final address of the campaign on the Sat.

Mr.. AND MRS. sTANDIsH.
The North Arson EIopement Develops In
to a Romance of Another Kind.

Lin Standish, the Portland man whom
Miss Cora Donnelly of elopement fame
is introducing to her friends in North
nson as her husband, is Miles Standish,
printer we'll known In this city.
Stand ish is widower, bis wife having
died several months ago. Miss Donnelly
boarded with Mrs. Lou Standish, mother
of Miles while she was attending Gray S
business college, and 1t was there her
present husband met her and fell in love
with her.
According to a story sent out from
North Arson to the Lewiston journal,
she confessed to him her en-
tanglement with Collins and he evidently
sympathized in large hearted way
difficult to understand. The girl says
that she did not go to Boston in Ben
Collins's company, but arranged to meet
him here. She did not go further than
Massachusetts where she says she has a
grandmother in Marblehead. When she
got away and realized what she had done
she became repentant.
When Miss Donnelly two weeks ago
took the train from Portland to join
Collins as che says. Standish accompanied
her to the station and the girl told him
what she intended to do. She promised to
write if she fell into distress or broke
with Collins
Previously Standish had helped her in
her meetings with Collins when the latter
| had coma To Portland to see her durinp
the month she was in school. He had
accompanied her to the place of meeting
and remained outside to escort her home,
thus evading suspicion among Der
friends. After deciding to leave Collins,
Miss Donley says she wrote to Standish
and he at once Joined her in Boston.
Then they were married and came brave
ly home to North Arson to settle all
stories and make explanations.
She says that she really loves her
husband and that the affection for
Collins was only an infatuation. Mr..
and Mrs. Standish will return to Port
land and reside here. 1t is said Collins
will return before long.
Standish was generally regarded in
Portland as an industrious and clean sort
o. fellow.
He worked in Tburston's and several
of the printing houses on Exchange
street.

One manufacturer i'm New York
makes nothing but Night Gowns. He
devotes all his energy and time and
thought to Night Gowns. That is why
his are the best that we ever saw.
They are longer and fuller and the
sleeves are bigger than other Night
Gowns and there are other good points
about them that you will appreciate.
I We buy Night Gowns of this
manufacturer right along and if you
have bought one Of us lately at from
$1.o0 to $500 that you considered
particularly good it very likely was his
make.
The other day we bought this

We had enough before and did not
need more, but the price was very low
and the gowns were good SO we took
them.
There were about Five Hundred
Night Gowns in the lot, and although
they are such good Gowns and so
cheap we did not buy them to keep but
to sell, and sell quickly. On a large

State School Funds.

The income to the state this year
ffom leasing public school lands will be
$4,000. says Pierre dispatch. which is
$4,000 in excess fthe amount received
last year from this source. The reason
of the increase is that the vacant school
sections are very desirable for grazing
purposes, and the school land is being
secured by stockmen for term of years
Tor that purpose. When Forts Randall
aud Sully are secured by the state an
effort will be made by the land depart
ment to file upon the whole Of the re-
servations for school endow msnt pur-
poses. Already big stockmen, antici-
rating that the state will finally take
these lands. have made very liberal
offers to lease them for term OF years.
The amount of land yet to be secured
by the state 10 as follows, although To-
600 acres of the total has been applied
for; Agricultural college. 64,sl9; school

The lower house of congress finally
adopted the conference report on the
Cuban resolutions on Monday by vote
of 24i TO 81. By this action the house
agreed to the senate resolutions, which
disposed Of the Cuban question for the
present at least. The question as to
how and when the president will act in
the matter may only be conjsctursd,
but in view of his being on record in n
message as deprecating the continuance
of the present "cruel and bloody" var
on the island. it would be fair to sup
pose that he would rot long delay the
matter Of extending his good Offices to-
ward bringing about the independence
Of the Cubans. 1t is entirely probable,
however, that he will dream over the
matter for some time, and as the rainy
season is about to open in Cuba. which
will put an end to all military opera
tions until September. he will probably
decide to defer action in the meantime.

Balfour stands up and talks AZ he did.

before silver coinage in India is resumed

the Bank of England. Never before has

General Grosvenor of Ohio, who has
been keeping close cases upon the cleo
ton Of delegates to the st. Louis con-
vention, figures out 275 for Mckinley to
date, and claims that this number will
be increased to 450 by the end Of the
present month. OF the remaining 1852
delegates TO be elected thereafter
he claims large per cent for Mckinley,
which will guarantee his nomination ON
the hrst ballot, result which at this
writing seeus n irely probable.

There is a growing opinion, says the
Pioneer Press, that Mckinley will be
nominated for the presidency by ac-
clamation. This is not because the votes
have been counted. For up to the
present time, out of the 900 delegates
who are 10 comprise the convention
only 40 have yet been elected. OF
these, 235 are for Mckinley, IS for Reed
81 for Morton, 81 for Allison, and % FOR
Quay. The remaining 81 are unpledged.
But the popular sentiment for Mckin-
ley is so strong in the states which have
still to elect delegates that it is reason.
ably safe to conclude that the results
will represent this decided preference
Of the republican voters Moreover, il
is an increasing strength, growing so
the conventions are held its gathered
momentum will probably bear down
all opposition. This means that all eff
forts TO break the Mckinley column in
the interest Of other Candidates will
prove useless. He is so far ahead in the
race thus far that he has the prestige of
success. The states which have been
counted for him will be more strongly
for him than ever. 1t is pretty safe TO
say that he will 60 into the convention
with a safe majority of the delegates.
We have before US table prepared by
the New York Journal which gives him
4l3 votes on the first ballot, and in tn is
table only two Of Minnesota's IS dele
gates are given to Mckinley, when, in
fact. they are solid for him. 1t puts
Missouri in the doubtful column, where
as all its 80 vo tes will be for Mckinley.
The correction of these two errors alone
would give him 459 votes-four more
than are necessary to nomination.
