THE DEMOCRATS RATIFIED
Attorney A p Johnson, Judge u NJ Sulli.
van, J r Dean and EN.Goy s A llOl.
comb Speakers at the Meeting

The democratic ratification
meeting advertised for last Sat-
urday night failed to materialize,
owing no doubt to the light
sprinkle Of rain which fell be-
tween the hours of six and seven
and the lack of enthusiasm of the
rank and file Of our democratic
brethern. The band discoursed
music for half an hour, but its
sweet strains could not euthusc
the faithful so the leaders called
the meeting off until Tuesday
night. On the second trial the
leaders employed the services of
powder and anvil in addition to
the band to help enthuse but to
no avail. After several booms
from the anvil and four or five
selections by the band the parade
was formed and the line of march
taken up. The band and about
dozen were all that could be in
duced to join the procession. Ar
irving at the court house at
about nine o'clock, the meeting
was called to order by Ross Moore,
president of the Bryan Club, who
introduced A. p. Johnson, for
mer county attorney as the first
speaker. Mr.. Johnson said he
is for Bryan but that would per-
haps be the only democrat he
would vote for this fall. He was
followed by ]. X. Dean, who
could not say enough in praise of
President Roosevelt aud finished
his talk by advising everyone to
vote for Bryan. Judge H. M.
Sullivan was next introduced and
for several minutes told his hear
ers the differences between the
party platforms and what would
happen if Bryan was fortunate
enough to be elected. Ex-Gov. S.
A. Holcomb was the next speak
er, who for nearly three-quarters
of an hour entertained the aud
fence in pleasant "reminiscences
and finished his speech by advis-
ing everyone to vote for Bryan.
One could not help but notice
that every speaker was lavish in
his praise of Roosevelt and his
administration which was graft
flying to the Republicans present
for the reason that Hon. Vim. II.
Taft, nominee for president on
the Republican ticket was the
presidents advisor in all matters
pertaining to the nations we'll
fare, and that Roosevelt invar-
iably followed his wise counsel.
Taken as a whole the ratification
was not decided success in
point of numbers, there being
about fifty present, or enthusiasm.

YOUNG MEN, STUDY POLITICS
II is Duty You Owe TO Your Country
SYour Party and Yourself, Join The
Young Mems Taft Clubs at Once

Now that both the great poll
cal parties have their standard
bearers in the field for President
aud Vice-President, those young
men who have not made study
of the platform on which each
candidate stands should do so at
once. We say young men, be-
cause they are the ones who
should take up the brunt of the
battle and Tighten the load of
their fathers who are growing
old. The old men need not be
told to study for they are close
readers. But, the young men do
need urging along this line.
They should read both platforms
as soon as possible and make
their choice as to which one they
will support in the coming cam
paign. In doing this, if doubts
arise as to which party they
should affiliate with, a careful
study OF the past history of poll
tics In the United States should
remove all clouds and land them
where they belong. Too many
young men, who cast their first
vote, do so without any study.
They vote the same ticket father
did, and if asked why they coul d
not tell. Young men, study.
If you will do this, and decide for
yourselves, your first vote will be
for the party that has made these
United States what they are to-
day. The party that stands for
progress and has made it possible
for every man who has a desire
to work TO obtain employment.
The Republican party has always
made good its promises. AS to
the democratic party we refer
you to its past record.

Tile Big BROWN TENT AND EASY SEATS
HAVE ARRIVED.
CANVAS AROUND GROUNDS.

Plenty Of Water and Shade.
Better Than Last Year.

The committee that has the
Chautauqua in hand for this city
has completed its arrangements
and will have everything in ship
shape for the first attraction
which will be given Saturday
night of this week. Nothing
has been left uudone which will
add to the comfort and enjoyment
of the large number of visitors
who will be present during the
following week. The large
brown Chautauqua tent with a
seating capacity for two thous-
and people, has arrived and will
be erected on the south side
school grounds which are high
and dry with plenty of shade and
water. Seats will be more COM
Portable than last year. In fact
the grounds, the Accommodations
and everything connected with
the nine days entertainment will
eclipse all former attractions.
On this page will be found
the program in full with the ex-
ception that that there will be
three more attractions, of which
Judge Alden is one, than has
been advertised. Judge Alden
has the reputation of being one
of the best platform orators in
the United States. We feel safe
in saying that you will be more
than pleased with the Chautau-
qua this season and urge our
readers not to miss any of the at
fractions as either Que of them is
we'll worth the price charged for
the entire season.
Daily programs will be found
at the furniture store of Van Cott
q Rocker, who have the latest
novelty in show window dis
play, and which for an attraction
will pay all to see. 1t is run by
spring motor power and is con-
stantly moving. In the little
cars, which are baby Jumpers, is
the list of the attractions for the
Chautauqua and during which
will be found the daily programe.
1t is an intricate piece of mech
anism and aptly displays the
inventive genius of its builders.
Remember that the nine days
entertainment starts Saturday
night of this week.

PENSIONS FOR OLD EMPLOYEES.
Grand Trunk Railway System Has
inaugurated Good Scheme.

