Ter, who had been slated for per manent chairman, would be present, voted to continue Charles w. Com stock as permanent chairman.
 Ex-Governor Waller, however, did come, and he was at once rendered the permanent chairmanship, which he accepted.
 Few democratic leaders could ever expect to receive such an ovation as did the Little Giant" when he en- tered the theater. Enthusiasm was uncorked, and the cheering was loud and long as he mounted the platform and took the gavel. He was in splen- did physical form and voice. and pro ceeded to business at once.
 Following the charman's address the convention proceeded to ratifv the nominations of county and dis trict delegates made last night.
 Then Homer S. Cummings of Stam- ford placed In nomination for dele gatesat-large, Hon. John J. Walsh of Norwalk in brief speech in which he laid stress on the loyalty and ser vice given by MT. Walsh to democ- racy.
 Ex-Senator William Kennedy of Naugatuck, also in a brief speech placed in nomination for the other delegate-at-large Hon Alexander Troup, and then moved that Judge Walsh and MT, Troup be unanimously chosen as delegates at-large. That was done with a whoop.
 There was not demur to the name of Alexander Troup when he was proposed as delegate at-large to | Denver Instead the name of tho veteran in-season and out-of-season supporter of the Nebraskan, was re- ceived with cheers which shook the theater No man was more heartily pleased thereby than the old-time op- ponent of Bryan eX-GOvernOr Thom- as M Waller of New London, per- manent chairman of the convention, In putting the motion that Mir Troup he nominated delegate large MT.

.FIRSTSNOW BALLS
FOR F|L|P|NOS
YOUNG NATIVES FROM THE ISL.
ANDS VISITING IN UNITED
STATES FIND ENJOYMENT
AND VICTORY IN SNOW FIGHT

SALT LAKE, Jan. There were
real international complications at
Fort Douglas yesterday afternoon.
Five little dark-skinned Filipinos
brought over from the islands by the
officers of the Fifteenth regiment,
engaged in mortal SNOWFALL combat
with youngsters who are at the
post with their parents-and won.
The fight itself was not very
much different from the everyday
affair seen on the streets of any
American city. But the white con-
testants had not seen snow for
nearly three years, and their dusky
opponents had never seen snow at
all.
War was declared between the
United States and the Philippines
when the progeny of the two coun-
tries were stirred by the shrill
shrek of a Filipino who had receiv-
ed hard SNOWFALL on the starboard
ear. With a weird yell the Filipino
summoned four of his young coun-
! trymen and the combat started in
earnest. At first the junior soldier
who threw the SNOWFALL was fight
| ing against odds, but patriotism
brought bunch of boys, and they
sent volley after volley at the lads
from the insular possessions.
Now, the Filipinos had never
made snowballs before, and the
great American game of baseball
was foreign to them. Their throw.
ing arms were "glass," wood" OIL
ION the blink" They couldn't hi
at all. The Filipinos were getting
the worst of it until some officer.
appeared on the firing line ant
showed them how it was done. They
directed their aim with such genu
inc accuracy that the junior regu
lar army was in imminent danger
of humiliation.
Aguinaldo never taught the littl,
brown men to charge in the open
but as there was no underbrush IL
which to skulk the islanders decid
ed that the best display of milltar!
tactics was the open charge. Tn
charge of the dark brigade was
triumph in generalship and tn
Filipinos were left undisputed vic
tors, putting the American boy
completely to rout in the first battl
they had ever had in the snow.

WOMEN FIGHT
RENT ExTORT|ON
LEAD THE FIGHT IN NEW YORK
TENEMENT DISTRICTS TO PRO-
TEST AGAINST HIGH RENTS
AND GIVE IT FORCE

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Six hum
dred women, the majority carrying
babies, invaded the empty sweat
shop in Pike street last night and
held most remarkable indignation
meeting in protest against the ex-
tortionate rents of the East Side.
Most of the women came from
tenement houses in Madison, Cherry,
Monroe, Henry and Eldridge
streets. 1t Immediately became APP
parent that the strike, which was
first confined to comparatively mar
row limits has now SO widely reach
ed out that 1t practically involves
the whole East Side below Houston
street, commonly called "The Ghet-
to-"
Charles H. Ellison, a prominent
member of the University settle
ment, was the principal speaker. He
was enthusiastically applauded by
the women. Ellison told the women
they were the real strength of the
movement and with their aid the
battle for cheaper rents would BE-
won.
Mrs. Sarah Blaustein, one of the
strike leaders, followed, and said:
Women, If this fight is lost, yor
all will be responsible. Ignore tn,
landlords excuses that they canno
lower our rents"
At midnight last night 200 wo
men stood near the Manhattan ter
minal of the Pike street bridge, nov

THY ARE DUE TO ARRIVE
JANUARY 16

PORT OF SPAIN, Dec. 3O.-The
American battleship fleet weighed
anchor yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock and steamer for Rio Janelro.
Accompanying the fleet were the
supply ships Culgoa and Glacier.
early in the morning the signal went
up from Rear Admiral Evans flag
ship Connecticut to prepare for de-
parture at a. m, but owing to a
delay in the coaling of the battle
ship Maine from the collier Fortuna,
it was necessary to change the time
of sailing.
Long before the hour set a myriad
of small craft, chiefly launches and
steam yachts, moved up and down
along the lines of anchored war
ships, the merry parties aboard
shouting farewells to the departing
visitors. Thousands of residents
climbed the surrounding hills to
view the great ships as they moved
outward on their journey or 3OOO
miles, while boatloads of excursion
lists went to the small islands in the
gulf and others to the floating dock
to catch the last glimpse of the ships
that were so royalty welcomed a
week ago. The feet presented a
magnificent appearance as 1t steam
ed out in four columns with the sup
ply ships trailing, a distance of 400
yards separating the end of the d.
vision from another. 1t was an
nounced by Admiral Evans before
his departure that he expects tc

DEMOCRATIC TEXT BOOK.

