WHITNEY, OF NEW YOKE. dared that practical politic* demanded Gray in the second place. Young John 8. Bhca, of Kentucky, was sent up to second Mr. Stevenson’s nomination in behalf of a part of the delegation. His speech was roundly cheered. Edwin Fuhl went up to the platform to speak for Michigan. He presented the name of Chief Justice B. Morse, of the Peninsula State. New York being called, Gov. Flower arose and announced that New York bad uo candidate to present. North Carolina seconded the name of Stevenson, and then there was a skip a'ong the states in the roll until Texas whs reached, and its voice was lifted for Gray.

The hreez • grew to a gale of applause. It subsided only to rise aga n when North Carolina stepp d into the Stevenson col umn. When Ohio shot out thirty-eight of her forty six votes for Stevenson the excitement grew, and when the Key stone State dropped sixty-four votes into the hat of Gray, a counter current of cheering caused a cloudburst of confu sion over the convention floor.

The usual resolutions of thanks to'tha officers were passed, and the national committee nomination were made. Gen eral .Pa’rck Collins, of Massachusetts, thentook the platform and moved "that the democratic committee should, at the next national convention, provide accom modations only for delegates, alternates, the press, national committee, but for no others. This was demanded in view of the gallery interruptions that are possible and have been demonstrated. The reso lut on was referred to the executive com mittee of the new national committee, with an affirmative recommendation. At 5:20 o’clock the convention adjourn ed sine die. VICE-PRESIDENT STEVENSON. Sketch of His Lire -His Public Ser vices. The nomination by the Chicago demo cratic convention of Adlai E Stevenson as the candidate of the party for vice pre-i lent was received in Washington with every manifestation of popular ap proval by the democrats. Mr. Steven-on was born in 1835, in Christian coun'y, Kentucky, near the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. His parents removed from North Carolina to Kentucky, one of his ancestors being a signer of the Mecklenburg declaration of independence. At twenty yea.s of age Mr. Stevenson graduate ! from Centre college, Kentucky, ami married Miss L't tie Green, daughter of the president of that institution. Among his classmates were Senator Blackburn, Senator David son, of Florida; ex-Governor Mc- Creary and many other distingu sh ed men. Soon after graduating Mr. Stevenson removed to Illinois, where he studied law with the late David Davis, and was admitttd to the bar at Bloom ington. He rose rapidly in his profes sion, and was elected prosecuting attor ney of McLean county. He was a .presi dential elect >r in 1884, and was twice elected to the house of representatives as a democrat from a district largely repuh lican. He was appointed first assistant postmaster general by Cleveland July 0, 1885. One of the last official acts of President Cleveland waste nominate Mr Stevenson for justice of the supreme court of the District of Columbia,but the republican senate failed to act upon bis nomination. Since his retirement from tho pcstoffiee department, be has been engaged in the practice of law at Bloomington, 111. MR. CLEVELAND TALKS. He Issues a Statement to the Press of the Country. At 4:80 o’clock Thursday morning, Mr. Cleveland, through Governor Rus sell, sent from Gray Gables tho following statement to the press: “1 should certainly be chargeable with dense insincerity if I was not profoundly touched by this uew proof of confidence and trust of the great party to which I belong and whose mandates claim my loyal obedience. “I am confident that our fellow coun trymen are ready lo receive with ap proval the principles of true democracy, and I cannot rid myself of the belief that to win success it is only necessary J to persistently and honestly advocate i these principles. Differences of opinion and judgment in democratic conventions are by no means unwholesome indica tions, but it is hardly conceivable in view of the importance of our succe-s to tiie | country and to the party that there should be anywhero among democrats any lack of harmonious and active effort i to win in tho campaign which opens be j fore us. 1 have, therefore, no concern on th it subject. “It will certainly be my constant en deavor to deserve the support of every deraoernt." DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE Meets and Closes the Business of the Convention. A Chicago ilispitcb says: The demo cratic national committee met Thursday afternoon and closed the business con necti d with the holding of the national convention in Chicago and adjourned to meet iu New York with the notification 1 committee when it assembles there to of j llcially inform Mr. Cleveland of the ac tion of the convention. This date will be fixed to suit Mr. Cleve land’s wishes. The retiring mem bers of the national committee gave way to their successors. Chairman Brice, Secretary Shcerin and Treasurer Canda, of tile old committee, were re-elected to the s ime offices in the temporary organi zation of ti e new committee pending pennanent organization. Resist ions of sympathy with the families of Messrs. Broadwater, of Montana, and Harbour, of Virginia, who died while members of the national committee, were passed, and also resolutions of thanks to various per sons GLADSTONE PELTED. Struck in the Eye by a Woman Mho Threw “For Luck.” A London cablegram says: Mr. Glad stone, in a speech at Cher er Saturday night declared that his opponents were fighting with weapons of intimid tioii, invention and religious biyo ry, and that for the Hist time in our history the prime miuister was a firebrand in the Uu 1. On his way to the meeting Gladst ne was struck in the eye by som 'thing thrown at him. It was aubsequ ntly revealed that his assailant was a woman. At the con clusion of his speech he was forced to consult an oculist aud went back to Ha warden with his eye bandaged. It is re ported that the woman who threw the inissi.e at him sad she threw it "for luck. ’ A FATAL CLOUDBURST. Many l’coplc Killed and Thousands in Property Destroyed. Dispatelns of Sunday iroui Mason City, lowa, state tiiat complete repo ts from the cloudbuist that laid waste many sec tions of Chickasaw county are now in. In Fredericksburg two persons were kill ed nud a dozen injured, some fatally. At Summer five persons were killed' out right. The destruction to property and growing crops will exceed 1300,000 in the path of the storm. The homes of twenty-eight farmers were completely destroyed, and as many more partially wrecked. Many of the farmers are iu sured and the balance have decided to ask for assistance. A Monument for Polk. The friends of the late L. L Polk, president of the National Farmers’ Alli ance, have formally organized a P-lk monumental and relief association, w hose purpose is to raise funds for a monument over his grave at Oakland cemetery at Raleigh, and for the relief of his family as far as may b« thought proper. Do Animals Commit Suicide? There is a story of a poor cat, de prived of her kittens, who hanged her self in the folk of a branch. But this may have been an accident; we should have given the cat the benefit of the doubt. News comes of a dog ttho Com mitted suicide. His master declined to take him out to shoot rabbits, and the dog went and drowned himself in a pond. The story is true, but Australian, and the dog may have merely exhibite i an extreme form of colonial sensitive ness. If we once admit that a dog may reason on life and death (not being a mad dog), and exercise a has>y but rational choice, it is plain that the whole aystem of ethics will have to be altered. The poor Indian may be right about the equal sky, which is a poor prospect for people who ae not fond of dogs. The ghosts of dogs have been seeu, and are as well vouched for as any o'hers; so, on the whole, the poor Indian may be less untutored than the poet imagined.— Andrew Lang in Longman’s Magasinc. He and His Wife. Wife—“l need a litt'e more money.” Husband—“lt is only two days since Wife—“ Now, see here!

