COMING OF THE DEMOCRATS.
silver Wing Blew In and Ont OF Town
Yesterday.

The Democrats OF the State will hold their
preliminary powwow here next week. The
silver wing OF the party blew into the city
yesterday afternoon and got out again be-
fore any one became aware OF it's presence.
Allen W. Clark. Of Greensburg, who Is the
leader OF this faction, was registered at
the Grand Hotel for dinner, but he and the
others that took part in a short conference
yesterday evaded newspaper men and left
for their homes without 1t becoming known
whether they had solved the financial prob
lem or not. 1t is known that the Presi-
dents message was discussed and a resolu>
ton offered by one Of the new members OF
the wing, who does not yet fully under
stand the idiosyncrasies Of the faction, to
indorse the financial part of it was tabled
without so much as the formality Of vote,
and in its stead resolution, written on a
silver dollar, declaring for silver for this
and all other countries was passed by
rising vote This organization has a way OF
seems 10 know, and discussing momentous
questions in quiet manner, and then ieav>
6ing again as quietly as they came. This
was the procedure yesterday. They were
here, and now they are gone. and that tells
the entire story.
As to the straight Democracy, without the
is expected by the leaders that fair rep
resentation will be In the city next Wednes>
day 10 tell how il happened and console
each other. This is the only business that
is known to be pertinent for discussion at
the present time. 1t is believed that tho
silver faction of the party will take ad-
vantage of the recent defeat to push their
claims for recognition. and in the demon,
allied condition OF the party they hope for
success.
The boom for Governor Matthews foi
President will also be launched tho
turbid sea Of destiny. His friends will be
here in force, and as there is little else than
friendship for him to drag Democrats to
the meeting it is safe to predict that he
will be the idol Of the ninety per cents"
of the meeting. 1t Is expected that some
steps viii be taken toward placing his cam
didacy on a firm footing. The Jackson
League will have a meeting also and elecr
officers.

as Far as there are any, are racy of the soil.

DO Wives Earn Money:

New DIRK Evening Cuu
Apropos the subject, ''Do Wives Earn
Anything" is the following. 1t comes
from a midle-aged woman living in prov
incal city. who has for many years been
faithful wife and mother. Her means have
always been moderate. but by dint OF strict
economy, not to speak of hard work, she
has managed to give her children every
educational advantage, and has materially
assisted her husband by habits OF saving.
\ little while ago this woman wished to
come TO New York TO enjoy much-needed
holiday. She was obliged. however. to
limit her expenses to a certain sum. and
therefore did not feel equal TO putting up
at any OF the expensive hotels. Some
friends told her of hosiery, delightful in
every way and especially adapted for
women OF moderate means, being, in fact.
under the auspices of well-known phian-
thropists. The woman accordingly wrote to
engage a room. in reply she received an
investigatory sort of letter that, above
all else stipulated that the applicant be
self-supporting. ''Se1f-supportlngn cried
the woman on receipt OF this letter. We'll,
I'm sure I've made quite as much money as
many wage-earner, even If l haven't re-
,eived my pay in dollars and cents" She
wrote the superintendent of the hosiery
to this effect. but only TO receive word that
the place was open only TO self-supporting
women, and that the present applicant could
not be considered as coming under that
bead. Ii Is interesting 10 find out how
philanthropy regards the matter
