TOPEKA, July 4.-Tbose politicians who
were not engaged in celebrating the
Fourth of July. today, turned to tue sub
ject of the Democratic straight ticket
which was nominated here last evening,
aud their long wiuded platform. The
platform is just the opposite OF the Re-
publican platform. 1t contains over l,5O0
words
The question asked most frequently
was: What are the Democrats up to-"
The older politicians can hardly screw
their credulity up to the point. where they
can believe that the Democrats really
meant TO make straight-out fight
and vote for the ticket which they
named with so much gusto. Many of
them will individually fuse with the Pop
ulists They will give the Populists their
votes, these incredulous politicians say.
But the face of things does not wholly
bear them out. The ticket is made up OF
straight-out Democrats with a staunch
Democrat, David Overmyer, at its head.
They will all resent being put up rs doll
babies TO be knocked down in sham war
fare. They will undoubtedly make e
fight as Democrats and for Democratic
principles.
They have freshly budded enthusiasm
and they will, as Il natural ebuilition OF
that enthusiasm, make speeches support
ing their platform.
How long this hopeful spirit will last is
another matter. a long campaign IS before
them and in two months they may be ex-
hausted in vigor and dissiDated In entbu-
siasm; and Lewelling and his crowd get
the straight-Out vote.
The following is a list of the state CEN

Gebhardt and John Garrett. Leavenworth

And tho Average Woman WIN Face Death
with Reasonable CaImness.
A young lady of Greensboro, Ky,
while recently visiting in another
state, narrowly missed horrible
death. She was walking upon long
and high railroad trestle with a male
friend and they were overtal1en about
the middle of it by lightning express
train They had sufficient presence OF
mind to step out upon the end Of the
ties and, crouching down, chung to a
water barrel fastened on the side Of
the trestle. The flying train caused
such vibration of the trestle and the
young woman was SO frightened she
all but lost her grip upon the barrel.
which would have meant horrible
death upon the rocks below. After
ward she said she did not think IN this
moment of great peru Of her father,
mother or sweetheart, or the little
sins of her past life, bat Only of the
fact that the greasy barrel and cross
ties were running her new spring
gown This reminds the Greensboro
Messenger of the experience of q
girl at Russe1Rille, who, when run
down in a carriage with gentleman
at a crossing by a train, suddenly
found herself suspended in midair on
the pilot Of the engine, supported by
one arm of the gentleman about her
waist, while he elsnS on to the pilot
with other. She satd she only re-
membered that she had gone out to
drive with her shabby shoes ON, and
wondered if anybody was seeing them.

EMPIRE STYLE OF DRAPING.
acteristio of the empire style now so
much in favor, the beds Of the Napoleon
era having been usually placed in the
manner here shown, with one side to
the wall. AS will be seen, the curtain is
made in one long strip and is thrown
over two projecting poles fastened to
the wall. The front swag and jabots
should be attached separately and may
be omitted entirely. Sometimes one pole
in the center is used instead Of the two,
or a canopy may be employed in the
usual manner, from which to suspend
the curtains
The variations in methods OF treat
ment are numberless. Artistic effects
fortunately are not dependent upon ex-
pensive fabrics. Among low priced fab
RIGS suitable are silkaline chintz, plain
and tamboured muslins and dotted
swiss. When muslins are used, ribbon
trimming may be employed. Handsome
spreads are in order, and those gifted in
the direction of embroidering have here
excellent opportunities to exercise their
talent.