Ancient Rules for Carving. Our ancestors fully recognized the value of good carving, and many were the rules by whicli a carver w, s expected to be gov erned. The ancient “Bokeof Kervyng,” among other things, admonishis him to touch venison only with his knife and to “set never on fynchc, flesch, beeste ner fowle more than two fyngera and a thumbe.” Fingers he was naturally obliged to use, since forks were a luxury of later date, and were Dot in private use until James I’s reign. Piers Gaveston, the favorite of Edward 11, had three silver forks for eating pears with, but this waa regarded, no doubt, os a great and special luxury.—Kausas City Star. Writing on Wood. Some persons are of the opinion that the first writing was upon thin pieces of wood. From their convenience this seems probable. Such boards were used at an early period by the Greeks and Romans, and were frequently covered with wax, which was, of course, more i nsilv written upon than the bare wood. Where wax was used errors were readily erased by rubbing with the blunt efid of the piece of metal which served for a pen. To make the writing more visible it appears that black substance was smeaiod over the surface of the white wax and remained in the scratched marks.—New York World. In Confidence. Old Friend—“ You should always take your wife into your confidence. Women appreciate that sort of thing.” De Broker—“Oh, I do that; that is in part." Old Friend—“ You tell her of your gains and losso«, I presume?” De Broker—“ Urn—l ulways tell her of my losses.”—New York Weekly. A Precious Ornament.
