No Change In Order®.
Washington, D. C., June 17 -There
were no indications here tonight that
the administration's determination to
continue the campaign against bandits
in Mexico would in any way be al-
tered by General Trevlno's reported
threat to begin hostilities if the
American troops move from their pres.
ent position in any direction except
toward the border. General Pershing's
orders authorize him to move In any
direction he finds necessary to his
purpose.

canism and Suffrage.
Coliseum. St. Louis, Mo., June 16—
Woodrow Wilson was nominated by
the Democratic national convention
just before midnight. When Judge
Westcott of New Jersey had placed;
the President In renominatlon and the
nomination had been seconded by For-
mer Governor Harmon of Ohio, and
Gov. Stuart of Virginia, the delegates
wanted to wait no longer and cried
"Vote, vote."
On motion of Senator Hughes or
New Jersey the rules were suspended
and no ballots whatever were taken.
The delegates simply roared "Aye
when the names of Wilson and Mar-
shall were called and Chairman James
declared them nominated by acclama-
tion. , ,T| „
Senator Kern, nominating Vice-
President Marshall discarded a long
prepared speech and simply said:
"I renominate Thomas Riley Mar-
shall" , .
The nomination of both candidates
was completed four minutes before
midnight.
There never was any doubt of Presi-
dent Wilson's nomination but there
was a possibility that some vice-presi-
dential boom might be brought out in
opposition to Vice-President Marshall.
They melted away however as soon a
the convention got in session.
To President Wilson's nomination
there was only one dissenting vote,
technically made. R. E. Burke of Il-
linois. who came to the conventldn an-
nouncing that he was opposed to the
President. His vote technically madej
the President's nomination 1091 to T.,
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed I
during the nomination and the dele-
gait s yelled themselves hoarse
The convention finished Kb ^ork
today by adopting the party platform!
exactly as approved by President \M>
son and submitted by the resolution
committee, Including the planks on
Americanism and favoring woman!
Freezes Only In Summer.
At Coudersport. Pa., is the strangest
mine in the world. It is an ice mine,
which freezes in summer and thaws
in winter. Charles Arthur Vander-
muelen says, in the Scientific Amer-
ican, that it is a pit 40 feet deep
and from 10 to 12 feet in diameter,
up which pours a peculiar cold mist
which comes from openings found all
the way from the top to the bottom.
As Boon as warm weather arrives frost
appears on the walls of the shaft, and
oon tiny icicles form rapidly, until
suffrage, but not until the harmony
of its three days' session had rippled
with a row over the suffrage plank.
No voice was raised against the vig-
orous declarations of the American-
ism plank. For a time it looked as if
the suffrage plank had been lost, but
after Senator Walsh of Montana had
told the convention that President
I Wilson himself considered it vital to
party success, it was voted Into the
platform by a ballot of 882*4 to 181 Vs.
The whole platform then was adopt-
ed without roll call.
As it went into the platform the
suffrage plank stands:
"We favor the extension of the fran-
chise to the women of this country,
| state by state, on the same terms as
j to the men."
The woman suffrage leaders consid-
ered it a much more favorable declai-
ation than they got from the Republ •
Thief Shows Originality.
Thieves are not common in Alaska,
but when one does appear he general-
ly exhibits an originality of conduct
difficult for less accomplished folkB to
comprehend. As an Instance of this
characteristic a thief broke into a
store at Douglass recently and stole
all the 1916 tags provided for licensed
doga, thus subjecting every canine in
town to the danger of being taken up
by the dog catcher.

CZAR'S BODYGUARD TAKES THE FIELD
-tSensitive Plant.
Leaves of the manaca palm, prob-
ably the commonest forest plant In
Central America, have a queer habit
of trembling violently when no wind
is stirring that the human faculties
can detect, although, as no other ex-
planation exists, it 1b reasonable to
suppose there must be some tiny air
currents moving to which the plant
responds with extreme sensitiveness.

Affection a Heavenly Gift.
IIow sacred, how beautiful, Is the
feeling of affection in pure and guile-
less bosoms! The proud may sneer
at it. the fashionable may call it fa-
ble, the selfish and dissipated may
affect to despise It; but the holy pas-
sion 1b surely of heaven, and is made
evil by the corruptions of those whom
It was sent to bless and preserve.—
