PRESTON'S NAME, DE LEON SAYS HIS CRIME WAS NO DISHONOR. New York, July 6. Candidates for president and vice president of the United btates were nominated and a platform was adopted by tue National Convention of the Socialistic Labor party here Sunday. The ticket nam ed is as follows: , For president, Martin R. Preston of Nevada; for vice president, Donald Munro, of Virginia. The nomination of Preston for president was unanimous. The candidate was placed in nomination by Daniel DeLeon, who characterized the man he was naming as "An honest workingman, not a professional working man." And added: "The name of that man is Martin R. Preston, and he is now in jail at Goldfield, Nevada. Preston is in jail today for conduct that is honorable, and which no workingman should be ashamed of." De Leon explained that Preston had been sentenced to 25 years' imprisonment for shooting a restaurant keeper in Goldfield three years ago during a strike. Preston, De Leon asserted, had acted as the protector of defenseless girls, and by so doing had enraged a restaurant keeper named Silver. Silver, Mr. De Leon said, was shot by Preston while threatening to kill the latter. Mr. De Leon said he knew that Preston had not reached the age which the Constitution says a President of the United States must be, but he declared that made no difference. "It is for the working class to elect Preston," he said, "and if he is elected he will be seated. Constitutions are for the people, and not the people for the tonstitutions." Telegrams were sent to Preston and Munro notifying them of their- nomination. The platform adopted is identical with the one adopted by the party four years ago. THE DUCKING STDOL How a "Scold" Used to Be Punished In Old England. It is interesting to conjure up a picture of a "ducking" as practiced in England at the end of the eighteenth century. When the "scold" had been properly tried and convicted, she was escorted by a crowd of her neighbors In fact, by the whole village to the nearest pond, and the greener and slimier the pond the better. A long plank was produced, at one end of which was the ducking1 stool, and In this the screaming, struggling victim was securely pinioned. The chair end of the plank was then pushed far over the edge of the pond, and at a signal It was tilted deep into the green 00 re until the scold was completely Immersed. When the dripping, half drowned woman was raised to the surface again to the jeers and laughter of the onlookers It can be Imagined that her tongue wagged to some purpose. After a second dose she emerged more subdued, and after a third or fourth she was as penitent a woman as the village contained and was allowed to proceed home a sadder and wiser woman until the next time. London TitBits. The Twilight Of ULre. The muscles of the stomach .a old a?e are not as strong- or active as in youth and in consequence old people are very subject to constipation and indigestion. Many seldom have a bowel movement without artificial aid. Many also, hro unpleasant ernctattons of gas from' the stomach after eating. All thls'can be avoided by th. use of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which permanently reroutes the bowels so that passages come naturally, and so strengthens the stomach that food is divested without discomfort.

Saturday and Sunday the Pennsylvania station was thronged with people. In fact the crowds were the largest in years and the station officials and the policemen on duty there had their hands full protecting the travelers and their friends and relatives from accidents. Owing to the fact that the gate system is not used at the local station, considerable difficulty was experienced in guarding the crowds. A PEDDLER'S JOKE. It Had a Sharp Turn That Took Ml the Fun Out of It. One day a peddler of tinware stopped at a country house in New Englacl and, leaving his horse and wagon at the gate, went to the door, where a big woman with a rather pleasant face met him. He told her .what he had for sale and succeeded in disposing of half a dozeu articles to her. Then she said that she had not money enough to buy more. "Well, ma'am." said the peddler. "I'll take rags If you have any." "I have none to sell," answered the woman. The peddler saw at least n dozen children, all 6inall, about the house and the yard, and he suddenly thought of a joke that he might play on the woman. "You seem to have plenty of children," he said. "Maybe you might sell me one of them and take the pay in tinware." "What will you give?" said the woman. "I'll give $10." said the man, "all in the best tinware." "Well, sir." said the woman, "it's a bargain; take your pick of the lot." The peddler was surprised that his joke was working so well, but he kept a very serious face, and. selecting a very bright looking little fellow of six years, he took blm up and put him on the seat of the wagon and then gave the woman $10 worth of such articles as she wanted. Never doubting that the mother would repent of her bargain and give him, to redeem the boy, $10 In money the minute she saw him starting off, he climbed up on the seat, touched up his horso and drove off. He drove very slowly, however, for he expected every second to hear the woman call him back, for how could he think for a moment that a mother would sell her child for a lot of tinware? But she did not call him back, much to his amazement, while, as for the boy, he was in high glee, for he was going to have a drive. Presently the peddler, fearing that the joke had been turned on him, drove back to the gate. Lifting the disappointed little fellow down from the wagon, he went with him to the door, where he found that the woman had Just finished arranging her new tins nicely on her shelves. "I think the boy will not do, after all," said the peddler, "and you had better take him back and let me have my tins." "No, 6ir!" cried the woman. "A bargain's a bargain, and yon must stick to it!" "Why, ma'am," said the man, "surely you wouldn't sell your little son for a lot of tinware?" "Oh," answered the woman, "I have no children, mister. The boys and girls you 6ee here are pauper children, and as you seem to be a good sort of man I'll sell you as many of 'em as you want for $10 apiece." The peddler stared at her for a minute in speechless amazement, and then, turning suddenly toward his wagon, he drove away as fast as his horse could take him. But he left his tins behind him.

