CHICAGO, July 4.-Horace Boies of
Iowa, candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the presidency, has ar
rived and is at the Palmer House where
the Boies headquarters are located. His
coming at this time attracted much in
terest. as he is the first of the promi.
net candidates to take an active part
in the contest. The ex-governor was
ment at the train by delegation of his
Iowa friends, but beyond this there was
no demonstration. He did not go to
the hotel register, but one of his friends
registered the governors name in bold
hand, which was thereafter scanned
with interest as indicative of tho rugged
character of the candidate He was as
signed to a room on the third floor, far
from the confusion of the corridors and
from the Boies headquarters, and here
he received the long line Of callers
which soon centered at his door. An

Talked With Freedom.
Shortly after his arrival the governor
received at his room representative of
the Associated Press and talked with
freedom on the situation. He did not
wish to discuss his personal prospects or
to be put in the embarrassing position
of urging his own availability. He
said he had come here to get acquainted
with his friends from various parts OF
the country. He would not make a
protracted stay, he said, but after
spending the day here, would return to
his home. When asked as to the silver
question as an element in the present
contest. Governor Boies said:

A Testy Organist.

In his "reminiscences of an organists life in the Royal chapel at Windsor, Sir George J. Elvey tells an interesting sto- " of Wesley's bad manners and subse- auent apology. MT Tuckerman, an American, had come to England to study cathedral music. His plan was to visit the organist of each cathedral in turn, observe for two or three months his style of playinga and make notes on the character of the music. In course of time MT. Tuckerman asked Sir George, with whom he had formed a friendship for letter of introduction to Dr. Wesley. Elvey had defeated Wesley in competition for the Gresham gold medal, given for the best anthem, and also for the position of organist of St Georges chapel. Wesley had never forgotten these defeats, and his feelings towards his successful rival were far from friendly.
 However, Sir George wrote him let ter introducing Tuckerman, armed with which the American student presented himself at Wesley's door, and was ush- cred into the drawing-room. On Wes- ley's appearance Tuckerman stated the purpose of his visit and handed him FL vey's letter. He tore open the epistle, read it and threw it into the fire, ex- claiming, "Elvey! Who is Elvey?" Then he rang the bell violently, and a man-servent rushed in. "John," said the master loudly, "this man is an inn postor! Show him the door," The door was shown to the angry American, who, making his way back to Windsor, reported to Sir George the reception he had met with from the Winchester or ganist. Sir George made the best ex- cuse he could, and the unpleasant sub- ject was allowed to drop.
 But fortnight later there was an- other exhibition of Wesley's eccentrici- ty. A telegram was put into Elvey's hand which ran thus: "Send down your friend Tuckernan. I have put The Wilderness for him to hear to- morrow What shall I do?" asked Tuckerman when Elvey put the tele- gram in his hands. T don't like to urge you, but, if you will take my advice, you will go." Fuckerman went. Wes- ley received him courteously, gave him room in his own house, and after din- ner took him to the cathedral, where for two hours he played the organ in his best manner. On Sunday morning Wesley in E'' was the service; at even- song the anthem was 'The Wilder ness, played as Wesley alone could play it. When Tuckerman returned to Windsor on Monday he said he had thoroughly enjoyed his visit.
 .'The Wilderness" was the anthem Wesley had sent in for the Gresham prize when Elvey gained it. The an them was returned to him scored all over by the examiners, and he had it

The big fighters are not yet in jail or in their graves, but 1t is announced in telegram from Fl Paso that the big fight is Gin statu quo" until Monday. "In statu quo' is good and perfectly consistent with the fine language used by the prize fighters of the day. It is further announced that the sand in Maher's eyes is giving him great deal of trouble. Nothing is said about the is sand enough around Fl Paso for all concerned and the authorities seem to have their share. If the announcement that the big fight is 'in statu quo" is true and if 1t stays "in statu quo" until Monday it is probable that it will not be pulled off, at least not in the part of the world where it is now said to be

Paris Matrimonial Agencies.

