TELLER AT CHEYENNE.
Immense GENERALIZATION of Bryan
Means Inauguration of a New
System.

Cheyenne, WyO., July 27.-When Sen
ator Teller walked to the front of the
stage at Turner haH at 8 o'clock Sat
urday evening. he was greeted by the
largest audience ever assembled in
Wyoming at a political gathering.
Turner hall is the largest auditori-
um in Cheyenne, and it was crowded to
the doors throughout the meeting
which was a magnificent testimonial
to the silver cause and to the candida
cy of the nominee of the Chicago con-
ventiOn.
Gen. Thompson introduced Senator
Teller as the man who would have
been the choice of three great conven-
tions for the presidency had not his
patriotism lifted him above the plane
of partisanship. When Senator Teller's
name was mentioned the applause was
continuous for several minutes
Senator Teller reviewed the financial
history of the country under bimetal
liSm and under the gold standard and
said the American people are now face
to face with the question Of whether
the gold system is a good thing for
US here to have.
He would put any silver using cOun-
try in the world against any gold
country and show that the. former has
advanced while the latter has gone
back
The Republicans of wyoming he
said, ARE attached to bimetallism and
they are also attached to their party.
They hoped to see it do something for
silver, and hope yet that maybe their
party will change front on this great
question. hoped SO, too, until the
St. Louis convention, when I became
finally convinced that the Republican
party was dictated to by Wall street
and Lombard street.
I did not leave the party in piQue
or passion, and if I thought there was
one chance in five for it to do some
thing for silver, I would have stayed
with it. The st. Louis convention was
the first body of Americans to declare
that the American people are incapa-
Bile of Self-gOvernment.
We propose by the election of Bryan
to inaugurate a new system. The
American system is based on the idea
that the people can maintain a Sys-
TEN of their own. The question is as
important as that of 1861 which took
100000 men into the field with arms to
decide. The continuance of the gold
system threatens civilization itself. I
can see the same agency at work which
brought darkness into the world in the
middle ages, and the perpetuity of
American institutions depends on the
settlement of this question. You can't
maintain a high order of patriotism
and intelligence wichOut the prosperity
of the common people
OF Mr.. Bryan, tbs, speaker said: In
my judgment no I-Qrer or better man
could be nOminted for president than
the Democratic nominee. No ADLER man
has been nominated by either party for
many years"

MUCH BEREAVED MAN.
His Family and Relatives Have
Died

New York, July 27.-After a year of
continuous bereavments Charles F.
Mcclure of Newark, has just added to
his cup of grief the news that his sis
ter and her four children persisted in
Colorado last Friday, victims of the
cloud burst near Morrison and Golden,
in that state. He is almost Frustrated
by the last shock.
Mr.. Mcclure is a master plumber,
living at II Fair street.
Within the last twelve months he has
lost through death, his wife, a daugh-
ter his father, a brother and a broth
er-in-law, the latter being the husband
of the sister who has just been
drowned. This sister is Mrs. Lizzie
HERES. Six years ago this sister and
her husband went west and settled in
Morrison where he engaged in bust
ness. About two months ago HERES
burst a blood vessel and died suddenly,
leaving behind the widow and four
children.
When HERES died Mr.. Mcclure went
to Morrison to help his sister in set
Ting up the estate. He remained until
two weeks ago when he returned east,
leaving Mrs. HERES and several fam
lies in the neighborhood arranging to
go into camp for the balance of the
summer. They tried to induce him to
wait and spend week in camp with
them but his business would not permit
it, so he returned here. Had he re-
manned he would undoubtedly have met
the fate of his sister and other camp

How to Keep Ice water.

The following simple method of keep
ing ice water in common pitcher is
worth knowing: Put a layer of
cotton batting between two sheets
of wrapping paper three inches
higher than the pitcher. Fasten
the ends of the paper and bat
ting together, forming a circle. Paste
a cover over one end of the batting and
paper. This cover, when over a pitcher,
must come close to the stand and so ex-
cIude the air, and ice will keep for a
long time. This paper cover will be
found of great service in a sick room for
both milk and water pitchers.

