PRAISE OF LONG.
AS SOLDIER, CITIZEN, JURlsr.


The republican members OF the legislat.
ure In caucus on Wednesday, adopted the
following resolutions:
"Whereas, The April election is near at
hand, and we deem 1t especially important
that all the republican voters of the state
shall be correctly informed of the regard in
which Hon. Charles ID. Long, justice of the
supreme court of the state of Michigan, is
held by the republican members of the legis-
lature who meet him almost daily, and who
have excellent opportunities to know of his
legal learning and great personal worth;
therefore, be 1t
Resolved, BY the republican members
of the Michigan legislature, on this, the
twenty-iourth day of March, 1897, In caucus
assembled:
First, That the splendid and loyal service
rendered to his country by Justice Long In
spending number of years of his young
manhood in the army, where he left his
arm upon the field of battle and received
serious wounds that he will carry as long as
he lives, should commend him to every
lover of his country.
Second, The courage shown by this
young soldier in taking up the duties of civil
life under adverse circumstances and com
polling success, commands the admiration
of every man, young or old, who has re-
spect for manly character and undaunted
courage.
Third. Nearly ten years of work on the
bench of the supreme court has demon
strated beyond question that Justice Long
has exceptional qualifications for the high
Office which he now honors. He has shown
himself to be an able jurist of vast expert
ence, kindly, patient and courteous, pos
sessing the courage of his convictions. He
has won from the legal fraternity their I'M
bounded confidence in his learning and
prObity. His elevation 10 the bench has
not prevented him fron keeping in touch
with the citizens of the commonwealth in
relation to the affairs of life. He possesses
the confidence and respect of all who come
in contact with him, irrespective of party.
Fourth. Justice Long possesses in the
fullest measure our confidence and esteem
as a Hight minded citizen, pure man, an
able lawyer and a competent, fearless judge,
and we pledge him our active ana cordial
cooperation, and urge upon all the voters
of the state who are interested in good gov
eminent, their active, earnest work In aid
ing in the reelection of Justice Long"
Similar resolutions, indorsing the candi-
dacy of w. J. Cocker and G. ID. LawtOn, for
regents of the university of Michigan, were
unanimously adopted.

The Republican City Convention.

The republican city convention held at
the city hall last evening, was an enihusi-
astic and harmonious gathering. While the
contests were close and exciting, still good
feeling existed and all present seemed to ac-
cept the result gracefully and left the hall
prepared to do hard work for the successful
nominees. We have not space today TO
mention the candidates separately and can
give only condensed report of the pro.
ceedings
The convention was called TO order at
1880 by K. o. Dewey, who read the call and
asked DIR. G. Mccormick to act as temporary
chairman. On motion of G. w: Loring, e.
y. Dewey was elected temporary secretary.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-When MIR. and
Mrs. Bradley Martin arrived in New
York month ago, after an absence
of nearly three years, some one pre-
dicted that their coming would greatly
enliVen the social season, but scarce
ly any one thought for one minute to
how great an extent they would add
to the gayety of the winter. For quite
three weeks scarcely anything has been
talked Of in society but the fancy dress
ball OF Feb. 10, and this talk has
extended far beyond the narrow limits
OF the fashionable world The clergy
man who endeavored to cast a damper
On the project found but few to coin
eide with his views, and many who
sent regrets to Mrs. Martin reconsider
ed their action after the criticisms
from the reverend gentleman.
The ball has been hailed as q per-
feet gOdsend by hundreds. There ale
no happier mortals than the sewing
women employed by the fashionable
dressmakers, who at this time of year
are always discharged, and they will
have from three weeks to q months

Even for the costumers like Dazian.
Hermann and others, this is a dull sea-
son, for very few new theatrical pro-
auctions are put on at this time of the
year. These men have been enabled
to keep lot of people in employment.
and at Dazian's there are nearly 200
women hard at work Thus it can be
seen that the benefits arising from
such an undertaking are widecast. All
the dry goods stores are being ran
sacked for old stuffs and brocades
which otherwise might be kept In stock
for years.
AS to the ball itself, much remains
to be settled. 1t is safe to say that the
appointments will be on the most eIab-
crate scale, and that the Waldorf will
resemble a princely palace when 1t is

SAID THEY WE'RE AWFUL DAUBs,
Sir John MiIIais' Response to the
Pretty Girl.

The story of the late Sir John Millais
which follows is told by correspondent
of the London Chronicle in the paint
er's own words:
II found myself seated one evening at
a rather grand dinner next to a very
pretty gushing girl, to whom I had
not been introduced. She fired into
conversation directly she had finished
her soup, and as it was May, began
with the inevitable question, suppose
you've been to the Academy I re-
piled that had. And did you notice
the Millais? Didn't you think they were
awful daubs? 1 can't imagine how
such things ever get hung! She was
going on gayly in the same strain.
while I sat sat silent. when suddenly
the amused smiles Of those around her,
and the significant hush, brought her
to q sudden stop. She colored rather
painfully, and whispered to me in a
frightened voice: For heavens sake
what have [ done? Have I said any,
thing dreadful? Do tell me- Not now.
/ replied; eat your dinner in peace, and
I'll tell you by and by She did So
rather miserably, vainly trying to ex
tract from me at intervals what the
matter was, and when dessert came I
filed up her glass with champagne and
told her to gulp it down very quickly
when I counted three. She obeyed
without protest, and 1 took the oppor-
tunity when she couldn't speak to say:
We'll, I am Millais But let's be
frfends!"

tervals, that short-sleeved, open-necked gowns
will be the approved fashion for wedding
costumes. All royal ladies are married thus,
but royal initiatives invariably, in this
respect, set aside by the good taste of girls
of lower degree, who valianty cling this
season to higher collars and longer sleeves
than ever before.
This is quite as it should be, though there
is no explaining that time-honored emblem
of Hymens rights the orange blossom, is be-
ing pushed out of sight and memory. OF the
many dozens of charmingy costumed girls
who have gone to the altar since last au-
tumn, not more than three or four have
worn any of these flowers, though there is
revealed by the dressmaker the fact that on
every white satin she sends out for a bride
a sprig Of the orange bloom is pinned some
where amid the flutes and laces. She is or
dered to do this. not that the flowers may
ornament, or even make a show at all, but
simply to satisfy a feminine superstition
that to go to the altar without any Of these
mystic blossoms would be to court the worst
kind Of luck.
