In tlie fuss and flurry made over thi eweet girl graduate the boy who grad tune is hardly get of Art*. ting the attention which he deserves. In the years to come, says the Chicago Tribune, if he docs his duty, he will earn money for the support of the girl, who dur ing the present month is the center of all eyes. He will be elected to the city council and possibly to congress; he will preach the Gospel and practice law; he will start a factory or open a business. In a large degree the fu ture welfare of the country will de pend upon his intelligent and honest ftctivit} - . The prejudice against the col lege graduate, which never had a sound foundation in fact, is gradually disap pearing. He has shown his force in ulmost every department of life, until It has come to be admitted that the so-called self-made man does not hold n monopoly of all the brains and energy m the country. So, while all will unite In drinking a toast to the maiden in her white frock and blue ribbons, a sim ilar if not an equal honor is due to the newly made bachelor of arts. The college man of to-daj* knows as well »s anyone can tell him that all his future success depends most largely upon his own unaided, efforts. The world is his apple and his education is simply the knife with which he must peel it. The act of selecting honorable and competent men to fill places of author ..... , itj- is cot the only Individual - J duty of the faitli- Rcform. f u l citizen. If it be certainly true that national life and welfare depend upon national charac ter, and that national character is only the combined character of its individ ual units, it follows that he who would be proud of his country's honor must keep his own unsoiled. Of what avail is it to rail at public injustice when we are ourselves unjust in our private dealings, or to accuse our rulers of cruelty and oppression when we op press our own weaker brethren, or to point out the evils of party spirit-when we wrap ourselves up in some small so cial clique, or to expose or to arraign scandal in our legislative halls when we are retailing sweet morsels of it at our own firesides? If we could see the success of public reforms, let us reform ourselves; if we loudly advocate the brotherhood of man, let us cultivate the spirit of brotherhood in our daily intercourse; If we value our national independence and freedom, let us see to it that we never interfere with the personal lib erty and rights of any individual.

BOTH NOTIFIED.} McKinley and Roosevelt are Told of Their Nomination. The F'resident Delivers an Ad dress on the Political Is sues of the Day. The Proceedings at (iov. Roosevelt's Home Were Less Forma! than Those at Canton, and the Assemblage was Not Nearly so Large. Canton, 0., July 12.—William Mc- Kinley was yesterday officially noti fied of his second nomination by the republican party for the highest of fice in the world, Grouped about him were the friends among- whom lie has lived for more than DO years, together with vast crowds from the surround ing- towns. Following is Senator Lodge's speech: Mr. President: This committee, repre •entinK every slate in the t'nlon and the organized territories of the I'nited States, was duly appointed to announce (o you, formally, your nomination by the repub lican national convention, which met in Philadelphia on June 19 last, as the can didate of the republican party for presi dent of the United States for the term be ginning March 4, 1901. To be selected by the republican party as their candidate for this great office Is always one of the highest honors which can be given to any man. This nomination, however, comes to your, sir, under circumstances whiel Rive it a higher significance and make It an even deeper expression of honor ami trust than usual. You were nominated unanimously at Philadelphia. You re ceived the unforced vote of every delegate from every state and every territory. The harmony of sentiment which ap pears on the face of the record was but the reflection of the deeper harmony which existed in the hearts and minds of the delegates. Without faction, with pro found satisfaction and eager enthusiasm, you were nominated for the presidency by the united voice of the representatives of our great party, in which there is no sign of dissension or shadow of turning. Such ananimity, always remarkable, is here the more impressive, because it oc companles a second nomination to the great office which you have held for four years. It Is not the facile triumph of hope over experience, but the sober ap proval of conduct and character tested in many trials, and tried by heavy and ex traordinary responsibilities. With the ex ception of the period in which Washing ton organized the nation ard built the states, and of those other awful years when Lincoln led his people through the agony of civil war and saved from de struction the work of Washington, there has never been a presidential term in our history so crowded with great events, so filled with new and momentous questions as that w ich is now drawing to an end. True to the declarations which were made at St. Louis in lf>96, you, "ir, united with the republicans in congress in the revision of the tariff and the re-establish ment of the protective poltry. You main tained our credit and upheld the gold standard, leading the party by your ad vice to the passage of Ihe great measure which is to-day the bulwark of both. You led again in the policy whleh