THE PHOENIX CLUB.
Enthusiastic Meeting In Scottish
Hall With New Cam
paIgn Songs.

The Phoenix Club ably sustained its rep
utation as successful entertainer by the
large crowd which it drew to Scottish Hall
last evening and by the enjoyable pro-
gramme of music and speaking which it
presented.
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Powers. with Andy Branch, he
of the big legislative voice, in the secre-
tary's chair. Under the head OF good OF
the order. Daniel Irwin sang two CAM
pAign songs, written by Charles Orr OF
Santa Rosa. Mr.. Irwin was accompanied
by his daughter, Alice, on the piano. The
audience joined in the choruses.
Miss Ella Ellis, a young woman with
fine voice, sang two comic songs, In one OF
which she brought down the house by
clever allusion to the success OF William
Mckinley.
William H. Schroeder was the speaker of
the evening. His subject was the free
coinage of silver, and his talk was most
interesting. He began by saying that
four years ago laboring men received good
wages and steady employment. de con-
trasted that period with the present and
with the widespread distress which now
prevails, and added that they could look
to the only party that can help them by
Ing the factory wheels to revolve once
more.
The speaker likened the silver-mine
owner to man who would take his wheat,
worth 81 10 per sack, to the United
states Mint and ask to have the stamp of
the Government placed upon ii, certifying
that ats value was ST. He himself if he
owned grain and thought he could succeed
In increasing its value in that way, would
vote Tor the free coinage of wheat. This
apt Illustration caused a roar of laughter.
MT Schroeder followed this telling hit with
the argument that the difference between
the present value of 66 cents per ounce
and the 10 to value of silver or 81 %. per
ounce, would have to be paid by the tax
payers of the country for the enrichment
OF the silver mine-owners because no man
made laws could eyerse the natural law
OF supply and demand.
The present ratio of silver to gold was
81. 56 ounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold
1t was proposed to change this natural
ratio to 16 ounces of silver to be equal to 1
ounce OF gold, and the difference between
the natural and the fictitious values was
to be paid by every man engaged In every

The Favorable Find He Waited For Has
Come.

BERLIN, GERMANY, Aug. 10. - The
correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger. who
has returned to Hammerfest from Spitz-
bergen, telegraphs that he met Sir William
Martin Conway of the Conway expedition,
who. said he, on August 10, had seen
NJ. Andree, the Swedish explorer, who set
out to attempt TO discover the North Pole
by means of a balloon. Andree thought it
was then too late to start on his balloon
voyage, ana he would probably return
h ONE and go back in April to Spitzbergen,
at which place the balloon voyage was to
begin.
Sir William Conway added that there
was strong south wind blowing the day
after he saw M. Andree, and, as that was
the wind the explorer had been waiting
for, he had perhaps started on the voyage.

"His Wifc,s Father"

Comedian William VI. Crane began his
annual engagement of a month ut Nc
Vickers Chicago theater last Monday,
and was greeted by one of the largest au-
diences of the season. The play that he
presented was Martha Morton's comedy
of domestic life, His Wife's Father"
and it was received with many marks of
approval. Like good wine, the comedy
seems to have improved with age, and
during the short time that 1t will remain
on view it is more than likely to enjoy
the same overlooking measure of success
that attended its presentations in Chi
cago 4 year ago. That Mr.. Crane has
found the play immensely popular. is not
hard TO understand. In the first place the
work is clean, bright, entertaining, and
there is not line in it that would bring
a blush to the most modest cheek. AS
one OF the Chicago papers took occasion
to say editorially last year, it is a good
play for children, as well as for parents.
There are no social problems touched
upon, no disreputable people shown to
the audience, and the lesson taught is one
that strikes home at macy door. This
lesson is taken from the Bible, and is to
the effect that if young people want to be
happy they must, as soon as they marry,
leave the home of their parents, and seek
a nest Of their own. Following this Mr..
Crane has decided 20 present his new
play, THE Governor of Kentucky" This
play was presented in New York for the
first time last January, and it made
decided hit.

Death of Horace RubIcc.

Horace Rublee, editor of the Milwaukee

his eleventh year. He resided in that
State continuously with the exception of
a year as editor of the Boston Advertiser

Three Robbers Riddlcd.

