TEMPEST AT ELECTION.
Stormy Scenes Attend Elevation Of
Regain to Presidency by Hibernisns.

Stormy Scenes Attend Elevation of
Regain to Presidency by Hibernisns.
Portland, Ore, July 23.-James J..
Regain of st. Paul was elected presi-
dent of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans by @ majority OF twelve votes
over Matthew Cummings of Boston
after a most exciting session. The
vote stood: Regain, 169; Cummings,
157.
Cummings defeat vas caused by two
things-frst, the withdrawal of sup
port from the big Pennsylvania delega-
ton; second, the prevailing idea that a
Hibernian president should not serve
more than two years.
Scenes of widest confusion marked
the election of Hibernian officers. One
of the most exciting scene was when
Father O'Donnell Of Massachusetts In
timated that Regain had been approach
ed by the boss Of New York, who
aspired to the control of the hostile
Clan-na-gael. Father O'Donnelrs as
sertien hat a cloud rested ON the can
didacy Of Regain brought a storm of
applause from the Cummings support
ers and a roa of protest from the Re-
gan men. Nearly a half hour was re-
quired to reduce the conversion ever
to a semblance of order.

A Spiny Monster.

For sheer fetocity of appearance, un-
redeemed by any milder facial attri-
butes, a lizard called after "Moloch
horrid king" Moloch horridus Is pre-
eminent among reptiles. The body Of
this Australian reptile is so covered
with spines that, as it has been put,
nature seems to have endeavored to
ascertain how many spines could be
inserted On a given area. But, unlike
Its tutelary deity, who seems really to
have spelled himself Molech, the lizard
does not demand the blood of children.

Dazzling Ink.

Here is an actual instance of Rus
sian gallantry. A celebrated opera
singer, who once starred" In Paris,
received from a Muscovite prince a
handsome brooch set with diamonds.
But not wishing to accept a gift, the
motive of which might be miscon-
strued, she returned 1t with warn
thanks. The next day she received a
letter from the prince approving high
ly Of her decision. But the writing in
this letter had a singularly glistening
appearance, and it afterward trans
pired that the magnate had reduced
the returned diamonds to fine powder,
with which hea had besprinkled the
wet ink, and had thus insured the ac-
ceptance Of his homage.

ELECTED BY

Asbury Park, July 23:-Dr. w.

PATERSON
MEN TO DIE
IN THE CHAIR

Trenton, July 28:-The officials at
the state prison here are much ex-
ercised over the Sentence of Arthur
Rose and Peter Silverio, both of
Paterson, and who are to die in the
electric chair next month.
Silverio Is to die the week begin
ming August 6 and Rose the week
beginning August 13, and as both
dates are on succeeding Saturdays
the trouble arose. 1t has beer the
custom to sentence doomed persons
to be executed within a week begin
ming Monday and the deviation from
this rule in the case of these two
men has worried the officials.
Justice Minturn, who sentenced
both men, has been communicated
with on this question, but 1t is not
likely that a different date will be
set. for the law is clear on this sub
ject. Chapter 10 of the laws OF
1905. when the act subst ituting
electricity as a death penalty for
hanging provides that when a per-
son Is sentenced to death "the Judge
shall appoint a week for the execu-
ton to take place which shall not be
less than four weeks nor o thar
eight weeks from the time of the
execution"
Webster's definition of a week is
"a period of seven days, usually
from one Sabbath to another" n
as no person could be sentenced to
be put to death on a Sunday the
words "a week. is taken to be con-
strued that the Judge might name
any time for the. beginning of a
week.

Mr.. ENCLUND
QUITS CHURCH
AT PLAINFIELD

Plainfield, July ga large audi
ence attended the service at the Sal
walton Army tent Thursday evening,
it being the farewell service ten
dered Rev. Theodore Englund, of
the Swedish church, who is shortly
to leave this city for Fitchburg,
Mass. Before coming here, Mr.. Eng
lund was pastor of the Swedish
church in Perth Amboy, where he
has many friends.
The service was of a most inter-
esting and helpful nature from the
start. After the singing of several
gospel songs, Mr., Englund offered
prayer and the Swedish string band
played several selections and Miss
Anna Johansen sang a beautiful So
10 in Swedish.
Captain Hewitt, in introducing Mr..
Englund, spoke very highly OF the
Swedish people and told Of the
whole-hearted devotion and sacrifice
of the Swedish salvationists and how
in almost every city and town where
there is a Swedish corps that they
own their own buildings, mostly
paid for out of their earnings. He
said In losing Mr.. Englund that they
were not only losing a fellow work
er, but a personal friend.
Mr.. Englund in his remarks spoke
very highly Of the work OF the army
in this city and also of the city it.
self, Of its cleanliness and high
standard and that how the people
should live better lives because of
the helpful surroundings. His text
was, Come unto me all ye that Ia
Dor and l will give you rest" from
which he delivered avery helpful
and soul-stirring address. The SER
vice closed with the singing of
Jesus, Lover of My Soul" in men,
DRY of the Swedish officers who sang
that song as the Larchmont sank in
Long Island sound and eight of
them persisted on the Inflated boat.

BY WILLIAM II. BtNDts.
THE Commonplace.

THE COMMONPLACE.
Distance lends enchantment, "
one reminds us; while another, that
familiarity breeds contempt" 1t
seems to be a faculty of the human
mind to look beyond the immediate
environment and consider something
other better. Yet
I'm the mud and of things
There Away, Away something
sings"
Talking Perth Amboy" has be-
come the watchword with some of us.
1t Is an excellent remedy to bring
about disenchantment, and a good
antidote against feelings of contempt.
Nor Is 1t altogether to be regarded
as a business proposition, and in
dulged simply to enchance values in
which we may have a personal inter
est.
The truth of the matter Is that
there is something worth seeing,
something worth doing and some
thing worth being wherever we may
be. We often long for more favor
able conditions and greater oppor-
tunities, when half the time they
exist right under our noses. Espec-
tally is every community in need of
seers, men of visions, those who
have eyes and know how to use
them
Tell men what they know before;
Paint the prospect from their door"
The great differences in the world
after all are not SO much between
places as they are between people.
1t is what Is inside of us that makes
the differences in ife, not that which
surrounds. And yet most of us
blame environment for half the Ills
of life, and heap upon heredity the
other half. 1t was a wise man OF
many centuries ago who reminded
the world that there was nothing
new under the sun. But once In a
while is born a man, with a large
number of volts Of personality cours-
ing through him; and how new he
makes the world around US seem by
simply dressing up the common
place. With such a person 1t seems
different; and it is. He that hath
ears let him hear
