INSURANCE COMPANY
of New York.
HENRY B. STOKES, President.
First— It Is An Old Company.
Other things being equal, an old companp is to be pre
ferred as it has had a chance to prove itself and make a record
by which it can be judged. “The Old Manhattan” has made
ita record, to which todav it points with pride.
Second— It Is A Clean Company.
In the fifty years of its existence, no breach of scandal has
been directed towards it; no questionable practices have been
entered into bv its management, and no examination of its
~’oks or accounts has shown cause for criticism.

FOR VICE PRESIDENCY.
Populist Nominee Withdraws la
Favor of Adlal Stevenson.
Duluth, Minn., Aug. B.—Hon.
Charles A. Towne, Populist nom
inee for vice president, has with
drawn in favor of Hon. Adlai E.
Stevenson, the Democratic nomi
nee for vice president. Mr. Towne s
letter quitting the race is as fol
lows :
“Hon. H. M. Ringdal,chairman,
and the members of the commit
tee on notification of the candi
date for vice president of the peo
ple’s party national convention,
held at Sioux Falls, S. D., Mav 9,
and 10, 1900. Gentlemen: When
on the sth of July, at Kansas City,
I had the honor to receive from
you the official notification of the ,
action of your national conven
tion in nominating me for the of- 1
fice of vice president of the Uuited
States, I requested, in view of an
alogous and delicate circumstances
in the presidential situation, that
you permit me to take the subject
under careful advisement before
announcing a decision either ac
cepting or kecliniug that nomina
tion. This request you were pleased
to grant, and now, after mature
consideration of all the factors
involved that concern the welfare
of the cause of political reform in
this country and my own duty
: thereto, 1 am constrained to in
form you m all respect that I
must decline the nomination ten
dered me by the Sioux Falls con
vention.
WHY HE QUITS RACE.
“Iu annouucing this conclusion
1 cannot forbear to express to you
and through you to the great con
vention whose commission you
hold, as well as to that patriotic
body of advanced political thought
that your convention represented
my deep sense of honor conferred
upon me. To be the unanimous
choice of such convention for the
second highest office iu the service
of the republic would be a distinc
tion to any citizen. Two circum
stances, however, add emphasis to
this consideration iu the present
instance. First, that the nomina
tion was unsolicited by me, and
secondly, that the convention, as
iu the case also of its nominee for
the presidency, went out of its own
political organization to select a
candidate. To my mind this ac
tion of the Sioux Falls convention
in nominating for president a rep
resentative of the Democratic par
ty and for vice president a repre
sentative of the silver Republican
party is one of the most encour
aging and inspiring spectacles in
recent politics. Its unselfishness
and magnanimity, its testimony
to the precedence of the cause of
,the people over any merely parti
san advantage, raised the proce
dure of that convention into the
serene upper air of true civic hero
ism. From such a spirit as this,
what service, what sacrifice can be
asked iu the name of the republic.
It was, of course, the expectation
of your convention that its nomi
nation for the vice presidency
| would prove acceptable to the con-
I ventions of the Democratic and
silver Republican parties called to

