anything but gold and silver coin as q
legal tender for the payment of debts,
thereby recognizing that coin composed
Of silver or Of gold is honest money and
fit to be used as q legal tender, therefore,
be 1t
Resolved, BY the Democrats of Illinois,
In convention assembled, That we are in
favor Of the use Of both gold and silver
as the standard money of the United
States and demand the free and unlimit-
ed coinage of both metals at the ratio Of
.16 to l without waiting for the action Of
any other nation, and such coins shall
be a legal tender for all debts, both pub
lie and private, and that all contracts
hereafter executed for the payment Of
money, whether in gold, silver or coin,
may be discharged by any means which
by law is legal tender.
Resolved, That we hereby indorse the
action OF the Democratic state central
committee in calling this convention
| and we instruct the committee to carry
out the will of this convention as ex-
pressed in its platform by inaugurating
and carrying on a campaign of educa-
ton In this state and to thoroughly or
ganize the Democracy of the state on the
lines as laid down in the platform of this
convention.
Resolved, That the Democratic men,
bers Of congress and members of the
senate from this state be, and hereby are
instructed to use all honorable means
to carry out the principles above enun-
ciated.
There was a lengthy debate in regard
to the resolution favoring invitation to
the national Democratic committee to
call a national monetary convention. The
following resolution was finally adopted:
Resolved, That we request the nation
al Democratic committee to call a con-
vention to consider the money question
not later than August next. If the COM
mittee refuses to call such a convention,
then we invite the Democratic state COM
mittees of other states to take concurrent
action with the Democratic state COM
mittee of this state in calling such con
| vention.
When this resolution was read before
the convention it was greeted with loud
applause, as was also the 16 to / para
graph of the main resolutions. A reso-
luton indorsing Gov. Altgeld was greet
ed with enthusiasm and the meeting was
frequently interrupted by the shouts Of
approval at the expressions regarding
his vetoes of certain bills. After the
adoption of several complimentary reso-
lutions the convention adjourned.

such misleading headlines, and such
false statements as constantly appear in
reporting news concerning the discus
sion of this monetary question? There
is no such thing as bad money in the
world. The money Of each nation is
good money" Sound money" the legal
money of that nation. 1t cannot be other
than Sound money" so long as it is
maintained at the standard which the
law of the particular country declares it
to be worth it's face value.

abuse Of Cleveland or praise of Altgeld
out of the convention by introducing a
resolution that all resolutions of a poll
tical nature offered to the convention be
reserved and referred to a committee
on resolutions without being read.
Thomas Merit, of Marion county, was
on his feet in an instant and s%trenuously
objected to having what he called the
gag law applied to the convention. He
wanted any resolutions introduced to
be duly considered. It was evident that
there was going to be a fight by the
enemies of the administration to get DIN
their attacks. The original i%ntroducer
of the motion withdrew and the point
remained unsettled. The convention
then adjourned until 2 o'clock to allow
the various committees to prepare their
reports.
The committe on resolutions reported
a platform consisting Of a single plank,
declaring for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at 16 to 1.
RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE
ILLINOIS DEMOCRATIC SILVER
CONVENTION.
Springfield, ILL.,, June 6.-The follow
ing is the platform as adopted by the
Democratic silver convention yesterday:
Whereas, Silver and gold have been
the principal money metals of the world
for thousands of years and silver money
is recognized and used as honest money
between individuals and between ma
tions, Notwithstanding the varying ratio
between silver and gold, and
Whereas, The demonstration of silver

His present purpose in bringing for
ward the subject is to humiliate the
president, his wife, who is a we'll
known figure in French society, wide
ly noted for her charms as a hostess,
and to strike a blow at his uncle, M.
Guinot, an ardent republican, for
mer senator and one of the judges who
condemned M. Delahaye's friend Gen.
Boulanger. T.
President Faure's .father-in-1aw, M.
Beloit left home four months after his
marriage, having squandered all of his
fortune, including his wife's dowry
which made him guilty of breach of
trust. The daughter, born after his
disappearance, was brought up by her
uncle, NJ. Guinot. When M. Faure
wanted to marry the young lady, then
aged twenty-three, her relatives in
formed him fully of what had occurred,
Whereupon he declared that he would
not allow an innocent person to suffer
for what had occurred before her birth,
and married her. When he became
president it was generally announced
that his wife was the daughter of M.
Guinot, mayor of Amboise, and subse-
quently senator for Indre ct Loire. This
misinterpretation was allowed to go un-
challenged and afforded M. Delahaye
the opportunity to make the contra-

REEDS RETIRING WIFE.
She Is Not Fond of the Social
WhirI.

