The republican national conven.

result is the nomination of Mckinley,
of Ohio, for president, on the first
ballot, he receiving 6Gl1 votes to 84l
for Reed, 614 for Quay, 5S for Nor

mated on the first ballot for vice
president. -.. z...
Before the vote for president was
taken, and upon the adoption of the
platform, silver delegates from sew
eral states, led by Teller, declared
that they could not support the
platform which contained the tinan.
cial plank that had been adopted,
and left the hall. They repaired to
the Colorado headquarters.
During the afternoon number of
modest white badges made their ap-
pcarancc at the Colorado hcadquar-
ters bearing the inscriptions: awe

1t is well understood among the
boiling delegates that, while only
oncdclcgate from Montana, Congress-
man Hartman, went out in the bolt,
the full delegation was in full SYM
pathy with the movement, including
Senators Carter and Mantle. They
had differences of opinion about the
necessity Of going bodily out Of the
haii, some OF them taking the posi-
tion it wonld be just as effective for
the delegates to remain in thcil
seats, silent, and without participate

The fact that Senator Pcttigrcw of
South Dakota, joined the silver re-
publicans in their bolt proved the
surprise Of the day. lie said, after
leaving the hall, that lie had formed
a determination to join the move

it became apparent that the gold
standard platform would be adopted.

Senator Nantes Speech.

St. Louis, jane lS~-- When Mon
tana was reached in the balloting for
the presidential nominee, Chairman
Strevell Of that state said; 'Onc
vote for Mckinley, one for j. D.
Cameron Of Pennsylvania, three
blank, one ABSENT and ] ask that
the roll Of the alternatcs be called to
supply the place Of our abscntccs."
The chairman-Tlc secretary will
call the first alternate at large. The
secretary. called the name Of Alter
nate 7. II. Dolman who voted blank.
The sccrctary-Who are the other
abscntces?
Chairman-Arc there any other
abSentceS? -, ,..
Mr.. Strcvcll-No, sir, only one
The secretary then announced the
| vote of Montana as follows: -Four
blank, one for J. Donald Cameron
and one for Mckinley.
1nasmucll rs only one Of the Mon
tana delegation had boltcd, the inn
preston prevailed that the delegates
from that state would abide by the
action Of the convention, but this
erroneous belief was soon dispcllcd.
Senator Lee Mantle addressing the
| chair, said: "Mr. Chairman, there
seems to be a general misapprchen-
sion as to my position and that
which those who remain with me
occupy in reference to this convcr-
tion. l desire to say that majority
Of the delegation from the state Of
Montana have not felt that under
all the circumstances surrounding
this convention that they should walk

to the wishes and opinions Of a vast
majority of the republicans of the
state Of Montana we cannot give our
approval or our endorsement to the
financial plank this day adopted.

gentlemen who are here in this con-
vcntion from my state represent the
sentiment OF the people who sent
them here, Under the pledges made
by the republican party in its last
national republican platform, we of
the west went out and said to our
people, 'thc republican party is the
friend OF silver, it has declared and it
is in favor Of gold and silver as the
standard money of the nation Up
OH that statement, although we had
the populist wave sweeping through
our western land, we were enabled to
keep the state of Montana within the
republican column. But, Mr.. Chair

WHY THEY STAYED IN.
Reasons Assigned by the Five Members
OF MOutana's Delegation.

Reasons Assigned by the Five Members
OF Montana's Delegation.
st. Louis. June lS.-Scnators Man
tic and Carter and Tom Marshall
have just been seen and their opinion
asked as to the situation among the
Montana delegates. They are en-
pllatic in their condemnation Of the
gold plank in the platform and they
freely assert that the Montana re-
publicans will never accept it. The
delegation was divided on the ques-
tion Of walking out. After full de-
liberation, it was decided that thc
proper course was to refuse to accept
or support the gold platform plank
and to reserve to the republicans OF
the state the accept or reject both
the platform and candidate.
Sanders got on the floor of the con-
! vcntion and is said to have had rum
Miller, the Helena altcrnatc's proxy,
which he expected to work into
somebody's seat. Goddard is also
said to been waiting to take Hart
mans place. Under the rules, wller
a delegate is absent, the name of the
first alternate on the list is called.
Dolman responded and took Hart
mans place and voted blank, with
Mantle, Carter and MARSHALL on the
nomination for president. This &C
ton shut out Sanders and Goddard.
Sanders was loaded for Il speech. He
is declaring that. Montana is for gold
and Mckinley. Mantle made a hard
fight to guttrecognition for his state
mcnt. The convention was in q
great uproar and had gone Wild over
the bolt Of Teller and the others.
! Hc persisted and finally he got rccog~
milton and spoke standing on his
chair in the middle OF the floor.

carncstness finally secured frt,n re
spcctful consideration. Henderson,,
Of Iowa, tried to cut him out on a
point OF order, but there were cries

against the platform and declared

The position Of all the delcgatcs Is

Montanans here except Judge Sire:

has been evident ever since the dele
CATION got here that Strcvcll was Il
Mckinley man. Immediately after
the Montana delegation had cast
their blank vote fer president all. .:of

Others in putting forward Henry NJ.

est and convictions Of his people de-
manded this course.
Lennon, Of California, advocated
the Teller amendment very. strongly.
He insisted that with themajolity
report as the declaration of the party
their plurality OF 1000 in his state
would not only be wiped out, but the
masses would become alieniated from
the party indefinitely.
Members OF the committee who
came out Of the rooms SAID they ney-
er witnessed such touching scenes in
politics. Some silver men shed tears
while speaking. Senator Cannon
wept, crying aloud as lie pleaded for
Utah. No funeral could be so sad.
They loved tire party that was about
to smite them and cast them out.
Dubois was the most vehement in his
uttcranccs as to the result. He
showed no emotion but was firmly
defiant. Teller was cool throughout
the debate,

difference Of opinion among this del

that in dccl;ni"g to support this

in honor bound not to participate in

Design for Book Cover !.

