THR WAR Is OVER.

We assert our purposes to be
Identical with the purposes of the
national cOnstItutlOn-"TO form
more perfect union, establish justice,
insur domestic tranquility, provide
for the common. defense, promote
the general welfare and secure the
blessings of liberty for ourselves
and our posterity." We declare that
this republic can only endure as
free government while built upon
the love of the whole people for
each other and for the nation: that
it cannot be PINNED together by bay
onets; that the civil war is over, and
that every passion and resentment
which grew out of it must die with
it, and that we must be in fact, as
We are IN name, one united brother
hood of freemen.
Our country finds itself confronted
by conditions for which there is no
precedent in the history Of the
wOrld-our annual agricultural pro-
auctions amount to billions of dol
lars IN value, which must within a
few weeks or months be exchanged
for billions of dollars of commodities
consumed IN their productions; the
existing currency supply is wholly
inadequate to make this exchange:
the results are falling prices, the
formation of combines and rings
and the impOverishment Of the pro-
ducing classes. We pledge ourselves
that If given power We will labor to
correct these evils by wise and reas-
enable Legislation in accordance
with the terms of our platform.
We believe that the power of gov
ernment-in other words, of the peO-
ple-should be expanded Gas in the
case the postal service) as rapidly as
far as the good sense Of an intelh-
gent people and the teachings of ex-
perience shall justify. to the end that
oppression, injustice and poverty
shall eventually cease in the land.

THREEFOLD DECLARATION.

While our sympathies as a party
of reform are naturally upon the
SIDE of every proposition which will
tend to make men intelligent, vir,
tuous and temperate, we neverthe-
less regard these questions impor-
tant as they are, as secondary to the
great issue now pressing for solution,
and upon which not only our indi-
vidual prosperity but the very ex-
isteDce of free institutions depend.
and we ask all men to first help Us
to determine whether we are to have
a republic to administer before we
differ as to the conditions upon which
it is to be administered, believing
that the forces of reform this day
organized will never cease to move
forward until every wrong is remdied
and equal rights and equal privileges
securely established for all the men

of heraldry,' said fashionable stationer.
"Ladies insist on having crests embossed
on their writing paper, even when tell
them that they are permitted by the
usages of centuries to use only the arms.
A handsome woman came in the store
one day and said, Mr.. B, / wish you
would put crest and arms on my paper
about the crest, and so l asked her,
Have you any crest with you? oh, no!
haven't any, she answered. You can
make nice one, can't you? l learned

For the arms | designed some hawk
heads on a shield, and she was delighted
Women who are interested in these
things should observe the regulations set
down for the use of spinsters, married
women and widaws. A specified frame
for the arms should be used by each.
The spinster is required to put her FAM
lily arms into a diamond frame, with
very simple adornment. When wom-
an marries, the arms Of her family must
be put on the same shield with the arms
of her husband. The-shield is impaled,
the wifes arms occupying one position
and the husbands the other. If she be-
comes a widow, the frame for her arms
again assumes the form of a diamond,
symbolizing her unmarried state, while
her arms and the arms Of her deceased
husband remain impaled as formerly

al HOTEL ROMANCE.
How a Newly Married Couple Were MSdo
Happy by an Old Bachelor.

How Newly Married Couple Were Mads
Happy by an Old Bachelor.
There is many sweet romance cher
ished by the visitor to New York that
is never dreamed Of by the prosaic, ev-
eryday people of business. Much Of this
romance is necessarily connected with
the hotels. In these old hotels every
room is interviewer with the history Of
hundreds Of persons, and every time one
of these persons is in the city the inter
est is revived in the past. One day q
friend led me down Broadway on some
pretext or another, and we finally paused
before the old New York hotel
81 stopped there on my wedding
trip, he finally bIurted out MY wife
wished it. Her mother had stopped there
in her time and on her wedding trip.
My wife was anxious to occupy the
same room that her mother had. We
had been married that day, and this was
our first hotel, just as 1t had been In
her mothers case, and my little ones
mind was surcharged with the romance
Of the thing But, like all young mar
ried folks, we had a horror Of being con-
spicuous and at the first didn't like 20
say anything about it to the clerks. Al
last, however, | mustered courage
enough to look over the register just to
ascertain whether the room--we knew
the number, floor and everything, as my
bride had figured it all up in her own
mind-was really occupied. We thought
we might get into it on some excuse or
another. Imerely desired to crafty her
But couldn't find the number at all
You can't fool hotel clerk very easily
ON such things, and in little time he
had the whole thing out Of me.
'Confoundedly sorry. sir, said he,
but that particular room is occupied by
a regular boarder and one of the cross
est old bachelors ever knew too.
THAT settled it, So went up stairs
and told my wife about it. There was
no help for it Our room was good
enough, but she thought it would be 10
nice if we could have the same one her
mother and father had There was no
time to think much about it, for few
friends came in to see us, and we were
dragged off to box party that evening.
When we came in, however, the room
clerk called me into the private Office
and handed me key to the cherished
room.
" 4 happened to mention the matter
to Mr. -, said he, mot with any
idea of his giving it up, of course, but as
a curious circumstance, when, to my
surprise, he told me to tender the use Of
his room to you at once He was going
away tonight anyhow, he said, for a
week and you could have the room for
week, and longer if you wanted it. SO
there you are No. he's gone. You're
to take possession just as 1t is
well, when told my wife, she was
so excited and pleased that she cried a
little, and when we found ourselves the
occupants Of beautifully fitted up and
decorated room-a room that looked as
if somebody of taste and culture lived
in it, the room she wanted because In il
years ago her mother staid young
bride, as she was-well, old man, you
couldn't blame me much for participate
ing somewhat In the romance. New

