To Hang Pictures.

In hanging pictures it is to be remem-
bered that although oil paintings look
better hung in the usual way, with a
sloping in from the top to the wall at
the bottom, yet etchings and water
colors often look better hung fat against
the wall A picture with shadows
should, if possible, have the light side
nearest the windows, so that the
shadows will fall naturally. Pictures
do not necessarily come in pairs, and
although often two pictures, similar in
size and subject, may find convenient
places on corresponding parts of the
wall, yet quite as often the stiff effect
by pairs" or companion pieces" takes
away the artistic value of both pieces.
Paintings, or any pictures should not
be hung so high that it is uncomfortable
to look at them, but some pictures are
of such large design or brilliant color,
that they look much better hung up
high than down lower. Mouldings are
much better to hang pictures from than
nails in the wall, and are not very
expensive to put up.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Rev. Charles A

of Plymouth church, Brooklyn: Rev. DIR.
B. E. DeCosta, of the church of St
John the Divine, and Rev. Henry VIII
son, formerly DIR. Rainsford's assistant

Mrs. Abbott and Mrs Briggs. have
taken an action the announcement
of which will undoubtedly be a
great surprise to many of the more or
thodox of church members They have
enrolled themselves in the auxiliary
league of the Salvation army, and by
this action have signified their approval
of the objects of that organization
Many others of influential position are
also enrolled in the army.
The auxiliary league originated IN
London more than decade. ago. 1t
was conception of Gen. Booth and
was designed to enlist the moral and
financial support of people of wealth
and standing whom the army could
not secure as active members
The first attempt to introduce the idea
in this country was made several years
ago, but not until about six months ago

THE PLATFORM.
The following is the platform as
adopted:
Section L The representatives Of the demo
cratic party of the United States in national
convention assembled do reafarm their allegi-
ance to the principles Of the party as formulated
by Jefferson and exemplified By a long and il
lustriouS line OF his successors in democratic
leadership from Madison to Cleveland: we be-
heye the public welfare demands that these
principles be applied to the conduct OF the fed
eral government through the accession to power
OF the party that advocates them; and we sol
emily declare that the need OF return 10 those
fundamental principles Ct g free popular gov
eminent. based On home rule and individual
liberty. was never more urgent than now. when
the tendency to centralize all power at the fed
eral capital has become menace OF the reserved
rights Of the states that strikes at the very
roots Of our government under The constitution
as framed by the republic
Sec 2 We warn the people Of our common

free institutions that the policy OF federal con-

has committed itself, is faught with he

A. Collier, of Tennessee, held that
mitted, and J. W. Orr, of Kansas, moved
to amend so that visiting democratic
organizations should be admitted to the
vacant seats, but the entire subject was
referred on motion of the resolutions
committee.
Delegate Cable, of Illinois, then
offered this:
Resolved, That this convention tender its
profound sympathy to that distinguished
American, James G.. Blaine in the heavy attic
ton which has befallen him
The reading was interrupted by the
loudest applause up to that moment.
When the reading was finished it was
adopted unanimously.
E. C.. Sweet, of the Maine delega-
ton, in behalf of the democracy of
Maine, thanked the delegates for the
sympathy extended to the distin-
guished resident of their state. God
forbid, he said, that the democracy of
Maine or of any other state should hest
tate to tender their sympathy in the
presence of that grim tyrant who
wiped out all political lines and leveled
all ranks. From the misfortunes and
bereavements which had come upon the
distinguished gentleman III the past
two years it might be said that one
woe did tread upon another's heel, so
fast they followed"
''Only in a democratic national con-
vention can we," said he in conclusion,
extend to him that sympathy which
we bring from every section and every
state"
An invitation from President Baker,
of the Worlds Columbian exposition,
was read inviting the delegates to
visit the grounds of the exposition,
and on motion of Delegate Bragg,
of Wisconsin, the convention then, at
p. H., adjourned until II o'clock
Wednesday.
AFTER ADJOURNMENT.
Immediately after the adj ournment
of the convention the committee on
resolutions met in the room set apart

How momentous is your responsibility, need
not tell you. If you work in wisdom millions
toiling in shop and mine and field will rise and
call you blessed.
The roll call of the republic attests that it's
heart and its conscience are with in our war
with the representatives of greed. The best
thought of our party is a platform that chal-
leuges the appreciation and invites the support
of thdpeople We can succeed, we must do
more; we must deserve success Above the
wrecls If need be, of selfish combinations, we
must scar temple TO the plain people and build
a shrine so broad that every lover of his kind
may know it The burden must be lifted from
the back OF toll, and to that end it has a right
to demand that whoever bears our banner must
lift it above the smoke of conflict and the din
of faction, that every democrat OF the union
may follow its lead in exultant and irresistible
combat
Let US not mistake The gravity of the stu
alton demands the broadcast patriotism and
every needful sacrifice Our work but begins
here Through the suns of summer and frosts
of autumn we must carry forward with I'M
faltering courage to q triumphant close. This
again must be q campaign OF education The
study of the corn field, begun in the west and
south. must be carried to every hamlet of

but action thereon deferred until the
next meeting of the committee. Most
of these referred to the tariff and silver
questions, the tariff resolutions being
of decidedly radical character, and de-
claring in substance for tariff for rev
enue only. There were half dozen
resolutions introduced on the financial
question, those from the silver states
and some of the southern states being
emphatic declarations for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver; but those
from the eastern states usually dispos-
ing of the subject by demand for

ton TO order. Hosts of democrats were
about the convention hall long before
the appointed hour, and by noon the
great galleries and the press stand and
platform were all well filed.
At 1850 o'clock the first shout went
up. A blue satin banner, the ensign of
the Horace Boies club of Davenport,
Ia, was borne forward to the conven-
ton floor, and beneath and behind it
came the rugged men who will sit in
the convention aGd vote for their
governor to the last ditch. Close
behind followed Bourke Cochran,
Gov. Flower and Lieut. Gov. Shee-
han, of New York. Behind the
trio came Richard Croker, and the cry
starved: There's Croker, there's the
Tanmany chief" While the New
@Yorkers were seating themselves in the
hall Illinois fled in on the right. The
sounds of band music and the rattle of
drum beats preceded a magnificent blue
banner carried by Pennsylvania to their
seats on the left
Then in groups and in pairs and
singly other states trailed to their places.
