At the Democratic silver confer
ence held in Washington City last
week, Severto Daniel, of Virginia
in making the closing speech Of
the conference, uttered the follow
ing words, which will fnd an echo
in the heart of every true country
loving Democrat;
He said: II will only say that
| am a Democrat, and being a
Democrat, could not help being
for the solid, honest and ancient
gold and silver money of the Dem
ocratic party. The party of the
people must stand for the money
of the people, and whom God has
joined together plutocracy shall
not put asunder.

Starving and Stole Bread.

Policeman Fink of the MorriSania
station saw two young men steal two
loaVes of bread that had just been left
in a porch at Hunts Point road and
Southern boulevard yesterday morn
ing. Clutching the bread under their
arms the men ran until they saw the
officer. They stopped when he threat
ened to shoot them, and said:
"We'll go with you, but for Gods
sake don't take the bread away. We
haven't eaten anything in nearly three
days"
They said they were Frank Clifford,
a mason, and William Reilly, painter.
Clifford said he had a home in Albany.
Reilly said he had no home. They
said they were out of work and half
starved. Their clothing was wet with
rain, and they said they had been
tramping through the country in
search of work.
The officer was obliged to take the
bread from them, but he bought them
some sandwiches which they ate raw
enously on the way to the police sta
tiOn. Magistrate Cornell expressed
his sympathy for the prisoners, but
said he would have to hold them to
answer for the theft of the bread

 FORTY MILLION CAKES YEARLY oAMal co.c

Ever since the first reception given in this gpwn a reasonable latitude has been given in the matter of a full dress suit While it was positively necessary to have claw hammer coat, society was not critical as to a blue wooden shirt and a paper collar, and nobody was thrown out doors for wear ing his trousers in his lOit legs or putting on a vest made of rabbit skins. X nccktie of any color could br worn or left off, and the collar could be of any shape to please the Scarcr. Those who dcman ndcd rad
 ical change have got left. The trousers
 will come out of tho boot legs, and no guns
 will be worn in sight, but no other inno-
 vations will be sanctioned.
 A somewhat acrimonious dispute has
 been going on for weeks us to what is the
 proper hour for putting in an appearance
 at a full dress reception. Our people have
 been in the habit of showing up at any
 timc between o'clock and midnight, and
 the attempt to pin them down to any ccr-
 tain hour has been looked upon by many
 as the first step toward Ovcrthruwing the
 bulwarks of American liberty. It is prct
 ty generally agreed however, that So'clock
 is about the correct thing This gives everybody a chance to grease his boots and
 oil his hair after supper, and if he has . game of poker on hand he can got around to it by 10 o'clock.
 Inc wrslIlglC over the question or rSIrCSLl- mcnts has also been practically settled. It has always been the custom to place O gallon dcmijohn of whisky and two tea . cups on bench behind the door for the
 dclCctation of the male guests and to pass sandwiches and coffee to the other sex, and wo were ono or those who couldn't see how this matter could be improved on. We were in the minority. however. Hercaftcr the whisky is To be placed ill q dccanter on
 tho kitchen table, glasses substituted for tc;lcupS, and the ladies are to have sweet cakC and punch. Every true gentleman prefers to wipe of his chin behind q door, and the gurglc of o!d rye from the mouth of a dcmijohn has a satisfaction in it never
 to be cqualcd by the liinpid flow of de Cantcr, but if the rest can stand it we can. We must hAvo socicty, and society must have certain rules. While WIG feel it hard | to let go of that free and easy stylc so pro | life of good times and thorough enjoy | mrnt, We bow 10 the ediCt of the majority ! and will even accept a napkin and hold a ! blue edged plate on our knees as a moral ] example to others.

TO COMPOSE AN OPERA
Some Valuable Suggestions
 From One Who Knows.
MISS EMMA R. STEINER's VIEWS.

The Talented Composer of ''The Viking"
 ''The Little Hussar," 'The Alchemis:,"
 "FIcurette" and Other Operas Gives Be
 ginners Much Excellent Advice.
 l wish ut the outset to correct an erro- ncous impression about myself which has got out very generally. It has been said at different times that am the only woman in the United States who conducts largo orchestra; that am the only woman who has composed and had produced scvcra! comic operas; that l am tho only woman who has written the complete instrument tation for Opcratic and other musical com positions. For myself l make none of thcso claims, for know each of them to be in- correct, although it may perhaps Dc fact that am the only woman in America who has done all three of the things above emu meratcd.
 There are many difficulties in the way of the ambitious and conscientious com poser of light opera in this country In tho first place the clabOratcncss necessary nowadays makes the production of a comic opera an excessively expensive undcrtak ing. Managers will therefore hesitate q long time before investing in the work of any composer outside of the two or thrcc whose names arc considered strong enough to command sufficient support to render pecuniary loss very improbable.
 But another, and the &rrMtCst drawback to the American composer, Is the lack of good librrtti. There arc three or four men in this country, who, it is conceded, write Eairly good books These fortunate fellows usually have their hands full of work for stars, who want tailor madc operas de- signed to show off their individual abili- tics to the best advantage. When the com poser gets hold of this book, he Cor shc) is so set about with conditions and rcstric- tions that the best work is impossible, be- cause, forsooth, it would not suit the star or it would give somc other member of the cast too great opportunity to shine. With regard to tho methods of compost tion can of course only speak of my own, though, to loo perfectly candid, really havo none, strictly speaking. One of tho most popular numbers have ever | written camo to mo while l was waiting for friend near the New York Herald

QUESTION OF FINANCES.

