FIERCE INDIAN NATIVES

Saved by Little cirl-shut Up in a

A DAGGER FELL.
And Stabbed a Lady In the Theatre
Below.


There are two tiers of boxes in the
Coincide Francais, Paris, in which the
ladies' wear fine dresses. The lower
tier projects further into the body or
the house than the upper. so that any
object. falling from the latter, might
readily strike a person sitting in the
former. While Perrot, the tenor, was
revelling IN his piercing high notes
the other night, a much be-jeweled
woman in one of the boxes in the sec
ond tier. chanced to lean over the
rail- to gaze at the orchestra stalls.
The movement shook piece OF jewel
nv from her hair, and It fell swiftly
into the box beneath. Under some cir
cumstances the ornament would have
been lost, but It so happened that IL
found a sweet and safe resting place.
A fresh. big-eyed beauty in the low
er box suddenly startled her friends
bv clutching her pretty neck and ex-
claiming: "Oh, / think I'm stabbed
Everybody bent solicitously toward
her. demanding to know the trouble.
She tapped her breast and gasped:
81 felt a sharp weapon strike me
here"
AT that moment a gentleman en-
tered the box. Pardon my intrusion -
he said. "but my wife in the box above
dropped a jewel out of her hair. Have
you seen anything OF it?'
The lovely girl. who thought herself
stabbed. sat upright in her chair and
looked frightened Then she dashed
into the back room, from which she
returned shortly. and said; Here is
the Jewel" holding forth a handsome
diamond dagger. Where she found the
dagger would have remained a mys.

been sitting at her side, saw where

Quigg of New York, was called 10 the
stage to read the platform He was re-
ceived with mingled Kisses and applause.
Mr.. Quigg waited until the noise had
subsidized, and then read the platform,
which was adopted.
The Platform.
The platform reported to the convention
congratulates the country that the pledg-
es on the faith OF which William Mckin-
lev and Hobart were elected four years
ago have been redeemed"
II indorses both the administration OF
President Mckinley and Gov Roosevelt.
1t asserts that the Republican party
found the country, after four years OF
Democratic government, paralyzed as TO
industry, weak in trade and commerce and
impoverished in its public treasury.
The platform extolls Republican party
government as equally effective and in
telligent in war in peace"
The policy of this government with re-
gard to the status of SPANS conquered
colonial possessions is approved as CHAR
acteristf ally American. the platform con-
tinuing:
THE independence of Cuba. pledged to
Cuba and proclaimed TO the world in the
declaration of war. has been secured and
advanced by every public act.
The American military force in Cuba
has been reduced. Local government has
been established and steps are now being
taken for popular elections In Cuba to
erect there free government of the Gu
Ian people, preparatory to the complete
withdrawal Of American authority.
I'm Puerto Rico, which has become for
all time American territory, civil govern
ment and liberal laws have been provided

bellion no longer exists, and the establish

The list of delegates at large and elect
ors AT large was read and approved with
out change. The names of Mr. Plat
Mr.. Depew, Gov. Roosevelt and Mr. Odell
were received with applause.
The Only Friction of the Day.
When the state committee list was call
ed for. the first friction of the day de-
veloped. When Abe Gruber made a fight
over l.. F. Quigg being named i'm the Four
teenth district, the chair ruled that a
written, signed statement of twenty-nine
out OF thirty-nine of the delegates elected

election was Of the snap order" The list
went through, with the exception Of the
