honor and integrity of our nation, and that the way to preserve them is to maintain our judicial system and con- tinue an honest financial policy.

early, then by all means let it be a cape. The fashion of capes may change some, but not materially The one great novelty will be the very full Marie Louise cape, made on the red riding hood plan, full on the collar and hanging we'll below the knees. This sort of thing with it's great soft hood will adapt itself chiefly to opera cloaks and ball gown coverings The street cape will be no longer than to the hips, or for the more stylish and less cosy garment, to the elbow. It will be close about the shoulders, wide at the hem and will set out over the arm.
 Even if you have money in hand for the purpose of a cape, it will be better to delay the fur and choose one of the ornamental affairs that add so much to the beauty of a costume and that will serve nicely till severe weather Is near CT, A very pretty one of this sort is shown here. Of course there is no warmth in it, but it is as dressy as can be. It is made of black accordeon pleated chiffon and trimmed with shoulder pieces and strips in back and front of heavily jetted guipure laid over corn-colored satin. 4 collar of chiffon with e buckle in the center completes It.
 As a result of the wholesale cutting into sleeves the fur dealers will be out with all sorts of garments of the dol- man style. These have little warmth, but they are graceful and pretty. Then there will be many jacket af- fairs, with the sleeves cut out, and the material of the sleeves converted into tabs and shoulder pieces.

A MUTUAL UNDERsrANp1NG.

A MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING.
 Never, never let me hear of your riding a bicycle" said Gopher as he sat at the dinner table and addressed his pretty wife. T do not approve of it. I would not permit Annie to ride one and she is only eight. I could give you conclusive reasons for my position in this matter, but am confident that a mere statement of my wishes will in- sure your compliance with them" Then Gopher took the long breath prompted by satisfied appetite and Ms. Gopher deftly switched the con- versation.
 Within week she was limping about the house In an odor of arnica and he was complaining of rheumatism that greatly interfered with his usual activ- ity. One afternoon Gopher dropped into the gallery of the armory where a bicycle firm had it's training school, and quickly attempted a disguise when he saw his wife careening all over the place with one of the instructors strug- gling gallantly to keep within her i'm mediate vicinity. But just as Gopher had turned up his collar and pulled his hat over his eyes, Mrs. Gopher took a dull-thud sprawl all over one end of the hall and had a spirited rough and tumble before she could get from under the offending wheel. As she went home on the street car with smarting abrasions, blue bruises and sore mus cles, she saw Gopher scurry by on bi- cycle.
 That evening she talked significantly about his rheumatism; wondered if it wasn't due to sudden climatic changes, and took inward satisfaction in urging him to call a doctor. He grimly con- doned with her for getting stiff and awkward at so early an age and won- dered if it would not be the wisest thing for her to try the Hot Springs for a few weeks He felt the pleasure, of knowing her secret without being sus- pected himself and she was enjoying the same pleasant delusion.
 One moonlight evening Gopher 'went to the club" It was a golden as well as an inviting opportunity, and Mrs. Gopher was soon skimming over the pavements on rented wheel. As she gracefully swung around a corner at top speed there was a head-on colli- sion Two silent steeds reared and plunged Two riders mingled momen- tarily in aerial acrobatic feats and sat down side by side on the asphalt. Before they helped each other up Mr. and Mrs. Gopher came to a perfectly amicable understanding on the bicycle question: Free Press.

