A young man and his wife, accom-

and girl. entered street car and
sat down on one of the side seats.
The girl was beauty, while the little
boy, with strongly marked features
and freckled skin, was quite the op-
posite.
Directly across the aisle sat two
ladies, evidently a mother and daugh-
ter. The younger of the two looked
critically at the children, Then she
scrutinized the parents. Then she
turned to the elder lady, smiled, and
made whispered remark. The young

Electricity In Arabia.

New light on Arabia is being shown
by the installation of modern elec-
trio plant in the palace of the sultan
at Oman, This Ia the first instance
of the operation of electricity Of any
sort in that country. The Innovation
was brought about by an electrical,
promoter from Hyderabad, India. He
also has obtained permission to oper-
ate commercial lighting and power
plant. and will proceed to erect the
buildings at once. One set of ma
chimes will be run at night and the
other In the day, principally for the
purpose Of propelling fans. Electric
fans are welcome in Arabia. Fans are
badly needed, for the old methods Of
"punkah-pulling" had been compli-
Gated by the difficulty in obtaining
energetic pullers. Power will be fur
nished by oil engines, and direct cur
rent will be used. All equipment
probably will be Of German manufac-
ture. One of the recent purchases
made at Cairo, Egypt, by the sultan
of Label. an Arabian sultanate. is an
electric dynamo to be installed at his
highness's palace at Label, eighteen
miles northwest of Alden. .!'t

MEANS A NEW PARTY,
SAYS GOV. JOHNSON.

CHICAGO. June 20. Gov. johnson
reached the Florentine room n few
minutes after Mr.. Roosevelt had fin
ished his address TO the delegates early
this morning. Many were leaving the
room when no entered. but a score OF
men seized him and rushed hun to q
table. Immediately the room filled up
again with delegates.
Gentlemen" Gov. Johnson began,
you have heard what We are going to
do tomorrow. We are going to stop
dilly-dallyins with this robb!ng conven-
ton. We are going In there to fight,
and we are prepared for the birth OF a
new Republican party which will NOM
mate for President, Theodore Roose-
Welt"
And he will be elected" was shouted
in chorus from the delegates.
As Gov johnson proceeded some one
In the crowd shouted the name OF
"Hadley"
A mingled roar Of cheers and Misses
greeted this. but quiet was soon re-
stored and Gov. Johnson proceeded:
This new party which is inevitable
win be an honest party. a party that
will not countonance robbery, thlevery
and dishonesty such as we have ex.
pcrlenccd mere"
The news of Roosevelts declaration
provoked a scene OF Wild disorder In the