of July. The silver Republicans,
1,880 delegates, representing twen
ty-eight states anil territories,were
indeed eager to name the ticket
chosen at Sionx Falls, hut to the
great Democratic convention an
other course commended itself.
The name of your nominee was
presented to that convention and
waß receive.! with remarkable dem
onstrations of approval by the
enormous number of citizen spec
tators and with the utmost respect
by the delegates. But geographic
al considerations and .he fact that
in certain parts of the country it
was deemed wise to defer to a sen
timent demanding that the candi
date should be a man already iden
tified with the Democratic organi
zation. not opjy by holding its
principles and advocating its
cause, but also by name and pro
fession, determined the selection
of the Hon. Adlai E. Steyenson,
of Illinois, a man of uuimpeacha
ble character and of ripe political
experience, who aB a member of
congress more than twenty years
ago was a close associate and co
laborer of Gen. J. B. Weaver and
other great leaders in the reform
political movements of that day,
and who as vice president, from
1898 to 1897, distinguished himself
1 by rebelling against the betrayal
> of Democratic principles by Preßi
* dent Cleveland.
HIS DUTY TO RETIRE. i
“When Mr. Stevenson had been ]
nominated what was it my duty i
to do ? My name had had gone
before the convention along with
his and had been beaten. The
nomination had been made de
cisively and with absolute fairness,
The candidate chosen was person
ally unexceptionable; his lovalty
to our principles was beyond ques
tion and his career had been a
long exemplification of them.
Manifestly it was my duty to sup
port that nomination. Acting
upon this conviction, I went be
fore the silver Republican con
vention and succeeded in persuad
ing it not to nominate me, and
the vice presidential matter was
finally referred to the silver Re
publican national committee with
lull powers. Jester in the night
this committee placed the name
of Mr. Stevenson on its ticket as
a candidate foi vice president.
“This recital clearly develops
the situation as it now is. Every
body knows that either Mr. Ste
venson or Mr. Roosevelt is to be
the next vice president of the
United States. lam expected to
take a laborious part in the cam
paign. I shall, of course, advo
cate the election of Bryan and
Stevenson. The Democratic con
vention, before which I was a can
didate, nominated Bryan and
Stevenson. The silver Republican
party, of which organization I was
the official head for nearly four
years, has nominated Bryan and
Stevenson, in what light should
I appear before the American peo
ple if, while advocating the elec
tion of one ticket, I should be go
iug through the form of running
on another ? Nobody in the Uni
ted States would think I had the
slightest chance of being elected,
and nobody would believe that I
considered myself seriously as a
candidate unless at the same time
he believed mo to be absolutely
lacking in common sense, Whom
could such a phantom candidacy
deceive ? What respect should I
deserve, indeed, if in such a mat
ter I should attempt to deceive
anybody whatsoever ? I know the
people’s party to be composed of
men exceptionally keen and ex
pert in political judgment. So
obvious a shame could not elude
their vision. Either they would
resent my implied uncomplimeut-1
ary estimate of them or they
would he justified in forming one
of me which could result only in
i injuring the cause which it had
' been the professed object of my
[ mistaken folly in advance Con
l sistency and candor iu politics,
I: therefore, my own seif respect,
" | proper deference to the people’s
party, and a sincere regard f<>r the
welfare of the cause of political
reform in the United States, all
counsel that I now respectfully
replace in your hands the honor
able trust which your great party
committed to me in contemplation
of a different complexion of af
fairs than that which has resulted.
CONFIDENCE IN BRYAN.
<
“In conclusion, I may be per- |
mitted to express the profound
satisfaction which I feel in contem
plating the present attitude of
the Democratic party In 1896 I
was one of those who, keenly feel
ing the recreancy of the Republi
can party, were much in doubt
whether the memorable Demo
cratic convention at Chicago in
adopting its splendid platform and
nominating Wiliam J. Bryau for
the presidency, was actuated by
an impulse or by a purpose. Ihe
magnificent achievements at Kan
sas Citv have settled all possible
doubt ou that subject. The plat
form adopted not ouly refacts the
principles of 1896, but in language
whose force, dignity and beauty
have never been equaled in simi
lar document, responds to the new
issues preseted iu the growth of the
1 trust monopoly and the imperial
istic policy of the administration
by an appropriate enunciation of
those sublime doctriues of human
rights and liberties whose profess
ion aud observance have been the
peculiar glory of our country and
are the sure basis of the ulti
mate hapiness of mankind. And,
again, the duty of carrying the
banner of the cause has been com
mitted to that tried and trusted
hand whose grasp has never weak
ened, which no fear can make
to falter and no burden can dis-
may. The leader ship of Bryan,
which could have redeemed a bad
platform, sauctifies a good one. It
made memorable an unsuccessful
contest. It wiU crown a victory
with imperishable splendor. M ith
every sentiment of respect and
gratitude, 1 remain, most sincere
ly yours,
“Charles A. Towne.

