BACHELORS IN LOVE.
4 Clever Picture Drawn, of Course, by an
 Artfui woman

A bachelor in love loses a dimple or two, grows melancholy. rcnds po- etrv and looks at the moon; is ner- vious about his necktie and his z lov- es; consults his aunt as to what kind of hats girls most admire changes the style of his frequently, but is never satisfied.
 His countenance is as changeable as his necktie. Now she has smiled and he is radiant now she has frow- ned, and he wears a furrowed brow and looks in at the apothecary win dows and thinks of laudanum.
 If his laundress sends him home bosom not quite perfect, it grieves him to the hearts core. He passes the most golden haired damscl with out glance. He goes no more to see burlesques. His bouquets are anonymously sent to the object of his adoration. He is hourly afraid of revealing his condition of heart, but makes it manifest unconsciously to all beholders. Fiendish passions dwell in his breast. He hears that she has been at the opera with young Welkins, and wants to kill him. He says ficrcely in society that he ap- proves of dueling, and that, should he call man out, he would aim al his heart.
 He would like very much to work hard and make fortune, but he can not do it. He horrifies his employer by entertering as an item in the ledger. "l ,O00 Anglen." He is seen to clasp his hrows suddenl y ai dinner-time. to the horror of the waiter who believing him to be chok. ing beats him on the back and of fers him water. He goes surrepti' ously to so-called clairvoyants who describe "a light-completed young lady, sir, and her face turned your way, and her heart in he hand, if only you can get over the cross betwiXt you"
 He thinks the cross is young Wei kins, and grows dangerous.
 Suddenly you see the bachelor ir love amazingly altered. He smiles looks happy. eats comfortably, an' mods to his old emeny Welkins Then you may be sure that he has l somewhere in his bosom a certain carte de visite. and the original 0 the picture has blushingly advised : him to "ask Pa.

The Republican Plan to Carry
 Arkansas.

Judge John A. Williams of Jeffer- son, one of the republican delegates at-large to the republican convent ion from Arkansas, has been dis cussing state affairs with Chicago Tribune reporter. We quote from that Journal of the lSth.:
 The Arkansas delegation talk glibby about their chances of carry ing that state this fall, but if any of them has a choice in the presiden- tial fight he earthly conceals it. Judge John A. William talked inter- restingly about the possibility of a combination that would end the dem ocratic dynasty in rocked ribbed Ar kansas. They expect to do so through that queerly-namcd organi- zation known as the "Whcel." It corresponds to the old Granger movement in the north, but lacks the positive and aggressive opposition to corporations which distin guished the old organization in the north. But the Wheels are men engaged in farming and wage working, just as the Changers were. The organiza ton was formed by farmers who were diseontented with the political condition of affairs. No profession al men are admitted into the organi- zation. ''There are a ,O00 members of the Wheel in Arkansas" said Judge Williams. ''I do not know why they call emselves by that name, but that has nothing to dc with the case. They have never run state ticket. but have elected nu- merous local and legislative officers This year they propose to widen their political work. August the 5 they will meet at Little Rock and in- dorse the united labor ticket. They will be willing to give us half the electoral ticket if we indorse their candidates for state officers, and l am inclined to think we can make q combination that will carry the state. .-Fayettville Sentinel,

Hard work will improve Yale's chances, and that the team will do that work no one doubts. Saturdays contest will be close one, but if Yale plays her best ball she should win.

 New Haven COuntY-A BombsheM
 Letter.
 The delegates from New Haven county met on the stage, with J. D. Dewell of this city, president of the Chamber of Commerce, as chairman. After voting to proceed to an informal ballot for district delegate Captain s. P. Crafts of Hamden nominated N. D. Sperry of New Haven district delegate. He said that the Republicans should send to Chicago men of wisdom and experience and that MT. Sperry had those qualifications. MT. Sperry had signifed his willingness to stand aside for James P. Platt of Meriden, but letter had been received in
 
 that he desired that Mir. Sperry should go to Chicago. This was bomb in the ranks of the Platt men. which was a genuine surprise. Judge Coe of Meriden presented the name of James P. Platt as fit representative of the young and growing Republicans of the coun- ty.
 At this point q uestion arose as to the scope of the convention and it was discover ed that several delegates were present having credentials only to the district convention. These delegates soon withdrew and the con. vention then came down to solid business. There was 6 call for the mysterious and tell ing letter from Senator Platt and loud doubts expressed as to the truth of tits ex- istence Captain Crafts replied: "I have not the letter, but there are several persons present who have seen it." Upon Q ballot being taken N. D. Sperry had twenty votes and J. P. Platt of Meriden 9, and MT. Sperry was declared elected and the convention ad- burned.
