Undoubtedly California offers more genuine
attractions to the misunderstanding public
than any other part of the American CONT
nent. The fame of its climate is worldwide,
and il ls sought even by Europeans. who
lind it more charming than their own south
ern slopes. To Americans its worth is too
well known to necessitate II description of
the many advantages to be enjoyed.
Personally-conducted tours via Pennsyl-
vania Railroad will leave New York and Phil
adelphia, Eel runry II and March H. 1896. In
addition to the many other points of interest
visited on the first tour a stop will be made at
New Orleans for the Mardi- Gras festivities, and
four weeks will be allowed in California. On
the second tour four and one-half weeks will
be allowed in California.
An addition to the magnificent train here
tofore used for these tours is through Pull
man compartment car.
The ear, which will be the very best that
the Pullman Company can supply, will con-
tain nine incOsed compartments two drawing
rooms and seven state rooms and will be at
tached to the special train at Jersey City and
run through to San Diego, Cal, on the first
tour, and San Francisco on the second.
This will be the first car OF its kind to be-
run on II trans-continental train. and that it

Small nostrils are said by psychologists
to indicate small and weak lungs.
In all ages the nose has been regarded
as strongly indicative of character.
y nose OF proper proportions should be
one-third the length of the face.
The sense OF smell is probably more

In man, the sense Of smell is less de
veloped than that of sight as it is much
less needed

in fact, out proportion with the rest of
his face.

of unintelligence and stupidity. Idiots

London Times, viers.

LONDON, July 9.-The Times this
morning comments editorially upon the
Chicago convention as follows:
1T is always we'll 10 know the worst
and England certainly must feel f-rati-
fed for the extreme frarkness OF the
majority in control of the convention.
We take note Of the fact that che OF
the historic American parties Is fairly
captured by men who glory in dishoa-
est acts and avow their desire to rer,,-
date national and private debts
Proceeding then 10 deal with the
question Of the weakness of the :yoli
standard faction Of the Democrats and
the strength OF the silveri:es. The
Times continues: From the European
point Of view. the whole sitdation is
deplorable. With the faniamen-al
principles Of sound and fair dealings
taus powerfully assaile3, it is difficult
to look forward with conni ace to anv
speedy revival of American credit in
the old world"

CHICAGO, July S.-The platform Of
the Democratic convention which was
telegraphed from Chicago last night
exclusively by the Associated Press,
and which will be reported. with a few
amendments by the committee on reso-
lutions. has no such cloud Of. rival
claimants to its authorship and inspi-
ration as surrounded the making Of
the platform at St. Louis, which was
really the main issue OF the Republican
convention.
One man may be, to all practical
purposes. credited with the authorship
of the Democratic platform. This hon
or belongs to Colonel Charles H Jones,
publisher Of the s.. Louis Post-DiS-
patch Colonel Jones wrote the first
draft of the declaration Of principles
after consultation with Senators Cock
rel and Vest and other leaders. and
his draft was adopted by the commit
tee on resolutions after three minor
pianks had been added and with some
changes made in the wording
The plank against the Pacific rail-
road funding bill was first suggested
by the state Democratic convention OF
California which instructed the state
delegates to propose such a, plank to
the convention. Ex-COngressman Ca
neuitti and Congressman Mcguire, OF
California. maze a canvass of the COM
mittee on resolutions on behalf of the
position, and Senator White, who was
a member Of the committee, succeeded
in prevailing upon il TO pledge the
party TO the policy of opposition to
the funding plan. Senator Vest, Of
Missouri drew up the plank on PEN
sions. The expression of sympathy
with the Cuban revolu.ionists in the
platform was first brought forward in
the form Of a plank written by MIR.
James Creelman. the newspaper cor
respondent. but Congressman Sulzer,
of New York modified the statement
to meet the views of the leaders.

because il is right and wrongs no

State Senator Grady of New York,
a picturesque red-faced gentleman with
red mustache and wearing a rather
short jacket, punctuated a

with violent gestures, which did not
avail to secure him close attention.
Senator Grady was just beginning to
be listened to when the thread of his
argument was harshiy interrupted by
the first fight of the convention It
started over in the front of the press
seats to the left of the platform, where
a stalwart policeman, through mistaken
bounced upon delegate from
Illinois who was attempting TO enter
the section allotted to the delegates.
People climbed to their chairs every
where, and a small riot seemed on
hand until the chairman pressed the
button which signalled the band to
play. Senator Grady ceolly paced the
platform, with his hands in his trous-
ers pockets, while the band played on,
and when he could make himself
heard, remarked he never had been
able to speak in a convention without
starting fight. His exit set the cry

argument against the regularity of

declared that the purpose of the silver
men of the convention was to secure
