MaidS Will Cross Bats

The base ball fans of the city and
the general public as well will be
interested to know that plans are
on foot for another Merry Widow
vs. Old Maid" ball game, which will
take place in the near future.
Fitzgerald has had several games
of this kind in the past and they
have furnished SO much fun and
amusement, not only for themselves
but the players as well, that practi-
cally every everybody begins to
look forward to them for weeks
ahead of time. The boys are now
engaged in getting their costumes
in shape and we will possibly be
able within the next week to give
the lineup and the date of the game.

The credentials COMMITTEES report

national committee, favorable to Taft,
and was adopted, district by district,
without roll call. The only delegates

+ 1t was generally understood that
with the completion of the organiza-
tion, the Roosevelt people would de-
clare their position of -participa-
ton in further proceedings Of the con-
vention.
The report of the committee on per-
manent organization, recommending
that the temporary list Of officers
headed by Senator Root, be made per-
manent, was adopted.
Senator Root came forward amid
deafening noise of cheers, whistling,
bowling and other signs of approval
and disapproval.
The demonstration lasted several
minutes, Mr.. Root standing, smiling,
waiting for the noise to subside.
When at last it became quiet, Mr..
Root made a brief speech of thanks.
He introduced Henry J. Allen of Kan

session renominated William Howard
Taft of Ohio for president and James
Schoolcraft Sherman of New York for
vice president.
Taft Gets 561 Votes.
President Taft received SCI of the
1,078 votes in the convention, or Fl
more than majority.
The decision of the Roosevelt peo
pie, under the direction of their lead
er, to refrain from voting, left no
other candidate near the president.
The announcement of the Taft victory
was greeted with cheering from his
adherents and groans and Kisses
from the opposition.
When it became absolutely certain
that Mr.. Taft would be nominated
without great difficulty, the leaders
in control of the convention decided
to give him as a running mate his
companion on the ticket in 1908.
All others dropped from the race,
and Mr.. Sherman was the only can
didate regularly placed before the
convention. A motion from New
Hampshire to make the nomination
by reclamation was declared out of
order. There were many scattering
votes on the roll CALL.
The convention amid much confu-
sion then adjourned sine die.
Chairman Root announced call of
the roll of the states for nominations
for the presidency.
Alabama was passed. Arizon was ST.
lent. Down the list silence followed
the calling of each state until Ohio
was reached A cheer greeted the
state, and Warren G. Harding arose
to place President Taft IN nomina-
ton. Then it was discovered that
Iowa had forgotten to nominate Cum
Minis, and Root ordered that the state
be called again. Silence greeted the
second CALL for the Iowans had de
cided not to nominate Cummins, but
to vote for him.
Then Ohio was called again and
Harding took the platform, greeted by
scattering cheers, to nominate Ia1t.

and galleries burst into life. Hats and
handkerchiefs were swung in the air
and a steady roll of cheering swept
through the hall. In the galleries

MAKE SURE THAT YOU
GET GOOD QUALITY

II We buy high-priced beef let US make
sure We get a good quality Good beef
should be fine grained. the cut part ex-
posed to the air a light red. showing
a purplish tone when the first slice Is
cut OF: the lean should be notified with
fat; the fat should be solid and yellow
ish white. Beef with yellow fat every
one must avoid, as It denotes an lifted
and old animal having tough flesh and
too great a proportion OF water. Such
meat Is seldom appetizing. no matter
how carefully It may be cooked.
The very finest beef comes from a
"spayed" heller four to six years old
The next best comes from the steer or
bullock. having had Western pasturase
until four or FIVE years Of age; then,
after a rapid fattening process, Is killed
while in a perfectly healthy condition.
The working animals do not make
choice eating. Take the OK, with muscles
hardened by work-the purchaser gets
a coarse-grained flesh: the flesh OF the
COW is shriveled, unpalatable and tough
COW is only sold as beef when too old
to milk; the flesh OF the bull Is tough,
dark and stringy, the fat golden in shade
and strong in flavor. Avoid these three
types last mentioned.

OYSTER REPORT READY.
Health Authorities Prepared to De-
eide what BivaIves Are Healthy.

This week may see the completion Of
the report OF the health authorities Of
the States Of Maryland and Virginia
and the representatives OF the Depart
ment OF Agriculture on the condition OF
the Potomac oyster beds. Invitations
have been sent to these States to meet
with the department representatives this
week, either in Washington or any other
place they may elect.
This report will be the result OF the in
vestlgation made last spring by the
chemists OF the department on the con-
dition of the oyster beds OF the Potomac
and their statement that the water was
polluted and the oysters unfit for eating.
The seizure of oysters from the Shrew-
bury River of New Jersey Monday has
brought the oyster again prominently up
for discussion. 1t was explained yester-
day that the department has no authority
to prohibit the gathering of oysters at
any point. but that they have the right
to seize the oysters reported unfit for
food, and that continual seizure of
oysters from any one locality would
probably break up the traflc.
