In fact it matters not with what political party you are affiliated, you .should be a Protectionist in one re spect. That is to say you should protect yourselves against loss by the destruction of your property by fire; and what is still more essential, protect your families against the loss of their support by the death of the person who produces that support— the husband the father. This latter protection can be obtained practical ly without expense, since it is pos sible, and in fact compulsory, for the life insurance company to safely in vest the funds paid into their hands, and, after a term of years, return same with profits to policy holders, if living, ou demand. This matter should command your seri ous attention. Delay is dangerous and expensive. You will therefore do well to consult the agent in regard to the merits of fhe Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company of Phila delphia, which is justly reputed to be the most conservative and the most economical as well as the most liberal and equitable in its dealings with policy holders. It is no experiment or adventure but by all odds the safest and best investment you can make, besides furnishing protection to your family. The Penn Mutual is already over .V! years old and has over 200,000,0(H) of insurance in force, several hun dred thousand dollars of which is in Sullivan county.

PHILADELPHIA, June 22,-Presl- Idcnt Mclviiiley wan unanimously renom inated for president of the United States by the Republican national convention nt 1:48 o'clock yesterday, and an hour and ten minutes later Governor Theodore Roosevelt of New York was unanimous ly selected to stand beside him in the coming battle. The scenes attending the selections were tumultuous. Such unanimous dem onstrations in honor of the nominees of tt national convention have never been equaled perhaps in the history of politics in this country. It was a love feast, a jubilee, n ratification meeting. A flutter of handkerchiefs filled the air, aud a cheer went up from the delegates in the pit as Senator Forakcr of Ohio, the ideal of militant Republicanism, WILLIAM M'KINLEY. strode toward the platform. Foraker is a grand looking man, with something of the imperiousness of Blaine and the dash of a Rupert about him. The air was surcharged with electricity as he mouuted the steps, aud when lie turned about, standing there with gray eyes calmly sweeping the cheering thousands, the magnetic orator must have been con scious of his power to call up a storm that would sweep through the amphithe ater. Below him, about liiiu ou either side, were banked men and women al most frantically waving hats, handker chiefs aud pampas plumes. In full view of the convention he stood erect. his face as inflexible as though chiseled in marble, waiting for the ap plause to cease. When quiet was re stored, he spoke in part as follows: "Mr. Chairman and Gciitlemcn of the Convention—Alabama yields to Ohio, aud I thank her, but Alabama has yielded by reason of a fact that would seem iiiiini portaut and superfluous, for she has yielded because our candidate has in fact already been nominated. He was named by Senator Wolcott in his able speech of Tuesday. He was nominated by Senator Lodge in his address of yesterday and by the seuatur from Indiana when he read the platform, and not only lias he been uomiuated by them, but by the whole American people. "From one end of our land to the othci but ouc man is thought ot' for the honor that we are here to confer, lie is the first choice of every man who wishes for Republican success next fall. So it is not necessary for me or any one else to speak for him. He has already spoken tor him self aud to all the world, lie lias a rec ord replete with brilliant achievements, one that speaks at once his promises for the future and one that is his highest eu logy. It constitutes an example of trium phant success iu the discharge of public duty. Four years ago we confided to him a most sacred trust. Behold what results! Our industries were prostrated. He quick ened them with a new life and brought to our country unprecedented prosperity. When everywhere in this great land labor was idle, today everywhere our laboring men have employment. When we chose him, he found the mills and the mines of this great country closed everywhere. To day they are open, ami while we are here deliberating we are sending their prod ucts fo every corner of the world iu n great commercial conquest, tender his guidance our national currency has becu placed above reproach. "In all the uation there is no man so fitted as the great leader who has con- j ducted national affairs in the last four trying years, "He has courage aud experience, lie has a stainless reputation and a blame- | less life that have endeared him to his j country and won him the love and re spect of.the whole people. He is au ideal man.tie is an ideal candidate.' cor ait these considerations, not alone in behalf #f Ohio, but in behalf of every state in the Union and of Republicans every where, I nominate Willikm McKinley." At the utterance of McKinley's name the audience began to cheer. The sight was a grand and Inspiring one. In the pit delegates and alternates were cheer ing enthusiastically. Over the ncres of spectators bedlam reigned. The hall was an angry sea of tossing color. Flags, red, white and blue plumes shot up as if by magic to crest the waves. Hats were lifted aloft on canes. Umbrellas were hoisted and twisted until they resembled dervishes. On the press platform the newspaper men, with watches out, were counting the minutes. Ou the stage Senator Han na, bis handkerchief in one hand, a fan la the other, was spurring the vast as semblage to new endeavors. The raging storm did not seem to satisfy him. He seized a plume and whirled it about his head like a general leading his men to the charge. All at once a delegate beffr hig the standard of Kentucky rushed for ward to the stage. The effect was mag ical. Standards of the states were torn loose, and yelling delegates climbed upon the platform to rally around their leader. With state guidons pointed to a com mon center they made a canopy over the bead of the Warwick of the Republican party. Ohio interlocked her staff with New York. Maine figuratively kissed bet hand to California, and Minnesota sa luted Texas. Then higher still climbed Ilauua. He mounted a table where lie could look out upon* the cheering multi tude. Beside him suddenly appeared a young girl arrayed iu the national colors. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. At this sight the cheers redoubled. The music of the orchestra was drowned iu the awful din. At 12:40 o'clock Chairman Lodge or dered a call of the roll of states for bal loting for president. The roll call was concluded at 12:30 o'clock. Hawaii casting the lust two votes for McKinley. A minute later Chairman Lodge an nouueed, "There have been cast 02f. votes, ail for William McKinley, aud I announce his unanimous nomination foi president for the term beginning March ■I, 1901." The band struck up "The Battle Cry of Freedom." the delegates joined in the chorus, and there was au outburst of ap plause. Then an immense imitation elephant walked majestically down the center aisle, causing much amusement. Order was soon restored, because ev ery one was eager for the nomination ot Roosevelt to begin. Chairman Lodge ap pealed for quiet. lie said it would be impossible togo on without order iu the galleries. He called the attention of the delegates to the fact that there was much work for the convention to do aflei the nominations were completed. As the name of Alabama was ealled on the roll of states for the nomination ot candidates for vice president the an nouncement was made by the chairman of the delegation that Alabama would yield to lowa to present a candidate. Chairman Lodge then recognized Colo nel Lafe Young, one of the lowa dele gates at large. Robust aud vigorous iu his physique and in his mentality, Colo nel Young swung down the main aisle to the platform to do that which a single orator never before did in a Republican national convention—withdraw one strong and magnetic man as a candidate aud present the name of another for the sec ond office in the gilt of the American people, lie withdrew the name of Dolli ver and offered that of Itooscvclt. Colonel Young was iu Cuba at the time Roosevelt led li!i> gallant rough riders up San .Titan hill, and his reference to the governor's campaign was eloquent and touching. The demonstration which followed the announcement by Colonel Young of Gov ernor Roosevelt as the candidate of the young men of the country, who repre sented their desires and their ambitions and embodied their patriotism and Amer icanism. was not second to that accorded the president's name. When quiet was restored, the chair recognized Mr. Murray of Massachusetts to second the nomination. The names of other eandidates for viet-. president were withdrawn, and the roll of states was called. At (fie conclusion of the call Chairman Lodge auiiouuced that Governor Roosevelt had received 11211 votes, one delegate ill the convention not voting. This delegate was Governoi Roosevelt himself, who refrained from voting with the New York delegation. Resolutions of ilianks to Mr. Lodge aud to Mr. Wolcott for their able serv ices as presiding officers were unani mously adopted: also tliauks to Mayor Ashbridge ol' Philadelphia for the hospi tality of the city and to all officials of the convention. This closed the work, and 1.25 p er. . on motion ot fjereno t,. rayue ot iSew York tbe Republican national convention of 1900 adjourned sine die. The national committee met after the convention and re-elected M. A. Hanna chairman of that committee. Bloody Work of a Maniac. CEDAtt RAPIDS, la., June 25.- Charles Mefford, 27 years old, became in sane Saturday night and escaped from his home. Yesterday he plunged through n window ut the home of James Fitz slmmons and, armed with an ax, split open Fitzsiminous' head and seriously in jured Mrs. Fitzsimmons and her daugh ter Kate. Joseph Drake, a ueighbor, who came to their assistance, wus struck over the bead three times and probably fatally injured. Mefford then fled. Aft er running several blocks he fired a bullet through his left breast below the heart and as the police came upon him sat down on the curb and put a second bul let through his head, dropping dead. Glacier Deatroyol hy Earthquake. SEATTLE, Wash., June 22.—Captain Hecknan of the steamer Queen, just in from Alaska, says that the earthquake in Alaska last October completely destroyed the sea end of the Muir glacier.

