Conditions Under Which PIatt VIII
Run Morton for Second Place.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 12.-The arrival
of Senator Quay was the only interesting
episode of to-day. His headquarters were
soon thronged with motley crowd of poll
ticians, newspaper men and curious ones
anxious to get glimpse OF the great Penn
sylvania politician. Senator Quay de-
clines to make any statement for publica-
ton tonight, but to an intimate friend he
contided his opinion that Governor Nor
ton would have the Vice-P Presidency if Mr..
Platt would only say the word, but Mr..
Platt will not knuckle to the Mckinley
men. He declares that inasmuch as Mr..
Morton has been indorsed for the Presi-
dency by the greatest of all the States his
name shall be presented to the convention
and voted upon for President. 1t is be-
lieved, however that Mr. Platt expects to
make a deal whereby Governor Morton
will consent to take the Vice Presidential
nomination, provided the platform is for
sound money on the basis of single gold
standard. OF course Mr.. Platt realizes
that any farther opposition to McKlnley's
nomination is hopeless.
He appreciates the TACT that the McKin-
ley people would rather have Morton
nominated for Vice President than any
other candidate mentioned. 1t is believed,
therefore, that his efforts will now be di-
rected toward securing as strong a gold
plank as he can in the platform. He
would like to have it much stronger than
the Indiana platform.
The wiseacres say that Platt will soon
have it made known that Morton will con-
sent to accept the ce-PresidentIal race
on a single gold standard platform. OF
course, the platform will be adopted be-
fore the nominations are made, and if the
financial plank is strong enough to suit
Mr.. Platt Governor Morton's name will
90 before the convention for Vice Presi-
dent In short, Mr.. Platt is ready to
enter his friend, Governor Morton, In the
Vice Presidential race provided the fin
ancial plank of the platform declares for
the gold standard, but if the financial
resolutions are no stronger than the In
diana platform declarations Governor
Morton will not be candidate.
The free silver men will hold a caucus
tomorrow upon the arrival OF Senator
Teller of Colorado. The concensus of opin-
ion is that the financial plank will be
drawn on the lines of the Indiana plat
form, and, this not being altogether accept
able to Mr.. Platt, Governor Morton's name
will not be presented for Vice President,
and the ticket nominated will be Mckinley
and Hobart. G. C. CARLTON.

QUAY WILL WITHDRAW.
He Believes Mckinley to Be Sure
Winner.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 12.-An impor-
tant conference was held in Senator
Quay's rooms late tonight, at which,Se
ator Quay, Mark Hanna, Mr.. Hahn, Ma
tional committeeman from Ohio, Hobart
of New Jersey. Samuel Fessen-
den of Connecticut and w. Andrews
of Pennsylvania were present, and
at which, it is said, it was prac-
tically arranged that Mr.. Quay should re-
tire from the contest for the Presi-
dency. He, said athe contests which
were now under consideration by
the National Committee were of little
or no consequence, because it was evident
that Mckinley already had over 500 un-
contested votes. making it evident that
the people demanded his nomination. He
acquiesced in the suggestion that MeKin-
ley should be nominated by acclamation.

WHAT DUBOIS WILL DO.
An Uncompromising Fight to Be
Made for Silver.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 12.-Sena-
tor Dubois of Idaho, who is Senator
Teller's chief lieutenant in the fight for
free silver, will leave tomorrow for st.
Louis, where he will join the Colorado
Senator and the Republican silver men.
1--WE will make the fight for silver" said
Senator Dubois tonight, ''in the commit
tee on resolutions and on the floor of the
convention. If we fail we shall go down
with our colors flying"
'Would a compromise be acceptable to
your" was asked.
'.The time for compromise is past"
'In the event of the convention adopt
ing platform satisfactory to you and the
other silver Republicans what will be your
course?"
What we will do if the platform does
not declare for silver" responded Mr.
Dubois, ''is matter for the future to de-
termine We will battle for our convlc-
tions to the bitter end. If the majority is
against us we will act as our best iudg-
ment dictates"

PLATT VISITS HANNA.
Terms, However, Not Made With
McKinIey's Manager.

