TAKKN TO CONVENTION SO
THAT UK WILL NOT UK NAMED
BY TIIK DEMOCRATS.
New York, Sept. 2S. Mayor Gnynor
wllf not bo tho Democratic candidate
for governor. All doubt on tlic sub
ject Is removed In n letter written by
the mnyor to James Creelnian. Mayor
Gaynor says that If he Is nominated
by the Democratic state convention In
Rochester he will decline to accept the
nomination. The letter follows:
"1 am this day writing a letter to
Chairman Dlx stating that I am not a
candidate for nomination for governor
and refuse to become such. I do this
to remove all doubt on the subject
which may have arisen by reason of
irresponsible statements which I am
Informed are being circulated. No ut
terance of mine has put tho matter In
doubt.
"Some have said to mo thnt tho
convention may nominate me although
I am not a candidate. It seems to me
that It might npM?nr vain or egotistical
for me to assume In my letter to Mr.
Dlx that that extraordinary thing
might happen.
"I therefore write this supplemental
letter to" you to take to Rochester and
show there so as to prevent my nomi
nation If It should apiar to bo Immi
nent. Make It plain that If nominated
I would decline to accept
"1 could not abandon to their fate
the splendid men whom I have ap
lolnted to olilco and who are working
so hard for good government, nor
could I abandon the people of the city
of New York after so short a service.
"You may make this letter public" In
advance of going to Rochester If In
your Judgment you think tho situation
calls for it. But do not do so unless
It be plainly necessary. Every honest
man will understand me."
Up State Men Disappointed.
Rochester, N. Y., Sept 28. Mayor
Gaynor's turndown of tho governor
ship nomination, which would have
been bis but for his posltlye refusal to
run, was received with mingled grati
fication and disappointment by the
Democratic leaders and delegates as
sembled here. The disappointment Is
principally among tho up state Demo
crats, who outside of the personal fol
lowers of Representative James S.
Havens of this city nnd of Thomas
M. Osborne of Auburn were almost
unanimous In their demand for Gay
nor. Charles F. Murphy was asked:
"Do you think the convention will
find as strong a man to nominate for
governor?"
Tho Tammany leader hesitated for a
moment. "We have a number of
Htrong candidates," he said.. "One of
them will be nominated and elected."
"Now thnt Mayor Gaynor is elimi
nated from consideration have you any
preference among the candidates who
are in the field V
"No. Tammany will support tho
man that the up state delegations
want nominated."
"There Is talk of Tammany throw
lug Its vote to Edward M. Shepard of
Brooklyn."
"Tammany hnsn't any candidate,"
Murphy repeated.
"Would It support William Sulzcr
for tho nomination ?"
"If the up state Democrats favor
Sulzer, Tammany will support him."

Wayne County Should be Well Rcp
resented. There Is an institution of the state
that has been established exclusively
for the public, and for the benefit
of every citizen In the commonwealth.
It Is the State Museum at Harris

made of every kind of mineral, ani
mal, bird, insect, flower, specimen
of tree, and historical relic from each
county of the state.
Wayne county should be well rep

laying a foundation invaluable for
future years. The purpose of the
various divisions of the museum is
as follows:

Division of Geology,
Since Pennsylvania is rich in min

the people of the comnTbnwealth one

Either tho state or historical society
of each county, should see that these

bronze tablet on a boulder, so that
they may not be lost to posterity.
There are many persons in Wayne
county having relics pertaining to
Pennsylvania, which they wish to pre

lining place to preserve and display
these to the public than at the State
Museum at Harrlsburg, where they
will be well cared for and displayed.
Tho Museum will bo glad to receive
any such material, either permanent
ly or as a loan, in the following sub

gy, archaeology, arts and history.
These should be well labeled, with
the name of the specimen, location or
any brief historical incident con
nected with It, and the name and
address of the donor should also ac
company It. Address State Museum,

GHIM AND BERRY
Have been requested to get out and
help nominate a new ticket. A very
strong petition signed by a large
number of the most prominent busi
ness men of Philadelphia and eastern
Pennsylvania has been sent to can
didates Grim and Berry beseeching
thorn to step down and out In order
that all who desire to unite In down
ing the Republican ticket can unite
on some strong candidate. A cnnvnss
of many of the counties show that
Berry will receive a mere nominal
vote and most of whom are Demo
cratic. The northeastern counties of
tho state show larger number of
Berry supporters than in any other
section, but Ills strength has been
to boost Klpp s canvass.

