Mrs. B. Forsythe has been resting well at the Hahnamann hospital, although she has been under the influence of opiates to lessen the pain caused by the surgical operation. Tuesday night she slept well, probably induced by the opiates that had been administered.

In reviewing the personal of the republican national convention, attention is at once attracted to those in authority, not only on the committees, but those acting in the capacity of officers. Julius C. Burrows, U. S. Senator from Michigan, and one of the trusts’ most sturdy defenders, was temporary chairman. Albert J. Hopkins, 17. S. Senator from' Illinois, was chairman of the platform committee, another of the worst pro-trust senators in Congress. Henry Cabot Lodge, U. S. Senator from Massachusetts, was permanent chairman of the convention. He, too, has always been allied with the worst elements in American politics. The “Interests” can not find fault with the result of the republican national convention. It has certainly done itself proud, as far as they are concerned.
