FASHION NOTES.
Made Gny With Ribbons.

Cloth gowns are made in the coat fashion, with the waistcoat elaborate and the skirt plain, the result being a gown that really serves several purpos- es well, Laces and ribbons, particular ly the latter, appear on all the gowns and coats, though 1t is pleasant to re- port that the incest costumes are made without the tasteless sprinkling of but tons that marred so many of the early modes. Ribbons in some cases consti- ute almost the whole of bodice, and While the result makes an impression by means of it's novelty and ingenuity, 1t also suggests freallishness almost too strongly. Ribbon trimming can be used very freely and still beautify, and there's no need of going to excess. The accompanying picture shows dress of violet peau de soie that is very prettily ornamented with the same shade of

Peat carbon, which is almost pure, is now used in England for carbonizing arnor plates The carbon is made into ( plate of the size and shape of the steel plates to be hardened, and is then forced into the surface of the metal by hydraulic pressure. It is asserted that in this way a hardened plate can be procured in one-third the time usually and tougher in the back, and will give greater resistance than anything hith- erto produced.

In addition to the threatened trouble of adverse legislation, the Massachu- setts Benefit Association has been hit hard by Supreme court decision against the validity of its form Of as- sessment. Its certificate of insurance provided plainly for an annual payment of S10 and an assessment on the death of any member of an additional sum of s16.25 and for nothing more But an assessment call was issued which ex- presSly stated that was for "disabil- ity" as well as mortuary purposes. A member who refused to pay this assess ment on the ground of it's illegality sub sequently died and the payment of the s5,000 insurance policy was contested on the ground that the certificate of insurance was terminated by reason of the failure to pay assessments promptly, as required by the rules of the association. The Superior court ruled for the association. but the Su- preme court reverses the finding, hold ing that it was open to the plaintiff to contest the validity of the assess ment.

Lorenzo Dow Mckinney, a prominent farmer of Scioto county, Ohio, recently inserted the following advertisement in the local papers: "Notice-The funeral sermon of the undersigned will be preached at Fallen Timber, Ohio, on Sunday, June 21, at 2:S0 p. m." Asked to give his reason for having his funer- al sermon preached before his death, he said: T am not having this done to be queer, or for notoriety. The Bible says that the days of man are threescore and ten years. I have always said that if lived to be eighty years old would consider myself dead, and a funeral would naturally follow. I will be eighty years old on June 17, and will then con- sider myself as dead, and will have my funeral sermon preached on the first Sunday following, which will be June 21. Any time may live after June r I shall not consider as mine. It will only be borrowed time"

There are several sides to the sil- yer question. The late Rev. Joel Jewell, of Troy, Pennsylvania, is said to have originated the word "teetotaler." The story goes that at a public temperance meeting in Hector, New York, in 1928, he introduc- ed into the pledge the letters 70. F." for 'old pledge which pledged against distilled liquors, and ''T.'' for "total,' including both distilled and fermented liquors When names were being talk en a young man in the gallery said: Add my name and IT, for am T. totaler." MT. Jewell adopted the words in speeches and writings. Some four years later an Englishman named Dick Turner employed the word, and it ori- gin has also been claimed for him.

fort and was applauded time and
again. He told of Clark's unparalleled
popularity in his own State and his
unanimous election. He spoke of
Clark the scholar, the jurist, the
patriot, the great champion of silver,
knightly son of the South.
North Carolina stuck to Clark to the
last. Virginia, Alabama, Washington
and other States voted for him, the
vote on one ballot reaching sixty. The
North was crying "sectionalism' and
secession"
Clark would have been the nominee
but for the fact that all, even the
strongest Southerners, agreed it was
wisdom to name a man from the North.
They nominated Sewall and silenced

shriekers.

New York papers have declared the
issue to be a sectional one, it was deem

President. The issue is thus dis-sec-

THE CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS.
SewaIl Nominated For Vice President
on the Fifth Ballot.

