A SPANISH GONG.

Sometimes the wheel stands within the hall--that is, it can be so arranged, while the chain and ball are suspended outside the door.
 When intended simply as pretty piece of house furniture--as a dinner gong, for instance-the wheel bell is made of polished white wood, sycamore perhaps; in the arch which supports the wheel, blocks of walnut wood alter nate with the sycamore. The shafts and capitals are of white wood. The wheel is of sycamore and carved. The chain of wrought iron, suspended from the wheel over a hinged bracket of carved syca- more. springs from a lapis lazuli knob, and the ball at the end of the chain is of lapis lazuli. The arch shown in the il. lustration is designed from one in the mosque at Cordova.-Detroit Free Press.

 PEORIA, IL, June 2A.-John F. Alt geld is the nominee of the democratic party for governor of Illinois and was elected one of the delegates-at-large to the Chicago convention. He was unanimously placed at the head of tho ticket yesterday afternoon. He had no opponent, and few moments be- fore the honor was thrust upon him declared he did not want it. He said so at the conclusion of one of the most impressive speeches ever made before democratic convention. He said he was physically unable to lead the fight, and his financial affairs were in bad shape and needed his attention. No sooner had he mentioned his desire to retire from public life than there came an impassionsd

ONLY HOPE OFTHE DEMOCRACY.
The, Tariff Smashers Have Got to Work
 on New Issue.

The. Tariff smashers Have Got to Work
 on New Issue.
 The commitment of the democratic party to free silver by so many state conventions is to q large degree rhe expression of antagonism to Cleveland. The rank and file of the democratic party are making of Grover the scape- goat for the party. Upon his head are laid all the evils of the deficit producing Wilson tariff law and the piling up of the bonded debt for which it was pri- marily responsible; and he is to be driven forth into the desert as propi- tiation for the sins of his party.
 Besides this, the democratic leaders are agonizedly anxious to change the issue." They fought and won the bat tie of 1899 under the banner of low tariff, and were championed and led by Cleveland himself. They humbugged and deceived the people completely. Never in our history has an unsound political theory been so quickly exposed and found worthless. Not one of the main democratic arguments for low tariff, presented from every stump in 1899, but is secuted to-day as false and pernicious to the people.
 Face to face with the certainty of de- served and overwhelming defeat at the hands of q deceived and outraged peo- pie, the only hope of the democratic leaders is in new issue. They desire to make the people forget all about the tariff failure. They want to get them stirred up on another fallacy, in the hope that the battered old hulk of democracy may ride on a tidal wave once more into the haven of national control. Hence they have taken up the free silver fallacy and propose to re- peat the tactics of 1899. They will again attempt a wholesale misleading of the voting masses into the support of false and ,pernicious theory.
 Can the people be fooled q second time? The free silver at sixteen to one theory is even worse than the low tariff theory. The very men who would suf- fer most, were it to be put into opera ton, would be the men who were hit hardest by the tariff failure-the work ingmen, those who work for wages. It would mean financial panic so severe that the one of 1893 would be insignif- cant beside it. In place of reducing wages from ten to fifteen per cent, it would reduce them one-half at one stroke. And this reduction would come to every man who is on salary or hire, from the president of the United States down to the humblest street laborer. Are the people such fools as to be gulled the second time within the short space of four years Toledo Blade.

NO FALSE SOUND.
Tho Republican Platform Win Be Pru
 tective to All.

