NOT VERY SOLID.

The Bryan managers are said to be relying on a solid South, but unless the signs fail they are going to be disap- pointed. The Texas Populists didn't like the treatment they received at St. Louis, and it appears that a combina- tion has been effected between the Pop ulists, the Republicans and the sound money Democrats of Texas, which promises to be a success. The plan is for the Republicans to support the Pop- ulists' State ticket and the Populists are to support Republican electors, while the sound money Democrats are to be given the combined support of both the other parties for congress- men. The State Democratic machine managers are said to be badly scared over this new turn, and they have good reason to be. The vote of the Republi cans and the Populists at the last cleo ton aggregated 219.652, while Culberson for governor had only 241,Ss2. There are probably at least 5o,ooo sound mon ey Democrats in Texas.
 In North Carolina ard Kentucky the outlook for Bryan is not good. With out solid South and a solid West there will not be much more solid ity to the Bryan boom than there was to his speech in Madison Square Gar den

coins call for three hundred thousand volunteers. At the station fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers and sweet hearts were gathered to bid their loved ones farewell with the sad thought that they might never again look into their faces Patriotism overcame every oth- CT feeling, however, and those who were left behind were proud to know that the sons of Groton still had the spirit that imbued the heroes of Sep tember 6, 17S1, and when the train moved away they sent 0 hearty cheer after it.
 The company stopped at New London and gave a short parade. the people of this city giving them hearty send off. The journey to Norwich was then re- stunned, stop being made at Montville. where George T. Meech and Thomas l.. Bailey, of Gales Ferry, joined the com pany Norwich was reached at D. m, and the company, after marching to the residence of Governor Buckingham and giving him a round of cheers, re turned to the Wauregan House, where, while waiting for supper, the time was spent in singing John Browns Body"
 After supper the company was quar- tered in a stable near where the Broad way theater now stands, and ended the first day of their actual service by sleeping in the straw that was provided for bedding. The company afterwards went to the front and rendered good account of itself on more than one bat tlefield.
 There were one hundred and one men in the company, ninety-eight of whom came from the town of Groton, and, strangely enough, after passing through battles and returning to the arts of peace at the close of the war, there are still at the end of thirty-four years since they started for the front. ffty-t three of the members of the com pany living.-New London Day.

down over the top of high cloth or stock collar makes a pretty compro- mise, and may be worn with a bodice more elaborate. These little collars give a touch of laundried crispness, are less formal, and, be it confessed, less uncomfortable than the high stiff col lar.
 The shirt waist pictured here was daintily elaborated about the shoul- ders. It was of white batiste dotted with dark blue and was arranged in a wide pleat in front that held the studs, with three tucks on either side. A yoke that was initiated by dark blue embroidery sewed on to form point on either side and was alike back and front The cuffs of the bishop sleeves were trimmed to match, and the white leather belt was spangled with silver. With this waist was worn a skirt of dark gray lustre whose edge was trimmed with a side pleated ruffle of the goods.
 To attach to shirt waists, single linen cuffs provided with little tag on the inside near the top which catch the cuff button of the waist cuff, are very pret- ty and convenient Be sure that the over cuff is at least a half inch longer on the hand than is the under cuff; the latter should never protrude.

FINE p1aEsrIoN OF OWLS.

y
 A Southern California baby burrow- ing owl, five weeks old eats half it's weight of raw beef at a single meal, and does not suffer in the slightest de- gree from dyspepsia. It takes three square meals of this size daily, and even then appears to be hungry at bed- time. An observing physician believes that valuable digestive aids for the hu- man stomach can be extracted from these owls of large appetite, which will be more eflicacious possibly than are the pepsin preparations now secured from the internals of pigs. Should this belief be confirmed the market for Cali fornia owls ought to be considerable, and the demand for the birds might warrant the establishment of owl ranches.-San Francisco Chronicle

 It was one o'clock in the afternoon when the order to fall in was given and the soldier boys marched through the principal streets of the village to the music of the Mystic band under the leadership of Dr. Mercer, which the Groton war committee had hired for the occasion. The whole population turned out and cheered the boys as with proud step and erect figures they kept time to the music.

