MRS. BEEM'S LETTER.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 15.-The following
letter from Mrs. Martin BEEN, whose hus-
band, General BEEN, suicided at Stanton,
Neb., some time ago, was received and
read last night at the session of the Union
Veteran Club:
Gentlemen of the Union Veteran Club.
l write to ask you that you receive and
discuss the report of your committe ap-
pointed to investigate the death of my
husband in open session, for these reasons:
A full knowledge of the facts attendant on
his death is my complete vindicatlon. The
worst I have to fear is that these facts
will not be known or be distorted. Either
| murdered him or he committed suicide.
The report that does not affirm belief one
way or the other, cannot be a frank ex-
preston of candid men and is unjust to
the living and dead. If the committee
believes that murdered him then / wish
the report and discussion to be public
one in order that the press which has so
far been my best friend, may have a
chance to scan the facts and motives which
led to that report. If the committe believes
that he committed suicide, | then have
reasons for giving it publicity. | wish to
call attention to the fact thatmy husband.
Immediately before leaving Chicago,
emptied his vault, destroyed all the papers
except those which reflect on his self APP

as if he expected never to return. He then
made will and in the postscript attached
thereto suggests that he is to be murdered,
points out the way, designated the proba-
BILE murderer, appoints committee TO IN
vestigate the matter, and finishes with the
statement that his threat to commit sui
eide was meaningless and made for effect
only. He had written for information as
to the needed ammunition in order that his
prospective murderer might lack nothing.
He then rushed into the arms of one thus
appointed to do the bloody deed and sur
prised her with the opportunity. The fact
that So, 900 life insurance, payable to his
sisters, may depend on his making
it appear that he was murder
ed seems to have occurred to few but the
inventor of the scheme. Nor does the fact
that by his own acts he had made it i'm
possible for him to return here and make
his living, seem to have entered into the
probabilities of my guilt. To be alike just
to your comrade and myself would not
take greater courage than many of you
have shown in battle. In the olden time
brave knights fought to death forthe honor
of unknown women. Today will brave
soldiers, of nobler cause than was then
known, forever blacken the character of a
woman against whom no particle of evil
dence has been or can be adduced. in order
to cover up the weakness and insanity of a
fellow soldier?

THE PYTHIAN ENCAMPMENT.
First Day of the Gathering at Newton,
Yesterday. i

NEWTON, Kan, May 15.-This is the first
day of the great Pythian encampment,
and the city presents an unusually AMI
mated appearance every building OF any
consequence being decorated with flags,
emblems and bunting Nearly LOO
knights came in on the early morning
trains, and every train since has brought
hundreds to swell the ranks. The four
Pythian regiments the First, the Second,
the Third and Fourth are here in good
force and have their headquarters in
Wright's opera house. At 10 O'Clock the
formal reception to the knights took
place in the Ragsdale opera
house. Mayor McQuiddy in an
eloquent address welcomed the visitors to
the city, which was in fellcltlous speech,
responded to by G. w. Reed, of Topeka, IN
the absence of Vice Chancellor Riddell:
The grand lodge convened in music hall
at Ii O'Clock and received the annual re
port of Grand Chancellor Holmes, Grand
Keeper of the Records and Seals Neibert
and Grand Master of the Exchequer Link.
One hundred and seventy lodges were rep
resented and the grand lodge degrees were
conferred on one hundred and twenty
members. The afternoon was spent In
grand lodge work and in receiving visitors
In the evening the Knights of --Pythias
dramatic company gave the visitors a
grand complimentary benefit in the opera
house. The grand prize drill will come off
at o'clock tomorrow Immediately after
the parade. The city has at least 5000
visitors.

A popular belief, current among men at
least, is that women enjoy dressmaking
Undoubtedly it is pleasant to see shabby
old gown metamorphosed into compare
lively fresh new one by the aid of judicious
turning, sponging and retrirnming. The end
crowns the means. But it is not invariably
a delight to woman 70 go through the tire
some minutia that precede the agreeable ter
mination There are numbers of women
who anticipate the spring and fall dressmak-
ings with deep groanings of spirit. Left to
themselves, they might fuss along with their
old clothes. But every true woman desires TO
look her best, not only in her husbands eyes,
but also, for his sake, in those of his friends
So she plans and acts and contrives, with
what skill she may, to save bis purse and his
pride To say the least, his unfavorable
comments SAVIOR Of ingratitude. -Harper's

MEM YORk DELEGATES.