Should Pay Money to City Not Liked. IDEA IS FOOLISH 'TIS SAID. CLAIMED THAT THE CITY SHOULD NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ONE COMPANY FOR ANOTHER. It was stated today that at the coun cil meeting this evening the various phases of the traction auestlon will come up for discussion. Council and the board of public works hold different views on this subject and It is possible that some interesting events will be pulled off. President George Staubach of the board of public works, smarting under the statement recently published in the Palladium that the board of public works had postponed consideration of the Dayton & Western franchise, the consideration of which is being earnestly urged by business men, because of jealousies and internal dis cords, has now come out with the statement that the real reason why the board has delayed taking action on the matter is because the board will never consider a franchise unless the Dayton & Western pays for it. This statement was made, presumably, to pacify the disgusted and indignant shippers but it proved a boomerang. for the only discernable effect it has had so far has been to stir the wroth of the shippers to a little higher de gree. "Such a statement is absolutely ridiculous but to be expected from the source where it originated, stated a prominent busuiness man today. "The traction lines and railroads are the backbones of our prosperity and to compel any traction line to pay a subsidy to enter Richmond is such an absurd policy that I believe China would hesitate to adopt it." "True the Dayton & Western did not do the right thing in building its line into Richmond without first securing a franchise but now that that company has applied for a franchise no excuse is offered the city to attempt a hold up. Richmond paid $225,000 subsidy to the C, C. & L. railroad. Shall the Dayton & Western, which has done this city as much, if not more, good than the C, C. & L. be compelled to pay Richmond a subsidy for entering here?" A Golf Outrage. The Earl of Wemyss was on a Fife golf course on one occasion accompanied by an old caddie. His lordship got his ball on one occasion so near the hole that to play It was. as It appeared to him. superfluous. So he simply tipped It in with the to of his boot. The caddie revolted lnstanter, threw down the clubs and looked horriSed. When he found words to speak it was to say, "Hang it, me lord, gowfs gowf!" Satin Aches.