has made Hawaii a possession of the I'nited States. On all these questions you ful filled the hopes of the people, who four years ago put trust in your promises. Put on all these questions, also, you had ns guides, not only your own principles and the well considered results of years of training and reflection, but also tin plain declarations of the national conven tion which nominated you in IS'96. Far different was it when the Cul an question, which we had promised to settle, brought first war and then peace with Spain. Con gress declared war. but you, as eommand rr-in-chlef, had to carry it on. You did so, and history records unbroken victory from the first shot of the Nashville to tlie day when the protocol was signed. Cuba. Porto Rico, the Philippines you had to assume alone the responsibility of tak ing them all from Spain. Alone and weighted with the terrible responsibility of the unchecked war powers of the con stitution, you were obliged to govern these Inlands and to repress rebellions and disorder in the Philippines. No party creed defined the course you were to fol low. Courage, foresight, comprehension cf American interests both now and in the urehart'el future, ir. the American people, and in their fitness for great tasks, were then your only guides and counselors. Thus you framed and putin operation this great new policy which has made U s at or.ee masters of the Antilles and a great eastern power, holding firmly our possessions on both sides of the Pacific. The new and strange ever excit'-s fear, ami t'ne courage and prescience which ac cepts them always arouse criticism and attack. Yet a great departure and a new policy were never more quickly justified than those undertaken by you. On the possession of the Philippines rest the ad mirable diplomacy which warned all na tions that American trade was not to be shut off from China. It Is to Manila that we owe the ability to send troops and ships in this time of distress to the de fense of our ministers, our missionaries, our consuls, and our merchants in China. Instead of being compelled to leave our citizens to the casual protection of other powers, as would have been unavoidable had wi flur.g the opportunities away and withdraw from the Orient. Kvents, moving with terrible rapidity, have been swift witnesses to the wisdom ef your action in the east. The Phila delphia convention had adopted your pol icy both in the Antilles and the Philip pines, and has m-ide it their own and that of the republican party. Your election, sir. next November as sures to us the continuance of that poli cy abroad and ;ri our new possessions. To fntrust these difficult and vital questions to others, a: once incompetent and hostile would be a still more unrelieved di-aster to us and to our posterity. Your election means not only protection to our indus tries, but the maintenance of a sound currency of the gold standard, the very corner-stone of our economin and financial welfare. Should the«e he shaken, as they would be by the success of our opponents, the whole fabric of our business confi dence and prosperity would fall into ruin. Your defeat would he the signal for the advance of free trade, for the anarchy cf a debased and unstable currency, for business panic, depression, and hard times, and for the wreck of our foreign policy. Your election and the triumph of the republican party, which we believe to lie as sure as the coming of tne day. will make certain the steady protection of our industries, sound money, and a vigor our and intelligent foreign policy. They will continue those friends of good gov ernment and wise legislation, so essential to the prosperity and well-being which have blessed our country in such abund ance during the past four years. Thus announcing to you. sir, your nomination as the republican candidate for the presidency, we have the honor also to submit to vou the declaration of principles made bv tne national conven tion. which we trust will receive your ap proval. We can assure you of the faith ful and earnest support of the republican party in every state, and we beg you to believe that we discharge here to-day, with feelings of the deepest personal grat ification, this honorable duty imposed up on us by the convention. The president seemed at liis best. His appearance indicated splendid health and his voice rang- out, in clar ion tones, reaching the vast throng' which surrounded his house and ex tended over tlie lawn and across the street. Sptuking l'rom the same place CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1900. where be received the formal notifica tion four years ago, and in the pres ence of men in hearty accord with his policy, he could not but create a fa vorable impression and receive, as he did, the most hearty applause of his listeners. He said: Senator Ivodge and Gentlemen of the Notification Committee: The message which you bring is one of signal honor. It is also a summons to duly. A single nomination for the office of president by a great party which in 32 years out of to has been triumphant at national elections, is a distinction which i gratefully cherish. To receive unani mous renomination by the same party is an expression of regard and a pledge of continued confidence for which it is dif ficult to make adequate acknowledgment. If anything exceeds the honor of the office of president of the United States, it Is the responsibility which attaches to it. Having been