all right somewhere with somebody

And then / was silent, andt after
a little she began again.
Mercy sake, you are perfect
spendthrift Two matches to build

But poor Aunt Charity's days we're
near their end, and ! bore with her
with what patience / could.
But after five anxious years of
waiting, the true and full report of
the loss of the sAyero," Harry's ship
upon the far off coast of Africa,
came. One man had made his way
home through the dark continent
into Egypt and thence to New York,
and his account was published in all
the papers. Aunt Charity only sniff

ing
"You may be thankful that he had
not left you. He never though moth
ing of you, or he'd never went way
off there"
And I wondered through my tears
if Aunt Charity had ever cared
straw for any living being, or had any
feeling of her own, that she cared SO
little for the feelings of others.
One day soon after this she was
shut up alone all day with two law
yers, willing her property, as she
afterward said, to Somebody who
would have took care of me decent

But all these unlind words were
forgotten when, after poor Aunt
Charity's death that will was read,
and I found myself the heiress of

We had been in New York for five
years, and Gala was beautiful
woman of twenty seven, and I, my
darling sister told me, looked better
than, Fever had before, although my
next birthday would bring me to the
maturity of thirty.

We had mingled with society,
sister and I, and Gala had enjoyed
herself to the full and regained all
sher girlhood's happiness; and I, too,
would have been perfectly happy had
not thoughts of Harry's sad end
ever been before me.
During this time we had made the
acquaintance of Mr.. Winslow, a
man of fine personal appearance, with
full dark, flowing beard, and pair Of
brown eyes that reminded me so for
chilly of Harry, sometimes, that I
turned my head for fear he would see
the tears in my eyes. As I sat
thinking of this resemblance, one
morning, Gala came to me with a
flush on her cheek and happy light
in her beautiful eyes.

Tho Chicago Convention

Chicago, June 18-The local commit
tee of arrangements for the national
democratic convention. at meeting to-
day, decided to make number of
changes in the convention hall. The
stage will be removed from the north
end to the west side, and will have no
room back of it for spectators, q feature
which caused considerable trouble and
annoyance on account Of the noise, at the
republican convention. The platform
will be occupied only by officers of the
convention and associated press. News
paper representatives will have plat
form by themselves, with an entrance
for them alone, and the space will be
rallied 80 that they cannot be encroached
upon. The ub.committee of the national
committee will meet tomorrow, Judge

that the above plan will be adopted. Ap.
plication by newspapers for seats, should

Bloomington, June 19-The state pro.
hibition convention this morning raised
$2.7OO for campaign purposes. The
platform was reported at noon and adopt
ed without debate. 1t declares that
members of the home protection party
seeded from the old parties, owing to
the fact that managers of both of the
parties have persistently and for years
totally disregarded the interest aud vel.
fare OF the people. and have made use
of the trust placed in tieir hands for
personal aggrandizement, and to secure
place, power and spoils, while the peo.
pie have demanded in vain redress of
grievances at their hands. The prohibit.
tion party therefore appeals to that
only source Of power in this government,
the people, and makes the following
declaration Of principles:
First-The traffic in intoxicating
liquors is the great crime Of the world
and should be suppressed by Legislative
enactments.
becond-The sale Of liquor is a crime
aud not vice, and should be eoverthrown
BY police power.
Third-The state has the right to over.
throw anything that is destructive of the
lives and health or morals of the people.
High license, no matter how great, can't
mitigate the evil results of the traffic.
The fourth clause in the platform de.
nounces the action of the Illinois legis.
lature in refusing to submit the pro.
hibition amendment to a vote of the
people.
The fifth clause rejects with disdain
the proposition to educate children with
the money derived from the sale OF
of liquor.
ment of women.
The seventh declares in favor of a
radical reform of the civil service.
The ninth says every child should be
educated in schools, supported by the
state, and should be taught the effect OF
alcohol upon the human organization.
The tenth and final clause opposes all
forms of competition between convict
and honest labor.
The platform adopted ratifes the plat,
form of the national republican conven.
ton as sufficient for all matters of ma.
tionsl scope, and heartily endorses the
nomination of Blaine and Logan.

Indiana Republicans.

Indianapolis, Ind, June lS-The re-
publican convention to nominate candi-
dates for state officers will be held in this
city and the canvassing in the interest
of the various candidates is very active.
The principal interest centers in the
contest for governor, the leading candl-
dates being Congressman W. d. Calkips
and Commissioner of Pensions Dudley.
The latter did not reach the city until
last night, and had lost some votes be-
cause of bis delay. His friends are now
pushing his claims vigorously. The
friends of Postmaster General Gresham
held meeting this afternoon and de-
cided to present his name to the conven-
ton. Calkins is largely in the lead, ind
the outlook now is that he will be nomi-
mated, possibly on the first ballot. There
will be spirited contest over some
other positions on the ticket.
Indianapolis, June 19-The republican
state convention was called to order at
half past ten. Hon. Stanton J. Pelle
was elected permanent chairman. The
nominations for governor were made the
first in order. The committee on resolu.

Secretary Teller has notified the gov

that the experts failed to place among
the assets certain amounts due the COM

as modified will be considerably more
