 should Adjourn Imint d.ateiy
 Some of the delegates, notably those from Nebraska and Missouri, are advancing the idea that the convention as whole should adjourn immediately after converting to meet in Kansas City on the same day that the democrattic and silver republican con ventions are to assemble there.
 The delegates have not reached the point of talking openly on a vice presidential nomination. but there is growing feeling on this subject and unless measure IS found of harmoniZing the sentiment before the vice presidential question is reached in the order of business, there will almost certainly be a very spirited fight over that point
 It is already apparent that the attendance at the convention will not be as large as had been counted upon. The reduction of rates by the railroads extended on the east only as far as New York, and on the west to Montana, probably cutting off the att tendance of many delegates and visitors from the Pacific coast, and also possibly some delegates from the New England states.
 A majority of the states it Is said, will, however be represented by delegates, If not by visitors. Chairman Butler expresses the opinion that all the states and terri tories will be either wholly or partially rep resented except Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi. Georgia, Florida, Vermont, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. There will be probably some contest over the po- sition of national chairman. Chairman Ed miston of Nebraska is avowed candidate for the position, and apparently has the support of Nebraskas neighboring states for it.
 Senator Butler has not yet announced whether he will be a candidate for re-elec- tion not.
 The weather continues favorable for the convention tomorrow. The streets are per- fectly clear, and there are apparently no danger except from wind The breeze to- day split two sections of the huge tent in which the convention is to be held. This in- cident of course caused some apprehension of the result in case of a repetition of to- days weather conditionss, after the assem- bling of the convention. Delegates from 24 states and territories, including one from Alaska, are said to be here tonight while delegates from at least five other states are expected to arrive tomorrow.

A CHAMPAGNE CORK.
II Costs More Than the Wine Tint Is
In the Bottle.

To the average lover of champagne the
apparent climax Of value is in the hzzy
fluid itself. Bottle. cork and label are
merely accessories. Yet the fact remains
that the original cost of the wine is rcla-
lively tritling and the most expensive
part Of the whole affair, leaving out the
cost Of the expert labor expended in
"rpening" the vintage, is the despiSed
and swollen cork. The cork stands for
more than the first cost of the wine plus
the value of the bottle wire, label and
wrappings. The cork costs % cents. All
the rest only foUts up a fraction under
Is cents.
The champagne cork is the finest bark
that is grown. The texture must be flaw
less or the life of the wine will be lost.
Then its peculiar shape requires that it
shall he fashioned by hand. No machine
has yet been invented that will satisfy
the champagne cork connoisseur as well
as the dCft work of nnbc fingers This
expenditure Of skill and time combines
with equality to make these particular
bottle shoppers cheap ut quarter apiece.
The young wine, on the contrary, when
it goes into the bottle is cheap-1G cents
a quart. The value and the flavor come
with age. Countless times the bottles
must be turned carefully and gently be-
fore the juice Of the grape is fit to tickle
the palate OF an cpicurc.
There is n wonderful city in France,
the subterranean city OF Epernay into
whose silent streets no ray of sunshine
ever steals, where the wine is stored TO
ripen, guarded as jealousy as if 1t were
gold and handled as tcndcrly as If it
were human Miles and miles of streets
are hewn out of the chalky soil and
cemented with millions and millions 81
champagne bottles Of all blends and vint-
ages left there to rpen. When the bot
ties went into these underground clois-
ters, the cork was king by virtue Of its
cost. When they return to the world Of
light and life, the cork has become insis-
nlicant in comparison with the wine.
Warehouses; frequently pay good prices
for corks hearing their mark, thus en-
aiding themselves to gauge accurately
the esteem in which various vintages are
held 10y the public.
Champagne corks. too, have special
value in the toilet. Their fine texture
makes them peculiarly available in treat
iug the skin with powders or similar ap-
pications. and the Partisan or Viennesc
belle whose toilet set does not contain
an assortment of champagne corks IS
rnrc. The finest and most perfect speci-
mems only are used for this purpose. aud
they retail readily Mt the equivalent of 80
cents each.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

FINE WHITE SHIRTS.
Htah Prices Paid by Some Men For
This Item of AppareI

y man can buy a good, well made, well
fitting white shirt for 81; he can buy
other white shirts for less than that. and
then he can get shirts made to order at
any price he wishes to pay up to $40
each. He can find establishments where
the lowest priced white shirt kept ia
stock sells at 80 and where the lowest
priced shirt made to order is sold at ST.
or SIS dozen. \ shirt of this sort
would have Il body of the best domestic
cotton and plain linen bosom. 1t would
be simply fine, handsome, well made
shirt, and probably more than 80 per cent
of the shirts sold here would be Of that
price and description, the other 40 per
cent or so being shirts finer still. At
81 30, for example, or at 81 with the col
lar attached, could he had shirt with a
body of French muslin and bosom of
piQue of very fine quality. The patterns
of the piquc are likely to be rather simple
than otherwise in design, and the shirts
are made sometimes with the lines Of
pique running vertically in the bosom aud
sometimes with the lines horizontal. Sub
dued in effect as the pattern is. the pique
bosomcd shirt might nevertheless seem
to some men rather faucful, but there
can be no doubt shat many Of the fine
shirts of this character are thoroughly
artistic productions \ shirt of this kind,
as it comes from the hands of the expert
ironer, with the delicate piQue pattern
showing family in absolutely faultless
lines upon n bosom so ironcd that it has
a slight conveXity of outline and the per-
feet uniformity of Il shield. is certainly
an object that is agreeable to the eye.
Pique bosomed shirts are worn chiefly
by young men. OF all the higher priced
dress shirts, such as are here referred to,

be made with pique bosoms, - per cent
being made with plain linen bosoms.
A shirt that sells AT 50, or Sl0S dozen,
is made with a body of figured linen
batistc, with an extra fine linen bosom;
the collar and cuffs are attached. All the
materials of which this shirt is made are
fine and sheer and beautiful and very
light. A completed shirt of this sort, IN
Numbered, weighs less than four ounces.
All fine dress shirts such as are here
mentioned are invariably made with cuffs
attached, but not always with collar at
tached. and il was not necessary that
they should be. and yet it was said that
If the wearer desired TO attain the acme
Of perfection in his apparel and to he
able to withstand any scrutiny he had
his shirts made with collar as well as
cuffs attached.
Men that wear shirts of these sorts buy
four or five dozen of them a year or per-
haps more. They don't wear them after
