r ~ - C i J ' When, with "tremendous enthusiasm," "tumultuous applause," and "resounding cheers," some American citizen is nominated for the Presidency of the United States at Chicago, and when, later, some otner American citizen, with ditto enthusiasm, ditto applause and ditto cheers, is nominated for the same office at Denver, COLISEUM AT CHICAGO WHER CONVENTION V the male population of the United States, or the great majority of it, at any rate, will want to know just how it was done, why it was done, and "who done it." At a National Convention each State has its own headquarters, where the delegates gather. They do a lot of "conferring" with each other and with delegates from other States. They hold meetings and elect chairmen and honorary vice-presidents. The honorary vice-president has a seat on the platform and an extra ticket, but little else. Prior to the calling of the convention to order the National Committee IN THE PRESIDENTIAL PANTRY. The Favorite Sons (in chorus) ? "Somebody's taken a bite out of my pie!" ?From the Journal (Minneapolis.) Is virtually in command of the situa tion. With it lies the arranging of the details, the "framing up" of the procedure of the first session, the selection of the temporary chairman, and, in a great many cases, though not always, the program making of the whole convention, temporary and permanent organizations, nominating, and platform building. It is the chairman of the National Committee who calls the convention to order, usually about noon upon the day set. This year the Republican National Convention will be called to order by Harry C. New on June 16, and the Democratic Convention will be called to order by Thomas Taggart on July 7. The convention called to order, the chairman requests the secretary to read the call for the convention, whiph is rlnnp Thpn the mil pall is; gone through, and this takes a lot of time. The next step is the announcement by the chairman that the committee offers to the convention as its temporary chairman the name of Soand-so. There are loud and prolonged cheers, and by a viva voce vote Mr. So-and-so is unanimously elected. I Brief N? The Roosevelt third-term bug which attacked Washington as well as other parts oC *.he United States a week or two ago has disappeared. Governor Albert E. Ivlcad. of the State of Washington, stated his belief that President Roosevelt would not accept a renomination. The threat of capital to go into politics and make its influence felt, just as labor threatens to do, has j caused perturbation in both parties. The Republican New York Press insists that Judge Harmon can make more trouble for the Republicans than probably any other man in the country. A stampede which will nominate Roosevelt is now out of the question. It is apparent that for every vote that leaves Taft for Roosevelt two will jeave me umes ivi ian. William J. Bryan's Nebraska bureau gave out a statement claiming for him more than two-thirds of the Democratic National delegates already chosen, and declaring that his "domination is assured There is usually little trouble over the election of a temporary chairman. The chairman then appoints a committee to escort the temporary chairman to the platform; the band plays, the delegation from Mr. So-and-so's State makes a lot of noise, and all is merry. It is incumbent on the temporary E THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL fILL BE HELD. chairman to make a speech. He invariably takes advantage of the opportunity. He "sounds a keynote." After the speech various resolutions are offered. Usually these have been arranged for in advance, , and the temporary chairman works according to a printed schedule, | calling on John Doe and Richard Roe at the right time, so that there may E, 1 William J.

These are the important ones. When they are all chosen, and there has been a lot of hand-clapping and cheering, as well-known men are appointed to this or that committee, the temporary chairman announces an adjournment, usually until the next day.

