End of Terry Case.

Henry w. Bosnian was brought into
the United States circuit court Mon
day morning and was fined 5000 by
Judge Hale. He paid the fine. There
was no argument of counsel or dis
cussion over the case any more than
there would have been over any
ordinary case.
Bosnian was a clerk in the Water
vile postoffiee. He was charged
with having conspired with George
Fred Terry the Waterville publisher
to defraud the government in the
mailing of second class matter. Both
of these men were tried before jury
and found guilty. A little while ago
Terry was brought into court and was
fined $4,000 by Judge Hale. 1t was
then represented to the court that
Terry could not be sent to Jail with
out endangering his eyesight and his
life. So he was fined the largest
amount possible under the law.
Boshan's fine seemed small in com
parison with that of the publisher but
ferry was regarded all along as the
principal in the case and Bosnian as
only an accessory.

The Summit House, hotel at the
top of Mount Washington, known to
thousands of summer tourists. was
burned Thursday night of last week
together with large stable nearby,
Situated at an elevation Of over 5000
feet above the sea level, the burning
building presented brilliant spec
tacle, which was visible for scores of
miles in all directions. The hotel had
not been opened for the summer but
a portion of it is said to have been
occupied by some workmen employed
in repairing the Mount Washington
Railway. 1t is supposed that the fire
started from an accidental cause. 1t
will be rebuilt.

HOW TAFT WAS
Proceedings of Republican
Convention.

Chicago. June 19.-With the appoint
ment of committees 10 notify William
Howard Taft of Ohio and James
schoolcraft Sherman OF New York Of
their nomination respectively for the
presidency and the vice presidency OF
the United States. the fourteenth Re
publican national convention adjourn
ed.
Both candidates were nominated on
the first ballot Mr.. Taft's nomination
took place Thursday afternoon and MI.
Sherman's Friday morning. The vice
presidential candidate is a resident OF
Utica, N. Y, and has been member
of congress for nearly twenty years
Mr.. Sherman was chairman of the con-
gressional campaign committee for the
Republican party in 1906. In the con-
yention he received S15 votes and his
nomination was made unanimous.
Three features of the great conven-
ton stand out above the rest In hui
man interest One was the remarkable
demonstration OF applause evoked by
the mention OF President Roosevelts
name In a highly complimentary way
by the permanent chairman, Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts.
This demonstration lasted forty-six
minutes and is said to have broken the
time record for such things In Ameri-
can politics. The cue for the enthusias-
tic outbreak was Senator Lodges re-
mark during his opening address as
chairman when he said, The president
is the best abused and the most popu-
lar man In the United States today"
Another signal feature was the com
mittee fight on the anti-injuncflon
plank, otherwise the proposed plank for
the platform which was designed with
a view to expressing the administra-
tion's disapprova1 of hasty court in
functions against the presumed rights
of labor. The struggle resulted finally
In a compromise, both sides yielding
In part, 20 that harmony might be pre-
served and the party go before the PEG
pie with a plank on this subject calcu-
lated to conciliate the labor interests
and at the same time not to be con

the federal judiciary.
The third feature In the group here
set forth as markers to pOsterity for
the big Chicago convention was mega
tive one-something that didn't happen,
though It was expected to happen by
many persons throughout the country
and by not few OF the delegates In
the convention This was the absence
of the stampede" for denomination
of President Roosevelt against the pres
ident's express declaration that he
would abide absolutely by the unwrit-
ten law that no president shall serve
more than two terms. Mr.. Tafts nomi-
nation proceeded along smoothly to
ultimation, the nation was preserved
from any present peril of the third
term bogy and the presidents name
preserved to future ages as one who.
with a further extension of power
within his grasp. was patriot enough
to put aside the proffer for his coun-
try's good While, as stated, mega
tive feature, this cannot he passed by
as one OF the few matters of paramount
force In the history Of the 1908 con-
ventiOn.

Ambassador Bryoe's Views.

1t was an inspiring convention from

such an event is of thrilling interest to
every American. But In this conven-
ton there were represented many Of
the nations of Europe and OF South
America by their ambassadors and
ministers, who sat upon the platform

Britain, author of 1.-The American Com
monwealth" and said to know more
about America than the average edu-
Gated American knows, for the first
time attended a national nominating
convention. This machinery OF con-
ventions," said the ambassador after
watching the proceedings closely, "as