The Republican Platform Will Be Prv-
 tective to All.
 When Gen. Benjamin Harrison, then president of the United States, said that protection was not matter of sched- ules but of principles, he compassed the whole question. MT. Thurston enlarged a little upon Harrison's definition when he assured the St. Louis convention and the world that the republican party will insist upon protection that pro- tects, and reciprocity that reciprocates. thereby securing the best market to American products, and opening Ameri- can factories to the free coinage of American muscle" This eloquently expressed sentiment provoked uproari- ous enthusiasm. Schedules are matters of detail that can be arranged easily when congress is informed by the principles of protection.
 The platform of the republican party will be protective to all. The pensioner will be protected in enjoyment of his pension; the farmer in the market for his wool and grain. The workman will be protected against unrestricted com petition with the ill-paid labor of the old world. And the producer of silver will be protected also against undue de- preciation of this metal.
 For the currency resolution con- cludes thus:
 "All our silver and paper currency must be maintained at a parity with gold, and We favor all measures designed to main- tain invioably the obligations of the United States, and all our money, whether coin or paper. at the present standard. the of the earth"
 The personal organ of 0 gold mono- metallist declares that "the last sen- tence is surplusage." But it knows bet ter. The resolution means what it says, and not more nor less than it says. The committee on resolutions was not a body of tricksters, and the convention was not body that could be deceived by tricksters.
 The platform in the main is a decla- ration for protection, prosperity and patriotism. It may please the mug wump to argue that the platform is something different from what it ap- pears to be, but the people will believe that it is just what it is.-Chicago Inter Ocean

How to Revive Black Lace.

Black lace which looks shabby can be revived by being washed in strong tea, which should be tepid; squeeze the lace well in the tea, then rinse it with fresh lea, and let it remain for about an hour; then remove and carefully squeeze the ace; spread it evenly on cloth and beat it between the hands to abstract the moisture. Spread the lace out, riShtside downward, on sheet of com mon toolscap paper, placed on the iron ing sheet; carefully pull out the points Of the lace with pin, then cover with more paper, and iron until perfectly smooth and dry. If it is necessary that the lace should be slightly stitfened, add little gum arabic, which has been previously dissolved, to the tea.-Chicago Tribune.

CARE OF CLOTHES.

Dresses Should Be ventilated BefOre Be
 ing Put Away In Closets.
 The necessity for the proper ventia- ton of clothing that has beer worn can not be too strongly insisted upon. It is u menace to health to hang clothing that has been worn at once in close closet where no air can reach it. The excellent costumer or pole to hang clothing on in the room where it can be dried and ventilated properly before it is put away found little market. They are d great convenience. Not only can they be used to temporarily hold gar mcnts that have been worn outdoors, but also to hold the clothing at night, which is usually somewhat carelessly thrown over a chair. After wearing Il gown outdoors the edge is usually damp, and it always needs brushing and folding. that cannot always be done when it is taken off. If the dress hangs on the costumer it will thoroughly air . and dry. and it may be brushed after ward and then hung away in the per manent closet. When not in use the "costumcr" may be set away in the closet. Wherever 1t is possible there should be small windows in clothes closets for ventilation. Delicate dresses may be hung in cotton bags to protect their color from the light.-N. Y. Trib-

shout of disapproval, not only from the delegates, but from thousands of people who were crowded in the hall. It was a strange convention and will not soon be forgotten. It was in session only little over five hours. Nearly all the candidates were nomi- mated by exclamation. There was no strife. There were no acrimonious speeches save those directed against the enemy. The convention, as had been predicted, came out strongly for free silver. and so instructed its dele gates-at-large to the national conven- tion. The platform was almost dia- metrically opposite in all its parts to that of the republican party, and the 1,O65 delegates voted unanimously for its adoption.
 TWO DEMOCRATIC FACTIONS IN TEXAS
 AUSTIN, Tex, June 24-The two wings of the democratic party met in separate session yesterday for the pur- pose of electing delegates to Chi cago and, as both factions held sep arate conventions there was very lit. tie friction between either meeting. The gold standard convention decided to thoroughly organize the democratic party in Texas by electing a new ex. ecutive committee and further calling of state convention at Waco on An. gust 25 to nominate full state ticket from governor down. The gold men avowed intention is to give no quar- ter to the silver men. They selected delegates to Chicago and also elected presidential electors.
 WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS FOR GOLD.
 MINIATURES, June 24.-The demo- cratic state convention met here yes terday. Ex-Gov. George w. Peck called the convention to order. The first test of strength came on a motion tee without reading. The silver men were outvoted. The platform indorses Cleveland's administration, compli- ments the Wisconsin senators for their course in congress, declares for tariff reform, and opposes the free coinage of silver and is in favor of gold. Will liam F. Villas was elected one of the delegates-at-large to Chicago.
 INDIANA DEMOCRATS FAVOR FREE sILvEA.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 24-The democratic state convention met in this city to-day at ten o'clock. There were l,747 delegates present. B. F. Shiveley will, it is believed, be the nominee for governor. There is little doubt that the convention will adopt an ultra free silver platform.