ENGINE ON HONESDALE TRAIN
ON ERIE ROAD BREAKS DOWN
IN YARD AT PORT .IERVIS AC
CIDENT NARROWLY AVERTED
TRAIN DELAYED ONLY 10
.MINUTES.
The Erie train which leaves Hones
dale at S.25 a. m. and Is called the
Honesdale and New Y'ork Express,
met with nn accident at Port Jervis
Tuesday morning which came near
being a serious wreck. While run
ning through the Port Jervis yard
opposite yard "B," engine 3G3, in
chnrgo of engineer Michael Fritz and
Fireman Wlckhnm Bross, was haul
ing the train when tho main pin on
the left front driver broke dropping
tho connecting rods and side rods to
the track. The hack end of tho
cylinder wns blown out and the rods
trailing over the track for a distance
of about 300 feet tore up the ties
nnd caused the wheels of tho for
ward truck on the tender to Jump
the track.
Engineer Fritz, as soon as ho dis
covered there was something wrong,
applied tho airbrakes and brought
tho train to a stop. Help was sum
moned at once by telephone to the
round house and within a few min
utes tho wrecking crew, in charge of
Foreman Edward Rutan, was on the
ground. The crippled engine was
soon placed on the track and brought
down to tho shops for repairs.
In the meantime switch engine
2504, which was' sent to the aid of
the delayed train, had hauled It
back to WX tower and pushed It
down the westbound track to the de
pot, causing a delay of only 40 min
utes on the schedule.
Besides the damages above named
both journal boxes on the forward
truck of the tender were broken.
Fortunately the accident occurred
In the yards near the Delaware divi
sion terminals with plenty of help
from the motive power and mechani
cal departments, and in case it had
taken place on some of the sharp
curves along the river valley the re
sults might have been of a far dif
ferent and more serious nature.
Engine 926 took the Honesdale
train out for the noon trip.
New York, Sept. 2S. Tho Rev.
Charles II. Parkhurst has registered
his determination, though a Ropub-
llcan by heredity and the practice of a
lifetime, to vote the Democratic ticket
ut tho next national election nnd de
clared that he hoped to see Mayor
Gaynor nominated on the Democratic
ticket for governor and to seo him
elected.
"I was born nnd brought up to be n
Republican," said Dr. Parkhurst, who
has for some time been writing for a
publication violently opposed to Mayor
Gnynor, "but I hopo that I am a pa
triot more than n partisan."
MILK INFECTION IN THE HOME.
Health Commissioner Dixon Tells
How It Often Takes Place.
"As tho puro milk question Is be
ing agitated along tho lines of pro
duction, transportation nnd handling
by dealers," said Dr. Samuol G.
Dixon, stnto health commissioner,
one day last week. "It may bo woll
enough to call attention to tho ways
In which milk for babies Is mado
unfit for food after It has been de
livered to tho consumer.
"Tho mother or nurse often koops
milk in nu open vessol in n hot
placo, exposed to dust, flics and oth
er Insect life. Not Infrequently tho
Infant is fed through a long, small,
dirty rubbor tube.
"Another way in which tho baby's
food may bo rendored bad Is by tho
mothor or nurso first testing its tem-
peraturo or sweotnoss by placing It
to hor own lips uororo reeding tno
Infant.
"Thero la nnothor hnblt that

