A few days ago Miss Ida Coleman,
daughter Of the richest man In War
rem county, Ohio, and organist of the
Methodist church at Mason, bought
q wheel. Then she appeared at the
base ball park in red bloomers. The
pastor, the Rev. J. J. Wadsworth,
smiled at her, but others derided
her. Saturday night a committee
waited on the minister and COM
manded him to denounce bloomers
the following day. Sunday Mr..
Wadsworth did not refer to Miss
Coleman, bicycle or bloomers. That
night he was told that he either had
to denounce Miss Coleman's riding
habit or resign. He was given until
Wednesday night to do 30. Wednes-
day night a prayer-meet was
held. Parson Wadsworth was In the
pulpit. The benches and aisles were
crowded. Miss Coleman waited un-
til the audiance became restless for
music. Then she strode down the
aisle dressed In bloomers as red as
the sun and took her seat at the
organ. Some familiar tunes were
sung and played, but before the min
lister could begin to pray his audi
ence, or at least the most of 1t, had
dispersed. As they were leaving the
building they were hissed. After
ward Parson Wadsworth and Miss
Coleman's friends continued the
services.

were that the republicans would be

nominees, no matter what their dif-
ferences before the primaries, and
In view of that fact 1t would be In
cumbent upon the democratic party
to lay aside all personal likes and
dislikes and work solidly for the sue
cess of the democratic nominee,
whoever he should be. He asked
Maryland to set an example to all
other democratic states by rolling up
o larger democratic majority than
ever before. The platform approved
the democratic platform of 1892, and
the able and patriotic administration
OF President Cleveland. 1t declared
against free silver and approved the
Wilson tariff bill, which was charac-