invested with both, 1 do not underappraise either. Any one who has borne the anxieties and burdens oi the presidential office, especially in time of national trial, cannot contemplate as suming it a second time without pro foundly realizing the severe exactions and the solemn obligations which it imposed, and this feeling is accentuated by the momentous problems which now press for settlement. If my countrymen shall con firm the action of the convention at our national election in November I shall, craving divine guidance, undertake the exalted trust, to administer it for the in terest and honor of the country and the well being of the new peoples who have become the objects of our cart-. The declaration of principles adopted by the convention has my hearty approval. At some future date I will consider its sub jects ir, detail and will by letter commun icate to your chairman a more formal acceptance of the nomination. OP. a like occasion four years ago I said: "The party that supplied by legis lation the vast revenues for the conduct of our greatest war; that promptly re stored the credit of the country at its close; that from its abundant revenues pair! off a large share of the debt incur red by this war, and that resumed specie payments and placed our paper currency upon a sound and enduring basis can be safely trusted to preserve both our credit and currency with honor, stability and inviolability. The American people hold the financial honor of our government as sacred as our flag, and can be relied upon to guard it with the same sleepless vigi lance. They hold its preservation above party fealty, and have often demonstrated that party ties avail nothing when the spotless credit of our country is threat ened. "The dollar paid to the farmer, the wage earner and the pensioner must continue forever equal In purchasing and debt pay ing power to the dollar paid to any gov ernment creditor. "Our industrial supremacy, our produc tive capacity, our business and commer cial prosperity, our labor and its rewards, our national credit and currency, our proud financial honor, and our splendid free citizenship, the birthright of every American, are all involved in the pending campaign, and thus every home In the land is directly and intimately connected with their proper settlement. "Our domestic trade must be won back ard our Idle working people employed in gainful occupations at American wages. Our home market must be restored to its proud rank of lirst in the world and our foreign trade, so preclptately cut cff by adverse national legislation reopened on fair and equitable terms for our surplus agricultural and manufacturing products. "Publir> confidence must be resumed and the skill, energy and the capital of our country find ample employment at home. The government of the i'nited States must raise money enough to meet both its current expenses and increasing needs, its revenues should be so raised as to protect the material interests of our peo ple, with the lightest possible drain upon their resources and maintaining that high standard of civilization which has distin guished our country for more than a cen tury of its existence. "The national credit, which has thus far fortunately resisted every assault up on it must and will be upheld and strengthened. If sufficient revenues are provided for the support of the govern ment there will be no necessity for bor rowing money and increasing the public debt." Three and one-half years of legislation and administration have been concluded since these words were spoken. Have those to whom was confided the direction of the government kept their pledges? The record is made up. The people are not unfamiliar with v. hat lias been ac complished. The gold standard has been reaffirmed and strengthened. The endless chain has been broken and the drain upon our gold reserve no longer frets us. Tru credit of the country has been advanced to the highest place among ail nations. We arr refunding our bonded debt bearing 3 and 4 and f> per cent, interest at 2 per cer.t, a lower rate than of that any other country, and already more than $300,000,- 000 have been so funded, with a gain to the government of many millions of dol lars. Instead of lfi to 1, for which our opponents contended four years ago, leg islation has been enacted which, while utilizing all forms of our money, secures one fixed value for every dollar anel that the best known to the civilized world. A tariff which protects American labor and industry and provides ample revenues has been written in public laws. We have lower interest and higher wages; more money and fewer mortgages. The world's markets have been opened to American products, which go now where they have never gone before. We have passed from a bond-issuing to a bond-pay ing nation; from a nation of borrowers to a nation of lenders: from a deficiency in revenue to a surplus; from fear to con fidence; from enforced idleness to profit able employment. The public faith has been upheld; public order has been main tained. We have prosperity at home and prestige abroad. Unfortunately the threat of 1896 has just been renewed by the allied parties with out abatement or modification. The gold hill has been denounced and its repeal demanded. The menace of 10 to 1, there fore, still hangs over us with all its dire consequence to credit and eonudence, to business and industry. The enemies of sound finances are rallying their scattered