enunciated the keynote of his platform in two sentences. They are:
 The man who formulated the ex- pression of the popular conscience and who led the movement for practical reform was Theodore Roosevelt"
 The practical, constructive and def mite work, therefore, of those who fol low Mir Roosevelt is to devise the ways and means by which the high level of business integrity and obedi- ence to law which he has established may be maintained and departures from it restrained without undue in- reference with legitimate business.
 Judge Taft's address was delivered on the lawn of his home here to an au- dience composed of the members of the notification committee and other prominent Republicans from all parts of the country.
 The address. containing about twelve thousand words, was devoted to discussion of President Roose- velt's work. of railroad and trust regu- lation. of tariff reform, of labor and the use of injunctions in labor dis putes, of monetary reform. of the Phil ippines, Porto Rico and Cuba, of the army and navy, of the negro, of cam paign contribution publicity and con cluded with a plea 10 independent Democrats to come over to the Re publicans.
 MT. Taft said in part:
 Senator Warner and Gentlemen of the Committees: l am deeply sensible of the honor which the Republican National Convention has conferred on me in the nomination which you formally tender l accept it with full appreciation of the responsibility it imposes.
 "Gentlemen. the strength of the Re publican cause in the campaign at hand is in the fact that We represent the policies essential to the reform of known abuses. to the continuance of liberty and true prosperity, and that We are determined, as our platform unequivocally declares. to maintain them and carry them on. For more than 10 years this country passed through an epoch of material develop ment far beyond any that ever oc- cured in the world before In it's course certain evils erept In.
 Chief Difference in Platforms.
 "The chief difference between the Republican and the Democratic plat forms is the difference which has heretofore been seen between the pol icies of MT.

SHERIFF MAKES HARD FIGHT Hanged and Shot Full of Bullets Ia Fate of Black Who Attempted to
 Assault White Woman.

Pensacola. Fla-Three men dead and score wounded, some probably fatally. is the record of an attempt Wednesday night by mob to storm the county jail and take out the negro. Leander Shaw. who Wednesday as- saulted Mrs. Lillian Davis near here.
 The mob numbered probably a thou sand persons and gather early. but there was no apparent indication that the crowd. which completely surround. ed the jail. contemplated making rush until nearly two hours later.
 The first indication was when a rail road iron was brought into play by about dozen men upon the iron gate of the jail yard At the same moment the entire mob seemed to catch the spirit. and. with yells and curses. dashed for the jail entrance. Some climbed over the tall iron fence while others hammered upon the gate.
 The sheriff. with half dozen depu. ties, stood in windows upstairs with drawn revolyers and riot rifles. The sheriff pleaded with the mob. at the same time telling them he would de- fend the prisoner at the cost of every life present.
 His words had no effect, and the moment the first blow was struck on the gate, yolley of shots flashed from the upper windows of the jail. This was answered by the crowd. which poured volley after volley into the jail windows wounding two deputies The mob was momentarily driven back, with many wounded and one dead, as a result of the deadly aim Of the sheriff and his deputies.
 At midnight the mob, which had in the meantime been reinforced by many residents of the surrounding country, made another attack upon the jail. After H. C. Kellum. a street car conductor, had been killed and four or five deputies wounded dur ing the attack, the sheriff and officers were ovfrpowered by some of the men whd had crept over the rear wall and covered them With rifles and re- volvers. Others brb bke down the cell door and took Shaw out. The negro was carried to the center of the plaza and hanged to an electric light pole, after which fully 500 shots were fired into his dangling body.
 At l o'clock this .(Thursday) morn ing everything is quiet and the mob has dispersed.
 The fatally wounded are:

DEMAND HIS THRONE
TO PREVENT SULTAN FROM YIELDING GROWN TO SON.
RULER IS WILDLY ChEERED
Demonstrations Have Scarcely Ceased Since the Granting of a Const-
 ton.

ntinople-Reshid Effendi, a brother of the sultan made demand upon the ruler Monday for the transfer of the throne to him. The demand was made to forestall the Sultan in his reported plan to yield the throne to his son. Burhan Ed Din, who is 18th in line of succession.
 Burhan Ed Din Is the Sultan's fifth child, and is only 21 years old. He is the Sutan's favorite, and for some time it has been rumored that he had been chosen for speedy succession to the throne. despite the violation of all precedent that such action would involve.
 Effendi Is Popular.
 Reshid Effendi Is immensely popu- lar with the soldiers, and if 1t devel ops that the Sultan plans to override the established order in favor of his son, his brother could easily procure a formidable backing to contend for the throne.
 Re,hid Effendi's demand has come as a dscordant note in the general re- joicing over the Constit ution just granted by the Sultan Today 100000 persons assembled before the Yildiz Kiosk and wildly cheered the Sultan and the Constitution.
 Demonstration for Sultan.
 Such scenes were never before wit messed in Turkey. The demonstra- tion was a continuation of that which began Saturday and lasted almost without interruption since then.
 In the shouts, parades, cheers and waving of flags and banners the scene resembled more demenstra- tion by some Western European power than by Turkey.

EVOLUTION OF STRING BEAN
HAS BEEN REMARKABLE
IN VARIOUS WAYS.

No plant has had q more remarkable
evolution than the common string bean
OF gardens. It has been transformed
from nat, strong favored, fbrous pod
that had TO be eaten very young 10 a
thick, fieshy pod that is quite devoid
OF string and can be used at any stage.
The Older beans practically all those
which have come TO us from Europe and
are grown as snap-shortsJ have a dis
tinctly stronger flavor than the newer
American varieties, They also have a
less fieshy. fiat pod with a fibrous mem
brane tknown among seedsmen as mus
linz and well-marked ''strings'' along
The lines OF union OF the two halves OF
the pod. The muslin Is less noticeable
as the season or location IS cooler. and
thus this type OF bean, grown from Phil
adelphia southwark, does not begin 70
compare IN quality with the same bean
grown noTthward- At the same time
these tougher varieties are largely
grown for market in the South, be
cause they stand shipping better. The
Europeans prefer the strong favored
type OF bean. but they gather the pods
while yet very small and tender.
