The family went to South Deerfield in 1819 and located in Mill River on a farm. Mr. Smith was married Jan. 1, 1828, to Pattie Clapp, who was killed by a fall from a wagon in August, 1880.

A Sicilian woman, Madame Granata, has jvét given birth to five little girls, thus increasing her family to the ex- traordinary figure of forty-two child- ren, Madame Granata, who is quite a young woman, was married at the age of sixteen, and in the first year of her marriage became the mother of a fine girl. This she followed up in a space of ten months by presenting her husband with five boys at a birth, and she has gone on increasing her family by threes and fours up to the present time. The recently published diary of the Duchess of Fife contains this remark- able quotation from Queen Victoria, a signal-flag for young and old: “God has been so good to me that now, in my old age, I want to confess that I not any dislikes.” One of the test generals of Victoria’s whole Charles Napier, once made a r statement: “I never feel an- at any one—beyond wishing to break their bones with a broomstick!” Then, as if repenting of even his laugh- ing exception, Napier added: “That was not my mind that spoke. I am a child in the hands of God.” “I named my son for Colonel Blank,” said a father one day, “before certain chapters in his history were written, or I should not have done so.” His was not an unusual experience. Not only is a man’s record constantly changing while he lives, but the opin- ion of him in the early years after his death may vary much from the world’s final estimate. Senator Hoar doubt- less had this idea in mind when he said, on the occasion of the presenta- tion of a statue for Statuary Hall, that the state giving it had done well to wait until its subject had been dead for fifty years. He wished it might be the rule with every state in selecting from among its distinguished sons those whom it would honor in| this way. Real worth lasts.

This is the ticket presented by the National Democratic convention after a three-days’ session marked by great enthusiasm and many exciting scenes. The story of the convention’s proceed- ings day by day follows? Kansas City, July 5.—Amid scenes of tumultuous epthusiasm befitting such an event and such a day the Demo- cratic national convention began its session yesterday. But after sitting until a late hour last night the expect- ed climax of the day, the nomination of William J. Bryan as the Democratic candidate for president, failed of re- alization, and all of the larger business of the convention awaits the comple- tion of the platform. As a spectacular event, however, the convention has fulfilled the hopes of the most fervid party man, for the vast assemblage of delegates and speakers has twice been swept with whirlwind demonstra- tions, first for the leader who is about to be placed in nomination, and then for the other champion of Democracy, id B. Hill. But in actual accom- plishment the day’s work was con- fined to organization with the speeches of the temporary chairman, Gov Thomas of Colorado, and Permanent Chairman James D. Richardson, the appointment of the various commit- tees and detailed preparations for the more serious work yet in store. Bryan Unanimously Nominated. Kansas City, July 6.—William Jen- nings Bryan of Nebraska was last night placed in nomination for the presidency on the Democratic ticket on a platform opposing imperialism, mil- itarism and trusts and a. speciti¢ declaration for silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The nomination came as the culmination of a frenzied demonstra- tion in honor of the party leaders last- ing twenty-seven minutes and giving utterance to all the pent up emotions of the vast multitude. It followed also HON. WILLIAM J. BRYAN. a fierce struggle throughout the last thirty-six hours concerning the plat- form declaration on silver and.on the relative position which the silver ques- tion is to maintain to the other great issues of the day. It was late yester- day afternoon when the convention was at last face to face with the pres- idential nomination. Jarlier in the day there had been Tedious Delays due to the inability of the platform committee to reconcile their differences and present a report. Until this was ready the convention managers be- guiled the time by putting forward speakers of more or less prominence to keep the vast audience from becoming too restless. The first session, begin- ning at 10 o’clock, was entirely fruit- less of results, and it was not until late in the afternoon, when the second session had begun, that the platform committee was at last able to reach an agreement. Already its main features, embedying the 16 to 1 principle, had beccme known to the delegates, and there was little delay in giving it unan- imous approval. This ended the last chance for an open rupture on the question of principles and left the way clear for the culminating business of the day—the nomination of a candi- date. The vast auditorium was filled to its utmost capacity when The Moment Arrived for the nomination to be made. Not only were the usual facilities afforded by tickets taxed to their utmost, but doorkeepers were given liberal instruc- tions under which the aisles and areas and.all available spaces were packed to their fullest limit. When the eall of states began for the purpose of placing candidates in nomination, Ala- bama