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their names were withdrawn, and Wat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.

A large room on tbe first floor of tbe

minds oue of a laundry with soiled
clotbea ut one end and washed and
Ironed ones at the other. 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

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

These comments have ail to be eras

the book provokes controversial In
scriptions. Books In favor of secession
excite emphatic protests from Union
readers. The history of "Belle Boyd.”

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.

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.

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.

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

not unusual to find that worksuop in
