit
ton, and it is the first time a pig
has ever beer driven in harness any
where.

JOSIAH FLYNT's EARLY LIFE

One of the startling literary feat
features of the month is the first in
stallment of the autobiography of
Josiah Flynt, which begins in Sue
cess Magazine" for December. 1t is
the frank, outspoken life story of one
of the most interesting characters
in American literature. Flynt is the
man who has tramped through the
Middle West, begged at kitchen doors.
and has dined with such men as To.-
stoi. This little phase of his life
taken from his boyhood recolections
shows how unadorned his story is:
/ doubt whether my father ever
liked me as he liked the tire other
children. There was something in
my weakened face and diminutive
form that seemed to e him. My
mother made the mistake of leaving
the punishment of us children for
my father to attend to when he re-
turned from the city at night, tired
out, often cross, and his judgment by
no means well in hand. My father
had two forms of punishment for
me; he would point n finger stern
ly at the sofa in the sitting-room,
which meant that | must crawl I'M
der the sofa and await his pleasure,
and point another finger significantly
at the cellar door, which indicated
/ thatI was to go below into the dark
ness and shiver with fear until he
came down to whip me That was
the way | learned to be afraid in the
dark-a sorrow to me all through my
youth; even now. at times, the old
fear comes family back on occasions
when | am nervous or overwrought
I am afraid l learned to hate him
also learned 10 deceive and pilfef.

committee on contested seats of the democratic state convention found it. self divided 26 to II, regarding the 21 contests involving seats in the con vention. The majority report was re- garded as a Hearst victory. The fifteen Murphy contestants in the five New York county contests were given the place of the McCarren delegation
 The Hearst men in Queens county were given seats, and the Hearst con- testants from up state also found fa-
 vor in the eyes of a majority of the committee. The minority report was presented by John B. StanchfieId, who said he was opposed to Hearst, but de clared that if Hearst had come to the convention untrammeled by any ties. such as the Independence League he would have been the nominee of the democrats without a dissenting voice.

 MT. StanchfeId advocated the nomi-
 nation of Representative William Sul-
 ger for governor and the mention of the
 name provoked a considerable volume Of applause. Senator Thomas F. Grady presented the majority report, indulg-
 ing in a general defense of Tammany
 He closed with an appeal for the nomi- nation of William R. Hearst, and there
 was great cheering. Senator Grady
 was loudly applauded when he said, in closing: ''I love my country. I love her institutions. l desire to see the one
 survive and overcome every danger and the others established upon so firm
 foundation that they may ever re-
 main with the people.
 And I believe that the continuance the perpetuatiOn, and the triumphant

 | On the question of substituting the minority report for that of the major ! ity, a roll call was demanded by | StanchfeId. This vote was regarded as a test of the Hearst strength.

EASILY DONE.
The Nomination of Hughes as the Re.
 publican Candidate.

Saratoga, Sept. 26.-Expedition marked the second and final day of the republican state convention. From early this morning, when it became known that Charles F. Hughes would be nominated for governor by acclama- tion the proceedings became formal and were pushed to completion with the utmost speed.
 The selection of the remainder of the ticket and the choice of a new state chairman were accomplished before the conclusion. and it only remained for the convention to ratify all that had been arranged and to adjourn. The session of the convention lasted about two hours, and in that time the permanent organization was effected. The chair man. State Senator W. W. Armstrong of Rochester. delivered his speech. the credentials committee reported and it's report was agreed to, the platform was read and adjusted, and a complete state ticket was nominated.
 The events leading up to the nOmina- tions were interesting and involved nu- merous conferences throughout the day The opposition to Hughes found it inn possible, or at least inadvisable, to nominate Bruce for governor, and be- gan seeking elsewhere for a candi6Ete to defeat the old-time leaders, and vic tory for the new and almost unknown leaders followed swiftly.

NEW YORK DEMOCRACY
 SURRENDERS TO HEARST
His Nomination for Governor by an Over-
 wheIming Majority
The Platform Treats Bryan Kindly, Declares Against Socialism and FavOrs Municipal Ownership Within Reason and Condemns Protection.

