STONE STILL WITH BRYAN.
Says He Made No Combination With
Croker.

Chicago, Dec. 16.-Ex-Goyernor Will
liam l. Stone of Missouri was in Chi
cago yesterday in consultation with
the democratic leaders. In an inter
view he said: 1T has been stated that
l entered into some scheme with Crok-
er and others to have the next national
convention repudiate the Chicago plat
form and do other dreadful things. |
never saw Croker in my life; never
had any communication with him.
All the talk about abandoning the well
understood, long established principles
of the democratic party, SO clearly and
accurately enunciated in the Chicago
platform of 1896, eliminates only from
those whose wish if father to the
thought. The democratic party of the
United States is composed of those
who supported Bryan and still stand

M'KINLEY IN MACON.
President Praised for His Tribute 10
Confederate Dead.

Macon, Ga, Dec. 20.-President Nc
Kinley and party reached Macon
promptly on time and were received by
the largest crowd which has gathered
in Macon since the last visit of Jeffer-
son Davis to the city. At the station
was a reception committee composed
of a number of the most prominent
citizens of the town. Drawn up in
frCat of the station was the Bibb coun-
ty camp of the Confederate Survivors
association, 400 strong, headed by
Commander Wiley. AS the president
reached the old coafederates he was
saluted by Wiley who addressed him as
follows: Mr.. President: AS COM
mander of the Bibb county vet
Grams association and Bibb county
camp, No. 484, extend to
you and your party the most generous,
hearty and sincere welcome to our be-
loved city. You, sir, have endeared
yourself to the heart of all confeder-
ate soldiers on account Of the noble
sentiments expressed 10y you in regard
to our confederate dead. I assure you
Grams who have met here to do you
honor today appreciate such words of
love and kindness, and uttered, too, by
the president of this great country
and by one who was a member of the
union army in the sixties. l hope and
pray, Mr. President, that God in His
infinite mercy, may so di-
rect the future legisla-
tion OF this country that the living
coIfederates will be remembered. This
country and the stars and stripes be-
long as much to the confederate veter-
ans as they do to the G. A R. The
south proved its loyalty to this grand
old country when war was declared
with Spain, and now forever she viii
be found ready to take up arms and
defend our country and our flag. Mr.
President, in behalf of these brave and
MANNED confederate soldiers of Bibb
county, Georgia, 1 present you with

of us can escape our own RESPONSE
bility, and l am not accountable to
you, but to higher power, for the
out of fashion in the nineteenth CEN
fury. DR.. Pardee's lecture at Sorosis
on that subject, while it may have
been rather frank was undoubtedly
true. But misfit marriages will still
be common-some of them worn, how
ever, just as a mis- 1T suit of clothing,
and others will finu their way to the
pawnshop, or, in other words, the d.
vOrce court"
Another prominent New York lady
advances this excellent theory: My
remedy for misfit marriages is educa-
ton. Open up every avenue to a
girl, SO that she will not be forced into
matrimony simply because there is
nothing else to do. Let her have many
aims, many interests in life Eliminate
as much as possible the idea Of sex
from her mind. That one idea is the
cause of many mistakes, many false
steps. And when | speak of educa-
ton as the preventive of unhappy
marriages | do not mean for the girl
only, but also for the man. It is now
a painful fact that girls are taking
more advantage of the opportunities
offered them than the boys Educate
each thoroughly. and they will not be
apt to make unfortunate matches.
They will take an intelligent view of
the matter. Each will understa
much of life-its seriousness, its vast
ness, it's Importance. Then they will
come to realize that each must be a
helpmeet to the other. like that good
old-fashioned word. 'helpmeet.' It
means so much. When they under
stand that they must stand side by
side. each bearing half of the burdens
of the day, and enter into matrimony
with that firm intention. they will
be equally yoked together But. as !
have said, education, and education
alone, can fit men and women tor the
duties of life

TWO CLUBS COMBINE
BROOKLYN AND BALTIMORE
TEAMS AMALGAMATE.
TWO LEAGUES PLANNED
Indications Are That the Magnates
Will Soon Have Two Organizations
of Eight Clubs Washington
and Baltimore May Drop Into
Minor League-Other Gossip.

New York, Dec. 17.-That something
startling was to be sprung during the
meeting of the national baseball league
was an open secret and yesterday when
the announcement was made that the
Brooklyn and Baltimore clubs had
amalgamated, no one was surprised.
When the matter was announced as a
certainty it was generally regarded as
great boom for baseball in Greater
New York and by some considered a
forerunner Of many changes in the
near future. By the terms OF the
amalgamation the respective clubs
shall pool all gains and losses. Those
who figure profit on Brooklyn say
this will more than counterbalance
Baltimore's losses next October. The
players likely to be transferred from
Baltimore to Brooklyn are Kelly, Kee-
Ter, jennings, Mccain, Demonterville,
Corbett, Maui and McJames. Manager
Ned Hanlon will have charge of the
Brooklyn aggregation. William Bar
ME is talked of as his successor in
Baltimore. Many persons are of the
opinion that there will be two leagues
of eight clubs each, under the govern
ing hand of the national league by