ADMINISTRATION.
Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 23. Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt was elected tem
porary chairman of the Republican
state convention by a rote of 50S to
44!! a majority of 12.". There were
three votes shy In the ballot. Colonel
Roosevelt did not vote. Sherman vot
ed for John Doe nnd Gilchrist Stew
art of the Thirteenth district, New
York, refused to vote.
Though the result was n foregone
conclusion when tho convention as
sembled It turned out that the contest
was nip nnd tuck up till the moment
that the last county registered Its vote.
Before the New York delegates wero
reached the roll call stood 2.15 for
Sherman and 2."!1 for Roosevelt. Thou
New York voted with 172 for Roose
velt, giving Sherman only 1(5. This
left the total up to that point as Roose
velt 400 to Sherman 351. Schenectady
county, one of tho Inst to put in Its
vote, owing to Its alphabetical posi
tion on the list, fell into line for
Roosevelt, and it was the eleven votes
thnt this county gave him which de
cided the result.
Colonel Roosevelt wns escorted to
the platform by James S. Sherman nnd
Cornelius V. Collins of Troy, superln
tendent of prisons.
After Roosevelt finished his speech
the rules of tho nssembly wero ndopt
ed, with a proviso that any committee
may bring in n minority report. This
opens tho door for the old guard's
fight against tho direct primaries
plank In the platform.
It was the wildest and most turbu
lent Republican state convention in
the memory of the graybeards of tho
party.
Rockets and plnwheels of oratory
and abuse began to whiz nnd sputter
as soon as tho convention opened.
Vice President Sherman wns named
for temporary chairman by Mr. Wood
ruff. This opened the row, which wns
continued for four hours. When the
vote was ordered Chairman Woodruff
decided that tho name of each dele
gate be called. As there were 1,015
delegates tho roll call was a long but
not tedious affair.
During tho tiring of the oratorical
rockets Abo G ruber of New York al
most broke up tlie convention by tak
ing tho platform nnd delivering a bit
ter attack upon Colonel Roosevelt,
speaking for tho old guard.
There was no mark of approval for
Roosevelt's keynote speech until he
finished n detailed commendation of
the work done by President Tuft. He
provoked another outburst when ho
praised Governor Hughes' administra
tion. His emphatic declaration that
"we have turned our own rascals out"
was greeted with cheers.
Looking directly toward the section
where those sat who had assailed him,
Mr. Roosevelt, disregarding his manu
script speech, thundered out:
"It has been said on the platform
here today that there is no party
which makes a profession of dishon
esty. No, but there are plenty of per
sons who make n practice of dishon
esty. "Tho question Is asked, 'What Is the
difference between n leader and a
, boss?' I'll tell you. The difference Is
that the leader leads nnd the boss
drives.
Roosevelt In ills keynote speech said:
"Wo come here feeling that we havo
tlie right to appeal to the people from
the standpoint alike of national and
state achievement. During the lust
eighteen months u long list of laws
embodying legislation most heartily to
be commended as combining wisdom
with progress havo been enacted by
congress and approved by President
Tuft.
"Turning from the nation to tho
state, wo find that during the term of
service of Governor Hughes an ex
traordinary amount of wlso nnd good
legislation In tho Interest of all tho
people has been put upon tho statute
books.
"Of course, with a party as long tu
control of nation and state as ours has
been, there have been Individual In
stances of mlscouduct nnd corruption
But thero Is no need of any other
party raising tho cry of 'Turn the
rascals out, for wo havo turned our
own rascals out, and wherever rascal
ity Is found to exist In the futuro wo
will bo eveu more prompt to punish
nny ono of our own party adherents
than an adherent of another party.
"Tho corporation must be protected,
must bo given its rights, but It must
be prevented from doing wrong, nnd
its mnuagers must bo held in strict
accountability when It does wrong,
nud It must bo deprived of all secret
Inlluenco in our public life. Wo must
strivo to do away with tho social and
economic injustlco that havo como
