lar way. . This is the opinion of number of the members of the Republican nation. al committee, it being stated that the representative of the state on the na- tional committee stands in the place of the state delegation to the national convention.
 The same view regarding action in the event of vacancy Is held by the Democrats, since at the St. Louis con vention four years ago, as MT. Davis, the nominee for vtce president, was eighty years old, resolution was passed by the convention authorizing the national Democratic committee to fill vacancy in case of necessity.
 There is no statutory law on the subject because not only national com mittees, but the conventions which create them, are extra official, and their standing is not determined under the law. Of course the committee would be answerable to the party it represented.

Sherman's Family Doctor Ill.

Utica, N. Y., June 24.-Utica is quiet when it expected to be gay in celebra- tion of the homecoming of Congress- man Sherman, the Republican nominee for vice president. The demonstration has been indefinitely postponed, to the great disappointment of all. Regret over the illness of MT. Sherman is uni versal. MT. Sherman has had several attacks of gall stones during the past two years, but seemed to be as vigor- ous as usual when t& went to the Chi cago convention. He is naturally robust man, and his friends feel confi- dent that he could endure an operation and be able in few weeks to take an active part in the campaign. The wife of Dr. Peck, Mir Sherman's family physician, died, and Dr. Peck himself is critically i'll. His advice would be very valuable at this time if it could be obtained.

Lincoln. Neb, June 4.-Denouncing the Republican platform as a silent re- pudiation of almost every Rooseveltian principle. William J. Bryan completed an editorial summary of the work Of the Chicago convention. He says: Have you read the Republican plat form! If not you ought to read it. The contest in the Republican party be- tween the reformer and stand batter is for the present at an end. with the stand batter in the saddle. The plat form Is silent repudIation of nearly every promise of reform that the pres ident and bis followers have given to the country"

 IN TEHERAN.
Battle Between Shah's Soldiers
 and Parliament.

| Teheran,, June 24.--After bloody
 fight which was waged around the
 parliament building the city is com,
 paratively quiet today, although the
 Cossacks are camped in the streets
 and squares.
 F Cossacks and soldiers surrounded the parliament and demanded that mum.
 Der of persons whose arrest the shah
 had ordered be forthwith handed over | to them. Parliament refused to comply
 with this demand. and shots were fired
 at the troops, several of the soldiers
 being killed. Orders were at once is-
 sued from military headquarters that
 the parliament building be bombarded. While the bombardment was in prog
 ress bombs were thrown from the par lament building and the mosque build ing adjoining disabling one of the guns and wounding the gunners.
 Eventually the halls of parliament were cleared. but not before many per
 sons had been killed and wounded.
 The bombardment continued several hours. In 1.-the meantime the troops pill laged the political clubs in; that neigh
 borhood and numerous residences of influential members of parliament, in which work they were aided by the populace, .--
 The number of casualties is un- known, but 1t will be very large. The parliament buildings. are practically in ruins. The firing was confined to Par liament square, other parts of the city being comparatively quiet Large num- bers of leading Nationalists, including priests and members of parliament, have been placed under arrest.
 It was reported few days ago that the shah of Persia, .Mohammed All Mirza, had fled from Teheran. and it was even thought that he might abdi- cate and leave the country but the latest information from there now in- dicates that he is master of the situa- ton. ''a
 Ever since the present shah came to | the throne in January, 1907, and began | his rule under a constitution, the first | Persia ever has known the efforts of | the Reactionists to nullify the effect of ! constitutional reforms have. caused bit ter contests. Some of these have been marked by bloodshed, and there has been constant factlonal agitation. The empire has become divided into Eng fish and Russian spheres of influences, and the complications with Russia on one border and Turkey on the other. have increased the hostility between the internal factions.

Injunction Plank and Others Satisfae.
 tory to Candidate.
 Columbus, O., June 24.-The reply of Attorney General Wade H. Ellis to the criticism of AIr. Bryan on the Repub- liean national platform has suggested further question as to how the anti injunction plank as finally adopted came to be written.
 Upon this point Mir. Ellis made this statement:
 The anti-injunction plank as finally adopted was written by the friends of Secretary Taft on the subcommittee on resolutions and was approved by the secretary and the president before it was proposed as a substitute for the original plank on this subject. In fact, every plank and practically every sen tence in the Republican platform as finally adopted was approved by the secretary, although those portions re- ferring particularly to the work of the administration were not submitted to the president Even the unimportant verbal changes between the draft as published before the convention and as finally adopted by the convention were made with the secretary's knowledge before the tentative draft was submit ted to the committee.
 This statement is made in order to make clear the fact that the Repub- hean platform contains no suggestion of retreat from the Roosevelt poll eies. stands squarely by the progress siye principles of the party and was adopted because it had the emphatic approval of the party's candidHte."