of W'ichita, Kan., to a Chicago In

up and could see nothing. I ran
into the house and got a spy glass,

corn stulk during the night, and it
had grown so fast they were una

was so high they were afraid to

along and bent the stulk near the
ground could they slide off with
out breaking any ribs. In the
meantime I had to climb those
stalks every day to do the milk

CHILD IN A TRANCE
SAYS SHE SAW HEAVEN.
A St. Huge Story Wlilrli Comes
From Milton!, Conn.
Bridgeport, Conn., Aug 5.
Little Sophie Fowler went into a
strange trance for five duys, and
on awakening from it declares
that she had been taken by angels
to the spirit land.
Sophie is the twelve-year-old
daughter of Mark Fowler of Mil
ford. She is a pretty, spiritual
looking child,but at all precocious.
Her brain is perfectly normal aud
sound. This statement is made
because so many trance patients
arc in some stage of insanity.
On Monday morning when the
Fowler family was around the
breakfast table Sophie’s chair
was empty. A younger child was
sent to her room to call her. The
little one came running to the
head of the stairs:
“Oh, mamma,” she called iu
tones of mingled awe and terror,
“come quick I Sophie’s all dead I"
The frightened family rushed to
Sophie’s room. They found her
lying in bed unconscious. The
body was not cold, but there was
nothing that her mother consid
ered a sign of life.
Dr. A. L. Tuttle was sent for. 1
He said that the girl was not dead, 1
but in a comatose condition,
All Monday the mother sat by I
her bed eagerly looking for some 1
movement. She feared the little 1
life might flicker out.
On Friday morning the condi
tion of the girl, it was seen, was
changing. She was breathing. An I
eyelid fluttered and dropped again.
Her nostrils dilated a bit and 1
' finally toward noon she opened
1 J ,
her eyes to look at the happy face
of her mother.
For five days she had eateu
nothing and had not drank even a
drop of water. Food was given
her and she soon recovered suf
ficiently to talk.
“I have been in heaven all the
timj,” she said, "and, oh ! mamma,
it’s such a pretty place; I hated
to leave it. They have music
there and gold stars and people fly
about. There isu’t any nasty rain
there and you don t have to walk
about, but Just, float in the air.
“There is no dirt in heaveu at
all. Everything is made of gold
and silver and diamonds. I played
all the time I was in Heaven.
There are a lot of little girls there.
I didn’t see any of the Bible peo
ple. I guess I’m so little they
didn’t want to be bothered wit!
me.
“I dou’t know how it is I’m
back here in Milford. I didn’t
know that people died and went
straight to Heaven and came back
again. I guess I died by mistake,
didn’t I, and then when God
found it out He thought He‘d
better se: d me back.
“This wasn’t one of those
dreams. When you stick your
face in the pillow you see stars
and gold and silver shiny things,
but this wasn’t that. It was really
Heaveu, because I wJked about
for a week.
“And mamma,” said Sophie, "I
guess I’ll be a better girl than 1
was before I went to Heaven. I
want to go there again aud I want
to make sure they’ll let me in . I
always thought Heaven wus a 1
place where you had a lot of cross ‘
teachers to make you mind, but it
isn’t. They just let you do what
ever you like just as long as you
are good.”
The little girl has recovered her
health completely. Dr. Tuttle
said that Bhe was iu a normal
condition. Her heart beat was
full and regular. She was slight
ly exhausted after her five days’
trauce, but that was all The
child is the marvel of Milford.—