warships In New York Harbor Preparing
 for Active Service.
 WASHINGTON, June 24.-Unless sig nificant signs fail, the squadron of United States warships just now sta. Etioned in the harbor of New York will be dispatched soon on an important mission. Those who should be in DO. sition to know say the destination will be the coast of Cuba. During the last week work on all the vessels has been doubled in response to special order received from the secretary of the navy. The nature of this order cannot be ascertained. Every boat of the North Atlantic squadron except the New York, which is still in dry dock, was taking in coal yester. day. On the Newark, Montgomery, Cincinnati and Indiana there was constant stir and hustle. From dawn until darkness boats laden with pro visions crowded alongside. Two barges were kept busy all day pilina coal into the bunkers Officers admit. ted that services were omitted on board the ships on Sunday, but explained it by the necessity of making repairs so that the ships might be in condition to take the naval militia on their annual cruise early in July. When asked if he expected orders togo to Cuba. Capt. Farquahr, commanding the Newark, said: That can't talk about. Only the admiral is authorized to speak on that point"

AMERICAN DRESSMAKING.
Why It Does Not Come Up to the French
 in General Effect.

Why It Does Not Come Up to the French
 in General Effect.
 Felix says American dressmakers ,,oke better dresses than the French dressmakers, put better materials into them, fit them just as well, sew them better, and then, he says, spoil them by too much scwing-too much of what can't translate better than calling it "cut-and-dredness" The French study effects, and let the details take care of themselves. But they pay great deal of attention to details of one sort, if not those .f another. The French woman doesn't care whether the stuff is chcesecloth or satin, side-plaited or gathered, so long as it makes her look well, but she dotes on having her lin grrir, her gloves, her shoes, her veils, her entire outfit, perfectly au fait.
 The French mind adores elegancies. It goes into raptures over it's own de- vices in garnitures. French workwom- en like to do decorative work in dress making, but they hate to finish the in- side of bodice as our American dress makers feel that they must finish their work. Anybody who has ever tried to make hat or bonnet knows that she not infreQuently secures good effect in the trial arrangement, and spells it all when the sewing is done by making it look stiff and ugly. The French do not believe in much sewing, and by eschewing as much of it as they can, they do get graceful, airy effects that arc quite their own.

Wives Who Are by Nature Unfitted to
 Make Happy Homos.
 There is the wife who is stunned and miserable because she discovers that marriage is not lasting picnic; who cannot realize that her husband must be different from the lover; and spends her days in impotent whining. She is always being neglected, and always talk. ing offense; she has an unsuitable cray. ing for attentions. and needs continual assurances of affection, wasting her time and feelings in getting up pa- thetic scenes of accusation, which final ly weary and then alienate her hus- band. Her own fault! There is noth. ing Q man hates more than a woman going sobbing and complaining about the house with red eyes unless it be a woman with whom he must live in q perpetual fools paradise of perfection.
 There are also discontented wives who goad their husbands into extrava- gant eNpend iture and urge them to projects frorA which they would nat urally recoil. There are others whose social ambitions slay their domestic ones, and who strain every nerve, in season and out of season, and lose all their self-respect for few crumbs of contemptuous patronage from some person of greater wealth than their own. Some wives fret if they have no children, others just as much if chil. dren come. In the first case they are disappointed; in the second incon- venienced, and in both discontented. Some lead themselves and others wretched lives because they have not three times as many servants as are necessary; still greater number be- cause they cannot compass life of constant amusement and excitement.- North American Review.