MT. Albert Vandam gives an inter- esting description of a Parisian mar riage agency.

shauld have the new swathed sash eff ect. That is the waist is apparently bound about with a sash that passes several times around the body. It ties in the back, and handsome bow drawn down 50 that it holds little below the waist line, is in the back, with q pair of long streamer ends afloat to the skirt hem. In front the sash is drawn down, too, at the waist line so that the cutoff effect of the round sash bodice is avoid ed. Sometimes little panel hip pieces appear below the sash, stimulating the sashedsin coat effect that is one of the new fancies. What with the swathing line about the waist, the black and the long sash ends, combined with the many stripes of the skirt, the average woman gains about two inches in height, be- sides the half inch she feels from know ing that she is just right"
 In the 5cos tune of to-day's picture the stiffened skirt of brocaded silk. which shows pale blue, gold and pale yellow, is topped by an ornate jacket bodice of black satin. Its narrow vest is of the skirt stuff, but the wide revers, turned back cuffs and collar are of black eatin The basque is shorter at the back than at the sides, and for trimming there are a fluffy jabot of lace, frills to match at the wrists and jewelled buttons. The woman whose eye is ever turned toward economy should remember that the bro caded skirt is a certainty, and should fight shy of the black satin skirt unless it is a tremendous bargain. Figured silks are to be used, too, and this same woman should rejoice over the fact, for she knows that there is more wear in figured silks than in plain ones.

 4 PLATFORM AND 4 RATTLE CRY.
 At the Lincoln dinner in Chicago Wednesday, evening ex-Governor Nc Kinley took occasion to give his ideas of what constitutes Republicanism in this presidential year" No one, he said, need be in any doubt about what the Republican party stands for. Its own history makes that too palpable and clear to admit of doubt It stands for a reunited and recreated nation, based upon free and honest elections in every township, county, city, district and State in this great American Union. It stands for the American fireside, and the flag of the nation. It stands for the American farm, the American factory and the prosperity of all the American people. It stands for a, reciprocity that reciprocates and which does not yield up to another country single days labor that belongs to the American workingman. It stands for interna- tional agreements which get as much as they give, upon terms of mutual ad- vantage. It stands for an exchange of our surplus home products for such foreign products as we consume but do not produce. It stands for the reciprocity of Blaine, for the reel procity of Harrison; for the restoration and extension of the principle embodied in the reciprocity provision of the Re publican tariff Of 1890 It stands for the Monroe doctrine as Monroe himself proclaimed it, about which there is no division whatever among the American people. It stands for a currency of gold. silver and paper with which 10 measure our exchanges that shall be as sound as the government, and as un- tarnished as its honor The Republican party would as soon think of lowering

----------------------- -.~----------,----- SE1 W4TE E FOB LONDON.

Why some cities have not made use of handy sea-water for certain purposes is one of the things which have seemed strange. It is interesting to notice that there is plan to supply the great city of London with sea-water The water would be taken from the sea at Lan- cing, between Brighton and Worthing, a spot remarkably free from pollution. It would be pumped into a reservoir of 10,O00,000 gallons. Thence it would be forced to another reservoir near the top of Steyning Round Hill. The pumps and machinery would all be alongside the first reservoir, and this would be the only pumping in the whole system. From Steyning the water would flow by gravitation to London by way of Horshan, Leatherhead, Epson, Wimbledon, Clapham and Battersed. For municipal purposes it is claimed that once watering with sea-water is equal to twice, or even thrice, watering with fresh water It prevents decompo- sition of street refuse, and it's cost would be less than that of fresh water For flushing sewers 1t has been found very effective, and it would be availa- ble for use in distinguishing fires. Of it's value to health there is little doubt, and it would tbe easy to supply it to hospi- tals and to schools for swimming baths. The present consumption of water in London is 0o,0OO, 900 gallons day, of which 40,000,00O gallons is used for mu- nicipal purposes, and this might be saw ed for domestic purposes by the intro duction of sea-water. The cost of the project is estimated at 450,00O, and the sea-water would be supplied by meter for public purposes at a fraction of the present cost of fresh water. The con- struction of the works could be con- pleted in about two years.
 This looks feasible enough. And it is rather surprising that nobody has thought of it before.

One day a gentleman finding him at work tearing up some cobble- stones from the street, and desiring to hear one of his witty replies, asked him what he was doing. Sam replied

A Skirt That's n Boon to pumpy Folk

A Skirt That's Boon to Dumpy Folk.
 One type of costume that s victori- ously defiant of the long fashionable black skirt and fancy waist consists of a brilliant striped brocade skirt and black bodice. Once a woman gets her self into that sort of a rig she wonders why in the world she didn't do it before. Instead of cutting the figure in two as the other contrast effect of skirt and bodice did everything seems to tend to giving height and slenderness to the figure. The skirt must be gaily striped and made of so many brea6ths that the stripes extend wheel-like from waist to hem with many bewildering triangles at each seam. The bodice is black silk, satin, velvet or chiffon, or all combined, but it ought to be all black, and it

The academic education of women in Germany has made such progress that 1t is now proposed to set aside one important university for their chief if not exclusive use.
