At St Louis, at daylight, last Satnr day morning, after an all night sessiot daring which they had adopted a ' plat form" without a money "plank," tfc Democratic National Convention nomi nated Judge Parkar of New York State for President on fint ballot—Parke #67, Hearst 300—and made it anani BOOK. Mr. Parker promptly wired to i friend in the convention tba* he was i gold-standard man, -nd if the majority of the convention did not like that the] had ample time to nominate anothe rn.n but the convention wrestled witl the matter, and then wired him to staj on; and the following night they nomi nated ex-Senator Davis of W. Va., fo) Vice President. The Convention was delayed by tli< long wrangle over the money questioi —Bryan making most of the trouble— and also by the superstition of tb< Southern members against making f nomination on Friday. Then Parker threw them into renewed con fusion, and they did not reach an ad journed until the small hours of Sun day morning. Last Thursday State Senator Andrew G. Williams, accompanied by P. W Lowry, Warren McCreary, and Wui Watson, of Mt. Chestnut, as conferees and County Chairman J. M. Painte; and Levi M. Wise, went to Kittannin* to meet with Hon. George W. McNees the Armstrong county nominee and hi: conferees, Col. Samuel M. Jackson Harvey Painter and J. V. Cram, am consider the selection of a candidate foi the 41st district. They deadlocked, ai was expected, and adjourned to meet ai this place. At Indianapolis, June 30, the Prohib' nominated Parson Silas Swallow o: Harrisburg for President, and Georg< Carroll of Texas for Vice President General Miles postively declined th< honor. Hon. W. O. Smith, editor of the Pnnx'y Spirit has been renominated foi Congress in Armstrong-Jefferson-In diana district. Thomas E. Watson of Georgia ha.< been nominated for President by th< Populists. The make-up of President Roosevelt* tevised Cabinet is now as follows: Secretary of State- -John Hay, Districi of Columbia. Secretary of the Treasury—Leslie M. Shaw, lowa. Secretary of War—William H. Taft Ohio. Attorney - General—William H. Moody, Massachueeetts. Postmaster General—Henry C. Payne, Wisconsin. Secretary of the JNavy—Paul Morton, Illinois. Secretary of the Interior —Ethan Allen Hitchcock, Missouri. Secretary of Agriculture—James Wil son, lowa. Secretary of Commerce and Labor- Victor H. Metcalf. California. Esopus. Returning delegates from the Demo cratic National Convention, flying home from St. Louis, have a very vivid recol lection of that all night session, but if they have silver tips to their wings they must yet be wondering what it was all for, and where they ere at. The nomination of two gold-standard men, one of whom is a millionare many times over, for President and Vice Pres ident, by a free silver party was the moet incongruous thing ever done by any party of this Nation. Jndge Parker calls his place on the Hudson "Esopus," which indicates that he is an admirer of the ancient writer oi fables, bnt there was always a "mor al" or conclusion to Esop's fables, and what conclusion can be drawn from this strange action of the Democratic party, unless it be — Wall street, Wall street. Wall street WAR NOTEST The expected, great and decisive,bat tie between the Japs and Russians in Manchuria has not yet taken place—or at least had not up to yesterday. The Japs captured the town of Kaiping or Kai-Chau on the railroad and the port of Ying-Kow on the coast at the montli of the Liao nver nearby, and these two points will probably be their new bases of supplies. They keep the screen down and their every movement is a mystery to outsiders, though apparently madt deliberately and governed by the strong est of copinon sense. The two armies are said to be facing each other on op poeite banks of a branch of the Liao. In the meantime the investment of Port Arthur continues, and there is ou doubt but that the Japs are gradually dosing in upon it. The dispatches ol Monday had the Japs capturing a hill within three miles of the town .which was probably untrue, as was also those of yesterday, which slaughtered thirty thousand Japs on a mined hill. At Nan Shan small detachments of Japs rushed up the hill, and those who survived eul the wires. THE steel and iron industries art looking up, coal is in good demand, railway earnings are increasing, the stock market is booming, and plenty oi gold is coming from Alaska. The bus iness interests of the country have im proved, decidedly, during the patl week. North Washington Academy The Commencement exercises oi North Washington Institute were hel< : June 28-30.