John Sayles in the Buffalo On. "
Times:
The Democratic campaign text book
is out.
1t is classic-worthy of our splen-
did leaders and righteous cause.
Looking at it from an external point
of view the book is as handy as one
could wish. 1t is just the right size
to carry in the pocket.
The text is clear, good print. Its
type emphasizes the vital points and
the general reading matter is easy for
the eyes.
The arrangement of the material is
work of skill. The subjects are log
ically placed and each topic receives
adequate treatment
The issues of this campaign belong
peculiarly to the year 1908. To be
up to date the campaign speaker must
know this book by heart.
Publicity of campaign funds is a
topic the people are interested in, and
this little red handbook has the SUBJ
ject in a nutshell The guarantee of
bank deposits is a subject very much
alive. The compilers of the text book
anticipated this fact and made ample
provision for it. The election of United
States senators by the people &C.
cords with the popular desire for a
larger rule by the people. The book
is eloquent on the subject
The trusts come in for their proper
consideration. The trusts have the
people by the throat, and what with
high prices and thousands of people
out of work they will get roundly
scored before election, and if Bryan
is inaugurated next March certain
criminals will ornament prison cells
The book tells its own story on the
subject in graphic fashion.
Tariff robbery receives clear expo
sition in the book. All the buncombe
about the benefits accruing from a
system of taxation which makes the
rich richer and the poor poorer re-
ceives the drubbing it deserves
Republican extravaganza in spend
ing the peoples money to support an
army of hundred thousand extra of
ficeholders appointed by the Roosevelt
administrations is held before the read
ers until he feels the wickedness of
wholesale Republican robbery as never
before.
In fine, the Democratic campaign
text book is as full of facts as an egg
is of meat
Every Democrat should own a copy.
This is to be campaign of issues, not
personalities. The presidential can
vass, therefore, will be chiefly q dis
cussioE of public measures
Send your silver quarter to Text
Book" department, Democratic ma
tional committee, Auditorium Annex,
Chicago, ILL.,, and procure this book.
Saturate yourself with it. Then go
for the Republicans and correct their
errors.

HORSE HIDES IN BEDROOM.
Detroit Equine Mounts Stairs, But
Crashes Through Weak Floor.

Detroit, Mich.-James Weir, chief
clerk of the freight department of the
Detroit United railway, is authority
for an amazing story of horse Weirs
veracity is unchallenged
The other day a freight driver for
the company missed a horse. After
searching the neighborhood for "a
hours he gave the animal up as lost.
But in the afternoon he heard a queer
noise upstairs, and, going to an I'M
used bedroom, found the missing
equine. No one can tell how the
horse got upstairs. The steps are not
overstrong and must have been
strained when the horse went up.
A hole was knocked in the ceiling
and block and table rugged, the plan
being to get the horse up to the roof
and lower him. But the rigging broke
and the floor, being no stronger than
the stairs, let the horse down into the
parlor. The animal was badly injured
but its owner has hopes of saving its
| life.

stage of the game the idea of an ONE
lette had not occurred to Geohardt.
1t was later, when heated by good
whisky and taunts from his good wife,
that the beautiful scheme with the
shanghai berries occurred to him.
When the conception came to him he
fastened, like true artist, to put it
into concrete form.
Mrs. Gebhardt was standing behind
the counter of the grocery store. She
noticed that her. husbands move
ments were slow and inaccurate. She
told him he was "soused"
1t was then that the poetical idea
of a human omelette entered Geb-
hardt's brain. He turned to a case of
eggs and began hurting them at Mrs.
Gebhardt.
Mrs. Gebhardt retaliated with hen
fruit from another case, and in less
than minute counters, glass cases
walls, windows and floor were GOV
cred with frothy whites and streaky
yellows. Mr.. and Mrs. Gebhardt were
unrecognizable under their coatings
of poultry product. Some of the eggs
were not fresh, and the smell accom-
panying them was akin to a packing
house odor. The fight ended with
Pinch shell in the shape of water
melon.
Mrs. Gebhardt ran from the store.
The battle sends Gebhardt to Jail
for 60 days. For his board the peo-
pie of Evansville nav S24.

Wears Snake in Her Hair.

Strong, Me.-Miss Myrtle Lambert
of this town has started a new fad
Most girls wear rat" in their hair
but Myrtle has gone one better ano
wears a snake. And it's real live
one. at that
She has a passion for snakes, and
has a python ten feet long, which
was brought to her by friend from
Asia. She has another one, a cora.
snake, which is three feet long, and
this one Myrtle wears coiled up in
her hair, as comfortable as the rat
that most girls wear. Few, however
would agree that the effect is as
charming.
The fact probably won't get very
far, for not very many fellows would
care to make love to a girl with a
snake in her hair.

Evansville. Indulge Winfrey
found it necessary to impose fine
of $50 and a Jail sentence of go days
on Fred Gebhardt, a grocer residing
on Virginia street, who had been ar

and his good wife got badly mixed.

in Gebhardt's grocery. He says it
