IMPRESSED THE LITTLE ONE.
Department of Colored. Gentleman
Matter Of Admiration.

Little Elsie, who had recently re-
turned from a visit to Washington,
was describing to her companion some
OF the wonderful things she had OBJ
served in the Capitol City.
"One evening" said she, breathless-
ly, papa took me to have supper at
a grand hotel where the dining room
was awfully big, and at the tables
around us sat great senators and rep
representatives with their wives, all
drinking champagne"
Il suppose the manners Of these
great persons were perfect?" ventured
her companion, with widened eyes.
YES" returned Elsie. But she
added, with a sudden burst of enthusi-
asm, the department of the colored
gentlemen who served the wine was
perfectly beautiful"

Amid this pandemonium, and with
the galleries in full control Chairman
Lodge decided upon heroic action in
order again to make the convention
master of its affairs. He ordered the
roll call of states to begin for the
vote on president. Such a call, under
such circumstances of intense con-
fusion, has probably never before oc-
Cured in the history Of national con-
ventions. The secretary was power
less to make his call of the states
heard above the deafening clamor.
Selling a megaphone he shouted the
roll of states-Alabama, Arkansas
but his voice was swallowed up in the
mad uproar. Gradually, however, the
curiosity of the multitude conquered
their enthusiasm, and they lapsed into
silence to hear the result OF the roll
call.
A hush of expectancy hung over
the assembly as the call proceeded.
Hasty summaries showed that Taft
was far in advance. When New York
was reached the Taft column totaled
427. Ohio carried the Taft total to
511, or 20 more than enough to nom
mate. Still the call went on until the
final result was announced by Chair
man Lodge:
For Theodore Roosevelt, votes
for Joseph b. Foraker OF Ohio 16
votes; for Charles w Fairbanks OF
Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph Cannon
OF Illinois, 81 votes; for Robert La Fol
lette OF Wisconsin, 20 votes; for
Charles +. Hughes OF New York, GO
votes; for Philander G.. Knox OF Penn
sylvania. 6s votes, and William H. Taft
of Ohio. 702 votes.
A great shout went up as Lodge
concluded his announcement, and with
one accord the cohorts OF Cannon and
Knox and Hughes and the other
heroes, joined in a common tribute for
the candidate OF the party.
Sherman for Second Place.
The nomination for the vice-presi.
dency was not made until Friday
When the convention adjourned for
the day Thursday the situation re.
garding second place on the ticket was
decidedly unsettled, but before the del.
egates met Friday an arrangement had
been perfected for the Taft delegates
TO support Representative James s
Sherman Of New York as the running
mate of the secretary OF war.
Three names were placed in nomi
nation when the chairman announced
that nominations were in order. Sher
man was named as New Yorks choice
by Tim Woodruff, former lieutenant
governor of the state; Gov. Curtis
Guild Of Massachusetts, was placed in
nomination by Senator Lodge, and Xxx
Gov. Franklin Murphy OF New Jersey
was named by Thomas N. McCarter
Several brief seconding speeches were
made for each candidate.
When the roll call was begun II was
soon seen that Sherman was the popu
lar choice OF the delegates. When
enough votes had been cast to insure
his nomination Senator Crane oil
Massachusetts moved that II be made
unanimous and IL was carried with q
shout of approval.
The usual motions of acknowledg
ment 10 the officers OF the convention
and to the city in which II was held
were then paeeed

Six Men Have Rabies

AS the result of an epidemic of ra-
bies among the livestock on the farm
of Tracy B. Lowry, near Saranac, six
men are in the University hospital in
Ann Arbor, and one of them is in a
critical condition with the disease. The
men are
Peter Lowry, son of the proprietor
OF the farm, the one worst affected;
Tracy B. Lowry, Bruce Lowry, anoth-
err son; Alvan Rising, an employe at
the farm DR.. Randall Taylor, veteri-
nary; o. X. Kenney, butcher.
The origin of the epidemic, the
source of the contagion is not known,
but as there have been several mad
dog" cases in the vicinity 1t is natur-
ally believed that one of the cattle
was bitten. II is declared that the
epidemic has affected even the fowls
on the place.
Kenney, the butcher, is in the hos
pital as a result of having bought the
hides of some of the cattle. which
were slain. The veterinary became af-
fected while treating the cattle, and
the others were inoculated while car
ing for the stock.

Roosevelt Demonstration.
The second day OF the Republican
national convention brought the long
expected Roosevelt YELL whirlwind OF
enthusiasm which ragged within the
vast amphitheater Of the Coliseum for
full 45 minutes Wednesday. and for a
time presented to the timid the spec
ter of Roosevelt stampede.
This demonstration was decidedly
the feature OF a day otherwise notable
for a stirring speech from the perma-
nent chairman OF the convention. Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge Of Massachu-
in placing the convention on a smooth
running basis, and for the final defeat
OF the plan to reduce the representa-
ton Of southern states at future ma
tional conventions.
Mr.. Lodge early In his address
launched his sentence which electri-
fed the assemblage into its first real
demonstration of wild enthusiasm.
The president" exclaimed Mr.
Lodge, "is the best abused and most
popular man in the United States to-
day"
This was the long awaited signal.
Instantly shout broke from the gal
leries and was echoed back from the
floor, at first only a tempest OF de-
tached yells, and cat-calls, and shouts
OF Teddy" but gradually gathering
force and volume until it swelled to a
whirlwind OF sound and motion. as
delegates and spectators rose en-
masse. mounting chairs. waving ban
ners. hats. handkerchiefs. flags, news
papers, anything which could be seized
upon to add turbulence TO the scene.
