The populist national cou vention adjourned at 4 P, M., after lymrijf eqdiirseii' Bryari for president, regardless of his refusal to accept. ' . ' ST. LOUIS, July 24. Last night's session of the populUt convention was carried far Into the ntgl.t. The Bryan supporters are jubilant, as they demonstrated, after a division of tbe convention, that they had a majority of 194. They perfected their perma nent organization, installed their can didato, Senator Allen of Nebraska, as permanent chairman, and took charge of the machinery of the convention. The announcement of Allen's elec tion was a signal for an uproarious Bryan demonstration, which lasted 18 minutes. Senator Allen's speech t-s permanent chairman occupied oyer an hour. In many respects it was bitter enough to suit the most radical. When he had finished the convention ad journed. The populist convention was called to order this morning at 10:05 o'clock, with most of the delegates in their seats. An Ohio delegate presented tbe con vention with a gavel composed of 60 pieces, 43 different kinds of wood, rep resenting each state and territory. .The committee on rules and order of business presented majority and minor ity reports.' The minority report rec ommends that the nomination forvice president be made prior to that of president. "Gerry Brown of" Massachusetts, author of the minority report provid ing for priority vote for vice-president, moved the adoption of the report. -A roll call of the states was taken to decide whether the president or vice president be voted upon first, and the minority report nominating the vice' president firs4 was adopted by a small majority. Tne official vote was 783 to 615. : , General Weaver, tbe chairman of the committee an platform and resolu T tions, teifea!nevyowaMia1Sirffaif' reading the platform. He was greeted with enthusiastic cheering. The platform is long. It denounces the gold power and demands that national money, issued by tbe government only, shall be fml legal tender for all debts public and privatfl. . It . demands the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. It demands that no bonds be issued except by act of con gress, and that the election of presi dent, vice-president and United States senators be by direct vote of the people. The platform demands the recognition of Cuba as an independent nation; favors direct legislation by the initiative and referendum - system; recognizes that finanoial reform is the paramount- question and invites all people to co-operate with them to that end. . . 1 ., General Coxey offered a minority re port. A portion of it was read. It was fashioned after tbe declaration of independence, and created laughter among the delegates. The majority report on platform was adopted and the chair declared nomi nations for vice-president in order.' . ST. Louis, July 25. Shortly before 1. A. M. tbe convention adjourned after having nominated Thomas F. Watson, of Georgia, for vice-president. There were five other candidates- Sewell, Magee, of Virginia, Mimms, of Tennessee, Congressman Skinner, of North Carolina, and Colonel Burkett, of Missouri. - -- . ..: The nomination was made unani mous before the result of the roll-call was announced. Bryan sent word! to his supporters that he would ootaoctpt a nomination at the bands of the convention under these circumstances," -'He .will -stand loyally by his running mate. THE? ENDORSE. EVERYTHING. . Th SUvar Men Endorse Bryan, Bewail and the Democratic Flatforra. ST. Louis, July 24. The' silver con vention was called to order at 10:46 this morning. A poll of the former polit ical affiliations of the delegates to this convention gives the following results: Republicans, 526, democrats, 135, popu lists, 47, prohibition, 9,' greenback, 1, independent, 13. ' Senator Stewart, of 'Nevada, was called upon to address the convention- Hls remarks were directed against the gold bugs and money sharks of Wall street and the bondholders of the East ern states and England. . His reference to Bryan was greeted' with' loud and prolonged cheers. " ' ' A roll call was ordered to show the number of United States veterans in each delegation. ' The roll call showed ' 198 union soldiers, 18 confederate sol diers and four Mexican veterans in the convention. A motion to proceed with the nomi nation of a president was carried. ' Considerable' time was taken up by the delegates in five-minute speeches. Congressman Towne, of Minnesota, said the nomination of Bryan by; this convention would bring to the silver standard the patriotic and loyal sup port of all the friends of silver a sup port that could not. be controlled by any other candidate. . He moved that Bryan be nominated by acclamation. The motion was carried amid tumult uous applause. Tbe delegates stood on their ohairs waving flag and banners. while tbe bands played national airs. Mr,.Troops of Connecticut, presented the name of SewaU for vice-president and this called forth another demon stration. " Amotion was made that Sewall be nominated by acclamation, and it was carried with a rush. A motion was made and carried that this convention, after adjournment go in a body to the people's party con vention and notify them of the action taken by this convention. Tbe platform adoptjd says: "Inas much as the patriotic majority' of the Chicago convention embodied in the financial - plank of its platform the principles enunciated by the American bimetalic party, promulgated at Wash' ington, D. C, January 22, 1898, and herein reiterated, which is not only the paramount but the only real issue in the pending campaign, therefore recotrnlzing that their nominees e!' ooay these patriotic, principles, we recommend that this convention nomi nate W. Ji Bnan of Nebraska," for president and Arthur Sewall of Maine for vice president." PLENTY OF ORATORS. Numerous Populists Will Mlver. Stamp for St. Louis, July 27.