 MILO SILVER POLISH"
 If you housekeeper you use silver polish, or what is called silver polish Have you ever noticed that when you use the ordinary so-caed silver polish that the cloth used becomes black? This gives you the that the silver needed cleaning very much This idea is, however, error. The black the cloth is the plating your silver that you are rub ping of, not dirt. +.-..
 In other words instead of helping siiver every time you use these polishes you rub off just so much plating and eventually your silver commences to show the basic metal. ,. ,a t..s

There is sneak thief out in Cali
yfornia who must have had an I'M
pleasant surprise recently after a sue
cessful pinch" of a grip which he
picked Up in the railroad station at
Los Angeles. The case had been set
down by two miners whom the crook
had followed, and he evidently thought
he had made haul of gold dust at the
least. When the miners discovered the
grip was gone they raised commo-
ton and told the police that they did
mt care so much about the loss as the
fear that someone would get hurt
through the theft. They went on to
explain that the grip contained moth
ing except an enormous live rattle
snake, and though no trace of the thief
has come and nothing has been heard
of the snake, the police and miners are
still wondering how the crook looked
when he opened the case to inspect his
plunder?

toms of the people who inhabited the
land of Canaan before the Israelites
occupied it. The records of the Bib
lcal books about them have often
been subjected to question. One was
the statement that the custom of hui
man sacrifice was in vogue. In the
books of Kings it is related how Hiel
the Bethleite laid the foundations of
Jericho on his firstborn son Adrian,
and set up the gate of the city on his
second son, Segub. The excavations
made by Professor Sellin through the
aid of the Palestine Exploration fund
on the site of the ancient cities OF
Jericho and Gezer have brought to
light many evidences of such GUS
toms. the ideas of these people about
the the value of propitiating the spirit
of the earth by human sacrifice being
like those of the Aztecs of Mexico.
The excavators have uncovered the
bones of those who were SO sacrificed
and placed under the foundations or
under the corners of houses, together
with the sacrifcial vessels symbolic of
the barbarous act.
Among the American museums
which have conducted important ex-
ploration work in the archaeological
fields of the old world is the Metro
politan Museum of Art in New York.
It was but short time after Sir Cas-
par Purdon Clarke took charge as
director of this great museum that an
Egyptian department was organized
with Mr.. Albert Morton Lythgoe as
curator. Under the latter's direction
excavation work was begun in Decem-
Der, 1906, at the pyramids of Lisht.
TOMB OF THE LADY SENBTES.
Facts have been recovered which
make a distinct contribution to the
history of Egyptian art and architec>
ture during the period of the middle
empire. Over a hundred tombs We're
uncovered in the cemetery found at
the base of the pyramid temple, and
one of these proved to be the tomb
of a lady of the time of the twelfth
dynasty named Senhtes. This lady,
whose burial surroundings showed her
to be a person of Importance, lived
several centuries before the time &c
Moses, and her mummified body IS one
of the very oldest of the relics of that
kind which have come down to our
own era. The K1ummification of this
body possesses much archaeological
Importance.
The lady of Senbtes and the many
interesting things found iR her tomb
may soon be seen at the museum, and
these and other relics from the pyra-
mids of Iisht will aid the public to
appreciate the wonderful character or
the civilizations which existed thou
sands of years ago.

In Sydney, a town of 100000 inhabi-
tants, one can get nothing to eat on
Sunday. Certain restaurants supply
food surrepitiously, but the whole. time
the guests are in danger of being ar
rested. Once an italian was in such
a restaurant on Sunday, when sud-
denly the police entered. The Italian
was promptly pushed by the proprie-
tor into a room where waitress hap
pened to be standing in neglige. Even
this room the police invaded, but the
waitress saved the situation by de-
claring that the young man was her
f1ance. The young man, by the way,
had been married some time. lie
thought that he had deceived the
policeman, but, as a matter OF fact
he had got out of the frying-pan into
the fire. One fine day the waitress
called him before the courts, ana
claimed $500 for breach of promise.
The italian had to pay. ana tneil
came the worst of all. His wife sued
for divorce, and shortly after mar
ried another man.

FISHING IN THE PHILIPPINES

Fishing is rapidly growing industry
in the Philippines, engaging at, pre-
sent more than 125.000 natives, who
gradually are adopting modern meth
DDS. Some of them cling to the pri-
mitive methods of a century ago,
spearing still being much in vogue.
In the shallow lagoons natives catch
hundreds of cells with forked sticks.
Instead of seines the natives make
traps, called corrals. of bamboo and
rattan, and take tons daily in this
manner, the corraIs being set where
the fish are known to run. Last year
the consumption of fish in the islands
exceeded half a million tons.

COST OF ROYAL FUNERALS.

The double funeral of King Carlos
and the Crown Prince of Portugal has
involved the expenditure of a good
round sum, but in this, as in other
directions. royalty has of late years
shown a desire for economy. No mod
ern ruler has been buried at the cost
of Alexander the Great, at whose
funeral $4,000, 600 was spent, part of the
money going toward providing a solid
gold coffin for the dead ruler. Emperor
William of Germany was buried at a
cost of s125.000. and the last rites Of
the Grand Duke Nicholas ran into
100000. At the funeral of President
Carnot trifle of $500 was spent on
flowers alone. A sum of s175,000 was
spent on Queen Nictoria's obsequies,
