Auditor General—William T. Creasy, the Prohibition nominee. Secretary of Internal Affairs—Jobn J. Green, of Philadelphia. The platform deals cotirely with State issues, except one plank, which commends William J. Bryan. The convention did nos go on record in favor of Bryan's nomi- nation for President. The convention was called to order by State Chairman Charles P. Donnelly promptly at noon. Michael J. Ryan, of Philadelphia, who was chosen as temporary chairman by the execative committee, took the chair. Ryan madean address denouncing po- litical and corporation conditions in Penn. sylvania as being largely due to the Re- publican party. After the standing committees were se- lected the convention at 1 o'clock took a recess for one hour to allow the committees to prepare their reports. The convention reassembled at 2.55 o'clock when there was quite a protracted argnment over por- tions of the platform which, however, was adopted as framed. The convention then proceeded to the nomination of candidates for Governor. The counties were called in alpbabetical order and Adams yielded to Elk, which bad selected Major Harry Alvan Hall, to nominate Emery. Ewery’s numination was seconded hy B. F. Meyers, of Daaphin county, who said that by reason of fusion that county re- versed its unprecedented majority of 10. 000 for Roosevelt in 1904 to a majority of 1,100 for Berry last November and be, therefore, urged the Democrats to accept the proffered fasion this year. Frank J. Fitzsimmons, of Lackawanna connty, nom- inated Arthor G. Dewalt. He said that four years ago av infamous election eystem epabled the Republiran party to poll 100,- 000 illegal votes for its candidate for Gov- ernor. ‘“‘If the respectable element in the Republican party want reform why don’t they come over to the Democratic party ? Should we name as a candidate for Govern- or a man who voted against Bryan in 1896? Against Parker in 1904 and against Patti- son in 1902° Democrats, don’t surrender.” ‘‘Nominate a Democrat in the person of Arthur G. Dewalt,” concluded the speaker. Thomas J. Ryan, of Philadelphia, made a brief speech for Dewalt, in which he said that Emery did not support Pattison in 1902 and that the Philadelphia Democrats received very little recognition from the Lincoln parsy in the selection of a fusion ticket last fall George B. Jeflries, of Fayette county, seconded the nomioation of Dewalt, and the nominations closed. The clerk began the roll cail on the Gov- ernorship. When it became apparent that Emery was nominated, after Schuylkill cast 18 votes for Emery, Fayette changed five votes from Dewalt to Emery, followed BY Allegheny changing 18 from Dewalt to ery and there wae a lacdslide to Emery. Westmoreland cast two votes for D. T. Watson, of Pittshurg. The vote for Governor as announced hy the clerk was as follows: Emery, 261; Dewalt, 60 ; Watson, 2. Chairman Leoaban formally declared ‘Emerv the nominee of the convention for ‘Governor. At 5.05 o'clock the convention adjourned uuti! 70'clock wheao it reassembled and im- mediately proceeded to the nomination of candidates for Lieutenant Governor. Sam- nel RB. Griffith, of Allegheny, nominated James A. Stranaban, of Dauphin. State Treasurer William H. Berry, of Delaware, named Homer L. Castle, of Allegheny, the nominee of the Prohibition panty. Jere 8. Black, of York, was nominated hy ex-Con- gressman James Kerr, of Clearfield. Mr. Black's nomination was seconded by J. 8, Hess, of Northampton, and Harry D. Green, of Berks. The nominations closed and theconvention proceeded to hallot b counties. It was apparent after a ball dozen counties bad voted that Mr. Black would be nominated. The names of his competitors were withdrawn by their spon- sors and he was nominated by acclamation. John G. Harman, of Columbia, presented the name of William T. Creasy, of Colam- hia. for Auditor General,aud he was nomi- nated by acclamation. William J. Brennen, of Allegheny, nom- inated E. A. Coray, of Luzerne, for Secre- tarv of Internal Affairs. Thomas J. Ryan, of Philadelphia, named John J. Green, of Philadelphia. The nominations closed and the convention w— proceeded to ballot. Belore bail the coun- ties bad cast their votes Allegheny changed from Coray to Green. This assured Green's nomination and on motion of several dele- gates be was nominated by acclamation. The Lincoln v state convention will reconvene at Philadelphia ou July 10 to accept the declination of Rudolpl: Blanken- burg, of Philadelphia, as its candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and George W. Mer- rick, of Tioga, candidate for Auditor Gen- eral. The convention ’s expected to fill their places with the Democratic nominees. The call for this convention was issued im- mediately after Emery was nominated by the Democrats. for A new aod important order has been is- sued from the Postoffice Department at Washington which is as follows : That hereafter mail carriers will not as- cend bigher than the second floor of an of- fice building in which there is no elevator, and not bigher than the ground floor of all other buildings when delivering mail. This last cianse applies to appartment houses and flatsas well as dwellings and other haildings in which there are no basi- ness offices on the second floor. . This new ruling is conducive to the ter efficiency of the letter carrier force. eretofore some of the men have been com- Bld to climb stair alter stair in the per- ormance of their doties. Frequently it has happened that there was but one letter for the top floor of a three-story building and when the mail man, panting under the strain of climbing three flights of stairs with a heavy pouch of mail on his back, reached the room designated on the envel- ope the oconpant was out and the carrier's climb had been for nothing, much time bad been wasted and the trip would bave to be made over again on his next delivery. A few such trips will almost exhaust a car- rier and the remainder of the route suffers proportionately. In business buildings having elevators the carriers will do as heretofore, take the elevator to the top floor and work down. Thie imposes no bardship on the carriers and bat little time is lost, Where a build- ing has no elevator, occupants of the floors higher than the second must either place mail boxes on the lower halls or arrange with some responsible person to look after and receive their mail. Carriers in this and other towns for some time have complained of Weelivg vicious dogs on their rounds, and it will now be necessary for residents who allow such dogs to run loose ahout the premises to call at the postoffice for their mail. The fol- lowing postal regulation bas been placed in force : ‘‘Carriers are not required to deliver mail at residences where vicious dogs are permitted to run at large. Per- sons keeping such dogs must call at the postoffice for their mail.” New Rules Matl Carriers.