New YORK, May 15.-The Democratic
state convention to chose delegates to st.
Louis was called to order at quarter
before one in the academy of music and
Frederick II. Condert was chosen temper
airy chairman.
Mr.. Condert, in taking the chair, made
a brief speech, in which he reviewed the
outlook for the Democratic party four
years ago and today. He said: " how dit
ferent the outlook to what it was, even
with our sauguine hopes of 1854. Then we
could only make promises. Now we can
stand upon facts and we say TO all our fell
low citizens of the country to whom we
made pledges: point out a single one that
we have broken 'Applause.) I'VE made
you promises when we were out of power.
Point out one of them we have not kept.
(Applausel.
At the conclusion of Chairman Condert' s
address the usual committees were APP
pointed, and a recess was then taken till :
O'Clock.
During the recess the committee on DEF
egates and electors, consisting OF one from
each of the thirty-four congressional dis
tricts in the state, met and proceeded, first,
TO select delegates at large. Governor
David b. Hills name was first proposed
but he received only five votes. The dele
gates at large finally chosen are as follows:
Alfred c. Chaplin, BROOKLYN; Edward
Cooper, New York; George {. kaines,
Rochester, and Roswell p. Howe, New
York.
The selection OF the congressional dis
trict delegates and electors followed

IINIONLlgOR CONVENTION.

CINCINNATI o., May 15.-The National
Union Labor convention was called to
order in the Odion. After the opening
address and appointment OF committees
the convention adjourned till p. m. 1t IS
clear that the chief difficulties before the
convention will be the preparation OF a
platform. The Greenbackers at their con
ference last night made little progress
towards merging into the new party. Inc
drift of sentiment as indicated in the
speeches which. prolonged the session
until after midnight, We're IN FAVOR OF
holding fast to the name and leading
principles of the organization.
The United Labor faction shows more
anxiety to combine, but their cardinal
principle of land tax is repugnant to the
greater portion of the Union Labor men,
The question of the union Of the two
wings will perhaps be the first to engage
both conventions, and it is not likely that
a platform can be created today.
Miss Hamilton, of Marion, Ohio, asked
to be admitted as delegate representing
the w. c. T. L. Her request was granted.
Committees were then appointed Oh per
manent organization and resolutions. The
chair announced the presence OF the CON
ference committee from the United Labor
convention headed by DR.. McGlynn, and
the convention authorized the chairman TO
appoint like committee of five to confer
with regard to the uniting OF the two
conventions. The convention then adj
jourDed till a. N, tomorrow.

AIITTlE MISUNDERSTANDING.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May 15.-The Re-
publican state convention has been thrown
into wild disorders all day over an attempt
to seat temporary chairman in the place
of Stevens, it being claimed by many that
he was seated by the executive committee
without a vote Finally Stevens vacated
the chair in favor OF Arthur Bingham, the
chairman of the executive committee who
announced that nominations for temporary
chairman were in order The convention
is still in session. The Sherman men
report that trick has been played on
them.
The convention at last elected Alfred
BOYD (colored) as temporary chairman and
as a Sherman victory.

sentiments of the state at the national con-
vention of the party, direct thoughtful at
tention to the fact that all the pledges and
assurances made at the Democratic con-
vention of 1884 have been fully kept and
realized; the allegiance and adherence OF
the state Democrats to the principles an
nounced by the convention are hereby
again declared, with an explicit approval
of the doctrines affirmed in the last annual
message of the president to congress, that
unnecessary taxation is unjust taXatlon,
that taxation for the mere purpose OF un.
fairly beneftting the few at the expense OF
the many is perversion OF the
national power, that the correction OF the
evils resulting from such a system Will
best serve the healthful condition of
American industry and enterprise and pro-
mote the public welfare; that largr sur
plus in the treasury, drawn by VICIOUS
taxation from the channels of trade IS
dangerous and indefensible abuse. The
democracy of the state is justly proud OF
the fact that one of its members was select
ed to carry to successful issue the last
national campaign, the contest for the
supremacy of the principles OF popular
government, and destruction OF the false
theories and corrupt practices which threat
ened the happiness and welfare OF the
Bmerican people. His wise guidance and
administration of public affairs, as chleI
executive of the nation, was eXhlD1ted TO
the Democracy of the land and to all our
citizens the value and benefcient results
of a faithful discharge of public duty.
During his incubency our system OF gov
eminent has been restored to the honeSu
simplicity impressed upon it by its found
ers. Integrity and ability have been
substituted for artifice, and lncapaclty IN
public places; the civil services have been
introduced in the management OF gov
of o,r millions of OF the
public domain have been restored
from the grasp of foreign ana
domestic spectators, and restored
to settlers seeking homes. The waste
and corrupt misuse of funds appropriated
for the building Of our navy have been eX-
posed and corrected, and the scandals
arising therefrom no longer offend the
moral tense of the people Thousands of
the names of deserving Union veterans
have been added to the pension rolls; the
right of every citizen has been maintained
at home and abroad; sectional hate has
been discouraged and friendly relations
among all our people have been promoted.
In the light of such achievements, IN
recognition of faithful public service, and
to the end that reforms already inaugural
ed may be fully completed, and IN
strict obedience to the mandate
of the Democratic and independent voters
of the state the delegates selected by this
convention are instructed to present to
the national Democratic convention the
name of Grover Cleveland as their candi-
date for the president of the United
States, and said delegates are further in
structed to act as a unit in all matters en-
trusted to their charge, said action to- be
determined by the vote of "a majority OF
said delegates.
The platform was unanimously adopted
as were 9 series of resolutions denounclng
trusts"
