LACES Fer MY LADY'S GOWN.

Duchess lace is rich guirure and
the rose figure in il is the great favor-
lie. Mechlin is q combination of deli
cate net and braid, something like
Nalenciennes.
Nalsrciennes lace may be had from
80 cents up In the more expensive and
rarely seen kinds an eighth-inch width
might cost 1925 yard and it would not
BE m eXorbitant price.
Chantilly lace is so gossamer-like
that IL is a great favorite for alI-over
lGce dresses. II is made by machinery,
the only Chantilly lace gown made by
hand being sold for $4,000.
Of pillow laces. the best known are

Olympia two years ago one now goes to see Marie Dressler in "The Man In the Moon.' or, what is better to witness the cleaner specialties of what George W.! Lederer calls '"Fhe Aerial Magnolia Grove" or in other words the New York roof garden.
 Since Anna Held, in La Poupee, brought Hammerstein to grief, the Olympia has re- mained closed. MT. Leaderer. however, leased the theatre this season, opening with "The Man In the Moon," and the old fayers of the Olympia I am sure are gay enough with brilliant throngs these summer nights to enrich the coffers of any New York theatrical manager that lives The specialties are so superior that one is not surprised at the popularity of the New York roof garden. They are quite ahead of any put on at other similar places
 Among the favorites who are still delight ing New York audiences are Christopher Bruno, more familiarity known as "Ges," Hawthorne Marie Dresser, who came up for a song at the eleventh hour. and Mag gie Cline. The roof garden is new venture for the latter, for as you all know nothing short of starring has contented the Irish Queen. She of course sings Throw Him Down, McKloskey," for the audience de- mands it. This is the song which made her famous, and those who care for Maggie Cline will not be content without the old song. She is thoroughly unchanged, bro gueish, mouthed, loud, but it seems to me something that takes you away from everyday things to see the enthusiasm of an audience over a stage favorite, even should it be only Maggie Cline, with her big mouth. It was just the same when metropolitan audiences went wild over Campanini
 When somebody else gets Maggie Cline's plaudits as De ResZke got Campanis, there will be many regrets, for the Irish Queen is not without friends.
 Marie Dressler comes on for her song in a gorgeously jetted gown. "I will give you" she says in answer to enccres. "a little imitation of Camille DArvile's For This by Reginald De Koven, which you may be sure is done as well as Miss Dressler's limitations in voice will allow.
 There are other favorites at the various roof gardens, but for clever specialties, for life and gaiety and brilliant throng one will find it all at the New York Roof gar den, otherwise known as the old Olympia

WHO WILL FIRST
 NOMINATE BRYAN An Awkward Question for the
 Democratic Party. INTENTION OF POPULISTS Will Surely Place the Name of the Me- braskan at Head of Ticket-Root's
 Policy in Regard to the
 Philippine Islands.
INTENTION OF POPULISTS

Washington, August A.-6speciaL)-Th populists threaten to put the democrats into a very awkward position if the latter do not hold their national convention first From now until next spring it will be a race between them as to which will nomi- nate MT. Bryan first. The populist lead- CTS make no secret of their intention. They wish to nominate a ticket and either let MT. Bryan decline their nomination when they would put another ticket in the field nominee.
 The awkwardness of such a position is clearly understood by the democrats, who are now talking of holding their conven- warm weather sets in. This programme, if carried out, will complicate mat-er a good deal as it will force the election of delegates much sooner than the states are accustomed to think about the matter.
 But any trouble of this character they think is better than to have the populists meet in advance of the democrats and nominate MT. Bryan. The democrats do not want to see their leader ticketed by the opposition in 1900 as populist candi- date, nor do they want to give an excuse to the free silver populist to break away from the Nebraskan. This is the reason that they give for getting the Bryan ticket into the field as soon as possible.

IMPORTANT CAPTURE
Officers Get Negro and Trunk Filled
 With Burglars Tools

Deputy Sheriff Will Love of this city, Deputy Constable D. w. Waite of St. Clair county, and J. W. Cosper, tax assessor of the same county, made an important capture at Gate City yesterday in tine shape of a trunk filled with stolen goods, alleged to have been Ntaken from the store of Waite & Maddox at Easonville.
 Messrs. Waite and Cosper secured search warrant from Justice Abernathy, and. securing the services of Deputy Love, they proceeded immediately to the home of Martin Cunningham, a negro, suspected of the theft.
 Arriving there, they found the trunk as expected. It was opened and disclosed complete burglars outfit, consisting of bottle of powder, a bottle of glycerine, a dozen bits, with braces, miners candles and fuses. They dived deeper into the trunk and brought to light quantity of goods, supposed to have been stolen from Waite 6 Maddox.
 John Graves, colored. is an inmate of the St. Clair county jail, and his trunk was deposited with Waite & Maddox. Ii is al- legged that Cunningham entered the store of Waite & Maddox and stole lot of goods, Graves trunk being among the things taken. Graves wife accompanied the off, cers when they searched Cunninghams house and readily identified the goods as her husand's.
 United States Commissioner Cornish has been notified of the circumstances. The federal authorities will probably investigate the case fully. Messrs. Waite and Cosmer returned to St. SClair yesterday afternoon with the trunk. It was a splendid pieoe of detective work on their part and they were the recipients of many congratula- tions
 A gang of criminals has been system atica,iy bNrglarizing the stores of country merchants recently and it is suspected that Graves Is connected with this gang.