Terms, However, Not Made With
McKinley's Manager.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 12.-Thomas G.
Platt has been to Mr.. Hanna's room and
Messrs. Patt and Hanna have talked
matters over. That much is certain, and
the feverish energy with which Hanna
denies this fact detracts nothing from It's
truth.
Platt's first appearance on the scene last
night, when he threatened that his men
would walk out of the convention if the
Platt delegates are turned down was not
calculated to encourage the dove of peace.
Nor is there an understanding between
the two men at present in spite of their
meeting to-day. Mr.. Hanna would make
Platt no promises regarding the treatment
to be accorded to the Platt delegates by
the National Committee or by the conven-
ton, nor did Mr.. Platt indicate any
enthusiasm toward Mr.. Hannas tentative
suggestion Of Morton's name for the Vice
Presidency. The truth is that Hanna be-
lieves Platt is bluffing as regards the
threatened bolt and therefore he proposes
to stand pat for a time at least.
Mr.. Platt has sent for all the colored
delegates who have been rejected by the
National Committee, and has made them
fair promises of rehearing for their cases
before the convention. He has thus gath
cred around him possible following,
which, however, will probably melt away
before the convention meets.
All the hotel corridors bloom with ex-
pensive and artistic photographs of the
Pennsylvania Senator, and handsome
Quay badges are on almost every coat
lapel. Mr.. Quay has given Platt little
consolation, however, and it remains to be
seen how much Mr.. Platt can accomplish
alone. Platt, despite his defiant attitude,
is by no means irreconcilable, but the price
Of his surrender is at present considered too
high by Mr.. Hanna. Besides the gold
standard Mr.. Plat wants Hanna to notify
the Warner Miller element in New York
that the Mckinley managers regard him
as the legitimate leader of New York poll
tics and that all the bitter opposition to
his rule must cease.
Secretly Mr.. Hanna is as anxious as
Platt for this very situation, because he
believes the bitter factional fight now rag
The San Francisco call., 1896-06-13

ing in the Empire State may jeopardize
the success of the National ticket next
fall. However he will not treat further
with Mr. Platt until that gentleman mani
tests a more amiable frame of mind than
he showed at to-day's brief meeting. Be-
sides Hanna will hardly make final terms
with Mr.. Platt until the arrival OF Null
holland and the anti-Platt contingent.
John Wise, Horace Porter and Edward
Brookfeld, opposition leaders, came in to-
night and Immediately repaired to the
Hanna headquarters. The New York fight
will come up in the National Committee
tomorrow probably and as it progresses
events will develop which will have signi-
ficant bearing on the final selection OF
either Mr. Morton or Mr.. Hobart as Vice
President c. G. CARLTON.

QUAY ON THE SCENE.
FURRY Caused by the Arrival Of the
Pennsylvania.

PennSylVanlan.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 12.--The arrival
of Senator Quay of Pennsylvania late this
afternoon stirred into activity the some
what languid political gossip. The Sena-
tor was accompanied by his son, Richard
Quay. A numb ber of newspaper men called
at his apartments on the fourth floor of
the Southern Hotel when his presence
there became known. Beyond announc-
ing that he was in the Presidential race
and that his name would be presented to
the convention by General Hastings Mr..
Quay declined to be interviewed. He ex-
pressed entire ignorance as to what kind
of platform the conven ton was likely to
adopt. He also declined 10 say whether it
was his purpose, as had been stated by
some of the Pennsylvania delegation, to
transfer the vote of his State from himself
to Mckinley when Pennsylvania was
reached on the rollcall. and generally he
manifested to his newspaper callers a
much greater desire to receive than to give
news,

Prominent Men Preparing to Cele-

CANTON, OHIO, June 12.-General W.

been favorably mentioned for temporary
chairman of the St. Louis convention,
called upon Mckinley for several hours
this morning. He came from Cleveland.
After a consultation with the Governor
General Fairbanks returned to the Forest
City at noon. General Fairbanks said he
had nothing to say for publication. Other
callers on the Governor during the day

nomination. A half dozen more st. Louis
cyclones could not stop it. That being the
case, what has he to gain by talking? He
could only injure himself He is very
wise in keeping silence and allowing the
Republican platform to talk for him. OF
course, if he was not sure of the nomina-
ton and could gain anything by talking
1t would be all right for him to go ahead
and talk"

