III they're

Shoemaking has indeed become fne
art. The world has better shoes today
than it has ever had before. The past
season has been revolutionary. Ideas
last year are not sought after now. Yet
some stores cling to the old styles. The
progress that has been male In shoe
making is only less wonderful. In de-
gree, than the progress that has been
made in steam and electricity. Today
women seek a shoe that is easy to the
foot as well as stylish. The scientist
has studied her wants, and what's the
result ?-along comes the new wonan's'

FREE SILVER AGAIN DowNED.

Louisville, June 26.-The Democratic
rtate convention Of Kentucky has certain
ly indorsed the administration, with spe-
cial tributes to President Cleveland, and
his distinguished adviser, Carlisle. Moth
ing was ever productive of more effective
results than the speeches and the Mem
phis convention. The silverites, includ-
ing Senator Blackburn, attributed their
defeat to the recent speeches of Secre-
tary Carlisle and the circulation that was
given them. The free coinage men do
not deny that they expected to control
the convention and all committees, plat
form nominations. They fought to a
finish and acknowledged their defeat, al
though they make charges pbout the way
1t was done. The free silver men were
beaten first in the district meeting that
selected the members of the various
committees, then in the selection of
Judge w. M. Beckner for temporary
chairman and Congressman "A. s. Berry
for permanent chairman, and in the or
ganization Of the committee on resolu-
tions and as well in the organization of
the other committees. Today they went
down under the adoption of the minority
report on credentials selecting Sound
money delegates, and in the adoption
Of resolutions endorsing President Cleve-
land and Secretary Carlisle.
Senator Blackburn and the other free
silver leaders, remained on the floor of
the convention and fought to the last on
the resolutions, after which they did not
take much interest in the meeting. They

Washington, June 26.-As a result Of
much vigorous urging and pressing by
the state department, the government OF
Honduras has been brought at last to
take steps to punish the people who COM
mitted the Renton murder, and today a
cablegram was received from Pringle,
United States charge d affairs at Guate-
mala, stating that he had received tel
egram from the Honduras minister of
foreign affairs announcing that three of
the persons implicated in the Renton
murder had been arrested.
1t is expected that the firm stand of the
state department in this matter will have
a good effect upon the status of Ameri-

Honduras. Near his place was large
plantation held by number of foreign
ers who coveted Renton's land They
sought to drive him off by systematic
persecution for long time, but this
proving of no avail resort was had at
last to violence and murder. March 26th,
last year, Renton, who had vainly sought
for the protection Of the local authorities,
was murdered in cold blood. His wife,
who tried to assist him in his defense,
was shot through the wrist, the house
and crops destroyed, and her child and

HoRsEnEss CARRIAGES.
A New Sort of Racing Now Popular In
Paris.

Boston Advertiser.
Dispatches from Paris within the last
few days have commented on the in
tenslty of the public interest In that city
over the motor races" which are with
out counterpart in this country or in
England. These races are not carried
on by fast sprlners, by speedy trotters
or by mammoth yachts; but the contest
Is hotly waged between what are known
as ''horseless carriages" that Is, road
vehicles. each of which Is equipped with
q motor of some sort. These races at
tract enormous crowds, and not only the
masses" but the Glasses" are drawn
out by them.
The start in the recent races was made
from the Arc de Triomphe, and the course
was from Paris to Bordeaux and back;
certainly not a short jaunt, as races are
usually managed. The scene, as described
by spectators, seems to have been par
ticularly brilliant, and the contest was
close enough at times to be intensely
exciting to those who were interested in
the races; but the very fact that such
races are being held, and that so many
contestants appear, has proven the ex-
tent to which the construction of motor
carriages has been brought This year,
however, the races are especially in
teresting to the world In general for the
reason that for the first time contestants
from any nation are allowed to enter the
lists.
The prizes are offered by the govern
ment, and their total is estimated at
about, $1,000 while entries have been made
for at least five countries; although. as
natural event. 1t has happened that
the largest number Of entries has been
made by The French manufacturers. The
races this year are earlier than any Of

TO CARRY ARMS TO HAWAII.

Port Townsend, June %.-The schooner
Geo. W. Watson. which sailed from Sc.
attic last night with a cargo of lumber
is reported to have taken on a load OF
fire arms outside of Cape Flattery for
Hawaii. The vessel was towed out to sea
this morning and set adrift abreast of
Dungeness light In the same locality.
all day yesterday and today, several
small fishing sloops have been lazily
cruising around, which occasions the be-
lief here that munitions will be trans
ferred to her before she sails from the
Sound.
For several weeks definite information
has existed in Port TownSend that the
sccialistic sympathlzers. with headquar-
ters in the Northwest. have been engaged
In trying to secure a vessel and men to
assist in overthrowing the government
of Hawaii.
Two Malah Indians were arrested to-
day for smuggling over merchandise from
British Columbia and peddling 1t away
among settlers. Goods valued at several
hundred dollars were seized. The Gus
toms officials had been apprlzed of the
fact that smuggling had been going on
for years and that the government had
been defrauded out OF many thousands of
dollars.

for a few days seemed to be the prln-
cipal topic Of comment In Paris, the
journals containing sketches and fun de-
scriptions of the races, while the music
halls heard many ditties in which the
horseless carriages were mentioned in
complimentary and uncomplimentary
terms. Last year 102 entries were made
for the races, which consisted of runs
from thirty to thirty-five miles over the
roads leading into Paris.
The word motor, In connection with the
propulsion of a road carriage, In this
country naturally suggests an electric
motor, but curiously enough, electric
motors seem to have been extremely rare
IN the Partisan road races. the principal
motive power being steam, petroleum.
gasoline and water. or these, steam,
petroleum and gasoline command about
equal popularity, and the best time was
by a six-wheel steam motor, holding
-FOUR passengers. The vehicle which
came In first, however, received the sec
ond prize on account Of its rather uu-
usual build, and two lighter vehicles di-
vlded between Them the first prize OF
$i'OOV. Ore Of the winners of the first
prize was an open park phaeton, pro-

senger phaeton, which also burnt mineral

maue onirty miles in about seven hours
and won the third prize of $500.
Inc use of mineral oil seems 10 be
growing In favor among the Parisians.
Tor the reason that a nine-uuart reservoir
furnishes the motive power for a 2OO-
mile run for single vehicle. II must be
said also that petroleum seems to be pre-
iersed TO gasoline, because the latter
under certain circumstances is repre-
sented as clogging the running gear. The
Iailure or the Parisians to use electric
motors to a large extent seems curious
In view of the widespread use az cleo
trcity as motive power for vehicles
In the United states. Possibly the fall
ure to secure satisfactory storage bat
terry may have had something to do with
thls reluctance OF the Parislan manufac-
turers 10 adopt electricity. In this coun=s
Try, however, statements have been made
which seem to show that It Is possIhle
even today to construct a light and vat
economical motor for use ON road
wagons.
AT all events 1t seems to be a mere
question OF time before electricity will
ce used In this method OF TRANSPORTATION.
as lt Is already used in so may other
directions where other motive powers
any useu OIly lew years ago.
AS electricity Is more and more widely
employed, the natural tendency Is to
secure more and more economical results
inasmuch as electricity can be sold more
cheaply the more commonly Il Is used.
rhe question of an economical storage
battery is rather one OF detail than one
OF principles, so that in view OF the de-
velopments which have already been
made, It is not unlikely chat electrically
road carriages will be as com ,
mon within twenty or thirty years on
the streets and roads Of the United States
as the bicycles are today.
