PLATFORMS
Several Republican sheets howled
With dendish delight last week over a
clerical error which omitted Oklahoma
from the list OF Territories, for which
statehood was demanded, ia the ma
tional Democratic platform. THE LEA
pEn held at the time that the omission
OF Oklahoma was clearly an error and
cur statement is now verified by the
ST. Louis Republic, Of Thursday, June
80, in which issue Is printed the official
national Democratic platform with the
sign and seal Of the official steno-
grapher, Col f. 3 Dickinson The
statehood plank 10 the official plat
form reads as follows:
admission 4. of States-Wc favor the
admission OF the Territories Of New
Mexico. Arizona and Oklahoma into
the Union as states, and we favor the
early admission OF an the territories
having the necessary population and
resources to entitle them TO statehood,
and while they remain territories we
hold that the officials appointed to ad
minister the government Of any terri
tory, together with the District OF
Columbia and Alaska, should be bona
tide residents OF the territory or dis
trict IN which their duties are to be
performed The Democratic party be-
lieves In home rule aud that all public
lands Of the United States should be
appropriated 70 the establishment OF
free no les for American citizens
Ia this connection readers aud voters
are asked to compare the above cen
vincing clause with the evasive plank
on the Same subject ia the Republican
national platform adopted at St Louis

"early statehood" the Republican
plank asks for statehood at 9Th,

ATLANTIC CRY, n. D., Aug. H.
Forty-seven dead and forty-three in

appalling disaster on "the meadows"
Thursday evening OF these forty
have been identified. Three Of the
unidentified were men and three

or the injured, it is more than
probable that four or five will die
Many Of the others are injured only
supertieially.
The investigation into the cause of
the collision, and the fixing of the re-
sponsibility began yesterday IN earn
est Coroner Mclaughlin impaneled
a jury. At o'clock the jury met for
the purpose of visiting the scene of
the wreck This time the party was
augmented by several lawyers. po-
lice officers and group of newspaper
men.
There is cry general impression
that under tAe mass Of debris at least
7ix more bodies lie. The jury made
an exhaustive examination OF the
ground and devoted considerable time
to the inspection of the signals, which
still remain as they were at the mo-
ment of the accident.
George f. Hauser, who has charge
of the tower, and who is now under
arrest has made several state ments
to the police. He told them he saw
both trains coming when both were
sufficiently far away to admit OF full
| display of signals, but as the West
/ Jersey was the nearest he gave the
Reading the red light and signaled 10
| the excursion train to come ahead
| The Reading, however, never Stacked
/ speed, but came on.
Last night Coroner Mclaughlin
called Hauser before him and gave
him hearing. II was a painful per
functory and but little was said.
Hauser refused TO make any state
ment whatever at this time, aud was
held IN $500 bail for n future hearing
Bail was furnished and he was re
leased.
The center of interest yesterday
was the improviscd morgue, and {
strange spectacle for this city OF pro
), verbal gaity was the continued pro
cession of undertakers wagons bowl
ing along Atlantic avenue, the princi
pal thoroughfare, carrying bodies L
that place, and later 90 the Pennsyl
vania railroad station. Inside tn
morgue tragic scenes were being enact
ed throughout the day. Scenes OF
like character were occurring at tn
same time at the sanitarium, wher
the injured lie, and where seven die
yesterday. Almost every iDcomin
train brought crowds OF grief-striclse
relatives and friends.

SUFFERING IN SILENCE.

Women are the real heroes OF the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar TO womankind in the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
months, years. The story of weakness
and torture is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, III the list
less eyes, III the lines of care and worry
on the face.
Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope of
relief lies in the exposure of examina-
ton and "local treatment"
Take ten cases of "1emale weakness"
and in nine of them "local treatment"
is unnecessary, There is no reason why
modest, sensitive women should sub

The Needle and the Pin.

A pin and needle, being neighbors
in "a workbasket and both being idle
folks, began to quarrel, as idle folks are
apt to do.
81 should like to know" said the
pin, "what you are good for and how
you expect TO get through the world
without head?"
''What is the use of your head" re-
piled the needle sharply, "if you have
no eye?'
"What is the use of an eye, said tEo
pin, ''if there is always something in
it?"
81 am more active and can go through
more work than you cam" said the
needle.
eyes, but you will not live long be-
cause you have always stitch in your
side," said the pin.
"You are poor, crooked creature, F"
said the needle.
"And you are so proud that you can
not bend without breaking your back. "
"I'll pull your head off if You insult
me again.
'1'll pull your eye out If you touch
me. Remember, your life hangs on a
single thread" said the pin.
While they were thus conversing q
little girl entered and, undertaking to
sew, she very soon broke off the needle
at the eye. She then tied the thread
around the neck of the pin, and, attempt
ing to sew with it, she soon pulled its
head off and threw it into the dirt by
the side Of the broken needle.
''Well, here we are, !" said the needle.
1--WE have nothing to fight about
now" said the pin. ut seems misfor'
tune has brought us to our senses. !"
"A pity we had not come to them
sooner" saith the needle. "How much
we resemble human beings, who quarrel
about their blessings till they lose them
and never find out they are brothers till
they lie down in the dust together, as
we do!''-Househol Words.

He has used liquor as beverage since

The Sleeping Disease.

On the western coast of Africa they
have singular and always fatal malay
which is known as the sleeping disease,
says the Pittsburg Dispatch. The person
attacked by it is seized with sensation
of drowsiness, which continues to IN
crease in spite of the efforts made to
throw it off. Finally the patient sinks
into a profound sleep, which continues
for about three weeks, or until death
ensues. The most curious feature OF the
disease is that, aside from the drowsl-
ness. the patient seems much as usual
The pulse, respiration and temperature
are normal. while he may be easily
aroused and will take nourishment and
answer questions in perfectly natural
manner.
