GOLD DEMOCRATS PLANS
PARTY in Ohio to Meet at Columbus July
10.
Chairman Holding Expresses UncOm-
dncy of John n. Mclean.

Special Dispatch to The Evening s:ar.
CLEVELAND Ohio, July 3.-Plans Of the
Ohio gold democrats have been outlined by
Chairman S. H. Holding of the state execu-
tive committee as far as they are known
at this time. The gold democrats meet in
Columbus July 10 and the populists in Au-
gust. The prevailing sentiment Is that
neither party will place Gil Independent
ticket in the field, but to predict such q
result is out Of the question.
Chairman s. H. Holding announces that
he will not vote for any legislative candi-
date who will not swear not to vote for
John X. Mclean. For" says Mr.. Hold
ing. Mclean was born with silver spoon
in his mouth and has no sympathy for the
poor man. He thinks every man has his
price and that he can buy him with
money. He has been editing a republican
newspaper SO long that he Is not q con-
sistent democrat, and l think further that
he is totally unqualified for the United
States Senate"
Mr. Holding Is receiving large number
of letters from gold democrats throughout
the state expressing varied opinions as to
the advisability of placing an independent
ticket ia the field. 1t is said that there are
at least $4,000 bolting democrats vino might
be placed in the category of gold demo-
Gratis but 1t Is doubtful whether an inde-
pendent ticket could command the support
of all of these men. In case no ticket is
placed in the field, the gold democrats
would undoubtedly vote for Chapman, the
regular party nominee. and then vote for
republican legislators.
The fact that the democratic conven-
ton indorsed the whole of the Chicago
platform has pleased the populists, and
furthermore they have no question of
Chapmans free silver record. Therefore 1t
is very probable that the old state organ
ization of this party will not be revived,
but that the leaders will swallow their
disappointment al not receiving recognition
of the ticket. To predict, however, that
such will be the case is out of the question,
because, as in the ranks Of the gold dem
ocrats there is in the populist party a
diversity of opinion.

Cnsimlr zcalcn'. HulIet-Proof Cloth
Saved n DOGS Life.
CHICAGO, July 3-Bullet-proof cloth
saved the life OF dog. The dog WAS taken
to the Chicago College of Dental Surgery
to be shot at. The cloth invented by CAST
mir Zeglen. the monk. shielded the dog
from the bullets. and the shaggy-coated lit
tie auadruped went away as friskily as he
came, Notwithstanding the fact that two
bullets Of 44-caliber were fired at him at
distance OF ten feet from a long-barreled
revolver.
The first shot struck him exactly in a
place to break his backbone. He covered
from the shot, but when united wagged his
tail and did not seem In the least degree
sore. At the second shot the dog yelped
once but was uninjured.
Casimir Zeglen witnessed the shots, which
were fired by Lieut.. Stanilaus De Kow1n
Sarnecki. the Austrian soldier, who Is col
laborating with him In the perfection OF the
invention.
This was the first living object on which
the bullet-proof cloth was tested. and
Lieut.. Sarnecki was so much elated that he
hugged the dog with Joy. Then he an
cloth, which was being made, was COM
plete, it would be tied over the breast Of
living man and bullets fred at it.

Senator Pritchard asked him II Mr..
Ricketts, had put the failure to appoint him
upon any other ground than the one Of his
having no papers on file.
Mr.. Donovan said he had not, and the in
ference was that his failure to get the
place was because he was mot known" to
the public printer. Private Secretary
Ricketts, had referred to the record of dis
missal which was against Mr.. Donovan,
but had admitted. laughingly. that he knew
the charge of incompetency was all bosh
Senator Harris asked Mr.. Donovan why
he had not gone to the OWL service COM
mission with his case. Mr.. Donovan re-
piled that he knew 1t would do no good.
Others had gone to the commission with
similar cases and had received no help.
The fault was not with the commission.
but with the civil service law, which was
no good.
The committee then adjourned until next

between Benton Hsrbor, where it main
tains extensive rail terminals, and Man
itowoc, and the absorbed car ferry line
will be used for that purpose, the Big
-Four operating in connection with the
Wisconsin Central and Northwestern
lines. The transfer will take place
| about July l., when all ferry boats
| owned by the line will be diverted from
| their present run between South Chi
cage and Peshtigo, to Benton Harbor
and M~anitowoc, thus forming for the
Northwestern freight outlet to the east
