feat Fusion of Any Kind.
The National Reform Press association
is backing the middle-of -theroad delegates
with all the power 1t possesses. Altogether
the "middle-of-thc-road" people are max
ing q deafening noise, which Senator
Allen says creates an impression of num-
bers and strength. "a few frogs In a
pond" said he, "can make the night vocal
with their believing" Despite the wild
claims Of the shouters it was apparent
yesterday that some of their leaders were
weakening. They were talking in more
temperate strain and were suggesting
compromises as the best road out of the
tangae. Cyclone" Davis, for instance,
prepared resolution which he said he
would offer, declaring that in order to de-
feat Mckinley and the gold standard the
Populists should agree upon common
electors
Riffs in the lutes of several of the south

all at sea as to a candidate. Paul Wander
wort, Of Nebraska, and Eugene V. Debs
are about the only names canvassed since
Representative Towne, of Minnesota, ar.
rived and announced himself for Bryan
Although the Bryan managers seem con
fldent of success they are by no means out
of the woods. The compromise PROPOSE
tons pressed upon them are the principal
source of their anxiety. Senator Marion
Butler, Of North Carolina, Is essayng the
roll of compromiser. All his energies are
bent in that direction.
He believes that both factions could be

Populist for vice president. He claims
that ut meeting of representatives of all
the southern states yesterday there was
unanimous agreement upon this compro-
mise and that It will have behind IL 4SS
votes from the south. Butler argued that
this was the only way of uniting the sill
YER forces, so far as the south was con-
cerned; because IL was the only way of
maintaining tho autonomy of the Populist
party In that section.
Tho Bryan mon assert that this is utter

Guests Must Come Prepared to Look
and Act Like Dolls.
IT MOTHER with a household of young
people lately gave a unique party
~ which was most successful affair. al,
little Chinese and japanese dolls
Of the kind sold on the street at two for 3
cents. which are already dressed in gay
Oriental garments Of paper. In the sash a
tiny envelope was thrust addressed to the
person to whom the doll was sent, and con-
tanning an invitation to a doll party, the
receiver being required to come in a cos
tune personating doll of some sort.
One Of the most amusing features of the
evening was n row OF paper dolls dressed
in white and leaning against the wall, with
hands joined.
To do this well one must contrive to
drive away every bit Of expression from
the face. and by the aid of powder to as
sumo a CHASTITY complexion.
An ingenious costume of gray underwear,
drawn over the shoes and stockings and
sleeves. with short skirt and waist of
gray silesia, made a very good rubber
doll. but the belle of the evening was a
turba ned black Dinah.
or course, in most cases masks are worn,
but these can be dispensed with early in the
evening. A prize is given to the one who
can guess the identity Of the greatest
number. There is a field here for any
amount Of ingenuity.
1t wouldn't be half bad idea to give
such party among young bellies and beaux.
There would be many jolly opportunities
in it. The makeup of the face, the stiff
position of the arms, ETC.. would give the
brightest OF chances for fun-making.

The pin was somewhat bent,
And the little boy intent
Upon mischief, slyiy placed it on the chair
Where the teacher in her might,
Sat 10 hear the boys recite
The lessons that they studied with such
care.
As the teacher tapped her rule,
For order in the school,
In a manner that was very debonair,
A grin of fiendisi Joy,
On the face of every Toy
Caused her to cast ;lout an angry stare.
When order was restored
And the teachers thoughts had scared
Far above this word of tell and drudging
care,
On that chair she took seat,
In a manner rather fleet,
And Immediately leared into the air.
