Davis IL the Man.

In the last two or three days there
has been a remarkable revival of the
movement in favor of nomi-
mating Sheriff Davis for the
mayoralty. The absolute need
for a man in whom the party
and its workers have confidence is
~impressing itself upon the minds Of
all prominent leaders, and the dis
trust and dislike of Mayor Cleveland
are SO strong and so outspoken that
the prospect of getting any active
work done for him in the campaign
looks daily more and more hopeless
There are men who will go through
fire and water for Mr.. Davis, whowill,

Cleveland is nominated a There.

The Republican View of the situa-
ton.

The Republican View of the Situa-
ton.
At this time of writing the proba-
bilities are that the Republican con-
vention this afternoon will nominate
either MI. George F. Perkins OF MI.
Simeon B. Smith for Mayor.
Either of these gentlemen will be a
strong candidate, and call out the full
strength of the Republican party.
Whether they can obtain any indie
pendent support depends on the action
of the Democrats ON the Goth. The
Republicans have not found it over
easy to secure a candidate.
The situation has been a
difficult one for them. The prospect
is good enough to tempt any one
accepting the nomination to spend
considerable money and effort in the
campaign, while in its present aspects
it does not afford an absolute assur-
ance Of victory.
"Can you assure me that I will have
Cleveland against me?o was the ques-
ton that one gentleman, to whom the
nomination was rendered, asked of
those who called on him.
"No, sir, we cannot, was the reply.
'There seems to be a good chance of
his nomination by the Democrats, but
no certainty
"Then | will not run the chance
said the proposed candidate. 'If he
ran | would go into the fight, because
l believe l could beat him; but if /
had to run against Bob Davis or Al
Ian McDermott, or BEN Edge, or
somebody else who would bring out
the Democratic strength, what would
be the use of my spending the time
and money, and going in for SUR de-
feat?'
This gentleman was shrewd in his
generation. He seized up the situa-
tion to a nicely. If Orestes Cleveland
is the Democratic candidate then the
frauds Of November must be repeated,
or the party will be beaten out OF
sight. Any other democrat has an
almost certain thing Of it if nomi-
mated.
At least, we are glad to see that the
Republicans propose to nominate q
good man. That action secures the
city a good mayor, for unless the
Democrats also nominate an ire
proachable candidate the Republican
will be elected.

A lady staying a short time at n
of the hotels recently had the i'll luck
to break a soap dish of a valuable
toilet set. The proprietor said the set
was quite valuable, and that as it
would be difficult to match the set in
the matter of a soap dish, he wonld
have to consider the whole set de-
stroyed and charge her for it. The
price he put upon it was somewhere
in the neighborhood of $50. The lady
was hustered somewhat, but as she
had means she paid the money and
went back to her room Shortly after
her arrival there a servant rushed
down to the clerk and saidthat either
the lady was crazy or was being MUIR
dered in her room, and the clerk and
a couple of porters dashed upstairs.
AS they neared the room they heard a
series Of crash, and they broke in the
door to find the lady standing amid a
heap of broken china surveying with
much pleasure the ruin she had
wrought. When asked for an ex-
PLANTATION, she said she had paid for
the set, and as she had no use for it
at home she thought she'd have some
fun with it. The proprietor will not
be so much ION the CHARGE here

The famous Rutgers College Glee Club
gave an excellent concert at Bamber Hall,
Greenville, last evening. The hall was
we'll filled. The falsetto efforts Of the
leader, Mr.. Bragdon, won especial ap-
plause. His limitations of Patti, Levy,
and the manner in which he sang selec-
tions from Erminie and the other operas
was ludicrous in the extreme. Mr..
Smock sang several solos and was also
well received. Mr.. w. Stephens proved
himself a master at the piano, and, in
truth, all did well. P. NJ. Brett and G.

Decorative Hints,


Small corner cupboards are now
liked for fitting into the corners OF
boudoirs, studios and bedrooms, for
hiding away bottles and small things.
Some are of unpublished natural woods,
others in white wood ready for en-
ameling or amateur decorating.
That coarse mustard colored article
known as ''strawboard" may be used
for the panels of tall screen and the
backgrounds of small Photographic
ones. 1t is most pleasant to paint up
on and is firm and durable. Ii tinted
first, and then boldly painted with
oils, laid on thickly, and lastly var-
nished, or covered with glass, the APP
pearance much resembles china.
Large gilt picture frames with deli
cate tracery, such as are often found
in the lumber rooms of old houses,
are now painted white, and have a
cardboard mount covered with plush
or pale colored brocade fitted into
them, with various places cut for
photographs. This frame is put on a
small table in the corner of a room,
with q scarf arranged at the top.

EASTER B0NNETS.
A Rhapsody on the Sweet Little
Creatures with Their Airy
Decorations.

