A Surprise Party.


 A pleasant event occurred last evening when a number of young people, aecompa- nied, by Edward Janisiewicz' orchestra, dropped in unannounced on Miss Lizzie Welch at her home, 154 Hamilton street, and proceeded to take possession of the house. The genial hostess was taken by surprise, but proceeded to welcome her guests and in very few minutes one of the merriest of social gatherings was in progress and every body was doing his or her share in making everybody else happy. MT. James J. Coogan, assistant superintendent at the almshouse, was foremost among the merry-makers, and his fertile wit and general bonhommie shed the contagion of humor and jollity over all. At the bountiful ban quet that was served by Miss Welch he showed capacity that was no less continuous than his humor. The ta- ble groaned under the weight of the good things provided by the hostess, and even when the party had done ample justice there to there was still enough left and to spare. During the evening Janisiewicz' orchestra discoursed some excellent music and in a style that did credit to their musical pro ficiency. Among the guests of the occasion were James J. Coogan and wife, MT. George F. Neal and Miss Geterix, John J. Clerkin, Miss Kittie McMahon, Lieutenant Christie and wife, and many others. It was after midnight when the party broke up after having spent one of the pleasantest of pleas ant evenings.

Nm a Short Letter That Swallows the
 Whole Democratic Platform.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 20.-The following is copy of ex-Governor Hendricks letter o1 acceptance of the Democratic nomination fo1 the Vice Presidency:
 Gentlemen: have the honor to aeknowl- edge the receipt of your communication no tifying me of my nomination by the Dem ocratic convention at Chicago, as can didate for the office of Vice President of the United States. May I repeat what I said on another occasion that it is a nomination which I had neither ex- pected nor desired, and yet I recognize and appreciate the high honor done me by the convention The choice of such a body, pro- nounced with such unusual unanimity and accompanied with so generous an expression of esteem and confidence, ought to outweigh all merely personal desires and pre- ferences of my own. It is with this feeling, and trust also from deep sense of public duty, that I now accept the nomina- tion and shall abide the judgment of my countrymen. I have examined with care the declaration of principles adopt ed by the convention, copy of which you submitted to me, and in their sum and sub stance heartily endorse and approve the same. I am, gentlemen, your obedient ser want. T. A. HENDRICKS To the Hon. William F. Villas, chairman, Nicholas B. Bell, secretary, and others of the committee of the National Democratic con vention

CLEVELANDsS LETTER. What the Politicians at the Capital
 Think.

An1hAs
 WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-Governor Cleve- lands letter of acceptance was the chief topic of conversation in political circles here to-day, and it meets the fate common to all such documents in 8 presidential year. The Democrats extol it as an able, concise paper, while the Republicans belittle it as weak emanation from political novice. Secretary Post, of the Democratic congressional com mittee, regards it as a straightforward, con- else document, in which the Governor, in accepting the Democratic platform, is as full and explicit on the tariff question as any Democrat could desire. Edward McPherson, secretary of the Republican committee, char acterizes the letter as "Fweak." The absence of any reference to the tariff he considers an evidence of cowardice.
 The Post tomorrow in commenting on the letter will say: Governor Clevelands letter of acceptance has not given satisfaction to his opponents and we violate no confidence in stating that it was not expected to do so. If the author of that admirable letter had en- joyed the political experience of the oldest veteran and had been endowed with the tact of Richelieu he could not have been guided to a better result than that to which his own good plain business sense has brought him. It is true as he states that the platform needs no supplement or explanation It is long enough and plain enough. On that declara- ton of principle he takes his stand" The letter as whole, the Post says, satisfies those who had the most confidence in Grover Cleveland's ability to say the right things in the right way. It is 8 model of terse, forci- h1e English rhetoric and hard T,roct;ool sense Wearied with Blaine's platitudinous prolixity and Buffers ridiculous pot-pourri the country turns to such letter with a sense of positive relief

 NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 20.-A mass meeting of protected industries of this State met to- day and adopted resolutions indorsing pro lection as principle and protesting against any modification of existing treaties with England which will admit sugar and mo- lasses and other products of the colonial pos sessions of Great Britain on the same terms as imports from the Sandwich Islands and thanking Congressman Hunt, Kellogg and Gibson and Senator Jonas for their services in behalf of the sugar and rice in dustries. The renomination of Hunt was recommended and Kellogg was slighted in this respect as he is a candidate for re-elec- tion. It was expected that the convention would take some political action and the pol iticians are disappointed that it did not

FOUND DEAD ON THE GRoUNl

A Hospital Patient Falls or Jumps From a WtndoW-The Coroner to
 Investigate. Last evening about il o'clock James A. Cargill, an elderly man, whose son is Frank A. Cargill, of Cargil's Business college, was found dead on the ground under the window of his room, which was located on the upper floor of one of the hospital buildings. MT. Cargin had been at the hos pital since Monday suffering from cataracts over his eyes. He was in room with an other patient also afflicted with eye troubles
 The room had been visited three times within an hour by the nurses before his body was found under the window of his room. It is stated by the hospital authorities that the man showed no symptoms of insanity and whether he jumped or fell from the window is matter of conjecture. Dr. Moses O.. White, the medical examiner, was notified and immediately repaired to the hospital. The result of the doctors examination was that MT. Cargill died from the shock by the fall. The only external injury discovered was broken rib. Dr. White stated that he should request the coroner to investigate the matter thoroughly, that all the facts connect ed with the death may be brought to light.