yielded its place at the head of the list to Nebraska, and Oldham of that state made his. way to the plat form for the initial speech placing Mr. Bryan in nomination for the presi- dency. The orator was strongly voiced and entertaining, and yet to the waiting delegates and spectators there was but one point to his speech, and that was the stirring peroration which closed with the name of Will- iam J. Bryan. This was the signal for the demonstration of the day, and in a common purpose the great con- course joined in a great tribute of Enthusiastic Devotion to the party leader. A huge oil por- trait of Bryan, measuring fifteen feet across, was brought down the main aisle before the delegates. At the same time the standards of the state delegations were torn from their sock- ets pnd waved op high, while umbre)- las of red, white and blue, silk banners of the several states and many hand- scme and unique transparencies were borne about the building amid the deafening clamor of 20,000 yelling, ges- ticulating men and women. All of the intensity of former demonstrations and much wore was added to this final tribute to. the leader. When the demenstration had spent itself the speeches seconding the nomination of Mr. Bryan were in order. Senator White spoke for California, giving the tribute of the Pacific coast to the Ne- braska candidate. When Colorado was reached that state yielded to Senator Hill of New York. The audience had Anxiously Awaited the appearance of the distinguished New Yorker. He was accorded a splendid reception, the entire audience rising and cheering wildly with the single exception of the little'group of Tammany leaders, who t silent eir New throughout the cheers for 3 a David Bennett Hill. York associate. Mr. Hill was in fine voice, and his tribute to the Ne- braskan touched a sympathetic chord in the hearts of the audience. He pictured Bryan as the champion of the plain people and of the working: man, strong with the masses, with the farmer and with the artisan. When Hill declared with dramatic in- tensity that the candidate would have the support of his party — a united party—there was tremendous applause at the sugzestion of Democratic unity. Aside from the brilliant eulogy of Bryan the speech of the New York leader was significant and attractive in its strong plea for unity. “It is a time for unity, not for division,” he exclaimed to the Rapturous Approval of the great multitude facing him. The eloquent Daniel of Virginia added his glowing tribute to the candidate, while Former Gov. Pattison of Penn- sylvania spoke for his state and for the East. Goy. McMillin of Tennes- see voiced the wishes of the state which had “furnished three _presi- dents,” Hawaii, through its delegate, John H. Wise, made its first second- ing speech in a Democratic national convertion, and finally a sweet voice, a pleasant faced woman from Utah. sec- onded the nomination of Mr. Bryan in behalf of her state. Then came the voting. State after state recorded its vote in behalf of the Nebraska candi- date, giving him the unanimous votes of all the states and territories. The managers of the convention had de cided that this was enough work for one day and the nomination for vice- presidential candidate was allowed to go over until to-day. Imperialism the Issue. Next to the demonstration for the party candidate that greeting the an- nouncement that imperialism was to be the paramount issue of the cam- paign v.as the most spontaneous and significant of the day. Senator Till- man read the platform, and with much force brought out the fact that im- perialism was now given the first and supreme place among the issues of the party. That the delegates and audi- ence were in complete accerd with the programme was showa by the long and continved applavise, lasting over twen- ty-two minutes. Following this the an- nouncement that the 16 to 1 idea was retained received only faint and short demonstration, the applause being only continved a few minutes. It was re. garded as. significant of the spirit of the delegates. The most stirring in- cident of the day's proceedings was the appearance of Webster Davis, formerly assistant secretary of the in- terior in “McKinley’s administration, in a speech severely arraigning the Re- publican party for its lack of sympa- thy for the Boers, and formally an- nouncing his allegiance to the Demo- cratic party. Stevenson for Vice President. Kansas City, July 7. — The Demo- cratic rational ticket was completed yesterday by the nomination of Adlai EB. Stevenson for vice president. The nomination was made on the first bal- lot, state after state joining in the wild scramble to record their support HON. CHARLES A. TOWNE. of the winning candidate. A distinct triumph of the day in the way of pop- ular ovation was that accorded to Sen- ator Hill, and in its spontaneity and enthusiasm was one of the most nota ble features the convention has pro- duced. It was accompanied, teo, by a remarkable scene when Hill earnest ly appealed to his friends against be- ing placed in nomination, and then finding his protest in vain, he strode to the platform, and in tones which left no doubt of their sincerity, earnest- ly besought the convention not to make him the nominee. Towne’s Name Presented, Qe tka cal) for nomivations Alnhame yielded to Minnesota and the latter state, through L, A. Rosing, presented its young champion of silver