Ulllui Hoot, who hntl not born BtiU
Mltuted us n delegate In the conven
tion, witi called to lliu platform by the
clmlrmiin and ninde i statement as to
the eligibility of Mr. Roosevelt to hold
ofllce. He wild thnt Mr. Roosevelt hud
always oteil In Oyster Hay and had
merely lemoved personal property to
Washington. Uo had nlwn.vs paid tax
es In Oyster Hay and had merely re
fused to pay taxes on property he was
using In Washington, and by his nlll
davlt ho inertly said that he was not
a resident of New Yoik. He read n
letter from Mr. Hoosevelt saying that
he paid his tax In Ovster Hay nnd that
he should not be naked to pay It In
New York also. The statement Indt
ratpd that he had no domicile in New
York city and that he was residing
In Washington, but It did not
say that he did not reside In
Oyster Bay. It won a settled fact In
law that a man could have two resi
dences, and that was especially true
in the ease of a Washington ofllce
holder and the coutts had so declared
Mr. Hoot's statement was told In the
delivery styliS of a legal opinion.
At 7.15 Secretary of State Palmer
moved a roll call and the motion wan
adopted. When the calling began
thero was applause at every vote, but
soon the anxiety to have the result
soon accomplished prevailed and the
roll was called with rapidity. Mr.
Hoosevelt had a practical walk-over
and at 7.3C enough of votes had been
cast to nominate him.
RESULT OF THE VOTE.
At 7.41 the roll call was completed
and the vote was announced as fol
lows: Roosevelt, 75 J; Plack, 21S. Then
the auditors and the delegates rose in
n great mass and cheered. Judge Cady
got the floor and moved the unanimous
nomination. While the Question was
pending Senator Krum, who had sup
ported Governor Black, said: "On be
half of Governor Black and his friends,
I say that they will stand by Theodore
Roosevelt as he stood by the country."
The nomination was made unani
mous, and at 7.45 the convention stood
in recess until 9 o'clock.
The delegates did not return to the
hall punctually and the night session
was not called to order until 3.43
o'clock.
The chairman announced that the
platform was ready and General
Woodford read It. The reading was
frequently Interspersed with applause,
and when the reading was finished the
platform was adopted unanimously.
THE PLATFORM.
After congratulating the country and
the national administration on the out
come of the war, the platform opposes
the return of any of the Antilles or
Philippines to Spain and commends
the annexation of Hawaii. It then re
news allegiance to the St. Louis plat
form, and continuing says:
Our next legislature will elect another
United States senator to succeed tho pres
ent Democratic senator from this stace.
Democratic leaders declare that they will
conduct tho compalgn upon state Issues
nlono. But It Is known that If tho Demo,
cratlc party secures the mate leguslature
It will re-elect to tho United States senate
that Democrat who now represents his
party there and misrepresents the state.
That senator supported the causo of tree
silver; supported the nominees of the Chi
cago convention in tho last presidential
election: Bavo his vote In the senate for
the heresies of that Chicago plattorm and
must, if re-elected, continue to support
can members of congress and of a HepuD
llcan members of congress and of Repub
lican stuto legislature will mean that
New York shall stand for the mainten
ance of tho if old standard and for such
a revision of tho currency laws as will
guarantee to tho labor of the country
that every paper promise to pay a dollar.
Issued under the authority of the United
States, shall be of absolute and equal
valuo with a gold dollar always and ev
erywhere. The Republican party Is fulfilling th'lr
pledges made at St. Louis: We hae en
acted a conservative protective tariff, for
wisely devised tho revenue is amply
sufficient to pay the ordlnarv expends
of government in times of peace, while
capital Is encouraged to seek emploi
ment and tho wages of labor arc main
tained at that high standard, which ex
perience, has proved to be necessurv to
the welfare of our people. Our exports
largely exceed our Imports. Tho gold ot
the world comes steadily to our shore
nnd with a continuance of Republican
policy and Republican national adminis
tration the prosperous future or the na
tion Is assured.
The platform concludes with a de
tailed lecltal of the reforms and im
provements made in New York under
Republican rule.
TAMMANY AT SYRACUSE.
Croker nnd His Followers Piepare
for Business.
Syracuse, N. Y Sept. 27. The arriv
al ot the Tammany hall delegutlon late
this afternoon, with Richard Ciokei
at Its head, was the event of the dnv
here, and about it all the convention
news centered.
It wns announced by the leaders as
they went to dinner that none of the
many candidates for the gubernutoilal
a nomination had been decided upon for
'their support, and that the selection
of thq men to head the ticket was still
an open question. They admitted In
dividually that tho entire subject of
the selection of the most available
n.an had been under full and free dis
cussion, and while Mr. Croker said
that the decision would be the spon
taneous act of the convention, It was
declared that another meeting of the
leaders would be held tomorrow morn
ing previous to the calling of the con
vention. After the conference had closed a
meeting of the state committee was
held, at which the details foi the or
ganization and operation of the con
vention was decided upon.
The committee did not, however, de
cide upon any programme as to tho
platform as it might relate to tho
money plank of the Chicago national
platform.
The Massachusetts meeting of Chi
cago platform Democrats at the Al
hambra tonight was attended by nbout
3,000 people, who manifested a hearty
approval of the sentiments expiessed

