HOME RULE.
WIN % Be Adhered 20 In the Apeolat-
meat % Officers In the Ia-
dIaa Territory7

Both the republican and
democratic parties in their
national conventions adopted,
in their platforms. a plank pro-
Nding for home rule in the
Indian Territory. This move
had its origin in the Indian
Territory, both of the great
parties in their territorial con-
ventions being Outspoken in Its
favor. From these sources the
principle was carried TO the
national conventions, where il
met with hearty and unanimous
recognition.
The republican party having
won IN the national contest il
now rests with the incoming ad-
ministration to say whether
this pledge shall or shall not be
fulfilled as promised.
The Elevator is not in sym
pathy with the republican party
or any Of its leaders. but can
dor prompts us to admit that
there is no dearth of truly loyal
republicans in the Indian Terri
tory who possesses the ability,
integrity and desire 10 fill all
the offices within the borders Of
the territory, and il is but
simple justice to these people
that they should be given that
which their party in national
convention gave them reason to
expect.
We should demand as much
had not the people of these
United States put their feet
down on our aspirations, and
can ses no reason why the rule
should not be applied for the
benefit of our opponent.
Relying upon the party q
carry out the home rule policy

ces in the three districts are il
nearly every instance, securing
the Endorsements only of IN,
citizens Of their respective dis
tricts. and aspirants for every

ful one; serving 20 refresh our
memories on several points Of
historical importance. Inter-
esting sketches Of his life were
read by Misses Riley and Rich

The society turned from table
talk to roll call. when each mem
Der responded with a selection
from or about Mr.. and Mrs.

English poets were brought
prominently before our minds
by interesting sketches Of their
lives, which were read by differ
ent members. Among the
poems read were Love. The
Pauper's Death Bed" An
April Day." and "The Cataract
Of Ladore."
Time for studying these au-
thors seemed too short. But
while we turned from a deep In
terest in them il was only to be-
come more deeply interested in
the great writer. minister and
lecturer, Ian Maclaren. whose
life and character were forcibly
brought out by Miss Richardson
in a well written and highly en-
tertaining paper.
Mrs. McNeish read an inter
esting description Of a lecture
given by this author. while
other members read selections
from some Of his principal
works. Mr.. McNeish's reading
of Jimmie Sutor" was espec-
tally entertaining because of his

At the Opening and the Closing the Mar

New York, July 2s,-The stock mar lxet to-day was influenced by the de- posits of gold at the sub-treasury, the reduction in exchange and, to an ex- tent, by the adviees from St. Louis regarding the convention of, the popu- lists
 Al the opening and closing the mar ket was rather weak, but in the interim it displayed great deal of strength, The opening was disappointing, owing to the receipt of lower cables frosn London, it having been expected that the foreigners would buy our stocks In view of the efforts making to keep inc government on a gold basis. The con- trary proved true, and in fact London houses took advantage of the high prices to turn their paper profits .nto cash.
 The early decline was equal to per cent in Sugar and about 4 to 4 per cent. in the general run of active is- sues. In the afternoon trading the heavy deposits of gold by the banks, which resulted in the restoration of the | treasury gold reserve to the one hun dred million mark and reports from St. Louis that the populists would net endorse Bryan after all, started up a lively buying on the part of the shorts, and a rise of A to 3B per cent. roi- l lowed
 Jersey Central, the grangers and ln- dustrials led the upward movement, and the trading in these issues was :tn- | imated. The bulk of the buying was | for the short account although com mission houses took moderate amounts of the dividend payers, presumably for l investment ..

A decline of A@1a pei cent. followed in the general list while | Manhattan dropped to 931a, 8 loss o1 2N per cent. This stock was heavs throughout the day.

Women as Soldiers.

During the recent campaign in Mad agascar we heard good deal about the Dahomey Amazons and their prowess in war; and few months ago daily paper asserted that female volunteer corps was in the process of being formed, to be officered, of course, by some extreme disciples of the "New Woman cult. In the latter instance the idea of woman usurping mans place on the battlefield was looked upon as being something quite origi- nal; whereas it would simply be case of history repeating itself for that there have been many such heroines the following particulars will prove;

She afterward enlisted in Fraser's Regiment of Ma rines, and proceeded to Portsmouth, whence she sailed in Admiral Bosca- wen's squadron for the East Indies.

The Modern Female Palmist.

It is one of the signs of the times nowadays that wherever you go the palmist is with you always. At recep- tions you notice that crowd of femi- nine draperies many skirts thick, is gathered round the door of the third room;'' and you are told that within there is a fortune-teller. She may re- veal the future, the past, and the ney- er-to- be by the lines on the hand, or she may manipulate the cards of the Grand Tarot and weave q powerful TO- nance out of what has seemed to third persons singularly commonplace ca- reer, adding, moreover, last act which auaintly combines the doubtful apoth- eosis of the problemplay with the "happy ever after'' of the Adelphi dra- ma in a manner calculated to prove in finitely consoling to one who feels her- self to be misunderstood" by an un- discerning generation. Or with the aid of magic crystal (purchasable for the ridiculously reasonable sum of two- and-six) she may be seeing more and more curious visions than were ever dreamt of in the philosophy of Horatio Hamlet or even the Ghost himself-if dreams n-d r','1nsophy are included in the ghostly outfit.
 | At garden parties, bazars and eetes l of every kind the palmist tent is as reg ular part of the program as the band and the boredom. In the daily papers she shrieks at you with loud-voiced ad- vertisement that she gives lessons and
 oonfers diplomas, that she will "do' | clairvoyance, second sight, thought
 reading, crystal-gazing, palmistry, and l the advertisement agent knows what l besides Nay, more, she will burst out
 sometimes into curiously ill-judged and
 oddly grammared letters to the daily | press, in which she boasts that her
 house Gin the suburbs) is the only true l Dodona (where the grove surely should | be of chestnuts rather than of oaks), l sneers covertly at her brothers and sis | ters in the occult arts, and declares | with electro-plated authority that none | are genuine except those who have studied under her. Mysterious whis- | pers, moreover, may be heard from
 time to time from both beautiful and
 unbeautiful lips. fShe told me that should be the subject of real grande passion three times in my life and that two of them were yet to come" Lady Jaye has been taking Freddy to her
 every day for a week. and is having his

 It may even be worth considering whether the remarkable abatement of the howl of the new woman may not