Notwithstanding the prominence
of Speaker Reed in Washington, and
his frequent appearance in social cir
cles, Mrs. Reed is one of the most re-
firing ladies in the official set of the
capital, and shuns publicity studious-
ly. She is seldom seen in the gallery
of the house of representatives in
the seat reserved for her occupancy,
and even when Mr.. Reed was chosen
the other day to his old position her
seat was vacant. She had no desire
to brave the publicity which her po
sition would give her. Those who
know her, however, bear testimony
to the pride she feels in her hus-
bands successes in life, and do not
hesitate to claim that he owes much
to her wise counsel and prudence
The home life of the speaker is
simple one and charming withal. 1t
is much the same as that of any Gull
tured gentleman. He has little taste
for righteousness, but takes great
pleasure in the society of his wife

child. Mrs. Reed was a Miss Susan

clergyman. She was a widow when
Mr.. Reed married her. Their home

the puff comes below this literally
and figuratively, allowing elbow
room, and then there is the snug
forearm part. This is nearly always
plain, though frequently having
cuff or little braiding. After them
comes the full bishop sleeve, with
its neat cuff and two or three rows
of shirring at the top. Just at the
present moment there is Il great and
sudden fancy for what some call
gOred and others melon sleeves.
These are cut in four pieces, and Ell
ther double stitched or Tapped and
stitched. This style is suitable only
for heavy goods. When velvet is
used, there is a very narrow line Of
beading down each seam to define
it, else it would not be known. These
seams extend from shoulder to wrist
and are seen on house dresses, but
more often on outdoor garments,
such as jackets.
Among the quite new sleeves are
hanging sleeves gathered very full
at the shoulders and left straight to
the bottom, where they fall loosely
and are bordered with fur some
times, headed with beading or en-
broidery, according to the kind of
material. Short, close basques of
rich velvet and velours du nord are
richly embroidered and made with a
rolling shawl collar of some kind of
fur, and this usually extends all the
way down the front and sometimes
clear around the skirt. The loose
sleeves reach to the wrist and are
lined, and, as 1 said before, bound
with fur. The sleeves should be at
least one yard around and cut on
the straight of the cloth. One or
two have been cut in circular cape
shape, but they do not look nearly as
we'll as the others.
This does not by any means ex-
haust the list of novel sleeves. Long
wraps have in some instances regu-
lar "angel sleeves s''-that is to say,
they are cut short on the fore part
of the arm, while the back hangs
down at least to the knees. The
gigot, or leg o. mutton, and balloon
sleeves are quite as popular as they
have been. They are stiffened or not
as best suits the wearer. For even
ing and full dress the elbow puff
is the accepted sleeve. This may be
of tulle over taffeta, or of chiffon
or it may be of velvet or brocade
The dress material may also be used
It depends upon ones personal taste
One pretty fancy is to have a tulle
sleeve over silk and have this tulle
tufted with quite large chenille balls

Edison believes that he can solve the

his own words: 'T would construct

schooners, and brigantines-which
would tack and jibe and sail before
the wind. My idea is that the lifting
power for these airships should be gas
stored in the sails. In other words,
you apply the balloon principle in such

nificance when the Rockefeller wealth
is mentioned. 1t is an oNer-estimate
when it is said that Helen and Anna
Gould have fifteen millions each. Eleven
millions would be much nearer the
mark. Since the death of jay Gould
there has been n considerable shrinkage
in the valuation of the securities in
in which the family wealth is largely
invested. His wealth when he died was
seNenty-two millions, and a larger share
went to the elder son George than to
any of the other five children. The lat
ter inherited about eleven millions each.
and their unspent accumulated incomes
barely compensate for the depreciation
of the principal during the last two
years of financial depression.
The heads of the various branches of
Nanderbilts will undoubtedly adhere
to the family traditions and bequeath
the bulk OF their respective fortunes to
the eldest sons and a comparatively
modest fortune to the daughters. This
plan keeps the main wealth intact and
secured in the family railroads. The
Astors adopt similar methods for the
reservation of their city real estate

question of millions, the Rockefeller

immea surably above all contemporary
heiresses. Some time ago in court the
father of the girls swore that he could
not tell within Sl12, 10000 what his
wealth was. This certainly leaves wide
margin for conjecture on the subject.
Men who claim to know say that his
present wealth is in the neighborhood of
$l45, 200, 900, and that it's net increase Is
at the rate of eight millions year, as
his investments earn annually large
dividents. He is only fifty-five years
of age now, and We're he to live six
years more he would then be worth
more than 100000, 600.
There are four children in the Rookie
teller family and they will inherit all
of the wealth. 1t has been MI Rookie
Geller's policy to make all the charit-
able bequests in his lifetime that he in
tends to make, and the supposition Is
general among his friends that, with
few small exceptions, the bulk of his
money will go to his family. OF the
four children the eldest is Bessie, who
married Professor Charles Strong of
the Chicago University, to which Mr.,
Rockefeller has given $2500,00O Mrs
Strong is IS years old. Miss Alta is "a
years old, Miss Edith is %, and John
D., Jr., the only son, is 81.
Each of these children will Inherit
anywhere from forty to fifty millions
and it is doubtful if the whole wide
world contains two girls of such vast
wealth as the Misses Rockefeller.
How these girls spend their days will