Buffalo. Sept. 27.-At a session which began last night and continued until 2:2O this morning, the democrati, state convention nominated a statc ticket with Hearst at the head of it. MT. Hearst already was in the field as the nominee Of the Independence League. which he was instrumental in organizing. The democrats also took from the dependence League ticket Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler of Duchess county for lieutenant- governor and John $. Whalen of Monroe for secre- tary of state. The other nominees have no place in the Independence League ticket. MT. Hearst was nom mated with 309 votes. only 226 being necessary for a choice. Congressman William Sulzer received for governor 124 votes, and John A. Dix of Wash ingtCn county, received the compli- mentary vote of Y delegates. making 450 in all
 The nomination of MT. Hearst was made in the fact of the bitterest oppo- sition ever waged in a democratic con- Vention in this state. The minority which cast it's ballots for Mir Sulzer, had known for several days that it was beaten. This fact was made sure in the last session when test vote on the majority report of the committee on contested seats showed the Hearst supporters to be in absolute control
 Under the guise of advocating the candidacy of MT. Sulzer d number of MT. Hearst's party opponents took the stand and amid storms of cheering and hissing denounced and arraigned the man they knew was to be the party 5 candidate in the most remarkable se- ries of speeches ever hurled at a man to be named for the highest office at the gift of the convention.
 The advocates of Mr. Hearst an swered these attacks. the most effec- tive of the utterances being uttered in his behalf by Congressman BOUrke Cochran of New York, who declared that MT. Hearst was not his personal choice. the demand that he be nomin- ated having come from every section of the state and was not be be denied.

COFFEE WAS TT People Slowly Learn the Facts.

"AlI my life I have been such a slave to coffee that the very aroma of it was enough to set my nerves quivering.
 I kept gradually losing my health but I used to say 'nOnsense' it don't hurt me. Slowly I was forced to admit the truth and the final result was that my whole nervous force was shattered
 My heart became weak and uncer- tain in it's action and that frightened me Finally my physician told me, about a year ago, that I must stop drinking coffee or I could never ex- pect to be well again.
 "I was in despair for the very thought of the medicines I had tried so many times nauseated me. Of course I thought of Postum but could hardly bring myself to give up the cof- fee. Finally I concluded that I owed it to myself to give Postum a trial. So I got a package and carefully fol- lowed the directions, and what de- licious. nourishing, rich drink it was. Do you know I found it very easy to shift from the coffee to Postum and not mind the change at all. Almost immediately after I made the change found myself better and as the days went by l kept on improving. My nerves grew sound and steady. [ slept well and felt strong and well bal anced all the time. Now I am com pleteIy cured, with the old nervous ness and sickness all gone. Tn every way am well once more" Name giv- en by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich
 It pays to give up the drink that acts on some like a poison. for health is the greatest fortune one can have.

LAID OVER
 AT CHICAGO Then SteRSIand Went On
 to Joliet
Former Banker Already
 Serving Sentence Which
 Cannot Exceed Ten Years.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-PauI O. Stems land, to whose self confessed embez- element of s4OO.OOO was due chiefly the collapse of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, was given an indetermin- ate sentence in the penitentiary within three hours after his arrival in Chi cagO today from the east and before another three hours had elapsed the convicted bank president had begun the service of the sentence at Joliet
 Stensland pleaded guilty on two in dictments, one charging embezzlement and the other charging the breaking of the state banking laws. A fine of S120 was imposed on the latter charge which was based upon the acceptance Of s60 on deposit after the bank was insolvent. The sentences imposed which will operate concurrently, are from one to five years and one to ten years. making the longest term he wilt be compelled to serve not more than 10 years.
 Stensland's arrival in Chicago was greeted by q crowd of several hundred who awaited the coming of the Twen- tieth Century limited an which the prisoner and the officers were passen- gers. The crowd was demonstrative, although offering no violence and the effect on Stensland was noticeable He was nervous and seemingly apprehen- siVc of bodily harm. States Attorney 1 Healy was waiting in his private offics for the arrival of Stensland and inc prisoner was hurried haggard and trembling between a double line of po- lice into MT. Healy's presence.
 A conference lasting over one hour onsued between Stensland and HeaIy and several attaches of the office What Stensland made known to the att0r- neys was not disclosed. After the con- l ference MT. Healy said ''StensIand made a full confession of everything connected with the affairs of the bank He has told us of his own acts and Of the acts of others. What he has re- vealed makes the bank affair less darE for himself"
 The court proceedings which follow ed immediately were conducted hur- riedly Stensland was unaccompanied by friends or attorney during the en- tire procedure.

