Get "a Eoom on Account of the Circria-
tion of silver Stories.
WAsHINGToN, May fisherman presi-
Dental stock took a boom on the circula-
tion of report that the senators and rep
resentatives from Colorado, Nevada, Mon
tana and Idaho had appointed deputs-
tion to wait upon Senator Sherman and
ask him whether. in the event of his nomi-
nation and election to the presidency, he
would veto a free silver bill IL brought
before him for signature. The story was
denied by the senators from these states.
Senator Teller said it was all nonsense to
talk of the silver men uniting on Sher-
man; they had no such plan. In reply to
question whether he could name the
choice of the silver men for president.
Mr. Teller sail: "No, I cannot, for collec-
lively they have no choice They have their
individual preferences, of course, but they
are not for Sherman. We want presi-
dent who will not veto n silver bill il con-
gress passes one"
Are not the anti.Harrison people able
10 unite on anybody" was asked.
II believe" snid Mr.. Teller, "they will
unite aud defeat Harrison in the conven-
tion. He has not and will not have a ma
jority of the delegates"
Congressman Townsend of Colorado de-
clined TO discuss the presidential situa-
tion from the standpoint Of Sherman as a
candidate. Mr.. Townsend said Sherman
would not be acceptable to him as can
didate. "As for the Others" he said, II
cannot speak. am not prepared to say
anything regarding the probable effect.

POLITICAL FIGURING.
Conclusion S Arrived at
by HarrisOn's Friends
NEW YORK ROW SETTLED.
DON Dickinson Says Cleveland Will Be
Nominated on the First Ballot.

WAsIlINGTOS, May IA conference OF
the close friends of the president was held.
which included n number of high officials.
at which the political situation was care
fully considered. and an analysis given to
every scheme which the opposition had
put forward The result of this confer
ence. they claim, shows that the president
has strength enough to secure his renomi-
nation OH the first ballot. Some days
ago summary of the delegates was pre-
pared. showing the number OF votes which
the president then had.
At the conference the list was thor
oughly revised and is now complete from
their standpoint. II gives the president
4l6 votes on the first ballot, which they
claim are absolutely instructed for him, AS
follows Alabama 2s. Arkansas 16, Cali
fornia 2, Florida S. Illinois A, Indiana 80,
Kansas 8, Kentucky 70, Louisiana 10.
Maryland 10. Michigan 4, Minnesota 2,
Mississippi Is, Missouri 30, Nebraska 10,
New York 26, North Carolina IL, Ohio @,
Pennsylvania 9, South Carolina Is, North
Dakota 8, Tennessee 20, Texas 30, Virginia
II, West Virginia 12 and Wisconsin TO-
Total 4l6.
The presidents friends. IN their calcula-
tions, suggest the possibility of nominat-
ing him without the aid of New York or
Pennsylvania. This is regarded here as
one of the most interesting developments
OF n most interesting campaign and shows
the complete confidence felt by his friends
IN the present situation.
In thus endeavoring to prove that the
denomination Of the president is fore
gone conclusion. his friends assert that
they do not rely entirely upon the figures
presented with so much detail. They are
encouraged by what they claim is the ina
bility of the opposition to discover sin
gle candidate upon which it can unite.
The talk about Blaine as candidate they
regard as absurd.

Don Dic;sinsm Says That New York
WuI Co Solid for Cleveland

CHICAGO, May l4.-Don NJ. Dickinson of
Michigan is stopping at the Richelieu. In
conversation he declared that New York g
ballot would be cast for Cleveland and the
ex-president would be nominated on the
first ballot. "rhe New York situation has
been greatly exaggerated" said he, "and
there's no qnarrel there. Tammany is not
fighting and will not fight Grover Cleve-
land When the time comes you will find
the New York delegation supporting Mr..
Cleveland" Mr.. Dickinson declined to
answer the question whether or not he had
met any Of the New York leaders, but his
manner indicated that such a conference
had taken place. The inference is that
the New York row has been patched up.

SIMPLE pIsINEEcrANr.