On the first of January, 1908, the
Grand Trunk Railway system put
new pension scheme in effect. At
recent meeting of the directors in
London Mr.. Charles M. Hays, second
vice-president and general manager,
who is also president of the Grand
Trunk Pacific railway, was able to
persuade the management that 1t
would be in the interest of the owners
of this property to pension employees
who by old age and in other ways
were incapacitated. The sum of $780,
900 was set aside as a nucleus of the
pension fund, and it is proposed to add
to this fund SIS, 900 annually. By this
scheme the employees are not asked to
contribute anything to the fund, but
all will participate in this benefit from
the highest to the lowest. Under the
terms of the pension every employe
must retire at the age of 65 years. II
an employe serves Is years or more
he is entitled to an annuity of one
per cent. of the average annual salary
paid for ten continuous years. Thus,
If man has served, say 30 years, re-
ceiving $1,000 per year for any ten
years, he would be entitled to one
per cent. of $1,000 multiplied by 80,
making a pension of $500 per annum.
Further provision makes a minimum
allowance of 5000 irrespective of the
rate of pay OF service. The fund will
be administered by a board chosen
from the employees of the railway. 1t
is expected that this will serve as an
inducement to train and engine
men to seek service with this rapidly
growing system.

DOG SELLS PENCILS
MIRA is FAITHFUL ASSISTANT
OF HOBOKEN MERCHANT.
Basket Containing Wares Fastened
Around Neck-Canine Taught to
Sit for Hours Holding
Pipe in Mouth.

New York.-Over on River street,
HOboken, close by the ornamental
gateway that marks the entrance to
the Hamburg-American piers, there
sits all day long an old man who
exc out living by the sale of pen
ellis. He has for an assistant a vel
low dog of many breeds, who is as
fat and comfortable looking as his
master. To judge by their appear
ance there are few trades in the
world SO conducive to comfort as that
of selling lead pencils on a sunny
street, with the world of commerce
flowing by one all day long.
The old man has been selling pen
ellis in the same spot for the last six
years, and in that time he has had
two dogs as assistants. The old one,
which died more than. year ago,
never was much of a help. AL he
could do was to sit up with a little
basket tied around his neck and blink
in an unconcerned way at persons
who stopped to buy the wares his
master had to sell. He wasn't So
ciable and he didn't have the true
commercial instinct. In fact, he
never took the slightest interest in
building up trade, nor could he be
taught to do any tricks to stimulate
business. But when he died and three
little girls who live in West Hoboken
presented the old sidewalk merchant
with the present animal, then there
was doggie Of parts, even If she was
only three months old when the ped
der set her up as his assistant and
sign board.
That Mira is not dog of high de-
gree is apparent at glance. She
has the yellow coat of a mongrel and
a mixture of breeds is to be noted in
her head and face that suggest a fox
terrier for wisdom and a more phleg-
matte sort of dog from her placidity.
If dogs had any say as to just what
they should work at they probably
would like to have job like Mirza's,
for she has a box all to herself set
up alongside of her masters, with a
little pen on top of it that keeps
all the draughts off her legs. More
than this, she wears a fine coat of
dark green cloth, all braided round,
and a separate garment" for her
legs that suggests the sort of
trousers Balzac used to have made,

OVER FLORIDA KEYS
MORE ABOUT WONDERFUL EN-
CHEERING WORK.
Railroad, In Conjunction with Panama
Canal, Is Expected to Make
Key West One Of Worlds
Great Harbors.

BY using the Florida keys as STEP
ping stones a railroad is being built
over the open sea from the mainland
half way to sCr5s. me railroad goes
&c cca from point below Miami on
the east shore and after crossing IS
miles of open water by bridge or via
duct and traversing AZ islands or keys
terminates at Key West.
1t will soon be possible to enjoy the
speed and luxury of modern railroad
travel practically out of sight of land.
A great harbor is to be built at Key
West, where trains may be run direct
ly upon great floats which will carry
them to Havana in unbroken pack
ages. This direct connection with the
mainland, with it's saving of 18 hours
time in transportation, it is believed
will make Key West, with the opening
of the Panama canal, one of the great
est seaports of the country.
Engineers of the new road from the
first have been confronted by new and
battling problems. Much of the road
being far out at sea, will be exposed
to all the storms to which these trop-

ical waters are subject A wide swath
must be cut through many of the ISL
ands, while others must be laborious-
ly built up from below the sea level.
Much Of the land crossed consists of
almost impenetrable swamp. Although
a single-track road, the cost of con-
struction will probably exceed $780,
900 mile, or about SIS, 1000, 900 for $50
miles Of construction. The idea of this
ocean railroad originated with Henry
M. Flagler, who will spare no expense
in making 1t a success.
One Of the most interesting parts of
the work to the lay mind Is the pre-
cautions taken to safeguard the ex-
posed viaducts against the sea. The
viaducts will be built of reinforced
concrete, resting either on deep piling
or solid rock. 1t has been found after
careful examination that the maxi
mum height of waves throughout
these waters is 25 feet. The railroad
will be kept at level of more than 30
feet above high water. The highest
waves known to this coast, therefore,
could not break over the top of the
viaduct. The engineers count upon
comparatively smooth water because
of the coral reefs which parallel the
track practically throughout the entire
distance. This natural barrier, al
though in many places below the level
Of the water, forms a breakwater
which turns back the toughest seas.

Future Of Persia.

At a recent meeting of the Royal
Asiatic society in London Sir H. Nor
timer Durand read a paper on "Nadir
SHAH" The ancient monarchy of
Persia was, he said. among the nations
which seemed to be waking up to a
new life. The remarkable movement
which had recently swept over the
land had shaken the established order
of things to its foundations. AS in
Russia, only a few years ago the
Persians in general regarded the mon
arch as their God-given ruler. Now
the position was very different. There
had been a sudden upheaval and the
autocratic power of the monarch had
been ovefthrown with extraordinary
uddenness.-London Standard.
