TAFT AND SHERMAN.
The Republican party in con-
vention assembled Jast week in A.
Chicago, Illinois, nominated
Hon. William H. Taft, the pres*
•nt secretary of war, and Con
gressman Sherman of New York
to head the ticket.
We predicted thai Mr. Taft
would get the nomination nearly
nine month ago, andof course we
would have been glad to seen our
able governor, Aljglft B. Cum
mins, nominated lpr Vice-Presi
dent, as he would- havfc adde
strength to the ticket, especially
in the Middle West He perhaps
would have been nqpninated were
it not for his enemies who hap
pened to be on the Relegation and
for personal reasons blocked it
Such old soreheads ought to be
kicked out of the party.
We believe that Mr. Taft is
the next best man if Roosevelt
could not run. Mr. Taft is
great man, a success at his occu
pation, a man broad in his views
with construction. l3e will grow
into the hearts of the American
people as time comes, and he will
we hope be elected and make
good president.

BLIND TOM DEAD.
Cared For in His Decling Years
by the Daughter of HU
Old Master—A Child
All His Lite.
New York, June 19,—Thomas Wig
gins, the "Blind Tom" whose strancre
mastery of the piano without teaching
or scientific knowledge of the instru
ment made thousands wonder, died on
Saturday at the home of a daughter
of his old master and one time owner,
Col. James N. Bethune oi Georgia,
Mrs. Albert J. Lerche, who was Miss
Eliza Bethune before her marriage,
had cared for the old blind Negro
musician for many years past, keep
ing him happy and comfortable in her
home, 60 Twelvth street, Hoboken. It
was there he died suddenly of apo
plexy.
Blind Tom" was twice erroneously
reported dead—once in 1903, and prior
to that a body was identiBed as his
after the Johnstown flood, was buried
as his and a tombstone put over it,
ma'ked with his name.
This time tbe famous old musician is
really dead. Bis body lies in the
Frank Campbell company's funeral
chapel, 241 West Twenty-third street,
and after the last service "Blind
Tom's" funeral march, composed by
himself and in a way said to be typi
cal of his own life, will be played, on
the chapel organ.
In this composition which many mu
sicians have declared to be of uncom
mon merit, a passage of great sonority
is immeaditly followed by a passage
of such lightness and gayety that the
effect produced is one of pathos. The
Negro weak mined all through his life,
was as much a child in middle age as
at 7, and his pleasures were those of a
child.
He applauded himself after the per
formance of every number, laughed
ightly and with little provocation,
and alwsys needed a guardian. The
sadness of a blind life aed the gayety
of a child't nature are shown in tho
funeral march which was played pub
licly at the funeral of his old master a
number of years ago.
The fear of death was strong in
Blind Tom in his later years. If he
felt the wind blowing against him he
would exclaim, "Tom's in a draft, he
may catch cold and die, wouldnt that
be terrible!" But he was spared the
gony of the fear of surely approach
ing death, the stroke of apoplexy
striking him unconscious, and the end
following in a short time.
When Col. Bethune bought Charity
Wiggins she bad in her arms a picka
ninny blind, feeble and not considered
valuable as a slave asset. So Tom was
"thrown in' bv his mother's former
master He was a very small boy
when he discovered that for the loss of
his eight and the blight upon his mind
his Creator had endowed him with a
gift: so strange and yet so productive of
happiness to him that he has. in a way
been a living subject for marvel dur
ing tbe last half century.
The boy began by repeating words
that be had heard about him, mimick
ing everyone and trying to imitate all,
sounds that fell on bis ear. When he
first heard a piano played, every note
ot tbe music was stamped in his mind,
and grooping to the instrument, he
he found that he could reproduce the
music he had heard.
With the instrument he could imitate
the tinkling of water in a fountain,
the- fall of rain, and the noise
of the storm. His own compo
sition which gave' him the most de
light, he called" What the Winds and
the Waves told Tom.'*
The fame of the blind Negro boy'
spread quicklv, and during the twenty
years and more that he performed in
public here and abroad he made a
great deal of money. A son of his
old master toured him until about
fifteen years ago, when he retired
and went to live in New Jersey. Mrs.
Lerche was appointed his guardian
twenty years ago, and has since
looked after him "1'he old Negro's
last days were spent with his piano
or playing in the Lerche home, fre
quently holding imaginary receptions.
Up to ten years bgo the old mother
of the freak pianist was still alive in
Georgia, very aged. Tom was in his
sixtieth year. In his reproduction of
the performances of master pieces on
the pl-ino he was said to play with
conception of muslo that was as great
as his skill. Bis technique came as
ttiturally as did bis musical emotions
BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT
(Special to Bystander.)
Of all the notable social gatherings,
among the colored people of Chicago
during the convention week, the most
brilliant was the Military Full Dress
Reception and Ball given at the First
Regiment Armory by the Eighth In
fantry, Illinois National Guards, in
honor of the delegates and visitors at
tending the National Republican Con
vention on Thursday evening, June 18.
From 9 o'clock to 9:45, the famous
Eighth Regiment Band, under the lead
ership of Sergt. Wm. E. Berry, render
ed several selections, The rendition of
these selections proved each membei of
the organization an artist, and in their
leader they .have a man capable and
efficient.
At 9:45, first call for regimental for
mation 9:50 assembly call and at 10
o'clock adjutant's call. For thirty
minutes thiB justly celebrated regiment
went through varions maneuvers and
Intricate formations, bringing forth
rounds of applause. Under the leader
ship of that brilliant officer. Col. John
R. Marshall, this regiment has reached
the front rank, having won all honors
for which it has competed and, owing
ta its grand acheivements of the past,
has been selected to represent the great
state of Illinois at Indianapolis, Ind.,
where the National maneuvers will be
held in August.
At 10:80 the ceremonies attending
the presentation of decorations award
ed for long and honorable service in the
regiment and for proficiency in rifle
practice during the season of 1907, was
inaugurated by Col. Marshall, who, in
a short speech introduced Hon. Nelson
Crews of Kansas City, Mo., who made
the presentation speech. Mr. Crews
upheld his reputation as an orator on
this occasion. He complimented the
regiment on the excellent service it has
rendered, and extolled the black Ameri
can soldiers for their many noble and
heroic deeds.
Colonel John R. Marshall.
With this ceremony over, the grand
march was started, Col. and Mrs. Mar
shall leading Eight hundred people
participated in this march and many
new evolutions were attempted and
gone through. The dancing which fol

estimated at two thousand.
Thg elite of Milwaukee, Detroit,
Clevelad, St Louis, Pittsburg, India
napolis and other western citie? were in
attendance, and {delegations from the
larger, eastern cities were in evidence.
Chicago's swell society was there in all
its beauty and finery. Never before in
the history of Chicago has there been
present at one time so many represen
tative men and women of the Negro
race as during last week in Chicago.

No Need of Suffering from Rheuma»

It is a mistake to allow rheumatism
to become chronic, as the pain can al

which it affords is «lone worth many
times its cost. It makes sleep and rest
possible. Even ia cases of long stand

count of the relief which it affords.
