lady's card is slightly smaller and of
the same proportions. Mems cards re-
main small and oblong. The engrav-
ing is in plain, clear English script.
There is tendency to return to the
joint card of husband and wife for

but their separate cards are still used
A young lady's name is engraved on
her mothers card during her first sea-
son in society, and in many families
this joint card is used until the daugh-
ter marries. The formula of wedding
invitations is unchanged, but a novel
suggestion is that of arranging the
words on the note-sheet in paragraph
form in lines of even length, giving
the appearance of a written note; the
old arrangement is, however, most
used. Invitations to afternoon teas
are the hostess calling cards, with the
date and hours engraved in the lower
the opposite corner. Large square
" At Home" cards are used for more
formal teas, for day receptions from
four to seven O'Clock, and also Tor
evening dances, musicales, etc. The
preferred stationery is white or cream
tinted, though some delicate neutral
tints are also used. Both laid and
woven papers are used, of octave size,
and in smaller sheets for notes. The
most POI ular marking is the address
across the top, in plain or in metallic
colors. Decorations are stamped to
suit individual taste, and vary from the
single initial to a full coat of arms

Leaders in the Movement Are

CINCINNATI, May 19.-It is more and
more apparent that the work of the
conference is of great magnitude and
difficulty. Whether this shall appear in
the public proceedings or not depends
on the skillfulness with which the sa-
gacious managers perform their pre-
liminary tasks. If the conference sue
ceeds it is likely to attract wide atten-
tion from the country, bnt if it dissolYes
in hopeless antagoniSmS, and thus
proves that there is no rational political
affinity between its component parts,
its place in political history will not be
conspicuous. A feature that has at.
traeted some attention is the apparent
apathy of the South. whose delegates are
not here in great numbers. Indeed. so
far as can be ascertained, unofficially,
at this hour, the Southern delegates are
very few. This sparsity of representa-
ton is not looked upon as wholly acci-
dental, when it is known that such a
man as Congressman Livingstone, of
Georgia, is here, though not as a dele
gate. 1t is said that he is here not even
in active sympathy with the third party
movement, but simply TO study the situ-
alton as it shall be presented by the
proceedings of this asSemblage. Sem
ator PETER, of Kansas, though repre-
senting the very center of the third
party movement, is also guarded in his
talk on the subject. Mr.. Powderly, the
leader of the labor interests, is like
wise not here as delegate. More and
more the outcome of the conference
becomes problematlcal. The widest in
terest has attached to the presence

Yesterday was a great day for the
Minnesota farmer. He had been wait
Ing the past twenty-eight days for a
little moisture for his wheat, corn, oats
and potatoes, and he had seen the clouds
roll by without dropping a bit of rain so
Dften that he was almost discouraged,
but yesterday his heart was gladdened
by copious downpour. Itrained in al
most every part of the state, and there
was also a plentiful remembrance by
Jupiter Pluvius over large area of the
Dakotas.
Observer Lyons reports that accord
Ing to the weather chart refreshing
showers of rain have fallen over the
northern portion of the state, especially
the Red river valley; also Montana and
both Dakotas have been favored with
light rains, and the prospects for more
over all the area named in the ensuing
twenty-fouf hours are very good. The
general forecast from the Office of the
chief signal officer says showers and
cooler weather for both Dakotas and
Minnesota. The storm is central near
Huron, S. d. Cloudy weather and rain
have prevailed over Montana, both Da-
kOtas and Minnesota during the last
twenty-four hours. The rain area has
been confined to Northern Montana,
North Dakota and Minnesota. Bis
marck reported .56, Duluth .38, Fort
Sully 80 and st. Paul .12 inch of rain

CATHOLICS TALK POLITICS.
The Repeal of the Bennett Law
Causes Rejoicing.
Special to the Globe

Speclal 10 tne Glope.
LA CROSSE, Wis, May 19.-Bishop
COtter, of Winona, celebrated poEtifical
mass this morning. Preliminary to the
session of the German Catholic conven-
ton Archbishop Katzer preached. He
made some slight allusion to politics,
and again at the convention he congrat-
ulated the Catholics on the splendid re-
suits accomplished at the polls last fall,
and said continued vigilance was nee
essary to prevent further invasion of
the homes and assaults on the liberty of
conscience. In regard to the Dodge
law, he remarked casually it was an
error that would be rectifed at
the proper time. President Gustav
Kaser, in his address. said the religio-
political question that agltated people
last fall was buried for all time, and the
convention could turn its attention to
other pressing matters. Nevertheless.
he. also advised maintenance Of existing
organizations to hold in check any fut-
ure adverse action. At the afternoon
meeting committees on resolutions,
state organization, press, constitution
and examination of books were appoint
ed. The report of the anti-Bennett law
campaign committee was presented. 1t
thanks Chairman Ludwig and other Off
GERS for the energy and efficiency of
their campaign, and recognizes the
services of many others in their efforts
to suppress the infamous Bennett law.
The report concludes: 1--WE are proud
of the success attained by our 10000
voters and their Lutheran allies, as eX-
emplifed in the election of the entire
Democratic state ticket and both houses
OF. the legislature" A motion was unan-
imouSly adopted that the anti-Bennett
law committee be continued, after an
energetic speech in favor of consolidat-
ing all Catholic elements, regardless of
nationality, as a bulwark against ag-
greSSionS like those of last year. The
motion for a committee to bring this
about was adopted. A resolution was
offered and referred for COM
mittee of seven, of whom five
are to be from Milwaukee, to
devise plan for Catholic fire insur-
ance association. A resolution was
adopted for organizing junior societies,
which shall be admitted to membership
in the state union without an admission
fee. j. G. Ludwig, of Milwaukee, Of
fered resolution for committee to act
with officers of the state school for
homeless children in securing proper
homes for Catholic children. A resolu-
ton was adopted for biennial sessions
after that of 1892, which will be held at
Green Bay. Also resolution empow-
ering heads of dioceses to appoint a
committee to examine teachers in Cath
olic schools. The convention will close
tomorrow, and in the afternoon will
visit WinOna by steamer.

