Chairn,a Jones to Soon announce His
4dcisory Committee.
CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. H.-The an
nouncement of the appointment of an ad-
visory committee of six men outside the
regular Democratic party by Chairman
Jones of the National Committee NAV be
expected this week The Senator said to-
day to reporter for the United Associated
Presses on the subject: II am consider
ing the announcement of an advisory
committee representing organizations
which are working together with the
Democratic party in common cause, but
l shall not give out the names to-day, as 1
contemplated. l propose to have six
members who will representthe Populsts,
exclusively silver men and silver Republl
cans. 1t is desirable that we should have
free consultation and expression of ideas
as to what ought to be done and what
ought not. This committee will facilitate
our work in the campaign"
The chairman's distinguished visitors
to-day were Senator Pettigrew, Senator
Faulkner, chairman OF the Congressional
campaign committee. and /. N. Stevens OF
Colorado, vice-chairman of the central
mmittee of the Silver party. Senator
Pettigrew's mission was to arrange for the

clusion, and this remark was greeted with
applause and laughter.
BRYAN VIII ACCEPT.
So He IL to Be Notified of the Popwlist
Nontf,a ,aGtion.

So He IL to Be Notified or the IopUttst
Nomination.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 27.-The
Evening Star says: The Star can state
positively that Bryan is to be formally
and officially notified of The Populist nomi-
nation made at st. Louis. His running
mate on the Populist ticket, Tom Watson,
will be notified at the same time.
This may sound strange in view of the
statement of Chairman Butler that Wea-
yer and Field were not notified four years
ago, with the inference that went with it
that despite the protests of Populist Bate
man and others Bryan would not be noti-
fed. At no time, however, did Chairman
Butler say in positive words that there
would be no notification. 1t seems from
what was gathered by the Star repre-
sentative that the pressure for the notifi-
cation of the Populist nominees has been
too heavy for those opposed to such a
course to resist, and that the managers of
the Populist campaign have finally come
to tbs conclusion that the notification
must be made.
The time for the notification has not
been fixed upon. but it is probable that
the matter has been decided. There
will be no meeting like that in New York,
but Senator Allen of Nebraska will write
letter to each of the candidates officially
informing them of the nomination. This
course will likely be adopted for several
reasons. One is that it will avoid the call
ing together of the entire notification
committee. Another is that it will pre-
vent number of complications which
might arise from the other and usual
method. The Populists who have been
clamoring for notification to be made,
and among them is Watson himself, will
probably be satisfied when they hear of
the determination that has been reached,
but the objects they have in view in fore
ing the notification may not be realized.
The latter process of notification will be
favorable to Candidate Bryan. Senator
Allen, as chairman of the committee,
would hardly think of fixing limit of
time in which Mr.. Bryan should answer
the notification. This will give the can
didate plenty of time to confer with the
Democratic, Silver and Populist leaders
and to decide upon the course he will
| pursue.
| 1t is believed that Mr.. Bryan has been
sounded on the question and that he has
succumbed to what seems to be the inevita-
| bic. He probably knows now what is
coming and is already cropping his way
along From the present standpoint he
cannot refuse the nomination. He must
! do something about the matter, and the
only thing he can do, and retain the Popu-
list vote, is to accept the nomination.

The Broom Should Hang.

Some of the daintiest ~housekeepers
neglect to enforce the rule that a brush
or broom should never be stood brush
part down on the floor, where the
straws or hair gather dust or damp
ness. Every n OF these articles
should hang from it's own hook, and,
as this is apt to bring the soiled part
against the wall, it is well to stretch
a breadth Of muslin or calico along
the wall from the floor up, so that
even the dashboard is protected from
stain; the muslin, of course. is washed
whenever necessary. AS all brooms
and brushes are not provided with
hangers" a Yankee woman has in
vented a contrivance which can be
fitted to any handle. 1t is a wire loop
with a string attached, and when the
string one grips the handle the loop
is ready for use. The invention costs
but a few cents and is of real value
in hanging troublesome whisk broons,
brushes, umbrellas and the various
impediments which were born to be
hung.-Philadelphia Ledger.

she Was Caution.

Here Is an example of woman as a
diplomatist. Mrs. A. had gone away
from home for a days visit. During
her absence her fellow townswoman,
Mrs. B., decided, after the pleasant,
rural, self-inviting fashion, that she
would spend the night with Mrs. A.
In spite of Mrs. AS absence the thing
was easy to accomplish, for the latch
keys of the two houses were alike.
Mrs. B. therefore effected an entrance
and found the house deserted. "Oh,
well, I'll just wait till Mrs. A.. gets
home" she said to herself. Night
came. Still no Mrs. A. II won't light
a lamp" philosophical Mrs. b., be
cause seeing a light in the house might
scare Mrs. A. clear out of her senses"
So the unexpected guest sat in the
dark awaiting the arrival of her host
ess. At last the rattle of Mrs. AS key
was heard in the door latch. She en-
tered the house and slowly made her
way to the "sitting ROOM" Of course
unconscious that there was another
human being within breathing range.
Don't be Fighter ed, Mrs. A." sud-
denly spoke a voice from the dark
ness. cts only 1, Mrs. B. l didn't
light a lamp for fear you'd be scared,
you know, and" But the diplomatic
Mrs. B. never finished her sentence,
for Just here Mrs. A. fell on the floor
in a dead faint. "It was queer she
should have been SO scared" said Mrs.
B. afterward, "for 1 took every pre-
caution not to frighten her."-New

A Commonplace Life.


