WILLIAM H. TAFT.

Mr. Shermans Friday morning. The
vice presidential candidate is a resi-
dent Of Utica, ~ Y. and has been a
member Of congress for nearly twenty
as one of the few matters of para.
Three features of the great conven-
ton stand out above the rest in hu.
man interest. One was the remarkable
demonstration of applause evoked by
the mention Of President Roosevelt's
name in a highly complimentary way
by the permanent chairman Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts.

Money Order Clerk Accused.

Patrick J. Messett, for many years
the trusted money order clerk in the
Scranton Pa, postoffice, has been re
manded in $4,000 bail there to answer
a charge of embezzling funds of the
Office. He was arrested on a specific
charge of embezzling a money order
for s142 given him by Postmaster Mat
thew Mcpherson, of Dickinson City
but it is alleged that an examination
of his accounts shows a shortage OF
at least $4,000

CONGRESSMAN SHERMAN OF
NEW YORK.

! This demonstration lasted forty-siI
minutes and is said to have broken the
time record for such things in Ameri
can politics. The cue for the enthusi
astic outbreak was Senator Lodges
remark during his opening address as
chairman when he said, 1.-THE presi
dent is the best abused and the most
popular man in the United States to.
day"
Another signal feature was the com.
mittee fight on the antiinjunction
plank, otherwise the proposed plank
for the platform which was designed
with view to expressing the admins
tration's disapproval of hasty court in
functions against the presumed rights
Of labor. The struggle resulted finally
in compromise, both sides yielding
In part, so that harmony might be pre-
served and the party go before the
people with a plank on this subject
calculated to conciliate the labor inter.
ests and at the same time not to be
construed as an unwaFranted attack
upon the federal judiciary.
The third feature in the group hers
set forth as markers for posterity for
the big Chicago convention was a neg
alive one-something that didn't hap
pen, though it was expected to happen
by many persons throughout the coun-
try and by not few Of the delegates
in the convention. This was the alb.
sence of the stampede" for a renomf F,
nation Of President Roosevelt against
the presidents expressed declaration !
that he would abide absolutely by the |
unwritten law that no president shall |
serve more than two terms. Mr.. Taft's |
nomination 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 further extension of power
within his grasp, was patriot enough
to put aside the prefer for his coun-
trys good. While. as stated, a mega
tive feature. this cannot be passed by
as one Of the few matters of para
mount force in the history OF the 1908

set Himself AHrs.

Wedding guests to the number Of q
score came to the little home at 51l
Greenwich street. Philadelphia. They
were the friends Of Nathan Presser
/ He was to have been married Sunday
evening to handsome and wealthy
Rose Schattenstein. OF 639 Grant
street. Allentown, and his friends had
come in gala dress to wish him god
speed and to go with him to Allentown
for the wedding.
But instead Of a place Of festival the
laughing visitors came suddenly upon
a house of sorrow. The bridegroom-to-
be had poured oil over his clo.Ses and
set match to them. A momSnt later
he had been found, q whirling pillar Of
fame. in his bedroom and conscious,
but shrieking in hideous agony. at the
Mt. Sinai hospital, a block away, the
man had died.
He removed the tank from an oil
stove, and after pouring the contents
over his clothing, went into the yard.
where he set himself on fire. When the
members OF his family found him he
was burned from head to foot and IN
conscious. At the hospital he was able
to tell the physicians he had sought
death by fire.
Twice before. when on the point OF
marrying Miss Schattenstein, he lost
the money he had saved for the occa. |
sion, Saturday night he said he was
disheartened and feared he could not
marry because his money was all tied
up in his business.

Taft at Ball Game.

New Haven, Conn, June "a. - As
wild a scene Of jubilatiOn and as pic
turesQue a mass of humanity as ever
had a setting on a base ball diamond
was that which the alumni of Yale
university presented as a greeting to
Secretary William H. Taft as he sat
with his class Of 70 In the stand on
Yale field to see the annual game be-
tween the Blue and the Crimson. His
cup Of happiness was filed to over
flowing, for not only was the crowd a
record-breaker in his honor and the
classes the noisiest ever in their
dances upon the green sward, but Yale
whipped her rival by the score Of
to Q in a game which was full of
better playing than either team had
shown this season.
AS an omen Of good luck, Secretary
Taft, marching with Judge HOLSTER
In the front rank Of his class and i'm
mediately following a band which con-
stantly played the stirring Yale airs,
and Aanked on either side by the Stars
and Stripes and the banner of the
class Of rs, marched twice around the
ball field in full view Of more than
$4,000 wildly cheering men and women.
and followed by the reunion classes
numbering several hundred young men
IN their fantastic and striking garb,
such as only active schemers can de.
wise and which have made Yale class
reunions so notable.

Williams Resigns As Minority Leader.

Williams Resigns As Minority Leader
Congressman John Sharp Williams, Of
Mississippi. resigned the minority lead
ership Of the house Of representatives
to take effect Dec. / next This an
nouncement is made by Congressman
H. d. Clayton, chairman Of the Demo.
cratic caucus. In resigning thus early
heis actuated, he says. by a desire to
give the minority ample time to con.
slider whom they want TO succeed him,
and also for the reason that if the next
house is Democratic the new speaker
whoever he may be, ought to have the
experience which the position of flooI
leader would give him during the short
session next winter.