Republic- anism and Democracy — Charles A. Towne. ‘The mention of his name was the signal for a flattering demonstra- tion in his honor, men and women joining in the outburst. For ten min- utes the demonstration over Towne lasted with varying degrees of intensi- ty. Meantime attention was being di- rected to an excited group massed in front of the New York section with Hill as the vortex of a_ struggling throng of delegates. They pressed forward from all quarters of the hall, urging him to permit his name to be placed before the convention. The face of the New Yorker was a study as the demands upon him came from all sides. Hall protested vociferously. Judge Van Wyck said he could not re- fuse. Murphy and Croker Pleaded With Him to obey the will of the convention and accept. While the pleadings contin- ued the call of Delaware was heard above the uproar, and Delaware yield- ed her place to New York. At this the portly form of Senator Grady, the silver-tongued orator of New York, pushed through the densely packed aisles up to the platform. There was a hush through the,hall to hear what word New York had ‘to offer. “In behalf of the united Democracy of New York,” shouted Grady, “I pre- sent as a candidate for vice president the name of David Bennett Hill.” The effect was electrical and a tidal wave of enthusiasm swept over the convention. Grady stood there, proud- ly waiting for the storm to subside. But as he waited the audience ob- served a strange pantomime. ‘They saw Hill leave the New York delega- tion and push through the throng up to the platform. They heard him Appeal to Grady to withdraw, while Grady’s answer was apparent from the shake of his head and his advance to the front of the platform to conclude his nominat- ing speech. When the demonstration had subsided Grady completed his speech placing Hill before the conven- tion. But as he stepped from the plat- form the man who had just been placed in nomination took his place. The senator looked out sternly, even savagely on the shouting thousands. When he could be heard he made due acknowledgment of the honor done him. “But, I cannot, I must not, be the nominee of this convention,” he de- elared with explosive emphasis. He was frequently interrupted with en- thusiastie shouts of approval, but when he left the platform the dele- gates were firmly convinced from his words and manner that he was sin- cerely desirous of having his name withheld. It was soon apparent that with Hill out Stevenson was a strong favorite. State after state seconded his nomination, Georgia, Indiana, Vir- ginia, Iowa, Kentucky, Mlinois. of the devoted Friends of Hill still maintained their allegiance to him and the delegations of New Jersey, Some Temporary Chairman Charles 8. Thomas, Colorado. Ree Loulsiana and some others seconded his nomination. A number of favorite sons also were placed in nomination, Maryland bringing forward Goy. John Walter Smith, Washington naming James Hamilton Lewis, North Caro- lina nominating Col. Julian Carr and Ohio presenting the name of A. W. Patrick. It was after 2 o’clock when the seconding speeches were concluded and the balloting began. As the roll was called Mr. Hill appeared on the platform, and in a few well chosen words withdrew from the contest. The vote was followed with intense inter- est, for when Alabama announced 3 for Stevenson and 19 for Hill it looked as though a close and exciting contest was to occur. But it was soon evident that Stevenson Had a Strong Lead. At the close of the call he had 5591-2 votes, which, however, was not enough to nominate, the requisite two-thirds being 624. Hill had received 200 votes and Towne, 891-2. But before the an- nouncement of the result a strong lunged delegate from Tennessee stood on his chair and announced: “Tennessee changes her 24 votes from Hill to Stevenson.” That started the tide irresictibly to- ward Stevenson. From every quarter of the hall came cries for recognition. North Carolina changed from Carr to Stevenson. Even New York finally, but reluctantly, announced its change from Hill to Stevenson. That ended it. tevenson’s nomination was assured, although for some time longer the yarious states continued to record their changes from Towne and other candi- dates to Stevenson. In the end the nomination was made unanimous. The announcement was greeted with en- thusiastic approval and again state standards and banners were borne about the building in tribute to the party nominee. Digest of the Platform. The platform makes imperialism the leading issue, in /the following lan- guage: “The importance of other questions now pending before the American peo- ple is in no wise diminished, and the Democratie party es no backward step from its position on them; but the purning issue of imperialism, growing out of the Spanish war, involves the very existence of the republic and the destruction of our free institutiang. We regard it as the paramount issue of the campaign.” The financial plank is as follows: “We reaffirm and indirse the princi- ple of the national Democratic plat- form adopted at Chicago in 1896, and. we reiterate the demand of that plat- form for an American financial system made by the Amer:can people for thei- selves, which shall restore and main- tain a bimetallic price level, and, as part of such system, the immediate re- storation of free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid and consent of any other nation.” - The Porto Rican law is denounced; also, the administration’s Philippine policy. The fulfillment of Cuban pledges is demanded. Stable government, in- dependence and protection for Filipi- nos is favoreed. 