CURRENT COMMENT.
Bt the aid of a new French telescope
the moon will be brought within 88
miles of the earth.
I.V Michigan a spiritualist has been
hired by a sea captain to point out
where a vessel went down.
Chicago is to have a gold exhibit
next fall, in which the gold fields ot
every section of America will be repre
sented.
A tiny electric light fastened to the
end of a pencil is a recent invention to
enable reporters to make notes In
darkness.
It is the impression of the Philadel
phia Ledger that Illinois, more than
any other state, will bo the battle
ground of the coming presidential
campaign.
Citizens of Pittsburgh, Pa., will
erect a monument to Stephen Collins
Foster, author of "My Old Kentucky
Home," "Old Black Joe" and other
southern melodies.
Half of the newspapers speak of
"William McKinley. Jr." This is on-
tirely wrong. The junior should be
j dropped, after a man s name when his
father dies. Ex-Gov. McKinloy's fath
er died several years ago. There can
be no junior unless there is a living
senior of tho same name.
Considerable of a sensation was re
cently created by the formal declara
tion of tho Women's Rescue league at
Washington that the bicycle is a pro
moter of immorality and that the
, league intended to begin a national
crusade against tho use of bicycles by
women. There are 45,000 bicyclists In
'Washington and at least 15,000 are
women and girls.
At the recent international Sunday
school convention at Boston some sig
nificant figures as to the growth of
Sunday school work were furnished to
the public. It was stated that there
were 13,000,000 adults on tho roll of
Sunday school pupils and teachers.
This roll does not include Catholic
children, nor the children and parents
who belong to non-Evangelical Prot
estant churches.
A Swedish woman in Chicago has
started the somersault cure for women
who desire to improve their figures.
"Sometimes," she says, "it takes logic
nnd patience to persuade a stout, dig
nified lady to turn a somersault, but
once you learn how to turn somer
saults, even at 50, the exhilaration ol
it grows on you, and its effects on one's
girdle measure are simply astonishing.
The sornersnult does more for a clumsy
fat woman than anything I can recom
mend." The hot weather record was
broken at two points at least in
Arizona recently. The director of
the weather bureau at I'hccnlx re
ceived a requisition from the ob
server at Fort Mojave for a now ther
mometer. The old instrument had a
capacity of 127 degrees, but the tem
perature went beyond that point and
the instrument burst. At Parker, on
the Colorado river, there was a similar
occurrence, where a thermometer of
123 degrees went to pieces The heat
in both places was unprecedented.
A letter has been Issued in Phila
delphia by the American Anti-Vivisection
of Pennsylvania, appealing to
the public not to circulate sensational
stories about alleged mad dogs and the
terrible results of people bitten by
them. Such accounts, it states, fright
en people into nervous disorders, and
yet there is upon record a great mass
of testimony from physicians asserting
the extreme rarity of hydrophobia,
even in the dog. The letter quotes a
number of prominent physicians in
support of the theory that practically
there is no such affliction to mankind
as hydrophobia.
Samuel Plimsoll, of England, who
has won immortality already by giv
ing to the safety load line of British
ships the name of "Plimsoll mark," ar
rived in the United States recently as
full of a new project as ever he was of
improving the lot of the British sailor.
Be hopes to start a movement in this
country which will toad to eradicate
what he terms our "Inherited and un
just dislike of and ill feeling toward
the mother country." He believes the
feeling starts with the children and
is taught to them from school histories
that misstate facts, and he Is going to
examine the histories.
There will come a time when the
question of industrial co-operation in
tbe United States, as one means of
settling the vexed relations between
employers and employes, will receive
greater attention than has yet been
given it. The reports submitted at
the recent co-operative congress in En
gland demonstrated the success of in
dustrial co-operation there. In 30
years the number of co-operativo so
cieties have doubled, being now 1,700,
with a membership of 1,400,000. The
capital of these societies is $75,000,000,
their annual business is $250,000,000 and
their profits 825,000,000.
In considering the loss by fire, insur
ance men look at the subject from two
points. The property loss is the total
loss; the insurance loss the loss that
falls upon tho Insurance companies.
In the United StntnR thara wtm aa nm
fires in 1895, which destroyed 53,801
pieces oi property; the total loss
amounted to si4nn.2?.s. nnrf ih in.
urance loss to 834,093,030. These
amounts are enormous, but the aver
Ago property loss and the average in
surance loss were smaller than ever
before, being 53,793 for tho former and
52.228 for tho latter, as against S3,9i
Mai J2.530 respectively in 1S04.

for tho presidency arrived at the Mo

McKinley appeared on tho porch
cheer after cheer arose from the crowd.
Senator Thurston then stepped upon

