National and state news may seem scarce, but with the wires crowded with convention news it is difficult to give space to other matters. At that it is a relief to have the murders, scandals ami other topics Wide-track-ed for a few days. Criminal charges against former Governor Warren T. McCray hav ■ been dn>i>ed in the Marion circuit court ami futher prosecutions against the former chief executive will cease, in the meantime the governor will have to serve the minimum of hi ten-year sentence in the Federal priton. after which time he will gain hi > freedom.

Face to Face With Oscar Tschirky Master Maitre d’Hotel at the Waldorf (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) Hotels may come and hotels may go, but “Oscar of the Waldorf" goes on forever. When a little rosy-cheeked lad arrived at Castle Gardens from Europe some years ago, he was asked his name. “Oscar,” he replied. When asked for It s family name, he again; replied “Oscar, they always call me Oscar in the family.” He did not speak much English, but insisted he was content to make the name stand for something. He had a pair of keen observing black eyes, and within an hour after he had left Castle Garden he had found a job. and was soon known as a young man who knew how to prepare and serve food. He was engaged as steward in the yacht of a prominent mqn, and soon proved more than a steward, he was a master in serving dinners. This soon led to the place where the best dinners were elven. Mention the Wal-dorf-Astoria. known the world over, and one includes “Oscar.” The right hand man of Proprietor Boldt, Oscar became omnipresent at the Waldorf. Now in the dining room seeing that waiters are carrying out every promise on the menus and his detailed instructions about serving the food, or now in the corridors greeting guests or in the kitchen. Oscar is always there. Whether it is a wedding, a Stale banquet—Joy or sorrow, Oscar, the sympathetic soul, is around. When three thousand people .are d ning at the Waldorf. Oscar is at the head of the line directing the procession of waiters like a field-marshal For over a third of a century he has maintained this individuality of his work. When Presidents. K ngs. Queens, Aces or Royal Flushes arrive. Oscar is there first. Oscar is also a farmer, and knows the virtue of fresh milk, eggs and vegetables. His farm on the Hudson is a pastoral Waldorf in itself. At a barbecue held in the Catskills where there was a Jam Oscar was at the ht'ad of the line seeing that the ox was conveyed in toothsome morsels

The democratic convention will go over until neat week and indicationsj this morning are that little It any bal-, lot Ing for the presidential nominee' will take place today. This means [ that it will take at least two day*, to'nume the candidate, with anolherj day to ballot on the vice-presidential I nominee. The platform committee, has not yet reported and a fight on the floor may ensue on several of the; planks before It is adopted. In the| meantime the "dark horses" arc be Ing gr<M>med for the big race and chances are that the nominee will be Ralston. Davis. Walsh, Glus*. Daniels or Ritchie, but that's Just a guess, for who knows but that is might be either McAdoo. Smith. I’nderwood, Robinson <>r Cox. And now you don’t know any more about It than you did yesterday. There is no disputing the fact that the programs gien so far at the chuutauqua have been among the most entertaining. Instructive, inspiring and educational ever furnished In this city. Every day ha, been Jatntti<>d with good things, the music. lectures and entertainments living of the highest grade. The Junior department, under the direction of Mists Grirenwr. assisted by a number of local women has been one of the real delights fur the children. The remaining programs for Saturday and Monday will be equally an good. To ascertailt if the people of this city wish to have a Chautauqua next year, pledge cards 1 for tickets will be solicited this even lug and again on Monday evening. If suM< lent intereat is shown. If enough tickets are pledged the local arso- - elation is willing to go ahead and con--1 ( tract for another high class program ' netrt veer. It I* pc-esilia that the i

Innate geniality shines in the smiling face of Oscar and his hands have the deftness of a woman in supplying home comforts for the wayfaring guest. This boy. born in Austria, typifies the American ideal of hospitality. ’ The family name of Oscar is Tschirky. but that is u mere incident 1 now. for he has made the name "Oscar” world famous as an American. His career illustrates how much : a personality counts in these “imper- i sonal times.” Card-indexed and overtrained mental efficiency will not , work without personnel and morale, in effective osganization. ' “To me there i« a picture to be I. made in the seating of guests. A dining room is a setting that must be | arranged with artistic care by studying effects, as a stage manager studies effects for grouping his casts in impressive tableaux. Many things enter .'nto the feeling of harmony in the dining room that may not occur to guests, but are constantly on our minds Tojis there is something as gratifying in making guests happy as though we were hosts entertaining frieqds at our own home."
