angular shades and are well fitted for
small tables standing in corners of
rooms.
For O shade for the drawing-room
yellow silk and lisse are suggested, Dor
dered with small stars and crescents of
black velvet. Buy or have made frame
to suit your fancy. A four-sided Ian
tern is the easiest to cover, and some adj
mire most those that decrease in size
toward the bottom. Cover very
smoothly all the four sides with yell
low silk-a thin make of silk. You can
decorate the gauze at home by cutting
out black velvet lozenges and cumming
them on to a net foundation. Cutsome
yellow lisse or fine silk muslin into
strips, one wide strip for the top of
the lantern and narrow ones for the
ruches. Cut out one edge of the wide
strip into plain round scallops. Out
line these with lozenges of black velvet
graduated in size, or they may all be
of equal dimensions. Three-eighths of
an inch Is good size. Gum these firm
ily to the material, then powder the re-
mainder of 1t with small crescents,
stars and lozenges. These should not
be used too freely or the effect will
be heavy. Scallop the narrow strips ON
both sides and outline with small
lozenges. Quite thin make of velvet
should be chosen for this purpose.
Cover the top of the lantern with silk,
and over this gather on the lisse rather
scantily, draw it in tightly at the collar,
leaving the wide frill with it's seal
Hoped edge outstanding. Down each
perpendicular wire of the frame carry
a full ruching of lisse, add ruche
around the top of the panels and an
other at the bottom. This completes
the shade,-Chicago Chronicle.

LETTUCE FOR SOUPS.
1t Is Much Better Than the Average
Housewife Thinks.


Lettuce, according to Twentieth Cen
fury Cookery, forms a much better soup
ingredient than the average American
housewife imagines. 1t also makes an
excellent vegetable, especially the large
headed and coarse-leaved varieties,
which are now both plentiful and
cheap.
Wash the leaves free from grit, break
them into pieces, put into frying pan
a tablespoonful of beef dripping; when
hot, add tablespoonful of chopped
onion; let it color slightly; then put
into the pan as much of the torn-up
lettuce as it will hold; add no water;
cover and stir the pan to prevent burn
ing; the heat will cause the lettuce to
exude moisture. Season with salt and
pepper. When the lettuce has boiled,
or rather steamed down, and looks
cooked-which will be In Is or 20 min
utes-turn it into two quarts of soup
stock. Simmer Is minutes longer, and
serve with croutons or toasted bread
dice.
Or, instead of soup stock, add two
tablespoonfuls of liquid extract of beef
to two quarts of water.
If, you have it handy tablespoonful
of chopped cold chicken may be added
to each quart of soup.

the heavy continuous rams this spring
which have prevented new plowing and
held back seeding, it Is estimated by
good judges that not over one-half the
acreage will be seeded to wheat that
was done last year.

DELEGATES ARRIVING
TO the Democratic State Con-
vention Which Meets
Thursday.
From Wednesdays Daily.

FROM wednesday Odllv
Delegates are beginning to come ir
from various parts Of the state to st'
tend the democratic state CONVENTION
tomorrow. Several prominent men ore
already here and tonight will see the
number greatly increased. The prob
ability Of the convention being withou,
. special light to settle, may deter = good
many delegates from attending. but the
interest y sufficient to warrant fairly
representative body being here, to send
delegates to the Chicago convention and
to put in motion the wheels Of the state
campaign.
Among the early arrivals was J. B
Eaton of Devils Lake, an old timer ol
Ramsey county, who has participated II
q good many conventions, and, repre-
senting large insurance interests, IS vel
qualified to know the temper and feeling
of the people through TIE state on the
leading questions Of the day.
Senator Roach is expected tonight
and will come directly through from
Washington, expressly to be present
1t is said that he desires to be a delegate
TO the national convention, and there is
little question but bis position on the
financial issue will be strongly endorsed
Fred Mclean. the senator's private sec
retary, Is also iu the city.
Among the other arrivals today were
Hon. +. M. Kinter of Bismarck. Andrew
Blewett, and deputy collector Of customs
Hon. NJ. H. Murphy Of Elkwood.
The prospect is that the convention
will declare against the single gold
standard aud favor the free coinage Of
silver az redemption money.
The announcement in the press that
President Cleveland has given up all
hopes Of controlling the national con-
vention, and OF forcing the gold policy
on the party, has already, and will still
further simplify the situation. as far az
the federal office holders. who might de.
sire to carry out the presiGent's wishes
are concerned. This result will leave
many of the leading democrats free to
let the convention have it's own way
without attempting to control or engi'
neer proceedings and will add greatly to
the harmony of the occasion.
ELSEWHERE.
The Walsh county democrats endorsed
the Monroe doctrine Of the president
and the silver men won easily. Among
the delegates are W. O. Leistikow, late
chairman of the state committee and q
leading silver advocate.

