Frank Weichel, who has been representing the International Correspondence Schools for the past year at Toronto, Canada, is spending a few days ELL, It Is all over, that great convention. It Is now nothing but a memory a memory ot wave upon wave of upturned faces, of bTllows of pennants, of the steady pul sating of fans and a strange kaleido scope of color. There Is a memory of the sensation of frightful heat, which everyone was too excited to realize at the time, and then comes a faint repe tition of the thrill one experienced when those states started on their parade round tho halt. Imagine a lot ot mile-post signs on poles, eight or ten feet high, planted at regular in tervals down the delegates' section of tho house, and bearing the names of our states and territories. Imagine see ing them suddenly uprooted by frantic hands and trotted up the broad aisle In a wild, swaying procession to the accompaniment of an ever-swelling tor nado of shouts. They tried to lift Ohio far above the yelling, struggling mass, but no man by taking thought even of his ambition and pride of a state oi presidents and statesmen, can add a cubit unto his stature, and consequent ly a plume of pampas rass waved Its fair trl-color in the ascendant.

Just then the procession was passing the platform, and Mrs. Stone, wife of the governor, leaned forward and, grasping the staff, aided In bearing It aloft until It rose, as It should, far overtopping the sister states, and how the throngs cheered. "We must have Pennsylvania flrst," said the gover nor's fair lady, laughing in a half-embarrassed fashion, after her unpre meditated and impulsive movement. Pennsylvania's ensign was the ob ject of close attention by the great assemblage. It was here under the placard that Mr. Quay sat, close to the wide centre aisle. He grasped the staff of Oregon in front. Since tho demon stration of the day before, people were watching out for anything which might happen In connection with "the senator from Pennsylvania," to quote Chair man Lodge. Tho Fllnn faction did not Intend to be caught napping on this occasion, and let such a wave of Quay enthusiasm capture the convention. The Quay sympathizers proposed to cheer their man as often as they pleased, and they did It with such a will that the unhappy disaffected found themselves In a minority too dismally hopeless to bo heard, and they didn't exactly follow the example of Peter and go out and weep bitterly, but they met in hotel corridors afterwards and made vows, and then fell to scrapping over the matter of explaining how It happened that Quay got an ovation every time he sneezed, while the public 6eemed to have forgotten that Wana maker, Van Valkenburg & Co. were on the earth. Then they went around to the Wanamaker papers with their ex planations. You read them today. One man, who sneered when ths Quay applause took place on Wednes day, made a suggestion that some body mention Wanamaker's name and hear the thunders of enthusiasm which would ensue. "Just you try It!" yelled a Quay advocate, hoarsely, who sat near. "Just you try It, and listen to the frost," which was rather mixed as to metaphor, but unmistakable as to sentiment. Then he dared the Wana makerite to pipe up for his idol, and then as promptly invited him out to fight, and the other man subsided Into a severe silence, amid Jeers from all sides. It by Installments, howovcr, on his wny out. At tho entrance tho admir ing crowd would have forcibly taken him off his feet and borne him to his carrlago had not the swnrm of police in tho vicinity quickly closed in and rescued him. The populaco were wont to mob "our Chauncey" at these pe riods of Incoming nnd outgoing but on this occasion ns ho passed through tho throng he was allowed to flee, ac companied by rt few cheers, for wasn't) there Teddy Just behind 7 Now let hero bo a prediction: Teddy will not bo dead yet if he doesn't catch typhoid fever from the Philadel phia water, or meet with some similar disaster. Ho was prophesied as hav ing killed himself upon becoming a member ot the cabinet family, but he lived to go up San Juan Hill. Ho was guaranteed dead that time after as sisting in the "round robin" protest In Cuba, but he became governor of New York stat-e. He was supposed to have effectually nchlevcd suicide when he demanded Payne's resignation, but he will be vice president of the United States and even that grave won't hold him. Keep your eye on Teddy. Senator Chauncey M. Depew is ev erything a fond country has pictured. It pays to be good and to have noble thoughts, If for nothing than to bear a face like that. No picture of brush or pen can do Justice to such nobility of countenance. Some one In the final stage of paresis has been the medium of circulating a rumor to tho effect that ho Is growing old. If to be old Is to have eyes ns young ns the blue of the June sky then we may all stretch forth our hands gladly to age. I had a. good long look from those eyes tho other day as I came face to face with their owner nt the front of the audi torium and am prepared to stand by this statement. If to be old is to have a skin of deli cate texture and clear smoothness, with no lines of care or irritability then age is not so bitter but a smile can make It sweet. If to be old is to have a splendid erectness of figure, a ringing sonorous voice which pene trated the deepest, noisiest corner of a great building, to have a fineness of courtesy unlike nlmost anything In tho world, to have time to be gracious and pleasant and gentle In this modern day hurry, then perhaps Dr. Depew la old and we are all ridiculously young and crude. To be sure the snows that melt not arc gathering on his head, but look at that face. Age If thou bo this we welcome thee!

