"larrison , ' ' but the ex-president did
' not appear , and the report of the corn-
niittee on credentials was submitted
1 an(1 accepted without contest.
. Then came the reading of the pint-

LAI'IATION FOIL M IINLEY.
i The resolutions closed as follows :
l "Believing as we do in a protective
tariff , the ] eadin r issue before the
people , we favor the nomination as
president of the United States of a
man who perfectly represents a protective -
; tective tariff and the cardinal princi-
1 pies of the Republican party ; a man
i ' vho has devoted his life to the defense
of hi : : country in war and in peace :
i one who , at 17 , fought with Hayes and
' Crook and Sheridan at Antietam and
in the Shenandoah in defense of our
rty flag against foes within , and for fourteen -
teen years in Congress contended
against our country's foes from withm
out , beating back British free trade
and aggression , which finally , tinder -
der the present Democratic rd-
niinistration , obtained possession of
our markets and has almost destroyed
our industries ; a man who , with the
resistless sluuboleth , 'protection and
prosperity , ' has challenged the atten-
thou of the commercial world a 11(1 Won
the support of every patriotic workingman -
ingman of ourcountry ; whose life and
work , open as a book , are in theni-
srlves a platform , and whose very
name is : nagic-that loyal American
citizen , soldier , statesman and Christian -
tian gentleman , William McKinley of
Ohio ; and the delegates to the llepub-
t lican natiomtal convention selected by
this body are directed to cast their
vote for William McKinley as fm-c-
, qtenty and continuously as there is
anyhope of his nomination. "
. The enthusiasmn of the crowd be-
, - intense when the chairman
reached the llcliinley resolution. At
the naming of the Ohio candidate
there was a wild cheer , which , tviien
it subsidied , was met with vh orous
counter cries of "larrison. " For
several moments the opposing forces
howled for their favorites. When time
- climax was reached and the plu ase
' "directed to vote for William McKin-
' ' ley" was read the cheers broke loose
" aga iii.
After order had been partially restored -
stored , a motion to adopt was made
amid a lively turmoil. Owing to the
t great confusion during the adoption
i' of the resolutions , it was impossible to
nrrmvc at any accurate estimate of the
cote of the opnoing forces , the ayes
Icing reinforced by cries from the
galleries and corridors , as were also
the nays , but the indications were
that the vote was about three to one
for the resolutions. The chairman de-
r civic d the platform adopted.
, IIARRISON MEN DUiiBFOCNDED.
The remarkable feature of the affair -
fair was the sudden manner in which
the whole matter was apparently dismissed -
missed from mind by the crowd.
x None of the party leaders cared to
' discuss the matter after it was all
over. All expressed hearty adrnira-
tion for the convention's Presidential
favorite , and all declared that Indiana
would enthusiastically and earnestly
Support the Ohio candidate , despite
past differences The easyr victory of
Lime McKinley men was , however. a
' great surprise for the opposition
forces , who could scarcely explain it
all.

