Silver Knight, chairman, and r. E. Diffen-
dorfer of Pennsylvania secretary. Joseph
Sheldon of Connecticut moved that w. P.
st. John Of New York be made permanent
chairman Of the committee. G. w. Finch
of Kansas moved as q substitute that the
Hon. =. A. Towne be nominated for that
position. He advocated his proposition in
speech of considerable length, arguing
that it was good policy to push as many
Republicans to the front as possible, be-
cause silver Republicans had nowhere to
go from their old party relations except
into the camp of the silver men.
Mr.. Finch was alone in this position.
however, Mr.. Davis of Minnesota stating

ed with loud applause.
The effect of the speech upon the dele
gates was most happy, nearly every sem
tence being followed by enthusiastic mani
festations Of approval. When Mr.. ST.
John concluded many delegates rose to
their feet and cheered. The next business
in order, Chairman st. John announced.
was the appointment OF special commit
tees.
G. w. Baker of California moved the
appointment OF committee of one from
each State 10 meet a similar committee
from the Populist Convention to take up
the question of the differences between the
two parties, for the purpose of coming to
some rational agreement to the end that
the nomination of Bryan and Sewall might
be ratified by the two conventions. Mr..
Oimstead of Oregon. speaking for the Pop
ulists and as one of the leaders of that
party in his State, seconded the motion,
making the suggestion that each State
delegation select its representative on the
committee. The motion was further sec
onded by delegates from Missouri and
Virginia. A delegate asked If any one
knew that the Populists were ready to
confer with the Silver party. Mr.. OIni-
stead, speaking for the Populists again.
responded that they were ready to meet
the silver men anywhere and be urged
the silver men to meet the Peoples party
half way.
Some desultory discussion ensued as to
the propriety of the silver men making
the first advances. Mr.. Olmstead again
addressed the convention, stating that the
two conventions were called to meet here
to-day. in order to consolidate the free
silver forces for the campaign. The Popu-
lists, being the older party, and having
always stood for free silver. 1t would i'll
become their dignity, he thought, for them
to take the first steps. Mr.. Porter OF Vir-
ginia, and delegate from Ohio, seconded
the motion, and urged that the great end
of united and harmonious action be kept
in view. a delegate from Illinois offered
g substitute for Mr.. Bakers motion, to the
effect that each State delegation select a
member of this conference committee, and
that the Populis. convention be notified OF
the action and requested to select similar
com mittee.
A delegate asked If 1t was-the intention
to await the report of the proposed COM
mittee before proceeding to the nomina-
ton of Bryan and Sewall. lCries OF NO. y

Then Milikin goes on to tell how the hose
was turned on colored women for singing
and other brutal treatment. He also de-
scribes the Jail store, where prisoners pur-
chase with their scant cash, and the profits
of which are divided with Chief Warden
Wilson. The management of the store is
given over to a prisoner serving three
year term for manslaughter.
The writer calls attention to laxities in
the prison discipline, and makes aflidavits
to his statement. He pays particular at
tention to the vices practised in the Jail.

NEWCASTLE'S BAD JAIL.
Affidavit as to the Condition of Things
by Former Prisoner.

G. S. Griffith, President Of the Maryland
Prisoners Aid Association, has received a
letter from Thomas r. Millikin regarding
alleged abuses in Newcastle Jail.
Millikin was prisoner there, and for
two years acted as bookk eeper. He says.
81 was delegated to escort all visitors
through the Jail, and instructed to give no
information to newspaper men in regard to
the management of the place. The cell

night, and, having access to every part of
the building, I was enabled! to observe
everything transporting in this institution"

FASHION NOTES.

