AAoor~>>>~~~~
CHICAGO, June 9.--About GOO Greenbaok-
ers have arrived here to take part in the
Convention which begins to-day in the Ex-
position Building, which the Republicans
vacated last night. A meeting was held
last evening at the Palmer House. the gen.
eral object of which was to incite the dele
gates to enthusiasm in the cause. The
chief contest between them is as to whether
General Butler, of Massachusetts,, shall be-
the nomiRes for President.
Mr.. Buchanan, of Indiana, said last night
that General Butler will be nominated on
Thursday bat there is a strong undercnr-
rent setting against him, coming principally
from the South, and is probably due to his
war recGIl.
The Executive Committee held a short
meeting last night to arrange the preilmi-
nary programme of the Convention. Con-
gressman Weaver, of Iowa, Is the leading
candidate for Chairman OF the Convention,
the permanent craftsmanship still matter
| of doHbt.
| The Greenbackers held an open-air meet
ling last night in Dearborn Park, which was
attended by about 1000 persons. Ad-
dresses were made by De La Matvr, Of In
diana; Reynolds of Iowa; Harper. of Iii
nois, and others.
CHICAGO, LII, June 9-Fully seven hun
dred delegates to the Greenback Conven-
| tion are now here. In addition 10 these
are about one Thousand representatives OF
the various labor organizations who have
asked for seats in the Convention. The
call for the Convention made the basis OF
rep. esentation the same as in the Republi-
can Convention. two delegates from Con-
gressiona District and four at large from
each state, but the indications are that the
basis of represer tation specified in the call
will not be adhered to and that the labor
Representatives will be admitted.
The National Greenback Executive Com
mittee had meeting this morning, and
arranged details of the organization Of the
Convention.
Congressman De La Maytr, of Indiana,
has been agreed upon as temporary Chair
man, and will very likely be continued as
permanent Chairman.
The several State delegations met this
morning, and chose candidates for tn,
Committee on Credentials.
The great hall of the Exposition build
ing presented different appearance thi
morning from that which it has worn for {
week past, the space allotted to the dele
gates was very nearly filled, hut the foo
back of the delegates seats was empty ant
} the galleries, except two sections. Oi
either side Of the stage were long stretche
of barren boards There were apparentl.
1000 delegates in the seats and about a
many spectators in the galleries.

WOmen's Rights in Mississippi.

The new code of Mississippi has cut
I'D by the roots all the ancient disabili-
ties of married women, and they are
now free and equal in every respect to
their husbands. 1t is the most radical
legislation yet had upon the subject.
Susan B. Anthony and Mrs. Meriwether
should at once move TO that Sta e and
not cease this agitation till the ight to
vote has been secured as thor ighly as
the rights of property have been.
"Section 1867. The common law, as to
the disabilities of married women, and
its effect on the tights of property of the
wife, is totally abrogated, and marriage
shall not be held to impose any disability
or incapacity on woman as to the
ownership. acquisition or disposition OF
property OF any sort, OF as to her capacity
to make contracts, and do all acts in
reference to property which she could
lawfully do if she were not married i;
but every woman now married, or here
after to be married, shall have the same
capacity to acquire, hold, manage, con-
troll, use, enjoy and dispose of all prop
erty, real and personal, in possession or
expectancy, and to make any contract in
refer ence to it, and to bind herself per-
sonally, and to sue aud be sued, with all
the rights and liabilities incident thereto,
as if she was not married"
"Sec. llG8. Husband and wife can sue
each other"
"Sec. 1859. A married woman may
dispose other estate, real and personal,
by last will and testament, in the same
manner as if she was not married."
"Sec. ITO. Dover and courtesy, as
heretofore known, are abolished"
Other sections conform the genera
laws to these radical changes. Husband
and wife inherit from epch other al
their respective property if there be NJ
children, and eacL child's part if there
be children or the descendants of chill
dren. They maydissenU from each other
wills and take of each others estates &C
cording to law, except that if there b,
no children, in case of such dissent th'
dissentient gets only half of the estate
he or she has no estate of his or he
own. II the dissentient has property o
his own or her own, equal to one-fiftl
of what he or she would be entitled t.
in the others's estate, then the deficienc
is to be made up out of the others es
tate.-Memphis (1snn.) Avalanche.

Elegant Journalism.

The Boston Globe replies as follows to
q young man ambitious of becoming a
journalist: 1t is hard to tell from this
distance whether you are fitted for the
hard life of newspaper writer or not
That is the only question to be decided
for qualification is quite immaterial
You must be prepared to rise from your
bed as early as lOA. NJ, in order that you
may have finished reading your private
mail by noon. Lunch is always paid
for by the Office, but you have got to
accustom yourself to but five courses
and only two kinds of wine-some
papers stand three, including cham.
pagne, but they are the exceptions
rather than the rule. At 2 Pm you
are expected to re I'd the morning papers (;
and, if you are not too much exhausted
by the effort, you can have n game OF
billiards, ior no well-regulated news
paper Office is without well-appointed
billiard room. At 7 PM. you are
expected to tell the city editor where
you will spend the evening, so that he
can send for you in case your friends
call, and then you can go to the theater,
opera, ball or dog fight, to which
tickets and carriage will be provided.
If you think you can stand such labori.
Gus work, come on and we will see what
we can do with you; but you must un-
derstand that there is none of the luxury
to which you have been accustomed in a
newspaper Office. Plain velvet carpets
are good enough for this class oi
laborers; lounging chairs are, of course,
Indispensable, but they are upholstered
in plain satin, with no tides. Only one
roll-top desk and four gold pens are fur
nished by the office; if you need any
more you will be expected 10 buy them
yourself. Only one sofa and one silver
drinking cup are allowed to each man,
so you can see that there are some dis.
comforts to be put up with.

mi.itiamen, described the prisoners ap-
pearance as follows in a letter written
in 1917: He looked somewhat like a
reduced gentleman. His small clothes
were nankeen, with long white top
boots, in part his undress military suit
His coat, purple with gold lace, worn
somewhat threadbare, with small
brimmed tarnished beaver on his head.
He wore his hair in queue, with long,
black band, and his clothes somewhat
dirty. In this garb l took charge oi
him. After breakfast my barber came
in to shave me, after which requested
him to undergo the same operation
which he did. When the ribbon wa:
taken from the hair observed it wa:
full of powder. This circumstance witt
others that occurred induced Inc to be
lieve that had no ordinary person il
charge. He requested permission t,
take the bed while his shirt and small
clothes could be washed told hin
that was needless, for change was a
hisseryice, which he accepted.
