STOP DRINKING.
orrine Destroys Desire for Drink
"HoW to Swear Off,"

O'''''S SSohS
"HoW to Swear Off,"
1t was formerly customary for the
habitual drinker to take the pledge
regularly, sometimes once a year, and
sometimes in every fit of remorse that
followed his debauches, and then
Break it.
But now it is gradually dawning on
the world that pledges do not stop
drunkenness. When a man takes a
pledge voluntarily, he expects to keep
it. Every man expects to keep his
word, and every broken pledge costs
the drunkard many a heartache. But
he cannot help it. He fights as long
as he can, then succumbs to the crav-
ing. The nervous system of the habit.
ual drinker is diseased and he must
have treatment that will cure this con.
dition
Orrine is sold under a positive guar.
antee to cure the drink habit or the
money will be refunded. No other
treatment for the liquor habit is sold
with such liberal guarantee.
Orrine is prepared in two forms; No
l powder, perfectly tasteles and col
orless. which can be given secretly
in any food or drink Orrine No. 2
is in pill form, for those who wish to
be cured of the habit, and it should be
taken by every one who swears off.
No matter which form of Orrine is
used the guarantee is the same The
price of Orrine is 81 per box, mailed

to order rubber bands to go around

There are cold blooded humans who
say that men act foolishly at great
political conventions; that they yell too
much and carry favorite sons around
the hall on their shoulders and wave
flags like lunatics. The correct diagno-
sis of such critics is that they are not
good Americans. Their dignity is an
indication of despotism. It is the un-
conventional enthusiasm for our APP

Billy Stones Labor of Love.

There is one man connected with the
Chicago convention who deserves men-
ton here, for his arduous work is q
labor of love. and the country at large
hears little or nothing of him. His
name is William F. Stone. but at his
home in Baltimore he Is Billy Stone.
Mr.. Stone is sergeant at arms Of the
national convention. The late Senator
Hanna picked him for the job four
years ago. and Stone made such a hit
that he was elected to a second term.
Billy Stone has been about the busiest
man in America for the past month.
convention hall was put in shipshape
for the gathering.
Do you know what that means? Well.
any day for a month you might have
seen Billy Stone somewhere in the vast
area of the Coliseum at Fifteenth
street and Wabash avenue, bareheaded
and coatless. directing a big crowd of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, plumbers. paint
ers, carpet layers, and so forth. A saw
mill was set up inside the building to
saw the lumber for the special floors
required. Stone worked like the buzz
saw. There was a Wild West show in
the arena when Mr.. Stone arrived
After getting rid of the Wild West the
next thing was to get rid of the earth's
surface. Stone brought in plows and
mules and plowed up the dirt floor. He
did some of the blowing himself. The
loosened dirt was removed with scrap
ers. The flooring was put down, the
glary white walls were painted in bar
monious parrot and canary hues. ar

Some of the Favorite Candidates

There is William III. Taft, secretary
of war, who has many votes pledged.
Congressman Theodore E. Burton Of
Ohio was selected in advance Of the
convention to deliver the speech plac-
ing Mr.. Taft's name before the dele
gates. Then there is Vice President
Fairbanks, who would like to go one
step higher in office. There is Speaker
Cannon of the house, who thinks sew
enty-two is not too old for the presi-
dency. There is Governor Hughes Of
New York, who has declared that he
will not accept the vice presidency
and could not serve If elected, but
who would not refuse the presidential
nomination if rendered him by a COM
mittee from the Chicago convention.
There is Senator La Toilette Of Wis
consin, "BattIe Bob of the eighteen
hour speech in the currency filibuster
at the end of May, whose state delega-
ton is instructed to vote for, him.
There is Senator Knox of Pennsylra-
MIA, descendant of the General Knox
who was beloved by Washington. The
present Knox is one of the favorite
state sons-there are others not named
here-who, may be expected to receive
votes at Chicago. Then there may be
that interesting possibility which has

When the Crowd Warns Up.

