The following is the substance of Judge Parker’e speech of ac ceptance : “Mr, Chairman and Gentlemen of the Committee: “ I have resigned the office of chief judge of tbe court of ap peals of this state in order that 1 may accept tbe responsibility that the great convention you represent has put opon me, with out possible prejudice to the court to which I bad tbe honor to belong, or to tbe. eminent members of the judiciary of this state, of whom 1 may now say as a private citizen, 1 am jnstly proud. “Tbe admirable platform upon wbicb tbe party appeals to the country for its confidence sod support clearly states tbe prim ciples wbicb were so well con densed in the first inaugural ad dress of President Jefferson, and points out with force and direct ness the course to be pursued through tbeir proper application in order to insure needed reforms in both tbe legislative ana ad mlnistratlve departments of tbe government. While unhesitat ing in its promise to correct abuses and to right wrongs wherever they appear, or bows ever caused; to investigate the several administrative depart ments of the government, the conduct of whose officers has created scandals, and to punish those who have been guilty of a breacli of their trust; to oppose tbe granting of special privileges by which the few may profit at the expense of tbe many; to practico economy in the expendi tures of the moneys of the peo ple, and to that end to return once more to tbe methods of tbe founders of tbe republic by ob' serving in disbursing tbe public funds the care and caution a pru dent individual observes with respect to his own; still tbe spirit of the platform assures conservative instead of rash ac tion; the protection of the inno cent as well as tbe punishment of tbe guilty; tbe encouragement of industry, ecouomy and thrift; tbe protection of property and a guarantee of the enforcement, for tbe benefit of.al! of man’s m* alienable rights, among which as said iu the Declaration of In dependence, are “life, liberty aud the pursuit of happiness.’' Liberty, as understood in this country, meins not only tbe right of freedom from actual ser vitude, imprisonment or res traint, but the right of one to use bis faculties in all lawful wuys, to live aud work where he will aod to pursue any lawful trado or business These csseutial rights of life, liberty ami prop erty are not only guaranteed to lliocitizon by the constitution of oacliof the separate states, but the status aro by the Fourteenth amendment to tho Constitution of the United States forbidden to deprive any person of any one of them without due process of law." Judgo Darker touched upon the subject of usurpation of the functions of government by mob?, and the usurpations of one braucli of government by another, and in this connection said: “If we would have oui govern ment continue daring tho ages to come, for the benefit of those who shall succeed us, we must ever be on our guard against the danger of ururpation of that au thority which resides in the whole people, whether tbe usur pation be by officials represent ing one of the three great depart ments of government, or by a body of men acting without a commissioo from tbe people.’’ Be discussed the tariff at some length, frankly admitting that tbe Democratic party coaid not well hope to accomplish a great deal in tbe way of tariff revision with the reasonably certain pros pect of a continued Republican majority In tbe senate, bat pledg ing the best efforts toward the relief of the executive and the bouse in tbe event of Democratic success. Judge Darker expressed the conviction that we already have state and federal laws sufficient to curb tbe tariff-fostered trusts, but declared he favored further repressive legislation in the event his view of tbe case should prove Dot to be tbe correct one. He declared squarely for tbe independence of the Filipinos as soon as they shall demonstrate tbat they are capable of self-gov ernment. He declared himself opposed to tbe maintenance of a great standing army and ibe in cessant intervention of tbe gov ernment in tbe affairs of other nations.. He promised to diecuss “other questions suggested by the platform id his letter of ac ceptance, and in conclusion said WOULD REFUSE SECOND TKRM. “Mr. Chairman, in most grace ful speech you have reminded me of the great responsibility, as well as tbe great honor, ol the nomination bestowed upon me by the convention you represent this day. Be assured that both are appreciated—so keenly ap preciated that 1 am humbled in their presence. “I accept, gentlemeD of the committee, tpu nomination, and if the action of tbe convention shall be endorsed by an election by the people. 1 will, God help ing me give to the discharge of the duties of that exalted of fice the best service of which I ain capable, and at the end of the term retire to private life. I shall not be a candidate for, nor shall 1 accept, u renomination. Several reasons might be ad vanced foe this position, bnt the controlling one with me is that I am tally persuaded that no in cumbent of that office should ever be placed in a situation of possible temptation to consider what the effet of action taken by him iu bis administrative matter of great importance might have upon bis political fortunes. Questions of momen tous consequence to 'all of the people have been in tbe past and will be in the future presented to the president for determina tion, and in approaching their consideration, as well as ii weighing the facts and the argu ments bearing on them, he should be unembarrassed by any possible thought of the influence bis decision may have upon any thing whatever that may effect him personally I make this atstement, not in criticism of any of our presidents from Washing ton down who have either held the office for two terms or sought to succeed themselves; tor strong arguments can be advanced in support of tlie re-election of n president. It is simply iny judg ment tlmt tlie interests of this country are now so vast and tho questions presented are frequent ly of such overpowering magni tude to tlie people that it is in dispensable to tlie maintenance of a befitting attitude before the people, not only that the chief magistrate should lie independ ent, but that that independence should bo known of all men.” I Hews and 'Dotes Frank T.

The homo it builds could scarcely be called s web; it is s huge snare, or net, of yellow silk from five to ten feet in diameter. This is spread across the fissures and chasms in the rocks. This net is al most strong enough for a hammock, and its supporting ropes range from fire to twenty feet, as the circum stances mav demand. These ropes are made of a serin of twisted webe and are about at large in diameter si s lead pencil. t This huge tnp is not set for flies tnd mosquitoes, but for birds and big moths tnd butterflies Sometimes even small skeletons of birds and lizards hnvo been found enmeshed. The spider who owns this big web is about four and a half inches in width and six in length, tnd its legs are from nine to ten inches long.—Montreal Star. A Hidden Sentence. I don’t think I should ever have known who Susie was, only one day I found her doll and took it to her. She had dropped it on the sidewalk and it might have bcenjost if I had not rescued it. Susie’s mamma in vited me into the parlor, and I stay ed for some time chatting to her. Susie, however, although she listen ed and sometimes laughed, did not join in the conversation, and when tlie picked up a book I noticed she hold it upside down. Then her mamma informed me that she had never learned either to read or to talk. Why do you suppose that was? The answer will be found in a sentence of four words hidden somewhere in this paragraph.—XeW York Herald. Knife end Pork Surgery.

The surgeon per forms many operations without ever touching the tissues, much at we eat our meals by aid of forks and spoons, instead of clawing our food. By practice with suitably devised metal instruments, which, of course, are capable of complete sterilisa tion, he has found that he can get through tcit eoaxit operations, creo that for appendicitis in tbe quies cent interval, without ever touching the wound.