Some new spring wraps are gay little
fantasies of brocaded silk and velvet.
Wells with very large dots are considered
the correct thing this season.
The crepe veil reaching just to the waist
line is worn by the youthful widow.
Narrow black satin ribbon, combined
with lace insertion, makes smart summer
bodice.
silk that costs s. yard looks as
though bottle of ink had been spilled
over its surface.
An evening colarette of ermine cut in
deep points is edged with iabot effect of
white chiffron.
The biggest craze of the season are the
neck rufus, which are selling in every i'm
aginable combination.
When your white satin neck ribbons
get soiled brush them with soap and water
and lay out on marble slab to dry.
Belts will be worn with simple costumes.
Sound waists of the dressy order have
the broad empire sash of silk Or velvet.
The new woman now has her shirt waists
made to order just as her father, husband
and sweetheart have their linen measured.
A handsome travelling wrap is made Of
plum-colored cloth, with velvet REFERS,
collar and cuffs. 1t is lined with soft satin
and closed with very large buttons.
Long end and loops of ribbon will be
fastened to the shoulders of summer gowns
with two hanging in front after being
cought to the belt and the others floating
at the back.
Many of the new capes are caught at the
back by belt or ribbon bow and have long
ends showing hint OF the mantle. All
capes seems to be made with interlinings
this season.
Some of the new poke bonnets have al
ready been in evidence on several heads
among the smart set. 1t is significant that
only the prettiest of pretty women have
had the courage to appear in them.
Some new gloves have tiny bows of rib
bon over each button, novelty that will
scarcely appeal to the average woman, who
has all she can do to keep the buttons of
her gloves on, and will not want the addi-
ti"nal burden OF bows to look after.
Quantities of lace will be used for trim
ming the sheer-wori fabrics Narrow
Nalencienncs will be used by the bolt
rather than the yard. The wider widths
OF the same and the pointe de Paris and
oriental laces will divide favor with mar
row edgings.
Bracelets are being offered again after a
considerable absence, but they are not as
yet meeting with very cordial reception.
They are shown in plain and twisted
rather heavy bars, and do not clasp, but
slip over the hand by means of an adjust
able spring.
White pearl trimmings are greatly fav-
ored but not to the exclusion of coore d
effects. Very narrow trimmings, one-half
to one inch, are in colors and pearl en-
brodered, though generally speaking,
galloons from one and one-half to two and
one half inches are used.

A frowning line OF black basaltic cliffs
Battles the savage onset of the surf.
But. rolled in cloud and foam old Skidloe
lifts
His dark, defiant head forever mid
TIE shock and thunder of contending tides,
And fixed, immovabe as fate, hurls back
The rude, eternal protest of the sea
Colossal waters coil about his feet,
Deep rooted in the awful CULTS between
The measureless walls of mountain chains
submerged;
An Infinite hoarse murmurs wells from all
His dim mysterious crypts and corridors:
The inarticuate mutterings that voice
The ancient secret of the mighty main.
In all the troubled round of sea and air,
No glimpse of brightness lends the vivid zest
OF life and light to the harsh monotone
OF gray tumultuous flood and spectral sky;
Far off the black basatic crags are heaved
Against the desolate emptiness of space;
But no sweet beam of sunset ever falls
Athwart old Skidloe's cloudy crest-no soft
And wistful glory Of awakened dawn
Lays on his haggard brews touch of grace
Sometimes a lonely curlew skins across
The seething torment of the dread abyss,
And, shrieking, dips into the mist beyond;
But, solitary and unchanged for aye,
He towers amid the rude revolt of waves,
His stony face scanned by a thousand years,
And wrnkled with million burrows. worn
By the slow drip of briny tears, that creep
Along his hollow cheek His hidden hands
Drag down the drowned and tossing wrecks
that drive
Before the fury OF the Northern gales.
And mute, inscrutable rs destiny,
He keeps his sombre secrets as of yore.
The slow years come and go; the seasons
dawn
And fade. and pass to swell the solemn ranks
OF august ages in the march of Time.
But changeess still, amid eternal change,
Old Skidloe bears the furious brunt of all
The warning elements that Srapple mid
The mighty Instructions of the sea.
Gray desolation, ancient solitude,
Brood DER his wide. unrestful water world,
While grim. unmoved, forbidding as Of yore,
He wraps his kingly attitudes about
With the fierce blazon of the thunder cloud:
And on his awful and uplifted brows
The red phylactery of the lightning shines:
And throned amid eternal wars, he dwells,
His dread regality hedged round by all
The weird magniicence of eXultant storms
