The platform OF the Democracy
of Tennessee, adopted at the State
Convention, is as follows:
The Democracy Of Tennessee in
convention assembled, reafirms
the time-honored principles of the
party as handed down by its
founder, Thomas Jefferson, and as
exemplified by its present great
leader and exponent, Hon. w. j.
Bryan.
1t endorses the platform made at
the National Democratic conven-
tion at Denver and pledges its un-
divided and loyal support to the
nominees of that convention.
Being in thorough sympathy
and accord with the efforts of the
National Democracy to restore the
Government to its ancient moor
ings and to re-establish it on the
old foundations of the rights Of
the people and the consent of the
governed, we send our greetings
to the Democrats of other States,
and pledge the electoral vste of
Tennessee to its nominees for Pres
ident and Vice, President.
We congratulate the people of
the State upon their prosperity
and present happy condition. We
point to the financial strength and
standing of Tennessee, to the eff
ciet management of our State in
stitutions, to the health and gene
raj prosperity of our people, all
of which has been brought about by
wise Democratic policies, as rea-
sons why the Democratic party |
should continue in power and con-
troll.
Realizing that these conditions
can only remain and he improved
by the enactment of wise and
wholesome laws and by steadfast
determination to safeguard the in
terests of all the people, the Demo
cratic party, in convention assem-
bled, declares the following plat
form of principles as most neces-
sarytocontinue present satisfactory
conditions, and to further increase
the prosperity of the State and the
welfare of its people.
Quotations
Realizing that the be- asset of
any commonweafth'-is an esN2cated {
citizenship, we pledge the D>lo- {
cratic party to foster and encour-
sge public school education as the
,urest means of elevating the State, '
ind the strongest safeguard to the c
lights and liberties of the people. a
We favor liberal appropriations Q

lorse the school law enacted by b
he last General Assembly, and we u
urther believe that this law should y

les which were excepted from its

ment of normal schools in which
to fit and train teachers for their
work, and we also favor a uniform
system Of public school buildings
SO as to insure proper ventilation,
light and comfort to the children
who attend.
AGRICULTURE,
Believing that agriculture is the
chief source of the wealth and
prosperity of our people, and that
upon its advancement must in a
large measure depend our future
growth and development, we favor
legislation that will encourage this
industry in all of its forms and
such appropriations to the Agri-
cultural Department of the State
as may be necessary to continue
and expand its work.
We further believe that, as 80
per cent. of our people depend
upon the soil as a means of liveIi-
hood, the elements of agriculture
should be taught in our public
schools, SO as to give sons Of farm
ers better knowl g d ge of their
work and acquaint them with the
advantages of farm life.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. LAW.
The Democratic party has ever
been the friend Of labor, and we
favor the enactment of all wise
and necessary laws to advance and
protect its interest.
To this end we specifically en-
dorse the National Democratic
platform, lately promulgated az
Denver, with reference to employ
ers' liability, which is as follows:
"We pledge the Democratic
party to the enactment Of law by T
Congress, as far as federal juris-
fiction extends, for a general en-
oloyers' liability act, covering in
ury to body or loss of life," and
We favor appropriate Legislation

Pawtucket, R. l., Aug 15.-De- claring that Benjamin F.

Since that time she has been willing 10 perform her part of the contrac. and is still willing. but MT Smith refuses to lead her to the altar.

BOY FALLS THREE STORIES.
But He Was an Acrobat and Escaped
 Any Injury.

New York, Aug 15.-When 10 years old Zenatura Kabayachi was looking out of the window of his home on the third floor of No 25G West Forty-third street, last night, he lost his balance and landed on the sidewalk-in a sitting position. According to Dr Blakely, who put arnica on Zenatura's bruises, it was the last time he would adopt a sit ting position for some days. Other wise his fall will not inconvenience him.
 Many women sitting on the steps of their houses saw the little Jap anese fall. Their shrieks of fright were changed to hysterical laughter when they saw the solemn little fel- low get up and walk away, rubbing his bruises tenderly. The sidewalk was very hard.
 When Policeman Finnegan and the ambulance from Roosevelt hos pital arrived, neither the doctor nor Finnegan could account for Zena- tura's remarkable escape from in- jury, so he explained. He said:
 ''I live with my father and five brothers. We are acrobats. When I lost my balance I relaxed my mus cles as I have been trained and so saved my life. But it is a painful thing, that of falling three floors even for an acrobat"

ICE RUNNING SHORT.
Heaviest Selling Season in a Dozen
 Years in Hartford,

Hartford, Aug 15.-A shortage of ice although not necessarily an ice famine is threatened by the extraor- dinarily long hot season of this sum- mer although, in the opinion of ma jority of large dealers there will be no rise in the price. From the ice dealers point of view this season has been the best in thirteen or fourteen years, that is to say, more ice has been bought and more continuously but, in turn, this has had the natural effect of producing shortage and as result practically every dealer is now buying out of town. As long as Ice can be obtained from the state or nearby states there will be no rise in prices, it is said. But if, on the oth- CT hand, the nearby supply should run short and the dealers should be obliged to send to some distance, as, for instance, to Maine for their sup ply, there would naturally be rise in the price If only by reason of the more than doubled freight charges. Such move, however, while always possible, is not imminent.
 There was practically no ice car ried over from last year, although less than usual was used last sum- mer

PISTOLS OUT IN AUCKLAND.
New Zealanders Couldn't Bear to Set
 Sailors Roughly Handled.

Auckland, New Zealand, Aug l5.-- The only untoward incident that has marked the visit of the American fleet took place last night. While a patrol squad from the fleet was col lecting stragglers, preparatory to the sailing of the warships to-day q crowd of New zealanders became threatening toward the patrol be- cause they thought the sailors were being too roughly handled,
 The patrol drew revolvers and held of the crowd until the police arrived. The latter speedily dispersed the crowd and escorted the patrol and the men it had in charge to the wharf.
 Cutters representing the various vessels of the fleet raced in Auckland harbor yesterday for the Battenberg cup. The crew from the Louisiana won by five lengths.
 A party including Premier Ward and Governor Plunkett was enter tained by Admiral Sperry on the flag ship Connecticut yesterday.
