National Convention Chooeea Candidate« k r President and Vic« President. Springfield, 111., July 6.— Thomas E. VNatson, of (ieorgia, for presideut, and Thomas II. Tibbies, of Nebraska, for vice president, were nominated hy the Populist convention today. The name* of William V. Align, of Nebraska, and Samuel W. Williams, of Indiana, were also placed before the convention for president, but before the list of states had been completed in the roll call, their names were withdrawn, and Wat son was nominated by acclamation. Ex-Senator Allen made good his woid that he would not enter into any scramble for the nomination, and while the nominations were being made he twice instructed the chairman of the Nebraska delegation to *»ay that his name must not go before the conven tion. In the face ot this, however, he received over 40 votes. The committee on resolutions in its report to the convention reaffirmed ad herence to the basic truths of the Oma ha platform of 1892, and of the subse quent platforms of 1896 and 1900. The platform then demands that all money he issued directly by the government, every dollar to he a full legal tender; demands postal savings banks; upholds the right ot labor to organize, and fav ors the enactment of legislation for the improvement of the condition of the wage earners; demands the initiative and re erendum ; favors prohibition of the alien ownership of lands; demands tlievwithdrawal of special privileges of trusts and monopolies, and declares the government should own and control the railroads, telegraphs and telephone sys tems, and should provide a parcels post. The platform Was adopted unanimously. LIGHTNING STARTS BIU FIRE. Large Grain Elevator Is Burned Three Live« Lost. and Boston, Juiy 7.— The immense ¿¿rain elevator of the Boston A Maine railroad company, one of the largest in the world, together with three of the com pany’s freighthouses on piers Nos. 1 and 2, Mystic wharf, Charlestown, were burned tonight, entailing losses of over $1,000,000. Three lives are supposed to have been lost. Thirty-five sailors of the Allan steamer Austria, which was lying at pier No. 1, jumped overboard to save themselves from the flames, which had communicated to their vessel. Olga Olsen, boatswains’ mate; James Flynn, fireman, and Patrick N. Meehan, fire man, ate the supposed victims. Flynn’s body has been recovered. Most of the crew swam ashore, but 11 of their number required hospital attention. Before the fire could be controlled all the upper works had been burned. The fire started during a heavy thunder storm, when a bolt of lightning struck one of the freighthouses, in which was stored a quantity of hay. The dames spread rabidly to adjoining buildings, including the elevator, and the larger part of the fire apparatus of the city was summoned to save other property. The elevator is figured at $400,000. Losses on the freight houses, their contents, the pier and the steamer Austria will easily swell the total to more lhan $1.000,000. Among the steamship companies who will suffer losses on freight de stroyed are the Allan line, tho Scandi navian and the Wilson. TOOO IN NO IIL'RRY.

Chicago, July 7.— The following special cablegrams are from a staff cor- resi>oiident of the Daily News: On board the Daily News Dispatch- boat Fawan, Chefoo, July 7.— While the Fawan was off Port Arthur Friday last, about noon, fierce cannonading was heard, ending in a heavy explosion. The Fawan stood hy one of the Japan ese picket ships till late in the after noon, but saw nothing. A ll was quiet on Saturday. W hile cruising toward Talienwan. Sunday, picket cruisers were met all along the coast at inter vals. About 15 miles off Dalny, the Fawan was stopped by a cruiser of the Asami type, hut not detainer!. “ Several shots were heard about 4 p. m. in the direction of Port Arthur. “ The naval situation is apparently at a standstill. No active measures are likely to be taken by Admiral Toiro until the land operations are further advanced.’ * Would Save Many Llyes. Victoria B. C., July 7.— Last wint er’ s terrible wrecks on the west coast of Vancouver Island are bearing their fruit in a strong movement to have that portion of the coast lietter supplied with telegiaphic communication. At present the telegraph line runs north only as far as Clayoquot, just north of Barkley (ound, leaving all the roast to Cape Scott without any means of com munication. It is suggested thst wire less telegarph stations should be in stalled at suitable points along the coast. Many Russian* Arc Deserting. Vienna, July 7.— Russian deserters are constantly crossing the prnth into Ronmania. Many are arrested by the frontier patrols, but some reach the in terior of the state. Both the soldiers and peasants of Bessarabia have a su perstitious dread of going to the Far East. The prisons of the Rusisan side of the border are full of men suspected of intention to desert.

