The Committee on Order of Business
recommended that the delegates be as
sessed 81 to pay the expenses of the
convention. This recommendation
brought forth a storm of disapproval
from country delegates, who thought
that the San Francisco delegates should
have provided for such expenses as
might be incurred.
After a. great deal of discussion the
81 assessment resolution was adopted.
after which the Chair announced the
committees. 80,
At the afternoon session Chairman
Gibson of the Committee on Time and
Place for the holding Of the next con-
yention reported in favor of Los An

ton Of President Mckinley. Governor
Budd is denounced for vetOing the ap-
preparation for the support of the

Trades Council.
The causes leading to the declaration
of war with Spain are briefly reviewed,
and the league pledges itself to aid the
President to plant the Stars and Stripes
over Manila, Porto Rico and Cuba.
The Nicaragua Canal project was in
dorsed in the following resolution, pre-
sented by Clio L. Lloyd Of Santa Bar
bara:
"The recent events in the existing
war with Spain, and the hazardous trip
of the battlteship Oregon around the
continent of South America, have de-
monstrated the military necessity. for
the existence of the Nicaragua Canal.
The Republican party of the State Of
California therefore advocates and
recommends that the United States
Government speedily open and main
tain a ship canal through the Isthmus
of Nicaragua, and we urge the passage
by Congress of appropriate legislation
to secure that tdesired result"

The crew of the Alert are now taking
the unused stores from that vessel. Her
flag will be hauled down. and she will

Care In Small Matters.

That household is the happiest and
best managed where the mistress looks
after small matters herself and requires
those under her to do likewise. Wear
and tear of domestic articles may be
considerably reduced if they are treated
intelligently. For example, tubs and
buckets are preserved from cracking it
a little water be left in them. Sauce
pans and kettles can be prevented from
rusting if when washed out they are
placed upon the fireplace, so that all
moisture may be evaporated by the heat.
Kitchen towels will last longer and keep
clean better if only used for one pur-
pose, if thoroughly dried after use and if
hung upon towel rollers when finished
with. Cinders should never be thrown
away before they are sifted, for the
larger pieces that would remain in the
sitter would form an excellent basis for
new fires, which they start very well,
provided some new coal be laid upon
the top. The ashes themselves are not
to be despised as a securing agent for
the greasy metal of buckets, saucepans
etc.

The best shirtmakers have sent out
their patterns for the summer, and
there is little or no difference from last
years styles. The sleeves are smaller
and there is perhaps trif1e less fullness
in the front. Yokes are made square or
pointed in the back, as is most becom-
ing. A plain band finishes the neck, SO
that either rundown or a high collar
can be worn. The preference is as yet
for the heavier wash materials, such as
madras and duck, and judging from the
samples of fancy white materials the
white shirts are to be as fashionable as
they were last year. The thin materials
are not among the new fabrics. When
they are used, they will be made up in
the fitted and more fancy waists. The
different shades of wood color, a steel
blue and a pink are among the new
shades.
Then there are the checks and plaids,
whose name is legion, but the different
patterns of white and tan are easily the
smartest. Among those that have yet
been shown there is one style that must
not be forgotten of plain color-darA
blue preferably-made with square OF
pointed yoke at the back, medium full
front and down the center of the front q
fiat plait edged on either side with a
ruff1e of sheer white linen. This is a
pretty style and looks very smart when
worn with white leather belt and white
linen collar, the blue and white COM
bination being perennial favorite for
summer. -Harper' Bazaar

cEREMONIouS CALLS.
Etiquette Observed by the Hostess N
Her Visitors.

Etiquette Observed by the Hostess and
Her Visitors.
Ceremonious calls should be paid be-
tween the hours of luncheon, about half
past 2 and half past 8 in the afternoon.
They ought never to be paid on Sunday.
The hostess must Immediately detach
herself from those with whom she may
be conversiug and step forward to greet
the newcomer and speak to her for a
few minutes until she finds a comfort
able seat. When visitor enters draw
ing room, she should study to enter with
self possession and composure. To some
nervous women it is undoubtedly an
awkward moment when entering room
full of possible strangers, but the ordeal
should be gone through with as smiling
face as may be, and it is, at the worst,
a very short ordeal, for, having shaken
hands and greeted you, the hostess will
hasten to pass you on to seat some
where in the room, SO that she may be
at liberty to receive other incoming
guests.
When entering a drawing room, it is
| a great mistake to stop and speak to
| friends until the hostess has been greet
F.. ed. It is enough to bow and smile and
| perhaps say in passing, "I'll see you
again presently" 1t is also not the best
[ taste to go round the room and shake
/ hands with every one of your acquaint
{ ance who may be present. 1t is better to
bow to those who may be farther off
and wait for the chance that may bring
them your way. Not, however, that it
would be incorrect once during the visit
to change your seat for one by an init
mate friend with whom you may wish
to speak.
We have SO far been regarding the
visitor as calling with number of 9TH
ers, but should a lady call and be shown
! into the empty drawing room. pending
the hostess arrival, she should take a
convenient seat and await her. It would
not be well for the lady of the house to
enter and find you standing, as though
complete tour and inspection of the
room had been your recent occupation.
| When two ladies call together, they
| should be careful that the hostess does
not come in and find them just conolud-
ing some private conversation.
An ordinary call of the kind we are
now considering should not exceed 25
! minutes unless its extension is urged
by the hostess. A first ceremonious visit
should never be longer than 3 minutes
Some ladies cut it down to 10.
Nothing is more tiresome than a
formal visit, for SO little interesting
conversation can be entered into, but
there are few subjects that must not
be touched upon-i. e., personal all
ments, domestic inconvenience and the
discussion of mutual friends, save in
the briefest and most kindly manner.
Gossip which at all times should right
ly be barred, must be especially SO dur
ing the course of short first call.

SPANS COLONIAL POsSEAsIONe.
Cuba One-Ninth of Area and One
Sixth Of Population.

Atlanta Constitution.
We should disabuse our minds of
the impression that Spain's colonial
possessions in the old world are re.
stricted mainly to the Philippines.
While poor even to beggary in
comparison with what she once
possessed, Spain lacks mu b of being
wholly and actually bereft. Her
possessions in Asia include the
Philippine islands, containing ia >
326 square miles and 100000 in
habitants; the Sulu islands, contain
ing $50 square miles and $4,000
inhabitants; the Caroline islands,
containing $50 square miles and
$4,000 inhabitants, and the Mari
anne islands, containing APO square
miles and TO- 72 inhabitants.
Her possessions in Africa include
Rio de Orc and Adrar, containing
243,OOO square miles and 100000
inhabitants; Fernando Pc Corsica
and San Juan, containing S5Osquare
miles and 10000 inhabitants, and
Ifui, containing twenty seven square
miles and 5000 inhabitants.
Spain's colonial possessions in
both hemispheres aggregate 4O5,-
33S square miles and 8 $4,000 in
habitants. We have not the figures
at hand showing the extent of her
interests in the Canary and Cape
Verde islands. In regard to Cuba
and Porto Rico, sufficient is known
already.
Cuba comprises only one ninth oil
SPANS colonial area, and only one
elk b OF her colonial population.
