principal business before the conVen-
ton was the nomination of county

friction, as nobody was disposed to
quarrel over the honors to be handed

imously given the nomination for the
House of Delegates, but he declined.

Secretary.

The Republicans of Martinsburg are
making a mistake in calling primaries
10 nominate two candidates for school
commissioner. The schools have been
getting on well without politics and
VIII, not let them continue SO? Why
not get together on this matter and Sc
lect two good men, one from each party
and not bring partisan politics into the
schools? The man who injects polite s
into the schools is no friend to the
schools, TO the taxpayer or to the
children.

the contracting business, died last night after a
brief illness az his country home, at Nyack, n. Y.
He had been sufferer for several years from an
affection OF the throat.
Born in ireland, he only year old when
his parents brought him to this country. He was
brought up in the district OF which he later be-
came the leader. With no financial backing, but
with plenty OF strength and patience, young Pat
Keahon as he was Familiarity known. drove truck
and at the same time kept watchful eye on the
political field. Slowly but surely he gained foot
ing in the district. Pat Keahon knew men, and
it was not long before he was reckoned one

His first public recognition !n the Tammany fold
was in 1892, when he elected an alderman.
Eight years later. after hard fight, he defeated

Mr.. Vanderbilt had at first intended to have
the opening late in the month. but owing to the
fact that the horse shows in various parts Of

he had decided on the 14th. in order that he
might get his horses to Syracuse in time for the

intention to have the opening a Saturday
night, which would allow him TO ship his show
horses the following morning to Syracuse.
Although the invitations for the opening have
been sent out. it is likely, although no announce
