ST. Louis, June 1.-THE Colorado

decided in positive terms to leave the

of the platform containing a declaration
for gold standard. 1t has been fire.
quently announced that they would pur-
sue this course, but there has really
been more or less doubt up to tonight
that they would, one or two members of
the delegation being in doubt as TO the
wisdom of the course. Senator Teller
was present and told the other members
of the delegation that he appreciated to
the utmost the gravity of the step, and
that Notwithstanding their instructions
to be governed by his opinion, he felt
that the occasion was one in which
every man should be guided largely by
his own opinion.
The decision to go out of the conven-
ton was unanimous.
The Idaho delegation as body, ma
jority of the Utah and Nevada delega-
tiens, and a part of the Montana and
North Carolina delegations will go out

would 90 out of the convention with
Teller. They did state, however, to the
members of the committee afterward
they would all stand by Teller, and if
defeate in the convention would de-
clare themselves out of the party and do
the best they could for their people
hereafter
Members of the committee who came
out Of the rooms said they neve wit
messed such touching scenes in politics.
Some Of the silver men shed tears while
speaking. Senator Cannon wept, cry
ing aloud as ne pleaded for Utah No
funeral could be so sad to him. They
loved the party that was about to smite
them and cast them out
Senator Dubois was most vehement
in mis- utterances as to the result He
showed no emotion, but was firmly de-
fant.
After the Teller amendment was de-
feated by vote of 10 to Al, the fnan-
cial plank of the majority was taken up
and the discussion resumed, the gold
men having the floor The silver mem
bers said they would proceed as cour-
teously and regularly as possible, and
not leave the party until they had ap-
pealed to the court of las resort. They
justified their course by saying the party
had left them, and they were no leav-
ing the principles of the party. They
said Secretary Carlisle, representing the
Cleveland administration, in his Nash
Vile speech was the first to come out
for single gold standard. The re-
publican party had come to the demo-
cratic administration in its new depart
ure. Cannon and Dubois severely
criticised the inconsistency of the in
Gictment against President Cleveland
while adopting the cardinal principles
of Cleveland's administration.
Dubois dwelt especially upon the SER
vice the west had been to the republican
party, showing that that section never
in the hour of the party's need had been
found untrue to the party call. He
dwelt especially upon the strength of
the west in the senate and showed that
to the votes of that section in the senate
the republican party owed the main.e-
nance of its protective policy and all
other policies, often, when their own
sectional interests were not involved
He asserted the intermountain state
had been regular in supplying support
for these lines of policy, while New
York, with not one republican senator,
and Illinois with only one, and the
states with almost none, and
Indiana, Wisconsin and olher northern

magical. They believed that there was
a spirit of good or of evil in the amber,
and that heat melted that spirit to man

sion was that it was a spirit of affec

HISTORY OF CARRIAGES.

Especial New York letter.

lSpeCldl NEW 1OTh LetbeT.l
The carrige, vehicle familiar to the
street gamin of to-day, has history
which reaches way back into the mazes
of antiquity. Its first form was very
primitive, and the products of the car
riage builders of the various ancient
nations were in so far all alike that the
box always rested directly on the axles.
Wagons are first spoken of in the Bible
and many ancient traditions and docu-
ments speak about war chariots and
triumphal carriages used by the an
clients.
The first carriage used by private
persons was introduced in Rome about
$50 years after its foundation. 1t was
called the "pileutum," anil was granted
by the senate to the Roman ladies who
had sacrificed their jewels in the in-
terest of the republic. The privilege
was rarely used, however, and up to the
time of Augustus, the Roman ladies
employed sort of Sedan chair exclu-
sively on their travels and excursions.
The wagon of the Romans was called
the "Carpentum," and consisted Of an
arched box resting on two wheels and
drawn by one or two mules. The car
pentum was often richly decorated. At
later period the patrician Romans

riages was prohibited in Amsterdam,
"to save the costly pavement" as the
edict said.
The carriage in which the wife of
Charles Of Anjou accompanied her hus-
band in his entry into Naples must have
been a real gem. An old historiaG says:
"She rode in caretta upholstered with
blue velvet, embroidered with golden
fleur-de-lis, the like of which Neapoli-
tans had never seen before. This luxury
spread from Naples over all ITALY," 1t
cannot be ascertained whether the ex-
tended use of carriages spread from
Italy or not, but no nation is as en-
thusiastic about carriages as the Ital-
ians and especially the Neapolitans, may
the vehicles be ever SO primitive. No
where can be seen more stylish car
riages than in Palermo. But it is said
that these elegant carriages which
cause so much admiration on the corso
are often owned Ey several parties, who
exercise the strictest system of econ
omy in their household to be able to in
dulge in the luxury of an elegant turn
occupants of these carriages, ladies ard
children, always peak out from closed
windows and drawn curtains.
This fact reminds one of the sweet
waters the favorite place for carriage
riding with the Turkish ladies of Con-
stantinople. 1t is peculiar that the
aristocratic ladies of the harem use an
OK cart of the most primitive construc-
ton. The box rests directly on the
aXels and the wheels are simple wooden
disks. Curtains protect the occupants
against inquisitive chances and the slow
gait of the animals, as we'll as number
of black attendants who surround the
carriage, prevent any possibility of
mishap.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