Tw o or three long, wide tables are covered with books, torn, frr.yed and dirty. Other tables and rows of shelves are filled with volumes Just from the bindery, In spick, span, new clothes, with black, bine, green, purple, maroon, or red backs; not as gaudy or as gllty as Iu tbelr original array, but far more solid and substantial. I-ait year 3,000 volumes were re claimed and reclad, and this year 6.000 will be. Most of them are novels, an occasional history or work on practical arts feeling as lost in the tattered rank of fiction at a pedigreed dog among cur« o f the pound. The original bind ing seldom lasts more than six month«. But «tout “ boards" in place of cloth la substituted, and the leather backs in stead of cloth ones. The thread is much stronger, and each "token” or cluster of page« la sewed separately, so that the renovated book o f this grade and sort lasts four or five times as long as lt did In its original cov ers. Each new book costs an average of 85 cents, and its new suit 35 cents, or, taking into account its longer en durance, about 9 cents. The chief damage done is the tear ing of the leaves, the tearing of tho covers from the leaves, the soil, and the writing in them. The writing mainly consists of comment upon the book, either In praise or blame. "L o ve ly book.” “ Fine story.” “ Be sure and read It.” "Isn ’t she Just lovely?” “ I think Reginald is a splendid fellow ." “ Just too fine for anything." Adverse Judgments are briefer and less ex plicit. “ Bum” and “ No good” sum* lt up. These comments have ail to be eras ed. which is sometimes made impossi ble by their being written in indeli ble ink. Occasionally tbe character of the book provokes controversial In scriptions. Books In favor of secession excite emphatic protests from Union readers. The history of "Belle Boyd.” the spy, has been fearfully marked up with frank opinions of her secession proclivities. Protestants and Catholics also give vent to tbelr sentiments in regard to each other’s creed and con- ducL Bo do those of socialistic or anarchistic beliefs, when the rare chance of their presence In fiction offers. Frequently these voluntary commentators are satisfied to draw a line under the obnoxious text and set a question or interrogation mark in the margin. These expositions are gen erally In poor writing, bad spelling, and bad English. Occasionally they are bitter, and even profane. Tw o or three damaged books are kept as curiosities. One is a history, by Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. It was run over by the wheel o f a street car and a hundred odd page« cut sheer across diagonally. Another is a copy of the United States Official Register, from which some oue while in the library was able undetected to rut over 400 pages containing the list of postolfices and postmasters in the United States, probably for a mailing list. Many of the books are badly stained with the compound of mud and soot that overlays Chicago streets. When a book has been defaced or damaged, but is not yet far gone enough for rebinding, the one who draws lt from the library after the de fects have been seen. Is protected by a stamped line reading: “ Pages 145 *o 153 of this book were cut out previous to June 15, 1904," or whatever the data may have been.

W ith a Kansas City, July 8.— All Kansas streams are rising, the result of heavy rains in the past 24 hours, and serious floods are threatened. F'rom two to four inches of water have fallen during that time. A worse flood than any that has pre ceded it is thieatened at Emporia, where both the Cottonwood and Neoeho rivers are close to the high water mark and rising at the rate of four inches an hour. At Sailna the river is rising and three feet more w ill cover the east ern part of the city. Dry Creek is rag ing, and the citizens aro moving out. Farms in the lowlands are flooded, and farmers are moving their stock tohigb- er ground. Gypsum City is flooded. The wnter is in the houses and streets, and at other points much damage to buildings has been done by high winds. At Kansas City both the Kaw and the Missouri rivers are high and rising rapidly. The water overflowed the low plaies in Armourdale and Riverside. No great damage is expected in the vi cinity of Kansas City, however, unless there are further rains. At Leavenworth the damage to prop erty w ill be heavy. There the manu facturing district adjacent to Three Mile Creek, along Cherokee and Choc taw streets, from Twelfth to the Mis souri river, were flooded. Houses and lumber yards and wagon and railroad bridges are washed « w h v and telephone and telegraph wires are damaged At and near Junction City the Smoky H ill and the Republican overflowed their banks at several places. There was washouts on all roads at that point, and no trains have run in or out of Junction City today At Lawrence the Kaw is rising at the rate of th’ree inches an hour, and the lowlands are flooded. At Abilene the lowlands are inun dated and it is estimated that fully 20 per cent of the wheat is ruined. This ie the fourth flood this year in Kansas. In many places it rained neaily every other day last month, and the record this month so far has been maintained. C H A R IT IE S IN J A P A N . E ffic ie n t C are T a k e n o f A d u lta E m a il C h ild re n . and The greatest development of Japan in charity has been in tbe institutional care of able-bodied adults and of de pendent children. Progress in the care of the former dates back to 18U8, when a commission wus appointed to consid er the problem iu all its bearings, ac cording to a writer In Charities. This commission recommended, first, the erection, through funds furnished by the state, of workshops in which the Indigent poor o f Tokyo could be put to work and their earnings applied to their support; second, to supplement these workshops, or until they could be erected, by tbe establishment of agen cies for furnishing drivers of vehicles, mowers of lawns, etc., men with sim ple occupations, the employe to remain under control of tbe agencies and bis earnings to be applied to bis support; and, third, the support under sanitary conditions of the aged, the cripples and those Incapable of any form of labor and the rearing of their children nt public expense and under public over sight As a result of this plan lt is not unusual to find that worksuop in mates such as the blind, the paralytic, the Infirm, the high or middle-grade idiots and persons who have lost one or more limbs become well trained in some particular task and acquire a de gree of skill that enables them to earn more than is necessary for their sup port In the children’s institutions boys over 7 are placed largely in the hands of the older boys, more experienced and more serious companions.