Why He Is A Lunatic.
A contributor to the Fort Eng
land Mirror, a paper conducted by
lunßtics gives this explanation of
his detention in the institution
where his class is confined:
“I met a young widow with a
step-daughter, and the widow
married me. Then my father,
who was a widower, met my step
daughter and married her. That
mude my wife the mother-in-law
of her father-in-law, and made
my stepdaughter my mother and
mv father niv stepson. Then my
stepmother, the stepdaughter of
my wife, had a son. Thut boy
was, of course, my brother because
he was my father’s son. He was
also the son of my wife’s step
daughter, and therefore her grand
son. That made me grandfather
to my stepbrother. Then my
wife had a son. My mother-in-
law. the stepsister of my son, is
also his grandmother because he
is her stepsou’s child. My father
is the brother-in-law of my child,
because his stepsister is his wife.
I am the brother of my own son,
who is also the child of my step
grandmother. lam my mother s
brother-in-law, my wife is her own
child’s aunt, my son is my fath
er’s nephew, and 1 am my own
grandfather. And after trying to
explain the relationship in our
famity some seven times a day to
our calling friends for a fortnight,
I was brought here—no, came of
my own will.’’
A MOTHER TELLS HOW SHE
SAVED HER LITTLE
DAUGHTER’S LIFE.
I am the mother of eight child
ren and have had a great deal of
experience with medicines. Last
summer my little daughter had
the dysentery in its worst form.
We thought she would die. I tried
everything I could think of, but
nothing seemed to do her any good.
I saw by an advertisement in our
paper that Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was highly recommended and sent
and got a bottle at once. It proved
to be onp of the very best medi
cines we ever had in the house. It
saved my daughter’s life. I am anx
ious for every mother to know
what an excellent medicine it is
Hud I known is at first it would
have saved me a great deal of anx
iety and my little daughter much
suffering-—Yours truly, Mrs. F.

The New York Evening Lost
puts it iu a nutshell,thus: “ 1 reach
ery tinged with cowardice, one face
to the foreign ministers and the
civilized world, and another to the
j infuriated Boxers; apparently fi
nal duplicity as respects both;
fright atHhe determined attitude
of the foreign troops at Tien Tsin ;
divided counsels, vacillation, and
an ultimate determination to ap
peal to the mercy of the powers
while still trying to trick them —
that, we now see, has been the
tortuous course of the Chinese pol
icy, which explains everything.”
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
CURED
by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseaed portion
of tlfe ear. There is only one way
to cure deafuess, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal con
dition hearing will he destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh,which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
mucous sufaces

Hint! on Rural School Grounds.
PROF. BAII.RY, CORNELL UNIVERSITY.
One’s training for the work of
life is begun in the home and fos
tered in thescliool. This training
iH the result os a direct and con
scious effort on the part of the pa
rent and teacher, oombined with
ihe indirect result of the surround
ings in which the child is placed.
The surroundings are more potent
thau we think, aud they are usual
ly neglected, It is probable that
the antipathy to farm life is often
formed before the child is able to
reason on the subject
Children cannot be forced to
like the school. They like it only
when it is worth liking. And
when they like it they learn. The
fanciest school apparatus will not
atone for a charmless school
ground.
The following sentences are ex
tracted from the “Report of the
Committee of Twelve on Rural
Schools,” of the National Educa
tional Association (1897): •
“The rural schoolhouse, gener
ally speaking, in its character and
surroundings is depressing aud de
grading. There is nothing about
it calculated to cultivate a taste
for the beautiful in art or nature.”
“If children are daily mrround
ed by those influences that elevate
them, that make them clean and
well-ordered, that make them love
flowers and pictures and proper
decorations, they at last reach
that degree of culture where noth
ing else will please them. When
they grow up and have homes of
their own, they must have them
clean, neat, bright with pictures,
and fringed with shade-trees and
flowers, for they have been'brought
up to be have been brought up to
be happv in 110 other environ
ment.”
“The rural schoolhouse should
be built in accordance with the
laws of sanitation and modern
civilization,”
Next week we will give an im
portant chapter on “How to Begin
a Reform.”