PouzhkeeDsie. N. Y.?Harry K. Thaw's plea for his liberty from Mateawan Insane Asylum, where he has teen confined since his acquittal for he murder of Stanford White on the ;round of Insanity, was left to be de:Ided by Judge Morschauser after a hree-day proceeding here. The hearng in the habeas corpus proceedings jpought by counsel for Thaw ended ifter District Attorney William Travirs Jerome, of New York, had made he sensational request that Thaw, ehom he had called to the stand, pernit his alienists to examine Thaw and udge of his mental condition, as teretofore they had had no opportunty to converse with the defendant. Thaw was not permitted to repond, the Court Itself tellihg him not o do so. The Judge, however, sug;ested that Thaw confer with his ounsel, and that perhaps they might lecide that it would be wise to grant he request. Thaw, his lawyers, Messrs. Graham ,nd Peabody, and Dr3. Pilgrim, Evans md Jelliffe, who had testified that ?haw was sane, went into the Judge's irivate room and after a conference asting a little over an hour came >ack into the courtroom and said that ""haw would submit to a uersonal ex imitation, but not by the alienists yho had appeared for Mr. Jerome. The alienists who should made this xamlnation, it was stated, should ie selected from some who had never ppeared in the case. Another condiion was that the examination should >e restricted to a personal study of he relator and should not be founded ?n testimony of previous trials. District Attorney Jerome instantly ejected these terms, saying he would leserve to be committed to an asylum limself if he should accept them, and here the question ended. Thaw was on the stand only ^ short ime before Jerome sprang his suririse, and answered the few questions lut to him generally without much lesitation. The first question, retarding the nature of the proceedngs, caused him some perplexity, but ie finally answered deliberately that ie was seeking the rights of an Amercan citizen. Both sides have agreed to offer no irguments in the case, but each will >resent briefs on the constitutional luestion raised by Thaw's counsel at he beginning of the hearing, to the ifTect that Thaw's commitment to tfatteawan was unconstitutioual. rhaw will remain in the Dutchess Vimtv Pnnrt Unnaa until tho Hpfis on is rendered. Never since the day when Evelyn 'Jesbit Thaw appeared as,the star witless in the first trial of her husband or the killing of Stanford White has 10 interesting a chapter in that celeirated case been revealed as fell durng the second day's proceedings from he lips of Dr. Amos F. Baker; superntendent of the State Hospital for he Insane, at Matteawan, who has lad Harry K. Thaw in his keeping tnd under his personal observation luring the last three months. Without hesitation Dr. Baker ex)ressed the opinion that Thaw is a rictim of paranoia. . In the opinion of most of those who lave listened to the testimony adluced in the habeas corpus proceedngs, his testimony is likely to prove :onclusive in the mind of Judge Morichauser, regardless of the combat of jxpert alienists. Opinion among disinterested auditors is well nigh unanimous that Thaw is destined to go back to Mat;eawan, there to remain for an indefllite period. ?INDS CONVICTED BANKER DEAD Son Refuses For Hours to Let Marshal See Corpse.

Fate He Knew inevitable. : Doomed Inventor, Soothed by Ophites, Passed Into Final Convulsions Within Time Predicted. Brooklyn, N. Y.?With nervous cwitching of the hands and facial contortions that horrified the distressed J members of his family, but probably , unconscious of the frightful agony of , it all because of the merciful use of ] opiates, William H. Mars'a, Flatbush j inventor, died from hydrophobia at , 4.50 o'clock in the afternoon of the third day since the scientists told him , 'his case was hopeless, in bis home, No. 74 Ocean avenue. He was told by Dr. William L. Wheeler, director of the Pasteur Institute, three days before that he had come too late and 1 that the Pasteur treatment would not ' avail. Calmly the condemned man < asked how many days he had to live, , and on being told not more than four , days were between him and death A*a<aM Via nrtnlH mPPt his fat.fl I without fear, having his business in rood shape, and that in another day i ne could take up the loose ends of his affairs and await death. There wa3 no trace of nervousness beyond the contortions of his mouth l and the convulsive tightening of his jaws as Marsh drove away in his car- j rlage from the Pasteur Institute to i wait a far worse fate than the State decrees to the slayer of his fellow , man. Having made his business affairs straight, the Inventor went to his home and to bed. The fearful 1 convulsions had seized him. He ex- ( acted the promise from his private 1 physician, Dr. Cullinan, that he would be kept under the influence of opiates, a that his physical torture might be lessened. He was only partly con- , scious when the final convulsions pre- , ceding death came upon him and he i died as peacefully as It was possible for medical science to devise in such harrowing conditions. Marsh was president of the Standard Water Meter Company, Nos. 245 to 249 Robinson street, Flatbush. 6 He was one of those remarkable char- t acters who accomplish great things t and seldom are heard of by the gen- S eral public. He invented many me- e chanical devices and made and lost g four large fortunes. His water meter 'I was rapidly making him another fortune when his death resulted from his ^ affection for his daughter's pet span- r iel puppy. His case is rare in the his- 1 tory of rabies. He was not bitten, t but inoculated with the virus of rab- p ies. The pet dog was bitten by a mongrel that ran mad six weeks ago through the neighborhood near Marsh's shop.

There was a "hang- t nail" on one of Marsh's fingers, and i it is believed that through this insig- g niflcant abrasion the virus, passed t into his system. In the medical records of the malady there is said t.o be only one other case similar to Marsh's, that of'a man in Paris who received the poison through a wound, t Every hour that the inventor lived e after he became afflicted with the ter- f rible disease was one of extreme men- r tal and physicial agony to himself and of misery to his family. /lartfyat. that Mloa 77* rl n a H ^ X c 10 uauggi vuau AUI>JO uuuu ^.