Dnbs, Robert Schilling, of Mil waukee; Senator Allen, of Nebraska; Senator Peffer; Mre. Roberts, of Geor gia, and many others, including Coxey and Carl Brown. Mr. Dobs is a strong supporter of the initiative and referendum. The currency will be the pivot around which the majority of the speeches will revolve, and the women that will be sent out will make that their especial point of attack. Mrs. Roberts made a speech in the convention seconding (he nomination of Bryan, and, in the five minutes that she was before the convention, won for herself the reputation of being one of the most forcible and logical speak ers that has ever addressed a populist gathering. "Cyclone" Davis wu discussing the outcome of the convention with a party of friends in the Lindell corridors yes terday. He said: There were a thousand men in that convention who differed with me, and there could have been but one result the selection of Bryan. It was a case of either making them believe they were wrong and myself and my little band of 250 were right, or give up. We had to gi ve up, of course. We were not all statesmen, and the thousand on the Other side were neither fools 'nor trai tors. ' We concluded they were right." Catarrh Cored.

All th Well-Known Prlnclplra of th Party, aa Enunciated In the Omaha Platform, Are Seaffirmed and Beadopted FINANCE. First We demand a national monev, safe and sound, issued by the general government only, without the inter vention of banks of issue, to be a full legal tender for ail debts, public and private; a just, equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to the people and through the lawful dis bursements of tbe government. Second We demand the free ana unrestricted coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, and without waiting for the conaent of foreign nations. Third We demand that the volume of circulating medium be speedily in- reased to an amount sufficient to meet the demands of tbe business and the population of this country, and to restore the just level of prices ana labor production. Fourth We denounce the sale of bonds and the Increase of the public interest-bearing debt, made by the present administration, as unneces sary and without authority of law, and we demand that no more bonds be issued except by specific action of con gress. Fifth We demand such legislation will prevent the demonetizing of the lawful money of the United States by private contract. ' Sixth We demand that the govern ment, in payment of its obligations, shall use its option as to the kind of lawful money In which they are to be paid, and we denounce the present and preceding administrations for surren dering this option to the holders of government obligation securities. ;. Seventh We demand a graduated income tax, to the end that aggregate wealth shall bear its just proportion of taxation, and we regard the recent de cision of the supreme court, relative to the income-tax law, as a misinterpre tation of the constitution, an invasion of the rightful powers of congress on the subjeotof taxation. ' . Eighth We demand . that postal savings banks be established : by the government for the safe deposit of the savings of the people and to facilitate ixohange.-- ;. .:-. t . TRANSPORTATION. First Transportation belngameans of exchange and apublioneceuelty,1 the government should own and operate the railroads in tbe interest of the people on a nonpartisan basis, to. the end that all may be accorded the same treatment In transportation, and that the tyranny of political. . power, now exercised by tbe great railroad cor porations, which result in the impair ment, if not the destruction of the political rights ' and personal liberty of the citizen may be destroyed. ' Such ownership is to be accomplished grad ually in a manner consistent with sound public policy. Second Tbe interest of the United States in the public highways built with public moneys' and the proceeds of extensive grants of land to the Pacifio railroads should never have been alienated, mortgaged or sold, but guarded and protected for the general welfare as provided by the laws organ izing such railroads. The foreclosure of existing liens of the United States on these roads should at once follow default in the payment thereof by the debtor companies, and at the foreclos ure sales of said roads the government should purchase the same, it it becomes necessary to protect its interests, or if they can be purchased at a reasonable price, and the government shall oper ate said railroads as public highways for the benefit of the whole people, and not in the interest of the few, under suitable provisions for protection of life and 'property, giving to all the