the Popuiists Give Him an Ovation.
PUEBLO, Coll, Sept. 5.-The State
Populist convention of Colorado recon-
vened to-day at o'clock. The commit
tee on credentials reported in favor of
reseatiug the full Waite delegation from
Arapahoe county.
The report was adopted, and the anti
Waite men, headed by Il. NJ. Patterson,
editor of the ROcky Mountain NeicS of
Denver, tried to precipitate riot, and
it was only by the efforts of the chair
man that the delegates were prevented
from throwing Patterson out of the
building. After order was restored the
business of the convention proceeded in
an orderly manner.
At 1890 o'clock Governor Waite was
renominated by reclamation. The go
lady delegates asked the privilege of
escorting him to the convention. When
they arrived pandemonium reigned for
several minutes. He was introduced to
the convention by Miss Phoebe Cousins.
In his speech he said that he did not
consider the nomination us an endorse.
ment of all he had done. After the
governor had retired from the platform
Mrs. Waite was called for and received
an ovation when she appeared. Lafe
IL. Pence was called for and made a
short speech, in which he predicted that
the governor would be reelected by a
large majority.
The platform endorses the Omaha
platform, the initiative and referendum,
proportionate representation, and the
legislation recommended by the recent
State Labor Congress.

A Surprising Case of the Wrongful TAX

Punishment.

more will have to pay that sum out OF
his own pocket into the Golfers OF Uncle
Sam.
Berry has been receiving from rela-
tves ut regular intervals postoflice
money orders, the amount at each time
being $25 Yesterday Berry went into
the postofiice TO cash one OF these orders.
rho amount, $25, was not written
plainly, the first word looking more like
seventy than twenty. Clerk Skidmore,
after glancing at the paper gave Berry
an order on the cashier of the depart
ment for $75, which Berry promptly
cashed and left the office.
Some time afterwards the discrop-
ancy was noticed and In the afternoon
searchers who had been sent out after
Berry returned with that gentleman.
He was taken into tho presence OF the
money order department and the matter
of the discrepancy explained to him.
He admitted that he knew he had re-
ceived $50 more than his order called
for, but said he would not pay il back.
Failing to intimidate him into refund
ing the money the officials took him
before Postoflice Inspector tombstone
aud he was again requested to hand
over the funds. He again refused to do
it, adding, what are you going to do
about it2"
His question was a puzzler, for it
seems that there is neither Federal nor
State Inv covering the case. Persuasion
of every conceivable character was
tried but Berry was immovable. The
matter was reported to the police de
partment but they had no charge on
which to hold Berry, so he was not
arrested.
AS the case now stands, Clerk Skid
more is responsible to the government
for the $50 and there is no way in which
Berry can be punished

WILHELM SPEAKS PLAINLY.


He Glasses Opposition to the King as n
Mnnstrosity Significant and Sensational
Speech at a state Banquet.
BERLIN, Sept. 7.-Emperor William
made sensational speech last evening
at the State banquet which followed the
military maneuvres about South Alien
berg, at which entertainment the King
of Wurtemburg was the principal guest.
His Imperial Majesty had previously
struck from the list Of guests the names
of Count Won Mirbach and Count Won
kanitz, as we'll as those of General
klitzig and Sanditten, but the names of
the two latter were subsequently restored
upon the list.
Emperor Williams act plainly marks
his displeasure ut tho attitude OF the
persons named upon the agrarian ques-
ton. This Is confirmed by the fact that
the Emperor yesterday decorated Count
Won Doenhoetf with the order OF the
Red Eagle. Count Won Doenhoef, it
expelled from the conservative union
because he voted for the Russo-German
commercial treaty in the Reichstag.
Soon afterwards Emperor William
showed his approval of the counts
action and he has now made his posi-
ton clearer by honoring Won Doenhoeff
with the order of the Red Eagle.
The guests at last nights banquet
were members of the highest nobility
and included among them all the great
civil and military officers Of the prov
ince
After the Emperor had toasted the
King of Wurtemburg and the latter had
responed, His Imerial Majesty began
speech which caused the deepest i'm
preston. The exclusion Of Count Ven
Mirbuch and Count Won Kanitz from
the list of guests had in measure pre-
pared the way for the direct admonition
which the Emperor, in emphatic tones,
administered. But his words created
no less effect
After few words of thanks for his
reception Emperor William said:
"When was here four years ago l
emphasized the fact that in East Prussia,
where the people arc chiefly farmers,
you must before all, preserve and main
tain capable peasantry and as such
they would be pillar of support to my
monarchy. Hence my constant endeavor
whenever the opportunity arises to fos-
ter the welfare and economic improve
ment of East Prussia. The past four
years of grievous cares have weighed
upon the farmer and it appears to me
that under this influence doubt has
arisen in regard to my promises and as
to whether l should be able to keep
them.
"Nay, l found myself compelled to
observe with a sore heart, that the
circles of nobility standing near the
throne my best intentions were misun-
derstood and to u certain extend COM
batted.
NAY, more, word of opposition has
been brought to my ears. Gentlemen,
opposition of Prussian mobiles to their
king is monstrosity. They are justi-
fed in forming an opposition only when
they know the King to be at their head.
This is n lesson taught by the history of
our house."

bOSpOn AuNeFusuTs
Dr. Auagnos told me some amusing
stories about the quaint old way that
blind children usually have of ex.
pressing themselves. This is due to the
fact that blind children are thrown
almost altogether for companionship
with grown people, and so uncon-
sclously they imbibe the same manner
of speech. A short time ago a little
child was entered at the institution by
its aunt, who was school teacher.
When she left the child she said: "Now,
shall expect you to get the matron to
write letter for you to me before long"
Some time passed, and the matron said
to the little girl: "Isn't it about time
that we wrote that letter to your auntie?"
rnc little mite of humanity looked up
brightly AMI said; "Now, that is what
should style coincidence, for | was
just about to remark upon the necessity
of forming my ideas at once" At his
same institution | was much interested
in watching the little ones write. They
placed the paper upon board of raised
lines and, guided by them, wrote an
even, well-formed hand.

CosCERyIAG BUCKLES.
Popular Fancies when Arc Adopted by
10th sexes.

i'Otu StAeN.
The world has gone daft on the sub
ject of buckles 1t would be no great
surprise il knee buckles were TO be re-
viyed. Indeed, the bicycle rider has
already begun to ornament his suit with
small buckles and it will not take long
for the fad to become popular il some
one in high circles gives it q little i'm.
petus.
Silver belt buckles are amazingly
popular with both sexes, and all posi-
BILE variations are being devised by sill
yer fanciers. The girl with the fetching
shirt waist and well hanging skirt is mot
quite au fait without white canvas
belt with buckle of recent design. Ex-
travagant girls wear them on the belts
of their bathing suits, Notwithstanding
the fact that salt water furnishes the sill
yer in one dipping.
The young man who lives in tennis
shirt, and dislikes to have the contour of
his well-developed chest broken by sus-
penders, wears belt which glories in a
beautiful buckle, and bitches up the
unruly trousers without murmur.
Another feminine fad which the
young gentlemen have adopted is the
silver buckle for the band Of a straw
hat. A young man recently showed me
his palmetto with an open work buckle
which he said he had made to order.
Then, turning the hat upside down, he
showed me long silver pin with his
name engraved upon its fiat surface;
this was pinned to the sweatband.
However, the young men do not
monopolize this fashion-that is some
thing which they are powerless to do ia
matters of dress. And though silver is
preferred, many buckles arc made of
pearl and steel, especially when used as
trimming.

davit here alleging that the Communication
of the death sentence of John Koccis,
who was to have been hanged here
