BRYAN and KERN
NOMINATED.
This is The Ticket Named by
The Democrats.
Nebraska Sage Nominated Amidst
Scenes of Greatest Enthusiasm
Last Act Naming of Kern.

William Jenn ngs Bryan of Nebraska
was nominated for the third time for
the office OF president of the Unit
ed States at Denver last Friday morn
inng by the Democratic national con-
vention amid scenes of frenzied en-
thusiasm. The result came after an
all-night session, which was kept in a
constant state of turmoil up TO the
eliminating moment when the Nebras-
ka leader was proclaimed the choice
of the convention as the Democratic
standard bearer.
The nomination was made on the
first and only ballot. the vote stand
ing: William j Bryan S92h, Cover
nor John A Johnson 10, Judge George
Gray 591a.
The announcement of the vote was
the signal for a wild demonstration.
When for a moment order could be
secure out of this tempestuous chaos
Of demonstration, state after state
which had at first recorded its vote
for Johnson or Gray fell into line with
the overmasterng column. and the
nomination was made unanimous, and
by reclamation.
The taking OF the vote had been
followed with breathless interest. as
state after state swelled the Bryan
strength. When New York was reach
ed in the call OF states the announce
ment of Chief Murphy Seventy eight
votes for Bryan" brought out a wild
outburst Of enthusiastic approval
which for a time compelled the sus-
rension OF the roll call. A further
clay was caused by a demand for a
oil of the New York delegation. On
this poll many of the New York dele
gates, including Judge Alton b. Par
ker, the presidential nominee four
years ago, remained silent but the en-
tire rs votes Of The delegation were
cast for Bryan under the unit rule"
Pennsylvania was similarly called,
after sharp disagreement within the
delegation. and -he vote of Pennsyl-
yania as finally cas- was divided.
At the final session Friday of the
Democratic convention, Hon. John w
Kern OF Indiana was nominated for
vice president by reclamation. His
name was presented 20 the convention
Inv DeIepate Marshal and was second-
ed by a host OF delegates, including
Governor Folk of Missouri. Charles
A. Towne Of New York, Clark How
ell of Georgia and Archibald Mcneil of
Connecticut were also placed in no
minatlon.

The Act of Dying.

The mere ultimate process of dying
may be a relatively easy matter. Any
person who has been long i'll probably
suffers more on any given day of his
life than he will suffer in the act of
departing from his body. 1t is
probable that a broken bone, a deliri-
Gus fever, a disordered vital organ
may cause more anguish than the fin
al struggle. have my doubts wheth-
er the last pang is as bad as ii seems
We are told by surgeons that chloro-
formed patients may give apparent
evidence of acute agonies which they
do not feel; death itself is often an
anaesthetic so merciful that what peo-
pie call "living trouble" is obvious
~ a worse matter.
I, for instance, who have never fain-
ted and never been anaesthetized in
my life, have twice become from seri-
Gus causes unconscious for a short
time, and have often wished that |
could make over to some recoiling soul
whose name has been heard bringing
upon the last roll call the unspeakable
comfort which that brief experience
has given me. There was no pang-
no terror no time no chance for eth
er. One seemed to slide gently and
swiftly down a warm abyss, flower
scented, grass-grown, safe and bene-
ficent, into unutterable content. One
melted into peace. One drifted into
ecstasy beside which the deepest joys
of consciousness are poor. pale things.
If one in truth should evade the body
in such a moment, death would stand
chosen as the supreme delight of hv-
Bazaar. i

MCLEAN A. S. {.
Hold ALOOF.
Union Decides to Pool Tobacco
Through It's Own
Organization.

