New York, Sept, Ex-senator M. A.
Hanna, chairman of the republican ma
tional committee, reached New York
to-day from Southampton. In regard
to politics, he said the Philippine war
and industrial conditions would prove
great factors in 1900. He said he would
as soon have so-called anti-expansion
made an issue as the silver question,
for silver is an old man of the sea. The
republican party, he said, is just as
much opposed to the amassing OF
wealth in manner to injure the pub
lie as the democrats are.

of Value.

Before sending table linen to the
laundry, at this season especially, 1t
should be carefully looked over, and all
stains removed. Ordinarily, fruit
stains may be readily taken out by
spreading the stained part OF the fab
ric over the top of bowl and pour
ing hot water from the tea kettle
through the stain. Peach stains will
not yield to the treatment; but II
rubbed in alcohol before putting the
linen in water, they will usually disap'
pear. II more heroic measures are nee
essary, use Javelle water, but rinse
with the utmost thoroughness after
ward to prevent the eating OF the cloth.
An excellent hot-weather salad Is the
chiffonade. This consists Of nearly all
the salads in season; for instance, let
tuce, escarole, tomato, romaine, chic
ory, beets and celery, cut in long slices
The dressing for this salad is made as
follows: Take one hard-boiled egg and
mash II as fine as possible with fork;
then add two pinches Of paprika and a
pinch Of salt, half q teaspoonful OF
French mustard, teaspoonful OF
minced chives, two teaspoonfuls OF oil
and three Of vinegar. Shake well, add
to the salad, toss together and serve.
The pretty English custom of send
ing boxes Of wedding cake after a
quiet home wedding to relatives and
near friends of the bride and groom
is being rapidly adopted, and the
dainty white package tied with ribbon
and ornamented with the interlaced
monograms in silver Of bride and
groom form most attractive souvenirs
of the occasion. The boxes already
wrapped for distribution are furnished
by the caterer, and, 1t goes without
saying, add substantially TO the ex'
pense Of the wedding.
Javelle water may be made at home
by dissolving four pounds of washing
soda in four quarts Of soft water, Boil
ten minutes, take from the fire, and add
one pound Of chloride Of lime. Coo

Mr.. Clasgett b. Jones assumed charge
Of the senatorial conference bureau yes

charge OF the bureau two weeks ago."
said Mr.. Jones, 1.-THE information which
had led me to believe that there would
be 800 delegates at the conference.
Since coming back here. however, 1
have gone over the situation fully, ex-
aiming letters recently received. and
making use Of other sources of informa-
ton. The result is that / am not afraid
to predict that there will be 1900 dele
gates a the conference. That is a per-
fectly safe estimate. There is more like
ly to be a larger than a less number.
MY information leads me to believe
that the First, Second, Third. and Fourth
districts will send go delegates. The other
six districts will send 400. The latter is
very conservative estimate. The Eighth
District will have a very full delegation.
OF course. the delegation from the Ninth
and Tenth districts will be smaller, these
districts being SO much further from
Richmond"
CONTINUED FLOOD OF LETTERS.
The letters continue 10 pour in rapidly.
There IS a great demand for literature
on the subject Of the popular election OF
senators. The fact is that there is not
much matter in permanent form on this
subject Nearly all the leading papers or
the country have within the past few
years advocated the necessary constitu-
tional changes, but such editorial utter
ances are not now obtainable
4 gentleman from the Southwest stated
Yesterday that the farmers Of his county
were eagerly reading the editorial col
umns of the Dispatch these days, and
that as a result strong sentiment IN
favor Of the popular selection Of sena-
torial candidates was being developed.
THE TENTH DISTRICT.
Mr.. William a. Anderson promised at
the bureau before leaving for his home
I'm Lexington Wednesday that every coun-
ty i'm the Tenth District should be well
represented. There seems TO be no doubt
of his making good his promise Judging
from the reports received at headquar-
tiers. Rockbridge and Augusta will send
probably larger delegations than any
other counties in the state.
Hon. Afch +. NllhIoN, OF bath Nv"ii-
ty. and one of the most popular members
of the House of Delegates, has been heard
from. He wrote to the bureau yesterday
that he was advocating the conference
movement among his people. and that ne
