An Economical Entertainer.

A certain thrifty Philadelphia house
wife used to boast that she was able to
make one jar Of brandy peaches serve
for several tea parties. The secret of it
was that she canned the peaches when
they were green and only partially cook
ed them. In consequence they were al
ways hard, so that when an unwary
guest attempted to cut one with spoon
it generally flew off on to the floor.
After the company had departed they
were gathered up, washed and returned
to the brandy sirup, where they remained
until required for the next party, New

change OF Views.
CHICAGO, July 1.-The conference
meeting of the national Democratic BIZ
metallic committee, was called to order
at the Sherman House few minutes
before noon by Senator Harris of Ten
nessee, who is chairman of the organi,
zation. There was present a quorum
of members of the committee, and a
large number of distinguished silver
Democrats including Turpie of Indiana,
Daniel of Virginia, and Cockrell of
Missouri, ex-Congressman Bryan of
Nebraska, Snodgrass Of Tennessee, be-
sides others.
The meeting was devoted largely to
introduction and the exchange of views
as to the lookout for the approaching
convention. The opinion was gener-
ally expressed that there would be no
question as to the absolute control of
the convention by the silver forces, to
which was generally added a determi-
nation to see that nothing happened to
in any way weaken the control. There
was more or less individual discussion
of Mr.. Whitney's attitude among the
delegates. 1t was noted that there was
no expression on the part of any one
favorable to yielding anything to the
gold standard element.

Gold Men Not to BE Considered i'm Max
ing Nominations.
CHICAGO, July If the prognosti-
cations of w. HI. Hinrichsen, delegate
at-large and chairman Of the Illinois
state central committee, are correct, tho
gold standard delegates to the national
Democratic convention, will be given
no quarter.
"The silver men are going to run the
convention" said Mr.. Hinrichsen.
"They will control both the temporary
and permanent organizations, and will
nominate free silver ticket from
top to bottom, and adopt free
silver, 16 to /, platform. The
wishes of the gold men will
not be considered. The states they
represent will not vote the ticket, and
so they will be ignored. Last year,
when the Democrats of Illinois held a
convention and declared for free silver,
I wrote to Mr.. Whitney and other gold
men, asking for conference between
the gold and silver men of the party.
The replies were short and curt They
could not think of consulting with SO
insignificant crowd as the free silver
wing represented. Things have changed
now. We have two-thirds Of the dele
gates. We will not confer with the
gold men because we have nothing to
confer about. The great Democratic
party wants a free silver ticket and
platform, and we will give it to them. ="

They were also displeased with the
postponement of the matter until so
late day as next Monday. In the alb.
sence of any definite assurance from
Mr.. Harrity they are inclined to the
opinion that there is disposition, if
not determination, on the part Of the
national committee to select an anti
silver man for chairman and to postpone
the announcement of the selection until
the very eve of the convention.

Curious State of Affairs.
A poll of the state delegates made by
the New York Herald correspondents
shows a surprising condition of affairs
week before the convention meets. Few
Of the state delegations have been in
structed to vote for any candidate. In
the states where no instructions have
been given individual delegates hesi-
tated to express a choice, and when
they did it was nearly always with the
reservation that the situation when
they reached Chicago might cause them
to change their views
The silver men, with their over
whelming majority on the currency
plank, have no settled views on candi-
date. Gold standard advocates are too
busy making fight to prevent dis
ruption of the party to think of nomi-
nee.
Many of the New England delegates
expressed preference for Ex-Governor
Russell of Massachusetts,, but he, in his
desire to prevent party disruption, has
declared that he would go to Chicago as
worker in the ranks and would not
permit his name to go before the con-
vention.

Colorado Mans Name Will Not BE Pre-

CHICAGO, July 1.-Delegates to the
convention who have arrived generally
appear averse to discussing the proba-
bility that Senator Teller will cut any
figure in the Democratic convention
The senator has number Of personal
friends among the silver delegates who
have already arrived, and among them
are some who would not be averse to his
nomination for president. They feel,
however, that the conditions are not
yet ripe for the springing of his name,
and say that it would be opposed to the
interests of both Senator Teller and the
silver cause to bring him to the front It
this time, if at ALL There are also a
number of Senator Teller's silver Re-
publican and Populist friends in the
city who are devoting themselves
more to
Watching the Course of Events
than to any active work. The Popu-
lists who are here say openly that Mr..
Teller is the only man the Democrats
can name that they will endorse. The
silver Republicans are not so pro-
nounced. They put the matter less
pointedly by saying that Teller is the
only man whose nomination would in
sure the Western states to the Demo-
cratic ticket.
1t is not the purpose of the senator's
friends to have him placed in nomina.
ton as others will be. This course they
consider would be in bad form and con-
trary to Mr.. Tellers wishes. Their
plan is not to make an aggressive cam
paign, but simply to be on the ground

Was Noted Woman.
One of the greatest women America
ever produced has finished her life work,
and the intellect that wrought out the
glowing lines of ''Uncle Toms Cabin" has
passed under the cloud. Harriet Beecher
Stowe was member of the famous
Beecher family, which stands In many re-
spects without a rival in history. There
were thirteen of DIR. Lyman Beecher's 8
children, of whom eleven lived to good
age and at least six attained to consider
able eminence, while one son is known
wherever our language is read, and q
daughter has produced a work that is read
in every printed language, and is probably
familiar to more people than any one work
except the Bible.
No other woman has produced any writ
ing which was thought worthy of transla-
ton into more than four or five tongues,
and among men it is very rare to find an
author in general use even among the civ
ilized nations, but "Uncle Toms Cabin"
appeared successively in English, French
(three versions), German fourteen YER
sions), Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Portu-
guese, Spanish, Italian, Welsh, Russian,
Polish, Hungarian, Wendish, Wallachian,
Rolnaic, Arabic, Siamese and Armenian,
and later into Japanese and Turkish.
