The degree of LII. D. has been con-
ferred upon President Mckinley thir-
teen times by various colleges. There
is something of the regretable in the
manifest rush by our institutions of
higher education recently to bestow
their honors literally and upon many
persons who, in spite of their war
glory, cannot nationally be presumed
to have suddenly become profound
scholars. There is some warrant for
making doctors of President Mckinley
and men like him who have spent busy
lives in the study and practice of great
undertakings, but a warrior or popu-
lar hero is not made greater by a pa

fdisintegraee the democratic organiza-
ton. They remember the beautiful
promises which the populists of the
west made in 1896. They remember
how the southern states were torn
away from the democrats of the north
who had always stood by them and
Joined themselves TO the p0pudsts of
the west, with the result that all the
great states of the north and west re-
pudiated Mr.. Bryan and free silver,
and the south found itself in company
with q few of tho silver producing
states of the west.
Morgan and men like him are not
willing to repeat this experiment..
They know that the democratic party
has a great mission. They know that
f free silver is to be, the time for it is
not now. They know that the great
principles of democracy are of far
greater importance than any one pol
icy of finance. Therefore, they are
unwilling to sacrifice everything to
free silver. They believe that it is
the duty of democracy to preserve Inc
integrity of the democratic party that
republicanism may be comb3tted. They
beieve that it is the duty of the demo-
cratic party TO win and their great
concern now is to retire ths one ques-
ton upon which democrats are 1ivid-
ed and to bring the eastern and west
ern and northern and southern demo-
cr3ts together upon a common plat
form, cordially united, armed with
Jefersonian principles, and fully equip
ped to meet the republican vote. The
advocates of free silver have always
been noted for their much talking,

FREE SILVER OR BUST"
Conservative Democrats Not Willing
to Repeat the Experiment.

The extreme silver men in the demo-
cratic party are now training their
guns upon Senator Morgan of Ala
bama, and other conservative demo-
Gratis like him who hold that the party
has no chance of success next year if
it fight the battle Of 1896 over again.
The extreme men insist that they do
not want victory unless they can have
it through Bryan and free silver. They
insist upon the policy of free silver
or bust and Morgan and other con-
servativeS will hereafter be relegated
by them to the ranks of gold demo
Gratis and traitors
The St. Louis Mirror, one of the
most enthusiastic of Mr.. organs sup
porters, insists that the nomination is
his "by every consideration Of decent
politics." and that the democrats will
drop him at their peril Nominate
any other man, it says, and the party
would lose two million of the six and
a half million votes which Bryan poll
ed in 1896. Drop Bryan and all the
populist votes ar5' dropped. Abandon
Bryan and the Chicago platform is
meaningless"
But in spite Of this sof's of talk from
the extreme men. the conservatives
are gu; city getting in their work. The
conservative movement is growing
every day. Morgan and men like him

There are few who will not long to be

Scythian in the West Indies"
Miss Days Scythian is a yacht Of
such perfect equipment that it offers
comfort under the most trying condi-
tons. The staterooms are exquisitely
appointed bed rooms; the sitting room
is SO comfortable that the captain
could not make the slightest pretense
of roughing it. The cruise she describes
was undertaken by party of four, the
| captain, another woman and two men.
1t was difficult, she says, to convince
the West Indian authorities that Miss
Day really did manage her own boat.
Doctors, pilots, harbormasters were all
sadly confused at having to reckon with
woman. (which Of you," exclains

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT.
Rules That Metamorphose Thin Women
Into Plump Figures.


Thin people are distinctly out of
fashion. The Venus of Milo figure is
emphatically the correct model for the
modern daughters of the gods and
bony divinities are incongruities. So
the thin woman is at present spend
ing her time developing.
The physiological cause of leanness
is the inability of the system to digest
and assimilate the oils in the foods.
These are digested or emulsified oils
which may be taken with benefit by
too-thin woman. Any emulsion of cod
liver Oil that Is fresh and pure Is food,
and If continued is certain to have eff

At the same time the digestive tract

outdoor exercise particularly in the
country, where there are no nerve
destroying noises and plenty of sooth-

the plan which will eventually put
flesh upon the bones.
Let exercise be followed always by
short rest, good food and just as much
sleep as can be had. Sit on the warm
ground in the sun, with the head, hands
and face protected and sleep. Horse
back riding, walking, golf and croquet
are all good. but not swimming in cold
water, playing tennis or indulgence in
any vigorous exercise.
To develop special muscles, or fill out
hollows. particular exercise should be
taken. Filling out the face is more
tedious than the building Of muscles in
other parts of the body, but there is
set of exercises for every muscle in the
body. Usually the face is the first
place to show an increase of flesh. The
neck, bust, shoulders and arms may
be the last to improve and can be help

SKIPPER OF HER OWN YACHT.
New York Bellies Hazardous Experiences
in the Scythian.

Miss Susan De Forest Day Of New
York is the capable skipper of her own
yacht. Miss Day has just returned in
her steam yacht Sycthian from
cruise along the desolate coast of Lab
rator. She is dark-haired and petite
and hazel-eyed, and when seen ashore
does not seem at all like the woman
to seek danger af1oat.
THE last trip of the scythan," said
Captain Day, was a rough journey,
which few yachts could have stood,
but we came out without a scratch.
Our last trip of Importance was
down to the West Indies. Just summer
all the time, the perfection of nature,
and an abundance of her luxuries. I
enjoyed every minute of it. But there
was nothing exciting about it. This
summer I wanted something different
from any place I ever saw or read
about. I knew there wouldn't be any
luxuries of nature to admire up there
except a luxuriant wildness and l was
not disappointed in supposing we would
not be afflicted with calm and spirit
