Smith and the entire rover of Democratic state elective officials were re-nominated unani mously by the Democratic state con vention today. The convention, the first in many years that had not bcfti marked !>y at least, on? hitter contest, was the epitome of harmony. It was n Smith demonstration all the way, every reference to the gov ernor provoking renewed enthusiasm. When the governor appeared in per son the assemblage gave him one o’ the greatest ovations in his career. When William Church Osborn, the permanent chairman, concluded his eulogy of Governor Smith hy saying “then is only one A1 Smith,” the del egate.- and spectators rose as one iwth a yell that could be heard blocks away. County standards were wrench, id from their places and the cheering, ringing delegates, milk'd around the ,Toor while the band tried to make it self heaid above the din with the gov ernor's fuwrite song, “The Sidewalks of Mew,” and other old favorites. Mrs. Roosevelt Seconds It. The principal seconding speech wns made hy Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, a cousin of the Republican guberna -Wb*t v-wmwio.e, .Theodore Rooftevpjt.. Slip raised laughter when she said: "Of course A1 Smith will Win. He could not do otherwise when the Re publican convention at Rochester yes terday did all it could to help him.” me nwMiuui in «; i Muuicris delegates promised -that hi* would • wage a vigormi* '■etynpaign, Pr*i*^ of John \V. Davis, the Democrftie pre.-i eutial nominee, as the* ablest Demo crat in the United States, condemna tion of the Republican platform adopt ed at Rochester as the “most dishon est document” he had over read, and denunciation of the Republican na tional and state administrations brought forth thunderous applause. “You can not nominate a myth in Washington and a name in New York and get away with it,” raid the (gov ernor. The convention adjourned sine die soon after the governor’s speech. The only other business transacted at the convention was the adoption of the party platform which in the muin follows closely along the lines of pre vious state platforms. It openly de nounced the Ku Klux klan, called for modification of the Volstead act so as to permit the sale of light wines and beer and recommended equal repre sentation of women on party commit tees. .

Ghost Prowls About Mansion At Night Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 27.—There i is one particular old dingy stone mnn ! '■'•ion in Cleveland's ancient "street of j gold” -Euclid avenue—about which is | a cerain air of mystery. Like many old building^ of note, it 'has its legends or traditions. These legends or tradition:-, perhaps based more or less on fact, are being pass ed on by the old servants of the place to the roomers who now oc cupy tlie palatial residence. If Lulu Evans, the colored maid; is to he believed, the ghost of the former owner, now dead, may he seen often, emerging from the secret. s!air f case that parses from the spacious | dining room to a large chamber above j or strolling along the great corridors, I attired in blue dressing gown and i slippers. The Mansion, The mansion in ouestion was the I home of the late Sylvester T. Ev j erett, hanker and street railway mag nate. The building is like many others built HO or 40 years neo, between 20th i and 50th streets in Euclid avenue, which, from their cost, might weli have earned Euclid avenue the title of Cfeevlard’s ‘street of gold.” Rut gradually !h- tentacles of bu siness reached up this aristocratic old thoroughfare and have taken over the old mansions. The massive stone buildings, in mahy eases, are run down anS sfariil ;n grim dark coals of factory soot— the ghostly markers of a former gen eration. Like Feudal Castles. The eld Everett home, built of red ;f.me ingeniously carved with hun dreds of human face?, including those of the Everett family and others re presenting the various races, of the ''orld, is of a sheltering’ grove#,lfke She towers of a feudal castle, although the architecture of the building as a whole is not nearly as severe. | The building cost $1,000,000 it is | said, and was completed in 1887, aft. four years’ work. It was com ! pleted at the height of Everett's ca j reer as a financier and shortly after his marriage to Alice Louisa Wade, granddaughter of Jeptha H. Wade, founder of Wade Park and one of the initial stockholders of the Western Union Telegraph Co.

STORE v, j also was known as a royal spender, j He opened hi.s palatial .'10-room home with a “house warming” that was the sensation of the season. He was proud of his home. He showed his guests' through the 20 rooms on the first two j floors finished in as many different kinds of wood. One parlor is of rare| Moorish design, another English, aj third German, a fourth Japanese, and so on. Rare Wines. Everett's stock of rare wines, | whiskies and champagne also prov ed ouite an attraction. His splendid j stock was. equalled' only his generos ity in doling it out to guests; and, ns might lie expected in this case, he had; many friends. Everett's parties in his million-! dollar home soon gained him much pop ularity. He wa:, city treasurer for a time. He was a warm friend of the late Andrew Carnegie, Carnegie often vis itedv at the Everett home. Andrew, who knew how to make friends, as well as money, took one look at Ev erett’s cellar of liquor and thereafter! every year sent Evoret a case of ex ceedingly rare Scotch whiskey. With a loving wife and children and surrounded by hosts of friends, Ev erett appeared, for a time, to enjoy real happiness. Feared Death. But to his most intimate friends he! confided hie, one fear—that of death.! Everett's dread of the hand of death tormented him by day an by night. And brv courting ,D»o«b,n«, -w-bteh brought much merriment-, resounding laughter and song into his home, Ev erett sought to shut out thought of the unwelcome visitor! In lfuG cnmo the* first 1>low.

Friends dropped away. h inally he was 82, and although lie knew the inevitable was not far off, the knowledge comforted him in no way but only added to Ips suffering. The Last Party One evening, about three years ago, a number o;' friends of the wealthy banker received sudden sum mon* to the Everett home. One of Everett’s old-time entertainments awaited them. The next day Everett died. Roomers who now occupy the old mansion are told this story of the former banker. They are shown the secret staircase. They are told that there also is a secret under ground tunnel which used to con nect the house with the Wade home several hundred feet distant on an adjoining lot. A large blood-red mahogany nanel slides open, revealing the staircase, It is musty and very dirty. The roomers speculate on its former use. The ghost Then Lulu, the ^Bored maid, adds to the wonderment by declaring posi tively, “I done saw Mista Everett las’ night, walking right along here.” She says he walks wearily through j the corridors% in blue dressing gown | and slippers, fust as he appeared in] life, when he paced the floor, fear- j ing death. According to Tom Gibbons, the American boxer, our English boxers don t fight enough. The trouble is that some American boxers stop them. —Punch (London.
