Mrs. Olive G. Butler, Mrs. Evanpelino
Hearth and Mrs. M. A. B. Conine of
Denver have been elected members of
the Colorado house of representatives
Oh the Populist fusion ticket. One of
these Legislators elect, Mrs. Butler, is a
Massachusetts emigrant, q Boston wo-
man, born under the very shadow of
Bunker Hill monument and educated in
the public and private schools Of Massa-
chusetts. She was married, in 1866, to
Simpson D. Butler of Lynn. Mass.
where they resided until 1880. Then
they went to Denver Mrs Butler is a
prominent worker in the Woman's Re-
lief Corps and is post department Sec
retary of Colorado and Wyoming. Mrs.
Butler has always taken deep interest
in public affairs, says the Denver News,
especially since the right of suffrage
was granted the women of that state.
Mrs. Hearth is native Of Prince Ed
ward Island. While she is not extensive
ly known in public life, she has many
friends in her domestic relations. She
has taken an interest in city affairs and
is closely allied to the labor element
through her husband, Mr.. John Heartz,
who was for five years president of the
Bricklayers' international union, No. 1,
of Denver and is now its treasurer.
Mrs. Conine is "clubwoman She
is serving her second term as president
of the North Side Woman's S club, all or
ganization of over 200 members, having
been unanimously reelected last spring.
She has for about the same length Of
time been chairman Of the legislative
committee Of the reform department of
the Woman's club Of Denver, in which
capacity she has spent much time and
effort in thoroughly informing herself
concerning legislation specially needed
by the state. Mrs. Conine has been in
terested in reform movements for several
years, especially since the ballot was
granted to Colorado women. According
to the Denver News, she was nominated
and elected without ever having sat in
a convention or attached herself to any
party, and that she will do herself, her
sex and the parties which selected her
credit in the legislature goes without
saying among all who know her.

Women will have chance to wear

There seems to be little preference
in certain directions, however. The ma
jority of winter shoes have pointed toes,
but not of the sharpest variety. They are
not pretty. They have the air Of having
started out to be round toe and of hav-
ing suddenly concluded to be pointed.
This causes an awkwardness of outline
which, however, may be compensated
for by an increase of comfort.

dence in the windows, but women dc

BRYAN ARRIVES AT RED HOOK.
Incidents Of fills Trip by Rail and Water
Up the Hudson.

the t1uOSOn.
BARRYTowN, n. Y, Aug. 1S.-Mr. and
Mrs. Bryan arrived here from Iryington
yesterday and were met here by Mr. and
Mrs. Pcrrine, who drove them to their
home ut Red Hook. The Bryan party left
Irvington shortly after o a. nj. and at
Bryan's request there was no demonstra-
ton. The party went by train to Yon-
kers and then went by boat to Pough-
keepsie. The passengers on the boat
chcered the party as they came across the
gang plank. When Bryan reached POUCH.
keepsie about 400 people were at the dock
to greet him. They followed him up the
street cheering and shouting for speech.
When he reached the station the crowd
became SO insistent that Bryan finally
yielded to their wishes, and standing out
side the station on a box made a speech,
saying: II am up here for a rest, and 1
did not expect to make speech, but
shall probably not see you again and I
shall take this opportunity to say a few
words to you. / am very glad to see you
all. From the tone of the New York op-
position press one would be led to suppose
that there is no silver sentiment in this
state. l am glad to see here a refutation
of that fallacy, and to notice that even the
great New York dailies cannot stifle the
wishes of the people"
The Bryan party made the trip by rail
from Poughkeepsie here without incident
Bryan laughingly admitted that he had
broken his pledge not to speak while on
the trip, but added: 1.-The crowd was al
! most tearing our clothes of, and had to
do it as n matter Of self-protection." At
Startsburg there were fifty or more peo-
| pie at the station, and the same thing hap
pcned at each of the small stations. The
| train conductor explained 20 Bryan TINT
the number represented about all the male
population Of the place. A bride and
groom on the same car presented them
selves and received congratulations from
both Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan.
An incident of the boat trip was the fact
that the steamboat people had arranged
free transportation for the organs and
dinner for the entire party, including the
newspaper men. Bryan was exceedingly
polite over the matter but insisted on
paying fare and for his own and his wife's
meals, which he did. Bryan said that
newspaper talk If n prepared southern
itinerary was without foundation. Such
a trip would be taken, hut absolutely no
details have been arranged.
| Last evening the people Of three villages
gathered in front of the Perrine home and
the Red Hook brass band serenaded Bryan.
The J. Watts de Peyster gun squad also
paraded in uniform and Bryan made a