Ground Coffee Burnt on Q Shovel Pre-
 vents the Spread of Disease.
 One of the simplest disinfectants of a sick room Is ground coffee burnt on a shovel so as to fill the atmosphere of the room with its pungent aromatic odor. If two red-hot coals are placed on a fire-shovel and a teaspoonful of ground coffee is sprinkled over them, at a time, using three teaspoonfuls in all, 1t will i'll the room with its aroma, and Is said to have the hygienic effect of preventing the spread of various epi- demic diseases. The odor is very agree able and soothing to Q sick person, where other disinfectants prove disa- greeable. Physicians who doubt the power of coffee as a disinfectant ire. quently recommend 1t as deodorizer, and it is certainly one of the very best and most agreeable. Most of the ex- pensive disinfectants sold in the shops have no special power as such, but are simply deodorizers; the two being fre- quently confounded. It is best, how ever, to obtain from physician in cases of dangerous epidemics something that will certainly destroy the germs of the disease, 3s we'll as deodorize the room.-N. Y. Tribune.

There are some patent medicines that are more marvellous than a dozen doc- tors prescriptions, but they're not those that profess to cure everything.
 Everybody, now and then, feels ''run down." played out" They've the will but no power to generate vitality. They're not sick enough to call a doctor, but just too sick to be well. That's where the right kind of a patent medi- cine comes in, and does for dollar what the doctor wouldn't do for less than five or ten. We put in our claim for Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery.
 We claim it to be an uneuualed remedy to purify the blood and invigor- ate the liver. We claim it to be lasting in it's effects, creating an appetite, puri- fy ing the blood and preventing bilious, typhoid and malaria levers, if taken in time. The time to take it is when you first feel the signs of weariness and weakness. The time to take it, on gen eral principles, is now.

oracuIar Observations.

The liar despises those who believe him, and hates those who do not.
 The woman who loves you is at once your detective and your accomplice.
 By the worlds law a man is held guilty until he is proved innocent-and afterward.
 Modern pessimism is ancient Calvan- ism with God left out.
 Some people would like to have an inquisition to compel iberality and toll eration.
 ToteH a woman you love her without doing so, and then to love her without telling her so, is the Alpha and Omega of Irritation.
 How exasperating are those sunny natured people who will never allow you to complain.
 Many a woman makes man perfect ly wretched because sha loves him So much.
 If were as rich as my right-hand neighbor, should have his faults; if were as poor as my left-hand neighbor, should have his. Being myself, have mine.
 A man who praises himself meets with general denial; man who decries himself finds plenty to agree with him. -TManley H. Pike, in March Century.

I MOTHER s CRIME
She Strangles Her Young
 Daughter to Death.
cHoKED THE CHILD WITH ROPE.
Mra Louisa sohooklsy's AtrOcious Deed a:
 Mount Holly, NJ.

Her Elder Daughter Saw the Murder and
 Was Threatened With Death if She
 Breathed a word-Tha dothar Said the
 Child Died from Fits, but When Burial
 Time Came the Laughter Could Keep
 silent No Longer.
 MoUNT HOLLY, N. J., April 19.-Mrs. Louisa Shockley is under arrest here charged with the murder of her 9-year old daughter, Mattie. The crime was committed on Friday, but was not dis covered until yesterday. For some req son Mrs. Shockley had always displayed aviolent dislike for her child. She beat and abused her constantly and kept the little one in constant terror.
 On Friday she ordered the child to get her some water. As Hattie did not obey quickly enough Mrs. Shockley took a rope and tied both of the child's hands and feet.
 She then put loop in the rope, passed it around the child's neck, and winding the free end about the leg of the stove, pulled on the rope, forcing the child to the floor. She then began to beat her, but the child did not feel it, as she was already dead from strangula- tion.
 Mrs. Shockley's elder daughter, Rachel, saw the occurrence and was threatened with death if she told any one of tine matter. Mrs. Shockley then hid the body until yesterday, when she laid it out for burial. In the after noon the woman's brother called and she told him the child had died from fits Rachel, however, told the whole story and the woman's arrest followed.

OKLAHOMA BOOMERS.
The Great Race for Homes in the Reserva.
 tion Just Thrown Open.