An experienced physician says there
is nothing more gloomy and depressing
to the spirits of a patient than dark sick
rooms. If the light hurts the patients
eyes, let him be shielded from it by a
screen or curtain, but admit the sun
light as freely as possible to the rest of
the room. Shield the lamp or gaslight
with shade, but let the light be kept
up while the patient is awake In short,
everything must be done that can be
to maintain a cheerful and neat appear
ance in all that belongs to the surround
ing of the invalid.

eyes and wonderful masses Of Jet black
hair, in which a single white lock ap-
peared- Her speech was quick and force
full, while her wit was like the fash of
lightning. From one end of the country
to the other she travelled, insisting upon
equal rights for women.
Then came an incident in her career
which brought her even more promi-
nently to the front. In 1884 her father,
J. E. D. Couzins, was appointed by
President Arthur as United States mar
shall for the eastern district of Missouri.
He at once appointed his daughter as
his chief deputy. She had been his COM
paniOn and helper for years, and besides
she was a lawyer of recognized ability.
During the last year of Mr. Couzins'
term he became i'll, and the entire work
of the Office fell upon his daughter She
performed it with great credit to her
self, and when her father died she was
appointed to serve the unexpired term.
1t was her connection, however, with
the lady board of managers of the
Worlds fair which spread her fame the
widest. She was elected as secretary Of
that body, but whether it was that the
iHt1ammatory rheumatism from which
she had been suffering and which has
now conquered her completely had
spoiled her temper, or whether she was
untitled to work with conventional So
ciety DANES, it is certain that she was
requested to resign before the great ex-
position had fairly commenced. The
committee charged her with extrava-
gance and said that she must be deposed
in the interests of harmony.
The temper of ''Fighting'' Phoebe
was fairly reused by this. She fatty re-
fused to resign. She dashed her oppo-
nents in a most unmerciful manner and
ended by carrying the matter to the
courts, while all the male world looked
smilingly on at what was termed "a
wOman's wrangle.' Right or wrong,
Miss COuzins was ousted and went forth
broken III spirits and health.
Up to within few months she has
lived in comparative ease and quiet,
but her old malady has recently re-
doubled its attacks and now she is con-
lined to an lnva1id's chair

Mr.. Gage Does Not Permit His Lake
to be Used That Day.

The Weary WObhlers, the cycling or
ganization of this city, planned a pic
mic and initiation for yesterday to be
held at G. C. Cages lake, west of the
city But they did not consult the
owner of the lake, not being aware of
the rules regarding its management,
prevent their landing there. The Wob-
blers rode out near there. however, and
camped on the ForkeG farm, where they
made merry.
You can say for me- said Mr.. Gage,
to a State Journal reporter, that that
notice in the morning paper was not
authorized. I saw it in the paper and
went and asked Bob KepIey to tell
them they could not go there on Sun
day. I have spent over So, 900 in fixing
up that lake. People speak of it as a
pond. Why, there are twenty barrels
of fresh water running into it every
day from the spring. I have fixed it I'D
for my friends so that they could have
a nice place to go and battle. I think
six days in the week is enough. I can't
let people go there on Sunday

there on Sunday, and that the premi-

that I had spent over SO, 600 on them"

DECLINES TO RUN.
Democratic Nominee for Governor
Says He Can't Stand on Two
Platforms.