The Government Agrees to Open NegOtia-
 lions With the Insurgents
Secretary Taft, Who With MT. to be Referee Is Hopeful That Armed Intervention May be Avoided.

Havana, Sept. 26.-The government party tonight abandoned its basic con tention that it is impossible to treat for peace with armed rebels. and proposed to negotiate directly with a committee of it's opponents. It agreed to leave all points upon which an understanding is not reached to the final arbitration of Secretaries Taft and Bacon. The gov ernment first suggested that it would treat with the liberals if they would lay down their arms, but the American commissioners ruled that was unfair and the moderate representatives ac- cepted this view
 While this phase of the controversy was wholly unexpected Secretary Taft was greatly pleased herewith and made the following statement for pub licatiOn My impression is that we are much nearer a solution of the trouble tonight than we were last night"
 It was announced also that the ne- gOtiations to be opened between the committees representing the opposing parties would be without reference to the terms previously proposed. The time and place of the first meeting are !. to be determined by Secretary Taft to- morrow.
 It is beyond question that both par ties were brought to a more tractable frame of mind by the verbal ultimat- um issued by Messrs. Taft and Bacon today in the name Of President Roose- welt. that unless they consent to d fair settlement the United States must compel the same by a temporary mili- tary occupation. Such an occupation. 1 it was declared, would not mean American sovereignty. It would con tfnue only until new elections had been
 held and the ew governmet firmly es- tablished ad order restored. Within an hour of the receipt of this ultimatum the moderate assembly i agreed at the end of a stormy session, ' to the suggestion of treating with the | liberals.
 1 The conservative mOderates threat I ened the disruption of the party un- 1 less the radicals consented to treat with the American commission, and i this also is believed to have had al 1 important bearing upon the moderate
 decision. It is understood tonight tba: | President Palma does not intend to

in the enjoyment of all property. how ever extensive, produced by his own labor.
 We therefore denounce republican high protection, which enables a few to plunder the whole body of their fel low citizens by charging high prices for the necessaries of life and the products of industry.
 We deplore as the most sinister con- sequence of the corruption and graft which degrade our political and indus trial life, and the widespread distrust and discredit of the republican rule which they have produced and which have led many men of undoubted pa triotism to listen patiently. if not ap- provingly. to the proposals of the so- cialists, which, if adopted, must inev- itably wreck the foundation of repub- lican government and endanger the en- tire fabric of Christian civilization.
 ''We hold that the cure for the abuses is not in socialism, which by enormously extending the power of the government must aggravate them, but in democracy, which by excluding gov ernment from any interference what ever with private industry, must cure them.
 Every proposal that a municipality assume operation of all public utilities and reduce rates to persons using them regardless of what the service may ac- tually cost, is an attempt to force some men to reduce the expense of others. Where the outlay for operation ex- ceeds the earnings. the deficit must be made up by taxation, and this would be socialistic and therefore hostile to justice and subversive of democratic government
 It is the duty of the government to ascertain the actual cost of operation of all public service corporations and to fix from time to time reasonable rates for the service they perform.
 ''We denounce as a crime against morals and decency the refusal of the republican administration to permit an investigation of the different depart ments. especially the banking depart ments. If entrusted with the adminis- tration of the government we promise that there shall be an impartial inves- tigation of every public department of the state.
 We demand the passage of such 1 legislation as will deal effectively with the whole subject of life insurance and encourage this by making its future absolutely secure. We are resolved. above all. that every rogue who has aided in planning to plunder who has counived at it or shared in it's profits shall be pursued by every punitive weapon of the law wielded by honest ] fearless. loyal public prosecutors. We ask the federal government to 1 exercise its influence to bring about a 1 speedy cessation of the practices now | being carried on.
