Senator Carter, of Montana, who is
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, is in Washington. He
says the National Executive Commit
tee will probably meet the latter part
of October or early in November to
decide where and when the next Ma
tional Convention shall be held, and
that he would not be surprised if it
decided to hold it in May, instead of
June, which has been the usual month,
as he finds the sentiment in favor of
the former month strong and growing.
In reply to question Senator Carter
said: 1.-THE National Committee as
an organization will not take any posi-
tion for or against silver. 1t is no part
of the business of the committee to
undertake to declare party position on
current questions. That task is left
to the party when assembled in Ma
tional convention.

TOILET HINTS

|
There is one way in which any
thing less than real attack of nerv.
GUS prostration may be cured in less
than an hour. No matter how weary
and how nervous a woman may be,
she will find herself refreshed if she
| doffs her tight, heavy clothing, slips
on loose wrapper, puts on loose
slippers, takes out her hairpins, piles
her hair loosely on top of her head
and bathes her face and neck with
water as hot as she can stand it. She
should then wash her face in cool
water, rub little cold cream on it,
drink cup of hot bouillon and sleep
for half an hour.
Bran bags are delightful adjuncts
to summer baths. They soften and
sweeten the water and add new
power of refreshment to the rites of
ablution. They are rather expensive
when bought, but when made at
home they are among the cheapest of
toilet luxuries.
The sleeves of bodices should re-
ceive care and attention in these days
of big puffs. They should, after the
bodice has been aired, be stuffed with
newspaper or tissue paper 80 that
they may not lose their shape. Bod
ices should not be hung up to crush
one another, but should be laid, one
above the other with tissue paper be-
tween, on broad, deep shelves.
Nothing is better for brittle nails
than to rub them occasionally with re-
fined vaseline. To improve the shape
of the finger tips and make them
graceful and tapering, pinch them af-
ter each washing of the hands. A few
months of this treatment will make
decided change in the appearance of
the hands.
Patent leather shoes should be dus-
ted after each wearing. aired and rub
bed with little grease. When this
has been rubbed off, they should be
incased in chamois or suede coverings
to prevent heat, cold or dust from
doing their deadly work, and put
away on shoe "trees."
If more women realized that strain
ing the eyes produces wrinkles, more
would exercise proper care of these
members. Reading by a
dim or failing light, coming su dden-
ly from dark room to light one, or |
vice versa, overworking the eyes in
any way, and last, but by no means |
least, wearing dotted and cross-bar-
red wells; these are more taxing of the

does it make what they think, after
all? No one can live his own life and
two or three other peoples lives at
the same time. What's the use of
setting up housekeeping on the roof
for the benefit of the neighbors? One
would rightly be judged insane for
suggesting anything of the kind, and
yet this is practically what half the
housekeepers do. They can't do that
because the neighbors would talk, and
they can't do that because the neigh
bors would wonder if they could not af-
ford to do something else. They may
not say it in so many words, but they
mean it. The truth of the matter is,
there is simply great big vacuum in
some of our natures where moral cour-
age ought to be. Half the sting of pow
erty or small means will disappear as
soon as we have the courage and good
seen to keep no use for ourselves and
not for our neighbors.-Kansas City
Times.

Don't permit children to drink tea
and coffee. 1t does not add to their
happiness one bit; on the contrary, it
is positively hurtful. 1t cannot be
anything else, since it has been set
tied on good authority that unless
carefully made, which they seldom
are, tea and coffee are absolutely
hurtful to adults. 1t is senseless to
give children stimulants of that kind
when they do not need them, and
only tease for them because they are
sometimes withheld.

1t is quite correct to eat asparagus
with your fingers-and ever so much
nicer besides. If the asparagus is of
a weakly nature and deficient in back
bone, it cannot be eaten in this way,
and then you must simply cut off the
points and eat them with fork in
stead.

Bean vines are especially valuable
for sheep, being rich in nitrogenous
substances, and these animals take to
them quite readily. Plant the poll va

early for soil.

being. For instance, his object in
promising that he would support the
candidacy of ex-Secretary Whitney
for the Democratic Presidential nomi-
nation, if Mr.. Whitney would consent
to the use of his name in that cennec-
tion, has now become apparent to those
who know the game of politics. Instead
of being a remuneration of his own
desire for another nomination, as many
at first supposed it to be, that promise
of Mr.. Cleveland's is a very clever
move by which he expects to retain
control of the Democratic nomination,
whatever the result of the contest now
going on between the gold Democrats
and the silver Democrats may be. If
the gold Democrats can control the
next National convention Mr.. Cleve-
land will take the nomination himself,
and if the silver Democrats control it
the nomination will go to ex-Secretary
Whitney, thus making it certain that
no Cleveland silver Democrat can
carry off the empty honor of the
nomination.
That this move was taken by Mr..
Cleveland with the knowledge and
consent of Mr.. Whitney was proven
by the fact that Mr.. Whitney had no
sooner got back from Europe than he
gave out an authentic interview stat
ing his position on the silver question.
His position is straddle, if put to
actual and immediate test, but it is so
interlarded with "taffy" for silver and
opinions as to its speedy rehabilitation
as money metal by the great CONNER
cial nations of the world, that it leaves
the impression that he is very friendly
to silver, which is just the impression
it was intended to leave. 1t is Whit
ney's part of the game begun by Mr..
Cleveland when he promised to sup
port Whitney if he wanted the nomina-
tion. That Whitney really wants the
is improbable, although he
would doubtless willingly chip in four
or five of the Standard Oil Company's
to become President. But he
is too smart to believe that any Demo-
crat can be elected President next year.
His part of the game is being played
just to please Mr.. Cleveland, whose
has been valuable to corpor-
ations in which Whitney is interested,
a1d may be again.

Lots of Republicans from the great
northwest, who drop into Washington
from time to time, put in a good word
for Senator Dubois, and lots of Repub-
licans from all other sections meet
them with earnest "amens." Mr..
w. G. Leonard, of Butte, Montana,
speaking of this subject said: sit
would please our people not only in
Idaho but in the northwest generally,
if the Republican convention should
see its way to nominate Senator Dubois
for the vice Presidency. He would
make a great run. Personally, he is
the strongest man in his State, if not
in the entire northwest, and if he is
not Vice President when the time
comes he will not have the slightest
difficulty in being reelected to the
Senate" Of course everyone realizes
that the selection of President must
be made before that of his running
mate, and that the section from which
one comes virtually decides that from
which the other must be taken, but
there is no harm in expressing liking
for so good man as Senator Dubois,
who could have anything he desired, if
the selection were to be made by the
votes of his Republican colleagues in
the Senate.

There is rumor, too good to be
true, that Mr.. Cleveland will, in filling
the vacancy left in the Cabinet by the
death of Secretary Gresham, endeavor
to get Democrat whose Americanism
is robust enough and sufficiently we'll
known to the public to reinspire conf
dence in the foreign policy of the Ad-
ministration. 1t would be a good
thing for Mr.. Cleveland to make the
attempt to do this, but unless the tenor
of public opinion has been misunder-
stood, there is only one thing that will
make the public believe in the Ameri-
canism of the Administration, and
that is the election of a Republican
President.
