Not InfAllible-

Harriet Martineau. the English au- thor, was shrewd and practical and had what men are pleased to call "mas- culine intellect. But she was not al. ways correct in her deductions, a fact illustrated by the following anecdote, told in her Memoirs, by Sir Charles Murray, who was then the English con. sul general in Egypt:
 One afternoon we met at the villa of my old friend, s. W. Larking, on the banks of the Mahamoudieh canal. In the course of our stroll through the gar den we came to a small gate, the pat. tern of which was new to Miss Mar tiDeau, who was walking in front.
 She stopped. and looking at the gate in an attitude of intense admiration ex- claimed:
 "How truly oriental What wonder ful taste these easterns have ip designP'
 She went on, and as Larking and ] followed through the gate he whispered to me, 'I got it out last week from Birmingham"

PEACE COMMISSIONERS.
Judge White Declines and Senator Gray
 Oncred the Vacant Place

Judee White Declines and Senator Gray
 onored the Vacant Place
 Washington. Sept. Tt may be said positively now that MT. White of the United States supreme court has fully declined the tender of membership in the Spanish-American peace commits sion. The president has been aware for several days of the decision of Jus tice White, but for various reasons did not make 1t public. As a matter Of fact, no official announcement was ever made of his selection as a member of the commission. although 1t was semi- officially understood that the tender 4 place on the commission had been made him.
 In the same way it is now under stood that the vacant place on the commission has been offered to Senator Gray of Delaware, one of the leading Democratic members of the senate and a member of the minority on the foreign relations committee. Senator Gray had a long o erence with the president to- day, the conference relating partly to the work of the Canadian commission, of which Senator Gray is a member, and partly to the peace commission. While the senator has not definitely in- dicated his acceptance of the peace commissionership, 1t Is regarded as not unlikely that he will finally be the fifth member of the commission.

The Butler faction. led by Mir Palmer of Illinois, then left the hall and the other factions proceeded with the nominations.
 A platform was adopted which incor- porated the provisions of the Omaha platform. as well as the address adopt ed at the morning session The declara- tions in the platform do not differ from those of other platforms, except in the plank which specially denounces Sena- tor Marion Butler of North Carolina as chairman of their national committee for attempting ito drive the Populist party into the Democratic organiza- ton" The resolutions also provide for the reorganization of the party, with Milton Park of Dallas as chairman.
