A CALL TO DEMOCRATS.


dnicers of tho National Association OF
Democratic Clubs Issue an Address TO
the Party.
WASHINGTON, April Is. The first
meeting of the new executive commit
tee OF the National Association of Dem
ocratic Clubs took place here Monday.
The reports of the officers showed
very satisfactory condition of the asso-
cations affairs. During the campaign
there were in existence $4,000 demo-
cratic campaign clubs, 1900 of which
were formed during the campaign, and
which lapsed after the election. There
are 5000 clubs still in existence.
A committee was appointed to pre-
pare an address to the democratic vot-
ers of the country, which the commit
tee adopted The address, after recit-
ing the objects of the association and
declaring that they are the principles
of Jefferson and the democratic party
and essential to the preservation OF
the republic, says among other things:
While all industries languish, while the
gold dollar appreciates and the silver dollar
is denied its natural economic function, while
nation waits and suffers, tariff schedules are
being revised for the exclusive benefit of the
tax eaters and the gold owners are tacitly
assured that they need apprehend no en-
croachmentS upon their monopoly, which Is
visibly appropriat,ng the profits of the labor
Of civilized mankind To the bitter complaints
Of the people the answer Of the Roman farmer
Of the revenues is returned. namely more
taxes and dearer currency with which to pay
them"
We suggest that democratic societies consti-
tuted after the manner Of those which Mr..
Jefferson described as nurseries OF republican
principles be established in every district
and that the democratic state county and city
chairmen throughout the country take imme-
date steps to secure the institution of such or
paniZationS

TO remove its apparent broad discretionary
feature; that uniform forms OF freight bills be
required. which shall show the weight, rate
and class for which the bill is rendered, A
state railroad commission is also recommended.

After a Chinese Wedding.

On the day following a Chinese we'd
ding. at least in certain provinces, the
brides youngest brother goes to in
ouire after her and to take a present
from her mother of bottle of hair oil.
This is a custom so ancient that none
knows the origin thereof. No further
take place between the
bride and her family for three months,
when her mother sends sedan chair
and an invitation to visit her. If there
has been neither birth nor death in
her husbands or in her mothers house
for 100 days she goes and makes a
short stay at her old home. This visit
over. she cannot see her mother again
until after her first child is born, and
not then. should the child be a girl.
Even then, if there has been a death
in either family the visit cannot be
made. and there have been many in
stances where mother and daughter
living very near each other have not
met for years.

grow more and more gorgeous every

stripes running lengthwise with fringed
and knotted silk ends.
A girdle made of ribbon and guipure
is a pretty decoration for a dress that
is otherwise dull and unattractive. 1t
has a fan-shaped front formed of five
strips of two-inch, red ribbon, spread
wide at the top and overlapped at the
waist. Black guipure covers the seams.
This makes a sort of peasant-Walst

a belt formed of two strips of ribbon
with black velvet ribbon rosettes at
the apparent fastening. 1 say appar-
ent, because instead of fastening under
the rosettes at the back it passes
around to the front and hooks to the
under side of the fan-shaped front.
The whole is edged with narrow velvet
ribbon.
Ribbon with a lengthwise stripe is
the favorite style. The newest is in
three tones of the same color and has
velvet stripe at one edge. 1t is very
gorgeous and makes stunning grdles

that bright colored gloves will not be

is piquancy,-nothing exaggerated
nothing outre; just as free from self

Stoves a Source Of Danger.

Cast iron stoves for hard coal, though
in many ways desirable because they
make an even temperature possible,
may be the source of much danger in
ignorant hands. If the drafts are not
properly turned carbonic acid gas and
sulphurous fumes may pour into the
room, and in a sleeping room may
smother the slumberers before they
are aware of their danger. Three per
cent. of carbonic acid gas in the air
of room is fatal to animal life, and
large sized baseburner will not take
long to supply this percentage in a
close room. Such stoves should always
be carefully watched and never handled
save by experienced persons.
