Special to the Herald
Chicago, H., June 17.-Chairman
Lodges reference, in his speech, to
President Roosevelt started wonder
full round of cheering for the presi-
dent. To many it looked like the
threatened stampede to Roosevelt.
Lodge tried in vain to stop the dem
onstration, the bands played and ev-
cry effort was made to get the con-
vention in hand, but nothing seemed
able to drown the cheers. When the
noise subsidized slightly the crowd
caught sight of Mrs. Alice LongWorth
and the demonstration broke out
afresh. Some one on the floor raised
a huge Teddy bear, and the conven-
ton fairly went wild The leaders for
the opposition candidates did their ut
most to continue the demonstration.
The crowd yelled time and again
Four more years" Texas led in the
demonstration. The excitement last
ed almost one hour, and may mean
stampede to Roosevelt in spite of the
leaders.

Chicago, June 1.-THE committee
on permanent organization reported
Senator Henry c. Lodge of Massachu-
sets for permanent chairman. The
speaker took the chair and delivered
a speech. He began by saying:
Gentlemen of the Convention:
Il thank you most sincerely for the
great honor you have done me in
choosing me to preside over your de-
alterations. For it is a great honor to
be the presiding officer of a republi-
can national convention. l can con-
cefve of conventions have indeed
heard of conventions where the honor
of such a post as that now occupied
by me is dubious, and where, if ex-
citement is present, pleasure is con-
spicuous in it's absence. But to be the
presiding officer of a republican con-
yention is ever a high distinction to
which no man can be insensible. Cen
tlemen of the convention, again l
thank you
i shall not delay or detain you with
many words Your resolutions will
set forth the principles of the party
and declare the policies upon which
WI shall ask for the support of the
Z = y
people of the United States. With
fIIness and with eloquence, your tenn

YOU account of what has been done,
and has set forth what we hope and
mean to do. My duty is merely to
aid you, SO far as I can, in the orderly
and prompt transaction of the bust
ness which has brought us together.
That business is Notwithstanding
less than to name here the two men
who, speaking with the simplicity of
truth, will be the next president and
vice president of the United States
In order to win for them, and for our
party, an assured as well as merited
victory, we must defeat our oppo-
nents, whose exclusion from power is
desired by the country and deserved
b! them.
following these Introductory re-
m rks the speaker launched into an
extensive review of the history and |
of his party.

Too Interesting to Bury.

There is a certain little southern
girl who is very fond Of her negro
NANNY. The nurses name is Sally,
and she is large woman, so she is
known as Big Sally. Ethel, however,
calls her "Biggie" for short. One day
her mother took her to museum,
where, among other things, there were
some stuffed animals. Ethel was
greatly interested, and for many days
she did not tire Of talking about them.
Perhaps week later at the supper
table. after preoccupied silence. she
said:
Mamma, when Biggie dies I'm not
going to have her buried; I'm going to
have her stuffed"

St Petersburg, Sept. 10.-The news papers of Russia appear today almost without exception with TOlstOi jubilee numbers.

Many articles are naturally phrased in terms of eXtravagant adulation, but in general the criticisms are discrimin- taining and just

 The fame of this novel. the paper says, never can be destroyed by the authors later attacks on nationalism. As regards the counts later moral and philosophical writings, the tone is either lukewarm or cOndemnatOry. The count considers his earlier romances insignificant when compared to his later philosophy.
 No special celebration of the anni- versary is being held in St. Peters burg today. The school authorities re- fuse to permit memorial exercises in the city institutions and all attempts to decorate houses or exhibit portraits or busts of the count have been frown- ed On.

EXCURSION OVER A. & C.
 TO COLORADO RIVER
Trains to Be Run From Both Phoe-
 nix and Prescott.

The s. F.. P. & P. is making ar engagements for a business mems ex- cursion from Phoenix and Prescott over the A X c. to Parker and the Colorado river on October I7-lS. liar ry B. Kohl of the traffic department was in the city yesterday from a trip to that section where he found the people enthusiastic over the pros poets of a big invasion of visitors.
 The citizens of those parts are planning to give a free barbecue. have sports; band concerts and other events to make the day lively. The hunting and fishing will also be good at that time and by the excellent schedule ar ranged nimrods and gunners will be given -an opportunity to follow their favorite sport
 According to the arrangements a special tram will leave Phoenix Sat urday night, October 17th. and an- other will leave Prescott about the same time. Both trains will meet at the A. X c. junction and will be coupled up and go on to Parker, ar irving there about o'clock The trains will be made up of tourist sleepers and day coaches aEd the charge will be nominal so ay to en- courage a large crowd of travellers.
 The special will leave Parker at about o'clock in the afternoon Sun day and the Phoenix section will ar rive home about o'clock On the return trip stops will be made at the different stations long enough for the visitors to look around and get ac- quainted with the surroundings. A baseball game is on the tapis, either between Phoenix and Prescott at Par ker or between one of these hines and the Indian team at Parker There is a good baseball diamond and a back stop so that the national pastime could be pulled off in grand style. By October the weather will be just right for such a trip and it will be great outing. Sometime in the morning the train will pull down to the river so that all may have a chance to view the new bridge.
 General Agent Goldsworthy reports that he has received very encouraging word from Phoenix business men and citizens and thinks that a large num- Der will take advantage of the special eNCuiS Sioll lo NlSlI lHdl SeCll9H. Ine travel out of Prescott is likely to be very heavy as but few from the Pine city have had the chance to see the new country just opened up by the A. & c. With a barbecue, picnic parties. fishing. hunting. sports base ball and Indian band music. Sunday. October IS, can be made a gala occa- sion. The people along the A & c. have promised their hearty co-opera- tion.