News has just been received at Meeker,l
in the northwestern part of Colorado, of
an attempted bank robbery that occurred
Tuesday. Three men entered the bank,
which is connected with the storeroom of
J, w. IIug,:s 4 Co. Two of the men held
the store employees at bay, while the third
went into the bank cashiers window, and,
firing one shot, ordered the cashier TO
throw up his hands. The order was not
quickly obeyed, and the robber fired
again, whereupon the cashiers hands went
up. The manager of the store was then
forced TO open the bank door, and after
gathering up all the money in sight the
robbers marched the cashier and store
employees into the street with hands up
lifted. They then rushed out the back
way with their booty. Citizens, attracted
by the shots, had pretty well surrounded
the building by this time. and being
armed, opened fire on the robbers, two of
whom, Charles Jones and William Smith,
were KILLED by the first volley. The third
man, George Harris, was shot through
the lungs, dying in two hours. He is fully
identified. Four citizens were wounded,

the many cap finishes at the top of the
sleeve. If desired, this can give the
suggestion of a cape without being one
at all. Have you ever noticed that IL
a sleeve Is large or finished at the Shout
der, especially In tailormade design, the
dress seems suitable for the street with
outfurther covering? For the pretty girl
that is going to produce her effect at
or at the matinee or shopping. a stun
ming vest, handsomely, braided, may
appear and be doubly effective in the
most closely reefed, early season tailor
gown. Made after this second pictured
model, the result Is sure to be striking
and desirable. Braiding is now used
very freely in dress trimming, and
some altogether new effects are got
from 1t. In princess effects-of which
?ew ones appear on every side-all sorts
of relief to severity are given. A corsc-
let, for instance, is braided or embroid-
cred over the torso in front, while 1t
narrows about the waist into girdle
effect. Or, girdle Is simulated Of long
points that are set upward and spread
to the fullness Of the figure, while a
couple of long tab pieces extend down

cut suitable for all of us. Indeed. ar

and accessory will suit the princess to
almost any figure, with the result that
the figure looks its very best, for its
best lines will be set off and its faulty
ones softened or obviated. much more

stltutes ungraceful. artificial and arbi-
trary lines for all the lines of the form.

Reduced Rates for Voters.

After a short conference at Chicago the
Central Passenger Committee determined
to make rate of one fare for the round
trip between all cities aad towns in their
territory for all persons who may desire
to return to their homes for the purpose
of voting. This rate, with the exception
of those made to Canton. which in some
cases are hardly over one-half a cent
mile, is lower than any made by these
this year, the usual concession being one
and one-third fares for the round trip.
In order to prevent use of the tickets by
scalpers 1t was decided that transporta-
ton for distances under 200 miles should
be sold on Nov. 3 only For distances
over 200 miles they viii be sold Nov. =
and 3. This will enable persons TO travel
from one end of the committees territory
to the other and be home in time to vote.
Returning, all persons holding these tick
cts must present them for passage before
midnight of Nov. 4. The territory af
fected by the order is tina; in the United
States north of the Ohio River and be-
tween the meridians of Chicago and Pitts
burg. The trunk lines committee. gov
erning the territory lying east of the
meridian of Pittsburg an, extending TO
the Atlantic coast, will undoubtedly take
like action. Western reads have refused
to make like concession a proposition of
the same character having been voted
down. Passenger men CT these lines de-
clare more people will travel away from
than toward home if low rates are made.

The final picture presents style that
Is much followed by the women who
want their early season gowns to be of
the tailor-made order, and yet to be
free from manly finish. Her Jacket is
sure to be snug, more like n close fitting
bodice than a coat. The 'waistcoat"
may be no more than n little line OF
bright color that widens from where 1t
first appears at the high collar. The
collar itself can be just as independents
ly feminine as you like; indeed, it Is
the vogue just now to make collar and
hat en- suite with dcliciously frivolous
cape, which, worn with more or less
severe cloth rig, misses being too dec
orative and yet tempers saucily tho
severity of the gown. At no time have
the tailor styles seemed to submit
more gracefully to these little fiirta-
tons that millinery always has want
ed to get up with them. For this dress
select a cloth, canvas. tweed, broad
cloth, melton, wool-cheviot, or any of
the many handsome mixed materials
that are less heavy than tweed, yet an
as rich In color effect. Then maintain
a general simplicity in the making and
