Blind masseuses have been so suc cessful in London sanitariums that the "arf of massage" is to be taught in New York schools for the blind. Their highly developed sense of touch gives tliern an aptitude for learning the work that leaves thos'3 blessed with sight far in the back ground. The blind folk are careful almost, to a fault, and when a mistake is called to their attention it never is repeated. Reports from the Discovery, which lias been exploring the Antarctic re gions, give interesting particulars as to the appetites which come to half frozen men on long sledge expedi tions. Hunger proved a dreadful nightmare, some of the men having horrible visions of tempting dishes. It is questionable if anything could compare in the way of hardships suf fered to this form of modified starva tion on such trips. In Ceylon there is a tree called "Kve's apple tree," which is remark able in that the orange fruit is beauti ful to look upon, yet out of each fruit a piece appears to have been bitten. It is said that the simulation of n fruit which has been bitten into is perfect. For litis reason and because the fruit is :t deadly poison, the natives declare that it is the same tree which grew in the Garden of Eden, ami it is a perpetual reminder of a disobedient act In the minds of the majority of Americans Russia is associated with tyranny of all sorts, yet there are said to be more points in common between the Russian and the English-speaking girls than the girls of any other na tion. The Russian girl asserts her self, and no one in Russia thinks the less of a girl for her wish to learn or to lead an independent life. In all subjects she is an idealist, in thia point being different from her En a lish-speaking sisters. In order to preserve the features oi those who have died it is proposed by a Russian to embalm corpses by cast ing around ihem a solid mass of glass. This would be perfectly transparent, and as no air could get in the feat ures would be preserved indefinitely. Of course, it is not possible to pour molten glass directly on the body, so it is first coated with a thing coating ol' silicate. This is allowed to harden aud forms a protective coating. The body is then putin a mold and melted glass poured around it. A species of acacia, which grows very abundantly in N'ubia and the Soudan, is called the "whistling tree" by the natives. Its shoots are fre quently distorted in shape by the agency of larvae of insects and swol len into a globular bladder from one to two inches in diameter. After the insect has emerged from a circular hole in the side of this swelling, the opening, played upon by the wind, be comes a musical instrument sugges tive of a sweet-toned flute. Tha whistling tree is also found in the West Indies. The culture and manufacture of bas ket willow have not attained in tha United States the degree of perfection and profit thai mark the industry in Europe. This is for several reasons, the most important being the relative compensation of labor and the failure of the American grower to adopt th.s most improved methods. The grow ing, harvesting, care and manufacture of willow require manual labor wholly unassisted by machinery. The cheap labor of Europe has grown willow and woven it into baskets at a profit impossible with us.

