Queer Bits of History.

AS long ago as1795 a Leipsic house
published a German novel illustrated
by something closely resembling a
Roentgen picture. The story tells of
the Countess Abillinia, VINO gave her
heart to the night Gimello. the
knightly lover was thougntless enough
10 kill his lady loves father, her af-
lection turned to hatred. she vowed
TO kill him. In a dream she saw the
man VINO mad fascinated her, and she
stood ready to Stay him when sudden
ly mis- form changed and before her
stood grinning skeleton. saying Il
nave already been punished" This
scene is illustrated in the old book,
and the picture in not ike "a Resent
gen photograph. When it was publish
ed no one probably would nave believ-
ed that science within a comparative
ly short time would make it possible
10 produce this picture, wnicn the
authors imagination invented.
Marriages between English actresses
and men of a high social position be-
gan in the eighteenth century, if no
earlier. There Was Ihyinia Fenton the
Polly Peachum" of Gays Beggar's
Opera, who became duchess of Bolton:
there was Miss Farren. VINO married
Lord Derby: Miss Brunton' VINO be-
came Lady Craven not long before
Lord Thurlow married Miss Bolton.
Earliest of the list, though, comes the
earl of Peterborough, VINO married
Anastasia Robinson, the singer and
kept the marriage secret until a few
days before his death in st. James
Palace. when ne assembled his rela-
lives and friends and publicly acknow
edged the woman "to whom he owed
the best and happiest hours of mis-
life" a tardy act of justice that caus-
ed the lady TO swoon away.
A striking illustration of the cham
ces of war is found in the fact that
the American Army at Cam
bridge during the war of the
revolution would have been left
without ammunition but for the
provision of John Brown, a mer-
cnant of Providence. r. l., and one
of the family who gave the name
TO the university at the place. Brown
was a very wealthy merchant and was
the first of the Rhode Island Mer-
chants to send his ships to China and
the East Indies. Anticipating the war
he instructed his captains on the re-
urn voyage 10 load their ships with

New York.--Gov Charles E. Hughes
was Endorsed as New Works Repub-
lican candidate for President by that
party's state convention held Saturday,
and the four delegates-at-large with
their alternates. elected to the Chicago
national Republican, convention were
instructed to use all honorable means
to bring about his nomination.
The four delegates atlarge are: Gen.
Stewart l.. Woodford. ex-Mayor Seth
Low of this city. Frederick X. Hazard
of Syracuse, and +. II. Butler of Buff
falo.
The conyention-the thirteenth held
by the Republican party to elect dele
gates-at-large to national convention
was repetition of It's distinctive
feature Of the Oneida convention of
1880. when Roscoe C0nkling sought
vainIy to have not only the delegates
at-large, but the congressional dele
gates also instructed for Ulysses s.

Ex-State Senator Edgar T. Bracket

amend the resolution indorsing Gov
etnor Hughes and to instruct the dele
gates at-large to work Tor MIN, ana inc
other delegates to 'perslstently labor
for his nomination until a nomination
Is made" This failed, and the major
ity report was adopted almost unani-
mously.
The platform ind0rses In strong
terms the administration OF President
Roosevelt and Governor Hughes. and
commends the policies of the federal
administration.
A revision of the tariff is favored and
the action of Congress In declining to
revise the tariff by piecemeal is In
dorsed
Changes are advocated In the cur
rency laws to provide more elastic
and satisfactory monetary system.
The platform favors, the upbuilding
of the American navy; the speedy com
pietion of the Panama canal; the de-
vclopment of the American, merchan;
marine; the Improvement of the inland
waterways; the re-enactment OF popu-
lar government In the Philippine ISL

the settlement of international diner
ences, and also of all disputes between
labor and capital by arbitration.