The Mclean county union A. S. OF
T.. met in regular session at Calhoon,
KY, on July Z. The house was call
ed to order at 10 O'Clock by Presi-
dent S. B. Robertson.
On motion, the following committee
on credentials was appointed: r. c.
Easton, j. r. Bland and A. Corey.
The local representation was based
upon its paid up membership, which
deprived several locals from partici-
pating in the meeting. Twelve locals
were represented by 80 delegates.
The minutes of the last regular
meeting and of the called session
were read and approved. On motion
the chairman appointed the following
CT mmittee on resolutions: +. B. Nc
Euen, B. C. Easton, ]. r. Bland, P.
III. Mullen and A. Mackey.
The committee on resolutions made
the following report.
l. We reaffirm our allegiance to the
great principles of the A. S. of f.
We declare them to be the fundamen-
tai principles upon which rest the ad-
vancement in prices of agricultural pro
ducts.
2. We view with alarm a division
of our people over the plan of pool
ing the tobacco crop of 1908. 1t is
evident to your committee that all
growers of tobacco in Mclean county
will sign neither pledge. A common
interest suggests concerted action and
control of all tobacco in the county
by some committee. We. therefore.
recommend that a pooling pledge be
prepared and circulated for those who
wish to pool. under the control of a
committee under the jurisdiction of
the A. s. of f. and we further recon-
mend that the chairman of the county
union appoint a cmmittee too pre-
pare same pledge.
3. Your committee on resolutions
takes opportunity to express the hope
that all committees having control of
tobacco in Mclean county will confer
before making price or sales, within
our bounds.
4. We, your committee, realizing
the indifference of many of our to-
bacco growers in the non-payment of
dues, and also in the work aud bust
ness of the organization, do recon-
mend that this body act as missionary
in behalf of the society to secure the
payment of dues and the performance

The Oklahoma Way.
I.ivia Ky.

The following report on an Oklaho-
ma bank failure shows the way they
do things in that commonwealth.
"rhe International Bank of Coal
gate was reported to the bank COM
missioner by one of his examiners a
few days ago for violating the bank
ing alw of the state, particularly in
its managing officers borrowing from
the depositors' money.
The bank commissioner at once
visited the bank in preson and found
that the total deposits were about
$4,000 of which the president, L..
A. Corners, owned over $4,000 and
the cashier, L. Elzey, owned over
$4,0O0-in other words, about thirty
per cent of the deposits had been
borrowed by the two managing Off
GERS. The bank commissioner de-
manded that they Immediately replace
the money. They failed to do So
He closed the bank at 2:15 Thursday
evening telephoned the state bank
ing board; received instructions to
Immediately proceed to pay all APP
proval deposits. In forty-two minutes
from the closing of the bank the
bank commissioner was ready to pay
approved deposits. BY Friday even
ing sixty per cent. of the depositors
had appeared, proved their money. BY
the end of the second day ninety per
cent. of all deposits had been paid. A
few depositors who live in the coun-
try don't seem to be in any hurry
about drawing their deposits. One far
mer is reported as answering over
the rural telephone that he is too
busy to come after his money but will
want it in week or so.
In the meantime both the pres
ident and the cashier have been ar
rested for the violation of the state
banking law. and are held under a
heavy bond.
There will probably be no loss to
the state guaranty fund, and no as
sessment required on other banks.
Liquidation will likely reimburse
the state fund within thirty days
The loss will probably not exceed the
capital stock.

A Warm PRAYER.

A white minister, after conflicting
services in colored church, called on
an old ceacon of the congregation to
lead in prayer. He offered a most
fervent appeal for the white preach
err as follows: 'Oh. Lord, glib him de
eye of de eagle, dat he may spy out
sin afar off. Put his hands to de gos-
pei pillow. Tie his tongue to de line OBJ
truth. Nail his ear to de gospel pole.
Bow his head waydown twix his knees
ia some lonesome, dark and narrow
valley whar prayer is much wanted to
be made. Noint him wild de kerosene
lie of salvation and, oh Lord literally
sot him on fire!"