Chicago, Ills, July 1.-THE conven-
tion was very slow in assembling this
morning. Although 10 o'clock was the
hour fixed for assembling, at twenty
minutes after that hour there were
not more than one hundred delegates
in the pit and the galleries were not
half filed. AS the hands of the clock
Dointed at eleven o'clock Chairman
White called the convention to order.
There were only about 1000 people III
the Coliseum. More than half of
the gold delegates were absent.
Contrary to the usual custom, the
proceedings were not opened with
PRAYER. A few routine announcements
were made before the names of the
ce-Presidential candidates were pre-
sented.
Nominations for the ce-Presidency
were then called for, after motion
offered by Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
had been adopted limiting the nomi-
mating speeches to five minutes each.
Delegate J. o. Sullivan, the young
delegate from Massachusetts, who has
often attracted the eye of the conven-
ton by his outbreaks of enthusiasm,
walked to the platform to place in
nominate George Fred Williams, of
the same State. Although Mr.. O'Sulli-
van was not graceful orator, his SEN
tences were so well turned and ring
ing that they held the close attention
of the delegates. He referred to the
sullen delegates of New York sitting
silent in the hall and urged the con-
vention to prove that it had turned
down New York's leader-referring to
l.. b Il
East but because he was for gold. He
told how Williams had fought the cor
porations in Massachusetts and there
fore, II am antagonized," the speaker
said, "by Henry Whitney a Standard
Oil magnate and brother of the Whit
ney, who sat silent yonder," pointing
to the New York standard
Mr.. O'Sullivan exhorted the conven-
tion to choose man from the Allan
tic coast, the East and West might
join hands on the ticket and ended:
''We do not want man with barrel
to inaugurate this peaceful revolu-
ton"
Cries of ''water, water" were shout,
ed in chorus when Mr.. Marston, of
Louisiana, the planter, who has so
often appeared before the convention,
came to the front. Mr.. Marston was
not in his humorous mood and said,
Il assure you, gentlemen, that have
not the taste for water to-day" He
wanted to place in nomination John II.
Mclean, of Ohio, and he said that he
did so on his own authority. He as
sured the convention that although
his State delegation had repudiated
him (Marston) on the day before, he
represented the people of Louisiana,
and in conclusion he paid well-word
ed tribute to the Cincinnati editor.

Chicago, H., July 11.-(Special.)- y
Bryan's nomination has stirred a
cyclone of enthusiasm. His great
speech is on every lip and the thou
sands say it's phrases over the over
again. Everybody recognizes the fact
that North Carolina played the largest
part in the nomination of the silver
knight of the west. Bryan says:
"Next to Nebraska, North Carolina" !"
Mrs. Bryan has personally thanked
Mr.. Josephus Daniels and some other
members of the delegation.
One hears on every hand of Col.

balloting yesterday: ION account OF

vention and the platform adopted, am

ton.

What the Vatican Contains.

On the whole, the Vatican NAV be
divided into even portions. These are
the pontifical residence, the Sistine and
Pauline chapels, the picture galleries
the library, the museums of sculpture
and archaeology, the outbuildings, in
Guiding the barracks of the Swiss
guards, and, lastly, the gardens with the
pOpe's casino. Of these the Sistine
chapel, the galleries and museums and
the library are incomparably the most
important.
The name Sistine is derived from
Sixtus Nv. The library was founded by
Nicholas V, whose love of books was
almost equal to his passion for building.
The galleries are representative of
Raphael's work. which predominates to
such an extent that the paintings Of al
most all other artists are of secondary im-
portance. precisely as Michael Angelo
filled the Sistine chapel with himself. As
for the museums, the objects they ION.
tam have been accumulated by many
popes, but their existence ought perhaps
TO be chiefly attributed to Julius ii and

A Lesson in GOOD Politics."

ITO the Editor of The Herald:
AN article appeared in yesterdays
Paris Herald requesting that a SUBJ
scription be opened by The Herald in
Paris for funds to assist the political
campaign now going on in the United
States against the Silver party.
while agreeing in sentiment with
the gentleman who has so literally put
his name down for 800. I do not think
it would be good politics for Amer
cans residing abroad to give such pub
licity to their feelings. 1t would only
serve as a campaign document which
the Bryan element would avail them
selves of to show how a certain class
of Americans prefer to spend their
money abroad instead of at home.
Those who feel so disposed can eas
lily send their checks to the Republi-
can national committee. and their
money will be put where it will do the
most good. j. A. H.
