The efficacy Of a fat bank account
and Willingness TO use it was again
exempified in Columbus yesterday,
when the investigating committee of
the Ohio senate utterly failed to get a

to answer a single question. From all
accounts il is doubtful if the Ohio leg

TO be a dizzy significance in the way
his friends are meeting those bribery
charges. Major Dick is reported as
declaring in his behalf that not a dol

the absence of proof to the contrary we
might be inclined TO accept the state

that the tactics Of the defense are to
prevent the witnesses from testifying?

theory Of innocence, to court the full

CROKER'S NEW YORK CLUB.
Silver Democratic Congressman, and
why They Withdraw.


Practically all the silver Democratic
Senators and Representative who at
first seemed pleased by the compli-
ment, have determined not to accept
membership in Mr.. CrOker's New York
Democratic Club. The reason is there
is a general belief, since so much has
been published concerning the aims Of
the organization. that the New York
Democrats. under the leadership. il not
domination, OF Croker are planning a
campaign, not only against Bryan, but
to control enough delegates To the next
national convention TO prevent the free
silver people from reafiirming the cur
rency plank of the Chicago platform.
Il did not understand the situation"
remarked Senator Daniel of Virginia.
Il thought it was a nice compliment
to be elected a member of the club,
really thinking it was a Democratic
organization, more on social than po-
Iitical lines"
Private" John Allen Of Mississippi
said that he would not accept men,
bership in the club. and humorous!y
added that soma of the Southern DEM
ocratic friends had better be careful
and that several had informed him
they intended TO confine their member
ship TO three organizations Only-The
Ku Klux. the Church and the Demo-
cratic party in order to be returned TO
Congress.

of Kansas said this morning that he

YIELDED TO THE DIPLOMATS.
The President and Mrs. Mckinley
Received Them Privately.

In order to prevent the utter annihi-
! lation of the geld-laee uniforms Of the
! diplomatic corps, and the wrecking of
their ladies finery which has been the
| case usually at other White House
| receptions, the President last night
| made a radical departure from Gus
| toms
The members of the corps were Civ
! en- an hour and a quarter in which TO
pay their respects to the President and
Mrs. Mckinley, in order to prevent
coming into cortact with the miscel-
laneOus multitude admitted at p. m.
Under former Administrations the
diplomatic reception at the White
House has been the climax OF crushes.
So dense has sometimes been the
throng, attracted perhaps chiefly by
the brilliant uniforms of the diplomats,
that women have literally had their
dresses torn from their bodies and men
have had their apparel utterly ruined.
The members of the corps determined
this time that they would not pose
for the edifcation of the crowd, and
representations were delicately made
To Secretary Sherman that unless
limit was placed on the invitations to
this reception the members or the corps
would wear nothing but regulation
evening dress.
To avoid the appearance of the corps
in w-hammer coats an order was is
sued limiting the invitations. But
through persuasion and influence this
number was increased to 5000.
When this became known Secretary
Sherman was informed that the mem
bers of the corps would not wear their
state dress unless they were received
alone and given an opportunity TO de-
part before the invited guests were
admitted.
In obedience to their wishes notice
was given that the corps would be ad-
mitted from AS TO 9 p. m. During
that period none of the other inviteG
guests were permitted access to the
White House or grounds.
This arrangement left it optional with
the members of the corps To leave af-
ter greeting the President and Mrs.
Mckinley or TO remain and be jostled
by the crowds.
Private Secretary Porter issued a
manifesto at the eleventh hour stating
that the diplomats could remain il
they desired. The members of the
corps recognized the permission to re-
main as command from the President
to do So and a large proportion yield
ed.

However that may be, it is COM
pletely evident that a serious mistake
has been made down in that region.
In 1896 the Republican party polled
$4,000 votes in Louisiana. At the State
election last week this was cut down
to miserable showing of $500. As ar
illustration of the gravity of this
change, it should be noted that the
Louisiana law does not allow an Off
cial ballot TO any party polling less
than ten per cent Of the votes at the
previous election. Under this law the
Republican party, as such, has ceased
to exist i'm Louisiana. The President
is said to be much exercised over such
startling result. Delegations now in
the city from New Orleans, have de.
clared to the Administration that Mr..
McKinley's insistence upon appointing
notoriously disreputable characters to
high office, in payment OF pledges made
TO them when they packed the Louis
lana delegation TO st. Louis for him, has
led to the withdrawal from the party

was a dainty affair, and the ialer took
it up gingerly. Nothing like il had ever
been seen in the East Cambridge jail
before.
Next came a silk negligee shirt in
small black and white pattern. After

Almost without exception these dreams
might become realities if mothers would
only teach their daughters the most com
mon sense facts about their own physical
makeup, and advise them how to protect
themselves from the perils of the three
critical periods of their lives-puberty or
maturity, motherhood and the turn of
life" Women at these times suffer from
irregularities and weaknesses which, If
neglected, will develop into dangerous dis
eases and make their whole lives wretched.
The delicate organs that make wifehood

motherhood will be a menace of death.

Italian, French, Spanish Connections

tFrom the Oentleman's MdEaLiue.i
1t was not from either Italy or France
that we got the best cUnfections i'll the
earlier days of English cookery. Spain
notably Toledo, furnished England with tie
most celebrated pastry cooks or pasteleros
as they are called, though we have since
looked most TO France for these artists.
Under the patronage OF Bloody Mary
and OF Queen Henrietta Maria, Spanish
methods floprished apace IN the court cui-

This Malaga potato was not the potato
now in common use, but the yam or sweet
potato of Virginia, first brought to England
by Sir Walter Raleigh in 5S4, and out of
which our present garden or common po-
tato has evolved. Harrison in his chronicle
speaks of the Virginia potato as brought
out of Spain, Portugal and the Indies to
furnish up our banquets,' and states that
they were in his time beginning to have a
place I'm English gardens. These potatoes
were doubtless candied as are now the