 It is only a short time ago that MT. Butter wrote some "reminiscences If "Italy Fifty Years Ago which ap- peared in two parts in the Hartford Courant. The narratives were found ed on his personal recollections. MT Butler loved Italy and fought under the leadership of Garibaldi for United Italy and the severing of the Austrian yoke. and was wounded in one of the engagements
 In the early sos the family fortune was swept away by the absconding of Sudler, a London banker, who is one of Dickens characters in Little Dor rit" Mir. Butler found himself for the first time under the necessity of earn ing his own living, He left Italy in 1854 and went to Paris where Cor three years he worked as a journalist on some of the leading Parisian news papers From there he went pack ,G London, where he remainel long enough to enlist in the British army. but his relatives quickly purchased his release and he came to this country in 1857. He immediately allied Himself to newspaper work. For d time he was correspondent of the Indepen1- ent was writer on the Evening Post. and later was engagsd hy the late Charles A. Dana lon encyclopedia work. He became a warm f.iend of MT. Dana and often contributed U ihe editorial pages of the Sun. At the time of the opening of the Onion Pa- cific road he was MT Danas guest on the special train that went to Denver at the opening ceremony.
 s Mir. Butler came to Connectieur in 1S67 first to take charge of a school for boys, but having a disincllna.ion for pedagogic work came to New Ha- ven and for number of years was the editorial writer on the Palladium. He worked on other papers in this city

 MT. Butler went to Bridgeport about Is years ago, and most of that time he has been the editorial write:' on the Evening Farmer. His con'ri- buttons on political and relig ous topics always attracted attention.
 Before MT. Butler became infeebed with age he was a write of force and of polished style. rnc late Charles Dudley Warner, an authority on such matters. once said Of him that he was the finest writer of English in Connec- ticpt, He had an edtyclope,lic mind.

The funeral of Jane Hnman Lam bert was held from her old home, 16S Bradley street, where with the eXcep- tion of the last few years she lived since 1854 The storm of the day was in great contrast te the passing of her life, which was as the burning out of a candle. The storm exemplified the troubles and griefs of this world, which she has now escaped. And the snow seemed like Gods mantle laid on one of his disciples.
 Rev. Artemas ]. Haynes conducted the services and with feeling referred to her long life. her unfailing chari- ty and her steadfast faith Many of the same relatives attended who were present the day before at the funeral of Mrs. Susan Lambert, who with Mrs. Jane Lambert married brothers lived side by side for many years and died thirteen hours apart with only seven months difference of age.

EDW. BUTLER DEAD Was for Many Years Editorial
 Writer on the Bridgeport x Farmer.
MAN OF LARGE KNOWLEDGE
Born in Italy, He Graduated from Trinity, Dublin-Knew Many
 Prominent People.

Bridgeport, Jan. 26.-Edward Butler for many years editorial writer on the Bridgeport Farmer, died at the Bridge port hospital tonight of kidney troubles and heart disease.
 In the death of Edward Butler. there passes away a familiar face. and man of singular person llity and attachments, Those who understood him best know that death came to him as a great relief, for his impaired health, coupled with his ad- ranced age and his complete isolation made his latter days a burden well nigh unsupportable.
 His long life was devoted almost en- tirely to literary pursuits. There are few men in Connecticut who had a wider range of experience and, in his time enjoyed more extensive ac- quaintance with men and women of note.
 Mir. Butler was born in one of the Italian provinces of Lucca, November A. 1929, and the Italian tongue was the first that he spoke But MT Butler was Irish from both his paternal an l maternal side. His father was the high sheriff of County Carlo and a man of wealth and influence His mother was an O'Connor, and belong Ing to the distinguished family of that name in Ireland. Whether MT. Butler had brother or sister his intimate friends never knew, for he was never given to speak of his family, It was the fashion of the well-to-do class of Great Britain century ago to live n Italy in the cooler months of the year which accounts for his birth in Italy At an early age he graduated from Trinity college, Dublin.
 Most of his boyhood and early man. hood, was spent in Italy. where he lived upon terms of intimacy with many of the leading characters of that time. He was a constant guest at the home of Charles Lever, the novelist, in Florence. Among his intimate friends were the Duke of Yucca, his god-fath- CT, Mrs Summerfield. the mathemati- clan, the Countess Orrini, Rachel and Restori. He was also on terms of in- timacy with the Duke of Wellington,

The Edegwood avenue line was caught as it usually is much worse than the others On it large cars were run to be able 10 get through the big snow drifts in the vicinity of Edgewood park and everybody had to change cars at the green, for the line was not run through to City Point as usual All day the railroad trains were generally an hour late.