Some time ago Abner Millikan, of Stoughton, Michigan, pasted large lith- ograph portraits of Mckinley and Ho- bart on the side of his barn. There was heavy thunder storm the other night, and the next morning, they say, the Autographs had been completely torn from the barn, and in their place was perfect reproduction of the DOT traits, even to the smallest details, on the side of the barn. In the same town the lightning struck a building owned by Charles McCane, and burned the letters M and H on it's side.

People in this wise country can, it appears, learn something even from the Russians The Russians have an eff fectual way of handling runaway horses. No horses are driven in that country without a running moose about the animals neck, the other end being within reach of the driver. When the animal tries to bolt a good pull upon the cord shuts off his wind and that stops runaway every time.

The Damacratic Farce.

The Democratic National conven-
ton OF 1896 has completed its labors
and the sorry spectacle is presented
of a platform repudiated by the
Democratic press aud candidates
disowned by party leaders. That
the action of the convention would
be extreme wassconceded, but that it
would border on anarchy, socialism
and lunacy was too much for even
the most far seeing to comprehend.
Behold then, the sights OF the Colise-
um! Free and unlimited coinage of
silver, free trade and state rights,
Altgeld and Tlllman as the party pace
makers, Hill slapped in the face,
Cleveland denounced, and as the
browning glory Of all, the Populistic
boy orator Of the Platte, William j.
BRYAN, as the standard bearer of the
campaign, and an unknown quantity
from Maine, Arthur Sewall, as his
running mate. In the history of
American politics when has this rec
ord been equaled?
The convention opened with the
free silver forces from the South and
West in comple-e control and they
proceeded to carry out their program
with a hurrah, regardless of the rights
Of the minority. Contrary to all
precedent they refused to endorse the
temporary chairman selected by The
National committee. They unseate ed
gold delegations from Ohio and Mich
igan to obtain the requisite two
thirds majority for a nomination
and they refused to indorse the admin
istration of Grover Cleveland. The
gold men bitterly contested every
step ~ to the adoption of the plat
form, when they ceased to partici-
pate further in the deliberations (if
such they may be called) of the con-
vention, many of the delegations
leaving for home before adjournment.
Old line Democrats are bitter in de-
nunciation of the methods of the ma
jority, and while maintaining a dis
Greet silence concerning what action
the gold men of the party as a whole
will take, do not hesitate to say they
will not support the ticket. A bolt
is probable and the next thirty days
will undoubtedly see another conven-
ton called.

The Weltbuerger Bolts.

The Weltbuerger In it's last issue
comes out with a strong and unmis-
taxable protest against the work of
the Chicago convention. This paper
is among the leading German journals
of the state and it has ever been I'M
compromisingly Democratic in it's
convictions. The signs arenoW, how
eyer, that it will bolt. It's position
at the present time is peculiarly sig
nifcant and creates much attention
from the fact that its junior publish
er, NJ. f. Blumenfeld, holds the posi-
ton of internal revenue collector for
the Western Wisconsin district.
Amongsother things The Weltbuerger
says:
"That The Weltbuerger can not
stand On the 16 to l platform should
not astonish any of it's readers.
After advocating the burning pol1ti-
cal questions week after week in the
manner it has, it simply would prove
inconsistent and could not hereafter
risk coming before its readers with
either opinion or policy if it now
would join the filled with-hate- Of
Cleveland, revolutionary, half-un-
balanced Governor Altgeld, of Illinois,
and his cohorts. We sincerely be-
ieve it the true duty of every mem
Der of a political party to stand and
abide by the acts, decisions and prin-
ciples declared in convention as long
as the fundamental principles of the
party are not disturbed, and The

WeItbuerger has always strictly fol
lowed this rule. But the platform
adopted at Chicago is greenback,
free-silver, soclalistic, demagogic,
populistic, anarchistic, free-trade and
protective measure-all this, but not
Democratic-andf for that reason not
binding to any Democrat. So far no
Democratic organ of any note has
come to our notice which does not
Justly denounce the platform as de-
structive, pernicious and ruinous."
