HELP THE ORPHAN BOYS.
They Want Their Home Repaired
After the storm.


The damage done the Male orphan
Asylum building by the last storm is
very much crater than was at first sup
posed, and the boys are forced to appeal
to the charity of the good people of Rich
mond for aid in restoring it.
The following, which explains itself
was sent to the Dispatch last night by
Mrs. J. II. Gill. the capable superintend-
ent Of the worthy institutions:
1.-THE damage TO our building during
the recent unusual storm renders IL alb
solutely necessary that immediate steps
be taken for its restoration. The eastern
wall of the building, by reason of being
unsupported, was so shaken by the wind
that IL is more than three inches out OF
plumb and in a very dangerous condi-
ton. 1t can be taken down and rebuilt
at about the same expense as it would be
to erect a wing adjoining It, according
to the original design of the architect.
Captain NJ. j. Dimmock. who planned the
building. The wings have not hereto
fore been built for lack of funds. and the
wall can never be made absolutely safe
unless the wing IS constructed as ORR
gInally designed. The cost OF taking
down the wall and rebuilding it will be
a little less than $500 1t will cost 10
build the eastern wing not exceeding the
above amount This is the estimate OF
the architect. Captain Dimmock.
"The western wall is uninjured. The
additional wing is needed very much Tor
the safety and comfort of the inmates
OF the asylum. We are fully aware that
there are now many demands on the
public for aid; but we consider that our
case is very different from others ana
we cannot believe that helpless orphan
age will plead In vain.
ITO this end. we most earnestly appeal
IN n generous public for contributions to
tbis fund. Address all communications

Whatever the Outcome PENN

Not Bolt.

P1TTsBuRo, July 2.-National Chair
man Harrity. en- route to the Chicago
convention. said the outlook for q gold
standard plank 10 not as favorable as
heretofore, and that the silver men
would probably dominate the conven.
tion and put their man in nomination
for president. He added that such a
result would mean hard fight in No.
vember. Whatever the outcome the
Pennsylvania delegation would not
bolt, but abide by the decision Of the
convention. He would not say whether
Robert E. Pattison's name would be
placed before the convention, as a can
date for the presidency, but said the ex.
governor was certainly the unanimous
choice of Pennsylvania.
Vice President Stevenson also passed
through the city for the West during
the night. He positively refused to be
interviewed politically, saying he was
out Of politics, and with his family was
going to their home to spend the sum-

broke down on the road, so that it was
with difficulty that he reached small
village at short distance On his ar
rival there his majesty got out at the
door of the only blacksmith shop in the
town and desired him to repair the
wheel without delay. THAT l would
do willingly, replied the smith. ''but

it not at home.
"An excellent method then presents
Of warming oneself" replied the en-
peror, who was unknown to the smith,
and he set about blowing the bellows
while the blacksmith forged the iron.
The wheel being repaired, soils were
demanded for the job, but the emperor
gave ducats.
The blacksmith returned them to the
traveller. saying. "Sir, you have made
q mistake, and, instead Of 6 soils, have
given me pieces Of gold which no one
in the village can change"

CHICAGO, July 2.-The conference
meeting of the national Democratic BIZ
metallic committee, was called to order
at the Sherman House few minutes
before noon by Senator Harris Of Ten
nessee, who is chairman of the organi-
cation. There was present quorum
of members Of the committee. and a
large number of distinguished silver
Democrats including Turpie of Indiana,
Daniel of Virginia, and Cockrell OF
Missouri, ex-Congressman Bryan of
Nebraska, Snodgrass of Tennessee. be-
sides others.
The meeting was devoted largely to
introduction and the exchange of views
as to the lookout for the approaching
convention. The opinion was gener-
ally expressed that there would be no
question as to the absolute control of
the convention by the silver forces, to
which was generally added determi-
nation to see that nothing happened to
in any way weaken the control There
was more or less individual discussion
of Mr.. Whitney's attitude among the
delegates. 1t was noted that there was
no expression on the part of any one
favorable to yielding anything 20 the
gold standard element.

Gold Men Not TO BE Considered In Max

CHICAGO, July Aft the prognosti-
cations of w. II. Hinrichsen. delegate
at large and chairman of the Illinois
state central committee, are correct. the
gold standard delegates to the national
Democratic convention, will be given
no quarter.
1.-The silver men are going to run the
convention" said Mr. Hinrichsen
"They will control both the temporary
and permanent organizations, and will
nominate a free silver ticket from
top to bottom, and adopt a free
silver, l6 to l. platform. The
wishes Of the gold men will
not be considered. The states they
represent will not vote the ticket, and
so they will be ignored Last year.
when the Democrats of Illinois held a
convention and declared for free silver.
I wrote to Mr.. Whitney and other gold
men, asking for q conference between
the gold and silver men of the party
The replies were short and curt They
could not think of consulting with so
insignificant crowd as the free silver
wing represented, Things have changed
now. We have two thirds of the dele
gates. We will not confer with the
gold men because we have nothing to
confer about. The great Democratic
party wants free silver ticket and
platform. and we will give it to them. :"

BAD BILLS BREAK.

It Was . Sensational Feature and Shut Up
the Whole Revival.
Bad Bill was well known charac-
ter in the west, and there are many
stories told of his exploits, but one of
the best has never been printed, and
was related to reporter by man who
was present when it occurred
Great Bend, Kan. NOW one Of the
best towns in the state, was at one time
about the worst. That was when it was
railroad terminus before Dodge City
was established.
A travelling evangelist went to Great
Bend and tried to start revival. There
were a few Christians in town, and
these all attended the first meeting, the
only one Of the unregenerate present be-
ing Bad Bill, who took q front seat
Every one feared trouble when he walk
ed into the church, but he sat quietly
during the exhortation. The evangelist
requested all who wanted to go to hea-
ven to stand up, and every person pres
ent except Bill arose. When they were
seated again, Bill got up. and, drawing
two pistols, said:
''You say you want to go to heaven.
Now, anything I can do to help this
game along and give pleasure to the
players, I'm in for. You all want to 90
to heaven, and I'll give you as good a
chance as you'll ever have. The first
man that gets up I'll give him a ticket
clean through, without any stop overs "
The evangelist crawled under a seat
and the members Of the congregation
laid on the chairs

IN earnest, so we'll put out the lights
and call this meeting adjourned. One
by one he shot out the lights, and by
morning the evangelist was on his way
to Hutchinson, while the members OF
the congregation kept quiet and made
no further attempts at holding revi
