Turbulent scene Follows.

The announcement of the vote was the
signal for a wild demonstration equalllnS
in turbulence, II not in duration. the rec
ord breaking display, which on wednesday
afternoon greeted the first mention Of
Bry ans name in the convention.
The scene within the ampitheater at the
moment the nomination was made was one
of stirring animation. From pit to dome'
the vast building was packed with 1000
people, thinned out in the remoter gallaries
after hours of waiting and the intense dis
comforts of the hot night. 1t was spec
tacle of grandiose proportions-tier on tier
and gallery on gallery Of agitated forms,
the women in white, the delegates, massed
below many of them coatless, a myriad OF
fans fluttering to combat the sitting heat
and close atmosphere Of this long pent UP
exuberent multitude, ever ready to spring
into feyerish outbreaks OF enthusiasm and
everywhere the blaze Of flags, bunting and
patriotic devices and the enyeloping folds
of old Glory.
Twice before the throng had been moved
into a mad estacy, first by the speech
placing the name Of Bryan in nomination,
and again when that of Governor Johnson
OF Minnesota was proposed, but these mani
festations paled before the eliminating OUT
burst Of emotion.
Crowd Rises h~nmasHe.
As the announcement Of the Nebraska's
nomination was made the whole assem-
blage arose cnmasse, waving flags hand
kerchiefs newspapers, hats and coats, any
thing and everything which hands could
Lay upon to wave aloft or hurl into the air.
while a bedlam Of sound poured from those
1000 throat5 in eXultant yels, cat calls.
Comanche war hoops with the added din
Of shrieking horns, the roar OF megaphonss
and the strains Of the band playing an ex-
ultant anthem.
When for moment order could be So
cured out OF this tempestuous chaos OF
demonstration, state after state which had
at first recorded It's vote for Johnson or
Gray fell into line with the over master
ing Bryan column, and the nomination was
made unanimous and by acclamation.

BOWERS.

After forty years / have again stood upon the
beach at Bowers and listened to the mon otonOus
swash. swash,' swash, OF the incoming tide.
Bowers that was, in my knowledge, an insignii-
cant place.-except on big Thursday, lis now
quite little town, and in the summer months
and when the steamer Frederick is plying be-
tween Frederick and Philadelphia, does quite a
shipping trade to the latter port, it being on the
direct route There are but few now living here

there are many characters whom l recall some
Of them now dead, and others removed to other
places Charles Boone, surnamed "BOozer' is
well remembered, not only by me, but by every
one hereabout, as he is now living, and, under
stand, makes periodical visits to this place.
"Boozer" used to be one OF the principal fishermen
at this point, and was famiiiary known as the
"Ananias Of Bowers Beach and Frederick"
He married the daughter OF Peter Bonter the
only tavern keeper at Bowers at that time and
his nature was so constituted and his ideas so big
that he came near, al one time, owning the
who of Bowers-in his own estimation. Boozer
subsequently removed to Philadelphia and en-
gagged in the newspaper agency business, and my
informant thought, from his actions, he Owned
all of the newspaper agencies in the city.

Anthrax.

As the season for the onset Of
Anthrax approaches, the Delaware
State Board of Agriculture feels it
incumbent on it to remind the farm
ers of the infected districts that they
should, by all means. arrange to
have their animals vaccinated. The
Board has arranged with the Agri-
cultural department of Delaware
College again to furnish vaccine free
to all. and as the State pays the
larger part of the cost OF vaccination,
leaving only a nominal fee to be
paid the vaccinator by the owner, 1t
would seem that, other things being
equal, owners should not hesitate to
vaccinate early, and thus head off
the disease.
The loss Of one animal, be it ever
so valueless, would more than pay
the cost of vaccinating all, to say
nothing of the resultant increase OF
infection on the farm.
tits only by the hearty cooperation
of the farmer with this board, that
Roadway against the disease can be
made. If left to go unchecked the
disease will eventually spread over
not only this entire State, but will
spread to adjoining territory in
which the disease is now unknown.
This will not only reflect upon the
good name of the state, but will, in
time, cause a quarantine against our
live stock, causing us heavy losses.
While the disease is not easily eradi-
Gated, it can be controlled by annual
and prompt burial OF
carcasses.
The very favorable results of vac
cination obtained last year, can be
obtained this year. Of the 2150
of all ages, including horses,
cattle and sheep, that were vacci-
mated, only 7 died, several months
after vaccination. The morality is
thus seen to be less than One-third
of one per cent. No animals died
from vaccination, nor were there
even dangerous swellings. Surely
you could not ask for better results
than these Last season the first
cases occurred about the middle OF
March, owing to the spring-like
we had at that time. Should
the same weather come again this |
spring, we may expect another early
visitation. Hence, the Board adj
vises early vaccination, say about
February 18th or March 1st. Make
your arrangements with the veteri-
marian of your district now, so he
can get in his order for vaccine. DO
not wait for the animals to begin |
dying. Take up the matter now.

ever has been taken. If business inter
ests of Haiti are to be the ground for
Intervention il is said that Germany
would be the one to step in and restore
order. as German interests there far out
weigh all others. The fact that the
Haitians have not made any request for
Intervention is regarded as a most I'M
pCrtant reason why this country would
hesitate to take any initial step in bring
ing about Intervention. No definite policy
exists here in relation to Haiti. because
it is only by conjecture that the future
OF affairs on that island can be deter
mined.
If necessary American bluejackets will
be landed to protect American interests
that are jeopardized or in case American
citizens need protection.
Men of Both Parties in Army.
j. n Leger, envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary to Washington
from the republic of Haiti, said this
morning he had received no official ad
vices of the progress of the revolution
in his country. but had read the press
dispatches. When asked what effect
the success of the revolutionary army
would have on his status as minister
to this country, Mr.. Leger said:
The revolutionary army is composed
of men belonging to both the liberal
and conservative parties. When the
provisional government is organized
arrangements will be made to hold an
election and my remaining here Will
depend upon the result of the election.
l belong to the liberal party, and If
that party is successful at the polls if
is likely that I will be reappointed to
this post.
Mr. Leger further explained that the
revolution was directed against the
regime of President Nord Alexis, and
not against any particular party.
What do you think of Cen Anterne
Simon's chances of being elected presi-
dent Mr. Leger was asked.
That is something you cannot fore
tell was the reply.
He was asked whether the victorious
revolutionary general was liberal or
a conservative.
He is 4 soldier" was the response.
He explained that Gen. Simon might
ally himself with either party when the
time comes for the new congress to
elect a president.
Gen. Simon's Chances Good.
1t is believed pretty generally in dlpio-
matte circles here that Gen. Simon, whose
popularity with the people has been grow
ing ever since he began to make sue
cess of his campaign, will stand good
chance of being chosen president by the
congress to be elected in the near future.
1t is also believed, however, that he will
be opposed by Gen. Lesitime, who was
chosen president of the provisional gov
rnment yesterday by the provisional lead
ers Another candidate may be Gen.
Canal. who engineered the election OF
Gen. Legitime.
