Nnnicrous Outbursts of Enthusiasm In

Illinois for MeKinlcy.
SrnTKOMEf.D, 111., May 2 .William
AlcKinloy, of Ohio, is the choice of tho
Republicans of Illinois for president
of tlio United btutcs. He was so de
clared at tlio Republican state con
vention here yesterday. He was not
only declared tho choice, but the over
whelming choice, of tho people of this
state who believe in tho principles of
the Kepubliean party.
Every effort and scheme known to
politicians was brought to bear upon
the delegates to induce them to name
another man, but all tho schemes
failed. It was apparent tho people
whom tho delegates represented
wanted MeKinlcy, and tho delegates
could not bo induced to violate tho
wishes of their constituents.
That the people of this State wero
plcased with tho choico was made ev
ident by tho U.OOO hpeetatots and vis
itors who gathered from nil parts of
tho State to attend tho convention.
As Boon as the name of Major MeKin
lcy was mentioned iu tho convention
there was an outburst of applause
that surprised even the most ardent
admirers of Mnjor MeKinlcy. Nearly
every man, woman and child in tho
vast throng arose at the mention of
the name of the Iluckeye statesman
and for nearly five minutes shouted
and yelled and cheered. Hats wero
thrown in tho air by tlio more enthus
iastic, and for a tiiuo it seemed as if
the vast crowd had gono raving mad.
The contest was between tlio Re
publicans who believed Shelby M.
Cullom bhould bo honored as tho
standard bearer in tho presidential
contest by tho people of this State, on
ttie one hand, aud the Republicans
who favored MeKinlcy on the other.
Arrayed on tho side of Senator Cullom
was that organization known as the
Cook county "machine," nnd a large
number of leading politicians and
statesmen of Illinois. With him wero
veteran politicians, who, ia years
gono by, have engaged in many a hard
fought political contest. They hud to
aid them one of the most perfect po
litical organizations that has ever
been formed in this State; but all
their plans wont wrong.
While Senator Cullom and his back
ers met defvat, they met it gracefully,
and at the conclusion of the conven
tion there was not the slightest ill
feeling on their part towards the vic
tors. A motion was made to lay the Me
Kinlcy resolutions on the tnblc. and
wasdefeated by a voto of 503 to 832.
When the uproar following tho
adoption of the MeKinlcy resolutions
had ceased the following dclgates-at-large
wero elected: It. W. Patterson,
editor Chicago Tribune; William Penn
Nixon, editor Inter Ocean, ex-Governor
It J. Oglosby of Elkhart, and cx-Gov-crnor
J. W. Fifer.
TALK ON BATTLESHIPS.
Air. Allen of Nebraska, Stakes Some Ulg
I'nlltlcal J'rcdlrtlons.
Wasiii.vqtoN, May 2. The Senate
spent anoUier day on the nassl appro
priation bill without completing it,
Mr. Gormun further opposed the item
of four battleships and expressed tho
opinion that the appropriations al
ready made would consume the bal
ance in the treasury. A determina
tion of tho number of battleships has
not yet been reached. Mr. Chandler
has proposed substituting thirty largo
and fast torpedo gunboats for two of
the battleships. Mr. White of Call
fornia, spoke of the need of coast de
fense before further naval vessels
were built, and Mr. Allen of Nebraska
made n speech of over three hours ar
raigning tho two old parties.
Mr. Allen predicted that the Repub
lican party would be victorious at tho
next national election, and that tho
Democratic party would go out of
power for a third of a century. Threo
months hence, he snid, there would bo
a great bolt in tho Democratic ranks,
one wing taking refuge in the Popu
list party, and the rest becoming
"gold bugs." Then turning to tho
Republican party, Mr. Allen accused
It of "frying the fat" out of protected
Industries, and said that party, too,
Would go out of power in 1000. giving
place to a party of the people. Mr.
Allen spoke until 4 o'clock, consuming
over three hours.