Y.. July 27. 1904 In Response to the. Committee Appointed to Notify Him of His Nomination for the Presidency. Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Noti fication Committee: lam deeply senslb'.e of the high honor conferred upon me by the representatives of the republican party assembled in convention, and 1 accept the nomination for the presidency with sol emn realization of the obligations I as sume. I heartily approve the declaration of principles which the republican national convention has adopted, and at some fu ture day I shall communicate to you. Mr. Chairman, more at length amf in detail a formal written acceptance of the nom ination. Three, years ago I became president be cause of the death of my lamented prede cessor. 1 then stated that it was my pur pose to carry out his principles and poli cies for the honor and the interest of the country. To the best of my ability 1 have kept the promise thus made. If next November my countrymen confirm at the polls the action of th> convention you represent, I shall, under Providence, continue to work with an eye single to the welfare of our people. A party is of worth only in so far as it promotes the national interest, ard every official, high or low, tan serve his party best by rendering to the people tie best service of which he is capable. Kffcctive government comes on'j its the result of the loyal cooperation of many different persons. The members of a legislative majority, the officers in the various de partments of the administration, and the legislative and executive branches as to wards each other, must work together with subordination of self to the common end of successful government. We who have been entrusted with power us pub lic servants during the past seven years of administration aiid legislation now come before the people content to be judged by our record of achievement. In the years that have gone by we have made the deed square with the word: and if we are continued in power we shall unswerv - ingly follow out the great lines of public policy which the republican party has al ready laid down: a public policy to which we are giving, and shall give, a unlteti, and, therefore, an efficient support. In all this we are more fortunate than our opponents, who now appeal for con fidence on the ground, which some express and some seek to have confidentially un derstood, that if triumphant they may be trusted to prove false to every principle which in the last eight years they have laid down as vital, and to leave undisturbed those very acts of the administration he cause of which they ask that the adminis tration itself be driven from power. Seem ingly their present attitude as to their past record is that some of them were mis taken and others Insincere. We make our appeal in a wholly different spirit. We are not constrained to keep silent on any vital question: we are divided on no vital question; our policy is continuous, and is the same for all sections and localities. There is nothing experimental about the government we ask the people to continue In power, for our performance in the past, our proved governmental efficiency. Is a guarantee as to our promises for the future. Our opponents, either openly or secretly, according to their several tem peraments, now ask the people to trust their present promises in consideration of the fact thnt they intend to treat their past promises as null and void. We know our own minds and we have kept of the same mind for a sufficient length of time to give to our policy coherence and sanity. In such a fundamental matter as the en forcement of the law we do not have to depend upon promises, but merely to ask that our record be taken as an earnest of what we shall continue to do. In dealing with the great organizations known as trusts, we do not have to explain why the laws were not enforced, but to point out that they actually have been enforced and that legislation had been enacted to in crease the effectiveness of their enforce ment We do not have to propose to "turn the rascals out," for we have shown in every deed that whenever by diligent investigation a public official can be found who has betrayed his trust he will be pun ished to the full extcr.t of the law with out regard to whether he was appointed under a republican or n democratic ad ministration. This is the efficient way to turn the rascals out ard to keep them out, and it has the merit cf sincerity. More over, the betrayals of trust in the last seven years have been insignificant In number when compared with the extent of the public service. Never has the admin istration of the government been on a cleaner and higher level; never has the public work of the nation been done more honestly and 1 efficiently. Assuredly it is unwise to change the policies which have worked so well and yvhich ate now Working so well. Prosperity has come at home. The national honor and interest have been upheld abroad. We have placed the finances of the nation upon a sound gold basis. We have done this with the aid of many who were formerly our opponents, but who would neitheropen !> support norsllently acquiesce in the here sy of unsound finance; and we have done it against the convinced and violent opposi tion of the mass of our present opponents who still refuse to recant the unsound opinions which for the moment they think it inexpedient to assert. We know what we mean when we speak of an honest and stable currency. We mean the same thing from year to jear. We do not have to avoid a definite and conclusive committal on the most Important issue which has recently been before the people, and which may at any time in the near future be before them again. I'pon the. principles which underlie this issue the convictions of half of our number do not eiash with those of the other half. So long as the republican party is in power the gold standard is settled, not as a matter of temporary political expediency, not because of shifting conditions in the production of gold in certain mining cen ters, but in accordance with what we regard as the fundamental principles of national morality and wisdom. t'nder the financial legislation which we have enacted there Is now ample circula tion for every business need; and every dollar of this circulation is worth a dollar in gold. We have reduced the interest bearing debt and in stiil larger measure the interest on that debt. All cf the war taxes imposed during the Spanish war have been removed with a view to relieve the Wife's Dream Came True. Warned by his wife to be carefui while at work, because of a premoni tion that he would be injured, Charles Shott, of Sharon, Pa., a few hours after met with an accident that may prove fatal.

