this morning. On his plea of guilty
to the concealed weapon charge, Nc
Goldrick was fined s25; the disor-
derly conduct complaint was dis
posed of with fine of $40, and he
was held in $500 bonds to keep the
peace on the charge preferred by Pa
trolman Quinn.
McGoldrick, according to Patrol

New York, Aug. 16:-Vice-P Presi-
dent Sherman was today elected as
temporary chairman of the republi-
can state convention, which meets
in Saratoga September 81, by the
republican state committee. A mo-
ton by Lloyd Driscom, chairman Of
the New York County Committee,
that Colonel Roosevelt be substitut-

Sherman's choice was then made

William Barnes, Jr., that he was
sure Driscom had proposed Roose-
velt's name without the knowledge
or consent of the latter. The fight
was one of the most spirited in the
republican state committee in years.
Five minutes after he had been

car that leaves this citv niobt1.
snortly pefore O'Clock, are congrat-
ulating themselves on their escape
from being struck by a fast north
bound express train at the Central
railroad crossing last night. Tho
car had started across the tracks.
When warning cry escaped one Of
the passengers and the vehicles di-
rectlon was reversed, allowing the
train to pass with scarcely five feet
intervening.
passengers on the car declare the
gateman at the crossing was to
plane for the affair. He failed to
loWer his gates, 1t is alleged. and
the conductor, believing the tracks
clear, crossed the tracks threw the
derailing switch, and motioned the
motorman to proceed.
When the car was half way over
the railroad tracks the fastly ap-
preaching express was seen a few
hundred feet away. Level-headed-
ness on the part of the motorman
was probably all that saved the oc-
cupants of the car from death. In
stead of jumping from the platform
and making escape sure, he re-
matned at his post, reversing the
cars direction and bringing 1t to
safety by the narrow margin of less
than five feet.
only a week ago four persons In a
carriage narrowly missed death at
the crossing. 1t is claimed by the
police that the gater1an at the Smith
street crossing is incapable and
should be removed from SO RESPONSE
Bile position. The previous occur
renee is also blamed to him.

Why Snow L. White7

The pure white luster of snow Is due
to the fact that all the elementary col
ors Of light are blended together in the
radiance thrown off from the surface
of the crystal. 1t Is quite possible to
examine the individual snow crystals
in such way as to detect these sew
eral colors before they are mingled to-
gether to constitute the compound i'm
preston of Wilderness upon the eye.
The soft Wilderness of the snow Is also
in some degree attributable to the
large quantity of air entangled amid
the frozen particles. Snow Is COM
posed of great number of minute
crystals. more than a thousand dis
tinct forms of which have been emu
merated by various observers. These
crystals and prisms reflect all the COM
pound rays of which white light con-
sists. Sheets of snow on the ground
are known to reflect beautiful pink
and blue tints under certain angles OF
sunshine and to fling back so much
light as to be painful to the eyes,
