GIVE LIS STRENGTH


GIVE Us STRENGTH
and courage TO do what an enlightened
conscience shall declare to be our duty.
Inspire us with a patriotism above
eXPediency. Remind us that honesty
is nc. only the best, but the only policy
worthy the consideration Of a great pee
pie. May the hearts Of all be filed with
profound respect and sympathy for our
tOi,ing multitudes oppressed with bur-
deRs too heavy fer them to bear; heav-
ier than we should allow them to bear
Teach us how to give them relief with
out doing violence to the rights Of any.
While we plead for ourselves we are
mindful Of the sorrows of others. Nay
the day soon cCme when no power Shal!
be permitted 10 irfiict upon a brave
people indefeIsible slaughter and un-
sp6akab,e shame; when no cloud O, dss-
I0tism shall overhang those who sigh
for liberty May we ever feel the deep
est sympathy for the distressed in the
great brotherhood Of mankind and yet
be able to maintain an honorable peace
with all.
Upon the great convention now as
SemOled in Thy presence, send Thy gra-
cious blessing. May its members be in
spired with the most exalted patriot
ism, seeking no private or sectional
advantage, burt only the national good;
so that our united and prosperous land
may continue 10 be in all that is truest
and best an inspiration to the nations
of the earth. And to Thee, our God
shall we ascribe all the honor and glory
forever and ever. Amen.
As the convention seated itself. Chair
man Harr.ty stepped forward and after
a short rap Of the gavel announced in
clear tones the selection of
SENATOR DAVID B. HILL
for temporary chairman. This an
nouncement was what the gold men
were waiting for and with a shout they
leaped to their feet and with waving
arms they shouted cut their approval
Among the spectators also there was
a cheer of appreciation. Some enthusi-
astic delegate yelled: Three cheers
for David b. Hill" and they were given
with a will.
Senator Sheerin. Cf Indiana, for sec
retary and John Martin for sergeant-at-

convention had quieIed down. What
is the pleasure OF the convention?' ask
ed Mr.. Harrity, calmly, as if he d5a
not know of the storm which was to fol-

Mr.. Clayton, the member of the ma
tional committee from Arkansas, arose
and every silver man and every specta-
tor in the hall knew that the gauge Of
cf battle was to be thrown down and
they rose to man and cheered. AS
socn as he announced that he deemed
it MS duty to present a minority report
the demonstration that followed the an
nouncement Of the selection Of Mr.. Hills
name was as a breeze as compared to
cyclone. The six hundred odd delegates
practically mounted their chairs and
cheered while from ten thousand throats
in the audience came hOarse roar of
approval that sourded like roll Of
thunder. For over three minutes the
demonstration continued and it was re-
newed at several points as Mr.. Clayton
read the minority report nominating
Senator Daniel, of Virginia.

Girls Evening Dresses.

''The materials in vogue for young
girls gowns for evening parties are
simple, but dainty" writes Isabel A.
Mallon in Ladies' Home Journal.
Lightweight silks, chiffon over silk,
organdie or dotted muslin developed in
the same way, with decorations of youth
ful looking laces and many ribbons,
makes particularly pretty gowns for
evening wear. The young girls bodice
is made either quite high and finished
with soft frill about her neck or else
it is cut out in what is known as the
Dutch square. Long sleeves or elbow
puffs are proper with the Dutch square,
and many picturesque effects are OBJ
tanned by this combination. No matter
how rounded an arm may be, nor how
pretty the hand. evening gloves should
be worn with the party dress The fan
is not an absolute necessity TO the even
ing toilet, but it is always % pretty
and graceful addition.
China silk, lightweight corded
silks, chiffon, organdie and muslin are
the materials dedicated to the young
girl. When any one of these is made up
for evening wear, the lining should be
of lightweight, bat not a corded silk
or an Inexpensive satin. Pale blue, tur-
quoise b'ue, rose and salmon pink, pale
silver gray, and, best of all, white are
the colors in vogue for the young girl.
No matter how charming the heliotropc
shade may seem, it should not be chosen
for young girl. And no matter how
glowing and attractive a bright red
fabric is, it is inartistic rs IA party
dress and should on no account be
chosen. In this connection it may be-
said that the prettiest Of all party dresses
for "a young girl is the one made OF
white material"

Hats For Small Mnidens.