Heavy Pav Roll.

At the meeting OF the city council
Monday, at which all aldermen were
prescott, tho petition Of Messrs DePuy,
Wells, Taber, Corwin and Orlsdy, the
board of education aud the trustees Of
the Presbyterian church, asking for the
privilege OF connecting with the Fifth
avenue sewer, was referred to the sew-
erage committee and olty attorney with
power to act These petitioners asked to
put in sewer connection without ex-
psnse to the c,ty 10 any way, running
the line saat up Pacific street, block
and q half, from Fifth avenue. The
plans for sewerage system for the city
do not contemplate such lsterals, but in
stead branch sewer running north up
Fourth svsnue from the residence Of
DR.. Wink and entering the main sewer
on Fifth avenue opposite Spsngler &
Robinson's through the alley. The
question was discussed at considerable
lenth final action, however, being left to
the committee.
The public grounds committee are i'm
powered to take whatever action they
may deem necessary towards the re-
moval of the police station to more
suitable location. There has been quite
q ''kick" on it's removal to Sixth avenue,
back Of the new council rooms. 1t may
be decided to move the cooler to the
east end OF the block on which it is now
situated.
A sidewalk was asked for in front of
the residences of A. NJ. Clough and Jas.
Crum, extending from the west side OF
Sixth avenue to Fifth avenue This
walk will accommodate large number
OF the inhabitants in that part of the
ward when going to church or school.
A committee will look it up. The walk
on Third avenue from the Wisconsin
house to G. L. Judd's residence was
ordered rebuilt or repaired.
The request of M. Conklin and A.
Steel to have certain portion Of the
city on the hill in the vicinity of the
college vacated has led Others to express
an intention to petition similarly An
investigation will be made to see how
general this desire is. It has been sug-
gested, said the city attorney, that If
those people deslrous OF severing their
connection with the city would stand 9
pro rata share OF the bonded indebted
ness the council may deem 1t advisable
to cut down the city's bonded debt.
The judiciary committee is now con-
sidering the matter, more time in which
they shall report having been granted.
The Capt. Dunstan road, like Ban
auo's ghost that would not down, ap-
peared on the scene again. This time,
however, the matter was treated with
more decision than at any time since
May, 81, when damages were first asked.
1t has been held more than once that
the claim was not legal and again the
street and bridge committee we're in
struoted to open the now celebrated

Senator Roach.

Seu8tOr ttO6Cns
The genial senator arrived direct from
Washington having made the long trip
on purpose to be present at the conven-
tion. He was warmly greeted by his old
asquaintances and the 16 to l character
Of the delegates left no doubt as to how
certainly his views on the financial ques-
tion are endorsed by the party.
Speaking to an Alert reporter the SEN
stor the said the growth of the silver
sentiment throughout the entire country
was remarkable. It Is a mistake to
think there is little or none Of it in the
east. 1t has no medium Of public ex.
preston there, owing to the great papers
being controlled IN the gold interests.
The senator is gratlfed at the reallza.
tion Of the prediction he made two years
ago IN his campaign in this state, that
the financial question would be the only
issue this year to be fought out. He was
regarded then as visionary by many, he
said, but time has proved bis judgment
correct. A
Speaking Of the probable presidential
candidate he said no prominent demo-
crat had yet expressed an opinion OF
choice. The feeling was to get the plat.
form and principles firmly fixed first in
the national convention, and good man
would be found to stand upon it after
wards. The st. Louis convention would
in bis opinion adopt the gold standard
it could do nothing else.
The senator is strongly in favor OF
uniting with all parties and forces in
this state for state campaign IN favor
Of the white metal. and bellves that
every effort to effect an honorable union
on this basis should be made. From IN.
dicstions and the tenor of delegates
remarks this feeling was entertained by
every delegate present.