Bridgeport, Conn., Sept. 27. Tho chief
event today In the Yellow Mill pond
tragedy was the atialgnment of Harry
Oxley, now known oillclnlly as Albert
II, Oxley, In tho city court, .on the
charge of manslaughter. At ihe re
quest of Prosecuting Attorney Hatllctt,

however. During tho examination Mrs.

lieved to have been used In dismem
bering the body, and soon after It wns
brought Into the ofllce. It was neces
sary to send In a glnss of water to
ono of the colored women thnt had
fainted, but which one it would not be
told.
An effort wns nlso made to get Oxley
to talk, but he replied that on advice
of counsel he hnd nothing to say.
BOLD BANK ROBBERY.
Building at Frankfort Destroyed by
Dynamite Tho Cashier Shot.
rrnnkfort, Ind., Sept. 27. The bold
est and one of the most successful
bank lobberles that ever occurred In
this section of the state was perpetiat
ed at Flora, a small town ten miles
north of this city, at three o'clock
this morning The bank is a private
corporation with William Lnnnum act
ing ns cashier. At the hour named he
was awakened bv tho noise of a ter
rific explosion which shattered the
windows in his lesldence, fifty yards
from the bank. Getting up and go
ing to the bank.whlch was In a brick
building, ho found the entire building
demolished. As he staited Inside he
was flied upon by some unknown party
with a shot gun, the chaige taking
effect In the face and blow Ing out one
eye. The noise of the explosion arous
ed the town and a great crowd col
lected. It was soon learned that the
bank safe had been blown to pieces
with dynamite, pieces of it having
been blown across tho btteet The
robbers secured between $12,000 and
$15,000.
Cashier Lannum probably will die.
Tho robbeis made their escape upon a
hand car, which thej left at SedalK,
five miles north of hete. The whole
country Is aroused nnd the lobbeis will
hardly escape.
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 27 Out of a
mass of rumors regatding the cnptuie
of tho robbeis who raided the bank at
Flora today, the most reliable is that
only one man has been aricsted, and
he Is in the county Jail at Delphi. A
dispatch from Delphi sajs thero is no
clue positively to the criminals yet,
except that furnished by this one man
and that Is to the effect that he had on
his person two watches nnd J2S0. In
tense excitement prevails throughout
Carroll county more because of the
shooting of the cashier than of the
robbery, and the guilty parties would
piobably be lynched If caught. The
Delphi dispatch says that the amount
of money taken wns from $5,000 to $10 -000,
$r.,000 at least was In gold, and
that tho wounds indicted upon Cashier
Lenon, while severe, are not consldeied
fatal. All the eat Her reports about his
condition were greatly exaggeiated.
Another dispatch says that the des
peradoes were surrounded In a corn
Held and woods near Woodville, Cai
roll county, and still another dispatch
says that part ot the gang was cap
tut ed with all of the stolen money

