ing the improvement of Texas harbors
and waterways was read and carried.
The convention got into snarl over an
other amendment limiting the salary of
any state state or county official to $1,000
per year. The platform favors q salary
instead of the present fee system, but
does not specify the maximum sum to be
paid.
Not including recess for dinner and
supper, the convention was in session
fifteen hours today. After a long fight
over the platform and the adoption of
a portion of it the convention got down
to nomina tions. Jerome Kerby was
unanimously nominated for governor and
c. H. Pasby was nominated for lieuten-
ant governor by acclamation
Among the amendments to the plat
form that were adopted was one making
the maximum salary to be paid to state
or county officials $1,000 and abolishing
the fee system. There was a strong eff
fort made to amend the plank in the
platform referring to natioral politics so
as to declare that the convention indors-
ed the action of the Texas delegates 10
the populist convention at st. Louis, and
announcing that Texas would not stand
by Bryan unless the democrats accepted
Watson as Bryan's running mate. The
amendment was sent to the platform
committee and will be heard tomorrow.
A motion was unanimously adopted to
copyright the platform when it Is COM
pleted.
kilograms of congra tulations were ex-
changed with the populist conventions
in session in Kansas and Nebraska. The
convention is expected to adjourn tomor-
row evening.

D1MPLEs MADE WHILE you WAIT
These Beauty Marks May Be Artificially
Acquired.

Philadelphia Times.
Any woman who has been overlooked
by nature in the distribution of dimples
can have the deficiency supplied by ma
chinery.
OF course the machinery must be in the
hands of a skilled manipulation, or the re-
suit would be an unsightly scar, or pos
sibly an open sore or complications of
blood poisoning.
The new apparatus, the advent of
which has been hailed with joy in the
world feminine, consists of a specially
designed knife, with dainty but very
sharp blade, a tiny, keen edged scoop
and a very fine needle. With these in
struments a pretty, life-like dimple can
be produced as effective as the genuine
point of an ''angePs kiss"
A small, straight incision Is made in
the cheek or chin of the ambitious pa
tent, representing the diameter of the
proposed Improvement. With the little
scoop small portion OF the fat underly-
ing the skin is removed; the delicate nee
die sews the edges of the cut together
and the operation is completed. In two
or three days the stitches are removed
and within the week the wound Is entire-
ly healed, leaving the slight depression
in the surface Of the skin which poets
call a dimple.
The operation Is a simple matter of ia
cial surgery, but 1t requires delicacy and
skill to prevent q scar. If 1t be we'll done,
1t Is only necessary to assist the process
of nature by proper dressing and protec
ton, and the wound heals over SO as to
entirely obliterate the track of the knife.
Not often does a woman in possession
of natural dimple desire to have 1t re-
moved, but occasionally a man who con-
siders the mark a badge of effeminacy
wishes to get rid of it. This Is just as
stead of removing a bit of fat from be-
meath the surface, a small portion of the
skin itself Is cut away The edges Of the
dimple are drawn together with stitches,
the incision heals, and the depression dis
appears.
The artificial dimple, however, has its
drawbacks. 1t is too permanent. No
matter whether the owner be plunged
into the depths of grief, whether her face
be darkened by anger or distorted by
jealousy, the dimple smiles on. The nov
city soon wears off, but the dimple does
not, and becomes a. mockery and delu-
sion.
Nothing we produce artificially In the
dlmple line has the charm of the real ar
ticle,'' said well-known uptown der
matologl 1.-THE duty of a dimple Is
to punct11te smile 1T must come and
go to meet the requirements of facial ex-
preston. A perpetual smile would be an
ly at funerals, and I look at an artificial
dimple in the same light. We generally
advise against the operation, although 1t
is perfectly harmless, but any one who
wants a dimple can have 1t with little
annOyance."

Victors Two Years Ago Meet Defeat at I'll
Hands of the Onnnsitinn

Hands of the Opposition.
Nashville, Aug. Cone of the hottest
fights ever made for political offices in
Davidson county eliminated in the cleo
tion today. Democrats and members OF
the American Protective assocatio
waged relentless war for weeks. Much
bitterness was engendered and the re-
cent killing of Tim M. Hanifn, editor
of a labor paper, by Deputy Sheriff Alex
Barthell, member of the American Pro-
tective association, played conspicuous
part in today's results.
Tonight excited m0bs surrounded the
newspaper bulletins, Justify cheering the
returns favorable to their candidates 1t
now seems to be a complete victory for
the democratic Ticket, which was inglo-
riously showed under two years ago by
the American Protective association.
However, the vote is much lighter
than expected In the state elections in
dicatons point to a safe majority for the
democratic candidates for the chancery
court of appeals.
In county elections honors are easy,
many independent tickets meeting with
success owing to the effect of fusion be-
tween the populists and republicans.
Rutherford county, once strongly demo-
cratic, has given the fusion ticket small
majority, though Major Richardson,
democratic candidate for congress, was
Endorsed for reelection by nearly two
thirds of the county's vote.
In the Ninth district returns INDICATE
that Richard Pierce has defeated Nc
Dearmon, the present congressman, by
small majority for the democratic nomi-
nation.
In the Eighth district 1t now appears
that Hon. b. A. Enloe will be the demo-
cratic nominee for congress-

ON A CROSS OF GOLD.