June 23.—Fire in one of the principal down town business blocks -yesterday caused a loss of $250.- 000, involving eight buildings containing many office tenants.

CHICAGO, June 2«.—The Times-Her ald today says that Governor Theodore Hoosevelt will leave New York city next Friday for Chicago, arriving in this city Saturday and leaving the same night for Oklahoma City, where be will attend the reunion of his old regiment, the Rough Riders. lie will not come west as the lie publican vice presidential candidate, but as a private citizen, glad to meet bis sol dier comrades again and be welcomed by them. On arriving in Chicago he will In - come the guest of l'aul Morton, second vice president of the Santa Fe road, in whose private car be will make the jour ney to Oklahoma. A year ago when Governor Roosevelt attended the Rough Riders' reunion at Las Vegas Mr. Morton placed bis pri vate car at his service, und the same was accepted. On the homeward journey from Las Vegas Mr. Morton proffered the car for use again this year, and the governor accepted the tender. His presence in t'lii cago is therefore iu keeping with his promise given iu June, Mr. Morton saiil yesterday: "I have a telegram from Governor Roosevelt, in which he says that he certainly going to Oklahoma City, but de sires it thoroughly understood that he is not making u political trip and that any speechmaking demanded of him will be responded to only in tbe character of a private citizen. I presume he does not propose to talk politics until he has been officially notified of bis nomination for the vice presidency. We shall leave here some time Saturday for Oklahoma City, where the Rough Riders will be the en tertainers." Circeiie Will Succeed ((iilkk. NEW YORK, June 20.-The Repub lican county committee at its special meeting on July will elect General Francis Vinton Greene to tbe presidency made vacant by the resignation of Lemu el Ely Quigg.