TRAINING CROUPIERS THE WAY THE EXPERTS AT MONT6 CARLO ARE MADE. Picked Men rodrrgo a RlsTld Cmiu of Instruction I'ntll They Are Mold ed Into the Right Form to Preside Over the Osmlsg Tables. The stereotyped words ring out In but slightly varying tones from tha throats of those immaculate black coated functionaries. Indeed the most sensational coup of the season would, we believe, be powerless to move any of these suave officials into betraying even a momentary gleam of Interest In the mere mortals he thus adjures to plank down "their ready." , The casual frequenter of the salle de Jeu pays but little beed to these things indeed takes them as a matter of course nevertheless the croupier U "made," not "born," though he may bare inborn qualifications. lie is a creature of selection, and, given a cattdldate of seeming promise, there follow months of training and trial aye, little temptations which shall test bis honesty before the three chiefs who watch him and consider all bis points decide upon his actual election, and be is carefully molded Into the "right form," that of the quiet, courteous yet ever alert gentleman, whose well kept band spins the marble ball and throws the coins so dextrously across the green cloth. It may be Interesting to those who do not already know to bear that no more than thirty-six men can go up at a time for election. Thlrty-alx the number which exactly corresponds with the numerals on the board and of these, again, only the very fittest are chosen for final training and appointments. The "making f the croupier" takes place during the dead season that Is, from about August till the end of December, by which time it Is calculated a smart man may be considered fit to try bis paces In public. The talnlng Is Indeed no play, but consists of regular attendance at the classes of the "ecole des croupiers" for six hours a day, the exact time being from 8 to 11 In the forenoon and from 2 to 5 In the afternoon. Before admittance to the "school," however, a medical examination has to be undergone as well as er aminations In viva voce arithmetic and tests put with regard to correct and fluent French and refinement of accent. Yet would all these avail a man nothing should his antecedents and character not bear the strictest and most searching scrutiny. During this time of probation coins of the value of those they will have to handle at the tables are not used, notes being represented by squares of paper of much the same size and texture and the louls d'or being "understudied" by one franc pieces, while the smallest stake permissible, the clumsy five franc piece, remains the same. As we have, however, already observed, tests of honesty are at times resorted to In order to make sure cf the man's qualities in this respect. Yet in order not to strain this point too highly the management pays the probationer a sum of 150 francs a month salary during his period of training. The dally "lessons" consist naturally enough principally In the acquirement of a nice manipulation of the ball and the rake, in quirk "head reckoning" and in dextrously pitching the coins across so that they seem to fall In an orderly golden row, each separate and distinct. A distinction is made between candidates for the trente-et-quarante tables and those devoted to the more easily grasped game of roulette. The men serving the former are. as may have struck any observant visitor, of a distinctly better class, a higher mental caliber. Their salaries, too. are proportionately higher, ranging from 400 to 600 francs a month, while the "chef" draws 725 and the Inspectors and subdirectors from 750 to 1,000 a month, with a bonus also at the end of the season and the comforting prospect of a pension when old age xtr sickness comes along to lay them on the shelf. That these men are also well wort's !t goes without saying. A lesser grade of Intelligence Is required at the rouge-et-noir board, yet here. too. the salaries are such as many a civil service clerk might well envyearned, too, fa a lovely climate and bearing; in mind that, given fair health and a steady devotion to Cuty, tfc appointment may be considered good for all the man's working life leading also, to Mje-.0mata peasipn in ceccsni-

London Tall Mall Oaxett THE WEST POINT RIOT. It Happened During the Cadetship of Jefferson Davis. Closely connected with Benny Tlarens' was the great cadet riot of Christ mas, 1826, In the middle of Jefferson Davis third year. Before Chrlstmaa It was rumored through the barrack that Davis and other southern and. southwestern cadet were going to explain to the other members of the corps the mysteries of eggnog. Cadets Davis, Tilghman and Temple were to get the necessaries from Benny's, but it seems that something prevented, and others had to get the material. The authorities were auspicious and ordered the Inspector to stay tip all night to keep order. Thla angered the cadets, and the preparation for too eggnog went on. In the dark of the morning of Dec. 23 the Invitations were sent ouL Robert E. Lee and Joseph E. Johnston declined. J. B. Magruder, Drayton, C. J. Wright and others accepted. Davis was extending the Invitations when he heard a rumor that Captain Hitchcock was abroad. H ran back to iso. o nortn Darracaa, where the refreshments were collected, celled out, "Put away that grog, boys; old mtcb Is coming." and looked up to find that mtchcock was already In the room. Davla was sent to hla quarters under arrest; fortunately for him. for after some hilarious noise he went to sleep and did not get Into the riot which then began. The la true tor and officers were chased out of the halls Into their own rooms and there besieged. The cadets obtained arms and organized the Helvetian league to protect themselves against the bombardiers, who. they beard, were ordered out to subdue them. Davla' roommate. Walter B. Gulon of Mississippi, was the leader of the Helvetian. Ho secured a pistol and tried to shoot Captain Hitchcock. Some of the officers were badly braised with stove wood that the cadets threw at them. After an hour or two the riot wor out Later nineteen cadets, among; them Gulon, were court martialed and dismissed. Davis, with others, was kept long under arrest and given demerits. Professor w.