Woman, lovely woman How she
will enjoy herself on Easter Sunday.
The writer knows whereof he speaks,
for he has been talking with a mil
liner. Flower" is the word this year.
Last season the women's hats and
bonnets were bedecked with a wealth
of flowers, but this season, says the
milliner, there will be more flowers
than ever. Birds and feathers are no
more; they have served their time.
All the style this spring is flowers;
and they are of every shape, color
and kind imaginable. To set off the
flowers, green leaves and vines are
used in profusion; SO that the regula-
ton Easter bonnet this year will look
like u portable greenhouse. Perfectly
lovely it's going to be- In a word, it
will be q perfect luxury of gay
colors and beauty. The shape, too.
will make the bonnet unique; the
cutest thing, in fact, you ever saw.
The bonnets have come down-in
size, you know-and they are now
little shells of loneliness. That's all
they are-shells; especially SO the
prettiest ones, called toques. In the
absence of a lexicon, 'stoque" might
be taken for the French word for
turtle-for that is what they look
like-just like the back of a turtle.
Some are made of lace, which is
hidden under a profuslon of flowers;
others are made of wire gauze, the
framework resembling a iy-tray;
but when the ribbons, the flowers
and vines, the loops and ruffiing, and
uha Mt nrn ct1znrlffad fbAno 20
evolved the daintiest Easter bonnet
that ingenuity has eve devised or
deft fingers ever put together. Some
of the bonnets have streamers, those
of bona fide Partisan style; but stream
ers, said the milliner, don't take;
wherefore the very acme of fashion
will find few votaries for display OF
our streets. An odd looking hat that
will appear as soon as the weather
permits has the shape OF a mans
straw hat and is covered with oil
cloth. 1t is very plain, not at all
pretty, but will be worn a great deal
because it * odd. The only hat of
any size that the season affords is de-
signed for young misses, who want a
new hat every now and then, and
don't know how to take care of it
when they get it; this is made of
straw, as tenacious as leather, with
plenty of rim and brim, partly con
cealed under flowers and puffs of
ribbons. In ribbons the style runs
on Scotch plaids-a sort of checker
board series. On the whole the
Easter hat or bonnet is going to prove
very satisfactory to everyone save the
man-poor man-who's got to pay for
it.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

The head of the county ticket chosen
by the Democracy has been made the
target of assault for the opposition press.
There are two reasons for thiS-first, be-
cause X. t. O'Connor, candidate for
clerk,of the courts, is the head of the
ticket, and second, because he is re-
garded as all unusually strong candi-
dates. 1t goes without saying that
"Dick" O'Connor will be reelected,
and to secure this end it is not neces-
sary TO resort to personal matters or
abuse OF his opponent. Mr.. Freaney
may be good man for the Office. Mr..
O'Conn0r is better, if only because he
has completely mastered its duties and
responsibilities. Ask the bar of Ramsey
county. Democrat or Republican. and
You will be answered that r. L. O'Con-
norhas ably and eXcellently filed his
office and kept the records of the courts.
He has served the public long and faith
fully. and the public appreciates such
service. Ask the conservative indie
pendent voter. and he will tell you his
ballot will be cast next month in favor
of retaining in Office man who has
made faithful, satisfactory and unim-
peachable public servant. r. L. O'Con-
nor is st. Paul boy. and none is better
known about the city. His record as
alderman and his record as clerk of the
courts are beyond suspicion. When
YOU vote the county ticket place your
cross-mark opposite his name. make no
other mark on the ticket, and hand it to
the Judges.

Known Physician.
DR.. Frederick Dedolph died at his
home, $40 Summit avenue, at o'clock
yesterday morning. DR.. Dedolph was
one of the best known physicians in
st. Paul, having praeticed medi-
cine here since 1872. He was
born at Hofgeisen, Hesse-Nassau,
Prussia. in 1914. He studied at Mar
burg, Wurzburg and Berlin. and after
finishing his course became soldier in

the campaign as military physician.
He received many decorations for
bravery and ability. For two
years after the war he was ply
stefan for the North German
Lloyd steamship line, and made trips
in Asia, Africa and many other points
of the world. On one of the steamers
of the line the doctor met Ferdinand
Willius, of st. Paul, who persuaded him
to make this city his home. Upon sett-
ling here he at once took front rank as
physician, and made friends every
where by his genial manner. He left
will in which he requested that his body
be cremated. The remains will be taken
to Oshkosh, where they will be reduced
to ashes.

questions on your trip? All CT this is
pleasure to the traveller, while the
driver may be sitting upon the seat box
straining every nerve watching for a

face. 1t takes courage to sit there and
pierce the fog at forty or fifty miles an
hour. when one cannot see ten feet
ahead of him. But such bravery as this
is to be found on the rail. The men who
occupy the cushioned chairs in railway
service were ever ready to shovel when