SHAH OF PERSIA KILLED.
Losdon, May 2. Tho shah of Persia
was assassinated by a fanatla this
afternoon just as ho was about to en
ter tho inner court of the shrine of
Shah Abdul Azim, six miles north o(
Teheran.
Tlio assassin used a revolver and
tho first bullot proved tho fatal one,
passing through tho heart. Tho physi
cian attached to tho German legation
was sent for in hasto but boforo ho
arrived tho shah was dead.
In order to prevent public excite
ment from becoming too high, tho
first report sent out was that tho
Siiah wus only slightly wounded, but
an hour lator it was oftlcially an
nounced that tho wound had proved
fatal almost instantly.
Immediately after tlio shah was shot
ho was carried to hlscarriagcand con
veyed to tho palaco in Teheran.
There ho was attended by Dr. Tliol
gean, his chief physician, and other
physicians were hastily sent for. Hut
in spite of their efforts his majesty ex
pired soon after his arrival ut tho
palace, or at about 4 o'clock this
afternoon.
The assassin, who was promptly ar
rested, is said to be a Bay id from'Ker
man or from the provinco of that
name. It is believed tho murderor
has accomplices.
Tho heir apparent, MuzafTcr-ed-Dln,
was immediately advised of tho assas
sination of his father and will lcavo
Tabriz, whero he was sojourning, for
Teheran as soon as possible.
TUB SHAH'S CAltUKK.
Shah Nasred-Din was born in 1823
nnd succeeded his father, Muhnmmcd
Shnh, in 1848, being tho fourth mon
arch of the dynasty of tho Kajars.
Ho was proclaimed heir to tho throno
some years prior to his nccession, but
was absent at Tabriz, when his father
died and had to fight for his rights.
The Into Shah's first notable act
was the suppression of a rebellion in
Khorason and his next tho extermina
tion of the sect of tlio Bab is by sword
and fire.
In 13!C Englnnd declared war
against Persia on account of tho lat
ttr's sympathy with Russia in tho Crl
roeun war and also by reason of tho
capture of Herat a year earlier. After
a snort campaign under tho conduct
of Sir James Outram on the part of
the English, the Persians woro de
feated and Herat evacuated. Since
that time the relations between Eng
land and Persia have been friondly
and the shah's disoosition of tho saino
character, as his recent visit to Eng
land would indicate. Nasred-Din had
even previously vl-tlted Queen Victoria
1 1 an amicable spirit and had toured
extensively oa the continent as well.
In 1872 the Indo-European telegraph
line from London through Teheran
and on into India was opened and tho
same year a settlement of the frontier
difficulties between Persia aiid Khelat
was effected by Sir F. Goldsmid and
the Seistan mission.
Nasred-Din was successful in most
of his wars, but it is upon tho record
of his civil acts that his reputation
must rest. He is universally conceded
to have been a humane and intelligent
ruler.
The new shah will be tlio eldest son
of the deceased, Muzafer-ed-Dln. It is
interesting to note that it is within
tho power of the Persian monnrclis to
alter or overrule the existing law of
succession and to leava in disregard
the claims of the natural heir or any
other raerabor of the family.

tale than Mrs. Anna L. Smith of-311
Pulaski Avenue, Brooklyn. With all
the comforts that money affords, VyltU
all the happiness that many loving
friends can give, the Joy of Mrs.
Smith's life was blasted for years by
the terrible ravages of sickness. The
story is most interesting aa told to a
reporter:
"I was an Invnlld for years, suffering
first with ono complaint and then with
another. The thine which cnuBed me
tho most discomfort nnd mnde mo of
fensive to my family was tho worst
case .of indigestion Imaginable. I had
the best physician we could find, and
occasionally his prescriptions relieved
nin temporarily. But Uie pains and
misery would nil Boon return again.
I became desperate, nnd started In to
try remedies of which I read. Amqng
them wero the Pink Pills. I took the
pills and followed out the direc
tions to the letter, nnd before
many days I began to feel like a differ
ent woman. For six weeks I took the
pills regularly, and I can truthfully
add after that I was aB well any one
In the family. This change for tho bet
ter in my condition has caused my
relatives and friends to' take the pills.
We buy them from the drug Btore of
John Duryea, at the corner of DeKalb
and Sumnor Aj'enuen,
"1 assure you it was impossible for
mo to oversee my household for three
years. Now I visit my kitchen every
day, do my own marketing and shop
ping; in a word, look after everything
connected with my home fcnd family.
"Oh. yes, I still keep, taking the pills.
I take one dally after dinner. Preven
tion, you know, Is better and cheaper
than cure. I verily believe one half
of the women who are suffering from
the Ills which our sex are heir to would
be up and well If they could be in
duced to give the Plnlc Pills a fair trial.
I certainly recommend them heartily
nnd and feel grateful to tho physician
who put them on the market"
Mrs. Smith is a woman of some
means and standing In the community
nnd, therefore, her testimony will be
accepted without question by all
thoughtful people.

Good Itoxis Scheme.
Tho latest scheme for good roads,
that of laying tracks of broad steel
rails along country roads and city
streets, for tho wheels of vehicles to
run on, thus greatly increasing the
traction power of horses- and the gen
eral comfort and convenience of driv
ing nnd trucking, was suggested by
Gov. Wertz, of Now Jersey, in his last
message, lie says a horse will draw
on such a steel track twenty times as
much as on a dirt road and five times
as much as on macadam. The unani
mity with which drivers of all manner
of vehicles in the city strcots- take to
the car tracks clearly illustrates- the
idea.

ITould Not Kat tb rinc.
An Englishman in Washington at
dinner declined to eat an ice frozen in
the shnpe and color of the American
flag. This he did because be held it to
be bad form to absorb the national em
blem. The incident was significant as
showing the distinction and tho differ
ence between tho lirltlsh Idea of patri
otism and our own. Englishmen lift
their huts whon their flag is carried
past nod rise when tho national an
them is playod in theatres and musical
halls. No true llrlton, in trade or out
of it, would see tho flag of his country
for advertising purposes. Uoaton Ga