While q reverend gentleman selected
by the national committee is offering
prayer there will be a nearer approach
to real order than at any other time
during the whole convention. At the
close of the prayer a modern statesman
with two-thirds majority of the an
Gent in his name, Senator julius Caesar
Burrows of Michigan, will assume the
gavel as temporary chairman of the
convention The national committee
selects the temporary chairman in adj
vance. Senator Burrows will proceed
to deliver the opening address, in which
he is supposed to outline the campaign
policies of the party in a guarded way
and likewise to promulgate over the
heads of the host sly hint as to his
own preference for the presidential
nomination. Only a towering genius
can exercise sufficient self control to
refrain from fiinging out feeler for
his favorite in the opening speech.
With the temporary chairman's
speech the crowd begins to enthuse.
Up In the galleries and all around the
real convention will be the greater

sons who have managed to get tickets

overflow of many thousands more who
can't get inside, but still have hopes.

conventions-the dark horse" For the
benefit Of the new voter who may not
have read up rigidly in political his.
tory it may be stated that a dark
horse is just as human as apy other
candidate, being man brought for
ward and nominated in q deadlock,
though not considered as entered in
the race prior to the convention.
Hayes was a dark horse. So was Car
field. SO was BENJAMIN Harrison in
1888. Dark horses, as you see, run
pretty WELL
After the presidential nominee is de-
clared the convention goes through a
similar performance in relation to the
vice presidency. BY this time most OF
the whoopers have the whooping
cough or the wheezes and are begin
ming to abate their enthusiasm. They
don't care much about the second place
on the ticket anyway. Yet it would
seem that the vice presidency should
he held in almost as high esteem as
the presidency. The Republican party
has elected seven presidents. But there
have been ten Republican presidents.
The vice presidency accounts for the
difference. Andrew Johnson. Chester
A. Arthur and Theodore Roosevelt as
to his first term became presidents as
the result of conventions naming them
for the vice presidency. Each of them
served almost the entire term of the
man higher up on the ticket.
AS general thing it does not re-
quire much time to nominate vice
presidential candidate. Usually several
states put forward favorite sons-when
the favorite sons will stand for 1t. Mr..
Roosevelt wouldn't stand for 1t In Phil
adelphia at the 1900 convention until
he was persuaded by the overwhelm-
ing enthusiasm of the delegates. OF

Is SERIOUSLY HURT
EMPLOYE OF NATIONAL MU-
scum MEETS WITH ACCIDENT.

John Fogarty, sixty-five years OF age
employed in the National Museum fo-
the past thirty years, met with a serious
and possibly fatal accident yesterday
afternoon about 4:15 O'Clock. He was
about to depart from the building when
he accidentally fell down several steps
and sustained injury, being rendered I'M
conscious Friends cared for him until
the arrival of the ambulance, in which
he was conveyed to the Emergency Hos
pital. Mr.. Fogarty soon regained con-
seriousness, but suffered intense pain.
On his arrival at the hospital the
patient was placed on the operating ta-
BILE and a thorough examination was
made, the surgeons finding he had a
6islocation of the left elbow and that
one rib was fractured and there was a
serious injury to his head. 1t was feared
that the patient had sustained fracture
at the base of the skull. Shortly after
he reached the hospital his wife and other
from his home, PIP 10th street The
pastor of the church OF which he is
member also called at the hospital.
Mr.. Fogarty, it is stated, is one of the
oldest employees at the museum, having
been there since he was d young man,
as already stated, and when the dis
tressing accident occurred there were
many anxious to assist him. 1t was
stated at the hospital last night that
the condition of the patient was critical

Japan Trying to Prevent Migration
of Its Coolies.

Further information than that already
afforded relative to the contents of the
communication from Ambassador O'Brien
transmitting from Toxic the Japanese
reply to his memorandum dealing with
the immigration question is refused at the
State Department The inference is that
although, as officially stated, Mr.. OBrien
regarded the Japanese answer as evincing
a satisfactory disposition toward the Pres
ident's desires. the reply is not conclusive.
1t is expected that the Japanese govern
me NJ will in some formal manner register
its purposes of preventing the further
migrate of coolies to the United States,
and when the assurance on that point has
taken satisfactory form the administra-
ton will see to it that Congress is 'ac-
qu2inted with the fact, and thereby re-
lieved from the necessity of enacting
any legislation looking to the exclusion
of Japanese immigration as whole.
Attempts in that direction already have
been made by the Pacific coast representa-
tives, and if the President is able to
convince Congress that the Japanese gov
erDment is in good faith endeavoring to
do by internal regulation what it is pro-
posed TO do here by statutory law-name-
ly, stop the influx of Japanese coolies
he will not find it necessary to veto any
such legislation.
