REPUBLICAN PARTY is
REUNITED BY ROOSEVELT
Declines His Nomination and Sug-
.. guests Hughes May be
Right Man

After most fervent support Of
their one great leader and having
given him a unanimous vote, the
Progressive party adjourned Satur.
day afternoon without candidate in
the, race. Colonel Roosevelt had de-
clined their nomination, for the good
of the Republican party, saying that
IL Mr.. Hughes bears out his present
strong position as head of a great
host of American voters, he would
undoubtedly be the man for presi-
dent. @ts $f' q
Independent Voting
Both conventions were marked bv
absence of leadership and bossism.
The delegates maintained steady in
dependence and cast their votes &C.
cording to what they considered the
will of their constituents. The NOM
nation of Hughes came in answer
to a, great wave of public opinion,
in convention unmoved by any ora
tory or political plotting. 1t was the
will of the people. In the Progressive
camp no other man but Teddy"
could have had a COST of a show.
No leader could even suggest another
man, not even the colonel himself,
as is plain from their instant rejec-
ton of his message favorins Senator
Lodge.
Parker for Vice President
At the very instant that the nom
nation of Justice Hughes by the Re-
publican convention was flashed Re-
fore the Progressives, Chairman Rob-
bins was announcing to them that
Theodore Roosevelt had been unani-
mously nominated as their candidate.
Then there was confusion. When
order was again restored the roll
call of the states was continued and
several names placed in nomination
for vice president. Governor john
son was named but declined. Colonel
Parker, of Louisiana, finally received
the unanimous vote of the conven-
ton.
OOlOnel's Message
The short message Of Roosevelt
declining to accept the nomination
lat this time" was read by chairman
Robbins three minutes before the ad-
iournment of the convention. The
significant point about his announce
ment was that If the Progressive ma
tional committee found the subse-
uuent statements of Mr.. Hughes in
accordance with the principles OF
their party his own refusal to be q
candidate should stand as his last
word. This is practically an endorse
ment, with loop hole of retreat.
But there Is little doubt but Hughes
will meet every requirement. Some
dissatisfaction was shown by the
leaders who had worked with such
a will to bring honor to their hero,
but it is expected that they will turn
to the support of the man who seems
Ito be the peoples choice, Charles
Evans Hughes.
Reorganize Committee
The Moosers held a three hour SEES
sion Saturday evening and reelected
Victor Murdoch, of Kansas, and 0.
X. Davis, secretary. Matthew Hale,
of Massachusetts was made vice
chairman, and e. H. Hooker, treas
urer. They decided UNANIMOUSLY to
meet in Chicago, June Is.
1t is up to this committee to bring
things to a conclusion and whether
they will act upon the Colonels sug-
gestions that they give party sup
port to Hughes, or insist upon leaV-
ing the ticket as framed Is left open
until the coming session.

CLUB WEDNESDAY AT
TERNOON

Danny Mathews is training ev-
cry day at the Unity club for bis
battle with Johnny Mccarthy, the
San Francisco lightweight, to be
staged at Tonopah on the night of
Thursday, May IS. Mccarthy fought
a f%our-rOund draw with Russell
Kane at Sacramento before coming
to Nevada the last time, and dur
ing his career has mixed it with
the best men in the game. He
fought Matty Baldwin a 20-round
draw, stayed 10 rounds with Packy
Mcfarland and Jack Britton. held
Willie Richie even for 10 rounds,
fought a 15-round draw with Wild
cat Ferns and has fought and
whipped Billy Murray and Antoine
La Grave, the first in 20 rounds
and the latter in 10. Mccarthy
will train in the Unity club gym
nasium Wednesday afternoon at 3
O'Clock with Dick Trownce as his
sparring partner.
Graham and Schneider will not
fight. and the main preliminary will
provide Tommy Bronco of San
Francisco and Chalky Miller in a
six-round act. Bronco is said to
be a classy boy who is liable to
take Chalky's measure.
An interesting feature of the
program will be a wrestling match
between Tony ~Barragage, the Rus
sian lion, and Flying Dutchman

The geologic story of Black pond is
that it lies in an abandoned channel
of the Potomac. A part of the river
flowed through the depression in which
Black pond lies. There, the river found
rock somewhat softer than the other
masses roundabout and washed out a
long sink. Then to the northward 1t
found still softer rock and wore away
a depression deeper than that of Black
pond and turned aside. In places the
pond is exceedingly deep, but the
Rambler has not the measurement in
feet. Evaporation is balanced by
water which drains into the pond. 1t
is surrounded by cliffs of gneiss and
on the north side these cliffs are only
forty to fifty feet high, but on the
south side they rise 300 feet.
This territory through which the
Rambler has been travelling was deriv-
ed by the present owners through reg
ular grants and conveyances from the
original grant of Thomas Lord Fairfax
to Bryan Fairfax. Fairfax's title was
obtained from Lord Culpeper. to whom,
in September. 1888. James II granted

Besides the officers of the local bien-

Mrs. Brown several hundreds of the
cIubwomen of New York, who are de-
termined that this second biennial con-
vention of the Federation of Women's
Clubs to be held in the east shall be
second to none of its predecessors in
women throughout the country, as well
as in the interest of it's subjects for
discussion and in the diversity of its
entertainment. An interesting figure
at the convention will be the venerable
Mrs. William Tod Helmuth, known In
New York as the Mother Of Clubs.
Mrs. Helmuth is honorary chairman of
the local biennial board, and is in full
sympathy with Mrs. Brown in her ac-

as to the latter was ineffective because
the grant dated June 20, 1882, from

who was the first proprietary of the

June 8. 1857. Difficult run continued to
perform it's duty as a part of the Fairfax
Loudoun boundary until 1898. when
new boundary, roughly five miles further
west. was agreed on The assembly OF
Virginia. January 3. 1898, passed an act
for adding part of the county of Lou
doun to the county of Fairfax and alter
ing the place of holding courts In Fairfax
county," which act provided That all
that part of the county of Loudoun lying
between the lower boundary thereof and

field on the farm of Col. James Ihrlit,
where Gen. Phil Kearny and Gen. Isaac
Stevens, in the gathering darkness and
during heavy rain on the evening OF
September l, 1852, were killed II IS
interesting to note here that COL
Thrift. the owner OF the farm at me

Confederate service at the Seven Rivers
fight. The farm is now owned by capt.
John Ballard of the Confederate army,
whose wife is a daughter of Col. Thrill
Handsome markers to the memory OF
Kearny and Stevens have recently been
erected there, but the sad and historic
spots were long marked by powders
gathered in the field and set in place
by Capt. Ballard.
