The West Union Chautauqua held
last week was great financial success
as balance of $245 is in the hands OF
the treasurer after all expenses have
been paid. The receipts from the lee
lures of w. J. Bryan amounted to
$3.50 and they paid him $455 for two
lectures, hence the society realized
1896 OH his work but would have had a
deficit of $3.50 without him. They paid
Congressman Watson, of Indiana, $l25
but the receil is of his lecture were
but $46, and yet some people continual
ly criticise and misrep resent Mr.. Bry-
an who never fails to attract crowd
and earn money for his employers.
And it rained on Bryan's iecturrs too.

ACTUAL NOMINATION A SURPRISE
TO COMMITTEE.
New Complexion to Incident Given b,
State Chairman.
ship.

New York. Aug. 26.-The confer
ence at Sherry's on the night before
the Republican state committee meet
ing in which Vice President Sherman
was chosen temporary chairman Of the
Republican convention has assumed
still another complexion. Timothy l.
Woodruff, state chairman, in state
ment given out from Republican state
headquarters, puts the responsibility
for the committee squarely up to
Lloyd G. Griscom, president of the Re-
publican county committee, and fatty
denies that he had even an intima.
ton of any plan to present the name
of Colonel Roosevelt to the committee
until Mr.. Griscom made the actual
nomination.
Mr.. Woodruffs Statement follows:
Nothing has transpired since the
meeting of the Republican state COM
mittee nor anything that has been said
since then should mislead anyone as
to the conditions or the situation
which then existed.
"In accordance with the precedent
established two years ago, in the se-
lection of Senator Root as temporary
chairman of the state convention,
and some of those who have been as
ISOLATED with me in the management
of the Republican party through the
two last political campaigns. met the
night before the meeting of the state
committee and after the consideration
of several names. decided to present
to the committee the name of Vice
President Sherman as temporary
chairman. selection which we had
every reason to believe would be high
ly satisfactory to the Republicans of
the state.
Mr.. Grlscom Makes Mistake.
Much to my surprise and entirely
without warning, Mr.. Griscom, who sat
in the committee as a proxy and who
had been in the state committee rooms
for nearly an hour before the meeting
without saying word to me about it,
moved to substitute the name of Mr..
Roosevelt for that of Mr.. Sherman,
with full knowledge which everyone
had had all the morning that MAORI
ty of the committee were committed to
Vice President Sherman's selection.
What Mr.. Griscom's motive was In
placing Mr.. Roosevelt in the position
of being defeated could not then COM
prehend nor is it important to discuss
1t now.
President Taft was in no way. in
volved in this matter. as the members
of the state committees acted entire
ly within their authority in selecting a
temporary chairman without. as far as
know, single one of them consult
ing with him about it, but, in view of
the apparent affront to Mr.. Roosevelt
caused by the action of Mr.. Griscom,
felt called upon, as chairman of the
committee. to send letter of explain
alton to Mr.. Roosevelt. which l have

1t seems to The Express that Teddy
has dwelt too long On his deliverance
on American politics. Had he handed
US package of any kind upon his ar
rival, or shortly after, indorsing or re-
pudiating the administration, it would
have carried weight, as a decision
based upon the right and wrong of the
matter. But he waited until his ukase,
when he issues it, may sound as if he
were sore from recent knockouts and
trying to get even. If 'twere we'll do

here Thursday of Charles w.

death. He is survived by his widow
and three grown children, all nu-
married His son, DR.. ]. w. Thomas,
who has been attending him, will
start Monday on a tour of Europe,
and while there will visit the clinics
in London, Paris and Berlin, and

HAS SOME
OF ITS TAIL
LEFT YET
COMET HAS FIFTEEN MILLION
MILES OF CAUDAL TO KEEP
THE FLIES OFF ITSELF WITH,
BUT EARTH WILL TICKLE IT'S
TAIL MAY 1S.

Berkeley, Calf, May 6.-First
authentic calculations as to the dis
tance the tail of Halleys comet will
extend beyond the earth when the
sphere passes through it on May 1S
was made public today at the Stu
dent Observatory, University of
California
The length Of the tail is estimated
at 100000 miles. The earth will
pass through the tail at distance
of 100000 miles from the comet
and therefore will bisect the tail
with approximately a million miles
of it to spare.
Photographs of the comet and tall
taken regularly every morning indl-
cate that the tail is .15 degrees long,
which corresponds to 100000
miles.
For few days from now on, the
comet will be at its best, before in
ferior conjunction on May 1S. The
comet is being photographed regu-
larly at the students observatory
when the weather conditions are IA
vorable. Yesterday morning w. F.
Meyer, students assistant, estimated
the length of the tail in spite of the
slight haze to be 10 degrees to the
naked eye. On a plate secured by
Meyer, the tail extends to the edge
of the plate which makes it's length
on the plate 10 degrees. This shows
+its real length is at least Is degrees,
which corresponds to about 10000
600 miles. The tail will therefore
undoubtedly. extend beyond the
earth on May 18 at inferior conjunc-
ton.

fifteenth day of acute fasting today.
Water is the only substance that has
passed his lips since he started to
starve himself. He was at his studio
yesterday and worked all day. Up
to yesterday he had walked fifteen
blocks each morning from his home
to his studio, but owing to an in
creasing weakness he was compelled
to ride to work today He says he
has absolutely no desire for food,
and that he will continue the fast un-
til his appetite returns.
1t was suggested that he might
collapse from weakness before this
happens, but even this, he says, will
until his second hunger returns.

theories and she consequently broke
her fast yesterday. Mrs. Phoebe
Bingham, another member of the
starvation cult, has tasted since sun
day, and expects TO go without food