PTTTSBURG, Pa, June 12.-Governor
Hastings and party left here at 9:30 to-
night for st. Louis, where the Governor
will present the name of Senator Quay to
the convention as a candidate for the
nomination for the Presidency. The Gov

for the Presidential nomination, but
said that it would not be proper for him
to refuse it before it was offered TO him.
He will vote for the gold standard.

laced boots and oxford ties, but never
in buttoned boots.
For evening wear in warm weather
there is nothing smarter than the black
or embroidered silk sock and the patent
leather pump or the plain buttoned pat
ent leather shoe with cloth top.
Last summer, as for several previous
summers, the fashion here seemed to
run to tremendously broad brimmed
straw hats, whereas in London, when
ever straw hats were permitted-at As
cot, where they were always permitted,
and Homburg, where they were accept
ed as matter of fact-the brims were
all narrow, the crowns high. 1t may be
that the warmth of our western sun has
exacted the very wide brim for our
straw hats; but, after all, when the
brim is enough to keep the sun out of
your eyes, what is the use of building out
long piazza all round your head? 1t is
not only unbecoming, but soon wastes
away and becomes pulp and receptacle
for dirt and dust.
The mode for straw hats this summer
will repudiate the exaggerated rims of
last season and come back to reasonable
and much smaller brims. AS for the
many colored ribbons which are SO pop
ular, have we not now 100 and more
golf clubs, each with its own particular
color, to make our straw hats radiant?
AS for gloves, few men care to wear
gloves in spring and summer here, but
almost every well dressed man carries
pair in his hand as he strolls up and
down Fifth avenue. Dogskin has prac-
tically gone out of use for summer wear,
although some English makers are send
ing them out here as thin and light as
ladies' opera gloves. The most popular
glove will be the light giants de suede in
pearl gray colors
AS for walking sticks, do not see
any chance Of revival, and am glad
there is not, of the heavily mounted
canes in gold and silver find the most
fashionable dudes of the day sticking
to an ordinary stick, without ornamen-
tation of any kind IA stick which might
cost shilling or half dollar. This seems
to be in keeping with the general aban
Comment of jewelry for neckties and
shirt studs
The cost of dressing, therefore, as to
jewelry and other elegancies, may be,
and probably is, yearly less but, Oh the
other hand, the variety of clothes now
considered the thing to have in ones
wardrobe, even if worn only once, more
than makes up for the economy in other
directions. New York Herald

ployed, too, for very handsome gowns
for afternoon wear. 1t is one of these
that the artist next presents, a dress
of amethyst silk, whose skirt is tucked
twice around the hem and further gar
nished with panels of yellow satin.
These continue up the bodice and dis
appear under two straps that extend
from the round yoke. The latter is fin
ished with a satin stock collar and lace
frilling, a triple basque trims the hips
and a triple set of ruffies finishes the
yoke. The sleeves are composed of al
ternate bands of satin and cloth, the
latter tucked to conform to the remain

in back and front and ended in short

the ones already in use. Use of the
newest sorts is made of any hand
some brocade or velvet. 1t Is short
and not cut to whirl about the hem,
but Is, on the contrary, put merely full
on the collar band, and hangs as SIM
ply as little red riding hood cape. A
very large practicable hood is run on
the collar band, beginning at the fast
ening of the cape in front, and the ex-
ira fullness of the hood is drawn into
a button at the back. This hood and
the whole cape is lined with bril-
liant satin or silk contrasting with the
outside of the cape, about the edge of
the hood is set ruche or rutfie of lace
and sometimes the whole hood is lined
with lace over the silk lining At any
rate, 1t must be elaborated so that

