Political Gathering.

Marching Delegations Parade
Through the Halls.
President Kavanaugh Delivers
His Annual Address.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 30.--The delay
in the arrival of President Taft post
poned the opening of the Lakes to the
Gulf Deep Waterways convention until
nearly noon today. But as soon as
President WerHn's gavel fell the pre-
arranged program moved with celebrity.
The standards of states. marking on
the floor of the Athenaeum, the conven-
ton hall the locating of delegates, made
the hall look like the assembling of a
political convention. The arrival of
marching delegations with bands of mu-
sic added to the illusion. Texas, with
a noisy crowd. seemed to attract most
attention until the delegates from Mis-
souri, got the middle of the aisle. Then
the "show. u.s. and the I'VE will show
you represent atives were the center of
attraction for while.
Following Mayor Behrmans address of
welcome, President Kavanaugh of the
waterways association delivered his an
Eual address. Then came the appoint
nient of committees. the address of the
secretary, e. w. Sanders and the intro
duction OF resolutions followed by an

His Ono Ambition.
Natchez, Miss. Oct 30.-In his
speech here President Taft had this
to say regarding the long journey
which he is now finishing:
I undertook the trip in order that

Il am ending the trip and / am
glad to end it by another visit to my
friends of the south.

Parsimony and Thrift.

That there is a decided difference
between parsimony and thrift is
shown in the following incident: A
business man boarded an uptown
trolley car recently and handed the
conductor quarter. which showed by
its shining surface that it was fresh
from the mint The conductor in re-
turning the change remarked, 81 shall
keep this for my slot meter" Cur
ious to learn why special coin was
required for the meter, the passen-
ger questioned the conductor and was
informed that he had discovered that
a new quarter dropped into the meter
gives a greater supply of gas than one
which has been in use. owing prob
ably to the fact that its weight is
slightly greater than that of one
which has become worn through pass
ing through many hands. This is an
example of thrift as contrasted with
the parsimony of the proprietor Of a
quarry, where a laborer was blown
high into the air by the premature ex-
plosion of a blast, but, falling into a
soft bed of clay and finding himself
more frightened than injured. the
man took up his crowbar and started
| to work again. On pay day he discov-
cred, to his surprise, that his parsi-
monious employer had "docked" him
for the time he was off the job in
his upward fiight.-Philadelph

First Delegate Political Gathering
Ever Held in New York.

New York, Oct. 30.-One thousand
delegates regularly elected at conven-
lions held in every one OF the 63 assem-
bly, districts Of Greater New York,
completely filled the floor of Carnegie
hall last night at the first women's po-
litica1 convention ever held in New
York city. Mrs. Clarence Mackay pre-
sented the platform, which was sub
sequently adopted. Peaceful as was the
purpose of the convention there rested
in adjoining cloak rooms $50 policemen
with night sticks in their belts. No call
for their services was made.
After affirming the equality of the
sexes the platform as adopted de-
handed:
Amendments to state and national
constitutions permitting women to
vote; amendments to the city charter
requiring one-third of the board of edu-
cation to be women; compensation for
all civil service employees, including
teachers by position and not by sex;
and an amendment to the state civil
service law prohibiting the exclusion of
any citizen from any examination by
reason of sex.