To be sure, he couldn't have well done that; It wouldn't have been modest as long as there was no uncertainty about his nomination, but It was a pity that the big, good natured crowd couldn't have had the satisfaction of having him hear the yells In person, Instead of by proxy. Anyway, you can't enthuse as much over a renomlnatlon as over a new one. Even Teddy wasn't escorted to the platform, as everybody thought he would be, In order to receive public congratulations. He Just sat down there in front of Chauncoy Depew and smiled his own copyrighted smile. One couldn't but wonder what were his sensations. Did he really want It all the time, as some believed? Was ho happy and proud, with no admix ture of longing for a certain flesh-pot containing a more or less tough gov ernorship of New York, with a pos sibility, when it was all eaten to tha bone, that It might be miraculously replaced by a Juicy tenderloin of tho presidency? What does a man think when twenty thousand people aro shouting themselves Into premature bronchitis in a temperature of 100 de grees over him, and when It seems the whole world, with the exception of Mark Hanna and Tim Woodruff, wants him for a lofty placer What does a man think when he finds himself thus at the proudest pinnacle of his career and only at the age of forty-one? What did Teddy think? I can't pre tend to say. I sat where I could look Into his face, as one looks into the face of a man across the dinner table. Ho coquetted with his fan, and listened when Odell whispered In his ear, and he showed his teeth In that weird smile. When Senator Depew was speaking, ho listened with the most devout atten tion, his short-sighted eyes never blinking in their fixed gaze, and some of the things the senator said about him were enough to make one's heart burn with pride in our hero of the day. Congressman Connell came in for n great deal of attention at the national convention. His rooms were the head quarters for not only Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, but for prominent guests from all over tno country. He gave the leaders no little worry at the beginning with his boom for Charles Emory Smith, and many of the most sagacious now say that If the post master general had stood firmly to the project he might have been nominated. Quay kept In close touch with Mr. Connell and frequently sent for him for conferences. His leaning toward his friend Dolliver endeared him to the western people and his friends in the lower house, as well as the senate, were legion. He was tho target for the camera fiend whenever ho appeared outside his hotel, and was recognized as a power In the deliberations of the state committee. At the preliminary caucus he was called to the chair by Mr. Quay, and on Friday, at the meet ing of the national committee, ho rep resented Pennsylvania's representative in the organization and was Quay's proxy In the voting. Senators and gov ernors were among those who were to bo found at his rooms, and one of the latest visitors who called to pay re spects was Mayor Ashbridge. Mr. Connell had an able assistant at his headquarters in the person of Assist ant Postmaster John Williams, of Wilkes-Barre. An amusing Incident took place on the last day of the convention. As the cnogressman from this district was en tering the grounds a street fakir threw into the carriage a handful of small, green objects, which on Inspection proved to bo tho most exact Imitation of a cucumber pickle. Of course, they were labeled "Heinz," and were pro vided with a ring for suspension upon a watch chain. Mr. Connell laughed heartily as he said: "We made them at our button works up In Scranton. Ho gave us an order for a million of them for this convention." The Lackawanna delegation showed up prominently in various Important lines connected with the convention. Mr. Dale made a most pleasing im pression on more than the state repre sentatives, and Mr. Warren's abilities received due recognition in the cau cuses and committee deliberations. He was mentioned as the best-looking man in the Pennsylvania delegation. Mrs. Warren and Miss Warren accom panied the major, and were also the recipients of much pleasing recog nition from distinguished guests at the Stratford. Rev. Dr. George Edward Tteed, state librarian, and president of Dickinson college, who was an alternate, came In for much attention as one of the hand somest men among the national dele gates. ... Well, to sum up, nobody in the wide world should miss a Republican na tional convention, If he can possibly get there. It Is a sight that you want to see once In your life, and you'll be glad and proud forever after that you are a Republican. If you happen to be a Democrat, you will probably want to change your politics. Just as those billionaire Colorado delegates did since McKlnley times set In. But it was an awful strain, this big convention, and tho present writer feels exactly as if her ears were pointing forward like a pony's, because of much endeavor to listen to everything, and her eyes were bulging Brownie-fashion, because of much desire to see everything.

