SOCIETY'S WHITE LIES.

That every body tells white lies.
That, in fact, to keep the good will of
humanity, one must.
That women as entertainers have to tell
more than men.
That she performs favor with pleas
ure," when she h d rather biteshingle nails
than do it.
That there are certain society forms
which are meaningless when you come right
down TO facts, hut are said as a matter OF
form and politeness.
That she "will be happy to CALL" when
come to an end the next minute, as that
she will ever do it.
That no one takes any stock in these
expressions, so really and truly, as the in.
tent is not to deceive but merely to be
polite, 1t is not lie.
presses pleasure at receiving d call from
one whom she wishes that very minute was
engulfed In the Red Sea.
That men sometimes criticse women for
this, but that their conceit w ould be quickly
taken down il women always acted as they
felt; and men would be the first to want
to abolish absolute truthfulness.
That all this reasoning is very, very
tiresornc, but having heard some severe crit
lcicm of society white lies from the masca-
line ranks, 1T seems necessary to rise I'D
and defend us from the accusation Phila-

show that the Secretary OF the Treasury
is a good deal more OF wind than pros
perity Gage.

Although our own President and advance
agent OF the prosperity that did not come
is off for the Yankee Highlands today, to
have a little time with his encourage
and just naturally waIlow in iced Cham
plain, the good people of Washington must
not get down ON their luck. These things
must be. Little Napoleon HES him away
for summer recreation, far. far from his
'Cncle John" and his Aunt Hanna, and
as far as ever he can from all his PAS
tors and masters. As to his Aunt Hanna.
there is d wicked story that the indi-
vidual named is mad at Little Napoleon on
account OF that currency message, which,
it is said, was a fragrant act OF disone-
dience, in punishment for which the old
lady went off on his steam yacht with
out saying "good-by" TO the little man
NOR nothin' Of the kyind." BY autumn
these things will be forgotten, because
the interim win be filled by others OF
much anxiety and necessity. Although
prosperity" is starting in by the closing
OF mines, shops, mills and factories every
where, while want and miser stalk, sIecter-
ike over the land, something must be done

Ohio election viii make itself up into a
bitter bolus for the bosses. Hence an
amount of syndicated lying is to be per-
petrated, that We cannot contemplate with
out sorrow and amaze.

EFFORTS FOR FUSION IN OHIO
An Important Conference of the

An Important Conference OF the
Frieuds OF silver.
Columbus, Ohio, July 2e.-Chairnan Nc
ConviIie. of the Democratic State eNecu-
tive committee, held an important confer
ence with silver Republican leaders last
night relative to the hope for general
fusion OF all the silverftes of the states.
Ex-Congrcssman Towne, chairman OF the
Silver Republican national committee; Gen.
Warner, OF the American Bimetallic
League, and Col. Roberts. who is running
a continuous camp meeting at Springfield,
Ohio, under the auspices Of the Bimetallic
League, were among those at the confer
enoe- ~
1t was arranged that Mr. Towne should
deliver an address at the Populist State
convention, To be held here August 10. as
part OF the effort now making TO have the
Populis.s indorse the Democratic State
ticket
The silver Republicans, however, accom-
plished nothing in their efforts 60 have one
OF their number appointed on the Demo
cratic State executive committee. Nc
Conville was authorized to name his asso.
ciates on the committee.

not been an avowed Democrat for at least
a year. Towne, Warner and others think
this is suicidal, and insist that the silver
Republicans and populists must be recogniz
ed on the committee, with view OF
dropping the name Democratic" and
forming party to be called the silver party.
NcConville viii have none OF this, and
probably will rename last years State
committee.

With the general scattering OF our Adj
ministration people to the woods, noun
taIns, and yachts, the government OF
Canovas del Castillo seems to think that
the props have been knocked out from be-
meath Gen. weyler. His great and good
friend Hanna is off on a cruise. Long is
no longer. The advance agent has gone
tn bin a one night stand up in Vermont for
a six weeks season. Thus, bereft OF
executive and Legislative supportfrom Wash
ington, weyler despairs OF accomplishing
anything more, and Canovas is reported a
about to relieve the scomdrel. weyler
has been recalled on paper a great many
times before, but is ia Cuba yet. We
will wait until his departure from the
island before INDUCING i'm any farewell
remarks. Gen. Gomez appearsto be drawing
in his lines around Havana, Matanzas, and
SO on, without any hindrance from the
spaniards. There are reports of minor
Cuban victories, and suspicious in Havana
that an important Spanish defeat has been
sustained in Pinar del Rio, but the facts
whatever they may be are carefully sup
pressed at the palace.

CAN YOU PACK A TRUNK?

Heavy things should 60 at the bottom
and fancy, fluffy gowns and waists at
the top.
All the thousand and onelittle thin gs like
belts, ribbons, collars. laces-in fact, all ac-
cessories, should be put in the tray.-Phil-
adelphia Record.
Get I'LL the things you are going to put
into the trunk assembled before you begin
putting them in, with all OF each kind OF
thing separate from the others.
Stuff your good shoes with tissue paper
to retain their shape, and then wrap in
paper separately so they will not soil
things, and tuck them in to fill the corners
OF the trunk
Towels 10 putting between the gowns
are no longer onidered as good as soft it's
sue paper; they er~-- much heavier. Have
a geo,l supply of this tissue paper on hand
before you begin.
The puffs CT sleeves should be puffed out
with tissue paper. and where the puff is
divided in the center a roll placed between
the two divisions to prevent either side
from being crushed over.
Don't carry bottles of shoe polish, ink or
medicines In your tTuhk. Ihere are nine
chances to one that there will be an acct
dent: aud these can be bought for very
much less than spelling your clothes will
cost you when you reach your destination
Take a TolI OF tissue paper about az thick
as your wrist and put across under where
your skirt turns over to prevent It's folding
flat together and forming crease. If you
are so fortunate as to have a regular skirt
trunk that takes your skirt at It's full
length. of course this isn't necessary.
All bows on hats should be puffed with
tissue paper. and after the hat has been
put in place it should have the paper tucked
In around and over IT loosely to make it
stable. Where one part of the trimming
touches another II should be protected By
the paper, particularly where It is wired