forces. The people must once more unite and overcome the advocates of repudiation and must not relax their energy until the battle for public honor and honest money shall again triumph. A congress which will sustain and, If need he, strengthen the present law can prevent a financial catastrophe which every lover of the republic is interested to avert. Not satisfied with assaulting the cur rency ar.d credit of the government, our political adversaries condemn the tariff law enacted at the extra session of con gress in IMI7, known as the IJingiey act, passed in obedience to the wi 11 of the peo ple expressed at the election in the pre ceding November, a law which at once stimulated our industries, opened the idle factories and mines and gave to the la -1 borer and to the farmer fair returns for I their toil and investment. Shall we go ] back to a tariff which brings deficiency In I our revenues anel destruction to our ln | dustrlal enterprises? I Faithful to its pledges in these internal I affairs how has the government discharg ed its international duties? Our platform of 18:, declared "the Hawaiian islands should be controlled by ; the United States and no foreign power Jbe permitted to interfere with them." ! This purpose has been fully accomplished i by annexation, and delegates from those | beautiful Islands participated in the con- J ventlon for which you speak to-day. In 1 the great conference of nations at The | Hague we reaffirmed before the world j the Monroe doctrine and our adherence j to it anel our determination not to par ! tlcipate in the complications of Kurope. We have happily ended the Kuropean al liance in Samoa, retaining for ourselves I ore of the most valuable harbors in the i Pacifiic Ocean, while the open door in China gives to us fair and equal compe- I titlcn in the vast trade of the Orient. | Some things have happened which were [ not promised, nor even fores en, and our purposes in relation to them must not be ! left In doubt. A just war has been waged I for humanity and with it have come new 1 problems and responsibilities. Spain has | been ejected from the Western Hemis phere and our flag floats over her former Iterritoiy. Cuba has been liberated and our guarantees to her people wtfl T>e «ar redly executed. A beneficent goverrrr. -nt has provided for Porto Rico. The Ph lip pines are ours ard American authorlt> must be supreme through out the archi pelago. There will be annesty breiael and liberal, but no abatement of our rights, no abandonment of our duty. There n u?t lie no scuttle policy. We will fulfill in the Philippines the obligations imposed by the triumphs of our arms and by the triaty of peace; by international law, by the natiejn's sense of honor, and, more tnan all, by the rights, interests and conditions of the Philippine people themselves. No outside interference blocks the way to peace and a stable government. The ob structionists are here, liftt elsewhere. They may postpone, but they canned de feat the realization of the high purpose of this nation to restore order to (he islands and to establish a just anel gener ous government, in which the Inhabitants shall have the largest participation for which they are capable. The organised forces which have been misled into reliel lion have been dispersed by our faithful soldiers and sailors anel the people of ;he islands, delivered from anarchy, pillage and oppression, recognize American sov ereignity as the symbol and pledge of peace, justice, law. religious freedom and education, the security of life and proper ty and the welfare and prosperity of th ir several communities. We reassert the early principle e>f the republican party, sustained by unbroken judicial precedents, that the representa tives of the people in congress assembled have full legislative power over territory belonging to the United States, subject o the fundamental safeguards of liberty, justice and personal rights, and art vested with ample authority to act "for the highest Interests of our nation and the people entrusted to Its care." This doc trine, first proclaimed in the cause of freedom, will never be used as a weapon for oppression. I am glad to be assured by you that what we have done in the far east has the approval of the country. The sud den and terrible crisis in China calls for the gravest consideration ard J'C'J will not expect from me now any further ex pression than to say that my best efforts shall be given to the immediate purpose of protecting the lives of our citizens who are in peril, with the ultimate object of the peace anil welfare of China, the safe guarding of all our treaty rights and the maintenance of those principles of im partial intercourse to which the civilized world is pledged. I cannot conciuele without congratulat ing my countrymen upon the strong na tional sentiment which finds exprt-sssion in every part of our common country an l the Increased respect with which the American name is greeted throughout the world. We have been moving in untried paths, but our steps have been guided by honor and duty. There will be no turning aside, no wavering, no retreat. No blow has been struck except for liberty ar.d hu manity and none will be. We will per form without fear every national and in ternal obligation. The republican party was dedicated to freedom 44 years aso. It has been the party of liberty and eman cipation from that hour; not of profession, but of performance. It broke