8 The platform does not oppose expan- sion to desirable territory. Strict main- tenance of the Monroe doctrine is de manded. Pledges increasing warfare against private monopolies in every form. Demands that products of trusts be put upon the free list.. Denounces Republicans for failing to enact anti- trust laws. The Dingley tariff law i condemned. Enlargement of the scope of the interstate commerce law is fa- vored. The currency bill is denounced. Favors direct election of United States senators. Government by injunction and blacklisting is denounced and arbi- tration favored. A cabinet department of labor is favored. Favers liberal pen+ sions. Favers Nicaraguan canal. demns Hay-Paunce2fote treaty. F Chinese exclusion act. English all is condemned. Repeal of war tax fa- yored. Sympathy for the Boers is de clared, REPUBLICANS SILV Unanimously Nominate Bryan and ve Vice-Presidency to the Com- tee. Kansas City, July 8.—After a long and exciting debate, during which it looked several times as if Charles A Towne would be nominated for vice fl president in spite of his protest against such action, the national convention of the Silver Republican party adjourned sine die without making a nomination, the whole matter being pass to the national committee with power to act. W. J. Bryan was made the unanimous choice of the convention for president at the morning session, and it was the intention to complete the ticket in the afternoon by the nomination of Form- er Congressman Towne. The action of the Democratic corvention, howev- er, in placing Adlai E. Stevenson in nomivation, took the delegates off their feet, but most of them asserted their intention to nominate Mr. ‘Towne not- withstanding. For two hours Senator Teller, Former Congressman Shaforth of Colorado and Cheadle of Indiana and others made speeches in favor of indcrsing the Democratic ticket, but it was not until Towne himself appeared and appealed to the convention not to nominate him, but to concentrate their forces, that the delegates calmed down and the vice presidential nomina- tion was referred to the national com- mittee. Late last night the national commit- tee of the Silver Republicans decided to indorse Stevenson. WHY WOMEN HOVE NO WINGS. Rude Criticism of a Woman Lecturer by a Mean Man Out in the Audi- ence. 1 remember once, in a society to which I belonged, a lady lecturer of the gushing order read a paper in which she was very averse to the theo- ry of a beneficent Providence. “Why.” she asked, “are we without wings, if all this omnipotent love directs the course of the unix ? Why have T not been furnished with wings where- with I might fly to the ends of the earth to my loved ones?’ There was a discussion after the paper, when a dry old one-eyed philosopher made this pithy speech: “Mr. Chairman, our lec- turer this evening complains because Providence has given her no wings. T think she has a cause of complaint. but she’s got hold of the wrong one. Her true complaint is because she’s got no brains.” The hit, though rude, went home with uproarous effect. It was, in a measure, deserved; and yet, I saw, with regret, how ready is the av erage audience to jeer at woman’s ca- pacity. To me it seems a sorry sort of gallantry which, at the opera door, waits as squire of dames with cloak and wrap, and then, in some smoking room, raises a sardonic laugh by sug- gesting that idiots are. fewer among women because so little noticeable: yet that is a tone of conversation. which, in a greater or less degree, the bulk of men very often allow themselves, part- ly .no doubt, in jest, yet with meaning in it, ncne the less.—Nineteenth Cent- ury. Pee BABY FOX. Raised by a Sheep When Its Ow. Mother Was Killed, Mr. Nye of Hoybottom, Susquehanna county, Penysylvania, has a domest} cated fox. Last spring he discovered that something was carrying off his poultry. He suspected a wildeat, and he set a trap to catch the marauder. Instead of the wildcat, the trap caught the fox, and the farmer promptly dis- patched it, says the New York Press. Hardly had he done so when a Kittle baby fox came out from the brush and moaned piteously around its dead mother. The farmer fcok it home. Re- fusing the food offered it, the little fox was in a fair way to starve to death, when Mrs. Nye had a bright idea. One of the ewes had been robbed of her young by the wildcats, and the lit- tle fox was carried up to the bereaved ewe to receive nourishment. The fox throve amazjngly on sheep’s milk, and the strange foster-mother formed a strong attachment for the little fellow. Before other animals, and to all hu- man teings except Mr. Nye, the fox is extremely shy, but it sleeps side by side with the ewe, ar.d the farmer cap handle it like a house dog. Equally Horseless. “Ha! jeered the bystanders. “The automobile has come to stay. See it stay!” “That’s all right,” responded the man on the seat, calmly lighting a ci- gar. “But why should a machine that merely displaces the horse excite the ill-will of asses?’ Then, having found out what was the matter with the machinery, he moved off, just in time.—Chicago Trib- NSS Se STARTS CAMPAIGN DEMOCRATIC RATIFICATION MEET- INGS AT LINCOLN.
