ST. LOUIS. June lS.-The fact that Sena-

minister's lips that he was praying.
Then the first opportunity for delegates
to use their voices fresh after a nights
rest was afforded when Chairman Thurs
ton, without any prelimnaries, plunged
into business by announcing that the first
thing on the program was the report of
the committee on resolutions.
Senator-elect Joseph b. Foraker of Ohio
crowded 20 the front and climbed the steps
to the stage, while the crowds sent up
shrill yell. The platform, which he be-
gan to read was with q few immaterial
amendments in its verbiage the one tele-
graphed throughout the country by the
Associated Press Tuesday night.
Senator Foraker adjusted pair Of spec
tacles upon his soldierly face and furnish
ed for a moment the same dumb show of
man talking which the colored minister
had given. until cries of Louder and
Order from the galleries impeIled him
to a stronger vocal effort. There was no
opportunity in reading the platform for
the strenuous fiery oratory with which
the Ohio man has often stirred the con-

The platform was as follows:

The Enlarged Waist.

Now that woman's s waist in France is to be enlarged through the last de- mand of fashion, there are good grounds fer believing that the salutary effects of such a change will be found to a great CT extent outside the country in which the style has originated than in it. Frenchwomen rarely lace tightly, and one of the objections that American women make to tho work of the French dressmakers is that their garments are never made to fit closely enough. It has been the style for several years ill Paris for women 10 wear clothes that fit the figure only with comparative eIoseness, and this made extremely tight lacing unnecessary.
 On the other hand, the women of Ger many and Austria lace themselves into such condition of rigidity that Ameri- cans wonder how life is maintained m 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 q good ngufe have been 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 as highly important to womanly beauty, but it i' not when viewed from the front tha the result is most admired The stay are drawn with the idea of producing { curve. not on the sides, but i'll front and the small waist is most highly re garded when it's narrowness is fore anC aft and not lateral. This is a nationa eecentricity of taste hard to appreciate
 In England there are said to be twt classes of women, one composed of those who scornfully abandon stays and tht other of those who use them to the com plete loss of every other idea than thu

When all has been said and done when the new woman has becone an established parsonage among us, ana has advanced in years as well as m WIS 5on and honor, there will still be one thing for the world to regret and slgn Fo,.'-vve shall have no more fat old la dies, bless lem .-a
 For of course the new woman, tralnea from her youth in the most approved and effective methods of physical cul- tnre. with all her superior knowledge of how to control bodily conditions, to nnt off flesh and take it on at will, will nover even in her old age, commit the error of growing stout So that, when fbe nresent generation of old ladies, our Tnistaken-some might say misshapen -aunts and grandmothers, are lad 10 rest there will be nobody left to fill their wide armohairs by the fireside (tne new prandmothers will probably be in inc gvmnasium), and the world VIII Lnoy a want which no superiority oH tbe new woman can satisfy.

For street wear and with tailor dresses surely the mohair Is the betser selection. Made with umbrella fullness and finished with a full ruffle edged with rows of velvet of shade little darker than the stuff itself, or with a contrasting black, the general effect IS almost as pretty as silk, and since mo hair will wash and does not fray like silk the former petticoat will hold it's prettiness. Billiard green, silver gray, striped aud dresden effects, black, white, blue aud pink will all be offered.

WATSON $ TREASON

As the campaign progresses new developments are made which cast effulgent rays of light upon the dark shadows that enshroud the campaign, and as days come aud go and the shadows fade away, we are enabled to see more clearly where we are at, politically.
 One of the latest deyelopments and exposures of the campaign is that of Tom Watson, of Georgia, Populist nominee for Vice President of the United States with Wm. j.. Bryan, the dual candidate of the Democrats and Populists for Presi- dent, is in the paid employ of the gold-bug press of the East, and at a price of $l50 to $250 for each article, is bitterly assailing through the Eastern press, Mr. Arthur Sewall, the Democratic nominee for Vice President, and incidentally and in directly Chairman Jones, of the National Democratic Committee, and Mir. Bryan, the standard bearer of Democracy,
 This is the same Watson in whose interests the Democratic State Gen. tral Committee of Arkansas has withdrawn three of the Democratic Presidential electors nominated by the late State I emocratic conven- tion and substituted three Popnlists electors therefor.
 Evidences of Watson s treason are ample and direct. For sometime severe strietures on MT. Arthur Sewall, Democratic nominee for Vice President, have appeared in the New York World, an opponent of Bryan and Sewall, over MT. Wat sons signature. 1t has now de. veloped that MT. Watson is on the regular pay-rolls of this gold-stand- ard newspaper as an occasional contributor, the price set upon his articles. fixed by MT. Watson him self, ranging from $l50 to $250 for each contribution. In this manner, fer his denunciation of the Demo cratic standard bearers in the oppo- sition press, Mr. Watson has added $1,500 to his private bank account during the campaign.
 And this is the man Democrats of Arkansas are asked to vote for for President to the extent of a loss of three electoral votes for Arthur E. Sewall, the Democratic nominee, thereby making probable the election of Watson or Hobart to that exalted position, and in the event of the death of MT. Bryan, to succeed to the Presidency.
 MT. Watsoa's continued candida cy bodes no good to Democracy or the cause of free silver, and his res ignation should be demanded He is in the employ of the gold bug press, and is lending assistance and encouragement to the enemy
 He is not only endangering the success of MT. Bryan and the cause of silver, but is guilty of political treason, and if the Populists are sin cere in their pretensions for Mir. Bryan and silver, they should un- hesitatingly repudiate this so-called candidate for Vice President
