Bowknots seem to have new lease
of life in chatelaine pins.
Silver photograph frames are among
the prominent preparations for the open

Silver gilt lorgnettes are much more
obtrusive than shell, but the fragility
of shell makes their possession con-
tinued anxiety.
A novelty is high manly boot of
enamel overlaid with perforated silver,
mounted on substantial base, to serve

The opal cut into different forms is

WARRING FACTIONS.
Elks Trying to Settle Their Differences at
Cincinnati.

CLEVELAND, March 22.-The cross ex-
animation of George A. Reynolds, who
was elected grand secretary at the At
lantic City convention of Elks, was fin
ished today in the United States court
and E. B. Hay, of Washington, the grand
exalted ruler elected by the Same faction
was upon the stand.
One of the CHIEF points of dispute to-
day was the removal of the trustees by
the former grand exalted ruler, Mr.. APP
perly. The attorneys for the jamestown
factions showed that according to pro-
vision of the constitution of the order,
the grand exalted ruler may remove cleo
tive officers temporarily for cause. As
trustees are elective officers. they argued
that Apperly had authority to remove
them. He then appointed five other trus-
tees who called the convention at James
town. On this point it was held that the
Jamestown convention was legal
The attorneys for the Atlantic City fac
tion brought out other facts on this point.
They showed that according to the laws
of New York, under which the order is
chartered. the trustees are instrusted
with the control of property and affairs
of the order and cannot be removed by
another officer of the order.
When the constitution of an order con-
fiicts with the state laws the latter takes
precedence, and therefore Apperly's re-
moval Of the trustees was null and void.
They further held that the removal
could not be final without the ratification
of the grand lodge, and the grand lodge
in session at Atlantic City did not ratify
his action.
They hope to prove to the satisfaction
of the court that the Atlantic City con-
vention was legal because the trustees
who called it were illegally removed by
Apperly.

THE STAMP OF STYLE.

Lusterless all wool crepons are used
for deep mourning.
Violets or half open roses are set
among the choux and fan plaitings of
lace on new collarettes for full dress
wear.
'sTrilby mesh' is the name given to
a new face yelling. It has an irregular
~ woven mesh in black much like the
Tuxedo yelling, over which are scatter
ed at wide intervals handmade chenille
dots in self colors.
Loveliest ribbons and rare French
flowers for Easter hats and bonnets are
shown. Milliners are going wild over
the exquisite display of artificial bios
SONS and foliage just opened in the
French importing houses.
The advent of stormy March, ''with
winds and clouds and changing skies, "
and also with its fogs and sudden rains,
serves as a reminder that waterproof
silks and other textiles are now availa-
BILE and successfully answer the purpose
for which they were designed.
Velvet is being prodigally used for
capes of every form and size, for blouses
and short jackets to accompany street
costumes and for dress sleeves and COL
larettes. The huge sleeves that fashion
continues to prescribe are decidedly IA
vorable to capes, and these in turn be-
friend velvet.
A good quality of black crepon, surah
or bengaline makes one of the best
standby" gowns that woman can
nossess. and in these days of separate
waists and of separate adjustable vel
vet stock collars, collarettes and dainty
lace neckwear the black dress can be
changed in effect as often as desired. -

CHICAGO, March 22-Fire in the
square match company's works at Union
and Erie streets today caused a panic
among the fifty girl employees. One was
perhaps fatally burned and three others
seriously injured by jumping from the
second story windows.
The injured are: Annie Hans Jennie
Warner, Roy Tate, unknown girl
The injured were removed to a hos
pital, whore it was said ali would recover
with possible exception of Annie Hans,
who caused the fire. She was opening a
box of matches which ignited, setting
fire to her clothes. Rushing screaming
through the factory she scattered the
burning matches about the place, set
ting the building on fire.
Dashing through second story win
dow she fell senseless to the pavement,
followed by dozen of the terror stricken
girls. The remainder of the employees
escaped by the stairways and fire escapes.
The fire was extinguished with slight
loss

THEY WILL BOLT.
Silver Men Will Give the Old
Parties a Chance
To Adopt Free Coinage at Six
teen to One.
IF THEY DON'T Do IT
Silver Delegates Will Walk Out
of the Conventions
And the New Silver Party Will
Be Organized.

