and a friend of Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
Mr. Marchand was thorough believer
In British institutions and proved his
loyalty by leading regiment of the
militia against the Fenian raiders in
1870. He made his debut in politics
in 1867, when he was first elected to
the legislative assembly. From that
time until ten years ago he was re-
turned at each general election with
out opposition. In 1890 he had an op-
ponent, but he was elected by an over
whelming majority. He was reelected
in 1892. Mr.. Mcrchand WAS deeply in
terested in educational progress, a
characteristic made manifest by the
little violet button he ever wore upon
the lapel OF his coas. This was the git
of France and entitled him to be caAed
''officer of public Instruction." He

He Says 1t Would Re-
quire a Prophet
To Tell What May Happen at
Convention.
Thinks Bryan VIII be Named on First
Ballot.

New York, April 11.-(Spll-Scnator
Jones, who is at the Fifth Avenue Ho-
tel, says that the expressed purpose
of Admiral Dewey to run for President
has not unduly excited him or any
other democrat, In fact, he says the
Dewey boom, if it is not already a
corpse, will be short-lived, and that
under no circumstances could it inter
fere with Mr.. Bryan's candidacy. When
asked what he thought of the anti-Bry-
an sentiment which was growing up,
especially among the Democrats OF
the east, Chairman Jones said;
81 have heard something of antl-Bry
an conferences, and such things, but
doubt If there is anything to it. l have
not been taken into the confidence OF
the opponents of Mr.. Bryan, which
of course, Is not surprising. 1t is my
belief that Mr.. Bryan will be nominal
ed on the first ballot and that there
will be no opposition OF any weigh

II have seen such statement in the
newspaper" was the reply. "The con-
veption meets OIL July t. and selects
committee which in turn will select
chg rman. 1t would take a prophet

veniion."
"yVho have YOU heard most talked of

"There ore n great many men whose
names have been suggested MI. Jones
said. Judge Caldwell of Arkansas
who has received some prominence as
possible candidate has been saying
that he cannot permit his name to be
used, but there is plenty of good men
| left"
Mr.. Jones expressed himself as being
extremely well satisfied with the pros
poets for Democratic success SO
long as he remains chairman of the
! national committee, he said, head
quarters would be maintained in Chi
caeo, but he said tht the convention
might make n change in the program
by substituting Washington for the
western city. He did not believe, he
said. that headquarters would be open
ed in this city, though such a thing is
possible.
When asked what the convention
would do as regards the platform
Chairman Jones said that the Kansas
CITY convention would not 'recede from
any position heretofore assumed
though it was a matter of conjecture
as to what additions or changes nigh
be made.

rency law affect materially the fre'

In womanly way and may we'll look

Intelligent preparation for this time is
most essential. An athlete trains ~ for
months before his trial. Most women
do not "train " at all and yet their trial
is to be fifty times as severe as the
athletes.
During the period of CESSATION every
woman should use every means to
strengthen the organs that are to be
tried. They should be kept in perfect
health. The faintest symptom of dis
order or disease should be promptly
eliminated.
