LIFE OF AN ARAB WOMAN.
She Rarely Leaves Her House After She Is
Married Until Buried.

Many an Arab lady never leaves her house
from the time she is married until she is car
ried out to be buried. A woman of the middle
class is allowed more liberty, and occasional
ly goes out for walks, accompanied, as rule
by servant. The poor creature is enveoped
in masses of white drapery, which makes her.

face she arranges large black scarf en-

that she does not get run over when she goes.

from a distance they might be men, with

which, after all, is rather considerate on her
part. Even the greater number of negresses
wear the yashmak, but the Bedouin women
never do. Indeed, am told that in the in
terror there is one Arab tribe whose men wear
wells and whose women go about with their
faces uncovered. These are probably the
new women of Arabia.

FOOD SUPPLY IN PALACES.
Large Sums Made from the Sale of Unused
Stuff


Here are some interesting statistics in re-
gard to the food which is served in royal pal
aces, but which is not used by the host or
guests. The chief cook of Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria estimates that of the l.
200 francs which are spent each year on
the imperial table more than half a million
francs are spent on unused food or 'leav-
ings." The per quisites from a single ban
quet which was given on the occasion of the
jubilee amounted to more than twenty thou
sand francs. The unused food and especially
the wines, are sold after each meal to the
principal restaurants of Vienna, and in this
way the cooks and their assistants contrive
to obtain twice, and often even three times,
as much as is paid to them each month by
the enlperor's steward. In Italy and Spain
this leakage (no other word seems appro-
priate) has within the last few years been
reduced to a minimum. The emperor of Ger
many has also set his face against this ex-
travagan 1t is said that he makes a con-
tract with the proprietor of one of the first
hotels in Berlin who guarantees to furnish

court for the fixed sum of twenty marks

A New England Woman's Interesting Per-

eyes, not very large, but wonderfully intense,

and the external appearance of a woman of
unique personality. 1t is the head of Mar
cella wrapped in dense folds of dusky hair
and set proudly on the slim pillar of perfect
throat.
When lectured in England they used to
tell me that l did not look a bit like an

other a revolted Quaker!'"
There is an aptness in both suggestions that
strikes, one at once. Yet Mrs. Stetson is
thoroughgoing American, born in Connecticut
and known well in the West. The great
granddaughter of Lyman Beecher, the grand
nice of Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet
Beecher Stowe it is not to be wondered at
that this little woman is quick of brain and
wit, erratic or temperament and ardent both
as poet and preacher.

sermon in Unitarian church some time ago.
The people did listen to that sermon you may
be sure. Again some one asked to what de-
nomination she belonged. Il belong to none
they all belong to me- was her immediate
response.
Mrs Stetson is worker along sociological
lines, yet there is a Well-defined element of
luxury in her nature. She has a keen love
of fun, yet her most ambitious work makes
solemn, serious reading. She is al once ortho-
dox and heterodox, logical and illogical. She
talks learnedly about art in costume, yet does
not care for dress a bit. She will frankly
criticise her own. work in one breath and as
frankly praise it in the next. Take it for all

careful that no money shall be wasted in the
royal kitchen. In the imperial palaces of
Russia the .leavings" must be considerable.
Every day between five and six hundred
francs worth of wines and cigars are fur
mshed for the imperial banquet, and there
is strict rule that no bottle, whether opened
or not, shall be presented twice at the Cars
table. 1t is said that this rule is rigidly en-
forced, and, if so, it can readily be seen that
the lot of a chef in Russian royal palace is
by no means unhappy.

ton to me to second the nomination of
man judge and citizen, General Isaac
r. Sherwood. Who, more than he, can
unite all the anti-Republican elements
of the state and muster them in solid
phalanx against the vulger and brutal
Hanna-Cox combine? Who is better
fitted than he to lead the grand army of
the plain people of Ohio, against the
combined forces of Imperialism, militar-
ism, bossism and the trusts? General
Sherwood is the "Old Bill Allen" of
Ohio, and is the man now needed to res
cue the state from the curse of Hanna
ism. His services as Secretary of State
his services in Congress- his services on
the bench as the servant of the people,
are unstained by either of the crimes
of the jobber or the waste of the profli-
gate. If there is a delegate in this con-
vention hall that believes in imperial
ism or militarism, let him curse the
name of General Sherwood, for he was
the first man in Ohio to raise his voice
against 1t and warn the people of its
impending dangers. But if you believe
in the deathless doctrines of the greatest
document that ever emanated from the
mind of man, then honor his name.
And now, after he has spent the best
years of his life in fighting for equality,
justice and humanity, let us befit this
occasion by selecting as our standard
bearer this grand old man, General

TEST OF STRENGTH.
1t Came on a Motion to Seat the
Wilson Delegation In the
Convention.
Special to News-Democrat.


GAINESVILLE, Aug 9O.-The big struggle
in the convention this afternoon was
on the proposition of the credentials
committee to seat the Salen delegation,
of Cleveland, which included the friends
of Mayor Farley and other old line
Democrats. When the committee made
its report to the convention Mayor
Moore, of Youngstown, made motion
that the Wilson, or kid delegation, of
Cuyahoga county, be substituted for the
Salen delegation. 1t was known that
the Wilson delegation was opposed to
Mclean and that the Salem Farley dele
CATION was the Mclean delegation. So
when Mayor Moore made that motion
1t predicted test of strength To lose
the Cuyahoga delegation meant some
thing to Mclean and to seat the Wilson
delegation meant much to other can
didates. 1t is known that General
Sherwood expected considerable sup
port from the Wilson delegation and
for that reason Stark county was will
ing to cast number of votes to bring
1t about. AS the roll call continued the
IHleTeSI was dI lhS blShCoI tCiSiOh
The vote was breathlessly awaited and
when it was announced a great shout
went up, for Mclean had won. The
vote stood
For the Wilson delegation, 344.
For the Salem delegation, 3S9.
This was a complete victory, and was
looked upon as forecasting the nominee
1t did not represent the entire McLear
strength, for a number of the McLear
delegates voted for the Wilson crowt
for personal and other reasons. Starl
county voted 12 for Wilson and fol

This vote was taken at 12:45 o'clocl
and the convention broke into disorde
