the coast of North Carolina, a beautiful
green land fun of cedars sassafras, palms
and flowers, where the birds sung the year
round Annanias and Eleanor Dare, the
father and mother of our baby, were
among these settlers. Their child was born
about a month after the landing of the
colonsts. August IS. 1887.
In the little wooden chanel, two or
three weeks after the event, the colonists
assembled one bright day to attend the
baptism and christening of the little
stranger. The font was the family's silver
wash ever and the sponsor was Governor
White himself, the baby's grandfather.
Thereafter she was known as Virginia
Dare, a sweet ana appropriate name Tor
this pretty wild flower that bloomed all
alone on that desolate coast. She was the
first child born of English parents in
America and the only white baby
then living on this continent.
About the time that Virginia was cutting
her first teeth there came very distressing
times to the colony. There was great need
of supplies, and II was determined TO
send to England for them. Governor White
went himself and never saw his little
granddaughter again.
1t was three years before the governor
returned to Rodnoale island lie was kept
in England by the Spanish Invasion, and
after the winds and the waves had shat
tered the dreaded Armada. It was some
time before Raleigh could get together the
men ana supplies that were needed by the
far-om colony. At last the ship WAS ready
and White took his departure, but he had
not sailed far when his vessel was over
taken by a Spanish cruiser and cap
turod.
White himself escaped In a boat, and at-
ter many days reached England again.
Then he had to wait for another snip,
ana the weary old man saw day after
day go by before he left the chalk cliffs of
England behind him. After long, anxious
months he approached the new land.
You can fancy how he strained his eyes
TO eaten the nrst sign Of life among the
green trees. 1t was near sunset and he
expected to see the smoke rising from the
chImneys and the settlers hurrying in
from the fields to eat their evening meal,
or crowding down TO greet the long looked
for arrivals But no such cheering sight
met his gaze There stood the cabins but
they We're deserted; not single human
soul visible.
They landed and walked up the grass
grown paths. Vines and climbers festoon-
"a the doorways and a herd of deer We're
feeding on the ripe melons and cucumbers.
A dreary stiffness reigned everywhere.
In the home of Dare stood the cradle that
had held little Virginia, as II she had
laft II hut a moment before. little shoe

MINNESOTA FOR GOLD.
The Declaration a Surprise to the
siIVerites.

The Declaration a Surprise 10 the
silVerites.
ST. Paul, Mimi, June THE democrats
Of Minnesota did a most unexpected thing
to-day by declaring emphaucauy for gold.
when a count Of noses last night seemed
to indicate that the declaration would be
for free silver.
The committee on resolutions made two
reports, one declaring for gold and the
other for the free coinage of silver at 16
TO ], the latter being the minority report.
The ll2 delegates from Minneapolis and the
36 from Duluth voted solidly for silver,
but In spite Of this the gold men won by
vote of 440 to 323
The platform endorses the adminlstra-
tiOn of Grover Cleveland. relterates the
partys g position on the tariff and thus de-
clares on the money question. 1--WE are
unqualihedly In favor Of the present gold
standard Of value. We favor the use Of
both gold and silver as money and believe
our government should coin and keep I'm
circulation such a part of the silver as
can be employed without destroying or
threatening TO destroy the existing parity
OF value between the unit In gold and the
unit in silver. We oppose the free coinage
OF silver by our government the ratio
OF 10 10 without cooperation on the part
OF the other commercial nations of the
world"

MAKING VOTES FOR ,rKINLEY.

His Followers in Control of the Ma
tiOnnI Committee.
st. Louis, June 1.-THE sentiment among
the delegates already upon the ground ap-
pears to be strongly crystallized in favor
of the financial plank promulgated by Ma
tional Committeeman r. c. Kerens of this
city and which was given in these dis
patches of Wednesday. Mr.. Kerens ad-
mits that he is not the author of the pro-
posed plank, and that it is the handiwork
of "a prominent republican" Taken in
connection with his recent visit to Canton,
there have been suggestion that the draft
has been submitted to and received the
approval of Maj Mckinley. Upon this
point, however, Mr., Kerens will not sat
isfy his enquirers.
While in line with their previous posi-
ton that the convention, rather than the
candidate. should make the platform,
Mark Hanna and his lieutenants continue
to regard the topic as tabooed, and will
not touch it even in generalities.
The only notable arrival this morning
was Henry Clay Evans of Tennessee, who
appears to be a favorte for the position
of permanet chairman, and has also been
considerably talked of for the vice presi-
Dental nomination. Immediately upon his
appearance in the rotunda of the South
ern he was surrounded by the Alabama
delegation, which has already hoisted the
banner of Mckinley and Evans" and
was also greeted cordially by scattering
delegates from other states
Then Mark Hanna, who came up while
the impromptu reception was in progress,
locked arms with the Tennessee man and
bore him away to his private quarters.
The members Of the national commit
tee were prompt in getting together in
the club room of the Southern a 10 o'clock
this morning for the purpose Of resuminS
consideration of the numerous contests.
A disposition to hasten this branch Of its
work was manifested by the body, several
members expressing the fear that if the
unabridged debates and discussions that
marked the session of yesterday were TO
continue the temporary roll would still
be in allegiance when the convention was
ready for business on Tuesday morning.
Accordingly, when Congressman Hill
born Of California asked for the post
ponement of the contest from the Third
district of that state in consequence or
the nOu-arrival of some of the men ard
papers concerned, numerous objections
were raised and the Pacific coast rep
resentative was given the option Of going