While Secretary Gage prates OF prosperity
at lavish dinner parties the miners witness
the absence of 1T and go without any din
Nor. The strike reports of the day are not
at Pittsburg yesterday failed to develop
strength enough TO make flattering the
prospects OF the uniformity agreement.
and, therefore, the chance of an early ac-
commodation OF the difficulty from the
masters side is not brilliant Among the
diggcrs the situation does not seem to have
varied much since previous reports. West
Virginia miners are still undecided Lead
eIs are satisfied that they must get out
the West Virginia and De Armitt men or
give up the struggle. All organized labor
is to he called upon to help the strike finan-
cially II the response is liberal enough,
It is believed that West Virginia night Join.
II IL is not generous-much more SO than
we should expect TO see It I'm these tight
times-then the strike will fizzle cut. 1t
is significant that at the very time Mr..
Gage was prattling prosperity in Boston to
o hundred and fifty beaming beacon noses.
su,mounting an equal number Of bow
bellies bursting with woodcock and Bur

The prosperity play, inaugurated by Mr..
Gage, in our opinion, is too attenuated a
trick to work well. 1t is not his own
conception, any more than the top-lofty
and say-nothipg speech he res in Boston
was his original composition: both bear
the elephantine earmarks of the Glover
building and its literary bureau. The
tune will be played on, however, and sew
eral hundred organs already have been
hired, as usual, to grind IL out. Only,
we are unable &c believe that the object
OF the foolish attempt to make general
condition OF discomfort and misery appear
one OF plenty and prosperity win much
lie advanced by such tepid twaddle as Mr.
Gage relieved himself OF between the bour-
Ion and the beans at Boston.

The conviction has forced itself upon us
for several DAYS that Abdul Hamd. ms
friend, Toothache Pasha, the ambassa doris
and the cmperors have taken an old hotel
somewhere up north. and gone there for
a frugal retreat during the dog days
Nothing worth mention is said about any
OF them in the foreign dispatches. II
they have not gone Off summering, we
are AFRAID that they are too busy watch
ing US and Haw ali TO fight among them
selves. The report that Great Britain
has seized one OF the outlying islands be-
longing to the Hawaiian government is
significant and ominous. Something OF
the kind was sure TO happen as soon as
the Congress adjourned. There are in
dioations OF a foul and reasonable play
in relation to Hawaii, connected also with
Cuba; but this is not the time To discuss It.

A general suspension of activity follows
the passage of the Hanna Till. Money
congests at centers, and interest is low,
because the total absence of prosperity

all property, enterprise and labor have

Suit Threatened that May Explain
Mysteries Of His Death.
New York, July 2s.--Friends of the late
Robert Ray Hamilton, whose tragic DEATH in
Idaho few years ago was folio wed by
contest for his estate by the notorious Eva
Mann and spurious child. which she had
secured for the purpose, say tnat Hamil-
ton'sfriend,J ID. Sargent, who waslynched
at Jackson's Hole, Idaho, last week, had
called ON them here two weeks ago and
threatened suit to establish his ownership
to three-fifths of Hamilton's valuable
ranch, known as" Marymere,' on the border
Of Yellowstone Park. Sargent evidently
was In dcsperateistraitsf vr want ofmoney.
In his absence soldiers found his wife and
six children starving, and rescued them too
late to save the woman's life.
Before dying Mrs. Sargent Is said to have
made statements Concerning her husband
that Infatuated the men of Jackson's Hole,
and on Sargent's return, according to Tire
dispatches, he was hanged.
Trustees Of HaHlilton's estate expect chat
they will now be called upon to defend
suit ON behalf Of Sargent's children from
the Marymere ranch, they deny that SaY-
gent was ever more than manager OF the
property, which has increased much in
value during the hast few years.
The children will be sent to the home Of
sargent's father. "a wealthy iron founder In

What a pity it is that the limits OF an
after-dinner speech did not permit Mr.
Gage TO show how unimportant the reverse
OF the pictureis. Indeed, the picture seldom
shows us anything in that line after a
good dinner and plenty OF champagne
But, certainly, If he had the time he would
have further shown that, with interest
down next door to nothing, and the banks
and trust companies vaults bursting with
currency. it is the fault of hundred thou

The mother put In each small mouth
A hollow thread of silk,
Through w hich the sun and rain and air
Provided baby's milk.
The pett!coats were gathered close
Where all the threadlets hung,
And still as summer days went ON
To mother stalk 1t chung;
And all the time it grew and grew
Each kernel drank the milk
by day, by night, In shade, in sun,
From its own thread of silk.
And each grew strong and full and round,
And each was shining white.
The cores and seams Were all let out,
The green skirts fitted tight.
The ear stood straight and large and tall,
And when 1t saw the sun,
Held up its emerald satin gown
To say, !" Your work is done''
" You're large enough. said Mother Stalk,
And now there's no more room
For you to grow - She tied the threads
