ALL FOR SILVER.
Forty thousand Colorado Men to sign
Agreement.


Denver. Col. April 2s.-At a silver mass
meeting held here tonight l. n. Stevens
was the principal speaker. Mr.. Stevens
stated that the meeting was not to be
construed as the formation of a silver
party in Colorado and that the organiza-
ton would have nothing to do with local
or state politics. It's object was to secure
the signatures OF at least 10000 Colorado
citizens to a pledge that they would sup
port no presidential nominee who was not
for silver at l6 to 1. Their pledge is to be
sent to the national bimetallic headquar-
ters In Washington. The new organiza-
tion will elect 20 delegates 90 the national
silver convention in st. Louis. About 1000
signatures were secured at the meeting
tonight letter from Senator Teller
was read encouraging the silver men to
continue their efforts for the restoration
OF the white metal and speeches were
made by II. w. Speer. Judge Bucker and
prominent men OF all parties.

ARIZONA REPUBLICANS.
They VIII Send Free silver Delegates to

Phoenix. Arizona, April 2s.-The Arr
zona territorial republican convention
will meet in Phoenix tomorrow. To-
night the Mckinley faction apparently
has the call on the organization. and
there is little doubt that the convention
will endorse the Ohioan. A strong
movement was started to-day for
non-committal money plank in the fear
that a strong silver plank might jeopar-
die statehood. This Is fiercely oppos-
ed. however. by the delegates from all
the mining regions and the platform
will endorse silver coinage at the ratio
OF 16 to 1. and will probably instruct
the delegates to ST. Louis TO labor for
the advancement of the cause OF the

Not : compliment.

Senator Fnlmer tellS THIS SION on
himself: While I was exercising
some military authority in Kentucky
during the late war, l received a let
ter from a distinguished jurist. He
was atormer chief-justice of the state.
He wrote me to inquire as to his
rights under certain circumstances.
| replied hat / could not venture to
state the law Of the case to a jurist Of
so much distinction. He answered
me by saying that if it were a question
of the divine law, or OF natural law,
or of statute law. OF OF municipal law.
he never would think of consulting
me; but that as martial law was the
will of the general commanding. it
seemed proper to ask me. I realized
the force of the rebuke. The Judge
did not by any means intend to pay
me a compliment. "-Argonaut

There is a new story around Chica-
go anent Whistler. 1t is claimed that
he painted a portrait of Miss Marion
Peck, daughter of the late Harold Peck,
was paid for it, and now refuses to
send it to such a place as Chicago"
The ssory is singularly lacking in veri-
similitude, for despite all Whistler's
eccentricities he is anything but dis
honest. Moreover, the added detail that
Miss Peck gave the great painter 80"
sittings for the portrait at once shows
the improbability of the whole matter,
as Whistler is known the world over
as the most rapid painter living, and
he never in his life gave half or quar-
ter that time to a portrait.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is in1amed you AVE q
rumbling sound, or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Two more Vanderbilt divorces have
been passed through the New York
courts. William Nissan, a relative of
the m%illionaires, failed to get a divorce
from his wife, but her counter suit was
granted; and Mrs. Mary V%anderbilt's
suit against her husband, Jacob H.
Vanderbilt, was also granted. Other
families would lose social standing il
their members appeared as persistently
in the divorce courts as DO these pluto

stand so secure from the bankruptcy
court helps them out in their domes-
tic-legal troubles. No doubt!

William A.. Eddy, the kite p%hotogra-
pher, is much elated over the success
of hiC most recent experiment. He
obtained seventeen practically perfect
negatives of the great sound money
parade in New York in the short time
of even hours. The cameras were
elevated to a height of 1900 feet by
flights of six kites harnessed together
and the shutters worked perfectly by
electricity. The space covered is so
large in the picture that Mr.. Eddy
claims he has c~onclusively proved the
advantage of kite photography in max
ing pictures of the movements of
armies in warfare.

Color Line in South Africa.

Mr.. John Brice writes as follows in
the course of an interesting article in
the Century Magazine: In South Afri-
native, whatever his rank, is received
on any social occasion inside a white
house. When Khama, the famous chief
OF the Ba-Mangwato, a Christian, and
a man of admittedly high character,
who has ruled his people with singu-
lar wisdom and ability. was in Eng
land last autumn, and was there en-
tertained at lunch by the Duke Of
Westminster and other persons of So
cial eminence, the news excited gen
eral annoyance and disgust among the
whites in South Africa. Thus one may
say that there is 10 social intercourse
whatever between the races; their re-
lations are purely those of business.
Now and then the black man gets
ahead of the white, but the latter's
pride of race remains. 1 was told of
a white who condescended to be hired
to work by a Kaffir, but stipulated that
the Kafir should address him as
Boss" Intermarriage is not forbidden
by law in the two British colonies, as
in most, if not all, of the Southern
States of America, but it Is excessively
rare; nor does it appear that there
are now other irregular unions, outside
marriage, as there constantly were in
the old days while slavery existed. In
this respect the cas- of South Africa
remarkably resembles that of the
Southern States, where also there is
now very little mixture of blood,
though there was a great deal fifty
years ago.

People Dull, Cross and Thin.
Few persons are aware that violent

TOO SOLID FLESH.
How It Can Be Reduced Without Any
Danger to Health.

Danger to Health.
A great many women, convinced that
flesh is inimical to beauty the
"deathblow of grace, as an arbitrary
critic puts it-injure health in the en-
deavor to reduce weight. They put
themselves to great trouble and in
convenience, swallow all sorts of pre-
ventives and remedies in order to get
thin, and then stand aghast at the
spectacle of their wrinkled, aabby faces
and Threats, the result of the falling
away of flesh under the elastic skin.
AS a matter of fact, a number of the
notable women of the world, famous
not only for their beauty, but for the
rare charms of intellect and subtle fas-
clnation, women who have helped
to make history and been a power in
their day, were of distinctly generous
proportions.
Cleopatra, she whose Infinite vari.
ETY." of charm and temper could win
stern-hearted warriors to forget their
ambitions, was small and stout. Marie
:Antoinette was of the plump order,
though tall and of fine bearing, and,
to come down to the present day, view
the widowed Queen Victoria, sovereign
of the United Queendom;;" the in
creasing proportions of Queen Margher-
ita of Italy and the generous outlines
OF Queen Isabella of Spain. 1t is
worthy of note that most of the great
interpreters of song are stout, or bor-
dering on that condition, and there
have been lights in the literary world
decidedly fat, whether tall of stature
or the reverse. George Sand" was fat
and small, and likewise Nine. De Stael.
Fashions votaries will doubtless con-
tinue to strive after the ~slenderness
which seems so desirable. For those
willing to sacrifice the prompting of
appetite for the desired aim, an au-
thority recommends that they should
regulate their days as follows: A
tumblerful of hot water must be taken
on waking in the morning. Rise early
and have a tepid bath, with vigorous
rubbing afterward with a flesh brush.
Avoid drinking at meals and only have
three meals a day. Take one small
cup Of tea at breakfast, some dry toast,
boiled fish or a small outlet and baked
apple or a little fresh fruit. At dinner,
which should be at midday, take white
fish or meat, dry toast or stale bread
vegetables and fruit, either fresh OF
stewed. For supper, toast, salad
fruit and six ounces Of wine or water
Hot water with lemon juice in it is
good for supper.-Philadelphia Times

From infancy to old age humanity
must have apr ciative words from
time to time. They are wholesome and
stimulating; but to depend upon praise

into gloom without them, to allow ones
cheerfulness to lapse when the outside
world seems to be unaware of ones
important presence-this is simply de-
spicable.
