Facts Are Lacking.
From the Mobile Register.

It IOIII VIIV 4'IVDIIV INVB IoIVT'
Those who, like Champ Clarke, see
inevitable success for the Democratic
party in the next campaign, are getting
their inspiration from the thought that
the free silver policy will sweep gold
Democracy off it's feet in the Eastern
and Middle states and the Eastern Demo-
cracy, thus brought into line with the
Democratic party of the rest of the
country, will then carry the electoral
vote of those states for Bryan. The
facts to back the thought seem to be
lacking. In truth. they point the other
way. The Maryland Democracy, for
example, has receded from its rather
advanced position in 1897, when it de-
clared for international bimetallism. This
year its platform is absolutely silent on
the financial question.

Gambler of Georgia.
From the Syracuse Post-standard.

FROM the syracuse Post-Standard.
Governor Gambler of Georgia. is rapidly
developing a reputation as o man of re-
source and determination. The way TO
stop a lynching, according to Governor
Gamblers idea, is to be on the spot where
1t Is likely to occur, and he did so at
Newman the other day, taking command
of the militia and causing the safe re-
moval of the prisoner TO the Atlanta
jail. Gambler would make good army
official, but he is needed more in Georgia
than he is in LuZon.

Liquid Air for Microbes.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Inasmuch as frost is the recognized
antidote for yellow fever, the sugges-
tion is made that in cases like the pres
ent situation at Hampton, where frost
is not to be expected for many weeks,
frost conditions may be had by the use
of liquid air. The experiment seems
worth trying, for, at the worst, it would
be harmless and inexpensive, while In
theory, at least, the process would be
identical with the natural one-merely
the freezing out of the tender fever MI
Crobe.

General Toral was acquitted of the
crime of surrendering Santiago by the
Spanish court martial, not because 1t
was an exhibition of good sense but
because he simply obeyed the orders OF
his superior officers. If the government
follows up the superior officers the i'm
preston that Spain is looking for q
scapegoat will be verified.

Cannot Boycott the Jail.
From the Troy Times.

There is one institution In Cleveland
that the riot sympathizers cannot boy
colt, and that is the Jail. And from pres
ent appearances some Of the boycotters
are likely to learn the fact by harsh ex-
perience. When boycotting takes the
form Of preventing physicians from min
istering to their patients and stopping
druggists from preparing prescriptions,
with fatal results to the sick persons, 1t
comes perilously near murder, and those
guilty of such barbarism should be made
to feel the strong hand of the law.

Recipe for Good Government.
From the Elmira Advertiser.

The man who really wants TO secure
and to continue good government must
go to the caucuses always If possible
and must go TO the conventions when
chosen for that purpose. He must, final
ly, vote with both courage and common
sense and keep doing these things all his
adult life.

a woman Of excellent taste, an estimate
in which I'm sure you will concur.
The best ball I've attended was given
by Amy's aunt. It was the SWEETEST
function of the season. The fashion for
wearing flowers in the hair was much
seen, but no one displayed II more
prettily than the debutante, Amy, with
her wreath Of three pure white roses
and the rest green leaves on her fair
hair. Rather classical features are
needed to suit the wreath. The Geisha
bouquets in purple flowers were becom-
ing to another girl, and noticed a
cluster of pink roses worn very low
down on the shoulders of a slender wo-
man, looking very old world and sweet.
Sometimes a tiara of diamonds, es-
pecially a short one, mingles grace
fully with flowers, clasping a wreath
set on at the back of the couture, or a
high crown with flowers lying fiat in
front of il.
There's a fresh faced English woman
at the Inn who is better hated than
the majority. She wears those supple
crinoline straws in biscuit color with a
tiny thread of color woven in. Nothing
is more amenable to the formation Of
those delicious curves, which a we'll
modelled hat should take. Usually the
brim is lifted rather to the left of the
front and beneath cluster fiowers-big
pOppies for choice just now-while
above aigrets of oats mingle with the
gay blooms of the country. These re-
mind US of fields and whisper that the
season is at its close, wherefore even
the hydrangea withdraws into well in
tentioned seclusion. 1t is a blossom OF

