III OF SILK HATS.
Gray Club Members Think They May
BE Taken for Risfocrats

for the Gray Club to participate in the
Bryan reception. TIL club hopes to have
s. turnout of at least one hundred. The
members will assemble at the clubrooms
in the Consumers Gas Trust building.
Tuesday, at noon, and will march from
there to the point Of assembling. Quite a
heated discussion was had yesterday after
noon about the purchase of new uniforms.
Ii resulted in a determination TO purchase
new tiles. 1t is probable that new badges
will also be provided, as some of the mem
bers fear they might be mistaken for
''drefful gold bugs on account of the gilt
fringe on the badges. Some question the
propriety of wearing silk hats, fearing
genuine Populists might look on them as
the badge of aristocracy, especially as
white vests form part of the club uniform.
The club Will be proceeded by a band.

better fa-ted and weighed more than in any other
summer packing season for the last ten years.

KILLED BY THE CHUTEs.
A Brother of Will Usher of This City
Loses His Life.

st. Louis, July 30.-While the game at
Sportsman's park was in progress.
Robert Usher, one of the employees of
the chutes, sculled into the chute lake
to recover a hat for a woman. Just as
he arrived in front of the chutes a boat
with eight people in it shot down the
incline, bounded as it struck the water
and then struck Usher on the head,
hurting him into the water with terri
bic force. When he was recovered it
was found that his skull had been
fractured. He died in ten minutes. The
man who had charge of the chute boat
was Usher's brother-in-laW.
W. c. Watts of Union City Tenn,
one of the passengers in the chute boat,
said: I'VE saw the skiff when we were
about half way down, and realized
that nothing could save the man. Our
boatman tried to warn him, but I think
he must have been too frightened to
make any effort to get out of our way.
I never experienced so much agony in
so short a time as during the few sec
Onds intervening between the time we
first saw him and the time we struck
him. do not think any one can be
blamed for the accident, except
the man himself, who was careless in
going in front of the chutes without
being on the lookout for homecoming
bOats.''
Robert Usher was a brother of VIII

graphing company's establishment in

A representative woman will be seat
ed upon a high seat, while all around
her will lie grouped persons to repre-
sent the classes of people who are dis
barred from voting. One of the battle
cries of the women suffragistS is that
woman is put in the same class with
idiots, lunatics, Indians, Cinnamon and
convicts, by not being allowed to vote.
On the float each of these classes will
be represented. One of the women, in
speaking of the affair at a recent meet
ing, suggested that for the idiot it
would be appropriate to have a woman
who did not want the ballot to repre-
sent the idiot, but this is just some gen
tie persi1age.
Every one wouldn't understand that.

be secured to represent it. Some quiet

husband of the suffrage women will be
dressed in stripes 10 represent the con-

Temperance Union appeared before the

cars.
The practice is bad enough under or