I IOLMES IS HANGED.
The Multi-Murderer Avowed Innoccnct
to tha Last.
PIIILAnCiJ'1uA , May 9.-U. H.
Holmes , probably the most notorious
criminal Of our time , was hanged in
Moyaincnsing prison at 10:1o'clock
this morning , but it was not until a
half hour later that he was pronounced -
nounced ( lead , though his neck was
broken by the fall.
The marvelous nerve of the man
never deserted him to the very end.
Even on the scaffold he was probably
the coolest person in the assemblage.
Just before the trap was sprung , he
said :
"Gentlemen , I have very few words
to say , in fact I would make no remarks -
marks at this time , except that by not
speaking I would appear to acquiesce
in my exeeutiou. 1 only wish to say
that the extent of my wrong doing in
taking human life consisted in the
lentil of two voinen , they Navin , died
at my hands as the result of : } crimni-
pal operation. I ivislm to state here ,
so there can be no chance of misunderstanding -
derstanding , that I au , not guilty of
taking the lives of any of the Peitzel. '
family-the three children and Benjamin -
min , the father-of whose death I was
convicted and for whielm I am to-day
to be hanged. That is all 1 hnve to
say. "
Ilolmnes spent the greater part of
his last nigllt on earth writing letters.
At ntidnigllt he went to bed and slept
soundly until 0 o'clock this morning ,
when it took two calls to awaken
him. 't'hen he received a visit from
his spiritual advisers , Fathers Daley
and MacPeak , of the Church of the
Annunciation , who administered the
last sacrament and didl not leave ] dim
until nearly 9 o'clock. During their
absence he ate a breakfast of eggs ,
dry toast and coffee. At 10:02 : o'clock
the sheriff called together the official
jury and after each man had answered
to his name and subscribed to the
certificate , the march to the gallows
was begun.
At I OOS IIo1uu s and the priests
mounted the platform. A moment of
prayer elapsed , and then Holmes
stepped to the front of the scaffold ,
and , resting his hands on the rail before -
fore him , made his statement of inno-
cence. It was received in absolute
silence.
Two minutes later Holmes had finished -
ished his valedictory. Then , atasilent
signal from the priests , lie bent to his
knees and his eyes were fixed on the
crucifix , claspe(1 in his thin hands.
Until. 10:13 the prayer continued.
Immediately afterwards he arose ,
shook hands with the priests and his
lawyers , and in a firm voice bade
them "good-by. "
Without an instant's delay Holmes's
hands were bound behind him and the
black cap adjusted. Sheriff Clement
placed time noose about his neck and ,
after an instant of stillness , the crack
of time bolt rang out like a pistol shot
and the murderer had fallen to his
doom. Consciousness left him instantly -
stantly , said the doctors , although his
heart continued a feeble beat for fifteen -
teen om twenty minutes.
Holnes's letters of farewell were
addressed to his wife in Gilmanton ,
N. H. , and Georgiana Voice of Franklin -
lin , Ind. , the so-called third wife. He
also penned a letter of instruction to
Mr. Rolan , his counsel. Absolute
secreey is maintained regarding the
contents of these letters.
Father Daley knows , if any living
man does , whether or not IIolmes
went into eternity with a lie on his
lips , for to him iolmes made a final
confession , but what was confided to
the priest is a secret of the confessional -
sional ruul will never be made public.
At 19:30 o'clock the big iron doors in
the rear of time prison swung in and an
undertaker's wagon rolled out. In it
wrs a black casket containing the
body. The wagon drove rapidly to
Dlount Morialt cemetery , where the
eoflin was placed in n vault

will meet here next Tuesday simnul-
taneously withm the National A , 1' . A.
convention , said to-day : " 'l'ime A. P.

organization will take is not to advance -
vance the interests of any particular
candidate. li'e are making this fight
for principles , and the ambitious in-
dividnmis ( lo not concern us.
"I eKinley is time very weakest man
the lanubliean : party could nominate.
I am a Republican and a protectionist
of the stalw'tt sort , but the objections -
tions to McKinley are too vital to be
igno.eL I can produce affidavits that
charge him with having said , while
governor of Ohio , that , v iile personally -
ally he had no use for a Iloman Catho-
lie , yet it was necessary to cater to.
that church , inasmuch as it was time
strongest and most perfect political
organbation in thiscountry , ' and that
any party that opposed it would go
dovh to certain defeat. No man who
is weak enough to talk 1lte ] that is fit
for the White house. In my opinion ,
his boom has reached its zenith , and
I have no idea that lie will be the
nominee of his party. "

elution providing iur time appointment
of a special committee to pass on all
communications froui time laymen , this
committee to consist of one minister
and one layman from gacli district.

the Rev. Dr. Shier of Detroit expressed -
pressed regret that any feeling existed
between clergy and laity an effort
was made by Dr. James of Pimiladel-
phia to have the committee consist of
fifteen members to be appointed by
the bishop. The lay detegates would
not agree to this and Mm : L'ennett's
resolution went through.
The woman question was again
brought forward and President Daniel
Stevenson of Union college , Kentucky -
tucky , criticised the action of the
bishops in deciding against time action
of the women in ISSS.
Time Rev. G. Neely led time fight
against the is onmen. lie held that the
question was one of law purely. He

gmnent and said that it was true that
the bible said men and women were
one in Christ , but not in the general
conference. He held that in the church
the status of women was different
from that of men. The question was
a constitutional ore and no one was to
be admitted unless specifically men
tioned.

