0N Tllll l’lllST BALLOT. McKinley Men Declare That but One Will Be Necessary. THE VEXATIOUS COLOR LINE. Negro Delegates Are Having Considerable Difficulty In Securing Rooms at thé Hotels — Some Preparations For the Big Convention. ST. LOUIS, June 10. —“There will be one roll call in the convention, and that will result in the nomination of. Major McKinley. ” These were the words of Judge Thompson of Ohio at McKinley headquarters. Judge Thompson’ s quoted statement was in reply to an interview with Mr. Filley of this city, in which Fil- ley said that a roll call must be completed before a nomination could be made and proposed an informal ballot. “I am familiar, ” added Judge Thomp- son, “with the mode of procedure in na- tional conventions, and I have never in my life heard of such a thing as an inform- al ballot. Mr. Filley is as sincere for McKinley as we are, but he should re- member that we do not control the action of the delegates. When some state like Pennsylvania, South Carolina or Texas is reached and a delegate sees that McKinley has already received votes sufficient to nominate him, who is to say that delegate has not the right to move that Major Mc~ Kinley be nominated by acclamation? It was done at Minneapolis four years ago. When Te as was reached, it was evident that Harr 11 had votes enough to nom~ inate, and the vote was made unanimous. N 0 one objected to it, and no one proposed an informal ballot.” Preparing For the Crowd. Sergeant-.at-arms Byrnes and his first assistant, G. N. Wiswell of Milwaukee, visited the convention auditorium and de- cided upon a number of details, such as the stationing of inside doorkeepers and assistant sergeants-at-arms and distribut- ing the force of ushers and pages. Four doorkeepers will be stationed at every door —two outside to inspect the tickets and two inside to tear off the coupons. in this way the crowd can be handled promptly. There will be a small army of ushers, pages and sergeants-at-arms. Chief Har- rigan has promised Colonel Byrnes a mu ple of hundred policemen, who will be ready to lend assistance if called upon. They are to take no part in disputes until requested to by one or more of the colonel’s assistants. The work of the decorator of the audi- torium is about finished. Admiral Far- ragut's picture will look down on the members of the convention from the gal- lery railing at the east end of the hall. Directly opposite is a portrait of General Phil Sheridan, representing the army. The still greater leaders—Lincoln and Grant—are on the two sides, the first al- most directly over the Speaker’s stand and Grant at the center of the south gallery opposite. Higher than all, just above Lincoln, is Washington. Each is sur- rounded by American flags. A Fire Company on Duty. The absence of pictures and mottces rep- resenting leaders of the Republican party of today will be noticed. The omission was intentional. A fire company is on duty in the audi- torium and will be until after the conven- tion. Their fire apparatus includes a chem- ical engine with a capacity of 160 gallons of water, 12 shoulder Babcocks, 700 feet of hose, attached to awater plug at each of the four corners of the building, and a number of ladders, hooks, axes, wire cut- ters, ropes and buckets. The building has also a fire alarm box connected with the central cc of the fire alarm department. General Coleman ofthe bureau of in- formation is preparing a complete list of all the houses and rooms that have been registered with him for the accommoda- tion of strangers. The police may make a personal inspection of each place so that no one coming to St. Louis during the convention will be thrown into bad com- panvt ”The suggestion has been made informal- ly to members of the Republican national committee that Archbishop Kain be in- vited to offer the prayer at the opening of the convention. It is customary to have a prayer at the opening of each day’s pro- ceedings. Representatives of different de- nominations are selected. The Vexatious Color Question. No solution of the puzzling question has been reached as to what shall be done with the negro delegates. The proprietors of the leading hotels deny that they have refused to entertain colored men, but say their rooms are all engaged, and that they cannot accommodate the negro, much as they might wish. N atlonal committee- men are reticent about giving their views regarding the treatment of the negroes. M. H. De Young of San Francisco, owner and editor of The Chronicle of that city and a member of the national com- mittee, said it was not a part of the duties of the committee to secure hotel accommo- dations for any delegates. white or black. He would oppose any effort to bring the matter before the committee. National Ccmmitteeman James Hill of Mississippi, a negro, thought he had so- cured rooms at Hurst’s hotel, but when he returned there from the headquarters of the Merchants’ Republican League club he found the doors practically barred against him. He was informed that the ole had made a mistake is assigning him a m, every room in the hotel having been previously engaged. Mr. Hill took in the situation at once. He quietly paid his bill and took a street car for the home of William P. Dye, a colored man. IIIcKinley For Gold. Ex-Congressman Thompson, manager pro tem. of the McKinley forces, has set at rest what will he the vital plank in the platform upon which Mr. McKinley ex- pects to stand. “It will be for the single gold standard pure and simple,” he replied in answer to a query; ”And to be explicit,” continued the Ohioan, “I will add that the financial platform of Mr. McKinley always has been the antithesis of what is known as 16 tel sllverism, and so it will be through this campaign." Hanna Off For St. Louis. CLEVELAND, June 10.