President Clevelsnd's Andrew Jackson frmness Tn standing by his financial views is admired alike by those who agree with them and those who oppose them. There are timid democrats who say that ap expression against the free coinage of silver was not polltic. in view of the knowledge that many democrats favor it. Perhaps it wasn't, but Mir Cleveland has never been polite man. That is one of the reasons why he has never got along with the trimmers in the democratic party. His tariff reform message of 1887 was not polite docu- ment, but it resulted iu uniting the demo- cratic party and making tariff reform syn onymous with democrat, and is today re- garded by every democrat as one of the best things he ever did.
 Democrats admire courage and no demo- crat will think less of MT Cleveland for having the courage U stlnd up for what he believes to be right regardless of whether it Is popular or unpopular with the party at largr. He invites a contest within the ranks of the party. and iS confident that when all the arguments which can te pre- scented on both sides have been heard that an overwhelming majority of the party will en iorse his views. He may be wrong. Other democrats have been wrong; but when he asks that the dem ocrAtS come to- gether and discuss this question in all its bearings before committing the party he is not unreasonable.
 A campaign of education is never one sided. Let every democrat hear what both sides have to say in coming discussions oi the silver question, weigh the. arguments as he would the evidence if he were sitting on jury. and then decide which will bt l best for the country. Up to this time most of the talking has been done by ont Si

THAT ALLEGED POISONING.
Mrs. spranger's Friends Say It Is Case of
 Mother-in-law.

Mother-in-law.
 BALTIMORE, April 20.-The Baltimore friends and relatives of Mrs. Dr. F. x. Spranger. Jr., allege that vindictive mother-in-law is at the bottom of the sensational story in which 1t is asserted that Edward Irving Darling was poisoned by his wife and Dr. Spranger, as charged in the complaint filed by Mrs. Darling in the office of the district attorney in New York.
 The alleged courting of Mrs. Darling by Dr. Sprangcr before her husbands death and during his medical attentions to the deceased is pronounced by members of Mrs. Spranger's family as pure fabrica- tion. They state that the doctor has in every particular shown himself to be an honorable man. and that his intentions toward the widow and his declarations of love for her were entirely unknown until some time after her husbands death.
 Dr. Spranger and Mrs. Darling T1re married in this city on tho 9th of last month at Corpus Christi church. The bride was given away by her uncle, MT. Tiernan, and the wedding was attended by number of well known people both of this city and Washington. Owing to the delicate health of her son, Herman Oar ling Dr. and Mrs Spranger went tO Cali fornia. They arc paving an extended wis it to the doctors father, who lives at Iau- rel in Santa Cruz county.
 When Mrs. Flora Adams Darling, Mrs. Sprangcr's former mother-i -in-law. heard of her marriage to Dr. Spranger, she was greatly incensed.
 DETROIT, April 20.-The testimony of various residents of this city regarding the charges of Mrs. Flora Adams Darling to tho effect that Dr. and Mrs. Spranger arc responsible for the death of young Darling goes to indicate that Darling drank heavily while here, and as n result was obliged to seek medical treatment ire quently. It is well known that his wife was very unhappy, but their acquaint- ances credit their unhappincss to Oar ling's dissipation.
 Dr. Spranger's friends ridicule the mothers charges. Prosecuting Attorney Fraser says that after Investigating the case he could find no proof whatever of the elder Mrs. Darling's statements, and that he became convinced that she was not, in fact in her right mind.

 WHEELING, April G0.-Ncws from King wood, Preston county, this state, gives de- tails of fight with horse thieves from across the Pennsylvania line, in which the sheriff of the county was fatally shot and one or two other men wounded.
 A telephone message was sent to Sheriff Shaw from Allrightsville, three miles east of kingwood, to tho effect that four horse thieves from Brownsville. Pa, wero there. The sheriff summoned three dcpu- ties and went to answer tho summons. They shortly came in sight of the four thieves, wlIo werc mounted. Sheriff Shaw pluckily approached the gang. and grasp ing the bridle of tho leaders horse called on them to surrender.
 Quick as n flash the leader pulled his revolver and fired point blank at Sheriff Shaw. The ball passed through the right lung. inflicting mortal wound. Ex- Sheriff Jackson, a member of the posse, returned the fro. His ball struck pack ago of cigarette photographs in the mur- dercr's upper vest pocket just over tho heart and glancing inflicted a flesh wound in his arm, and entering his horses mock killed the animal instantly. The man fell to tho ground, and Jackson supposed ho had killed him. These were the only shots fired. for tho robbers immediately surrendered and were taken to kingwood and lodged in jail.

 It turns out that tho arrests arc proba- bly of great importance. as a number of weapons, dirk knives and koys were found on the persons of tho prisoners, and there wcro found in their possession a quantity of jewclry and number Of gold watches, showing that they had recently commit ted burglary On one was found a man. usoript copy of tho bylaws of a secret or ganization designated by tho letters wv. $.