The chill thought

"Like ice both hard
and cold , " you add ,
And yet your profile gentle
And tender , liquid eyes of gray
Induce a process mental.
The ice is cold and yet it reflects
The ardent blue above you ,
My heart's the sky-your heart's the
ice
And my heart says "I love you. "
When next upon your wintry words
I all forlornly brood ,
I'll think beside "tho' ice is hard
It has a melting mood. "
Trouble for the Stutterer.
"In ordinary conversation no one
would detect that I naturally stutter , "
said A. L. Benedict at the Normandie ,
"but such is the fact. When I was a
small boy I stuttered badly , but overcame -
came time linguistic defect sufficiently
to talk smoothly as a rule. When I
converse with a man who stuttcl's , h1oW-
ever , I cannot control myself and I always -
ways stutter as badly as he does. This
fact came very nearly getting me ilm
serious trouble a few days ago in the
mountains of West Virginia. I was in
a hotel , talking sniootllly as I am now ,
when a stutterer joined the crowd. He
listened for awhile , then entered the
conversation with me. At once I began
to stutter. His face turned red , then
white , amt finally he could stand it no
longer.
"Arising from his chair , he began
taking off his coat , saying , 's-s-sstr-s-s-
stranger , I c-c-cccca-cann't t-t-tlk to
s-s-s-suit yo' , but I k-k-k-kin f-f-f-fight
1-1-1-hike w-w-wild cats. S-s-s-strip ! '
"I was so excited that the impediment
in my speech became so prominent that
I could not explain , and he would not
have believed me if I had , so there was
nothing to do but prepare for a fight
in which I would have been placed at
a very decided disadvantage. At that
moment the town marshal entered time
room and arrested us both. I explained
matters to the mayor and he released
us both , letting me have an hour's start
to get out of town before the stutterer
was turned loose.-Ex.
They iflalce a Faintly Party.
The recent fine spring weather has
brought time south side a treat in the
shape of a brand-new piano-organ ,
drawn about on four substantial wheels
by a comfortable , well-fed horse. The
huge instrument is gay in a bright
green cover , and its tunes are the latest
additions to the popular street songs.
The chief charm of this elaborate outfit -
fit , however , is the family which accompanies -
companies it-a man , a woman and a
fine big 18-months-old baby. While
the father holds his cap under the windows -
dews of aristocratic nurseries , the
mother bravely grinds out the stirring
tunes , and the baby , perched high on
the front seat , laughs and crows in happy -
py content. During the rides from one
stopping place to another , the whole
trio ranges itself on the wide cushioned
seat , chatting as gayly as though all this
wealth were not the fruit of pennies
picked up one at a time.-Ex.

Effect of Tobacco.
A physician at Vale has discovered
that in a class of 147 students , the 77
Who never used tobacco surpassed time
70 who did use it 10.4 per cent in gain
in weight , 24 per cent in increase in
height , 26.7 per cent in growth of chest
girth , and 77.5 per cent in gain in lung
capacity. Figures even more striking
wer. obtained at Amherst , and the conn
solationists are duly elated at the show-
ing.
ing.But
But this exhibit relates only to the
physical side of the boys' nature. Prof.
Fish , of the Northwestern University , is
authority- for time statement that tobacco -
bacco injures the intellectual faculties
as cell. He says that when z c.leg
class at Yale had been divided into four
sections , according to scholarship , it
was found that the highest section was
composed almost entirely of nonsmokers -
ers , and the lowest section almost entirely -
tirely of smokers.
"Let Your Liglt So Shiite. "
As an illustration cf the need of keeping -
ing the lower lights burning , D. L.
Moody often relates the following :
"A few years ago , at the mouth of
Cleveland harbor , there were two lights ,
one at each side of the bay , called the
upper and lower lights ; and to enter
the harbor safely by night , vessels must
sight both of these lights.
"These western lakes are sometimes
more dangerous than the great ocean.
One wild , stormy night , a steamer was
trying to make her way into the har-
bor. The captain and pilot were anxiously -
iously watching for the lights. By and
by the pilot was heard to say , 'Do you
see the lower light ? '
" 'No ; was the reply ; 'I fear we have
passed them. '
" 'Aim , there are the lights , ' said the
pilot , and they must be , from the bluff
on which they stand , the upper lights.
We have passed the lower lights , and
have lost our chance of getting intoQ the
harbor. '
"What was to ba done ? They looked
back , and saw the dim outline of the
- - - - - . . ,
M
f
lower lighthouse against the sky , The
lights had gone out.
" 'Can't you turn your head around ? '
" 'No ; the nigllt is too wild for that.
She won't answer to her helm :
"The storm was so fearful that they
could do nothing. They tried again to
make for the harbor , but they went
crash against the rocks , and sank to
the bottom. Very few escaped ; the
great majority found a watery grave. "

