PHILADELPHIA, June 8. Interest was
iddod to iue Senatorial situation today
idien It was announced by H. C. Frick, o
Pittsburg, who arrived In tho city today,
that he is here in the Interest of United
States Attorney-General P. C. Knox.
Senator Fllnn, when seen regarding air.
Knox's candidacy, admitted he had met
Mr. Frick during the day, and that the
latter asked that Mr. Knox be considered
a candidate. Mr. FJlnn further added that
tnother meeting would be held tomorrow,
&t which, with Senator Penrose and Mr.
Durham, the Attorney-General's name
would be taken up.

minous coal-producing concerns in the

Elkin. of Indiana County, who Is the
party nominee for Justice of the State
Supreme Court, and "Richard R. Quay, a

half hour, and after the conference was
over. Senator Penrose refused to talk.

BECKHAM IN THE SADDLE.
Blackburn Speaks In Vain Agalnat
Alleged Machine Rule in Kentucky.
LOUISVILLE. Ky.. Juno 8. What
promises to be a bitter contest for con
trol of the state organization came tip
in the Democratic State Convention hero
today. The result of the first struggle,
the election of a temporary chairman,
was a decisive victory for the admlnls
tratlon forces, led by Governor Becknam.
Governor Beckham was elected to the
temporary chairman by a vote of 817 to
822 over John Peake, of Selby County.
The fight against the administration
was led by Senator -Blackburn, assisted
by Senator McCreary and Congressman
D. H. Smith.
When the convention opened State
Chairman Alec Young made a long
speech in which ho attacked the metnods
of the administration. At the close of
Chairman Young's speech, Congressman
Ollle James placed Governor Beckham in
nomination for temporary chairman.
Senator Blackburn nominated Judge
Peake. Senator Blackburn made a re
markable speech. Ho asserted that the
Democratic party In Kentucky was fall
ing into the grasp of a machine and out
of tne control of the voters. He de
clared that he and his associates would
contest the efforts of the administration
men to elect Lewis McQueen chairman
of the State Central Committee. Pass
ing to National affairs, he spoke in favor
of an uninstructed delegation. His
statements In this respect met the ap
proval of tho convention, but subsequent
reference to Parker and McClellan as
avallablo candidates for the Presidency
provoked only moderato enthusiasm.
Concerning Mr. Bryan, the Senator an
nounced his firm belief In the Nebraska
statesman's purity of motive, and that
the report that Mr. Bryan would bolt the
St. Louts convention. If the candidate
or platform should prov8 unsatisfactory,
was an Infamous falsehood.
The overwhelming vote for Governor
Beckham for temporary chairman put
his adherents In the full control of the
temporary organization.
Governor Beckham, in his speech ac
ccptlng the temporary chairmanship, an'
nounccd that the full control of the party
was not of his seeking. He denied Sen
ator Blackburn's assertion that a ma
chine and net tho voters controlled the
party.
The work of organizing tho convention
was rapidly proceeded with and the tem
porary organization has been completed.
The convention took a recess until 8:30
o'clock.
Tho district meetings in each of the
11 districts were held for the purpose of
naming delegates to the National Con
vention. Only one district the Fifth
declared for Parker. Of the 20 delegates
named at tho other ten district meet
ings, three aro regarded as possible
Hearst men, six aro for Parker and 11
declined to express a preference.
There was a ppirlted debate in tho com
mlttee on resolutions over tho platform.
Jive or tne members of tho committee de
mandlng the reaffirmation of the Kansas
City platform. In order to prevent a con
test on the floor of the convention, a com
promise was effected by adopting the fol
lowing opening clause:
"The Democratic party of Kentucky, in
convention assembled, affirms Its faith In
and adherence to tho great and funda
mental principles of Democracy as ex-
pounded by Jefferson, exemplified by Jack
son, and ably defended by Bryan."
The course of Governor Durbln. of In
diana in refusing' to surrender, on requl
sltion from the Governor of Kentucky tho
persons of William Taylor and Charles
Flnley. fugitives from justice, charged
with the murder of William Goebel." Is
denounced as a violation of tho constitu
tion.
At tho night session the majority report
of tho committee on organization was
adopted, carrying -with it the election of
McQueen as chairman of the State Cen
tral Committee, and Senators Blackburn
and McCreary, Governor Beckham and
Congressman James as delegates-at-large.
Tho adoption of tho report of tho com
mittee on resolutions was followed by a
heated wrangle over a resolution indors
inc Judsro Alton B. Parker, for President.
introduced by Congressman Sherley, of
Louisville. The convention, by a vote of
nearly three to one, declined to consider
the resolution, all the delegates from the
country districts voting not to suspend
th rules to consider it.
The resolutions adopted call for an unln-
Ward to get his confirmation of a state
ment that had been made concerning
him by a fellow-townsman foun'd that
stalwart carpenter engaged in putting
a new window frame in an old house.
In response to an inquiry the robust
workman dropped nimbly to a seat on
the window bench, and said:
Yes, I owe my recovery to Dr. Will-
lams' Pink Pills, and I am always glad
to tell the story for the sake of others.
In fact, I think there are only two
kinds of medicine worth buying at
least only two kinds that ever did me
any good and one of them is Dr. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People.
"You see. it was this wav: I was at
my work in 1892, when I felt as If I had
been struck on the head by a sudden
blow. My heart seemed to stop, and
the doctor said it missed every other
beat I went through the battle of
Richmond, Ky.v but I never had been
through anything like this before. I
thought surely I was going to pass In
my checks this time.
"After that I had very trying dizzy
spells. I had to give up work altogether
and spend every other day in bed. For
two months I did not leave the house.
I could not concentrate my eyes on any
object; I was in a state of extreme ner
vousness all the time. I would He
awake at night from 9 o'clock until day
light. My circulation was bad and my
feet always cold. The doctor admitted
that his medicine was not doing me a
bit of good.
Then I decided to try 'Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills, about which I had read in
an advertisement After three or four
days' use I realized that they were
helping me. I began to take them in
January, 1893. By the middle of Feb-
raary I was out, and in March I re
sumed work as usual. I sleep without
difficulty, my dizziness has never re
turned, and my feet are always warm
when they should be. You may say
that I think Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
can't be beat for nervousness and diffi
culties of the blood." They are sold by
all druggists throughout the world.

B Fortune smiles again upon our patrons with her kindliest beam of the entire year. We
closed a fortunate purchase, embracing the entire stock of Tailored and Ready-to-Wear Hats remaining in the salesroom of a prominent
manufacturer, at a small fraction of their worth, as he is ready for Fall operations. Unfortunate circumstances delayed their delivery to
us until now. We could conscientiously refuse them, but a further concession from the makers was too strong a temptation to resist, for
it enables us to distribute among our patrons such values as even this store never gave before in the history of millinery selling;
A word .of the Hats: They are every one the very newest and latest of the advance Summer styles. Tho immense purchase embraces
French Sailors, Turbans, Continentals, etc., in all the season's most popular colors, which include champagnes, white, navys, browns, reds
and black. Hats that become every face, equally charming and stylish on miss or matron. A superabundance of styles in the vast choos

not one but would bring twice to four times Friday's price. Not a hat that could be sold under $2 and bring back the money it cost. Most
of them are grand values at $3.00, $3.50 and $4.00.