IN A HAUNTED HOUSE.
Rosina Vokes' Story Of Her FamiIy's Lola
tion In Crowded London.

AsV1Anh eOkeS story OF Her Ea1nlly's Lola
tion LIN Crowded London.
In everyday talk Rosina Vokes was
altogether and bewitchingly the Rosina
we knew across the footlights-the same
big, honest eyes, the same drolly STAG
cato speech, the same tossing Of that
fluffy name Of shining hair, and the mat
ter of her speech was quite as havorsome
as any lines her playwrights ever set
down for her speaking. 1t is pity she
never told across the footlights for all
the world to hear the story she once told
to favored few The Vokes family. she
said had returned to London from a
provincial tour, and intending to remain
for the season decided to hire house in
preference to taking lodgings. They
looked upon it as miraculous luck to find
house in an eminently agreeable neigh
borhood at a phenomenally low rent.
They soon found out the reason. A par
ticularly shocking murder had been
committed in the house few years be-
fore, and since then it had stood unten-
anted, its evil reputation intensifying
with every night its dark windows
gloomed upon the else cheerful street.
"But it was lovely, comfortable
house, said Rosina, "and we didn't
mind its story bit-in fact, we thought
it rather distinguished than otherwise,
and, as for spool1s, we'd all played 'em
too often in Christmas pantomimes to
hold 'em in any especial ave. Besides
we never saw any-nothing, l give you
my word, more fearsome than a black
beetle ever crossed our paths in that ma
hgned house. But for all that a more
uncomfortable three months our happy
go lucky family never spent The neigh
bors gave the house bad name and
hanged it. They took the attitude that
any one willing to live in a murder
stained house was simply an accessory
after the fact. My dears, never shall
forget the first morning I called on the
local butcher with a plea for chops
Send them to 343 - street, piped |
cheerily. The butcher turned duskily
pale. He edged behind his block. He
glowered at me over it, Three forty
three, you said, mum?' he gasped. Man
alive, yesp said L I'VE live there, and
we're not ghosts, or we shouldn't need
chopsP
''Well, the long and short Of it was
we could get nothing sent that wasn't
ordered at high noon, and then the
butchers boy had way Of firing up the
things from the bottom Of the steps
didn't want to come within grabbing dis
tance of the door apparently That was
hard on the provisions, especially the
eggs. No milkman would deliver milk
in the gray of the morning, not hel We
had subsequently to bring it home in
can. When the water pipes burst, we had
to sop 'em up with our stockings, while
the boys secured London for plumber
rash enough to cross our fated threshold.
We lived like Robinson Crusoes on a
densely populated island. 1t was borne
in upon us at last that it was a pity SO
much wholesome terror should 90 to
waste. So the last few days of our stay
there we took to burning blue lights
at midnight in the area window and
emitting hollow groans from the front

SPRING FEVER.

A man seldom has money and idleness at
the same time.
II photographs didn't fatter, there would
be mighty few Of them taken.
1t is not the tough, vulgar man who robs
you. It is the nice, smooth man.
The better man processes to be the
greater the fuss when he does wrong.
Pillars of society are often stiff and proud,
but think what they have to hold upl
1t is no disgrace for woman to make q
mistake in marrying Every woman does it,
A man has nothing to be proud of if his
children obey him because he is larger than
they are.

looking at a pretty clock. Ugly clocks,

FelIing Trees by ELECTRICITY.

Trees are felled by electricity in the
great forests of Galicia. For cutting
comparatively soft woods the tool is in
the form of an auger, which is mounted
on carriage, and is moved to and fro
and revolved at the same time by small
electric motor. AS the cut deepens,
wedges are inserted to prevent the rift
from closing, and when the tree is near
ly cut through an ak or handsaw is used
to finish the work. In this way trees are
felled very rapidly and with but little
labor. r.--London Tit-Bits.