CHICAGO March 22.-The Record says:
Chicago is to be the national political
center in the next yext, and silver will be
the dominant issue in the presidential
campaign. This statement was made by
a man who is recognized as leading
factor of the silver propaganda, and it
was conceded by number of conserva-
tive financial men to be the only logical
conclusion which could be drawn from a
search of recent events.
A plan of campaign has been laid out
which will bring the headquarters of the
silver propaganda from Denver to Chi
cago, and already the boast is made
that "Silver will split the Republican
and Democratic parties and that the
Allegheny mountains next year will be
the great divide which will separate the
yellow metal and the Atlantic coast from
the Mississippi valley and Pacific coast"
This plan contemplates an arbitrary
demand on both national conventions,
for it is said that the silver men of both
parties have arrived at an understand
ing that plank for "free silver coinage
at the ratio of 16 to 1, independent of
other commercial nations" must be
placed in the platforms of the respective
parties.
According to this plan should either or
both conventions refuse to be dictated to
by the aggressive silverites, the silver
delegate will withdraw and an indepen-
dent silver party will be formed with
| headquarters in Chicago.
! The first choice for leader of this pol
itical enterprise is Congressman J. G.
Sibley of Pennsylvania, a Democrat.
Second choice falls upon R. p. Bland of
Missouri, a Democrat; WI. Bryan of
Nebraska, Democrat; Senator Teller of
Colorado, Republican. and ]. P. Jones
of Nevada, a Republican.
1t is taken for granted by the silver
men that organized labor and the Peoples
Party will continue with them to form
the silver party, and they have expressed
a willingness to accept governmental
control of transportation, provided that
this modification of plank 10 is made d
| subordinate issue to free silver.
An organized movement for the pur-
pose of sending silver delegates to the
Democratic national convention is well
under way in the northwestern states,
and is paralleled by q similar movement
on the part of the silver Republicans
The progress of this preparatory work
has arrived at the tangible degree and
the various state committee of both par
ties are BEGINNING to watch il closelv

The Democratic Candidate for Mayor win
not Withdraw.
1t was reported on the street today that
DR.. L. Y. Grubbs, the Democratic nomi-
nee for mayor intended to withdraw
from the race,
DR.. Grubbs told JOURNAL reporter
that he had no intention of Withdrawing.
GAS far as know" said he, 81 will be
in the race to finish aud 1 will try to
be elected see no reason why the
Democrats should not have candidate
and as they have nominated me | will be
in the race"
''What do you think of your chsnces?"
81 am not saying much about my
chances for election. consider myself
a possibility in the race, and don't look
on myself as q lamb led to the slaughter
by any means. With little Republican
assistance l think my chances are very
favorable. l am in the race to stay"
1t was rumored that DIR. Grubbs could
not serve if elected, because he is on the
United States board of pension examin-
ers, but this was also found to be mis-
take. The fact that he holds a govern
ment position will not interfere with any
position he might hold in the city.

Gov. Foster.
NEW ORLEANS March 22.-The fol-
lowing committee from the white screw
men association, called upon Governor
Foster at the hotel Royal today for the

tion; Silas rockingham, John Ellwood,
Thomas Harrison. Richard A. White
James Duffy, James F. Breen, Robert
Braugh and William McCubbin, the
committee, are the most influential men
in the association. The conference lasted
for several hours and at it's conclusion
Governor Foster declined to tell the re-
porters whether or not any agreement
had been arrived at.
From one of the committee it was
learned that the screwmen made an
offer to store cotton for 80 cents a bale,
but they wanted the IS bale limit done
away with. They also desired to do
away with the stevedores. They were
willing to have the agents place man
over them to see that the work was
done properly but this middle man was
not to assume any authority over them.
He was merely to act in the capacity of
a representative.

MADRID, March 22-The Epoca and
Nacional persist in saying that the gov
ernor general of Cuba. General Calleja,
has asked for large reinforcements. The
government officials, however, deny the
report. The Liberal accuses the Ameri-
cans of fostering rebellion and hostility
to Spain, and of partiality to the rebel
cause, wAIcn the newspaper mentioned
assert is supported mainly by the funds
gathered from the cigar manufacturers
of Tampa and Key West.
The Liberal also declares that large
quantity of arms and ammunition was
lunded in Cuba previous to the outbreak
by American fishermen and urges Spain
TO impress America with the advisabiIIty
of not favoring filibusterers and to re-
quire a more friendly attitude on the
part of the American consul at Havana.

The man who came in TO look at the

not think he was implicated in the rob-
berry. No one is suspected by the pro-
prietor and the story is looked on rather
suspiciously by the police.