An ingenious cover to put upon the new
book while it is being read is made of linen,
decorated along the edges with silk, and
has narrow ribbon of the same color or as
the silk work. This cover folds about the
cover of the book, bringing the edges of the
flaps about midway the inside of the book
covers. The ribbons are then carried over
and tied in bow on the outside, bringing
the bows about in the center of each side of
the book. If designed as gift monogram
can be worked on one side in the lower
right-hand corner.

too much lace, but less will do. The lace
hangs perfectly straight except where it is

Shape into small, round balls and place
on board to rise so far apart they they
will not touch each other. When they are
risen press with the handle of small
wooden spoon or stick nearly through the
centre; put into the pans, rise again and
bake in hot oven 10 to - minutes. These
are much richer than ordinary biscuit or
bread.
GRAHAM BREAD.
Scald one pint of milk, add one and one
half teaspoonfuls of salt and one third cup
of molasses. When lukewarm add one
yeast cake dissolved in one quarter cup of
lukewarm water, two and three quarters
cups of white -four and three and one
quarter cups of graham -four. Stir until
thoroughly mixed. Let rise, knead ON
Toured board long enough to shape; make
into loaf, let rise again and bake in mod
crate oven. This makes two loaves.
ENI1hE WHEAT BREAD.
This bread is not kneaded and is easy to
make and healthful to eat. Scald one pint
of milk, add one and one half teaspoonfuls
of salt; when lukewarm add one half yeast
cake dissolved in one quarter cup of luke
warm water and four and one thirds cups
OF entire wheat -four. Beat well, then let
it rise, beat again, turn into pans and rise
again. Bake in a moderate oven.
Sticks are served at dinners and are made
with one cup of scalded milk, one quarter
salt, one third Of a yeast cake dissolved in a
little water and about four cups of -four
or enough to knead. Let rise in the usual
manner and form into sticks by making a
small ball of the dough. then rolling it out
long and evenly. Set apart in a pan, let
rise and bake like rolls. These are more
crusty than the ordinary roll. Many cooks
think it is harder to decide upon a break
fast than to get up dinner. The number
Of dishes suited to the morning meal is linn
tied and appetites vary. The left overs of
meat and some sort of griddle cakes are us
ually liked.
Waff1es need special iron and it is some
thing to learn to cook them properly. An old
well seasoned iron gives the leas trouble and
if new one is used much more liberal
greasing will be required. Heat the iron
and use butter or drippings tor greasing.
Use one pint of pastry -four one round
ing teaspoonful Of baking powder, one half
level teaspoonful of salt and sift together.
Take also one cup of milk, two eggs yolks
and whites beaten separately. the yolks un-
til they are thick and lemon colored and the
whites until they are so dry as to fly from
the beater. 10 not beat them until so dry
as to turn into little balls. Add milk and
egg yolks and mix the dry and liquid in
gradients together and fold in the whites
last and tablespoonful of melted butter.
The batter may need teaspoonful more of
milk to be just the right consistency. Put
the batter in iron and when one side is
cooked turn the iron and finish. Serve
waff1es hot with maple syrup or b tier and
sugar.

The return of New Years Day

isode of the siege of Paris, which

Let the reader be assured. Ishall

nor to the outposts, but only to the
Rue Trevise and the house of my
old friend Dutailly, a rich manu-
facturer of chemicals, the husband
of an excellent wife, the father of q
charming daughter, a skillful man
ufacturer, a good patriot, little
foolish respecting politics, but after
all the best fellow in the world.
Surprised by the investment of
Paris when he had packed his
trunks to leave, he was consoled by
not Rold out RaeEne week. fBBtH BteHttssfp tspatde ad-
vised, Madame Dutailly began at
first by provisioning the house, in
which she amassed such an abund-
ance of food that had the siege lasted
three months longer the Dutaillys
would never have starved. Then
she finished her work by putting in
her small garden COW, a poultry
house, even a pigsty, that three
months later was worth its weight
in gold.
In the month of October we
blessed her. | first, for whom a

at this hospitable mansion. An
other person had his plate by the
side of mine, young Anatole Bri-

son-in-law of Dutailly. This quiet,
serious and somewhat diffident
young man was very much in love
with the daughter of his patron,
and Mile. Gertrude was not insen-
sible to his affection. Without
having exchanged a word, the at
tentions of Brichant were received
with favor by the Dutaillys, and the
union of the two Young people
was tacitly agreed upon; bat Rnfor-
tunately the war postponed the
event. Brichant, corporal in the
corps, moved to the Seine and bar
racks of st. Denis, did his duty as
soldier conscieutiously, as he did
everything else, but without enthu-
siasm; it must be confessed, he ex-
ecrated this siege, which postponed
his happiness, and mildly criticised
the operations with q little bitter
feeling. These criticisms did not
fail to irritate Dutailly, who was q
follower Of Gen. Trochu. There
was something else; the Temps Just

articles whose author reconstructed
the military operations of the prov
ince according to his own fancy.
Dutailly had taken these faucies as
matters of fact. He placed mis- lit
tie flags on the chart, at the points