the shackles of 4,000,000 slaves and made them free, and to the party of Lincoln has come another supreme opportunity which it has bravely met in the liberation of 10,000,000 of the human family from the yoke of imperial ism. In its solution of great problems, in its performance of high duties, it has had the support of members of all part, s in the past and confidently invokes their co-operation in the future.. Permit me to express, Mr. f'hairman, my most sincere appreciation of the com plimentary terms in which you convey the official notice of my nomination and my thanks to the committee and the great constituency which they represent for this additional evidence of their favor and support. While the speech of the president closed the formal notification, there had not been oratory enough for the gathering, and other speakers were called for. Senator Fairbanks, of In diana; Senator llanna; ( harles Em ory Smith, postmaster general; Col. Samuel Parker, of Hawaii, and Sen ator Lodge were heard—the last named speaking twice. These speak ers, with the exception of Col. Par ker, who was called out of compli ment lo ttie Pacific islands, took oc casion le> refer lo the recent action or the democratic national conven tion in Kansas City. 11 was the first public occasion in which republic an speakers had attempted to criti cize the platform recently adopted by their opponents. Senator Fairbanks evident ly intend ed to make Ihe money question the dominant issue of the campaign, de nying that with Hi to 1 in their plat form the democrats could make "im perialism" the lending issue. Senator llanna told republican voters to re member the importance of the cam paign. Postmaster General Smith warned his hearers that democratic success would disarrange the busi ness of the country. Oyster May, L. I„ July 111.—On the breeze-swept veranda of Sagamore, his country home. (iov. Roosevelt was yesterday officially notified of his nomination for vice president em the republican national ticket. The cere mony was so simple as to be almost informal. Surrounded by the mem bers of the committee on notification, a little party of invited guests, Mrs. Itoosevelt and the rest of the gover nor's family. Gov. Roosevelt listened to Ihe address of notification by Sen ator Woleott, e)f Colorado, chairman of the committee. There was no attempt at ceremony. The party simply ranged themselves about the wide verandas and Senator Woleott delivered a short address. To this the governor responded briefly as follows: Mr. Chairman: T accept the honor con ferred upon me with the keenest and deepest appreciation of what it means, and, above all. of the responsibility that goes with it Kverything that i 1 is in m> power to will be done TO secure the re election of President McKin.ley, to whom it lias been given in the crisis cf the na tional history to stand for and embody thr principles which lie closest to the heart cf every American worthy of the name. This is very much more than a mere party contest. We stand at the parting of the ways, anel the people have now tr decide whether they shall go forward along the path of prosperity and high honor abroad, or whether they will turn their backs upon what has bec-n done dur ing the past three years; whether they will plunge this country into an abyss of misery and disaster, or, what is worse than even misery and disaster, shame. 1 feel that we have a right to appeal not merely to republicans, but to a'.l citizens no matter what may have been theit party affiliations in the past, and to ask them on the strength of the record that President McKlnley has made during the past three year? and on the strength ol the threat implied in what was done in Kansas City a few days ago, to stant; shoulder to shoulder with us. pcrpetuat. ing the conditions under which we hav« reached a degree of prosperity never be fore attained in the nation's history, anf tinder which abroad we have put the American flag on a level where It nevei before in the history of the country was placed. For these reasons I feel we havt j a right to look forward with ecu;tiden I expectation to what the verdict of th< I people will be ntxt November, ar.d to as! i ail tnt n to whom the well being of tht country ard the honor of the natior.a name are dear to stand with us as w< fight for prosperity at home and tin honor of the flag abroad. Luncheon was then served niul ai; hour spent in general conversation The party then returned to Oystei Hay, where a. train was waiting tc carry them back to Xew York. SMITH TALKS POLITICS. Tb« Poalniaatcr (■i iii'rul lllx uato Ika Outlook Jrom u l{f|>ul>li<-uii I'oiui of V irn, Canton, ()., July 12. —"You can say that we of the east are pleased with both conventions," said Postmaster General Smith yesterday when asked to say' something' on it. "What kind of a campaign do you anticipate?" was asked. "1 look for an active and earnest campaign all along- the line, with much speaking. The general speak ing, 1 do not think, will commence much before September l,but between now and then there will be occasion al addresses by Mr. iloosevelt and possibly some others." "Along what lines do you expect the campaign to be fought?" "112 think the contest will settle down to virtually two issues. One of these, probably the chief one, will be the currency question. The demo cratic convention has made it so. They refused to accept the verdict of four years ago. They have proclaim - ed