to vote for more than one candidate
for this Office and as there will be two
elected, each of the parties will no
doubt get one.
The convention was called to order
at 1910 p. m. by State Chairman Rill-
ing. Temporary Chairman Brinton
of Lancaster made a brief speech con-
graduating the democracy on it's fight
in 1896 and 1898 His mention of the
name of Bryan as the great leader of
the democracy was received with the
widest applause. The platform, as
prepared by the executive committee
was adopted by the resolutions COM
mittee. A motion to amend by MAX
ing a straight out declaration in favor
of the Chicago platform was defeated
by viva vOce vote. On the trust ques-
ton the platform says: 1--WE are OPP
posed to all combinations of capital
calculated to produce monopoly, or
restrain trade as being inconsis-
tent with the spirit of free institutions;
and, if their establishment cannot be
constitutionally prevented, we hold
that they should be so regulated and
limited by proper legislation that indI-
vidual effort and opportunity shall not
be impaired Adherence to 'the
principles of the party as declared in
the platforms of our several national
conventions" is declared. The Conven-
ton stated that it is proud of our
matchless leader, William Jennings
Bryan" and that "the issues involved
in the coming campaign in Pennsyl-
vania are honest government, clean
politics and the redemption of our state
from republican misrule and corruD-
ton The platform closes with these
words: eve glory and rejoice in the
patriotic devotion to the cause of our
country in the late war with Spain, of
the brave and noble men who periled
their lives and shed their blood in or
der that conflict waged for human
ity's sake might be brought to a speedy
and triumphant close" The conven-
ton adjourned at midnight until today.

HUNGARY'S VICTORY
AUSTRIA ACQUIEsCEs IN ALL OF
HER DEMANDS.
DEATH BLOW TO UNION
After 1907 Hungary Will Be at Liberty
to Conclude Separate Commercial
Treaties With Foreign Countries
and Establish Her Own Customs
Tariff and Her Own Bank.

Buda Pest, June 15.-The new Aus
tra-Hungarian customs bill was intro
duced in the Hungarian diet yesterday.
The chamber adopted motion of urg-
ency proposed by Premier de Sell. All
the Ausleich bills will be rapidly dis
posed of. The arrangement is a. COM
plete victory for Hungary, who gains
practically every important concession
that she had demanded from
Austria. The latter purchases con-
tinued commercial union at a great
sacrifice. Under the bill, the Ausgleich
arrangement continues until the end
of 1907, but it is provided that the ex-
piration of the customs union with
Austria and of the commercial treaties
with foreign countries shall coincide.
Hungary, therefore, secures a free
hand in the renewal of both. The bill
deliberately and openly prepares the
way for an economic separation OF
Hungary from Austria in 1907; and un-
less serious financial reasons super
vene, Hungary will then decline to
renew the Ausgleich and will conclude
separate treaties with foreign coun-
tries, establishing her own customs
tariff and own bank.

AN IDEA TOR THEATEa BoNNErs.

4 woman who wants to go to the theater and yet feel that she has some
 thing on her head besides che fimsy
 lace chiffon called by courtesy a
 theater hood,' has invented most in genious arrangement, which suits her style and gives her the comfortable
 feeling Of wearing a bonnet. Before
 leaving her cheval glass she pins an upright flower in her hair, standing to one side and becomingiy arranged. She then puts Cn her theater bonnet. This last is nothing more than a soft fold of velvet, shaped to fit her head and fastened with a clasp in front When this fold is properly, and to my lady's fancy, adjusted around the flower and fastened to my lady's head by 8 few fancy hatpins-pre5to! she is in street attire. Upon reaching the theater, and after comfortably seating herself, a few pins are leased, mad ame's little toque removed, mad8m's cOiduTe UndistuTbed, her mind at rest as to the unrufied condition of her pompadour and waves, and the play is a long drawn out enjoyment.-New York Herald

PASSPORTS NOT NEEDED NOW.
Official Papers Required Nowadays
 Only in Russia and Turkey.