For children it is always well to
make your design rs simple as possible
Avoid two shades Of ribbon, If one will
do as well, and any unnecessary number
of feathers and ornaments.
Nothing is more becoming TO the
small girl than null and lace. She can
bear it in most delicate tints noxt to her
fresh young skin, and it will add only
new charms to her clear. laughing eyes
Plated ribbon or silk is in great de-
mand for brimless hats, and very little
is needed besides, sometimes merely a
rosette of lace being quite sufficient II
anything more is needed to give added
chic, frills may always be used in con-
trasting colors.
Hats Of null are fashioned on wire
frames. and a great advantage Of the
material is its soft, yielding quality.
which makes il easy to place. IL it is
plated in fine machine plaits, it may be
laid about the crown and face without
the least difficulty.
A unique design for curly headed
miss has a straight crown Of lace, stand
ing like halo above the head, with a
bow standing erect OH each side. con-
nected by narrow band. Tho lace is
that most becoming shade Of ecru, and
the ribbon is corn colored. scattered
with small red roses. Boston journal.

Mrs. stowe as Grandmother.

Mrs. James T. Fields, in Tho Allan
tic, quotes from private letters written
by Mrs. Stowe soon after the advent of
her daughters baby, suggesting new
way of settling tho woman question:
II am doing just what you say" she
wrote, "being first lady in waiting on
his new majesty. He is very pretty,
very gracious and good. and his little
mamma and he are pair. l am getting
to be an old fool of grandma, and to
think there is no bliss under heaven to
compare with baby" Later she wrote
on the same subject: "You ought to see
my baby. / have discovered way to
end the women controversy. Let the
women all say that they won't take
care Of the babies till the laws are al
tered. One week Of this discipline would
bring all the men on their marrow
bones. Only tell us what you want, they
would say, and we will do 1t. OF course
you may imagine me trailing after our
little king--first granny in waiting"

The Bolcro and Eton Jncket.

Who will persuade the short, stout
woman that the bolero and Eton jack
cts, with the clasping centuries or gir-
dies which accompany them and are
now so much worn, are not for herr II
is pathetic, says New York fashion
writer, the way women make them
selves unattractivc by studying other
women's fashions instead Of their own.
Every woman who has reached the age
OF 25 has achieved by accident or inten-
tion some time in her life becoming
toilet. 1t may have been piccemeal--a
hat that specially suited her, gown
that her friends spoke Of, jacket or
mantle that she knew she looked well in
but let her remember the combination
and forever dress on that model. II

prevailing style, but n little care will
do this, and in these days Of infinite va

Rather Let tho New Woman Go.

When all has been said and done,
when the new woman has become an
established parsonage among us, and
has advanced in years AS well rs in wis.
dom and honor. there will still be one
thing for the world to regret and sigh
for-we shall have no more fat old la
dies, bless 'em!
For OF course the new woman, trained
from her youth in the most approved
and effective methods of physical cul-
ture, with all her superior knowledge
of how to control bodily conditions, to
put off flesh and take it on at will, will
never, even in her old age, commit the
error of growing stout. So that, when
the present generation Of old ladies, our
mistaken--some might say misshapen
-aunts and grandmothers, are laid to
rest, there will be nobody left to fill
their wide armchairs by the fireside (the
new grandmothers will probably be in
the gymnasium), and the world will
know want which no superiority Of
the new woman can satisfy. This loss
will not be felt all at once; it will steal
gradually upon us as q shadow steals

Frcnchwomon rarely lace tightly, and
one Of the objections that American
women make 10 the work of the French
dressmake.s is that their garments are
never made to flt closely enough. 1t has
been the style for several years in Paris
for women TO wear clothes that fit the
figure only with comparative closcness,
and this made extremely tight lacing
unnecessary.
On the other hand, the women Of Ger
many and Austria lace themselves into
such a condition of rigidity that Ameri-
cans wonder how life is maintained un-
der the abnormal pressure. The women
of these two nations are on an average
larger than the Frenchwomen, and the
height Of modishness is only obtained
among them when certain conventional
ideas of what constitutes good figure
have bccn secured by sufficient tension
on their stays.
The variations on this idea in Ger
many are unique. There the possession
of small waist is regarded a. highly
important TO womanly beauty. but it is
not when viewed from the front that
the result is most admired The stays
are drawn with the idea of producing q
curve, not on the sides, but in front,
and tho small waist is most highly re-
garded when its narrowncss is fore and
aft and not lateral. This is q national
eccentricity of taste hard TO appreciate.
In England there are said to be two
classes Of women, one composed of those
who scoInfully abandon stays and the
other of those who use them to the COM
pletc loss CT every other idea than tho
most condensed waist they can possibly
be made to produce. Doubtless there il
less tight lacing among the women Of
this country and France than in any
other nation III the world, and in these
countries the change in the fashion will