S——— ee ———— A REMINISCENCE.—In writing of the unsettled condition of affairs in general prior to the outbreak of the Civil war Ed. ward L. Ruse, of Washington, D. C., ina letter to the Altoona Tribune, tells this reminiscence : In 1856 I belonged to a Republican clab in Bellefonte, There were about a dozen of us and we met in Judge Hale's law office. Of course I voted for Fremont A and free Kansas, and still ‘‘voteas I shot’ in later years. Bellefonte was a small, compact borough then. One evening there was an auction in a hotel. The auctioneer held up a book aod sang out, ‘‘Abh ! here is the ‘Life of James Buchanan,’ what's bid for it—how much ?”’ I immediately sang out ten cents and then had to “*skin out’’ to avoid a row, for the audience was Democratic by a large majority, and their candidate was known as ‘‘ten cent Jimmy." ——The entertainment given by the scholars of the Parochial school, in the ope:a house last Thursday evening, wae oue of the best ever given by this school. A baseball song and a dance song by the very smallest of the scholars were [eatures of the evening. Anotber commendable part was a “school strike’’ play in which the varions students who took part went on a strike against studying some particn- lar study, for shorter hours and longer re- cesses, etc., until Father McArdle remark- ed that ‘‘if they kept it up much longer there would he no study hours or studies left.” A large andience citended the en- tertainment. > —— On Tuesday morning Philip Beezer bought the Wagner property on Spring street, adjoining his own home, for three thousand dollars. If he keeps the property it is his intention to repair the house and build a large stable on the rear end of the lot. The trustees of the Bellefonte Acad. emy, however, have bad under considera- tion for some tim2 the purchase of both the Wagoer and Beezer properties for the pur- pose of enlarging the Academy campus and tarning the dwellings into dormitories, and if a satisfactory deal can be made it is possible the Academy will eventually se- care the properties. —— AA en — ~NEW P. 0.8. oF A.

A Democracy Where All, Regardless of Income, Are Equal-Membership In a First Rate Club Regarded as a Profitable Investment, A good many country visitors are disappointed when they learn the sober truth that New York has no clubs com- posed exclusively of millionaires. It is harder still to make country folk believe that hundreds of men join the so called swell clubs in large part from motives of economy. There are scarcely thiree clubs in the city that do not include a considerable number of poor men in their member- ship. The average income of the whole membership of the ten best known clubs in the city is probably nearer $10,000 a year than $50,000 a year, and | almost every ome of these clubs In- cludes some scores of men with incomes ! well below $10,000 and a good many with incomes well below $35,000. There is a real democracy of New York club life, Youths in their early twenties aud just beginning their ca- reers on very moderate salaries fre- quent truly palatial clubhouses, break- ! fast In rooms such as few princes ever use and lounge before fireplaces that are to be matched only in the most splendid bulldings of Europe. The poor man’s credit at the club is as good as the rich man’s, and both are impartially posted when they neglect to pay their bills In good season. There are a good many instances which the monthly bills of man are higher than those of fellow member, for the clubs are apt to be the than the richer members. Jedroom and finding all his luxuries in he apartments of the clubhouse. Without being in the least mean he nakes of the club a money saving in- stitution for himself. Its comfortable ounging rooms save him annually rom $300 to $1,000 a year in rent, ac- sording to the location in which he has iis modest lodgings. After that he saves a fair percentage on everything 1e eats and drinks at the club. His simple breakfast costs him per- 1aps 10 per cent less than it would cost it any restaurant he would be likely ‘0 frequent, and the same is true of his linners. If he takes three-fourths of 1is meals at the club he saves annually thout $100 in tips. If he drinks wine at dinner he saves ‘rom 10 to 25 per cent upon every bot- Je. If he permits himself the luxury of a cab he saves a handsome per- centage by ordering it through the club ind avoids all possibility of a row vith the cabby over the amount of the fare. Many a man writes all his let- fers of a social character and some of ¢ business character at the club, and thus saves from $15 to $40 a year in stationery. He need buy no books, nor need he sabscribe to a library, for there is the club library free for his use. He never need buy a periodical or even a news- piper save when he travels, for all that he reads are freely supplied by the club. And the enjoyment of all these things imposes upon him no con- siderable expenditure for extravagant luxuries. He Is sure, especially in the college clubs, to find plenty of men with like modest incomes and simple tastes as himself, and he may sit for hours with cronies over the cafe table without spending money that he can- not afford and without giving offense to the servants of the house committee. Most club members probably do not keep a debit and credit account with tae club, but the man of modest means and moderate habits would find the ex- amination of such an account a matter Fi} 1 g i : A £2 i of } : ; : : i 8 8 E i : 3 g 4 : iy hy i, gf : i 2g3 = : the mouth Ar nostrils, The Height of Fame.
