A Bright Home.

Nursery and pIay-rooms should
have plenty Of sunshine. The an
cient Athenians attributed much of
their beauty and health to sun
baths which were taken regularly.
In some hospitals there isa uniform
system Of ''sun cure" where the
patient is subjected to the direct
rays oftae sun from different lengths
of time. Littlechildren should have
plenty Of sunshine. 1t is just as
necessary in or'ler to make them
healthy. as to insure the growth and
strength of a plant.
We live too much in the dark. II
is fashionable to have the shades
Irawn down. and so we draw them
down, regardless Of the fact that we
are shdtting out health and fresh
ness aud sweetness. aud inviting
mustiness and gloom and diseasr to
our homes. Have the walls of the
nursery painted or kalsomined: new

DISTRICT APPOINTMENTS.
The President Will Not Make Them Be-
fore Congress Assemblies.

1t is the purpose of the President now not to
make any of the District appointments until
after Congress meets, and, perhaps, somewhat
later than that
The reports from departments are coming
in to him quite rapidly and he is engaged in
looking them over in connection with the work
on his message. These and other important
matters render it impossible for him to con-
slider the District affairs at this time.
When the matter is taken up it is believed
that the first Office filed will be that of re- egster
OF wills. The two most prominent candidates
for that Office are Col. Amos Webster and Secre-
tary Blaine's brother. Secretary Blaine is
taking no part in the contest and there is a
general impression at this time that Col Web
ster will be appointed.
The President has two men in his mind for
recorder of deeds, one of whom will be sp-
pointed when the time comes. There is no
longer any sort Of show for Corporal Tanner
The new district attorney will be appointed d
in the spring. it is understood, and it is
more than possible that Postmaster Ross will
continue in Office until the end of his term,
which is about two years off,

Committee.
Special Dispatch 10 Tur EvrSrse srIa

Special pispasch 70 TuK EVENING" srAa
RICHMOND, Va, October q
The snti-Mahone republican conference sd-
lorrned this morning Of o'clock after making
arrangements TO thoroughly organize the state
against Malone. state committee was sp-
pointed, headed by Maj. Samuel NJ. Yost Of
seaunton as chairman and Hermans OF Mont
gomery as secretary. There were about three
hundred present from all parts Of the state,
ana nearly all subscribed 20 a fund 10 circulate
tner address and other documents.
THE RESOLUTIONS:
The following report was e,icptea by the
conference this morning before adjournment:
We, republicans from all parts Of Virginia in
conference assembled, declare thai William
Malone
]. Made i, impossible for the Norfolk ticket
2 He has deceived the national committee
by pretended compromise, the conditions OF
which he has not only made no effort TO carry
out, but violated both in letter and spirit
5. He has taken from the republican party
their plan Of organization. which was founded
on the will Of the people.
4. He has adopted q plan OF organization
his own, which is both hateful and tyrraniesl
s. He has driven from the counsels of the
party the ablest and most popular men IN IT,
6. He has removed county chairmen in order
to pack conventions TO do his will
Z. He has tried TO force the unit rule 10 carry
delegations 10 the national conventions 10 rep
resent him and not the people.
:. He has refused TO abide by the decisions
OF the national republican party in convention
assembled
3. he has refused to hear our grievances
and treated our oyertures for peace with con-
tempt.
10. He has placed himself at the head of .
ticket and labeled it republican without the
consent of the republican masses
ii. he has debauched the party and made
LOYALTY matter of merchandise.
II. He has meddled with and in many in
stances dictated county nominations.
l3. He has forfeited his right 20 the conf
dence of the people of Virginia.
IA. That the defeat of William Malone ID
essential to the salvation Of the republican
party.
10. That il is the sense of this conference
that no recommendation be made as 10
the course TO be pursued either by the
members thereof or those throughout the
voter on election day be advised TO take the
action his individual Judgment approves, look
Ing TO the end we all have IN view.
Frazier of RockbrIdge struck the KEY
note OF the conference when he said that
when he wanted to kill a rattlesnake he hit
1t on the head and then pounded its tail
TIL II couldn't wriggle. This was in response
TO Wises proposition to cross Mahone's name
out and vote for Slemp and Lurty The
sentiment of the conference was that
the triumph of Mahoneism was the
greatest calamity that could befal the state
and that il would kill out the party in Virginia.
Hence they pronounce that his defeat is neces-
sary and every one was urged to use such
means as would best effect this object.
1t Is believed that at least half the confer
ence were for voting the full democratic state
ticket as a choice of evils

WHO WILL SUCCEED TANNER?
Some Doubt as to Campbell's Appoint.
ment-Gen. Hartranft Suggested.

There is now some doubt raised as to the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Campbell Of Kansas to be
pension commissioner. 1t is understood that
Secretary Noble is anxious that he should be
appointed and considerable pressure is, of
course, being brought to bear in his favor.
The President, it is understood, is favorably
disposed to him and would make the appoint
ment but for one thing; he wants to get man
of wider national reputation. The suggestion
of General Hartranft of Pennsylvania for the
position is said to have greatly pleased the
President, and there is likelihood that il the
general viii accept he may have the appoint
ment. There is some doubt. however as to
whether he would accept, and Mr.. Campbells 8
appointment is not entirely out of the ques-
ton.

FIGHTING PRAIRIE FIRES.
A North Dakota Town Narrowly Els.
capes Destruction.

BISMARCK, N. OAK, Oct. 2-Destructive
prairie fires have been raging in Mclean
county, so miles north Of here, during Sunday
and Monday. The flames were driven by a
wind with speed Of so miles an hour. Houses,
barns, grAnaries and all their contents have
been destroyed, and the town of washburn had
a narrow escape, the flames reaching within the
limits. The citizens turned out en- masse, men,
women and children fighting with desperation
and heroism. The flames extended for miles on
either side Of the town, and the prairie as far
as the eve can reach 10 black and desolate

will give them all necessary assistance.

A Mysterious Double Trsredv.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 2-Aeager accounts Of
double tragedy at Ogems, Wis, reached here
last night. Charles Stevenson and William
Johns who roomed together, were found dead
in their beds. II Is not known that they had
quarreied and the motive for the crime cannot
be surmised, as they had been good friends. The
appearances indicate that Stevenson, in whose
right hand revolver was found had frst shot
Johns, who probably died without struggle.
The murderer then placed the revolver TO his
own head and blew ont his brains.
