Chicago, 111., May 1C. If republican bational conventions wore impulsive, emotional gatherings one might look for something spectacular to happen at a certain stage in the proceedings at the Coliseum next month. The Subcommittee on arrangements h;t.s decided to turn a parade loose in the ton vent ion hall. Most of the paraders will he from Ohio, Judging from present indications, and consequently it is assumed that, most of the noise will be for Secretary Taft. But Indiana is even better situated geographically to bring in marching clubs and Vice President Fairbanks will not. be without his demonstrations. So many clubs have asked for a pniall share in the convention affairs that the committeemen decided some recognition had to he given them and a parade in Michigan avenue will be arranged. It Is planned to send the jnarchers into the Coliseum and through Ihe convention, the committeemen being hopeful enough to think they will go out after they have been allowed In. Many Marchers Are Expected. Four or five big chilis from Ohio have asked for a chance to do something and one or two from Indiana have made the same request. The organizations which have asked for a place on the program can put up

wards of 2,0of) men in line, and it is

expected when the arrangement becomes known there will lie a hasty polishing up of regalia in other states and that a parade of respectable proportions will be formed. The paraders will come with bands and if anything can be counted on to upset the gravity of convention proceedings the committeemen probably have hit on this thing. It is estimated that there will be contests of delegates from eighty districts and seven states, involving 1SS delegates in all. To hear these cases will require about two weeks, and it la practically certain that the committee will be in session by June 2. Portraits Barred from Hall. The arrangements decided on include a multitude of details. The committeemen adopted some rules to govern the conduct of the convention, one of them being to the effect that no portraits shall be placed in the hall, and that the decorations shall bo exclusively of flags and bunting. Four years ago the only portrait in the hall was that of the late Senator Mark Hanna of Ohio. This year there will be none not even one of President Roosevelt. "The trend has been towards the elimination of pictures," said Secretary Dover, "and this rule only recognizes the general disposition to exclude them." Liquor to be Excluded Also. Another rule excludes liquor not only from the convention building during the sessions of the convention, hut from the Coliseum Annex while the national headquarters are open there. This is not a novelty, but the committeemen thought it worth while to make a rule reading: "No liquor shall he sold, served, or brought into the convention hall either at the committee meetings or during the convention week."

New York, May 16. "Nora May French's poem, "Suicide," claimed a third victim in New York today when Rosalie Peck pulled a pistol trigger and sent a bullet into his heart as he lay on a bench in Prospect park, Brooklyn. A copy of the poem by Miss French, who died by her own hand, which probably spurred Peck to end his earthly troubles, was found in a pocket of his coat. It is as follows: SUICIDE. I tilt my hollowed life and look within, The wine it held has left a purple trace. Behold a stain, where happiness has been, If I should shatter down this empty vase. Through what abysses would my soul be tossed To meet, its Judge in undiscovered lands? What sentence meted me, alone and lost. Before him with the payment in my hands? Better the patient earth that loves me still Should drip her cleaness on the purple stain; Better my life, upheld to her, should fill With limpid dew and gradual gift of rain. Peck was only 18 years of age. He was estranged from his family and had been troubled with an affection of the eyes, for which he had tried Christian Science treatment. Lately he had been playing the races and lost some money he had saved. His companions say he had worried a good deal and often threatened suicide. Printed beneath the poem was a verse from Houseman's "Shropshire Lad," in which a youth shoots himself with a revolver.. Peck had written: "Bravely done, my lad; bravely done." Nora French's Struggle. Nora May French was a friend of George Stirling, author of the variously discussed poem, "The Wine of Wizardry." Last November, while a guest at the home of Mr. Stirling in Monterey, Cal Miss French killed herself. She left behind a poem called "Suicide," which she described as the final struggle of her genius for expression. The poem was copied in nearly every newspaper in the country. Within a few weeks a young woman killed herself in this city, and in a scrapbook she owned was found a copy of "Nora May French's Suicide Verses."

After Making Gold Strike, Man Summons His Boyhood Chums.

WORTH NEARLY MILLION.

Kenton, Ohio, May 16. Worth nearly $1,000,000 between them, it is said, three chums, Charles Janes, Ralph Van Horn and Carson Kllis are on their way back to Kenton to again make their homes here. Mrs. A. W. Janes has received a message from her son, Charles, saying the three have disposed of their holdings at Goldfield and expect to reach here Friday. Ralph Van Horn might have had all the wealth now held by the three had he not remained true to a pledge he made with the others in boyhood days. At school the comrades made an

agreement that if one made a stake he should share it with the others. They started west eighteen years ago. James and Ellis drifted to the Philippines and Van Horn to Goldfield. One day a message from Van Horn summoned the absent chums. Van Horn had gold spotted. There were hunger, thirst and cold to face before the final strike, but it came. The comrades have sold the bulk of their mining interests to the syndicate

in which Nat Goodwin, 'he actor, is interested. Goldfield papers ssy the consideration was $?00.000. They will retain real estate holding in GoldfVl.l and six claims.