transportation interests equal privi leges and equal .rates for fares and freights.. .. . Third -We denounce tbe present in famous schemes for refunding the said debts, and demand that the laws now applicable thereto be executed and ad ministered ' according to their true intent and spirit. - J ' ' Fourth Tbe telegraph, like the post office system, being a necessity for the transaction of news, should be owned and operated by the government in tbe interest of the people. - ; LAND.. - First The true polloy demands that tbe national and state legislation shall be such as will ultimately enable every prudent , and industrious citizen to secure a borne, and therefore the land should not be monopolized for specula tive purposes. ' All lands now beld by railways and other corporations in ex cess of their actual needs should, by lawful means, be reclaimed by the gov ernment and held for actual settlers only, and private land, monopoly, as well aa alien ownership, should be prohibited. - - ; 8econd We condemn the frauds by which the land grants to Pacific rail road companies have, through the con nivance of tbe interior department, robbed multitudes of bona fide settlers of their homes and miners of their claims, and we demand legislation by congress which will enforce the ex emption of mineral . land from such grants after, as well as before, patent ing . Third We demand that bona-fide settlers on all public lands be granted free homes, a provided in the national homestead law, and that no exception be made in tbe case of Indian reserva tions when opened for settlement, and that all lands not now patented oome under this demand. Highest of all in Leavening ABSOLUTELY PUKE DIRECT LEGISLATION. J We favor a system of direct legllo- tton through the initiative and refer-! endum, under proper constitutional safeguard. , GENERAL PROPOSITIONS. First We demand the eleotlon of president., vice-president and United States senators by direct vote of the people. Second We tender to the patriotic people of Cuba our deepest sympathy in their struggle for political freedom and independence, and we believe the time has come when the United 3tates, the great republic of the world, should recognize that Cuba is, and of right ought to be, a free and independent state. inira we favor borne rule in the territories aud the District of Colum bla, and the parly admission of the ter ritories as states. Fourth All puhlicsalarie$ should tx made to correspond to the price ol labor and its products.. Fifth In times of great industrla' depression, idle labor should be em ployed on public work as far as prac ticable. Sixth The arbitrary course of th court in assuming to imprison citizens for indirect con temp and ruling tbem by injunction should be prevented by prrper lcgislatlou, Seventh We favor jut pensions for every disable Union soldier. Eighth Believing that the election irancnise and untrammeled ballot are essential to a government of, for and by tbe people, tbe people's party con demns the wholesale system of disfran chisement adopted In some of tbe states as unrepubllcan and undemocratic and we declare it to be the duty of the several state legislatures to take such action as will secure a full and free and fair ballot and an honost count Ninth While the foregoing propo sltions constitute the platform which our -party stands upon and for the vin dlcation of its organization ' will be maintained, we recognize that the greatV and pressing Issue of the pend log campaign upon whicb the presiden tial election will turn, is the financial question, and upon this great and spe cific issue between tbe parties we cor dially invite the aid and co-operation Vol all organizations and citizens agree' ing with us upon . this.. vital question - - . SILVER FAKTY's)- PLAAS. Will Notify Bryan and Sewall la Baltimore of Their Nomination. ; New York, July 27. W. P. St. John, treasure of the national silver party, returned today from the fit. Louis convention. He said: "The national silver party has accep ted an invitation from Baltimore mer chants to notify Messrs. Bryan and Sewall, in the city of Baltimore. The notification will be made about 14 days after the democratic notification in New York. Tbe place of headquarters will be determined by Senator Jones, chairman of the democratic national committee. It looks now as though we would select Washington. ; What' ever he does will be followed by the silver party. "In state and municipal affairs the national silver party will not move. This will leave the republicans to vote their own state ticket, but the national silver party will have a congressional candidate in every district where the democratic nominee favors the gold standard."

