In A speech before the literary
societies of the University of
Virginia, Bryan said 1.-The one
need of the people is currency
good everywhere. which will not
fuctuate in value, and which is
as good as any other in the world.
If Bryan means what he says
this puts him in the ranks of the
gold standard men," Gold, and
money convertible directly into
gold, is the only currency which
meets these tests. The money
which meets none of these re-
quirements, and which never can
be made to meet any of them. is
silver money at l6 to i ratio.
There is an irrepressible conflict
between this position and the
position he took last year. As
Stunning that he knows what he is
talking about now, Bryan him
self virtually says, what every
other sensible person has been
saying all along, that Bryan's
talk in 1896 was the widest sort
of nonsense.-St. Louis Globe.

The Improvement of the river
to Clarksburg is not new sub

transportation boat that ever
carried freight to Morgantown
was built at Clarksburg, and
started from Harrison county
with its cargo is one not to be
overlooked.

The TELEGRAM joins the citi-
zens of Clarksburg and the teach
ers of Harrison county in ex-
tending to the State Teachers
Association, which is now IN
session in this city, a most cor
dial welcome. Clarksburg is
fast becoming known, and favor
ably known as a convention city,
having entertained within her
hospitable gates a considerable
number of representative bodies
within the last year. Here, on
our quiet streets, ''far from the
madding crowd" the assembled
representatives of the pedagogi-
cal fraternity may find an atmos-
phere no less inspiring than it is
restful and refreshing. Amid our
picturesque hills, clothed with
summer verdure, they will find
as delightful a resort as exists
anywhere. Among our clever
people, they will doubtless make
numerous pleasant acquaintance.
Not mentioning the vast amount
of intellectual benefit derived
from assembling together and
tarrying in our midst, we may
safely say the event will prove to
the teachers of the State to be a
notable one, Astounding in happy
memories.

For Lady Letter Writers.

There Is an etiquette about every
thing, even about the way a woman
ought to write her notes. Considering
all things it is perhaps as well, sug-
gests the Detroit Free Press, that wom-
en- should read, mark and inwardly di-
gest the laws that ought to rule her
conduct when she "takes up the pen"
Two things, above all others, betray the
inelegant or unacustomed letter writer.
II she be guilty of neglecting the mar
gin ut each side of the page, or if she so
far forgets her precepts as to add a
p. s., she is forever doomed. Society is
exact in details, and society declares
such omission or commission TO be the
objectionable sin. The note, to be cor
rect, must be written on paper of me-
dunn size, preferably cream white, and
must he clear and distinct. The mono
gram is stamped on the paper, or the
crest, If one have the right; but upon
the inside Of the flap of the envelope
must be the address. When the writer
has borne all these facts in mind, and
has signed her unabbreviated name, she
may rest content.

Ababy loses In weight during the first
two or three days after It is born. The
gain should then begin and continue Mt
the rate of about quarter of n pound
week. The increase is sometimes
more rapid but this shows n satisfac-
tory progress.
Little boys of five and six may wear
lace collars and cuffs with fine cloth or
velvet suits in the afternoon or evening.
Ripple collars and cuffs of embroidery
with full ruffie around the edges look
we'll also They cost from 81 1.50 to $3.50,
the price depending upon the fineness
OF the material and the claborateness
of the embroidery.
Children should be encouraged to
write letters. 1t gives them facility in
expressing their ideas, and if the habit
Is established In childhood it is less
difficult in after life. When they leave
the old home regular correspondence
is source of the greatest comfort to
both parents and children, and fire.
,quent letters help to keep the fraternal
/ tie strong and unbrolten between broth
ers and sisters.
