Mr.. Chambers warming.

MI. CnanOler's warning.
1t will be remembered that the Ron
William L. Chandler exploited himself
widely before the st. Louis. convention
at which MI. Mckinley was nominated.
He todd a great deal Of truth about
Mckinley, SO much truth, in fact, that the
Democratic papers never tire CT repeating
what he then said. Most OF them doubtless
have these remarks OF the Hon. William E.
Chandler standing in cold type in their
various printing offices.
Mr.. Chandler seemed somewhat ineclipse
dunngthe late campaign for Mr. McKinley's
elect on, but now that he has begantalking,
his words are so true that all Of the Demo
cratic newspapers are printing them, and
we miss our guess if they don't again
keep them standing in cold type, for repro
duct.on on every occasion when the news
from Washington or from London suggests
TO them that the chance of procuring bi-
metallism, either International or indie
pendent, Though the efforts Of the Repubh-
can party. must vanish into a dreamy night
mare Of the past.
OF course, Mr.. Chambers remarks have
Oeen veiled in fine atmosphere Of sar-
Casm. 1t is a method Of his in debate
But be has been telling the truth, and he
knows it; and aIlthe Republicannewspapers
- and all the Republican bosses knowft. The
Republican party was committed ire
trievably by its st. Louis platform to the
single gold standard. Probably two-thirds
OF the convention delegates did not know
this at the time. but it was the whole
purport ofthe gathering, and the undoubued
purpose Of those who controlled it, TO per
petuate the single gold standard by de-
voting 20 it one Of the two great Amer
lean parties long enough so that any
efforts to procure bimetallism by inter
national agreement should be bat a dreary
and dismal fake The promise OF party
endeavor was a sop to free silver Repub-
lcans, who unquestionably outnumber the
gold standard Republicans or the inteTna-
tional agreement Republicans, SO TO call
them. The promise allured and deluded
plenty OF Republicans who are silver men
at heart and who, If the promise had not
been made, would have voted for Mr. Bryan
and would have elected him. Mt Chand-
Ter does not say it in somany words, but be
points out, nevertheless and establishes
conclusively if any reiteration Of the fact
were necessary, that aninternationa agree
ment is a cheap dclusion, impossible ever
TO be consGmmated
The Republican promise meant nothing;
and if ii did, it could result in nothing.
1t was the belief OF the great, unparal-
leled peoples convention, held at Chicago
last summer, thatthe financial independence
OF this country and its prosperity under
individual and general efforts to liquidate
personal and national indebtednesses under
a system fair, just honest, and possible,
was the only salvation Of all OF us. For
the moment, this proposition, the most
important Of the present time. was beaten;
but 1T must surely win. Chandler pre-
diets as much.

To Cultivate the Faculty Of Turning
Everything to Use.

Many are the ways of turning every
thing to account, and it is astonishing
how much money is spent by people who
are really not in very affluent CiToum-
stances, but WI no, through either ignorance
or caTelessness, fail to make the most OF
their materials. A cupful of fiDely-chopped
veal, cut from the bones left from yester-
days dinner. will make half a dozen GRO
quettes or outlets.
Boil one cupful OF milk or cream, and
when boiling stir into il an ounce OF
butter and heaping teaSpoonful of flour,
warmed and well mixed together Squeeze
into il few drops of onion juice and q

ley, scant teaspoonful OF salt and spriHk

and bubbles Then stir in the finely
chopped meat and boil up once more; then
empty into a vegetable dish or small bowl
and put in cool place.

The whites OF eggs, il carefully saved

FANNY DAvENPoRT'S ADVICE.
1t Is Given to Girls and Is Worth
Their Reading.

There is NO doubt that the stage offers
greater opportunities to young women OF
ambition and talent than any other Occupa-
ton open to their endeavors. said Fanny
Davenport recently to girl who, like hun
dreds Of her sex, had asked the actress the
stereotvpcd What do you think about
woman studying 10 become an actress
But" continued Miss Davenport, mo
doubt the trials. troubles and disappoint-
meuts are greater. In addition to ability
you must have pluck, perseverance and a
nature in which pessimism is unknown.
Then. to crown all, good health is an alb
solute requisite. for the public have but
little sympathy, or even interest, in the
artist who is obliged to be out OF the bill
because she is Ill. What are YOU doing
now" The applicant said she was
writer, bot she had never been very sue
cesSful, although several OF her articles had
appeared in prominent magazines. She
was almost discouraged.
my dear little woman" said Miss
Davenport, you say you are a writer
and feel discouraged. Now, do you know
what-well, what Sardou went through
before he became famous? I'll tell you.
He was destined TO be physician by his
parents. He tried and failed, but he
wrote and wrote and wrote. Not medical
works, but sketches: little plays and more
plays. He lived several years in an attic,
taught school, yet he wrote without a ray
of encouragement. At twenty-eight he
had his comedy, La Taverne,' produced,
and it was Kissed off the stage OF the
Odeon. You know where he stands today?
Well, he wasn't discouraged. Now, if you
feel that you cannot make the public ac-
cept you as a writer do you think you can
make your way as an actress? You must
choose for yourself.
And, another thing, Sardou, like Shakes
peare, Dumas, and other celebrated authors,
still has his trials. Plagiarism is charged
against him, as against them, and so you
see that even success does not bring peace,
no matter what your abilities are. GOodby.
If you must act L wish you all the success
in tie world. If you become an author
hope you will achieve the ends deserved.
But you must work, work, work. Chicago

Senator Vests Adieu.
lF1om the New York Post.)

Senator Vest came out Of the Senate
chamber the other day, and gentleman
who stood near the door chatting with
some friends said in a cordial, CHEEKY way:
GLOW are you, senator?'
Mr.. Vest gave little grunt, which is his
usual salutation, and passed on The gen
tleman who had spoken to him was Richard
c. Kerens, of st. Louis, who was the Re-
publican candidate for the United states
Senate in the legislature which has Just
elected Vest.
The incident served to recall somewhat
similar one that took place during the
Chicae O convention last summer. Mr.. Vest
was seated very late one night in hotel
cafe sur ounded by party OF friends,
when a gentleman came up, shook hands
with him, and expressed pleasure at seeing
him again The Senator scowled and
gave a little grunt, and the man, beco ming
a little embarrassed, said:

The brigham Young Statue

The trouble which developed in conse-
quence of the placing in Statuary Hall of
a statue of that great Jesuit pioneer aud
discoverer, Pere Marquette, would but
weakly express the fun that will materialize
incase the Utah Legislature should do, what
it seems likely TO, and contribute life

pantheon OF American heroes.
Senator Cannon and Governor Wells, of
Utah, have joined in recommending this
action to the legislature of their State,
and it would he surprising if it were
not promptly acted upon Then the mat

Christian Endeavorers, and all the other

Congressional habit of bending the elbow
in the Capitol, would appear as complete
