CLUBS.

The convention of the league of re-
publican clubs which adjourned Wednes-
day night, at Cincinnati, was not pro-
ductive of any startling results. The
resolutions are tame in tone and are for
the most part simply an insipid restate-
ment of republican platforms for years
past. Gllttering generalities are en-
ployed in dealing with issues on which
the party is divided within itself, and
platltudes concerning a free ballot and
pensions are not wanting. The McKin-
ley law is not specifically Endorsed; the
silver question is glozed over; the force
bill ignored. Early in the sessions of
tho convention "Blaine's magnificent
administration" was cheered to the
echo. Later on, Harrison's administra-
ton was given a perfunctory compli
ment, coldly set forth in formal words
and totally wanting in the spontaneity
and enthusiasm Of the premier's Grafton.
That the gathering was totally lacking
in the courage of it's convictions can be
Judged from its treatment of the foreign
immigration question. A resolution was
introduced recommending "such changes
in our laws as will etfectually prohibit
the immigration of paupers and crimi-
nails, and of peoples so alien from us in
their ideas and habits of thought that
they cannot be assimilated in the body
polite" A delegate protested, saying
that the words were "all right, but
they will be distorted by the enemy
with telling effect on the foreign-born
republican vote of the northwest. We
have had one experience and wanted nc
more To regain for the g. o. p. the
lost vote of "A large foreign born popula-
ton these words, avowedly call right
were so amended that they are of nc
force and effect. The telling effect" Of
an open stand on the silver question was
probably considered, and therefore
lodged. For like reason, it may be,

How He Surprised a swell and Defended
the Ballet Girls.
The talk that il going or about the mar
riage Of Ward McAllister's nephew with 8
ballet girl recalls an interesting incident in
the life of Joseph Jefferson. the comedian
says the New York Commercial Advertiser
When Jefferson returned from his triumphal
engagement in London. a number of New
York swells determined to honor the actor
who had made so great a stir in England
Accordingly a splendid dinner was given to
jefferson, and all the conspicuous rep
resentatives of Gotham swelldom were
there. 1t befell that or the very morning
of the day when this banquet was served
Jefferson's son Tom married a very pretty
and estimable girl who had been a member
of one of the spectacular ballots. So, dur
ing the banquet, one OF the guests "a very
swell %personage) referred to a newspaper
item in which Toms prospective wedding
was mentioned.
eyes, it is true,' said Mr.. Jefferson,
''Tom was married to day"
But it is not true, | suppose, that ne
married a ballet RirlI" inquired the ailsto-
cratic person.
Eyes, it is true" answered Mr.. Jefferson
laconically.
"Ah, l did not suppose you would allow
your son to marry a ballet girl" said the
other.
And why not?" asked Mr.. Jefferson
His mother was a ballet girl" 90
The aristocratlc party lapsed into a voclf-
erous silence at once.

How to Lay a Carpet.

Lay the Innings on the floor, putting a
small tack here and there to keep them in
place. Put the carpet on the floor, unroll-
ing it in the direction in which it is to be
laid. Begin to tack it at the end of the
room which is most irregular. Ii there be
a fire place or bay window in the room, fiji
the carpet around these places first. Use
large tacks to hold the carpet temporarily
in place: they car be withdrawn when the
work is finished. When the carpet is fitted
to a place, use ANAL taoks to keep it down
Tack one end of the carpet, stretching il
we'll: then a side, hen the other end, and
finally the other side. Be careful to keel
the lines straight and to have the carpet iii
tightly; for if it be loose it will not only
look badly, but will not wear ~well.-Ladies'
Home journal.

To WHOSE CREDIT?