w. 6. GRACE, JR passing year since
then, however, w. G. Grace has added to
his fame. and he is now credited with the
record of 90 centuries-a record unparal.
leled in the history Of first class cricket.
This season w. G. Grace, Jr., made his
advent on the cricket field, and the three
Graoes live again In English cricket. His
score of 148 not out in a recent match Is
GOOD evidence that he Is we'll worthy OF
the great name he bears. I'd,
On Sept. II, In game at Hastings, DR..
w. G. Grace made score OF 13l, with
such bowlers against him as Lockwood.
Mold, Martin, Peel and Alec Hearne, all
first class trundlers. This score makes tho
third time this year the doctor has made
three figures. His first century was made
in 1864, playing for South Wales against
the Gentlemen of Sussex, when he COM
piled 40 runs. DR.. Grace is now in his
forty sixth year and Is almost II not quite
the best amateur batsman In England to-
day, But once moro has he to do the
trick, and his record of q century of CEN
turtles will be complete-a record, 1t Is safe
to soy, that will probably never be equal
ed. A great batsman, Mr.. w. L. Muir
doch, has said of him: III ever there was
q born cricketer, 1t is he, and although he
no doubt learned to bat in the same way
as others, yet am firmly convinced that he
had bestowed upon him at his birth that
exceptional ability which shone with such
brilliancy for SO many years and placed
him upon q pinnacle such as never has
been, or, to my mind, ever will be attained
by any other cricketer."

Ribbon Trimmings.

Ribbons play an important part in the
trimming of youthful gowns; also on
dinner and evening dresses for all ages.
Ribbon inches wide is required for
this garniture. MORE ribbon is prefer
red, but satin is also used. The collar
and belt are of ribbon to match. Black
ribbon is most used with black, blue or
brown dresses, white with gray or beige,
and delicate colors are chosen for white
muslin and light lawns, batiste, etc. A
popular garniture is in form of bretelles,
starting from the belt in front under a
horizontal bow, passing over the shout
ders, where they are tied in fanciful
knots, then down the back to meet two
rosettes at the belt. This much is fa-
miliar. The novelty is in the continual
ton Of the ribbons, two behind and two
before, to the foot Of the skirt, where
each end is tied in smart square bow.

to be found, especially in the form OF
money, on that occasion, but the loyalty

The Republican party Of today has

Hints For Amateur Glaciers.

Any one who wishes to insert ground
glass panes into windows needed only
to admit light can do SO at the smallest
expense by following these directions
from The HOUSEWIFE: A piece Of putty
as soft as dough must be tied very tight
~ into a muslin rag. This closely COM
pressed ball needs then to be rubbed rap
idly over the glass to be decorated until
an even, delicate white film grows over
it. When the film of putty SO applied is
beginning to dry, coat Of white var
nish should be laid on, and in a few
hours wonderful imitation Of ground
glass will be the result In case the anna
teur glazier wishes to work pattern on
the panes by marking through card

A Novel Tomato Salad.

Numbered with the many other excel
lent recipes sent out by Good House
keeping is the following: Take as many
firm, ripe, round tomatoes as there are
persons to serve. Pour over them boil
ing water; remove the skins and place
tomatoes on ice. Chop fine two onions
and CRATE a cucumber. Mix these in
gradients, after sailing and peppering,
with small quantity of thick mayor
najse dressing. Scoop out the cores Of
tho tomatoes and fill with the mixture.
Place on lettuce leaves and pour over
the red tomatoes the golden dressing.
This makes a nice course served with
waters or cheese straws.

Their Superiority Over tho Homo Products.
How Fresh Pork Is Transformed Into
These Staple Articles In the Great Cur

The United States is the greatest hog
producing country. The home market
increases one-third during the summer
months. while the foreign demand al
most doubles. About April the farmers
supply Of home cured pork, ham and
bacon is consumed. Then the great cur
ing establishments supply country
towns. The opening Of summer resorts,
the picnic epidemic, add another impe-
tus to trade. That and apartment house
living have greatly increased the demand
for all sorts of preserved food. Despite
the skill with which meat delicacies arc
now preserved, ham and bacon have a
staple claim upon the American stom.

Remarkable is the effect Of smoke an6

cially the fat part. Bacon has come
to be the rival Of codliver oil as a
cure for consumption. The home cured

even temperature Of 40 degrees is re-
quired to cure all meats. This mild
winter temperature is uniformly kept
the year round in the curing rooms,
which are generally 80 feet under
ground. Desired temperature is secured
now by a wonderful refrigerating sys-
tenn, in which ammonia is expanded by
the application of steam heat into a gas

by a food of running water. The second

The Queer ArmOr of Football Players.