He was working on an eleva tion when lie lust his balance and fell 40 -eeL CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1904 people and to prevent the accumulation of an unnecessary surplus. The result is that hardly ever before have the expendi tures and' income of the government so closely corresponded. In the fiscal year that has just closed the excess of income over the ordinary expenditures was $9,000,- 000. This does not take account of the sf>o,( Xi.ooo expended out of the accumulated surplus for the purchase of the isthmian canal. it Is an extraordinary proof of the sound financial condition of the na tion that instead of following the usual course in such matters and throwing the burden upon posterity by an issue of bonds, we were able to make the pay mint outright and yet after It to have in the treasury a surplus of $161,000,000. More over we were able to pay this J50.000.000 out of hand without causing the slight est disturbance to business conditions. We have enacted .a tariff law under which during the past few years the country has attained a height of material well being never before reached. Wages are higher than ever before. That whenever the need arises there should be a readjust ment of the tarift schedules is undoubted; but such i hanges can with safety he made only by those whose devotion to the prin ciple of a protective tariff is beyond ques tion; for otherwise the changes would amount not to readjustment, but to re pea' The readjustment when made must maintain and tot destroy the protective principle. To the farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer this is vital; but pet haps no other man is so much interested as the wage-worker in the maintenance of our present economic system, both as regards the finances and the tariff. The standard of living of our wage-workers is higher than that of any other country, and it cannot so remain unless we have a protective tariff which shall always keep as a minimum a rate of duty sufficient to cover the difference between the labor cost here and abroad. Those who, like our opponents, "denounce protection as a robbery." thereby explicitly commit themselves to the proposition that if they were to revise the tariff no heeil would be paid to the necessity of meeting this difference between the standards of liv ing for wage-workers here ami in other countries; and therefore on this point theii antagonism to our position is funda mental. Here, again, we ask that their promises and ours be judged by what has been done in the immediate past. We ask that sober and sensible men compare the workings of the present tariff law, and the conditions which obtain under it, with the workings of the preceding tariff law of IMM and the conditions which that tariff of 1H64 helped to bring about We believe in reciprocity with foreign nations cn the terms outlined in Presi dent McKlnlcy's last speech, which urged the extension of our foreign markets by reciprocal agreements whenever t hey couid be made without injury to American Indus tr\ and labor. It is a singular fact that the onlv great reciprocity treaty recently adopted—that with Cuba—was finally op posed almost alone by the representatives of the very party which now states that it favors reciprocity. And here again we ask that the worth of out words be judge*} by comparing their deeds with ours. On this Cuban reciprocity treaty there were at the outset grave differences of opin ion among ourselves; and the notable thing in the negotiation and ratification of the treaty, and in the legislation which carried it into effect, was the highly prac tical manner in which without sacrifice of principle these differences of opinion were reconciled. There was no rupture of a great party, but an excellent practical outcome, the result of the harmonious co operation of two successive presidents and two successive congresses. This Is an il lustration of the governing capacity which entitles us to the confidence of the people not only Ir. our purposes but In our prac tical ability to achieve those purposes. Judging by the history of the last 12 years, down to this very month, is there justification for believing that under sim ilar circumstances and with similar initial differences of opinion, our opponents would have achieved any practical result? We have already shown in actual fact that our policy is to do fair and equal justice to all men, paying no heed to wheth er a man is rich or poor; paying no heed to his race, his creed, or his,birthplace. We recognize the organization of cap ital and the organization of labor as nat ural outcomes of our Industrial system. Each kind of organization is to be favored so long as it acts in a spirit of justice and of regard for thf rights of others. Each is to be granted the full protection of the law. and each in turn is to be held to a strict obedience to the law; for no man Is above it and! no man below It. The humblest individual is to have his rights safeguarded as scrupulously as those of the strongest organization, for each is to receive justice, no more and no less. The problems with which we have to deal in our modern industrial and social life are manifold; but the spirit in which it: is necessary to approach their solution is simply the spirit of honesty, of courage, and of common sense. In inaugurating the great work of irri gation in the west the administration lias been enabled by congress to take one of the longest stridfs ever taken under our government toward utilizing our vast na tional domain for the settler, the a.,.ual home-maker. Ever since this continent was discovered the need of an Isthmian canal to connect the Pacific and the Atlantic has been recognized; and ever since the birth of our nation such a canal has been planned. At last the dream has become a reality. The isthmian canal is now being built by the government of the Cnlted States. ' We conducted the negotiations for its const ruc tion with the nicest and most scrupulous honor, and in u spirit of the largest gen erosity toward those through whose ter ritory it was to run. Every sinister ef fort which could be devised by the spirit of faction or the spirit of self-interest was made in order to defeat the treaty with Panama, ami thereby prevent the consum mation of this work. The construction of the canal is now an assured fact; but most certainly it is unwise to entrust the carry ing out of so momentous a pollcv to those who have endeavored to defeat the whole undertaking:. ih-'r' Jm? 18 " poUl ' y hnis been so conducted that, \, liiie not one of our just claims has Hearing Restored by Shock.