Verify, the lines of the Harrison boom
for u denomination are not cast in
pleasant places. The colossal talents
and inventive genius of the chief execut.
i've of the nation are not appreciated
even by his own party. When Barnum
passed away and the nations merriment
seemed to threaten collapse, who was it
that threw himself into the breach, and
started on a grand tour Of the south and
west with Of the greatest one-man show
Of the age? When the dark clouds OF
threatened war were obscuring the sky
Of national contentment, who was it
that piloted the bark OF state amongst
the perilous shoals OF Italian diplomatic
correspondence? Who but BENZ. Har-
rison? And the result of all this labor
and expenditure of gray matter is
treachery and a foul stab in the back.
The republican league convention as
sembleds in Cincinnati on Tuesday, and
Ex-Governor Foraker took advantage OF
the occasion to laud to the skies "the
magnificent administration of the great
est living American, James G. Blaine
OF the nominal chief, the figure head,
not one word of laudation, not even a
passing mention. In the eyes of the ex-
governor and the republican league
convention, Mr.. Harrison, it would
seem, should feel himself honored to be
the catspaw to rake the chestnuts from
the fire for the secretary of state.
1t is pleasant to pass from the con-
temptation of foul play to that of ten
der, tilial devotion; from the league con-
v@ention to the columns of Frank Les
lies. 1t is no vamped up picture of
recent affairs that is presented by that
inspired periodical. Ex-governors may
rave, and republican conventions may be
led astray; but, while the sun shines,
the columns of Frank Leslie's will con-
tain the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth. "Look upon
that picture and on this" and blush for
republican gratitude. "From the best
authority" declares Prince Russell, 1--WE
learn that the hand of President Harri-
son has been firmly on the helm during
the recent outbreak of feeling toward
the United States on the part Of the
Italian government. When others adj
vocated Cancellation, he stood firmly for
the American side of the question. MI.
Blaine, after consideration, fully agreed
with the president. The president was
right. He has shown his Indiana grit,
and we are glad Of it." The Ole is the
voice Of Jacob, but the hands are the
hands of Esau. Which of these two is
descendant of Ananias?

The people Of Knoxville, Tenn, arose
in their wrath the other day and de-

in New York a few days ago, is said to
have been the first man to outline the

New York, the first of its kind in the
metropolis. In company with his son,

What Mothers Are Made For.

What Mothers Are Made For.
A home is what a woman makes it; a
daughter is. in nine cases out of every ten,
the reflection of her mother, writes Edward
w. Box in the Ladies' Home journal. The
training of the girl of fifteen is shown in
the woman of fifty. A son may, by con-
tact with the rough world, sometimes out
live his early home infiuences-a daughter
rarely does. She may make a misstep. In
discretion may be to her a necessary
teacher. hnt her early domestic training
will manifest itself sooner or later. A
mothers word. a domestic proverb, told
at event1de by the quiet Preside, has
been recalled by many a woman
years after it was uttered. 81 thank
God that my mother told me what other
women have been taught by the world"
said u gentlewoman to me not long ago.
This, my friend, is the tribute which your
daughter and mine should be able to pay to
our memories long after VIC are gone. The
world has n sharp way Of teaching its
truths to a girl. Is it not far better. then,
that her mother should tell her with that
sweet and sympathetic grace and gentle
ness which only a mother knows? The
flowers most beautiful to the eye and sweet
est to the smell, grow in good soil. The
worlds noblest women have sprung from
good homes.

Most people are fond of "ex-tremes." Those
who have never given the matter any thought may
consider this a remarkable statement, but let them
reflect Just a little and they will sustain our asser-
ton. Say for instance, your appetite is not as good
as it should be; you resort to relishes, and you
want them either extremely sour or very sweet,
very salty, or very spicy. 1t is with your other
wants just as it is with your appetite. You have
all the clothes you need, you can make this do and
can make that 90. All at once you enter a store
see some article which pleases your taste, as a good
dresser it takes something 'EXTREME' to allure
you to buy. We show "EXTREMES" in all
departments of our large store. No matter how
much your purse permits you to pay for a thing,
you want the latest ; something different from what
your neighbor is wearing, if possible, something
extremely stylish. We show not only "EX-
TREMES," as Just stated, but immense varieties
of new and tasty wearing apparel for men, boys
and children. Have you ever seen those "Extreme''
