4 DEMDCRiI,

l "I am a Democrat" said David B.
 Hill once upon a time, and everybody
 thought he and his attitude were mag
 nificent. Four years ago it was hard
 to tell what David B. Hill was, and he didn't seem to be very sure himself This year he seems to be willing to be thought to be a Democrat, and sil- veryBryan Democrat at that. His
 swallowing speech at Kansas City was a curiosity. q, as you well knew" said he, was one of those who, in good faith, doubted the wisdom of some DOT
 tions of the platform, doubted certain details of our financial policy, but the wisdom of this convention has deter mined otherwise, and I acquiesce cheer fully in the decision. I am here to say further that the platform that has been read is worthy of the vote and approval of every man who claims to be a Demo- crat in this country. Those who do not admire some portions can speak for others. If there are some issues which they do not desire to present as strong as some others they can at least talk about something in this platform that is worthy of their approval
 We snppose the explanation of MT. Hill is that he wants to be President, and doesn't care as much about being right as he does about being President.

.4GIINST THE CIki ETTE.

 man, as he clearly ought to be. Now
 the question has arisen, should rail-
 road companies, the Rock Island and
 the Burlington, have decided that he shouldn't and that he mustn't while do- ing their work. The theory Is that ex- cessive cigarette smoking shatters the nerves and clouds the intellect. Men who become slaves to the habit are not dependable men. They cannot be re- lied upon in the emergencies that are incident to the railroad business. Rath- CT than make any rules governing or regulating indulgence in the habit the railroad companies wisely concluded that the safest course is to forbid the practice entirely.
 If all tie railroad companies attack the cigarette habit as they have the rum habit much good will be done. The doctors disag gree about both rum and cigarettes, but it is quite clear that men who don't use either are better off than those who use one or both

 the other was used with little editori- al alteration. This statement may fa- vor the idea that Dickens journal was close borough" open only to select few who had earned public reputation, but such conclusion would be quite unjust The conductor Charles Dick ens) and the editor (W H. Wills) were always only too anxious to discover new contributors-men with new ideas, fresh enthusiasm and unhackneyed style-and Charles Dickens was the last man to say, as Thaokeray did when he was forming his "Cornhill Magazine staff, Il am afraid there are only certain number of cabs upon the stand" Thackeray said it in no unkind spirit. It was only his fun" Dickens had certainly equal "fun," and he probably thought the same in no unkind spirit.-- Household Words

4 " INTER EXITING DISCUSSION.

That was an interesting and profitable
 discussion which took place in
 the rooms of the Royal United
 Service Institution in London the other
 day on the value of masts and sails in
 the training of men-of- wars men. MT.
 J. R. Thursf1eld, who read paper, was a strong advocate in favor of the re- tention of the sailing training squadron, arguing that it was the experience with masts and yards that developed the true seaman, and produced the mandy man." of whom so much had been heard lately. He declared that statistics showed that the best gunners were those who had passed through the sail ing squadron. He was supported by Admiral Bridge, Captain Atkinson, an commander of the training souad- ron, and others, but the general senti- ment of the meeting seemed to be op- posed to him. Admiral Sir J. Dalrym- ple-Hay thought that plenty of capable seamen could be got from the merchant fleet, and suggested that 5000 boys of the royal navy should be sent annually on board merchant vessels to get the benefit of the training. Admiral Sir Michael Culme Seymour said that the proper place to train seamen was on board the ships in which they would

FASHION NOTES,
Trimmed Into Regular sections.

Trimmed Into Regular Sections.
 A plain white serge skirt may be all right for certain purposes, but no gown of white serge will have any distinction whatever unless 1t is trimmed freely or with some distinctly new garntture. The reason for this change from last year is plain: how else is woman with money to burn to announce, through view of her dress, that it was early gathered from this years crop? Look at the left in the accompanying picture and you'll see an up-to-date white serge. Bolero and bands were Turkish embroidery. Collar and belt were. black velvet. No complication here, but something as distinctly new as if 1t were as highly wrought as possible.
 The other dress was chosen for illus

tra ton because of Its trimming. Ever since Easter women have been employ ing much trimming in vertical lines. Now the inevitable next step has been taken. the ends of these lines are join ed, and the woman inside the gown looks as if marked for division into mathematically regular sections! Rath- CT a harsh way to look on new style, perhaps, but this point is one of it's drawbacks. When the eye is more &C., customed to it the imagination won't be stirred thus. The idea Is new and endorsed by stylish makers, so there is sure to be more of it. This expression of it was in black velvet ribbon. for the trimming, and fawn albatross cloth for the goods.
 In planning a yachting gown of white serge it is a good scheme to let the tailor get samples, and then to choose the hardest twist The skirt should be but thoroughly finished with braid and all that at the hem. The theath back is not too close. The length of skirt may be to the instep, the &C., cepted outing length, or since a white serge skirt is very useful, one may have it just clear. The reefer coat must be lined with light weight flannel, never silk, must be plenty large, and even may bag little. With plenty of pock- cts and flash of brass buttons you are sporty. Under the jacket wear ! well made shirt waist, either white or some stripe or dot of blue and white.

And in making this nomination it help ed finish Bryan, although that was probably not the object of it. The con- vention didn't have the pleasure of hearing Bryan, it having been decided by his advisers that it wouldn't be quite dignif1ed enough for him to ap pear before the convention and thank it for the honor he had thrust upon it.

1t has been suggested that some ap- propriate honor be paid to Congress- man Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylva- mia, at the coming celebration at St. Louis of the Louisiana Purchase. He enacted in 1854, which did so much to develop the West by making home-get- ting easy. Tt is difficult" says the Washington Times flor the present generation of Americans, surrounded by the modern conditions, with a fierce competition in the struggle for exist ence, to realize that there is in congress to-day man who is a link between the infancy of the Nation and it's present giant roportions-between the crude industrial conditions of the dawn of the century, now in its twilight, and the highly organized machinery of the coun- try's commercial forces. In his person. ality and record the Hon. Galusha A. Grow is that link.

Though at great cost to the manu- facturers and distributors, the enforce ment of the Illinois Pure Food law is welcomed by them. The statute went into effect last Sunday. For some time previously shopkeepers had been send ing to the analytical chemist of the State Food Commissioners specimens of catchup oil of lemon, extracts of va nilla, pie filling, chocolate cakes and creams, maple sugar, vinegars, ice creams, honey, imported French peas, condensed milk and many other arti- cles.

The cutting of the sudd on the upper Nile and the consequent release of large volumes of stagnant water has had an unexpected effect on the river at As suan, by the first cataract, From re- ports received from the engineering staff it seems that the absence of free oxygen in the water has caused whole sale destruction of the fish. Within a hundred yards of the resident engineers office there were at least a million dead fish, ranging in size from few inches to six feet in length, and, although the season was relatively cool, the odor was terrible, and, moreover, no other drink ing water was available; but after fil- tration no evils resulted from it's use This is said to confirm London experi- ence at a time when it was usual to pour crude sewage into the Thames. The filtered water, clear and odorless, was drunk with impunity; but eels plunged into it would struggle violently and finally die of suffocation, because it contained no free oxygen. This is presumed to have been the case with the fish in the Nile under the special circumstances resulting from the long deferred cutting of the sudd.
