Growth of women,s Feet.

"Don't wear tan shoes unless you live in
Boston," said great shoe dealer. "They
are au fat in that town because almost
every Bostonian is pedestrian and every
suburban road is dusty from the limestone.
II you live in New York, Philadelphia or
Washington, wear patent feathers with
dark quilted uppers. In st. Louis or
Chicago, go as you please. When it comes
to ladies' shoes, am astonished at
the continual growth of the feet.
Twenty years ago in st. Louis, Memphis.
and New Orleans we had steady demand
for lbs, rs and 2's. But all this has
passed. The pedestrian fad and the uni
versal desire of women of the south to
emulate the healthy feet of their English
sisters has increased the sizes and our
great demand to-day is for 3's and as and
SIS on the D last, with broad heels. Stand
on the corner of Broadway and Oliver
street any afternoon and you won't find
ten lbs and rs out of any 100 women
who pass, whereas the reverse was the
case twenty to thirty years ago. And
Chicago cannot crow over this item, for
that city is five times worse .n-St. Louis

Mildew of the Gooseberrx.

The claim has been generally made,
and as generally accepted as correct,
that our native varieties of the goose
berry are n1ildew proai, but according
to bulletin from the Michigan expert
ment station, when applied to the plant
in open culture, it must certainly be
taken with grave exceptions, since even
the Houghton, which most nearly ap,
proaches the native type, rarely, in open
exposure, wholly escapes partial loss
of foliage from mildew; while Smith
and Downing, with such exposure, very
generally III midsummer lose all save a
few of the terminal leaves of each shoot.
True, says the authority mentioned,
these two varieties, usually called ma
tives, may, from certain of their pecul-
iarities, not unnaturally be suspected to
possess a strain of foreign blood. Be
this as it may, they certainly are too
English in this particular.

MR.. AND MRS. Ho1MAN.


That was in the good old pioneer days
when early marriages were the fashion,
and when young people, instead of shirk-
ing the cares OF welded life for ease and
nominal independence, calmly looked
their responsibilities in the face and
bravely chose to bear them. There was a
minimum OF risk in this case, since the
young couple had known each other from
childhood and had been school children
together. Abigail Knapp had come to
Aurora with her parents from Vermont
when slender little miss, and the young
man Holman had always lived there, in
the house he owns to-day and uses as his
country home.
1t was IN the last year but one of their
schooling that they fell in love with each
other, and their marriage followed soon
after they left school. From that time to
the present, down through the long vista
OF fifty years, they have gone hand in
hand together, literally strewing their
pathway with good deeds and kindly Of
nces-he In the wide sphere of useful
PUBIC servant, and she In unbroken de-
votlon to her husband and family and in

An Anti Cleveland Man Selected for the
Temporary Chairman.
CHICAGO, June 20.-To the anti-Cleve-
land forces belong the first honors of
war in the contest for the control of the
Democratic National Convention. The
national committee this afternoon decid-
ed by a vote of 2S to 20 to present the
name of Henry Watterson's candidate,
W. G. Owens of Kentucky, as temporary
chairman of the convention. Mr.. Owens
competitor for the honor was William L.
Wilson, the tariff reform member of the
House ways and means committee from
West Virginia. The fight for the con-
troll of the temporary organization has
been going on quietly since Friday night,
little of what was being done coming to
the surface.
Mr.. Watterson entered into the fight
on behalf of his state colleague with
vim, and had the national committee
canvassed before it was decided by the
subcommittee to Suggest" Mr.. Owens's
name. There was fight in the full
committee over the matter, but Waiter
sons man won, % to 20. Maine voted
for Owens.

Judge Holman and His Wife Celebrate
their Golden Wedding.

Judge Holman and His Wife Celebrate
their Golden Wedding.
William Steel Holman, of Indiana, and
his wife Abigail Knapp Holman have
just celebrated In Washington the fiftieth
anniversary of their marriage.
So happy an event is rare in the careers
of public men in Washington, and when
the person most concerned is a national
figure like Judge Holman, whose name
and nicknanes of &C Great Director and
"Watch- dog of the Treasury are house,
hold words all over the land, the occasion
became an especially notable event.
Both Judge Holman and his wife would
much prefer to celebrate the day at their
old ancestral homestead "Veraestau,"
near Aurora, Ind, Nesting among the
Ohio River bluffs at the junction of the
Great Miami. But the exigencies of the
judges public life forbid his leaving his
post of duty even to commemorate his
golden wedding, and SO they arranged to
dispense the honors of the occasion in
their temporary Washington home. The
Holman children and grandchildren from
Indiana were present, and kilograms ex-
pressing congratulation poured in from
everywhere giving but an idea of the
countless friends the judge has among
the people.
Judge Holman is sixty-nine years OF
age, and Mrs. Holman is two years his
Junior. And yet in no respect can they
be properly called old. They do not look
old and what is better, they do not feel
old. They married so young that they
were but little more than children at the
beginning of that fifty years. epoch
which was completed on Thursday.
He was nineteen and she seventeen. His
father was dead and so was hers. They

nuptial knot

As to DIR. c1eveIana,s Age.

There has been curious dispute among
the biographers regarding the age Of
Grover Cleveland, says Harper's Weekly.
BY some OF the campaign historians he is
said to be fifty-seven years old, while
others make him fully five years younger.
Mr.. Cleveland himself, in answer to num-
erous inquiries sent him some time ago,
is reported to have given his age as fifty
five, thoughthe old jest should be borne
in mind that on this subject no man is
competent to give testimony. AS for his
birthplace, Mr.. Cleveland first saw the
light OF day in Essex county, in New Jer-
sey, in or near the little village OF Caldwell,
on the mountain-top back of Orange.
