There can be but one answer to
this question. The people, both Con-
servatives and Reformers, are not dis
posed TO hold the principles of the
Democratic patty responsible for n
misinterpretation or betrayal, III ! may
be allowed TO use SO harsh a word as
that. of the platform OF 1892 by men
who have been expected to carry it
out. The principles are the same and
III the leaders have failed in the dis
charge OF their duties, it is the part of
wisdom to discard them and name
others who will carry out the princi-
pies OF the>party. And besides In this
State a bolt now means ruin to a large
class OF III citizens in view of the fact
that the estimate is made, ever by
Reformers, that the Republicans will
number at least Il 5000 men. | know
positively that hundreds of Retormers
will not bolt, and even If all bolted it
would leave $4,000 Conservatives. who
have always claimed to be the Demo
Gratis, who would reorganize on what
they consider Democratic lines. We
have about $1,000 to 60, 900 Reformers,
a very large estimate. With these

cans would either carry the election or
hold the balance Of power in the State
election and would probably carry the
electoral ticket. | may modestly sug.

smelling corn, as she had been doing
that evening, lifted her ayes to guape

She sat quite still but a slow, sweet
smile came to her llgs and a glad light
into her clear, steadfast ewes.

He was by her side In o few swift

Yes PIT was almost a whisper.
She fell to shellingco corn as If the world
held no other possible occupation for
trembling little hands.
He seated himself boldly on the
slab by her side. He laughed and
filed his hands with corn she had
shelled.

He flung the corn from him, and the

A GODDESS TO BE MARRIED.
Handsome Profile of a School
Teacher ON the Silver Dollar.

The announcement that the Goddess
OF Liberty is about to be married has
aroused new interest in the woman
whose face Is known to more people
than that OF any other woman of the
American continent. Every man, or
woman or child who has a silver dol
lar carries the handsome profile of the
Philadelphia school teacher, Miss
Ann w. Williams. Her classic fea-
lures have been stamped upon millions
of the silver disks.
girl became ~worldtamous. 1t was
then stated that Miss Williams profile
was the original Of the Goddess OF
Liberty on the silver dollar. The
friends OF the young woman placed
every obstacle in the way of possible
identification, but failed ia their object.
The story of how Miss Williams came
to be the Goddess of Liberty may be
retOld, now that il is said she is SCOT
to become a bride.
In the early part of 1876 the Treas.
ury department secured, through COM
municatiOn with the royal mint of Eng
land, the services Of u clever young
designer and engraver named George
Morgan. Upon his arrival in this coun-
try Mr.. Morgan was installed in the
Philadelphia mint and was assigned
the task of making q design for u new
silver dollar. After many months Of
labor the young engraver completed
the design for the reverse side of the
coin, upon which he represented the
American eagle. His attention was
then turned to the other side, and his
original inclination was to place on it
a fanciful head representing the God
dess of Liberty. But the ambitious
| 1ncirnor mo, too ,,,oh ~ ;& a. H.
satisfied with more product of fancy.
Flnaliy he determined tue head should
be the representation OF some Ameri-
"a girl, and forthwith diligently
searched for his beauteous maid.
1t was a long search, although pleas,
ant. He told his friends Of his dc sires,
and m of them spoke of the really
classic beauty Of Miss Annie Williams
The English designer was introduced
to the girl. Mr.. Morgan was a. once
impressed by her beautiful face and
studied it carefully. Then he tod her
what he desired, and she promptly re.
fused to permit herself to be the sub
ject OF the design. Her friends, how.
ever, induced her to pose before ar
artist. After five sittings the design
was completed.
Mr.. Morgan was SO enthusiastic thai
he declared Miss Williams profile was
the most nearly perfect he had seen il
England or America. His design for
the Bland dollar was accepted by Con
gress, and so the silver coins have beer
! pouring from the minis all these years
adorned with the stately face of 6
Quaker City maiden.
Miss Williams is q dccidly modest
young woman. She resides on Spring
Garden street, NOT far from the schoo
in which for years she has been EN-
poyed as an instructor in philosophy
and methods in the Kindergarten de
partment. She is slightly below the
average height, is rather plump ant
is fair. She carries her figure With

A BRACE OF

The following lines are OF American
origin and were written nearly twenty
years ago, but they are started ON q fresh
round through their publication in the
London Times, in answer to a correspond
ent's query:]
Here lies n Door woman who always was
tired,
She lived in a house where help was not
hired.
Her last words on earth were: Dear
friends i am going
To where there's no cooking, nor washing,
nor sewing:
But everything there is exact to nv
For where they don't eat there's no wash.
ing up dishes.
I'll be where loud anthems will always be
ringing.
But having no voice, I'll get quit of the
singing.
Don't mourn for me noW-don't mourn for
me never,
Pm going to do nothing for ever and ever.
The cooking, washing and sewi are
obsolete now, or nearly 80, but won. are
just as tired as ever, and the plant will
have to be revised something like this, per-
haps:
Here lies a poor woman who always was
busy;
She lived under pressure that rendered her
dizzy;
She belonged to ten clubs and read Brown
ing by sight,
Showed at luncheons and teas, and would
vote If she might;
She served on a school board with courage
and zeal,
She golfed and she kodaked and rode on a
wheel.
She read Tolsti and Ibson, knew microbes
by NAME,
Approved of Delsarte, was a Daughter
n Dance
Her children went in for the top educa,
ton,
Her husband went seward for nervous
prostration.
One day on her tablets she found an hour
free,
The shock was too great and she died i'll
stantly.
