CROKER-HILL EPISODE. Tammany Chieftain Throws the Ex-Governor of New York Hard Fall in Committee rieeting. The New York state delegations fur nished the sensation of the day ing the opening of the Democratic convention when, after a stormy ses sion of three hours, they put forth a candidate for vice-president, in the person of John W. Keller, commis sioner of charities of the citv of New York. This was done after David B. Hill had been defeated as a candidate for the New York representation on the committee on platform by Augustas Van Wyck, and having been offered New York’s indorsement for vice president, had declined it. It w r as 2 o’clock in the afternoon when ex-Senator Hill was notified that there was a movement on foot in the Tammany delegation, assisted by King county and Erie, to sidetrack him by not putting him on the plat form committee, but by standing for him for vice-president. Shortly afterwards Mr. Hill was sent for, and had a long conference with Mr. Croker, Mr. Shea, ex-Senator Murphy and Mr. McCarren. He was notified that the delegation stood ready to stand f >r him for vice presi dent. He replied that he did not want it, and was then told flatly that he could not go on the committee on platform, Mr. Croker intimating that the Bryan element did want him there. Some sharp discussion followed. All through the controversy the ex-gover nor sat quietly. Then he arose, and facing Richard Croker, who sat in the rear of the room, said slowly and dis tinctly: “There have been said some things that have seemed to be reflections upon ray attitude in 1896. It should be remembered in passing such criti cisms that I have always been consist ently Democratic. No man has a right to question my Democracy.” At this time Mr. Croker rose, saying in what was evidently intended to be a pacific tone, “I don’t think anybody intended to criticise your Democracy, but it is believed that as you were so strongly against the silver plank, a new man would be more acceptable,” and then Mr. Croker aroused Mr. Hill by adding: “And there is no reason why you should think that the position is reserved for you every year.” No, I have no such idea, answer ed Hill, shaking his linger at Croker, but 1 want you to remember that; what I did and what I saidl in the mittee and in the convention of 1896 ; - was done for the Democrats of New York state, and when I went home I stood for the ticket as well as you did.” “Oh, no, you did not,” exclaimed Mr. Croker. “You were not heard of much during that campaign.” “Equally as much og you were, when at. critical times in the party’s history in the]state,you were living in Europe,” retorted Mr. Hill. “You are sore,” replied Croker. “I accuse you,” exclaimed Hill, “of trying to make me a vice presidential j candidate against my will. I tell you now that I will not have it. Yon can’t ( humiliate me on one proposition and feed me a sop on another. ” He sat down and a vote was then taken, resulting: For Van Wyck, 40; for Hill, 2G; absent or not voting, 6. Senator Hill, upon the announcement of the vote, immediately left the room. PLATFORM PLEASES BRYAN. Nominee Says Kuril Blank of the Docu ment Is Clear and Kxplicit. Mr. Bryau gave out at Lincoln, Thursday night, the follow ing on the Kansas City platform: “lam very gratified to learn of the adoption of a platform which is clear and explicit on every question. Tho controversy over the silver plank was not a controversy between men who differed iu principle, but rather a dif ference of opinion as to the best method of stating the question. Our appeal is to the patriotism an( j con science of the \ eon’.e, an d we must take them into t cur confidence if we expect the»^ to have confidence in us,” Charter For Cotton Oil Company.

The earth is growing heavier at tho average rate of 500 tons a year. The meteors, or shooting stars, in passing through the earth's atmosphere, are burned up and fall on to the earth’s surface, occasionally in a heavy mnss, but most usually in small meteoric, dust. Professor Nordenskjold, from his great experience, estimated that, from the cause named, 500 tons fall untfonn lly and steadily over the whole globe In each year, and the observations of Russian scientists yield a similar re sult. These meteoric streams, says another astronomer, are really small planetary bodies, revolving around the sun in fixed orbits by the force of gravity. The earth revolves on its axis at the rate of 1,000 miles an hour, and speeds through space in its orbit around the sun at the rate of 1,000 miles every minute, nnd in August and November plunges into the orbit of these small planets, and the very opposite direc tion. The rapidity with which they enter our atmosphere and the friction thus generated are so enormous that they are set fire to, the smaller ones being consumed and falling in dust, while the larger ones occasionally reach the earth in the shape of meteoric stone or iron. Wealth Is an Essential. Belgrave and Eaton squares are In the southern portion of the west end of London, nnd both are very hand some and extensive. The value of prop erty there, as in the districts just men tioned, Is literally prodigious. Only the richest people can afford to dwell in these quarters and only the richest peo ple do. Many persons of title and long descent, who have not money enough to occupy their ancestral homes, rent them to tenants with fatter purses than their own. Thus decade by decade London society is losing its old repute for exclusiveness, and the claims of money are superseding those of birth. Many of the oldest English families, indeed, have now retired altogether from active participation in social af fairs. Parvenus and upstarts hobnob with the rich nobility, and not seldom intermarry with them as well. To Cure a Cold in One Day. Take Laxsti ve Bromo Quinine Tablets.