DoNNELLY AND WEAVER.
The Minnesota Sage and Iowa
Greenbacker Have Turn-Up.

Greenbacker Have q Turn-Up.
CINCINNATI. May 19.--The first real
excitement in the convention was
caused by no less person that Igna-
thus Donnelly, of Minnesota. Every
thing was sailing along in cumbrous Sc
renity, with roll-call following roll-call,
on the appointments of committees, when
Mr.. Donnelly quietly arose and moved
that, to save time, the appointment of
committeeman by each state be CON-
pleted in lump, each state naming all
of its committeeman at once, including
the member of the national committee.
Instantly there was an uproar, and doZ
ems of delegates were on their feet
shouting for a chance TO strike the first
blow in the fight for or against the i'm
mediate organization of national third
party. If Donpelly's motion was
carried, the convention was i'm
pliedly committed thereby to the i'm
mediate organization and all hope of
poStponing such action was thrown to
the winds. Gen. j. B. Weaver, of Iowa,
was the individual whose lungs proved
the strongest. Striding down the aisle,
his white mustache quivering with pug
nacity, he pointed his long arm at Don
nelly and hotly denounced the latter's
convention on the sly to the most vital
action without one word of discussion.
Donnelly's sturdy figure, bolt upright,
could be seen among the Minnesota
delegates, his blue eyes flashing,
while Weaver stormed. The celebrated
originator of the Shakespeare-B Bacon
cipher restrained himself with difficulty
under the lashing of the Iowa man, and
when Donnelly finally got chance to
edge in word of reply, his smooth
shaven, clear-cut countenance was
flushed with passion. He disclaimed
any intention to take undue advantage.
Again there was prolonged hubbub,
ended at last by the bald headed, silver
bearded. genial chairman. Cunningham,
dextrously putting off for the time being
the inevitable struggle, by declaring
Donnelly's motion out of order. While
the skirmish was in progress, not a few
bets were offered among the spectators,
that the convention would 90 no fur
ther, but would split at the very outset.

DoNNELLY's COMMITTEE.
The Resolutions Will Be Well
Written-Perman Officers.

Written-Perman Officers.
CINCINNATI, May 19.-The committee
on resolutions met after adjournment of
the convention this evening, and or
ganiZed by making Ignatius Donnelly,
Of Minnesota, chairman. The committee
did not get to work in earnest for a
considerable time and no one appeared
to know how long it would'take them to
conclude their labors, and reconcile, if
such thing were possible, the conflict
ing elements with which they had to
deal. Gen. Weaver and other members
of the committee, who emerged at in
tervals from the committee room, pre-
dicted that the committee would do its
work harmoniously, and said that the
st. Louis platform would be taken as
a basis upon which to proceed.
There were all sorts of planks
to be proposed, and each one
would have to be fully aired.
1t is understood that when the states
were called Congressman Otis, of Kan
saS, proposed that this conference re-
affirm the Ocala and st. Louis platforms
aud appoint national committee, con-
Sisting of one person from each state,
to confer with the members of the
meeting to be held in Cincinnati Feb. %,
1892, at which DR.. Macune, l.. f. Liv-
ingston, l.. l.. Polk, Jerry Simpson and
others who are not favorable to a new
party will be the leading spirits. Mr..
OTIS proposition, it is said, was
warmly supported supported by Gen.
Weaver, of Iowa, and Ignatius Donnelly,
of Minnesota, and it will probably form
the basis upon which the committee
will perform its labors. The new party
men in this conference, who are hourly
growing bolder in their demands for i'm
mediate action, are determined to head
off the Macune-Poik-Simps contin-
gent, and to do that they are:exerting
themselves to have the convention take
such action and adopt such platform
as Will make new party a certainty in
1892. AS prominent delegate expressed
it tonight: 1--WE propose to strike while
the iron is hot and won't tolerate
any wishy-washy business" Prohibit
tion and woman suffrage were aired be-
fore the committee. Messrs. Macune
and Simpson are charged with lingering
so long in Washington after the ad
journment of congress that they have
become impressed with the ideas of
those who are opposed to action looking
TO the formation OF new party. The
committee on permanent organization
to night selected Senator PETER tor per-
manent chairmen. and there was much
rejoicing over result which came from
it. PETER was chosen On the sec
ond ballot, and then all the
other applicants for the honor were
made vice chairman. They are all
prominent men-Hugh Kavanaugh, of
Cincinnati, leading member of the
Knights of Labor; Powers. of Indiana,
president of the National Farmers Alli-
ance, and Gideon Delamater, of Ohio,
an old-time greenbacker. The claim is
made that there is much strength added
to the new party movement by the fact
that any one of these persons could be
called to the chair when questions af-
fecting their organization were under
consideration.