The trouble is with you, my dear
girl, that you count little things as Of
no worth. Where we have one great
to make we have a thous-
and little ones, and life, which you are
inclined to call commonplace, is not
so, for every day can be made rich in
beautiful deeds. God, who is just, is
merciful, and when temptation comes
to you, vel if you fail, He remem
bers that you tried to do what was
right, and so is tender in his thought
of you. There is not one of us who
achieves, even for one day, what we
long to. But, my dear, we can always
try for it. We can be ready for the
trouble that is before us and equip
ourselves by prayer and good thoughts
so that we can meet it bravely, and,
possibly, overcome it. Of course, that
is what we wish to do, and yet if we
are not strong enough, if we fall by
the wayside, we must get up and try
again, and keep on trying. That, in
itself, will give us strength. And as
he years go on and youth belongs to
the past, it will always, because of
this trying, be easier to do that which
is right and merit "that peace which
passeth all Observation-Disclosures Ash

l. Roads and Surface Roads.

g, The surface roads in New York City
continue to gain at the expense of the
elevated lines. Last year the surface
: roads gained over 3,000,O 600 in the
number of passengers carried, while
the elevated roads lost 10, 100000; and
the past year the surface lines gained
u, 100000, while the elevated lost 49,
1O0,0O0-the surface roads taking all
of the aggregate increase in traffic and
over 100000 Of passengers besides.
This leads to the conclusion that the
elevated roads must look to long-dis-
lance travel in the city for their main
stay. as the statistics show that for
short distances people prefer to take
a surface car, eve though slower, to
spending time and effort in reaching
and climbing up the stairs of an ele-
waited station and down again. The
public demand for more express trains
on the elevated lines is thus likely to
be needed.

Next Springs Ceremonies Will Cost
over $J,OOO,OOO.
The imperial coronation shortly to
take place in Moscow will doubtless
be one of the grandest state displays
ever witnessed In Europe. Russian
co%ronations are not numerous; an &C.
casion of this kind comes but once in
a lifetime, and the policy of the Rus
sian imperial family has always been
to dazzle the eyes of their subjects by
magnificent court dramas, in which
the car is really a To this end
Russian coronations have been made
as splendid as the resources of the en-
pire could permit. The coronation of
the emperor who has just passed eway
cost Over $4.OOO,0O0; that of his pred
ecessor considerably over $1,000, 900;
but in case a show was provided for
the people of Russia that was wildly
remembered until supplanted in the
popular mind by the splendors of the
next. The coronation is regarded as
much more than the simple act of
placing a bauble on the head of the
first man in the state; it is a series
of gorgeous ceremOnials, and the peo-
pie Of every nation that forms a part
of the greatest empire on the earth
are required. through their representa-
tives, to assist, while the spectacle is
made still nor brilliant by the pres
nee of the ambassadors of every
power on the the globe, and of large
numbers of princes of the reigning

newly crowned monarch.
The preparations for a Russian cor
onation are very elaborate, and com
prise. among other things, the laying
up of great stores of provisions in

cradle city are compelled, on corona
ton occasions, to entertain from 50O,-

to witness the ceremonies. Every
province in the empire sends a depu-

The Bicycle in Future Wars.

Military authorities have come to
the conclusion that the bicycle will
play an indispensable part in the wars
Of the future. Its sphere, at least In
It's early military stages, will be that
Of the uhlan of the 1870 war. The
cyclist, in preliminary operations, will
act as an i~mpenetrable advance cloud
Or screen for the army, pushing far
ahead into the enemy's theater of OPP

before the enemies have a chance to
come together, paralyZing the enemy's
communications, making descents now

often making mistakes. In spite of
this, he will always be able to obtain

What a Mans Tailor Knows.

A well known fashionable Chestnut
street tailor declares, as the result of
many years observation, that but one
man in 100 has square shoulders; that
is, shoulders of an equal height. When
Buffalo Bill, whose magnificent ply
sique has been the admiration of two
hemispheres, was last in this city he
was measured for a suit of clothing in
this sartorial establishment, and when
the many mysterious figures had been
called off, the craftsman cried out to
the clerk: Low left shoulder" Col.
Cody Indignantly exclaimed: whats
that? There's nothing the matter with
my shoulders" And it required con
siderable argument to convince him
that his right shoulder was very con
siderably higher than the left, the eX-
PLANTATION being found in the fact that
in shooting his right shoulder is lifted
much higher than it's fellow. Travel
ing statesmen are noticeably lower in
the right shoulder, by reason of the
fact that they are almost continually
carrying heavy packages with the
right hand. In fact, nearly all men
are lower in the right shoulder, but a
small minority, especially newspaper
writer's and bookkeepers, are lower in
the left shoulder, as a result of the
position which they assume in writing,
the support of the right elbow on the
desk throwing the right shoulder up
ward. This is not visible in many peo-
pie when walking the streets, because
careful merchant tailors remedy the
defect by a little extra padding in the
shoulder which is lowest.-Philadel.