Where Would Ball Dropped :Inta . It Come to a Btopf ' "W. JL J.,7 residing at Jilchinond, Mo., sends the fdlloMny peculiar query to the editcr of the St Louis EcrubUd, and asks fcr en uncwer tottn . . If it wore possiblo to drill -a bole of a foot or mora la dia motor entirely through tho earth and ttion to start a boll wclghinj ono hundred pound or mora to falling through ths tame at what point would It stop?". ' 1 ' - . Answer: Weight,-in the eensw -that "W. J. M." rcfora to it, is the moaauxe . of attraction of gravitation; or, la other words, it ta the measure of .foroe with which a body ia attracted by the earth. .This attractive. forco docroasee both ways from the surface of the earth, both outward : into ' spoon . or downward toward tho globe' supposed molten center. In partial explanation of this assertion I will say that any given size bulk of iron, or-, any .other mineral or . material whatever, will weigh less on tho top of a high moun tain than it will at sea level. - Iaxn-der to be exact In this matter I will say that a mass of one thousand pound weight will lose exactly two fjouada between tidewater and the top., of a mountain four miles high. , This, , it i plain to be seen, is because the force of the earth' attraction is much1 less ' on the mountain top than it is at th sea levoL. v . ?. t ; I fu Therefore, if a ball be started on the journey outlined in the query aeat in by. ,our CIchmond friend, it weight would doBrea&e to a certain extent with every yard of its flight (or ' fall), until, finally, upon reaching the centor of the earth. It would have ' no appreciable weight the attraction, at . that point acting equally in every direction. ;Thi being true, it is plain that the - phe nomenon of what wo know a "weight' would be entirely ' wanting, and th ball would be held ' in suspensidn a -though immovably - transfixed by nunv eraus magnetic .or invisible point MARRIAGE , -FOR .YOUNQ MEN. dually the Only Thing That Will aUka ' htan Save atoaey.' -This is a true atory, and one that will apply to many Other, young men besides this particular one. . It. is a great pity that this Is true, says the Pittsburgh Commcrical Gazette, but so it is. ' ' - . A prosperous business man who em ploys quite a number ot clerks said re cently that be had been led to the con clusion .that the young man who saved aud La vested his earnluirs la an ex ception to the rulo. Lie was surprised to find this to bo true. ' The facts ctud out when be berron reduottig his wak ing forcer r.s business tell off. 'JILo U-st to be tliopjicJ were Uto'-e who uiui , no famL?v depowt'ing upon thorn. Then it. was, that tUey""Would oonfoas they hadn't saved a dollar, and . had no means whatever upon which to live. This same man also observed that the married men nearly all had saved ftuncthir., - notwithstanding thoir iu ics were no larpcr, ar.il in some cases leas, than those drawn by tingle men: , By quizzing these young bachelors he found that riotous living . was the principal cause of "their" poverty. Some- ft them gambled on the quiet, and ctht-n just naturally let it no right aud left as long aa there was any to go. Irom this he concluded that mar- . rlage la a very good thiug for a young man, provided he marrioa a sensible. prac be vl sort of a woman. ' II ereafter he'r)ro;oses to give married men the preference because, in so doing, he will be helping . those , who are willing to help themselves. - ...... BUILDING A HOUSE IN BERMUDA The Walls and the.

' Thus whea the cellar la dng th house may be ready; for roofing, and 11 enough roofing J material has not al ready been accumulated- in the course of the excavation,, it can easily be had by digging the cellar a trifle deeper, for tbe roofs in Bermuda are invariably made' out Of thin slabs of . this . same white coral rock. " It has' the' advan tage of being so soft that one may cut it with an ordinary handsaw tea hour, a day for six month or a year without , : refiling the saw. : It may beaawed into slab two . or three inches thick and eighteen , Inch , or. two feet square without particular danger of breaking the slabs.