Emblazoned on our banners high,
Behold the legend grand,
Attracting by its honesty,
The millions of our land
To once again proclaim the truth,
In accents loud and bold;
Mankind cannot be crucified
Upon a cross OF gold.'
This legend is our battle cry,
Twill guide us night and day;
Twill lead our hosts to victory,
Our foemen to dismay.
But friends from every rank of life,
We welcome to that fold:
"Where man cannot be crucified
Upon a cross of gold.'
What though the power of wealth ordains
The people to deride;
Enough true manhood yet remains
To sweep that power aside.
And in its place again proclaim,
That truth so nobly told;
Mankind cannot be crucihed
Upon a cross of gold"
Nights sable mantle disappears,
The morning beams are bright;
The cherished hopes of waiting years.
Triumphant, loom in sight.
Then nail our legend TO the mast,
Let every eye behold;
"You cannot cruelty mankind
Upon cross of gold"
All hail the advancing hosts of right
All hail the hero grand 3
Who bears our legend through the fight,
Which shall redeem our land.
When class, and caste. shall cease to be,
But live for higher aims In life
Than worshippers OF gold.

go in for the little picturesque points of
riding are desnairing in the thought that
they must learn all over again. There
is no question that there is a trick in the
sail riding and that it must be learned
by practice and experience You must
go back to the belt and strap stage.
At a bicycle parade to be held along
towards September the sails are to be
in the colors of the club. These colors
are a white field, with a red crescent,
surrounded by blue stars. This pattern,
reproduced in sections each a yard
square, will be made up and placed upon
each wheel. From the top of the sail
spar will float the clubs motto: Turn,
Turn Thy Wheel" printed In gold upon
blue ground. And in this gay uniform
the bicycles will start out, managed by
members, also in uniform.
The speed with a sail is very great I'M
der some conditions. If you can get a
fair wind, easy and steady, blowing in
one direction, without fitful blasts and
not too strong, you can get a great pace.
A wheelman who can do a mile in three
minutes would have no trouble in reduc-
ing his record one half with the sail.
And this without that awful training
and mad struggle at the bicycle record
races.
Many girls start out along the roads
with their little bamboo poles standing
up from the handle bars and the little
sail carefully tied up. Once on a good
road, with a fair breeze, they unite the
sails and start madly along. Others,
more sportsmanlike lower the sail, run
1t up, furl and unfurl it in good sea-
mans style, using one hand only, while
the other does the steering.
Those who go in for every new thing
in the bicycle line are planning side sails
tie fore and aft sails are all You see as
yet

FREE FOR ALL PACE.
Robert J. Lowers the Pacing Record at
Columbus. O.. Yesterday.

Columbus, u, yesterday.
Columbus, o., Aug. 6.-The free for all
pace, for which Robert j., Frank Agan
and Rubenstein were entered, drew an
immense crowd to the Columbus Driv-
ing park this afternoon. The weather
and track were such as to lead to the
expectation that some record breaking
would be seen. On the whole the result
was all that could be wished, though the
fine exhibition Of racing was general,
with no particular bursts of speed. In
all eleven heats were paced and the
average speed for them all was 2:07 21-44.
Never before were eleven heats paced
and trotted successfully In such fast
time.
The worlds racing record was broken
in another feature during the afternoon.
Robert j. paced the fourth and deciding
heat of the free for all pace in 2:02%,
which is the fastest fourth heat ever
paced The quarters of this heat were
made as follows: 030h 1:01R, 1:31 and
2:02%
The last half Of the third heat of this
race was paced by Robert j. in 1:30-or
in 2:01 gait.
In the first heat of the PIG race Bufort
caught his feet in his hobbies as he was
going for the stalt and fell backwards.
The sulky was smashed and his driver
(Hanson) narrowly escaped. The race
was held while the horse was sent to the
stable for examination and new sulky.
Horse and driver returned and entered
the heat, coming in a close second, which
is considered remarkable in view of the
bad fall.
The four heats Of the free for all pace
We're the fastest average four consecu-
tive heats ever paced. The time
was 2:03%, 2041a, 2:041s and 2:02%. The
time made by Robert J. In the last heat
of the free for all pace is within a quar-
ter of a second of his fastest race record.

Sad Story of Simian Love and Its Tragic
Ending.

Ending.
New York Journal
Until last week Frankie had been kept
in a cage at Glen island with a number
of monkeys, including female, to whom
he was devoted. According to the stand
ard of her people, she possessed great
personal charms. Certainly she held I'M
disputed sway over Franko's heart.
His best tricks were done for her.
When crowd of people gathered round
his cage and watched his diverting an
tics they thought his sole object was to
omuse them. They were mistaken, for
franko was trying to entertain the fair
one. The two shared every meal to-
gether. 1t was a pretty and touching
sight to see Frankie and his mate MUNICH
ing the same apple. He would put his
left arm affectionately around her neck
and hold the apple to her mouth She
would bite at it, and If she ate nearly
all not word of complaint came from
Franko's lips. Whatever was left he
would accept thankfully. They shared
all their meals, joys and sorrows.
But day came when this romance
was ruthlessly destroyed by the hand
OF man. Ignorant of the bonds which
tied these two fond simian hearts to-
gether, the keeper put Frankie into a cage
away from his beloved. At once he show

er did he swing by the tail and make
faces at the visitors. He would even let
girl with a yellow feather in her hat
pass by without attempting to pull it
out. He sat in a corner and wept, and
would not be consoled.
For day this state of affairs lasted.
1t was long enough for the keeper to
guess the cause of the trouble.
He is pining for his mate" said the
man, and it was decided that Frankie
should be put back into his old cage on
the following day.
But this humane design was reached
too late. In the morning they went to
Franko's cage and there they found him
dead and cold. He had hanged himself
with small rope from one of the bars
of the cage. Unable to endure life apart
from his former companion, he had sud-
denly and violently left it.
No one at Glen island doubts that
Frankie committed suicide because of his
enforced separation from his mate.
