tives of the old Greenback and Union
Labor parties and of the Farmers ALI
ance assembled in state convention here
Tuesday, adopted new name and put
forth a state ticket and a platform of
principles. The convention was the larg-
est that any third party has gotten to-

decided to call the new organization "The

the repeal of the state laws permitting the
people to vote tax in aid of railroads, and
SUCH d ClldnBe III the law Jnat no proper
ty shall be exempt from execution when
the debt is for wages or hire. 1t demands
the abolition of national banks and the
issuing of sufficient paper money to meet
the demands of trade, wants free and I'M
limited silver coinage and protests against
alien ownership of land
The Ticket Nominated.
Several candidates were announced for
each position on the state ticket, but the
nominations were all made without fric-
ton and by such decided vote as to show
that the choice was nearly unanimous.

secretary of state, is farmer, and has
been very active as an Alliance member.
The new party will open headquarters in
this city, and promises to prosecute an ac-
tive campaign. Following Is the ticket in

of over education of the brain and
neglect Of the heels. They're topheaYys
they carry the ballast at masthead. The
first requisite of style IN a woman is
graceful walk, and If mothers had their
wits about them, they would attend to
this question of carriage, but the truth is
that mothers in this country haven't their
wits about them. Their wits are pretty
generally at their dress-makers or some
other place. The Roman mRtrOn looked
upon her children as hsr jewels, and so
does the modern matrOD; but she doesn't
begin to polish them until she has lost
her own brillisucy, and then it's too late
to make a good Job.
The lady on the right in the third cut
IS clad in a superb travelling dress, Of a
mastic-colOred WOODEN stuff, trimmed IN
an original manner with green and gold
passementeFie, producing a very rich and
elegant effect. The hat is a chestnut
coIOred felt, trimmed with velvet, match
ing in color but somewhat darker in
shade, set OFF with shaded mastic-tinted
ostrich feathers. The other costume in
the same plate is of Parma-vioIa5 Pskiu,
and is very original in design. 1t has a
corselet over-bOdice of black merveilleux

sleeves also embroidered in the same
manner. The 6chu collarette of pearl

a matter of fact, they had been engaged
for six months, during which time they
very rarely met. Bakers people were
well of. and he had a very rich uncle,
among whose possessions was an excel
lent family living, destined in the future
for Tom and his bride. But the uncle
was a stern and conscientious gentleman,
and he was determined, before he definite

When Tom read the letter his first i'm

was to use strong language. But he re-
strained himself and fell to thinking over
the various means of escaping his duties.
fresh appeal to Mr.. StraightWay he
knew to be hopeless. That worthy ascetic
did not only look upon cricket as friv-
OIOus waste Of time, but he was a strong
advocate of the celibacy of the clergy.
Moreover, by merely asking the question
Tom might offend him, and this he GER
tainly could not afford to do under the
circumstances.
There was nothing for it then but a
pious fraud, and although Toms con-
science rebelled against the idea Of de-
celv1ng his vicar, who trusted him I'M
plicitly, he could not make up his mind
to disappoint Alice or to deny himself
the pleasure of seeing her. He might,
under more favorable circumstances, have
dined at her uncle's house in POrtman
Square, but as luck would have it he had
undertaken to conduct. an evening class
on both nights of her stay in town. So
he wrote a very affectionate answer,
promising that nothing short Of an earth
quake should prevent him from appearing
at Lord s, and he at once set to work to
arrange a plot for the deception of Mr..
Straightway.
The day before that on which he had
promised to meet his intended, Tom told
his vicar that he was passing the night

The style Of makeup is as novel as it is
stunning, but, of course, the material
must vary in color and texture according
10 the purposes for which such garment
is intended.
For the purpose of travelling cloak,
you must choose strong and serYiceabIe

linen buster is now regarded as belong

sins; but times have changed, and no mat
ter what the men may do, no woman

covered up with linen ulster, for, bear
in mind, there might be a railway acct

going to wear one.
Some women have an idea that men
never see things. It's a great mistake,
and I would say TO some Of my sisters
that it is quite as necessary to put water
behind their ears as 1t is to put powder
on their noses.
For certain reasOns-a very pretty
figure among others-sOme women hate
travelling cloaks and cache D0UssieYes of
all kinds and absolutely refuse to be
bundled up when they travel. To such
would say: Very veil, then; what you
need Is q cloth suit with light weight

himself greatly both on the river and in
the cricket field, had taken a very re-
spectacle degree, for he was by no means
afraid of hard work of any description.
Such men often make capital parsons,
and Tom was hardly less energetic in his
parish work than he had been in very
different spheres of action at Elton and
Oxford. But there were limits to Mr..
Bakers endurance; he liked an Occa-
slOnal holiday, and this was the only
point upon which he and his vicar, the
Rev. Septimus StraightWay, were not en-
tiTely agreed.
The Rev. Septimus was an honest man,
and took a severe and gloomy view of the
pleasures of life. He worked terribly hard
IN an East-end parish, knew nothing and
cared less about outdoor sports, or. in
fact, about any form of amusement, and
fully expected his curates to follow IN
hesitatingly in the extremely narrow and
steep path up which he led them. Hence
1t came to pass that Mr.. Straightway ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in find
ing curates after his own heart; the
young men were continually leaving him
for less arduOus duties, and the wears
opinion Of human nature in general, and
or the younger generation OF curates IN
particular, steadily grew worse. In Tom
Baxter, however, he really thought he
possessed a treasure, and the danger of
W O4A4L8 q Wiling morse 10 Q6dI4 never so
much as entered into his head.
Poor Tom did his very best to satisfy
Mr. Straightway's requirements, for he
really respected the man and valued i'm
mensely his good opinion, but, as has al
ready been indicated, he could not help
longing that his superior would enter a
little more into his own harmless liking
for occasional relief and sympathize with
his passion for rowing and all that was
connected with athletics
At the time 1 write of the cricket sea-
son was in full swing, but Toms duties
had not only prevented him from play
ing In a single match, but even from look
ing on at one a few hours from the roof
OF the pavilion at Lords. Moreover, the
University cricket match, in which he
took an absorbing interest was fast ap-
preaching, and he was sorely troubled by
the dread that he might not be able to
see it. 1t worried him during his visiting
and mission work, spoilt his rest, and oc-
casionally obtruded itself upon him in the
pulpit. Even the absent-minded Mr..
Straightway at length noticed that his
curate's mind was i'll at ease, and one day
he went so far as to inquire the cause.
Tom stammered out something about
being out of sorts, and ventured to hint
that he thought days holiday would do
him good.
When L was your age. Mr.. Baxter, I
never wanted holiday, replied the aus
tere vicar, @but you are certainly not
