Candidates for Him.
FUSION PLANS DON'T CARRY
Populist Chairman Denies That the
Alleged Demands of Certain Mem
bers of the Party, That u Straight
Ticket BE Named, Will Be Acceded
TO--Watson's Strength.

II Senator Butler !be considered an au-
thoritative member of the Iopulist party
Bryan and Watson viii continue to stand as
the Populis st national ticket until the
day OF election.
Senator Butler said SO today, and he
said il with emphasis.
The declaration was precipitated in Ian
Senator could make it and was Occasioned
by an inquiry regarding numerous rumors
which have been circulated through the
press during the last few days.
Senator Butler was asked If it was true
that the Populists might kick over the
traces, under the proyocation OF the Demo-
cratic refusal to Lott Sewall His answer
was as stated above. and some more.
He said he did not care what the result
was in Maine. II scwan had prospects OF
securing no more than single vote, it
would not make him think less OF sewall
as u candidate, from tEat fact alone.
THE supreme question in considering the
vice-Prcsidential question: said Senator
Butler, is not will he carry this or that
State. where Bryan has no chance. sup
pose he could certainly carry New Hamp-
shire. for instance, by a thousand votes.
That would not cut ice The strong candi-
date is the one who is strong where
Bryan is strong"
1T Is WATSON.
That man, Senator Butler declared, is
Watson He is overwhelmingly favored by
the mass OF voters in the South and West,
the Senator believes He is tie candidate
OF the PopuIsts. and will be given their un-
'wavering support.
Speaking farther with regard to Bryan,
Senator Butler said:
I'VE should as soon think OF dropping
Watson as OF dropping Bryan. Both are
our candidates, and no action can possibly
change our attitude" '
Mr. Butler is evidently. and, II would
seem, in the light OF these remarks, ayow-
edly. determined 10 rel jeCt all pr opositiOrS
OF Democratic fusion everywhere which
ignore the candidacy of Watson-
1t is an open secret that the Telations
between the Democrats and Puprlists as
represented in the rambling old building
at the corner OF II und Fifteenth streets
are n very strained kind when it comes TO
talks OF fconIpromisein IN various states where
the p1rties would fuse were 1t not Cor
Sewall, and were 1T not for Watson. The
Democrats poorly conceal their impatience
with the insistence OF the Pepulists on Wat
sons candidacy. Altogether Z is probab-
BILE that Denio-P opulistic harmony wds
never further from realization on than It'll s to-
day.

that it was small lamp that burned

Philadelphia has opened twelve pub.
lie school.yards as Fairgrounds for
children in the more densely populated
parts of the city, announces the New
York Post. At each of them is con-
Quoted morning kindergarten, under
the direction of public school teach
ers, and, in addition, each playground
is supplied with toys and games for
the amusement of the younger as well
as the older boys and girls. A sand
heap, with spades and buckets, is
placed in each ysrl, and tents or avn
ings are fitted up in those yards not
having sufficient shade to protect the
children from the sun. The cost OF
fitting each yard with the articles
needed for the games was about $15.
There are seats for mothers bringing
their babies, and chairs and tables for
the kindergartens. The janitors, with
authority increased by appointment
as special policemen, have the care
of the toys and games and exercise a
general superintendent over the
children. Like provision was made
for the children last summer and with
very satisfactory results.

No living public man of Asia has
been SO much the subject OF discus.

Much of the criticism has been unfav-
orable, and his critics arc often nnfair.
1t is hardly just to him to estimate his
character and attainments according
to the standard OF, Western Nations.
His education is exclusively Oriental,
and his entire life has been spent in
China. His knowledge OF our civlli-
zation is such as could be acquired in
the motley society of treaty port. AS
statesman he has had to deal with a
very conservative and bigoted constit-
uency, and with associates prejudiced
against and ignorant of foreign Ma
tiops Judged in the light of his edu-
cat. his experience and his sur
roundinga, he must be regarded as the
first of living statesmen OF Asia, and
one of the most distinguished OF the

Chickasaws and Seminoles, in the In
dian Territory, once SO warlike and
fierce, having intermarried with
whites and the colored people and
adopted others into their tribes, have
almost entirely lost their identity, and
are now progressive people.
The Sioux, Co1nanches, Apaches,
Navaios, Kiowas, Bannocks and 9th.
ers are on reservations, and, even if
disposed to belligerency, are SO sur
rounded by white settlements that a
wsr would be of short duration.
The Pacific coast fish eaters and
root diggers are peaceable, prcgres-
sive and almost entirely self-support-

The reservation Indians, 133, AIT in
number, according to the census of
1890, are located in twenty States and
Territories and form about lat tribes
or parts of tribes, occupying about
rs, 500, 900 acres of allotted land, but
much of the area OF these reservations
is DESERT
The present policy of the Govern
ment, the eighth which has been tried
upon the Indian since 1889, is known
as an educational and allotment one
and to the education of all Indian
children at the expense of the Nation
is chiefly due the existing condition

extravaganza originated in gay Paris,
where the jewellers are falling over one
another IN their attempts to lind some
new use to which to put gems.
There are now on the market as
unique result of this attempt to find
or devise something new, gloves In the
backs of which are set precious stones,
diamonds, rubies, pearls and emer-
aids, and in fact any gem. whose nat
ural color harmonizss or makes
pleasing contrast to the color OF the
glove. Diamonds seem to be the ia
7orite gems used for this purpose.
The jewels are set in the back OF the
glove along the seam and are held IN
place by means of small nut attach
ment. Thus far only few OF the
more advanced women OF the ultra
fashionable set have taken to wearing
the diamond ornamented gloves, but
the fad is slowly but surely spreading,
and no man can tell to what extent 1t
may be carried.
The wearing of gems according to
jewellers has never been so widespread
and extensive as at the present time.
While year or two ago it was con-
sidered bad form to wear any but the
plainest jewels, the other extreme will
soon be reached, and jewels will be
worn in ways never before thought Of.
Like every other fashion which

Some girls have as many as ten sets
of collars and belts for their gowns,
and as each set requires two yards and
three-quarters of ribbon from four to
six inches wide, costing from thirty to
seventy-five cents a yard, it is an easy
matter to put $40 in these becoming
trifes as light as air, but stylish and
becoming withsl.
Points or square tabs of lace, in
twos or fours, hang over the tops OF
collars; then plated ruch of lace,
tulle, etc., finishes the inside edge OF
many collars, and al OF this is climaxsd