and about the face the face seems to
be the chief blossom of very big
bouquet You will, if you are wise,
consider first whether under any cir
cumstances your face can look like
blossom, but if it really can, then go
ahead and put yourself into this sort of
hood.
This kind of a cape is generally worn
with an evening gown, which may be
so very simple that the whole effect
shall center in the cape. This means
that the cape is chiefly planned for out
of-door dances and garden parties, or
for box use at the theater, where the
wrap is not entirely laid aside. One
further particular of the cape's con-
struction may be added, though it is
hardly necessary, and that is that the
Inevitable ruff is put about the neck.
This notion prevails generally, and
promises to hold for some time. 1t
is not peculiar to evening capes, but
extends to all sorts. In the example
pictured here the neck is encircled by
pleated chiffon ruching, which holds
spray of poppies in front. This pen
dant bloom may be of any sort, but as
poppies trimmed this hat, so they were
added to the ruche. The cape itself is
pleated chiffon trimmed with black
satin ribbon near the edge and lined
with colored taffeta. 1t has no yoke,
but commences directly at the collar,
which is only narrow band. The
large revers of black satin end in knots
and hold two long sash ends of black
satin ribbon that fall nearly to the bot
tom of the skirt.
Low-necked morning gowns are being
shown by importers. They are nice to
look at and are kept from seeming like

AT PEACE DURING WAR.
His Only Happy Time When He Was nj
the Front.


Unlike most men, R. @. Young, when
he babe bis wife goodby and marched off
to join his command in the civil war,
heaved sigh of relief and went into
the thick of the fight with light heart.
He smiled when shot and she'll burst
over his head. He was happy. He was
away from his wife.
He filed petition for divorce the 9th
or day asking that he be legally sepa-
rated from his wife, who resides in At
lanta. He states that since his marriage
in 1859 his life has been constant bur-
den because of the strange actions of his
wife. His wife, he states, constantly
abused him and was a promoter of
strife among the children, of which he
had seven.
The petition states that the only peace
in his life was during the years of 1861
when he was soldier in the civil war

council of Atlanta. He now resides in

Very few inscriptions are available
for engraving ON wedding rings, lockets,
bracelets. etc, writes Mrs. Garrett Web
ster in The Ladies' Home Journal, as
the space for engraving is SO limited.
For this reason the Hebrew word "Miz-
pah, with its small form and exquisite
sentiment, is, and has always been,
great favorite between lovers Love
inspires love, Love today while we
may, ""God saw thee most fit for me, 3"
Love and trust, No heart more true
than mine to you, ""I am thine, thou
art mine" and its well known French,
German and Latin forms are all great
favorites A charming fashion is the u.s.
age of two rings, in each one of which
half the phrase is engraved, the two
when read together giving the complete
quotation. The last quoted sentiment is
the favorite for this purpose. Latin and
French phrases are frequently used in
this connection because of their brevity.
"Prendre moi tel que je suis, F" 'Take
me just as 1 am" "Tuam tuebor, II
will defend thee;" "Semper fidelis,
always faithful !" "Une je servirai, "
Zone will serve"-are a few of the
most used phrases, with their transla-
lions.

the futed basque. Taffeta was used
for lining in this model, but lining is not
essential unless the material is espe.
cially thin. When lining is used, how
ever, it will be better If bright colored.
AS to shirt waists, they become more
and more discouraging, because they
cost dreadfullly and are not very pref
ty. Grass linen in natural color barred
or striped with green or dark-blue
seems the swagger thing, and these are
shown with adjustable collars. The
collar worn with such a shirt may be
solid linen or white, as is preferred,
but there is so much difference be-
tween the price of a shirt with collar
made on 1t and one with adjus table
collar that the average woman is in
despair. The latter costs n lot, and yet
1t seems almost essential to be able to
put on a fresh collar without changing
the whole shirt. Whisper! here is
little trick. But shirt with collar on
1t. When the collar needs changing,
pouf! snip it off! Cut well above the
neck line so that collar band may be
left. When you have overcast the raw
edge and worked a buttonhole at the
back of the band for the back collar but
ton, your shirt is all fitted for adjusta-
BILE collars. The collar you have cut
off can't be used any more because it
was cut above its own front bu.tonhole
but you had one wear out of il. Thir-
teen and a half is the collar the average
woman takes, though thirteen and four
teen are each much called for.

Are Lovers Still.

John L Jones, aged 80, and Mrs
Melissa Brown, aged So, were married
at New Buffalo, Ind, recently.
The romantic feature of their mar
riage is the fact that the couple were
lovers 60 years ago, and after being en-
gagged parted, with the understanding
that if their love did not grow cold they
would be welded in their old age. They
became separated, and each mourning
the other as dead both finally married.
Recently they were brought together,
and the vows made half century ago
have just been fulfilled.