The Great Race for Homes in the Reserva-
 ti0n Just Thrown Open.
 KINGF1sHER.. Oklahoma, April 19.-The opening of the Indian reservation lands to-day is anxiously awaited by thou sands of people, who are taking the best positions they can find and making everything ready for the great race when the signal is given. The line formed at the land office four weeks ago was re- gently declared by the United States off, cials to have no legal status, but now it is given out that the Marshal will recog- nize the ''sooners," as they are called. Some persons are holding places in the line at day wages, and others are know n to be regular Oklahoma boomers, who mean to claim some of the best lands.
 The United States troops are clearing the reservation of all persons, and have brought in large number of boomers who had secreted themselves in the In- dian country. Hundreds of horses have been engaged for the race, and every available team will be used to take par ties to the reservation.
 Among the parties to arrive yesterday were 8 number of old soldiers. They could not secure good positions, and are disgusted at their failure to fare as we'll as some of the boomers who intend to make the obtaining of land matter of profitable speculation. The soldiers are after homes, and are greatly enraged al the slight prospect of obtaining them. They threaten that they will be heard from next November, not alone in Okla homa, but in various other States.

Embroidery As a earniture.

Embroidery is this year to be greatly favored, and leading houses are exhibit ing very elegant costumes finished with this beautiful garniture. These are of plain China silk, sheer and beautifully tinted wool fabrics, zephyr goods, French ginghams, organdies, India mus lins and silk grenadines. More beauti- full than ever are the Persian gauges for summer dancing toilets, with gay jar diniere borderings in shaded silks. They are to be made up over silk or satin de Lyon the shade of the gauge. These last mentioned exquisite fancies are not designed for general usage, nor were they intended for ordinary mor- tals. Fortunately, however, there are left for these little world of artistic and beautiful embroidered materials, which although less elaborate in de sign and far less extravagant in price, have all the novelty, deiicaey and beauty of effect of the more costly tex tiles and patterns

that 1t is unbecoming, what awful tor ture is the thought of wearing that hat day in and day out until new season brings relief. And it's very hard to tell how a hat is going to turn out. Some times the shape may be very pretty un- trimmed, and yet the finished hat may turn out 8 regular nightmare, and some times the combined colors look very pretty when they are punched together in the hand, and lol when arranged in proper form on the frame, the effect is-the most insipid and characterless that can be imagined. Avoid, above all things, oh, vvomanI an insipid hat. Rather have 1t too striking than have 1t tame, for the tendency of the day is toward brilliant and startling effects, and the quiet, unassuming combina- tions are decidedly old. This does not mean, however, that there must neces- sarily be gorgeous coloring, for many oi the most exquisite and attractive hats are those made all in one color and in one shade of that color.
 It is truly a bewildering task to se- lect a hat this season. The fashions have not fairly settled yet, and it is hard to say which will come out vic. torious. There are emultitudinous shapes to be seen at present-fat ones with tiny crowns that one can scarcely see other flat ones with crowns that reach almost to the edge of the brim; wide dropping ones with genuine stovepipe crowns; medium-sized ones with Tam OShanter crowns; big brims poke shaped; big brims that turn back-all sorts of shapes and sizes. The stove pipe ones are, in my opinion, at least the ugliest of all, and it is earnestly tc be hoped that they will not become the rage. But, in spite of their ugliness, greatly fear that Dame Fashion has marked them for her own.
 Almost all of the shapes are made o1 fancy straw. This fancy straw is sold narrow by the yard, and if you are dis posed to economize, and have a shape from last year that is still good and not much behind the times, it can be made very presentable by edging it with this | fine fancy straw.
 Streamers are becoming more and more audacious. There is positively nc limit to their effrontery. They are longer if made merely of ribbon; if ot chiffon or crepe, wider. One black hat that saw had a streamer of yellow crepon, very long, and half a yard wide It was edged on the sides and bottom by wide, fine plating of the same

softened and toned down that the effect was very pretty.
 Black hats are not very popular this year, although they are quite effective. fly trimmed altogether in pale yellow.
 Guipure lace Is brought into play very often. It should be remembered that its quality must be very fine to produce soft results.
 Here is a queer and original hat: Black straw, of funny, prickly kind, that looks as if there were bristles stand. ing up all over the hat. The straw is trimmed with three yellow pompona made of narrow velvet love-knot ribbon The rim is turned up off the face at one side and one of the pompons placed there; another is just at the same spot, but inside the rim; the third stands ur at the back. They are connected by fine black lace, which rises and falls iu graceful lines. The hat has no stream CTS; the lace falls down few inches al the back. that is all.