Portland, Me, July PIE. B. Wins
low, the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, made public two letters today
One notified him of his nomination as
governor by the Democratic state con
vention. In this letter the loyal sup
port of the Democracy of Maine was
pledged to Mr.. WinsloW.
The platform of the Maine state De-
mocracy declared for gold and on this
Mr.. Winslow was nominated. After
the Chicago convention declared for
silver there was great pressure brought
to bear to have Mr.. WinslOw stand for
silver on the Chicago platform. Mr.
WinslOw settles the difficulty by de-
clining the nomination.
He says: I have given no express
sions up to the present time as to what
I should do, but have given the matter
a great deal of thought and study and
see but one thing to do and stand as
I wish to with the people of Maine.
That is to decline the nomination so
kindly rendered me. and I assure you
that no one regrets this more than I
do.
Tt is very evident from the free ex-
pressions of opinion that if I wish to
secure the vote of the Democratic party
I shall be obliged to harmonic with
both gold and silver platforms and that
I cannot do under any circumstances"

GROVER AND CARLISLE.
This is the Suggestion for Gold Dem
ocrat Ticket.

New York. July 27.-The Tribune
prints the following:
Prominent Democrats of the anti
snapper stripe do not hesitate to say
that the signs of the times point to the
placing of a third ticket in the field
with Grover Cleveland for president
and perhaps John G. Carlisle of Ken
lucky for the second place.
This sentiment pervades the Reform
club, which is made up, in a large mea-
sure, of Mr.. CIeveIand's personal
friends It is one of the open secrets of
the Reform club that Secretary Olney
and eX-POstmaster General Don NJ
Dickinson have visited Mr.. Cleveland at
Gray Gables to ask his acceptance of
the nomination at the hands of a
sound money" Democracy convention
No unfavorable report has been re-
ceived from Gray Gables. and the Dem
ocratic gold standard men are cheered
by the belief that Mr. Cleveland will
lead them in their fight against free
silver.

Everybody knows that it is fine art
to roll an umbrella correctly. 1t is a
manly art, if one has to judge by the
beautiful condescension with which d
man offers sometimes, in an excess of
generosity, to roll woman's umbrella
for her For the benefit of those be-
nighted ones who have never yet mas
tered this art, it may be well to give
the following formula: The right and
only way is to take hold of the ends Of
the ribs and the stick with the same
hand, then hold them tightly enough
together to prevent their twisting while
the covering is being twirled around
with the other hand.

Poor ''Fighting" Phoebe COuz-
ms Is In Sad Distress.
The, Former Champion of Woman's
Suffrage is Now Ill, Penniless and
Far From Friends.

The Former Champion of Woman's
Suffrage is Now Ill, Penniless and
Far From Friends
III, friendless and penniless, Miss
Phoebe Couzins, who was once a power
in the land, is lying in a sad condition
of want and distress at Los Angeles.
Poor Fighting PhRbei Man ingrati-
tude does not trouble her half SO much
as woman's. For years she stood as the
champion of woman 8 rights. She gave
her time, her money, her energy and
her brilliant genius to the cause.
Yet today she lacks both money and
friends in a state where are gathered
all of the most prominent woman suf-
fragists in the country. But the women
with whom she formerly worked on the
platform, who were pleased to be count
ed as her friends, turn deaf ear to her
appeal for help and tell her that they
have no money to spare for anything
but the cause, and no time to devote to
fallen leaders.
Born in st. Louis of fiery Huguenot
and sturdy English parents, Miss Couz-
ms was barely of age when she began
to demonstrate that she was cast in no
common mold. Before she was 20 she
went TO Washington to study law, and
when she graduated with honors in 1871
the event was 50 uncommon as to excite
general comment. She did not practice
law very long, but turned her attention
to the lecture platform-not that her
legal practice was Improbable, for she
was successful from the start, but she
had determined to devote her life to re-
forming the world.
Poor Phoebel She has spent all her
strength, and the world is still unregen-
crate. She went into the woman suffrage
movement with a vim that gave new
encouragement to the old workers. She
often appeared on the platform with
Susan B. Anthony and other prominent
suffragists and was listened to with per-
haps more attention than they.
Miss Couzins was pleasing platform
figure in those days. She was a tall,
handsome woman, with flashing black

PRETTY LAWN TABLE.

