The Democratic National Conven-
ton had not reached vote on the
nomination of a candidate for Presi-
dent when we went to press last week
This vote was taken after an all-nfght
session and the first and only ballot
resulted as follows: Bryan, 8921A
Gray, SO; Johnson, As. Before the
vote was announced the nomination
was made unanimous.
John Worth Kern. of Indiana, was
nominated on the first ballot for the
vice presidency. Mr. Kern is said to
be the most popular Democrat in In
diana. He was twice candidate for
Governor, and, although defeated, poll
ed $4,000 votes more than any other
man on his ticket. It is hoped his
nomination will put Indiana in the
Bryan column.
The platform is printed in full in
another part of the paper.

Special Purchase of Umbrellas
at One-Third Off.

From a large. Manufacturer
: we have just bought 200 fine
Umbrellas at one-third less than
the regular price. There are
!: many styles of handles in the
lot, and every umbrella is made
over the best paragon steel
frames and steel rods, making
the strongest and stiffest UNI
brella that can be produced.
The makers call them seconds,
but if we did not tell you this
you would never know it. This
factory, however, is very strict,
and every umbrella is subjected
to a rigid examination, and
many that you or I would pro-
nounce perfect they throw aside
because of some trifling defect
that the ordinary person would
never see. We guarantee them
fast black, and free from holes,
and to turn all the rain. 1t is
by far the best umbrella bar
gain we have ever had. They
are equally good for sun or rain.
Buy one for a sun shade. Then
too they will make fine school
umbrellas for the children this
fall. Buy one while they are
cheap.
AS the quantity is small and
the prices smaller, they will not
last long.
For easy selling we have di-
vided them into two lots.
Lot No. 1 contains umbrellas
worth $1.OO, mems and ladies'
sizes, choice while they last, 69c.
90 Cents.
Lot No. 2 contains the finest
umbrellas for men or ladies,
many styles, and worth $1.50
and $500, but while they last,
we say 93c for your choice.
90 Cents.
We were promised these
goods today, Friday, but if they
do not arrive in time to offer
Saturday they will surely be in
on Monday.

Steichen Has Helped to Give indivld-
ual Photographic Print Unique Place.
While waiting for recognition.
Steichen had established himself in q
little room at pol Fifth avenue. which
is now one OF the galleries of the
"Photo-Secession," says February
Century. The turn OF his fortune
came with the sale of two or three
Of his oil paintings, and a little later
with an exhibition at the Glaenzer
galleries on Fifth avenue, which prov
ed an artistic success. and brought
him TO the notice of a very discern
ing class Of picture-lovers.
The following ear he gave two ex-
hibitions-one Of his paintings and
another of his prints. OF the former.
seventeen out of twenty-five found
purchasers, and OF the latter some so
per cent of the total exhibits. The
price paid for the individual prints
varied from $50 to $3.50, which, con
sidering the number that were sold,
epresented the largest amount yet
paid for Photographic pictures, But
people had begun to regard them in
the spirit Of the connoisseur. estimat-
ing them on their own merits, accord
ing to their technical qualities and ga
pacity to satisfy the esthetic sense.
They had got away from the idea OF
photographs that are turned out me,
chanically by the dozen, and had
learned to scrutinize the individual
| print in etching or engraving. N to
discover thai 1t possessed certain

issued and had been presented at the
department of state it would have en-.
abled its holder to have the first view
of the Declaration of Independence
that has been had since the spring
of 1903.
No one has seen the document for
five years. 1t is locked up In a safe
in the library of the state department
and not even the officials OF that de
partment get ii out to look at 1t.
Even before 1903 it had been kept
in the safe, but it was often brought
out for admiring citizens to scrutinizs
and to exclaim over. Since 1903 the
light of day has not fallen on 1t.
There had been too much light OF
day before that. In fact there had
been too much of a good many things;
too much folding, too much rolling,
too much handling and, alas! too
much stealing of its immortal Ian
guage by a wet press copying opera
ton resorted to in 1920.
This was tried as a means Of secur.
ing a facsimile coy. 1t was good
enough for the copy, but it was pow
erful bad on the original, for it result
ed in transferring to the copy the ink
which belonged on the old parchment
itself. Not content with swiping its
ink, the government put the document
up on exhibition in a nice bright light
so that visitors could decipher the
traces of ink which remained.
For 80 years the Declaration Of In
dependence hung in the light, and the
longer 1t hung there the more neces-
sary the light became, for the ink thai
was left grew paler and paler until II
was hard to make out any of the sig.
natures except the big black name OF
John Hancock. Finally it became evil.
dent that II anything except the
parchment was to be left the docu.
ment would have to be kept in the
dark.
So IL went into retirement In the
safe, being brought out only upon spe-
cial requests.
The original parchment was photo
graphed In 1883 and again In 1903.
The committee recommended that II
be photographed again from time to
time. The present indications are that
1t will not be seen until perhaps an.
other 20 years has gone by and the
time comes in 1923, for taking anoth.
err photograph.
In the safe with the Declaration OF
independence reposes also the orig.
inal copy Of the Constitution of the
United States. 1t Is not on exhibition,
but if doubt as to its existence con-
tinues to grow it may be produced to
set fears at rest.
There is nothing the matter with
the constitution; that is to say, not
with the document itself. The ink is
all right, the provisions clear-so far
as the writing goes. It is shut up in
the safe to preserve 1t from the fate
Of the declaration.

A TREE ON A TOWER.
II 10 the Last of a Grove of Four on
the Same Perch.
ITO Be continued.)

" 10 uHc Last of q arOVc OF TouT or
the Same Perch.
A tree growing on the top of the no.
foot tower of the court house at
Greensburg, Ind, is a curiosity which
is said by a writer In st. Nicholas to
have no duplicate in the world.
There were formerly four trees. but
when the court house was remodeled
in 1887 the largest tree. then about
dfteen feet high, was removed, as It's
size was thought to render the tower
unsafe.
Two others on the South side per-
ished from tho intense heat. The tree
left Is found at the northwest corner
Of the tower. where the reflection of
the heat of the tower Is not 30 intense
as at the point where the two others
died.
As there Is q grove Of soft naples
growing In the court house yard. the
grove on the tower IL supposed to
have been started by the wind blowing
the winged maple seeds into the crew,
ices wnere. catching root In the eedl-
ments of dust and watered by the
rain, they sprouted.
The trees were nrst noticed sprout.
ing more than thirty years ago.
A recent examinations Of the tower
shows no damage done by the spread
ing and growth of the roots. This
tree is about fifteen feet In height and
three inches In diameter. 1t was found
that the trees were nourished by q
layer of growth . few feet below
where the roots emerge,
A large crack on the south side OF
the nc seer wissys one of the trees was