—Hon. M. A. Hanna left in the afternoon‘on his private car for St. Louis. He was accompanied by Senator ‘Redfield Proctor, Abner Mc- Kinley, General Osborne of Boston, a cousin of ex-Governor McKinley; Colonel Myron T. Herrick and Mr. Sylvester T. Everett, delegates from the Twenty- first Ohio district; George E. Matthews of the Buffalo Express and William M. Hahn, who will join the party at Crestline. There was no demonstration .whatever when the party left. Hon. Joseph Manley passed through the city en route for St. Louis at an early hour. Advertise' in the Gamma. ’BIG ’BREACH OF PROMISE SUIT. May Gore Asks For $75,000 In Her Ac- . tion Against Viscount Sudley. LONDON, J one 10. —An exceedingly in- teresting breach of‘ promise case is now on trial in the high court of queen’s bench before Lord Chief Justice Russell and a jury. The aoti on is that of May Gore, who is suing Viscount Sudley, the heir of the Earl of Arran, for breach of promise of marriage. She asks for £15,000 dam- ages. 8The plaintiff’s lawyer in court said that the plaintiff was Viscount Sudley’ s mis< tress from 1889 to 1892, after which period he paid her £500, she signing a document releasing him from all causes of action. Subsequently Miss Gore lived under the protection of another heir to a peerage, and Viscount Sudley, learning of this, tried to induce her to return to him, prom- ising to marry her if she would do so. Viscount Sudley is fair, sunburned, about 28 years old and was accompanied into court by his father, a tall, dark, aus- tere gentleman, formerly an attache at Vienna and Paris and a commissioner of customs for some time. The plaintiff, . who has been a remarkably pretty, plump and attractive girl, though now showing evidences of much worry, is one of three daughters of a Scotch farmer. They were all celebrated for their beauty. Miss Gore, this being her stage name, made a decided- ly favorable impression upon the witness stand. She trembled a great deal and spoke in a most pathetic tone as she cor- roborated at length the statement of her counsel and explained, with tears spar- kling on her cheeks,that she was absolutely starving and needed money for bread when she signed the release presented to her by Mr. George Lewis at the instance of the family of Viscount Sudley. Upon cross examination the plaintiff ad- mitted, with downcast eyestsnd heaving breast, that she had gone wrong before she met Viscount Sudley. and that she had re- turned from New York in company with a gentleman named Schroeder. But she asserted there were no improper relations between them. Replying to a question put to her by the lord chief justice, Miss Gore said that at first she thought she preferred living with Lieutenant Stourton rather than as Vise count Sudley’ 5 wife, but, she added, the former advised her to marry the latter, and she eventually agreed to do so. MRS. DUDLEY WAS PRESENT. Either She or a Maid Saw Belasco In- struct litrs. Leslie Carter. NEW YORK, June 10.-—-Mrs. Catherine Dudley, mother of Mrs. Leslie Carter, was the first witness called in the suit brought against N. K. Fairbank, the Chicago mil- lionaire, by David Belasco. playwright, to recover $65, 000 for making a star actress out of Mrs. Leslie Carter. She said she lived with her daughter and knew Charles L. Allen of Chicago. She remembered an interview at the Madison apartment house with Mr. Fairbank, Mr. Belasco, Mrs. Leslie Carter and Mr. Roeder. “What happened when Mr. Fairbank ' called at the MadisOn?” “Mr. Fairbank said he wanted to see Mr. Belasco, and Mr. Roeder sent for him, and he was introduced to Mrs. Car- ter." “What did Mr. Fairbank say to Mr. Belasco?” “He said that he wanted Mr. Belasco to continue training Mrs. Carter, and that the money would be all right. Mr. Belasco told Mr. Fairbank that he could not say what his remuneration should be and ex- plained that he was a very expensive man, and Mr Fairbank said, ‘Well, go ahead.’ ” The witness then testified that she or her daughter’s maid was always present when Belasco coached Mrs. Carter. Franklin H. Sargent, teacher of acting, then testified that Belasco was the very best teacher of actors in the country, ahd that his services were worth at' least $20 ' an hour. Mr. Belasco had declared that he coached Mrs. Carter for 16 months, five days in the week and for about ten hours a day. For these services he claims $50,- 000. Drowned Self and Child. CHICAGO, June 10. —While temporarily insane Mrs. Hannah Kock, the wife of a bricklayer, walked into that part of the south branch known as “Mud lake, ” lead ing her two children by the hand.

WILD Wllll Eczema I was a sufierer for eighty ears from Eczema, but nor am entirely cured. ‘he palms of my hands were covered and badly inflamed; little white blisters appeared. then would peel off, leaving a red, smooth surface, which would burn like fire and itch. 0n the inside of the upper 'part of my limbs, 1e31, red blotche s would appear and as soon as Tbs-came u :11 m, the burning and itcli- iug would begin. N' .ght nfu-r night I would lie awake and scrhltch and almost go wild. I got a box of Curious; and a bottle of Coricuna RE- servers, and after a fe v applications I noticed the redness ondinfinmmarion disappear; before 1 had used one box there was not a sign of Eczema left. I can truthfully assert that $2 .00 worth of Cartoons Ransom; s cured me. JOHN I). l’OR’ l‘E, Pitfsburg, Pa. Snap?