There are few countries in which
 travellers now require passports in or
 der to promote their convenience and
 security. In Brazil and Venazuela, a
 passport must be shown to the officials
 before one is allowed to leave the country for q foreign port. This is a i vexatious measure, enforced, apparent 1 ly, for the sake of enabling a few officials to collect small fees.
 In Russia passport regulations are enforced with great stringency No
 traveller is allowed to enter the empire until he has obtained a passport and convinced the Russian consular officer at the port from which he sails that he is neither Roman Catholic priest nor a Hebrew. The question ordinarily asked is; What is your religion ?'' but it is designed to provide against the entry of either of these two class $.
 When the traveller arrives at a Rus sian port with Q passport which has been properly yised and cOuntersigned at a consular office it is critically ex- amined by a police officer and duly registered
 At the entrance of the hotel anotbe~ police officer takes possession of the document, and in the course Cf twenty- four hours returns it with 9 permit pr Q limited residence in the country
 When the traveller departs fer an other city in the empire he must have the passport cOuntersigned by the po- lice. This process continues until he reaches the frontier, which he cannot cross unless the passport has been vised and stamped by the police Not infrequently tourists are stopped at the frontier and subjected to serious inconvenience with the police reguIa- lations respecting passports.
 All this red tape causes annoyance and irritation among tourists, who are apt to overlook the fact that Russians as well as foreigners, are compelled to observe these police regulations. It is the business of the police to know where everybody lodges. A permit is required if a native removes from one l quarter of q town to another Every l body is registered by the police when | he arrives or departs, and foreigners. | when they arrive in Russia are dealt | with on equal terms with residents
 The same system prevails in Turkey | where it is not practicable for for | 8igner to travel without a passport | in Europe passports are ! not required. They are relics Of a by i gone period when communications be- tween countries were slow and infre qUent. Now that all nations are | drawn together by the ties cf constant 1 intercourse a passport is cut of date, | except in countries like Russia and | TuTkey.-EXchange

WHAT THE FILIPINCS NEED.

The American senate, which we take
 to be next to the diet of Frankfort the
 slowest deliberat1ve body that ever ex- isted, intends, it is said, to ratify the
 treaty with Spain on February G.. It
 is time it should, for the dominant na-
 tive class in the Philippines are evil dently getting their heads in the air.
 They have proclaimed republic, they
 have authorized AguinaIdo to declare
 war on the United States, and they evidently expect European assistance of some kind. It is greatly to be re- gretted that they should, out of sheer ignorance and vanity, provoke the les- son they will receive, but it is the way Of the east No Asiatic community ever accepts new rulers until con vinced on some sanguinary day that Providence is against them, after which, if leniently governed, they &C., cept the decree and go on with their daily labor. The Tagals may when de- feated take to the bush, but we do not think they will. They have strong liking for trade and for the sea, and as the American negro troops will be as healthy in the bush as they are they will soon declare in Spanish fashion that honor is satisfied, and that as America is a republic they are content to be protected by it's flag. An ln- dependent Philippine republic would in ten years be either English, German or Japanese. People forget how in tensely the Japanese desire the islands which would exactly double the area of their empire, and which they would refertilize. They are ready even now to pay $40, ,O0O eco for their posses ion Spectator.

THE ONLY WAY TO ADVERTISE.
The best. the most successful

The best, the most successful advertising is that of the news papers. The dodger, handbill, pamphlet and othe~ modes of ex- ploitation are ephe1neral at the best. People rarely read them. and resent the practice of send ing them through the mails, or of delivering them at their houses. The public expects to see adver- tising in the newspapers. It rec ognizes the fact that they are a necessary part of the makeup of live newspaper. It looks in the advertising columns for sources of supply.-New England Editor.

EMMA ElAAIES's BLACK GOWN.
The Discussion It Aroused When She
 Wore It in Faust

Oreragoers who have seen Emma Flames as Marguerite in Faust" will
 be interested 10 know the Cdd little story Of the black gown which the beautiful prima donna wears when singing in that role. The gown was first seen twtlen. the prima donna ap- peared as Marguerite two years ago, and the discussion which arose at that time has been revived. IL is claimed by many that Flames overdresses the part, the gown being apparently tOO rich for Bavarian peasant girl.
 The singer defends her wearing of the costume in two ways. Tn the first place, the story of the opera shows that Marguerite was not an ordinary peas ant girl, but rather it daughter of the middle classes. as she lived in neat cottage situated in a beautiful garden. Girls of that class, in the day of Mar gucrite as well as at the present, had one handsome gown, used fer Sundays Gnd feast days, which was more than usually fine. Even the peasants of to- day i'll Bavaria own such gowns for fes- tiyal wear. which are highly prlzed. In the second place. the gown is hfstOri- cally accurate. Mme E2mes had be come convinced tha.5 the peasants garb worn by Marguerite from the earliest days of the O9era was nCc the proper dress for the character, in fact, that t was not at any time worn by Nu-em- berg girls. Therefore, in order to dress the part iu a manner that shoI}d be characteristic and typical Mime Flames induced M Worth, the Parisian diessmaker, to go to Nuremberg for the purpose Of a,udying the costumes of that day. He visited this old historic town, studied rrinlts and paintings in the museums. and finally evolved the handsome gowa with which Mime.
