MURAT HALSTEAO.
A Letter from Him TO tho Dispatch About
Cleveland.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
find In the Dispatch the followlas
lines:
"Mr. Halstead has again and again made
the statement that that plank OF the re-
port OF the Committee on ResOlutiOns
which was stricken out by the Demo-
cratic National Convention OF 1899. was
Mr. Cleveland own plank. Whilst tho
Senate Is wrestling with the tirin. that
body might perhaps do well 10 ponder
what the President mas sad upon the
subject We quote Mr.. Ildlstead's own
words from his own paper when We say
that the following resolution was pre-
pared by Mr.. Cleveland himself As
frequently as this statement has been
made in the papers. We have never known
its accuracy 10 be questioned"
My object IN sending these lines Is 10
say that have no personal knowledge
OF Mr.. Cleyeland's proposal OF the plat
form as reported at Chicago. | have nOt
attempted 10 convey the implication that
/ knew OF my own knowledge that Mr.
Cleveland consented 10 tho report as II
was made Colonel Jones and COLONEL
Villas were known 10 be among Mr.. Cieye-
lands closest friends and Intimately ae-
quainted with his views. Baya'i, Whit
ney. Fairchlld. and Dickinson were OF
course well informed; and it would have
been preposterOus TO offer platform
so elaborated on the tariff reformation
without consulting the candidate who had
50 largely forced that issue. and was
especially responsible and interested.
There was. by the courtesy Of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company. wirs
for Mr. Clevelands use from the Chicago
wigwam 10 Grey Gables. and he was con-
SANITY Informed by gentlemea who un-
dertook that task as a duty. The New
York Evening Post has expressly stated
the particulars OF the consultation with
Mr. Cleveland over tho wire on the
money-plank and his prompt approval
a.Ser reading IL, and before IL vas re-
port, I. IL f. impossible not % b. sure
that the tariff matter was handled with
equal care. Tho final corroboration -
that Mr.. Cleyelands annual message tol-
lows precisely the lines OF the Chicago
platform, as reported, not as amended
and approved by the conyention.
As an eye witness OF tho scene OF the
amendment OF the platform by the con-
yention, was impressed that the ma
tority Of the convention were more con-
cerued about the candidate than the pat
form. I give you the grounds Of belef,

the talk OF hard times has had an in
nuence upon all expenditure, or whether
because sensible women have come 10
the conclusion that It IS unnecessary
to accumulate a lot Of gowns when
fashions change so often, there Is GER
tainly a great difference in the number
OF gowns women consider absolutely es-
sential for n summer or winter ward

even Is sufficient
There is. OF course. no limit to the num-
Der of gowns that can be had for sum-
mer wear. all beautiful and appropriate
and desirable, but arguing, as l am, from
a practical standpoint, and allowing a
moderate outlay of cash, it Is astonishing

NOTTOWAY COURTHOUSE, VA
June 2.-(Special. )-The ceremonies at this
place on Sunday last were OF much in
terest to the Presbyterians Of Nottoway
and TO the community at large. A beau
tiful marble tablet. set over DR.. Theo-
derrick Pryor's tomb in the rear OF Tie
Brick church." was unveiled, and the
new pastor, Rev. T. T.. Epes, was in
stalled with impressive ceremony. From
all parts OF Nottoway the people. old and
young, came to pay honor to the occasion.
The Rev. Mr.. Winn, of Petersburg, con-
Quoted the service, and preached a sermon
OF much logical force. The installation
service was performed by DR.. w. A.
Campbell, OF Richmond, who incidentally
paid high tribute to the life and charac-
ter OF DR.. Pryor. who preached near half
a century in this county. Mr.. Epes has
served churches in Shenandoah and Man
chester, and is most highly esteemed
here, where his many admirable qualities.
as well as his extensive social connec-
tions, befit him for successful ministerial
labors.

ROME, May 25.--All travellers agree that

celebrated. Their odor Is passionate in

WASHINGTON, n. c.. June 2.-(Spe-
cial)-Judge Brown is holding court this
week. Judge Armheld, being unwell for
the last two weeks, has been compelled
TO vacate the bench for a while, and Gov
ernor Carr commissioned Judge Brown TO
preside at Beaufort Court
The friends OF Senator Jarvis seem anx-
ious that Judge Brown should be the can
ddate for Congress IN the First District,
but the friends OF the young, brainy Judge
say they don't propose TO bite such bat.
The present relations between Senators
Ransom and Jarvis render 1t imperative
that both should be asked TO take an
indefinite rest and not imperil the Demo-
cratic party in the State by a factiOual
fight The party must enter the campaign
unfettered and with the greatest unity
in its ranks. The question must not be
who shall be senator. Ransom or Jarvis,

TWO WASH SUITS.
in ordering my summer gowns I always

wash suits ! mean duck and linen.
In a great many Of the shops these
suits are sold at maryellously low prices,
and look extremely well.
The colored ducks. such as tan with
little pin-points Of black, and the linen
Of the brown Holland shade, are the
most fashionable.
They are made with coat and skirt 10
be worn with shirt-waists. or with silk
fronts, and look neat and trim.
There is a great difference in the price
Of those made Of the foreign or the
domestic materials: but while the Ameri-
can shrink more. they are so much
cheaper II hardly seems to me worth
while 10 pay the extra price II. as | have
said before economy has 10 be consulted.

or muslin, must be included. and care
fully made mp and fitted. Il is the only
thing possible for luncheOns. or any on

The muslins are beautiful. and there
IS no end TO the variety shown in the
shops

with the full skirts with deep hounce
edged with embroidery and simple sur

a pretty belt and buckle and colored-
ribbon collar, are cheap II made at

COATS AND WRAPS.

gowns women should buy but have not

The Shaker cloak IS perhaps the best
thing one can get for evening wear du-
ring the summer, II at home or at any
watering-places. These cloaks. which are
made by the Shakers, at Lebanon, have
, distinctive cut, which marks them as
swell. They are very simple. and quite
without lining Of any kind
The Glengarry cape is also much used
for driving. II is a short cloak with a
hood made Of rough serge and lined with
some fancy silk.