their stand for silver and the bat tle of four years ago on that question will have to be fought over. There is no such issue as imp •rialisin. That is a fiction. There can be no imperial ism in a free country. But the ques tion of upholding and strengthening the government in dealing with the issues growing out of the war and in administering the new people brought under our protection is an important issue and will figure conspicuously in the campaign." "To what extent, will the trust question enter into the campaign?" "Not lo a great extent. In my opinion that is a business question rather than a political issue and the republican party has declared in fa vor of such legislation as will correct nny e\ils that may exist and control harmful combinations as clearly and aft forcibly as any party can." "Do you think the Chinese question will enter the campaign?" "No, I do not.. It cannot become an issue. The government is doing noth ing more than any government must tlo to protect, the people. We. have emphatically disclaimed intention to tlo anything else. The note of the State department bearing on this sub ject has been well reVeivd by the peo ple and by the representatives of the powers." The campaign of 1000 in Canton will not be a duplicate of the cam paign of 1896. It is not the present intention of President Mclvinley to make speeches to delegations who jnay visit Canton during the summer and fall, even if he should remain here all the time. The president will be so much occupied with public busi ness that he will have little lime to devote to the campaign.' Four years ago he was a private citizen and as the candidate felt justified in taking the active part he did in the cam paign. Now he is president of the whole people and feels that he should give his attention to the many ques tions of government that are pending. It is the present intention of the president to confine his participation in the campaign to his speech to-day and his letter of acceptance. Vari ous clubs and deputations have tele graphed here asking when they can be received by the president. The re plies sent in response to these mes sages said that the length of the president's stay in Canton is indefi nite and that he can make no ap pointments for the reception of such delegations. Those who call to pay their respects will be received at times when the president is not en gaged. as they would be were he in Washington. But the president will not make speeches from the front porch to visiting 1 delegations. SIX ALREADY SECURED. The W orlt of (idting a Jury In tlio Power* Trial Keglnw. Georgetown, Ky., July 1 —Judge Cantrill yesterday overruled the mo tion for a continuance in the ease of ex-Secretary of State Caleb Powers, and the work of selecting il j u *\\* was begun. The regular venire of jury men was called and out of that, num ber only six were accepted. These are subject to peremptory challenge by either side later on, so there is no certainty that any of them will finally sit as jurors in the case. Judge Cantrill ordered Sheriff SliiCT to summon an ex-tra venire of 100 cit izens who are to be tested for jury service. Before the jury matter was taken tip Powers' attorneys filed the pardon issued to him by ex-Gov. Tay lor and offered it as a plea in bar. The court overruled the plea, saying: "The highest courts in this state and in the I'nited States have decided that Taylor was not governor fin March 10, when this pardon was issued. It is therefore void." To be Sold I'nelnr Foreclosure. New York.

She found numerous umbrellas left by former boardei s the Boston Transcript, and tying the. igc-ther, she took the bundle to Boston o have them repaired. She stopped in at Hovey's and laid the bundle on the floor at her feet at the counter. When she had tnade her purchase, she for got her umbrellas, and absent-mindedly picked up an umbrella lying on the coun ter, thinking it was hers, or not thinking at all, and started off. Then the owner of the umbrella, a wom sn standing next her, seized her and sa:il very sharply: "You have taken niy um brella!" Of course she apologized, feeling much rut up about it, and went on forget ting in her fluster her own bundle of um brellas. The next day.on her way to Cam bridge, she went to Hovey's and readily recovered her lost package of umbrellas, which had been kept for her. On the car for Cambridge she noticed a lady eyeing her very closely. Presently this lady leaned forward and said to her, with elegant em phasis: "You seem to have been more fortunate to-day!" It was the lady whose umbrella she had taken the day before. CHOATE AND THE BABY. The American A mljuß*uclor*A Nail Head Wit in an Addrcaa in Engln nd. Lately, at the opening of a free library at Acton, England, Hon. Joseph H. Choate, the American ambassador to Great Britain, delivered an address, and caused much laughter by his impromptu references to a. baby who persisted in distracting the at tention of the audience by making its voice heard at the most inconvenient moments, says the San Francisco Argonaut. The first interruption occurred early in the speech. Mr. Choate was saying: "There is a spe cial provision for children in your library, and I think when men come to make a choice of a residence in Acton they will not forget that fact." Here the baby screamed in such a manner as to drown the words of the speaker. There was some dis turbance, but Mr. Choate said: "Don't be disturbed by the baby.