THE REpUBn1oAN STATE TICKET

THE REPUBEICAN STATE TICKET.
 The Republican State convention did long days work yesterday and good one. It was inspired by uncommon en- thusiasm, and though free speech and free action were conspicuous harmony did not suffer. Nobodys rights were trampled on and there was general good will even between those who felt obliged to oppose each other. The re- suit left all united in party loyalty and patriotic purpose.
 The ticket nominated is not sur prise. The free and general expression of opinion which preceded the con- vention had made it reasonably cer- tain that those who were chosen would be chosen. There has been a strong and unmistakable drift toward MT. Cooke ever since his candidacy was first announced. Everything has been in his favor Able, upright, discreet and popular, his qualifications for the high office for which he has been nomi- mated have been undisputed. His own course during the long and sometimes trying talk about candidates has been truly dignffied. His supporters have advocated their cause with good sense and good temper. The result is a good thing for the State. MT. Cooke has &C., quilted himself honestly, honorably and efficiently in all his long connection with public affairs, and his next step l He will break the record by going from the lieutenant -governorship to the gov- ernor's chair, and 1t is more than prob | able that he will break the record in the size of the majority by which he goes.
 New Haven has special reason for | being pleased with the ticket and it's special pleasure will be shown on elec- ton day. It is now a Republican city, | and though this doesn't seem to be a year when extra votes are as badly needed as they have been in some years, there is no doubt that the vote in New Haven for the Republican tick | ct will be enlarged on MT. DewelPs ac- count And he will add strength to the ticket all over the State His long bus mess career and his conspicuous con nection with public affairs have made him we'll known throughout the State, and wherever he is known he is respect ed and trusted. No better or stronger selection could have been made for the second place on the ticket.
 The rest of the ticket is all that could l be desired. Messrs. Phelps, Grosvenor and Mead are all solid, substantial cit- izens, men who have been tried and not found wanting. The voters of Connec- ticut have not often had placed before 1 them ticket of such high and even
 quality. It is a good specimen of what
 Republicans can do and ought to do.
 It will have an abundant entrance into
 honor and glory.

FASHION NOTES.
Be Wary in Buying Furs.


 There is every symptom of an early rush to furs. There is something about the lace and frills of summer that makes the mind consider how becom- ing furs are. She, however, is the wise one who does not purchase early in the season. The matter of sleeves be- comes a serious one when we consider the cutting of them in expensive fur. There Is every reason to hope that the big sleeves of last years seal skin may be cut down, the extra fur going into a new edge for the collar and into new cuffs. This will reduce the annual ex- pense for repairing and remodeling Of ones fur very much. If you must buy

THE PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the Repub- lican State convention has the very great merit of being brief. It doesn't spread all over creation and half of Hamden. But there is much in it. It doesn't waste words in saying that the question of supreme importance at present is the preservation of the life,

A circular letter to railroad men, is- sued by President Ives of the Burling- ton, Cedar Rapids and Northern rail- road, contains this paragraph: If MT. Bryan Is our next president, the money of the country will be silver, or silver notes on a silver basis. This railway company has to pay the interest on it's bonds in gold, $S11,o00, and if it has to pay a premium to get it, and thereby the interest account is increased, there will be no way to meet it except by re- ducing expenses, and while the pay must not be reduced, the number of men employed must be reduced.

Governor Atkinson, of Georgia, gave notice in one of his recent speeches that it was his purpose to permit the law to take it's course in capital cases, unless such course would be an injus- tice to the condemned. In other words, that Influence" would not save the neck of a criminal sentenced to death, and that cases brought before him would be considered strictly on their merits. It is the governors belief that if the sentences of the courts were car ried out promptly, and persons inclined to lawIessness were fully assured there would be no prospect of executive elem ency, there would be a decrease in crime.

An Englishman has just been robbed by an ingenious trick in a Paris cafe. He entered into conversation with @ well-dressed stranger who began play ing with the lever of a seltzer water siphon on the table. Suddenly he turn ed the stream on the Englishnan's S shirt front, jumped up apologizing pro- fusely and wiping off the water with his handkerchief. Then he left the cafe, and the Englishman found that his pocketbook with $500 in bank notes had gone with the stranger.

Washington, d. c.. August 23.-The

signed and that his resignation has been

circles here to-day.
Mr.. Smiths personal relations with
the President have not been disturbed.
The resignation grew out Of differences
on the question of party policy and his
delicate desire not to embarrass the
President at such a time. Beyond the
question of his conception of party 10y

majority. Mr.. Smith, during his cam

yfntion. As an honorable man, he felt
bound TO redeem tha5 pledge. He in