How to Turn the Stump of an Old Tree
to Excellent Account.
Stumps of old trees that have OUT
lived their usefulness and been relega-
ted to the wood pile are not uncom-
monty seen upon lawns, and many at
tempts are made to turn them to artis-
tic and useful account The simplicity
OF the plan illustrated commends itself.
The stump is first sawed to a fat sur
face and then fitted with a top of thick
boards of the desired dimensions. Four
rustic supports or brackets are placed
underneath at the four corners. These
should be as much as possible in their
natural state, with any little crooked
ness or knots allowed to show, as they
add much to the pretty effect on the
whole. The edges, too, of the top
board may be given a rustic tone by

lection of ancient vases from Italy or Greek or Italian workmanship, says the London News. The museum was una- ble to pay the price asked ( 2o,00o-- and declined the bargain. The Ita'ian minister of education, having learned of this. has taken proceedings under the Pacca law against Sig. di Frisco. the owner Of these antiquities. The latter is large land owner at Bosco Ecale. He secretly made excavations on his estate and found 2S silver vases of remote an tiquity.
 Notwithstanding the Italian law pro- hibiting owners of antiquities from sending them out of the country with out leave, or, rather, on account of this law, which prevents old works of art from commanding anything like their natural price in the impoverished coun- try. Sig. di Frisco smuggled his find out of Italy and offered it to Paris dealer for 5000. Continuing meanwhile his search, he found other silver vases, which duly joined their fellows in Paris, and the whole lot was offered to the Louvre. The Italian minister of educa- tion throws interesting light on the facilities which undcrpaid officials are supposed to afford illicit exporters of antiquities. He issues notification that, should any officials be found to have connived at this latest evasion of the Pacca law, they will be criminally prosecuted.

Toilet Noyeitlea

Unless you have bit of Bohemian glass on your toilet table you have no right to iiatter yourself that you are up to date.
 There are any number of odd-shaped Bohemian glass salve boxes, pin trays and hair pin cases, but as yet the brush with a glass back has not been seen.
 Ivory toilet articles decorated with gold are much in favor with those who can afford them. Upon a highly pol ished mahogany table they look very beautiful.
 The Bohemian glass puiy boxes are cxquisite affairs, and much less ex- Hensive than gold or silver ones. The
 uff looks very pretty, showing through
 hc glass box.
 Toilet articles of this delicately col ored glass are one of the present fads of he society woman. It is not the plain Bohemian glass that she favors but the glass that is studded with imitation jewels and wrought with gilt designs. Record.

STRANGEST OF FISHES.
4 Marine wonder at the Coiumbia Uni
 versity.

4 Marine Wonder at the Coiumbia Uni
 versity.
 There is an animal at Columbia uni versity which has neither ears, eyes, head nor heart.
 The absence of the head and heart is naturally the odd feature of this strange creature, which biologists call a lance let. One of them is now being experi- mented on in Columbia university's biological laboratory, says the San Francisco Examiner.
 Although this wonder looks good deal like fish, 1t is really an animal, for there is just as much difference be- tween the lancelet and salmon, for instance, as there is between a man and an ordinary bird.
 Epicureans with n sweet tooth for fish will hail with delight the prospect of having all the lakes and rivers of the country stocked with the lancelct, for n their entire body there is not bone. True, there is a kind of backbone run ming the length of the body, but ns this bone is not bone at all, but only a strip of what ordinary mortals would call gristle, no trouble with fishboncs can follow from the attempt to eat tho animal --Asn a man is in hurry to catch an "L" express.
 Still another advantage exists to a man who wants to eat the lancelet in ? jiffy. This advantage is, perhaps, "one better" than the absence of bones. Every mans eyes perform the function of m Xray machine in good working order, for the lancelct is absolutely transparent in every section of it's ex- traordinary corpus.