The Market—Both agencies surprised the producers by a cut of five cents last Saturday morning, which dropped the price of Penn'a crude to (1.52. The cut was probably made on account of the 2000-barrel well in West Virginia, and the decline in the use of refined during the beat term; and a further reduction of 2-cent was made yesterday, making the price $1.50. Fairview —McGill & Co.'s No. 2, on the Ehrhart is reported at five barrels; Berry & Co.'s well on the Bell at four, and Mrs. Parker's No. 3, on the Alex Story at five.

Mr. and Mrs. Robert Adams, promi nent citizens of Hooker, enjoyed a most happy family reunion, July Fourth— the occasion being the 50th anniversary of their marriage. The family, which has been widely separated, were all present, with the exception of Miss Alice Adams of Kansas City and five grand children, the children of Mf. and Mrs. Grannis of Swiesvale. There were present of the family Mrs. Robert Kirkpatrick, her husband and three sous of Dayton; Mrs. Samuel Grannis, her husband and two sons of Swissvale; Elmer Adams, his wife and three children of Kansas City; Mrs. Conway Kuhn, her husband and two children and Mrs. Alvie Campbell, hr husband and two children.

A few other friends were present and a moet delightful day was spent in this pleasant home As Mr. and Mrs. Adams graced the head of the long table spread on the lawn their appearance made it hard to realize they could look back over fifty years of married life. Fc%v who are permitted to enjoy thiij anniversary retain so well their youth ful looks, and the children and friends looked with pride and thanksgiving tip on the bride a;jd bridegroom of half a century ago. They were the recipient* of the hearty congratulations of numerous friends and of many beautiful and valuable gifts including gold pieces to the amount of $25. For over thirty years the older resi dents of Hooker have had for staunch and true friends and for ideal neighbors Mr and Mrs. Adams. May they live many more years to bless others and to themselves enjoy the twilight of life. A FiiiENb. Paradise Valley. There is no lovelier spot on Earth than the upper valley of th'' Raystown branch of the Juuiata river, in Bedford connty. this state, in which the town of Bedford is located: ami the little valley opening into it from the east—the loca tion of Bedford Springs and the great hotel—conies a? near being a paradise, ilnring the heated term, as one can well imagine. The conntry there consists of a serie; of mountain ranges, enclosing valleys o: all widths and lengths, and this partic ular valley is but a few rods iu widtb and a few miles in length —the rangeOD one side being of a sandstone formation and on the other of limestone, both weli covered with forests and with a cooling breeze always coming down tfce valley The springs that flow from the base of the limestone range were known for their medicinal finalities to the natives ages before the appearance of the white man, and were promptly recognized and made nee of by him, and the little stream that flows through the valley was. in days gone by, the most famous trout stream in the county. The old stone hotel, now so covt-red with frame work that it is not readily distinguished from the other frame buildings, was built iu 1811, and it be came a great resort for the poli ticians and statesmen of the early days of the republic; the large brick, in colonial style, was built in 1811, and the place became so populai that building after building was erected until the row became one of H'.OO feet in length, all. with one exception, four stories high, making it one of the larg est hotels in the country. The interior of the colonial building has lately been so remodeled that old timers hardly recognize it. The entire second floor has been turned into a din ing-room that has no superior for beauty in the country, a brick addition contains a large and tine swimming pool: which, with billiard rooms, tennis court, golt links, and beautiful drives and walk; over the hills makes this one of the most delightful of the summer resort* of the continent. The connty of Bedford was establish ed in 1795, being taken from Cumber land and for a time included all west ern Pennsylvania: but the fort there was built and the town laid oft" many years before that. The visitor is shown a two-storv limestone house in Bedford used by President Washington in 1794 when became that fir West with the anpy sent to Pittsburg to suppress tin Whiskey Insurrection; and the firs! criminal docket oi thi' county or locali ty, yet well preserved in the L'lerk s or flee, records the fact that in 1782, a mar was whipped, pilloried and had his ears cut off for stealing horses; while in the Prcthonotary's ofiice is a deed bearing date of 1770, from an Indian chief whe had a long string of Dames, and whe signed Kith an attempted figure of i human face with 1 hat on it. Arthui St. Clair, afterwards General, was th< first Prothonotary of the county. We are under obligations to Mr. Had erman, of the Bedford Inquirer, foi courtesies while a visitor there, and tc Mr, Be mis manager of the Springs Ho tel and his courteous clerks for a pleas ant visit at Bediorii Hotel. THE steaaier Norga, from Gopenha gen to New York, carrying nearly 80< Swedes, Norwegians and Danes to thii country was wrecked on a rock oft tht coast of Scotland, July Ist, and Go< people perished.
