st. Louis.
CHICAGO, July 9-The following is the
substance of the platform as agreed upon
by the majority of the committee on resO-
lutions just prior to their adjournment
yesterday afternoon. The committee will
meet again this morning, and may make
some slight verbal notifications in the
finapcial and one or two other plauks;
otherwise this is the platform which will
be submitted to the convention The
platform was written almost entirely by
Charles H. Jones, editor of the St Louis
Republic. 1t begins by reaffirming allie
glance to the essential principles upon
which the government is founded and
which the Democracy has advocated since
Jeffersons time-"FreedOm of speech,
freedom of the press, freedom of conscience,
the preservation of personal rights, the
equality Of all citizens before the law, and

''and admitted gold to free coinage at a
ratio based upon the silver unit. We de-

appreciation of gold and corresponding
fall in the prices of commodities produced

metallism which has locked fast the pros

un-American, but anti-American and it
can be fastened on the United States only
by the sitting of that spirit and love of
liberty which proclaimed our political in
dependence in 1916 and won it in the war
of the revolution. We demand the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold and

ounces and a child can easily use them.
They are thrown into fire and extinguish
it so handily and naturally. no matter how
excited a person becomes, that every
home, office, institution, public building
and other places where persons live and
work ought to be supplied with them,
even when protected by other appliances.
These grenades are glass globes about
four inches in diameter and one pint In
capacityi they are filled with a chemical
nuld which generates volumes of fire-ex-
tinguishing gas when brought in contact
with the flame The bottle is hermetical-
ly sealed, and the fluid is not susceptible
TO the influence of the atmosphere. No
fermentation or evaporation can take
place, and the grenades can be relied
upon to do their work thoroughly under

MRS. LANIER'S READINGS.
She Delights a Large Audience Mt
Gen. Lavvfon's Residence.


Mrs. Sidney Lanier gave the first of
series Of three subscription readings Of Sc
lections from her husbands poems. at the
residence of Gen. and Mrs. A. r. Lawton
yesterday afternoon. The audience was a
large and eminently fashionable one,
crowding the handsome parlors.
That few gentlemen were present is
probably accounted for by the fact that
the hour was an inconvenient one for
business men.
Mrs. Lanier is a sweet-faced little wo-
man. and is thoroughly inbued with the
poetic spirit of her gifted husband. He
could have asked for no more sympa-
thetic and intelligent rendition of his
poems than they received from his wife.
The audience was sympathetic to a de-
gree. and subdued murmurs of admiration
We're heard whenever an especially beau
tiful thought or allegory fell from the
readers lips.
The first selection was 1.-THE oaks of
Glenn" It was an exquisite little bit
of landscape painted In words of poetic
fire. only Corot could have painted it,
only Lanter could have described II. Dis
played in every line We're the deep feel
ings of a lover of nature, to quote the
poets words, "One who hath breathed
the soul of the Oak" The second Sc
lection was a triolet descriptive of the
hooking bird, the dove, and the Tampa
robin. 1t abounded in graceful diction,
and displayed a sprightly fancy. Mrs
Lanier then gave her hearers an insight
of the poets innermOst thoughts by read
ing several letters written by her husband
during his stay in New York and Balti-
more, descriptive of his first trials
and tribulations as an aspiring
musician. and his ultimate triumphs
as flutist. The letters breathe the spirit
of the man, steadfast in his purpose, but
susceptible in marked degree to the
beautiful in music and art.
1t is notable that his letter of September,
1878 predicts that music will take the place
Of prayer In the churches a prediction
which is rapidly approaching fulhllment.
Another letter, which served as an intro
duction to his symphony, described Wheel
ing, w. Va, in a manner the reverse of
complimentary. The symphony represents
an orchestra, tire different pieces espous-
ing the cause of love against trade. 1t
contains some beautiful sentiments choice
ly expressed.
The reading was thoroughly informal
and successful to a marked degree and
the subscribers look forward eagerly to
the next number which will be held to-
morrow night at the residence of Mr. and
Mrs. Jacob Rauers, at O'Clock.