AN OLD CANOE.

By Albert Pike. Where the rocks are gray and the shore is
 steep, And the waters below look dark and deep, Where the rugged pine, in it's lonely pride Leans gloomily over the murky tide, Where the reed sand rushes are long and
 rank, And the weeds grow thick on the winding Where the shadow is heavy the whole day
 through, There lies at it's moorings the old canoe. The useless paddles are idly dropped Like seabirds wings that storms had
 lopped And crossed on the railing one OCT one Like the folded hands when the work is
 done, While busily back and forth between The spider stretches his silvery screen, And the solemn owl, with his dull too
 hoo" Settles down on the side of the old canoe. The stern haf-sunk in the slimy wave Rots slowly away in it's living grave, And the green moss creeps OCT it's dull de-
 cay, Hiding it's moulding dust away, Like the hand that plants OCT the tomb a
 flower Or the ivy that mantles the falling tower; While many a blossom of loveliest hue Springs up OCT the stern of the old canoe. The currentless waters are dead and still But the light wind plays with the boat at will, And lazily in and out again It floats the length of the rusty chain, Like the weary march of the hands of time, That meet and part at the noontide chime; And the shore is kissed at each turning
 anew, By the dripping bow of the old canoe. Oh. many a time, with a careless hand, I have pushed it away from the pebbly
 strand, And padded it down where the stream
 runs quick, Where the whirls are wild and the eddies
 are thick, And laughed as leaned Der the rocking
 side, And looked below in the broken tide, To see that the faces and boats were two That were mirrored back from the old ca
 noe. But now, as I lean Der the crumbfng side, And look below in the sluggish tide, The face that see there is graver grown, And the laugh that hear has soberer
 tone, And the hands that lent to the light skin
 wings, Have grown familiar with sterner things, But love to think of the hours that sped As I rocked where the whirls their white
 spray she'd Ere the blossoms waved, or the green grass
 grew Der the colding stern of the old canoe.

Vaults for Court Papers

The justices of the supreme court have never felt restful since the fire in their court room several months ago. They have finally prevailed upon the architect of the capitol to construct fire-proof vaults in the basement where all the documents and papers of the court are stored.
 The architect told the justices that the big open fires they had in their consulting and committee rooms were an element of danger, but he could not gain the consent of one to put steam in the apartments and close the fire-places. The justices are par tial to the big open fires of hickory logs, and will allow no other kind of heat in their court or private rooms. These are by no means the cheapest of fires. but they produce good ventilation and are in high favor generally in the capitol, even some of tine senators insisting upon hav- ing them in their committee rooms
 Speaking of the justices and their wood fires recalls a good remark of President Lincoln about their gowns one day. Meet ing his old friend, Justice Miller. one day, President Lincoln asked: "Iow are the justices and their gowns?'
 "Very well, believe" said Justice MIL Ter"
 Miller, you were brought up on a farm," continued the president, "and remember seeing the breaking up of new land, clear ing the ground and burning timber. You have seen the bark fall from the decayed logs and from under the bark would come great winged black ants, which would wad- de off in the clumsiest and funniest kind of dignity. We'll, Miller, never see one of you justices in your long gowns but think of these funny ants" A. w. B.

The Philippine Campaign

The decision of the president at the in- stigation of Secretary Root to go right ahead and enlist men sufficient to bring the war in the Philippines to a close is being strongly endorsed by all persons. The expansionists want quick and decis- i've campaign and those who oppose the permanent retention of the archipelago do not believe that the results in the Philip pines will effect the final issue of imper- ialism at all.
 Secretary Root is following the cam paign very closely. He has had prepared an enormous map of the islands on which there Is any fighting and each city and town is carefully marked. He is following the army with a system of flags very much like those the president used in his war map with Spain last year. The secre- tary intends to push the fighting on Luzon island and either crush'-the rebellion by force or else put General Otis where he can treat with the Philippine generals without their construing his overtures as any thing of a defeat or desire to com promise the main issue.
 The administration is very hopeful that Aguinaldo will seek to surrender when he sees that the government is determined to carry the war on and to furnish all the men necessary for a successful issue. Sec retary Root believes that his obstinacy Is due largely to the fact that this govern ment has shown Itself lukewarm in the conduct of the campaign.