THE FAVORITES 0F1I1.
How llic Matron preserves Her
Maiden itcnuly.
Ilns old rather Time his fivorltes?
It would seem so. Two joung glrK
slstirs or schoolmates, assume the re
sponsibilities of wedlock nt the same
time. They uto equally young, equally
fult. They walk In even step with
Time for n few years, nnd then they
are so different In appearance thnt
they might pnss for mother nnd daugh
ter Instead of women of equal ego.
As a. matter of fnct Time has no fav
orites; ho Is Kind to those who are kind
to themselves. Tho younger looking
woman will tell ott she does not know
how It Is that she keeps her youth and
fairness, she uses no cosmetic, no pow
der, no paint. The woman who looks
so much older will bay, "I'm obliged to
use paint nnd powder, I have to cover
up my yellow Bkln and hide these
wrinkles." If you probe u little deeper
Into the secrets cf these women, you
will find that the youthful one has
learned that the best cosmetics is
heaPh, and that thete can be no -general
health for the body which is hour
ly undermined by Ilia locnl ill-health of
the delicate female organs. Knowing
this she hn'j taken prompt means to
cure the disagreeable dialns, the bearing-down
pains, which to a greatei'or
less extent affected most women who
experience the tremendous change
which by marriage and motherhood Is
wrought on the distinctly feminine or
gans. The older appealing woman will tell
you the common story of constant nnd
useless doctoring for backache, for fe
male weakness, fot debilitating drains.
Inilnmmation like a fire burns up her
strength. Ulceration like n leech wip3
her v ltallty. Nature cannot make a
bright eye nnd a pure complexion with
out llch, puie blood. This w Oman's
blood Hows slugglshlv along the carals
of the body, like rome oozy, slimy etii
rent, whose mutton barely keeps It
fiom utter stagnation.
Reautv Is every woman's birthright.
A healthy woman Is nlways beautiful.
This seiet of health nnd beauty for
evry woman lies In the' recognition of
the plain truth that where thete ore
local diseases of the organs distinctive
ly feminine, theie can be no health and
b'.iuty while these debilitating, llfe
sapplng nllments continue.
"Hut " comes the natuinl question
"can these diseases bo cuied'" It Is
no wonder v omen as-k the question In
view of tin' falltucv of ordlnaty piaeti
tlonets. Hundreds of thousands of such
cases have m the past tnltty jeais
been leferred to Dr. R. V. Pi'-i oo. chief
consulting physician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute. P.uffalo,
N. Y and although the majoiity ale
chronic casts aggravated by Injudi
cious and Ignorant tioutnicnt, yet the
gient lecoicl stands that of thousands
of hiteh sullfilng women ninety-eight
out of eveij bundled have been en
tirely cuied. The two In every bundled
vvhoie eases could not be cuied, havti
tecelved ullevlntlon nnd help which
made them lasllnglv grateful. These
clues have In the main been effected
b.v the use of Dr Pierce's Favoilto
Pi e-ei Iptlon. This gieat medicine Is
the specific of a specialist who has
c,i.cti ovei thirty ye.us of his life to
th" studv and cum of female diseases.
Its effect upon the delicate female or
gans Is most mat bed It puts out the
llr of inflammation ns heaven's rain
quenches tin- feaiful ton .-it lire. It
heals ulcerations as gently and as
suiely as time hnls the wounded spir
it, healing eveiy daj and all day and
eveiy night and al! night. It diks up
dlKigr 'cable riinlno. It impaits vital
ity and elasticity to the organs of
mothcihood, ho that b iby entei.s th
world easily and gently as the .,un
beam be resembles. It establishes the
general health, and restoies to woman
her blitluight: the lithesome foi in, the

Tho iccord of such cures Is unim

Special to the Scianton Tiibune.
West Nicholson, Sept, 27. The In
habitants of the plctuiesque hamlet of
West Nicholson were moused lat
night by an alaim ot lire, the scent
being the store of Messis. Stark and
Dov Ie. The cause of Ihe flro stems to
have been the accidental ovei turning
of an oil lamp In one of the lowei
looms of the stoie. Help was prompt
ly forthcoming, the neighbors being
summoned bv the ngencv of Mr. Hik
er's dinner bell, which that gentle
man wielded In as vlgotous u manner
as when employing It for Its moie
legitimate and peaceful purpose. West
Nicholson Is not quite so well equip,
ped as New York or Chicago In the
mattei of Hre engines (steam, chemical
or otherwise), and the only available
somee of water supply Is a chain
pump, which, howevei, admirable a

to the adjacent dwelling house of Mr.

the ftunltuie The inmutes having
been biought out, the piopiletor, as

und other friends of Mr Hiker, who
lives Just opposite not to mention the
heiolc effoits of that gentleman him

being foiced eventually by the lire to

in this connection may be mentioned
the conspicuous bravery of Miss Rva
Wagner, she going into the cellar after
the stall case was on Hie and bringing
out seveial articles. The buildings be
ing of wood were rapidly consumed.
A touching Incident was the death of
n valuable hound of Mr. Stnik's, He
lefused to be dilven from the build

bravely met his end on the porch,
where his remains now lie.
The stoie was also the local post

A WORK TOR REPUBLICANS.
From tho New Toik Sun.
Aside from tho obvious financial and
economic leasons for electing a Kepub

there lire two special reasons arising one
of the war with Spain. A form ot gov

nexed teirilory, for it Is hardly probablo
that the picMnt eoi.giess will have tlmo
to settle; the man) question arising from
tho pas-sing of the Spanish conquered ter

cratle part) as a wholo is not heartily In
fiueir of letalning the new acquisitions.

American Intel ests in tho east will ba

back and tries to block tho wheels ot
progress

the extent of territory that baa been
added or will piobably be added to thu
United States us part of the fiuit or tint

dangers of a standing arm and promis