1t is not so hard to do right when the
mind is fully made up to do it.-Ram's
Horn.
Remember that to change thy opinion
and to follow him who corrects thy
error is as consistent with freedom as
it is to persist in thy error.-Marcus
Aurelius Antoninus.
81 follow on" said Paul, not to attain
greater power, but "to know the Lord"
To know God is the supreme desire, and
in the knowledge of Him the soul is
satisfied.-United Presbyterian.
Position and circumstances are moth
ing without an inner strength to control
them. The things that swayed Absa-
lom were but light winds. Moral prin-
ciples are strong as gravitation and per-
manent as the government of Cod
S. S. Times.
The whole of life is a trial, and the
trial increases as it nears the end, lust
as it was in the case of Christ. The
present life and this age are incom-
plete and unsatisfactory without the
next life and the glorified state that
comes with it.-Rev. +. L. Chapel.

LOVE, A GREAT IDEA.
II Is the Motive Behind the Conscience,
the Character and the Win.

II Is the Motive Behind the Conscience,
the Character and the Will
Love is of God, and everyone that loveth
is Of God and knoweth God.-1 John Al.
The Christian Scriptures deal in great
subjects-great in their very nature;
great in their trend; great in their OBJ
.ject; great in their influence over hui
man conscience and human will; great
in the things they build into human
character; great in the kind of char
acter they produce. Every man has a
conscience and he never gets away
from it. He may abuse it; he may
harm it; but there is crisis in every
mans life, and in that crisis his con-
science comes to the front. Every man,
too, has destiny.
Ideas are like karats of gold. It re-
quires "a karats to make dollar. A
man might have IS karats of pure gold
and six of alloy and it wouldn't serve
him. What the karats are to the man
financially, ideas are to him mentally
and spiritually. We live our best, not
in flesh and blood, but in ideas. The
service of a man to his race is meas
ured by his ideas. The strength of
man in the contest of life depends on
the store of his ideas. There is no COM
plete idea of life which leaves out of the
conscience the character and the will,
the love of God.-Homiletic Review.

The idea of renting out carriages and
horses originated with Frenchman in
Paris, Nicholas Savage. in 1850, and
since his house bore the name Hotel

iy called ''fiacres." Savage soon found
imitators and improvers, and only few

No room for mystery!

How thought can fly from me to you,
How star-ray speaks in giobing dew,
How seasons In sweet concourse fall
SCOTS all this mystery!
And, for my part, the world Is AN

How forms the green Of grass or jade,
How skies from blue to violet fade,
And dawn-lightsr rise from flush to flame

How seeds IN sleep unsummoned wake
How winds arise and sink to peace

The llnightly costumes of the middle
ages and the wretched condition of the
roads intcrfered seriously with the use
OF garages at that period and the noble
ladies generally travelled on horseback
like their lords. Men and women fos-
tered the noble sport of horseback rid
ing; only monks and women using
donkeys as matter of greater comfort.
AS late as the beginning of the sixteenth
century the aldermen in the cities went
to council meetings on horseback.
When covered coaches made their APP

of the sixteenth century, they were used
only by the noblest ladies, men disdan-

The first carriage with suspended box
which is mentioned in medieval history
served Queen Isabella at her official en-

later the ENJOYS of Ladisaus ", king of

French queen with suspended and
hly-decoratedc carriage, which caused
great admiration at the French court
This carriage was not initiated, how
ever, for under the reign of Francis !.
only two such coaches existed in Paris,
one of which belonged to the queen,
the ether to the kings mistress, Diana
of Poitiers. Special permission was
granted occasionally to ladies of the
highest rank to use similar vehicles, but
in 1868 the parliament of Paris request
Ned the king to forbid the use Of car
riages in the city, and this decree was
strictly enforced afterwards. Even
under Henry ". carriages were rare
objects, the king possessing only one,
for common use with the queen. The
carriage in which Henry was murdered
was a sort of cart, resting on the axles,
with 4 leather roof and leather curtains.
The decree of the parliament of Paris
was not unique, as other countries also
prohibited the use of carriages, some
going so far as to make it felony for
the lower nobility and other vassals to
use one.