A short distance above Owentown and
New harmony , Ind. , on the Wabash
river , which little town their resident ,
Robert Dale Owen , has made famous ,
Is the village of Payson , Ill. It consists
of but a few houses , but it Is noted as
the home of ague. Not ordinary chills
and fever , but the shaking kind of ague ,
where the chattering teeth play a waltz
and every bone lu the body keeps time
to time Iltusie.

Into the dairy business and in his spring

The proprietor of the little dairyy explained -
plained its operation to his neighbor.

Just Putt for hogs.
"Did you ever see hogs kill rattlesnakes -
snakes ? " inquired the old mountaineer ,
according to time San Francisco Post.
Evidently none of his hearers had
ever beheld such an exciting spectacle.
"Nell , it's a picnic for the ] logs , " he
continued , "and a great surpriSC and
disappointment to the snakes.
"As soon as a hog sights a rattlesnake
he grunts as tlmough some one had
chucked him an ear of corn and trots
right after it. Time snake sees a big ,
fat hag coming his way , and you can
almost see It grin as it coils up and says
to itself : 'That's my Imork. '
"The hog trots right up as if he wanted -
ed to be friendly and time snake , fired
with ant ambition to kill some pork ,
lets fly like a steel spring and hooks onto -
to the pork. Timen conies time surprise.
Instead of running and squealing , as time
snake expected , time hog calmly turns
around , plants iris forefeet on the snake
and commences feeding off his tail. It
Is a painful surprise to an ambitions
rattler. He keeps thrashing around
and striking until there isn't a bite of
hint left. Then Mr. Hog looks for a new
rattler. He ( leeSll't feel any more inconvenience -
convenience from the snake bites than
he would from a yellow jacket's sting. "
Talc of the Ity.
A small boy stole out early when
milkmen's wagons were the only vehicles -
hicles on the streets and shops were
yet closed. The small boy carried a
piece of chalk and a wicked grin.
Stooping , with his back to the east , he
made several marks which shone vividly -
ly against the walk. lie surveyed his
work , chuckled and melted away , says
the Chicago News.
A little while later when the rush to
the city had begun no one got over these
marks without stopping. Dien with
watches iii their hantis and speed in
their feet paused in their mad career ,
swung around , read the inscription ,
missed their train and swore. Girls
stopped , read and looked contemptuous
at their folly. Every one who read
hurried away without looking back to
see who saw him. When the rush abated
the bad boy sauntered out , and hugged
himself as Ile looked at his chalk marks :

The clock in the church tower struck

A haggard and wearied man softly

An object on the mantel caught his
glaring eye. IIe picked it up and read

Au Cnoecunied Field.
Dr. W. R. Harper , president of Chicago -
cage University , says in the Biblical
Worl(1 :
"The successful teacher of the Bible
is a rarity. The country has hundreds
and thousands of men and women who
have , by long effort , prepared themselves -
selves to teach the English language ,
mathematics , or modern languages ; but
where are the men and women who
have undertaken special preparation to
enable them to teach the Bible ? "
Conception of Eternity.
Let us imagine ourselves a huge
mountain , the largest on the face of
the earth , says William George-a great
solid mass of granite rock. And suppose
that once every 100 years a little bird
came flying to the top of the mountain
and rested there and merely dusted its
beak upon the summit. The time it
would take before the bird's beak , with
its little tap every 100 years , had completely -
pletely worn away and leveled the
whole mountain-is only a moment of
eternity.
"If things don't get better , " said the
shoe clerk to his fellow slaves , "I am
going to change my boarding house.
