Rochester, N. Y, Sept. 16.-When
today, an hour later than the time
set, the credentials committee report
ed that there were no contests to be
submitted to the convention. Cheers
followed the announcement. Judge Al
ton B. Parker, permanent chairman,
was presented to the convention and
made an address. Not the least strik7
ing feature of the address was the
declaration that the Republican vice
presidential nomination was given to
Sherman as a concession to Wall
street for political contributions in
1906 when Sherman was chairman
of the congressional committee. "Ev-
idence is not wanting he said, "of
the set purpose of the leaders Of the
Republican party to continue their
securing funds from those whose int
crest is rather in preventing legisla-
ton or preventing enforcement of
law" Mr.. Parker charged the Re-
publicans with gross extravaganza
/
tion. He also told of the meeting be-
tween Hartman and Roosevelt at
Washington when the President is
alleged to have asked Hartman for
assistance in raising funds.
The platform adopted devotes con-
siderable attention to national poll
tics and candidates, heartily endors;
ing the national Democratic plat.
form and the national nominees, pay.
ing glowing tribute to both Bryan
and Kern. On state issues the plat
form denounces all Republican COVER
nors since the administration of Da-
vid B. Hill, and says that government
of the state by commissioners is only
another evidence of the Republican
policy of Capitalization and is in di-
rect opposition to the principles OF
government of the people.
After the adoption of the platform
Chandler was nominated for govern
or by reclamation, and Dix for lieu
tenant governor by acclamation.
For secretary of state, Whalen,
comptroller Glynn, and treasurer Hau.
ser were all nominated as slated.

AN EXCURSION TO
DAYTON FRIDAY NIGHT

Arrangements have been made for
the excursion train to Dayton Friday
night, so that Roswell and Pecos Val
ley people can see the big gas well.
The railroad company has given ord
ers for the train to leave Roswell at
seven o'clock that evening, and start
on the return at 10:30 p. m. That will
give an hour and half for the peo-
pie to go out and see the well. The
people of Dayton will provide rigs
free for all to ride out to the well,

PARSEVAL AIRSHIP
PARTIALLY COLLAPSED.

Berlin, Sept. 16.-The Parseval air
ship buckled in the air this morning
and came down in Grunevald near
Berlin. AT the time of the accident
the airship was racing with the Gross
balloon in the direction of Doretz,
where the Emperor was waiting to
see them. The Parseval ship struck
a squan which caused the interior
balloon to half collapse, and the ship
was brought to the ground without
injury to Major Parseval and his four
companions. Major Gross, whose bal
loon is of the semi-rigid type, did
somewhat better, but when the car
was near Pottsdam he found he was
losing ground against the wind and
he returned to the starting point.

2 1-2 miles. The railroad rate is one
and fifth fare for the round trip.
From Roswell it will be $235. This
is more than first anticipated, but is
considered reasonable charge, con-
sideri1g the special accommodation
and the fact that excursionists will
have no other expense on the trip.
The price of a rig out from Dayton
would ordinarily cost that much.

the addition of dainty entrees ard
salads.

~ HERE were individuals who re-
flected ideal virtues in other
periods, but were unable to null
tiply themselves, dying like Beatrice,
who took her beauty, as they carried
their moral excellences away with
them. The first Christmas dawned on
a world of selfishness and sin, and
dark with folly and cruelty There
was beauty for the few, slavery, pow
erty and starvation for the many,
death for the unwelcome child and
degradation for woman There were
$4,000 paupers in a population of
1,OOO,0OO in Rome. 1t was a period of
intellectual chaos, moral and social
desolation, and individual hopeless
ness. Into this gloom came the star
OF Bethlehem, beaming light, hope and
sympathy. The contrast between the
manger birth and the Christmas morn
that will dawn this week with it's
carols, songs, gifts, joy and gladness,
is the most striking contrast earth's
history holds
With that first Christmas childhood
became sweet and sacred, woman was
crowned queen of the heart and home,
and wretched found education, shelter
and sympathy, and the joy of gener-
osity became contagious AS the sun
rises earlier and fingers longer than
yesterday so the spirit of Christmas
will usher in the golden age of happi-
ness and good will. In the great pic
ture of Coreggio the light on the face
of the babe lends a glow to shepherd
and wise men. The Christmas spirit
lends a glow to all the instruments
and forces of society.
VYT HTLE humanity falls below the
w ideal, the effort to practice it
is not wholly nugatory The
drift of the world is upward" The
people are climbing. Interest in chill
dren is increasing. Woman is coming
to her own. Labor is entering the
reward of work. War is becoming
unpopular. Racial prejudice will hide
in shame. The Christ spirit is vic
torious. Gods good will becomes tri-
umphant in home, street and legis-
lative hall. The triumphs of the past
dictate new struggles for the future.
When Pericles gave his Grafton over
the Athenian dead, pointing to. the
graves, the great orator said: Their
silence is eloquent! These heroes ask
us to go and live for the city for which
they died. Thus past achievements
pledge us to fresh fidelity. Christ
mas asks us to lend the impulse of a
new love to home, school, street and
city; to be a friend of the friendleks,
a benefactor to some dumb beast ,or
dumb, eyes for the blind, springs Of
water for the thirsty, trees of shade
for the weary, food for the hungry,
refuge for the smitten.
Be an angel of mercy, bringing
peace on earth and good will toward
men," and thus hasten a Christmas
which will not simply come to-mor-
row, but will stay all the year.

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine

er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
