SPEAKER CRISP DEAD.
Heart Trouble Ended Very Useful
Career.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 20. - Charles F
Crisp, ex-speaker of the house of rep
resentatives, died here this afternoon.
The end came at quarter to two
O'Clock Crisp has been an inmate of
the sanitarium of DR.. Holmes, this city,
several weeks. His condition had been
reported very low, but no fatal conclu-
sion of his Illness had been expected so
soon.
Wnen the rumor got abroad several
days ago that he was sinking, 1t was
denied at the sanitarium. His untimely
death makes the choice of senator I'M
certain. Whoever is named will be an
advocate of free silver. Crisp has been
at the sBnitarium five weeks from ma
arial fever The immediate cause of
death was heart failure.
Speaker Crisp's death was not alto
gether a surprise in political circles, as
it had been known for come months
that he had not long to live and never
again could be an active figure in pub
lie affairs. The speaker had several
spells of illness in Washington. He |
suffered from asthma and later from |
heart trouble His ill-health however,
did not become a matter of public no.
toriety until the past spring, when he
was compelled to abondon series of
joint debates with ex-secretary Hoke
Smith, by reason of advice from his
physician that it would impell his life
for him to continue the debate which
had attracted great interest as it involv-
ed the position Of the Democratic party
Of the state of the silver question and ;
he senatorship of Georgia, for which {
he ex.speaker was an active candidate
The silver men won the Eight and Crisp, S
ad he lived would have been the next {
senator from Georgia. t
lie was a forceful speaker and a man t
# great tact and possessed of qualities t
hat fitted him for he leadership Of a {
assemblage. His first prom
hence in national affairs came iron,
he skill with which he led his party in
everal warm election contests. p
He was elected to the speakership fl
fter one of the most memorable can II
asses to the history of the House. His S,
hief opponent was Senator Roger Q. tc
fills of Texas. whom he defeated after g,
struggle so prolonged that the House %.
Representatives, contrary to custom, OF
sembled on the opening day with the w
ext speaker in doubt. r.

POINTS OF THE PLATFORM.

1t Makes No Reference to International
Agreement on the Money Question.
The platform adopted by the National
Democratic party is In substance as fol.
lows
This convention has assembled to up
hold the principles upon which depend
the honor and welfare of the American
people, in order that Democrats through
out the Union may unite their patriotic
efforts to avert disaster from their coun-
try and ruin to their party.
The declarations of tho Chicago conven-
ton attack individual freedom, the right
to contract, the independence of the judi
ciaiy, and the authority OF the president
to enforce federal laws They advocate q
reckless attempt to increase the price Of
silver by legislation to the debasement Of
orr monetary standard and threaten I'M
limited issues of paper money by the gov
eminent. They abandon for Republican
allies the Democratic cause of tariff re-
form to court the favor of protectionists
to their fiscal heresy
In view of these and other grave depart
ures from Democratic principles we can
not support the candidates of that con-
vention, nor be bound by its acts. The
Democratic party has survived many de-
feats, but could not survive victory won
in behalf of the doctrine and policy pro-
claimed in its name at Chicago.
The conditions, however, which make
possible such utterancns from a national
convention are the direct result of class
legislation by the Republican party. 1t
still proclaims, as it has for years, the
power and duty of government to raise
and maintain prices bv law, and 1t pro-

Marblehead's Bad Boys.

1t seems that Marblchead boys have the
reputation Of being the worst In the state,
and q worthy minister who went there to
fill vacant pulpit one Sunday had occa-
sion to verify the truth of this, for on his
way to church he was numerically hooted
and stoned. Filled with righteous indig-
nation, the worthy divine remarked from
the pulpit in mournful tones upon the de-
prayity manifested by the old towns boys.
Some time later he again visited the place,
and this time he met with no insults and
did not even see q single hoodlum on his
churchyard walk. Being just man, he
desired to praise as well as blame, and 30
he said that he was truly rejoicod to sec
that the youth had seen the error of their
ways and had turned aside from the path
of the evildoers. Thercupon arose small
boy in the gallery, who shrieked forth in
glcoful malignity: Don't you believe it,
They've just gone down to Barnegat to
stone funeral, and when they come back
won't you catch it"-Boston Gazette.

How Ono May Be Acquired, For a Con-

The practice of granting arms is still in

Indeed, it Is by patent or grant alone

The modus operandi in England, for
example, ia as follows: The applicant for
patent of arms from the crown) may
employ any member he pleases of the her

memorial of the earl marshal of England,
who acts for the crown in these matters,
setting forth that he, the memorialist, is
not entitled to arms or cannot prove his
right to such, and praying that his grace
the carl marshal will issue his warrant to
the kings of arms, authorizing them to
grant and confirm to him due and proper
armorial onsigns, to be borne according to
tho laws Of heraldry by him and his de-
scendants. This memorial Is presented,
and warrant Is Issued by the earl mar
shal, under which patent Of arms Is
made out, exhibiting painting of the
armorial ensigns granted, the royal arms
of England, the arms of the earl marshal
and those Of the college, and describing in
official terms the proceedings that have
taken place and a correct blazon of tho
arms. This patent is registered in the
books of the heralds' college and receives
the signatures Of the garter and one or
both of the provincial kings of arms.

Our Language as 1t Is Slaughtered By
Many Londoners.
After living awhile in London, writes
Florence Hayward to the st. Louis Repub-
lie, an American begins to think that the
English language Is something like the
Christian religion. In each case the funda-
mental idea may be the same wherever
you find 1t, but the variations on 1t are
bewildering not to say upsetting.
American English Is no more like Eng
lish English-as spoken in London-than
Universalist is like blue Presbyterian.