notification. Mr. McKinley responded
as follows:
Senator Thurston and Sentlemen ot the
Notification Committee ot the Republican Na
tional Contention: To bo selected as their
presidential candidate by a groat party con
vention, representing so vast a number of the
people of tho United State. Is a most distin
guished honor, tor which I would not conceal
my high appreciation, although deeply sensible
ot tho ereat responsibilities of the trust and my
Inability to bear them w ltbout the generous and
constant support ot my fellow countrymen.
Great as Is the honor conferred, equally ardu
ous and Important Is the duty Imposed, and ia
accepting one I assume the other.Telylni; upon
the patrlotto'devotlon ot the people to the best
Interests of our beloved country and tho sus
talnfcig care and aid of Him without whose
support all we do Is empty and vain. Should
the people ratlfr the choice of your great con
vention for which you speak, my only aim will
be to promote the public good which, in Amer
ica, is always the good of the greatest number,
the honor of our country and the welfare of the
people.
Tho questions to be settled in the contest
this year are as serious and as important us
any of the great governmental problems
that have confronted us In the past quar
ter of a century. They command our so
ber judgment nnd a settlement free from
partisan prejudice and passion, beneficial to
ourselves and befitting tbe honor and grandeur
of the republic. They touch eery in
terest of our common country. Our indus
trial supremacy, our productive capacity, our
business and commercial prosperity, our labor
and its rewards, our national credit and cur
rency, our proud financial honor and our splen
did free citizenship tbe birthright of every
American are all InvoHed in tbe pending
campaign, and thus eery home In the land Is
directly and intimately connected with their
propr settlement.
Great are the Issues involved in the coming
election and eager and earnest the people for
their right determination. Our domestic trade
must bo won baclt and and our Idle working
men employed in gainful occupations at Amer
ican wages. Our home market must be
restored to its proud rank of first In
tho world, nnd our foreign trade, so per
ceptibly cut off byaderse national legisla
tion, reopened on fair and equitable terms
for our surplus agricultural and manufac
turing products. Protection and reciproc
ity, twin measures of a true American
policy, should again command the earnest en
couragement of the government at Washing
ton. Public confidence must bo resumed and
tho skill, the energy and the capital of
our country find ample employment at
home, sustained, encouraged and defended
against tho unequal competition und seri
ous disadvantages with which they are now
contending. The government of the United
States must raise enough money to moot
both its current expenses and increasing
needs. Its revenues should be so ralkcd as
to protect the material Interests of our
people with the llchtest possible drain upon
their resources, and maintain that high stand
ard of civilization which has distinguished our
country for more than a century of its exist
ence. The Income of tbe government. I repeat
should equal its necessary proper expenditure.
A failure to pursue this policy has compelled
tho government to borrow money In a time of
peace, to sustain Us credit and pay Its dally
expenses. This policy should bo reversed and
that, too, as speedily as possiblo
Tbe money of the United States and every
kind or form of It, whether of paper, silver or
gold, must be as good as th- best In the world
It must not only be current at its full face
value at home, but It must be counted at par
In any and ccry commercial center of the
globe. Tho sagacious and far-seeing pol
icy of tho great men who founded our
government, the teachings and acts of
the wisest financiers at every stags
In our history, tho steadfast faith and splendid
achievements of tho great party to which wo
belong, and the genius and Integrity of our
people, hat o alwajs demanded this, and will
eer maintain it. The dollar paid to the farm
er, tho wago earner and the pensioner must
continue forever equal In purchasing and debt
pa lng power to the dollar paid to any govern
ment creditor
Tho platform adopted by tho republican
national convention has received my care
ful consideration and has my unqualified
approval It Is n matter of gratlQcatlon to
me, as I am suro it must be to you, and to
republicans everywhere, and to all our peo
ple, that the expressions ot Its declaration
of principles are so direct, clear and em
phatic. They arc too plain and positive to
leave any chance for donbt or question as to
their purpose and meaning' But you will not
expect me to discuss Its provisions at length
or la any detail at this time It will, however,
be my duty and pleasure at some future time
to make to you and through you to the great
party you represent, a more formal acceptance
ot the nomination tendered me.
No one could be more profoundly grateful
than I for manifestations ot publlo confidence
of which you have so eloquently spoken. It
shall bo my aim to attest this appreciation by
an unsparing devotion to what I esteem the
best Interests of tho people, and in this work
I ask the counsel nnd support of jou, gentle
men, and of every other friend of the country
Tho generous expressions with which you,
sir, convey the official notice of my nomina
tion, are hlgnly appreciated, and as fully re
ciprocated, and I thank you and your associ
ates of tho notification committee nnd the
great party and convention at whose Instance
you eomo for the high and exceptional distinc
tion bestowed upon me.
Following the formal speeches, H.H.
Smith, secretary of tho notification
committee, presented a gavel made
from a log taken from I ho cabin in
which Lincoln lived.

Bake.
Washington, July B. For the first
time Saturday the flag o'f the United
States floated with 45 stars on Its blue
field, indicating the admission of Utah
to the sisterhood of states. General
orders issued by the war and navy de
partments had prepared the way for
the change, and for several months
the flagmakers have been busy in plac
ing a new star on the flags in stock.
From economical considerations the old
army flags will not be retired at once,
but will be replaced only as they are
worn out In the case of the naval
flags the change was more easily made,
for those on hand on shipboard may
be readily altered by the expert sail
makers. JUMPED INTO THE LAKE.

The Hoc That Got the bucks.
A good story is told of hunters from
Washington who went to tho coast of
North Carolina to shoot ducks. There
were six men In the party and they had
three dogs with them. They hunted
in couples. Shooting was good and
from each of the six couples the sound
of guns being being fired notified their
friends of their success, for they were
only a short distance apart Each
couple was somewhat Indignant, be
cause whenever a duck fell their own
dog failed to get it, one dog seeming
to secure almost every one of the wild

gether. "Well, what luck?" was the
general greeting. "Elegant but your
dog got our ducks," was the universal
respond. Then they looked at each
other, while from out the little bay

the forward end of which sat the dog
