The prompt and almost spontaneous nomination of McKinley and Hobart on a gold and protection platform, and in spite of all the machinationslof political bosses, is a result that must inspire hope and joy in every intelligent and patriotic heart. The big vote that swept in McKinley is proof of his strength with the peOple for he wins against thewractical policticians wlo have been accustomed to make plats and settle results in their own way fcr their party. In this case the massszs of the pcop'e ran away from the bosses and it. is the masses of the people who elect a Presi- dent. (lithe upright and lovable personal character of Mr. McKinley nothing can be, said in exaggeration of his genuire merits and worth. As the Contact huly remarks, “thanks to the fact that newbie-youth 11p be has led the golly Wfiober life of a Christian gentleman, the nomination finds him in firm health, in the maturity of his powers,:l-h_vsically equal to the fatigues of the campaign and the exacting responsibilities of the Presidency. We have what we consider solid reasons for believingthat the out- spoken declaration} of the St. Louis convention for the gold standard, so far from being disrgreeable to him, is precisely what he. has desired all along. With all the rest of us—slatesmen, poli- ticians, financiers, newspapers, voters —he has had four years’ schooling since 189é in the school of experience. Mighty educational: years they have been.” The candidate for second place on the National Ticket, Mr. Hobart of New Jersey is another gentleman of whom nothing but good can be said. He is in the robust health of middle life, a law- yer of learning and distinction. Hon- ored at home and popular wherever known. He is a capable and an ex- perienced parliamentarian, having seen service as a Senator in the New J ersey legislature, as well as on the Republi- . can National Committee. He had no personal desires for the nomination but the Republicans of his state at their Convention unanimously presented him to the party as a fit person to receive it. Their recommemdation had weight; their hope has been gratified. The ticket is McKinley and Hobart, and the platform, all that any true American could desire. 0' At the Churches. ~ GRACE CHURCH—Rev.

He fought hard’ and long for McKinley and a cabinet office would be his perhaps, if he wanted it, but he loyally prefers to be a GovernOr of Connecticut, and the GAZETTE hopes the voters of our state will feel the same way.‘ . SANGUINARY BEQUESTS. The Hearts of Great Warriors Left; as Legacies. Bequests of hearts have been by no means uncommon. Leon bequeathed his heart to the canons of Rouencathedral. and in July, 1838, this remarkable relic was once again brought to light after the lapse of six centuries; the heart, which is said to have been surprisingly large, says Temple Bar, was inclosed in boxes of lead and silver, and withered, as it was described, to the semblance of a. faded Bruce’s heart was, byhis dying wish, intrusted to Douglas to fulfill a vow, which he was unable to execute in per« son, of visiting the sepulchre of Christ. Douglas, “tender and true,” promised to fulfill his sovereign’s last request, and after Bruce’s death, having re- ceived the heart incased in a. casket of gold, set forth upon his mission. Pro- ceeding to Spain, however, he fell in the thick of a. fight with the Moors, having previous to his final charge cast the heart of Bruce from his breast, when he carried it into the ranks of the infidels, crying: “Onward as thou wert wont. Douglas will follow thee!” Bruce’s heart was afterward recovered by Sir Simon Lockhart, by whom it was brought to Scotland and buried along with the bones of Douglas in the Abbey of Melrose. ' When the remains of Bruce were disinterred at Dunferm- line, in 1810, the breastbone was found sawn through so as to permit of the re moval of the heart. _ p ,q ' MUSIC IN A PHOTOGRAPH. f ‘ew York Musician Plays 2. Tune from a Picture of Wall Street. “I have a. friend who is an amateur photographer,” said a Wall street broker to a New York Commercial Ad- vertiser reporter, “and one day he con- ceived the idea. of securing a. snap shot of Wall street and its environs. Ac- cordingly be secured the necessary permission and carried his kodak to the roof of the Manhattan Life com- pany’s building, on Exchange place. He turned his lens eastward over the roof of the Stock, exchange and pressed the button. When the nega- tive was developed it showed little else than a. confused network of tele. graph wires, chimneys and flagstaffs, but, undaunted, he developed his pic- ture. Then he discovered that the photograph of Wall street bore a strik- ing resemblance to a sheet of music, the wires forming the lines of the staves, and several linemen at work and the chimney pots and flagstaffs, in silhouette, taking the place of the notes. Contemplating his work with disgust, he was interrupted by the en- trance of a friend, an amateur mu- sician. Throwing the photograph to the musician, he exclaimed: ‘What can you make of that?’ “ ‘That,’ said the musician, knowing- ly, ‘why, that is— “ ‘You can't play in my yard, I don‘t like you any more,‘ ” “And he turned to the piano and rattled off the song.” _ HE WAS INSPIRED. The Marvelous Eloquence of an Old-Time Methodist; Bishop. “Eloquence is speaking out—out of the abundance of the heart, the only source from which truth can flow in a. passionate, persuasive torrent.” This remark of Julius Hare is illustrated by a story told of the eloquent Methodist bishop, the late Dr. Simpson, in the Youth’s Companion: Bishop Simpson preached some years ago in the Memorial hall, London. For half an hour he spoke quietly, without gesticulation or uplifting of his voice; then, picturing the Son of God bearing our sins in His own body on the tree, he stooped, as if laden with an immeas- urable burden, and, rising to his full height, he seemed to throw it from him, crying: . “How far? As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.” The whole assembly, as if moved by an irresistible impulse, rose, remained standing for a second or two, then sank back into their. seats. A professor of elocution was there. A friend who observed him, and knew that he - had come to criticise, asked him when the service was over: ' “Well, what do you think of the bishop’s elo- cution?” “Elocution?” doesn’t want elocution; Holy Ghost!” ___,§._ LAYING TELEPHONE WIRE. Cavalry Officers Make an Interesting Ex- periment. in Germany. said he; “that man he’s got the ing a. telephone by trotting cavalry was recently successfully undertaken by some Prussian Uhlans between Berlin and Potsdam. . Two sets of one ofiicer and two non-commissioned officers pro- ceeded in the early morning respect- ively from Berlin to Potsdam. Each set, says the Scientific American, was equipped with a. complete telephone apparatus which one. of the men carried in a leather 'case on his chest,_ be sides the requisite quan- tity of thinwire. The end. of the wire Was connected with the respect- ive towns’ telephone stations, and the wire was, by means of a. fork fixed at the efnd of the lance, thrown over the tops of the trees along the road. As each kilometer of wire was thus suspended a halt was made, and it was ascertained whether there was connection with the station. A new kilometer of wire was then connected with the former, and on went the men. The two sets met at Teltow. The wires, having been re- spectively tested with their respective stations, were connected, and telephonic connection between Berlin and Pots- dam was established. The distance is about twenty miles, and the whole thing was done in about four hours. Safe in a. Thunderstorm. According to a. recent‘ lecture of Prof. Shuster, of London, the safest course for a human being in a. thunder- storm is to get thoroughly wet. Frank- lin. remarked that he could kill a. rat when dry by means of an electric dis- charge, but never when it was wet, Richard Coeur de \ leaf. .- '3)" . .J - N c.
