The sound-money people held a confer

SENATOR HILLS PLANS.
He Will Make Himself Heard To-Day
Gold Men May Vote for Him.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO, July 7-To-morrow promises
to be another big day for Senator Hill. He
has expressed himself in terms of strong
est Indignation at the reported determina-
ticn of the credentials committee to oust
a sufficient number of the gold men in
the Michigan delegation to throw the
twenty-eight votes of the State on the sill
yer side and thus secure for the white
metal the two-thrls vote of the conven-
ton. The New York Senator is force
full rather than a brilliant speaker, and,
as he never minces words, the effects of
the speech that he may deliver will be
sensational In the Michigan contest Mr..
Hill will make an appeal for the sovereign
ty of State organization. He knows that
he will be defeated. but defeat never dis
courages the tireless New Yorker. Hills
activity in the Michigan contest will be
promptly equalled by his leadership of the
sound-money forces when the committee
OF resolutions reports a free-silver plat
form. Whether Mr.. Hill hands in minor
ity report or comedies that passing dis
tinction TO some other gold man. he will
in any event lead the opposition 10 free
silver. Several of the speakers to-day
who advocated Senator Daniels election
as temporary chairman made passing. but
significant. allusion to former speeches of
the New Yorker, in which that versatile
statesman had posed as the friend of free
silver. Mr.. Hills remarks on that subject
tomorrow will be of interest when COM
pared with his famous Elmira address.
Thus ii is plain that Senator Hill is de-
termined not to permit himself to be car
ried away from the center of the stage
for an instant. He knows that the free
silver craze will have died away long be-
fore 1900 and he recognizes how important
in that convention will be the magnificent
sound-money record that he proposes TO
make in the convention of 1896. Nor is he
less alive TO the value of good presiden-
tiaI vote in this convention. Hence the
big "I-am-a-Democrat' badges are con-
stantly becoming more numerous. and
there Is every reason to believe that Hill
votes will figure in the balloting. l.. G.

A round tea cloth lately made has
center of fine pale-blue linen, and a
wide border of white linen. The center
is applied to the white cloth, a fine cord
is sewed around its edges, and over this
cord il is button-holed in white silk.
Sprays of bachelor buttons begin on the
blue center, but branch over on the
white border. The white border has
its edges worked with white silk used
to buttonhole the artistic scallops that
finish IL. A pretty cloth that is similar
TO the one described has its center of
pale green, the embroidery OF maiden
hair ferns, and the edge of the white
border. which is cut like turrets, worked
in green, in long and short button

of the cloth a heavy white lace is laid

The Hunt for the Precious Card.

Howard Paul tells good story Of
Artemus Ward. He and Artemus Wis
ited at house one day, where they had
tc wait for some time in a drawing
room. Artemus discovered the card
tray, and observed that his hostess had
been fortunate to obtain the card of u
noble lord, which she carefully dis
played on the top of the pack. He pat
it beneath the carpet unobserved. When
he next paid visit TO the house the card
was back in it's place, nicely scraped
and cleaned. He next hid it on the top
of the curtains. 1t was found again.
Then he tried behind the piano and be-
meath a flower pot, but the precious
card was always got. AT last he hid it
in the family Bible, and that did them.
The house went into mourning.-Week-