The armor of football players is fear
fully and wonderfully made. The most
striking feature of the equipment is the
"head harness. 1t Is tho result OF an
evolution. First the rubber mouthpiecc,
which gives the intensely excited player
something to clinch his teeth on and
thereby prevent the breaking Of the same
by some sudden shock, was invented.
Then the nose mask was designed by some
ono to protect nasal bone already frac.
tured from further injury. Now 1t Is to
come into general use as q preventive OF
the first injury.
Then came the padded guards for the
ears, which seemed to suffer a good deal
in tho rushes. But previous to this shin
protectors made of canvas and whalebono
had been added to the quilted canvas
knickerbockers and the tightly laced can
vas jacket.
For the protection of the abdomen an
ingenious arrangement of wire, cotton and
chamios skin was produced to I'LL q long
felt want, and q ready sale was found Tor
elastic caps and supporters for shoulders,
elbows, forear1ns, kneecaps, ankles and
wrists. An aspiring athlete clad In all OF
these extraneous adjuncts to the football
players outfit would be safe from injury
by anything short Of railroad collision.
The elaborate headgear is made of light
watch spring steel, leather straps with
lambs wool facings and vulcanized rub

lamb skin next to the flesh, passes across
the forehead to the rear Of the head. A
center strap, similarly constructed, passes
back over the head. From the encircling
band are wide PADDED straps, which en-:
compass the ears in horseshoe shape and
extend we'll forward to the checks.
The rubber nose mask, a stiff affair, ex'
tending over the mouth and to the chin
line, Is attached to the forehead strap and
the cheek pieces Four little slots in its
widest part permit breathing. The whole

zero temperature. This cold brine may
be pumped through miles of pipe, chill
ing the rooms through which it passes
by radiation, just as buildings are heat

same ammonia is used continuously

commonly called animal heat, are ex-
tracted from the flesh. For weeks each
joint of the ham lies in a solution Of
salt, graduated sugar and other ingre-
dients-a secret formula perfected by
long experience and variously utilized
by makers of different brands When
the meat is thoroughly impregnated
with the salt, it is said to be "cured. "
Washed in cold water, it is then ready
for the process of smoking
Cured" and ''smoked," every ham,
every bacon, has It's own modiste. The

the home cured product concealed its

The cutter, with huge shears, clothes
the ham, lays it on the cloth and out
lines it with great dexterity, while
swift fingers sew it into the shapes with
which we are familiar.
Comparatively few housekeepers
choose ham intelligently. There are
three cardinal points to be observed: l.
Avoid too lean joint. Let it be we'll
rounded and plump and see that the
skin is thin and pliable. Remember
that, while little extra fat is loss in
weight, it is gain in the superior
qualities Of every other ounce Of the
meat. 2. Choose freshly cured hams
The modern process makes new cured
hams possible every day in the year.
The more recently the joint has como
from the curing cask the better it will
taste, for hams do not improve with
age. 8. The size of the ham has much tc
do with the way in which it should be
served. A whole ham will boil more sat.
isfactorily than. part Of it. For hroil-
ing or frying never use ham Of less
than IA pounds, and one weighing Is
or 18 pounds is preferable. Only the GEN.
ter of such ham should be sliced.
The slices should never be cut more
than one-fourth Of an inch thick. One
sixth Of an inch is better. A very sharp
knife must be used Trim very closely
the skin from the upper side Of each
alice, and also cut from the other edge

that has been somewhat hardened BY
smoking. Soak the slices in cold water
one hour before cooking; then dry care
fully with q napkin. Never use tepid
or hot water. It will toughen the meat
Cook briskly. turning the slices every
minute. Never allow sliced ham to be
cooked until the moment it Is to be
eaten. When left by the fire to wait
and ''keep warm" it will speedily
toughen, losing all its grateful juices,
and only q species of leather will re-