The last cause of irritation between rtion» of our country. Above all they Should give us strength with the men aitd women who are the spiritual heirs of those who upheld the hands of Abraham Lincoln: for we are striving to do our work in the spirit with which Linccln approached his. D «r --ing the seven years that have just pnss-d there is no duty, domestic or foreign, which we have shirked; no necessary risk which we have feared to undertake, or which v* have not performed with reasonable effi ciency. We have never pleaded impo tence. We have never sought refuge in criticism and complaint instead of ac tion. We face the future with our past and our present as guarantors of our prem ises; and we are content to stand or to fail by tie record which wt have made and are making. STABILITY OF MOUNTAINS. Scientific Measurements for the Infor mation of Generations Yet Unborn. At the recent gathering ol tlie Asso ciation of Academies, Sir A. Geikie moved a resolution, which was unani mously adopted, says the London Tele graph.in favor of international coop eration in the efforts to obtain "Pre cise determination of levels in moun tain chains subject to earthquakes, with the view of ascertaining whether such chains are stable, or are undergo ing movements of deviation or depres sion." Another proposal aimed to se cure measurements of the value of gravity, with the object, so far as geo logical questions are concerned, of throwing light on the internal distribu tion of masses in the earth and on the rigidity or isostasy of the terrestrial crust. These problems i all for minute and rigorous observation. In this way it is believed to have been proved that the land about the city of New YorlS has been subsiding since 1875 at the rate of about 1.45 feet (nearly inches) per century. Posterity 1,000 or 10,000 years hence will have a right to know not merely how high Etna or Vesuvius was in 1904, but what were the elevation and appearance of Beachy Head; how much the old rock has lost by waste of the sea at its foot, or by denuding rains on its summit and Hanks; or how much it may have gained by uplifting forces. They will know these things in 2904, just as they will know how the stars and nebulae are distributed in our skies, and the knowledge will be very helpful to the future astronomers and geologists. In these matters photography, as the handmaid of research, can render easi ly and cheaply incomparable services. Wanted a Chance.

Chicago, July .'!(). —Unable: to ar range a conference with represent atives of the New York packers, Michael J. Donnelly, president of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butchers' Workmen of America, has ordered a strike of all the members of his organization employed in New York by Schwarzschlld & Sulzberger and the United Dressed Heef Co. The order, which was telegraphed to New York last night, does not go into effect until Sunday, as the men in the east ern packing plants do not report lor work on Saturday. The decision to extend the strike to the east was not taken until after Mr. Donnelly and his associates had spent the clay in a fruitless effort to arrange a meeting with represent atives of the eastern packers who came to Chicago to acquaint them selves with the situation here. That, the probabilities of a settle ment by the opposing interests in Chi cago are as remote as ever was plainly demonstrated when Henry C. Wallace, of Des Moines, ia., and A. L. Ames, of Buckingham, la., called on Hie pack ers with a proposition front the strike leaders offering to concede the most important point in the controversy if the employers would agree to renew peace negotiations. Mr. Wallace and Mr. Ames were told by the packers that there was no possible chance for any further conciliatory move and that the packers were now in a posi tion where they could ignore the labor unions, atul that they proposed to do so. Eighty colored men being trans ported from the stock yards in two cars on the Lake Shore road, were thrown into a panic by a furious at tack by a mob of 200 throwing stones which demolished nearly every win dow in both cars. Following the arrest of George Golden, chief of the Packing Team sters' union, for picketing, riots be came more frequent in the vicinity of the stock yards Friday afternoon. In one disturbance a molt captured a loaded meat wagon after it had left the stock yards, upset the wagon and threw the meat into the street. The most serious riot occurred in South Chicago, where five men were arrest ed for trying to prevent the delivery of meat. No one was seriously in jured in any of the many disturbances. More business was done Friday by the packers than at any time since the strike began. The statement was made last night by one of the packers that fully 13,000 men are now at work in the seven plants where the union men are on strike. This is nearly half as many men as went on strike.

John M. won the 2:03 pace. Sweet Marie took the 2:14 trot and Dr. Strong won the 2:10 trot. Eudora won the 2:25 pace in straight heats. Detroit. July 29.—The Grosse Pointe track was in good condition yesterday for the fourth day's racing of the meeting of the Detroit Driving club. The Chamber of Commerce consola tion stake for 2:24 class pacers and the 2:05 pace were the features. China Maid, which was well thought of by many for the Chamber of Commerce on Monday, was made favorite for the consolation selling race. Only three horses started and Angus Pointer won the race. Bob Hughes won the 2:17 pace and Frank Yoakum the 2:05 pace.

Fall River, Mass., July 27. —The cot ton mill strike in this city has tied up the mills so completely that by noon Tuesday not a wheel was moving in the 81 mills where a reduction of 12% per cent, in wages was announced.

Another citizen placed at the disposal of the strikers an order for 1,000 loaves of bread. The strikers are looking to nature to pro vide much of their food during the strike, anil large parties are digging claims and picking berri.es. Rear Admiral Taylor Dies.
