New York, August 1.-THE Demo-
cratic national committee was in ses-
sion about three-quarters Of an hour

The committee gave an official decision
to the amendment offered by Senator

the scope Of the financial plank not
being adopted. Congressman James D..
Richardson. OF Tennessee. who was
acting chairman when the platform
was adopted, stated TO his personal

ed by Senator Jones. The committee
ordered the publication Of the platform

nent Chairman White. c. E. Walsh.

nenet secretary. and an adjournment

Ellensburg, August l2.-All eyes were
turned toward the Populist convention
today. as the Democrats and Free Sill

deliberations that they were in favor
Of fusion. The expressions tonight in
dlcate that there viii be fusion. The
majority Of the Popullsts want fusion
II they can have the governorship, but
II they cannot get this there is a
strong probability Of a straight Pop

question Of fusion Is out Of the way.
but the Populists will not consent to
Lewis as the head Of the ticket The
Lewis men are in favor OF proceeding
with the nominations without waiting

but the majority fear this would re-
move all possibility Of fusion. The Pop
ullsts have at least four candidates
for governor. but no man is able to
measure his strength until the confer

backed by Spokane for governor; ]. II.

THE HAZARDS OF INFANT LIFE.

The constant care which the overfond
mother gives her infant. ever handling
and holding it, picking it up in her
arms as soon as 1t awakens, constantly
talking and singing to it, is calculated
to excite the child and keep it in a
continual state of nervous strain. The
blessed quiet which brain-weary, nerve
exhausted grown people long for is
baby's right, and the wise mother will
never allow anything to rob her child
Of this health-giving privilege. Don't
fuss nor play roughly with baby.
Babies should be handled and moved
about as little as possible. The COM
mon practice of keeping them constant
ly in motion when awake is fruitful of
trouble in many ways, and especially
is the evening romp, when baby in high
glee is tossed to the ceiling by its fond
papa, an iniquitous practice. 1t is
small wonder if the little mite demand
another romp at the inconvenient hour
of midnight, and its parents have only
their own indiscretion TO blame for
this inconvenient wakefulness.-From
Summer Care of Babies" in pemor-
ests Magazine for August.

Ellensburg. August l2-The Demo-
cratic. Populist and Free Silver con-
ventions met here today. AL perfected
temporary organization. a committee
was appointed by each convention for
the purpose OF comforting and endeav-
orlng to agree on a fusion ticket.
The Democratic convention perfected
permanent organization this afternoon
by electing Stephen Judson, Of Pierce
county. as permanent chairman. w.
II. White, Of Seattle, was chosen ma
tional committeeman. in place OF Hugh
Wallace. resigned. H. T. Jones, Of
Spokane. was elected chairman Of the
state central committee.
When the Populist convention met
this afternoon, the committee not being
ready to report. an hour and a half
was spent in listening to oratory which
was put in in large quantities. Pat
rick Henry Winston. OF Spokane, was
invited TO the platform. and in a speech
OF nearly an hour in length. he stated
that he had at last found the party
which suited him precisely. and that
party was the Popullst party.
After a recess OF an hour the report
of the credentials committee was re-
ceived and adopted. The temporary
organization was made permanent. An
attempt was made to take up the reso-
luton from the Democratic convention
regarding the conference committee,
but after wrangle. during which mo-
tions were made by the dozen, the
convention left the resolution on the
table and adjourned till p. m.
When the convention reassembled,
after a long and tedious debate, the
motion prevailed to appoint one men,
Der from each county to confer with
the Democrats and Free Silverites. The
appointed by the convention
the conference committee to
determine the terms of fusion, while
the committees appointed by the Demo-
Gratis and Silver Republicans are only
to formulate a plan for
a conference committee. The platform
was then read and the convention ad-
journed till 9 a. m. tomorrow.
The Democrats met in the evening,
but owing 10 the fact that the Popu-
lists did not appoint conference COM
mittee until late at night, the conven-
ton adjourned until $3.50 tomorrow
The silver Republicans transacted no
at the evening session and
adjournment was taken till tomorrow
The Democrats and free silver con-
ventions appointed committees consist
ing of seven lawyers each, to render
an opinion as to the legality of fusion.
The Populists are expected to appoint
a like committee.
The Populist platform, which will be
taken up for adoption tomorrow, re-
affirms the principles enunciated at
Omaha and st. Louis. 1t demands that
the people shall be given a direct vote
on all important legislation and that
all officers elected shall be the servants
of the people, subject at any time to
recall or dismissal, and not as at pres
ent. the masters of those who created
them, 1t demands the enactment into
law of the following propositions: Ma

Her Funeral Yesterday-The Whitneyvilie
Church Thronged With Sorrowing
Friends.
The funeral services of Mrs. Lucy
Ives Konold, wife of William J Konold
of Konold & Son, took place yesterday
afternoon. Short services were held at
the residence of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs George w Ives, in Hamden, pray
ers being offered by Rev. Mr.. Clark of
Whitneyville Congregational church
Afterward the mourning friends pro-
ceeded in carriages to the Whitneyville
Congregational church, where services
were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Clark, who
made beautiful and touching remarks
appropriate to this peculiarly sad oc-
casion, the deceased, a bride of a few
weeks, having died in a foreign land
while on her wedding tour. The pastor
spoke words Of consolation for the be-
reaved husband, parents and brother,
whose hearts We're SO deeply touched
by sorrow In the loss of this loved and
estimable young lady, who was a de-
voted wife and daughter She was also
a member Of Whitneyville church and
one who had been useful and interested
in the work and prosperity of the
church. The floral tributes were very
| beautiful and We're in view near the
| pulpit There We're several pieces of
exquisite flowers and most beautiful de-
signs. The church was filled to over
| flowing with mourning and sympathiz-
| ing friends. Itkwas one Of the largest
| funerals held at the church in years.
The remains lay enclosed in a beautiful
lavender colored broadcloth metallic
casket, into which they had been re-
moved from the metallic casket in
| which the remains had been brought
across the ocean, The remains We're
exposed to view at the home; also at
the church at the close of the services,
and looked very 1ifelike and natural,
the face of the sleeper looking reposeful
and peaceful, and as If she but slept.
The pallbearers were H. II. Lee, Fl. G.
Konold, Dr. Robert Peabody of Balti-
more, Fl. r. Shares, William Barton,
and Albert Widman. The flower bear
ers were Edward and Harold Davis,
Charles Stevens, and Whitney Benton
Stahl & Son of this city were the fun
eral directors. The interment was II