I BREAKFAST I COCOA i i i Memories of New York's World Ex position in 1853. from the New York Times. "Therc'w time enough for no end of evolution In forty years," observed the gray haired man, "so naturally tho Chicago Exposition was another sort of a show from the World's Fair we had here In New York away back in the 50's. But that was considered a wonderful thing in its time, and not without reason, as It showed the en terprise of the American citizen of 1S63. "It was not gotten up by the coun try at large, or by the state, or even by the city, but was the work of an association of private citizens, and though, of course, it didn't come with 1ft. hailing distance of the World's Fair held In London two years before, It did credit to thofo who got it up. "I never pass through Bryant park that I do not think of it, for that was where the New York Crystal Palace stood for the short time before It was burned down. For beauty of architec ture that building knocked the spots out of any other structure that has been erected In this country, and we young Americans were proud to show it to Europeans, even while it was surrounded bv scaffolds. "New York was a small place then, comparatively speaking, and Bryant Park, known as Reservoir Park, was so far up town as to be quite suburban. On the day of the opening the crowd was about as big as anything I have seen here since, and, in spite of the heat and dust It was the 14th of July was as good humored as the New York crowd usually Is. The population of this city was then about 300,000, but on that day it seemed to bo nearer ten million. There were visitors, of course, from all over the country, flocking In as fast as the trains could bring them in. "The most important visitor was the president of the United States, Frank lin Pierce: but if you heard the hur rahing from the crowd around the Cry stal Palace that day, when he came In sight, coming clown Forty-second street, mounted on a big black horse, and attended by the Washington Grays, you might have thought he was George Washington himself. Before going to work to open the fair he dis appeared into a Sixth avenue saloon to get a drink of brandy and water, and folks could not blame him for It, ns the mercury must have been In the neighborhood of the nineties. "General Winfteld Scott was here, too, towering above everybody else, and the place was fairly swarming with governors, to say notning or tne dis tinguished European visitors, though New York didn't bank so high then on distinguished European visitors as It does now. Bishop Walnrlght made the opening prayer, and then there was the Hallelujah Chorus" and 'Old Hundred,' followed by no end of operatic music. "The World's Fair directors after ward gave a dinner at the Metropolitan Hotel. I wasn't Invited to it, I am sorry to say, as I was young enough nt the time, being Just out of round Jack ets, to do full Justice to It. The bill of fare was so uncommonly grand that It was published In the papers, some thing unusual those days. I remember it began by being French, but dropped Into American by the time it reached the roaBts, and in the pastry course were six different kinds of pies. Ameri cans ruled America at that time, and they weren't going to give up their pies to please the finest French cook ever Imported."

But trot out yer glasses, mister, and we'll see If we can trade." So tho doctor opened his case and commenced to try on the glasses. As each was fitted on his nose the farmer looked gravely onto tho page of the weekly paper and then off at the wall. "No, that ain't It yet," he would say. At last he seemed to get discouraged. "I don't believe ye've got anything in your stock," said he, "that's goln' to do me any good. Guess we might's well stop tryin'." Quoth the doctor: "Well, try these. It's the last pair we haven't tested. If they don't fit we'll call it a bad job." And he carefully placed the glasses astride the farmer's nose and passed the paper over to him. The farmer read awhile in silent de light and then looked at the doctor. "Complete!" cried the farmer, ecstat ically. "I hain't seen so well to read for years. These are Jest what I call fust-class!" "I'm glad I suited you," said the doctor, as he tucked $3 in his vest pocket and hastened away. "I thought I could fix you before we got done." "And he did fix me," said the farmer, telling about the matter the other day. "When I went to look at them glasses after supper, blamed If I didn't find that they were nothin' but jest bows not a speck of glass in either side of 'em. It cost me $3 to find out that my old eyes are pretty good to read with, after all."

A Bottle of the Stuff Broken Over the Spire of the New Church. Prom the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Congregational church at Aus tinburg, Ohio, was dedicated as a house of worship by the breaking of a bottle of whiskey over its spire. This town, located six miles south of Geneva, will next June celeorate tho one-hundtvdth anniversary of Its set tlement; nnd tho old church near it.? geographical renter has the distinction of being the first frame church built upon tho Western Reserve. Tho days when this church was built were avowedly ths days of whiskey. It was the day when the drink was poured out freely by all who attended the intslnqr ot a building, and when every one partook of it as we of the present would drink a glass of lemon ade. Even the Rev. Giles W. Cowles, the hero of Au&linburg nnd veteran minister of the country, partook of tho "firewater," and pastors subsequently filling tho pulpit of the church stopped ut tho village store, before and after nttendln? services, to take an "eye opener." Tho "ralsirg" of the church occupied a whole week, having been begun on Monday morning and completed Sat urday ufternoon. On the last day the entire community was upon the scene to wltnehs the dedicatory ceremonies. As none of those erecting tho building would climb to the top of the spire, which is over one hundred feet from the ground, the services of a lake sailor were procured. With a rope in his hand he climbed to the top of the top most point of the edifice and as tho last timber was placed he drew a bottle of whiskey fro . the ground by means of a rope, and, breaking It over tho spire, shouted: "Three cheers for the new chuich!"