sion at the cost Of thousands Of dollars.
Upon entering the main conservatory.
in the center OF which is a grove OF the
palms. the East Indian house is found
to the left. Passing from this house,
the next is that OF cypripediums, con-
tanning over 500 specimens.
Beyond Is the Mexican house. which
is literally a mass of bloom. Many Of
the plants carry from two to six spikes
of brilliantly colored blossoms. Con-
spicuous among them is the rare Laelia
dawsoni, bearing several flowers OF a
most exquisite type. Another prom
inent one is the Laelia anceps alba,
measuring over four feet square.
The Cattleya house has a fine show
ing Of blossoms and provides a distinc-
tive charm in its superb specimens.
Taken in its entirety, the collection fills
seven houses, and II is conceded to be
one of the most valuable in America.
Many of the smaller plants cost from
$500 to $500 each, and others OF the
unique varieties would fetch thousands
even at forced sale.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of Mrs. Wilson's collection is the as
semblage of varieties that come from
the Philippine Islands. The Spanlards
made the collectors pay a license for
hunting orchids there, but despite that
method of coaXing ducats from Amer
lean pockets many unique plants came
from the group. Under the new regime.
when Aguinaldo and his followers shall
have ceased to struggle, the influx of
plants from Uncle Sans new domain
will without doubt be greatly increased.
Mrs. Wilson is now in Mexico. directly
overseeing the work OF her agents there
who are searching for Mexican orchid
wonders. Her superintendent is not a
sinecure, nor is it the work Of an ANA
teur. The owner Of this giant orchid
collection is fully conversant with the
habits of her pet plant and OF the laws
which govern them.
She has made a scholarly study OF
the flower, and believes in putting the
knowledge she has acquired into prac-
teal application. When at home. every
thing is under her own personal super
vision,

the town, and should be satisfied now,
for a time at least, with the huge pop
ularity 1t has been permitted to enjoy
a popularity that has been strictly re-
served to polite circles owing to the
handsome price OF these flowers, as well
as their somewhat singular beauty.
Children cut quite a swath at this
place, and some of the cutest examples
Of the rising generation romp on cot
tage piazZas or with shovels and buck
cts march in a small parade along the
beach. Old fashioned nankeen suits
are clothing some of the smart little
boys of from to z. They are very
quaint and make the small, fat crea-
lures look like Humpty Dumpties. One
expects to see the curious buttoned cap
with its lordly tassel on their heads
and wide collar edged with lace. Col
ored linens of quite vivid shades or
green and rose are also used to create
these suits, and the knickerbockers fas-
ten over the straight little jacket and

WASTED. But white is always the wee
lads ideal wear, with a white sailor hat
banded with blue.
From one extreme to the other I go
in my chatter, for I shall now talk of
old folks, or rather describe a mag
nificent gown worn by a dear grande
dame, who ordered it for the Duchess of
ball, where she went with
Mrs. Arthur Paget. The dress was an
evening one in beautiful black Maltese
guipure; and / never before realized
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1899-08-13

what a wonderfully rich looking lace
that is. The whole overskirt was of
guipure, most beautifully shaped and
edged in waves with a fringe of scintil
lating jet fringe which fell over killed
fiounces of black point d'esprit net on
which a fiounce>sf Maltese guipure was
placed. To obviate the possibility of a
too fiat effect at the back, which would
not be becoming to a lady of a certain
age, a fiounce of the guipure fell in
graceful jabot from waist>to hem. So
much impressed was that 1 endeavor-
ed to learn the name of the dressmaker,
who really appeared to trouble about
the requirements of elderly women.
But she guarded her secret, giving an
excuse that she didn't care to see a
replica of her pet gown. as such an ex-
perience always upset her feminine
equanimity. / admired her honesty,
but regretted her conviction.
OF course you received my telegram
and letter following which explained
my inability to come down Wednesday
as expected. Aunt Hetty made up her
mind so suddenly to sail that there was
little time for anything but getting her
ready to start. The date you've set an
swers every purpose, and understand,
dear, that the house party was planned
for and the number complete. It's al
ways right not to interfere with your
husbands arrangements. and especially
is it true in behalf of your own family.
Brothers-in-law are peculiar people,
but give mine love and keep a lions
share for yourself. Affectionately,
Daisy MAY.
