BX-CHIBP JUSTICE
BURNAM ELECTED
COMMITTEEMAN

Chicago. June lS.--After a dead
lock lasting through the night and
for while this morning, the Ken
lucky delegation today selected Judge
A. X. Burnam, of Richmond as ma
tional committeeman. The fight be
tween Fisher and Ernst has been
spectacular. Three ballots were taken
last night. the result being tie each
time and today brought no solution
until Judge Burnam was sprung as
a compromise candidate. Fisher has
made a game fight and deserves
credit for 1t. Ernst claimed the back
ing of Taft. but Fisher had Hitch
cocks endorsement, and when the
matter was put up to Taft Monday
he announced that the matter was
with the Kentucky delegation, which
implied that the statement sent out
that he was for Ernst was unauthor-
lied
Burnam's brother-in-law. who sup
ported Fisher throughout, changed
his vote before the vote was an
nounced. Fisher was elected before
the delegate changed. Burnam is ex-
chief justice of the court of appeals.

COMMON LOT OF ALL MANKIND.
Vine 10 There Among Us Who Can
Escape from Worry

Calmness and serenity are recon-
mended for almost everything in these
days. Horace Fletcher considers
these qualities ven more important
than chewing, in the attainment of
health. The beauty doctors say that
no cosmetics will avail to prevent
wrinkles and preserve youth without
calmness and serenity. and they are
said to be the most potent of all
charms in her who would be pleasing
to the opposite sex. BE serene,
sweet maid" says the authorities;
let who will be vivacious."
II all sounds very simple, but in
order to follow such advice 1t would
be necessary to be a hermit, and then
what would be the use of being well
or beautiful or attractive? How can
anyone be serene who plays golf, or
has cantankerous relatives, who wants
TO argue about suffrage or re-
liglon, or who has not a sure and Ger.
tain and adequate income? Man that
is born of woman is born to worry, as
the sparks fly upward, and it is only
adding irritation to his other woe
to tell him that all good things may
be his If he will only be serene.

Chinese Emperor and Empress
Dead

The Chinese emperor and dow
ager empress both died last week.
The emperor had been i'll for a
long time, and during recent au-
diences with foreign representa-
tives he was unable to sit upon
the throne or even in an erect po-
sition. 1t was evident for a long
time that he would be unable to
withstand a crisis which sooner
or later must develop in the di-
sease from which he was suffer
ing. Recent climatic extreme:
caused fatal complications.
At the smoment OF the death OF
the emperor the dowager EN-
press own death chamber chair
was waiting in the court yard.
She, too had been in a serious con
dltion and word that was
brought to her earlier in the day
that the emperor was dying caus
ed her to collapse. This has
prevented her from assuming the
relationship OF grandmother to
the successor to the throne
which, according to the Chinese
system, would enormously aug
ment her authority.
The infant emperor, Pu vi. was
formally enthroned Saturday and
assumed the official title oil
Hsuen Tung. The fight for con
troll is still going on in the imper.
lal family. Prince Chun, the re.
gent, seems still to have the whip

BANKS, TREASURES IN HOTEL.
When Moneyed Men Of Maine Feared
for Their Gold.

For two years, from 1912 to 1914,
the treasure of all the banks Of the
Forest City lay in the parlor Of the
Marrett house in Standish village. and
as evidence OF the fact to-day upon the
parlor door can be seer the huge lock
which was placed there nearly a cen
fury ago to add safeguard to the
treasure.
During the wal of 1912 the bankers
OF Portland thought their treasure was
In danger Of being looted by the Brit
ish forces, and in casting about for a
safe place their choice fell upon the
town Of Standish and the Marrett
house as a depository for the treasure.
Loaded upon a six-ox cart and guarded
closely, the money, thousands Of dol
lars Of It. was transported 16 miles
and deposited in the place Of safety,
where II remained for two years with
O guard Of but one man to watch II.
The door OF the parlor in which the
money was placed was REINFORCED by
a heavy lock having a brass handle,
and extra supports were placed under
the floor of the room to sustain the
enormous weight of wealth. The house