DISSERTATION.

Eva Mann to Appear in Play Pre-

NEW YORK, May 19.-Following the
dramatic developments in the mysteri.
Gus case of Robert Ray Hamilton, comes
the announcement that his alleged
widow. Eva, is about to make her debut
i'll the role of an actress. Coupled with
this announcement comes the one, even
more surprising, that the play in which
she is to appear will set forth the dra.
matte life story of the unfortunate mau
who is supposed to have met his death
among the tangled weeds at the bottom
of Snake river. Again the skeleton
which has disturbed the serenity of one
of the most historic families in this
country is to be dragged forth and ex-
posed to public view. 1t is promised
that the stage portrayal will bring to
light new and hitherto unsuspected
features in this remarkable case. Eva
will appear in conspicuous role.

dust has been discovered in the ink of
the will. As gold dust was not a COM
modify in Iowa when the will was made
in 1866. this point will be urged to show
the will must have been prepared in a
gold-mining country or in bank. An
drew j. Davis, over whose fortune the
lawyers and the heirs will begin their
greatest battle tomorrow, died fourteen
months ago. He never had a leglti-
mate wife or legitimate child,
lived in penury, boarding his
millions, and on his death bed was in
constant fear of being sent to the poor
house, and he could only be quieted by
giving him handfuls of gold coin with
which to play in his dying hour. His
fortune is vaIiously estimated at from
six to fifteen millions, and is probably
about eight millions. He was believed
to have died intestate, but last July a
battered old will was produced and
placed in the keeping of the court. The
musty old document leaves the bulk of
this great fortune to John A. Davis,
brother of the deceased, and the trial of
its validity will begin tomorrow.

FEW TAILS MURDERERs.
Four of Them Are Brought to
Sturgis for Trial.

SDeclai 10 the GlODe-
STURGIs, S. d., May 19.-Pete and
Nels Culbertson, James JulfS and Alvin
Marvin, the four men indicted for kill
ing Few Tails, were brought from the
range this afternoon by Sheriff Beaver
and United States Marshal MatthiesOn.
The officers first found Pete Culbertsonc
who, when informed that he and four
others were under Indictment for kill
ing the Indian chief, assisted in finding
the other men, sending special mes
sages himself after his brother. An
drew Lanter is expected tomorrow.
The prisoners display no uneasiness as
to the result of the trial. Although
quite reticent about the affair, they eX-
press themselves as confident of being
able to establish sufficient grounds for
the killing of Few Tails. The men do
not have the appearance of being des-
peradoes, though one wears long,
tlaxen, curly hair. The prisoners will
be arraigned for trial tomorrow, but as
United States Prosecuting Attorney
Sterling will not be present, the case
is likely to be continued till the fall
term.

and particularly Knights of Labor lead
ers. General Master Workman Pow
DERBY. IN an interview with an Associ-
ated Press representative to-day, just
before the convention was called to
order, said: "Many persons suppose,
because am not constantly booming
third party, that | am not in favor of it.
The truth is l look for results, and
neither myself nor the order, so far as |
am aware, care much how those results,
those reforms, are attained, so that they
really be accomplished. Distinctly, |
am not opposed to the formation of
third party, nor to the formation of it at
this time, if the delegates here decide
that the cause OF the people they rep
represent should thereby best be for
warded. AS matter of fact, am not
here as a delegate to the convention.
but to attend meeting of the general
executive board of the Knights of Labor,
which it was believed we'll to hold here
at this time. What was the purpose of
having the two gatherings in session
simultaneously? Simply that the men,
bers of the board wished to keep closely
in touch with the people who would be
here, and, as the board meeting was to
be held i'll any event. there was an
obvious advantage in having the two

place. A very large number of the
delegates are knights, perhaps as many
as two-thirds, but they are here not as
representing the order but as coming
from political clubs, or other bodies of
which they are members. A number
have signified a wish to know how l
would advise them to act on such ques-
tons as the Immediate third party gov
ernment OF which you have spoken, but
l have declined to indicate any course
of action. 1t is exactly such bossism
that we are fighting in the old parties,
and my life work is to arouse the peo-
pie to think Ior themselves. The work
ing men have always believed should
tie themselves to no one man or part
they will then be in better position to
dictate terms,
The courtesies Of the Cincinnati
