been made in number of classes
for exhibits and the indications are
that the results will be gratifying
to the association.
The association desired especially
this year to have good live stock

The Republican Platform.

The following is the platform as
adopted by the republican state con
vention at Tacoma Wednesday,:
-Four years ago the republicans of
Washington met to mourn over un-
iversal calamity and despair under
democratic rule. Today we meet to
rejoice over universal prosperity and
happiness under republican rule.
Democratic theories become danger
Gus when coupled with political
power; and they are not improved
by a mongrel mixture of free silver
md populistic vagaries They can
be rendered harmless only by main
tanning republican rule in nation,
state, and county; and to Suoh main
tenance we pledge our strongest eff
fort.
We are proud of President Nc
Kinley and indorse his able, fear
less and patriotic administration.
We rejoice that he is again our
standard-bearer and will continue
to be the honored chief of pros
porous and happy people. He has
fully redeemed the ante-election
pledges of his party Under his
leadership protection and recipro-
city have again been restored to
their proper place i'll public law; the
Hawaiian islands have become part
of the Union; Spain has been COM
PEELED to lift her heavy hand from
off the Western hemisphere; Cuba
has been made free; Puerto Rico is
happy under our flag; the Philip
pines are rapidly learning to appre-
ciate and accept that kind of liberty
which is known and understood only
. by the American people; our army
and navy have been ably sustained;
the honor of our flag has been main
tanned at home and abroad; the
democratic heresy of free silver has
been put to sleep by republican
congress, and the gold standard has
been reatfirmed in the most positive
and satisfactory manner; our coun-
try's credit has been made better
than ever before, and better than
that of any other nation on earth;
the sun of prosperity has driven
away the clouds of despair and the
civilized world acknowledges and
applauds the glory and honor which
have crowned the nation. This
record ought to be satisfactory to
every patriotic American.
We congratulate the country up.

by their interchangeable efforts in be-

selves more than equal to the bur
den imposed by their selection to
the high offices which they so ably
all We especially commend their
effective efforts regarding reclama-
ton of arid lands and in behalf of
settlers within forest reserves.
With over two billion dollars of
foreign commerce, only seven per
cent of which is carried on Ameri-
can ships, we most heartily indorse
the efforts of the republican party,
and pledge the support of our rep
resentatives, to place American
shipping at the forefront ofthe trade
fleets OF the world, and specifically
indorse the plant of the national
platform relating to the merchant
marine.
We favor the building of railroads
within our state as an essential
means of its development and
growth, and we also favor the
adoption and enforcement of lust
and equitable laws regulating and
controlling them.
We stand for loyalty to the flag;
for the gold standard of value for all
our money; for protection and reci-
procity; for the Nicaraguan canal,
owned, operated and defended by
the United States; for the election
OF United States senators by direct
vote of the people; for the further
enlargement OF our trade and COM

cry land; for the immediate rescue
of otr people imperiled in China,
and for ample restitution for loss of
life and property therein; for a ter
ritorial form of government of Alas

ton, and oppose relinquishing soil
or sovereignty of any part Of the
district; for the construction of good
and permanent wagon roads through
the state; for the rigid enforcement
of law and order and the econom-
ical administration of public affairs,
national, state and county.
In concluding this address to the
voters Of the state of Washington,
we invite their aid and cooperation
upon the principles and purposes
herein enunciated, without regard
to past political affiliations, in the
firm belief that the best conduct of
our public affairs will be assured by
the triumphant election of the en-
tire ticket nominated by this con-
vention.

A Working Girls Allowance.

It Is wrong for working girls par
ents to take all her earnings every
week, rs 1t is customary to do, the
parents buying the girls clothing for
her. 1t would be much better for the
girl-and for her parents themselves, IL
they only knew tiff she were allowed
to keep so much of her salary every
week for clothes-it need not be more
than the parents would spend for her
and let her buy her own clothing her.
self. The girl knows how hard her
money is to earn, and her spending it is
u profitable experience. or course, at
first she will make iniudicious pur-
chases-buy the wrong sort Of things,
and pay too much for them, in the eyes
of her experienced mother-but if the
mother will quietly point out to the
girl how she could have done better
eventually the girl will not only be
econOmical-as good business woman
AS her mother, but much more so, she
having been allowed an earlier begin
ming. Another great mistake that poor
people as q rule make is that because
the girls of the family are workers-in
shops and the like-they are excused
from all home duties and domestic re-
spOGslbilities. Mothers whose daugh-
ters are employed during the day should
manage it so that the daughters assist
in the purchasing of household needs
food, additional furniture and the like
for in this way they get to know the
market value Of things which they will
probably be called upon some day to
purchase for their own homes.-Hetty

NELLIE GUSTS WEDDING
Delighted the Bride by A,

Washington Delighted the Bride by An
pearinE in His Old Uniform.
Nellie Custis occupied no small share Of
Washngton's affectionate heart after his
return to Mount Vernon. He had charg-
cd the young girl kindly not to fall in
love with any invader" of her heart un-
Ill she had competent knowledge of his
character, especially whether ne was a
man of sense, "for be assured a sensible
woman can never be happy with fool"
what his walk of life. the extent of his
fortune and, above all, the honesty of
his affections. Washngton's own wish
seems to have been that Nellie Custis
would marry his favorite young nephew,
Lawrence Lewis. and among the last of
the festivities which Washington presid-
ed over at Mount Vernon was the we'd
ding of the couple in February, 1888.
Nellie wanted him to appear in all the
magnihcence of the new uniform, with
gold lace and white plumes. which the
War Department had just designed for
him as general. The old chieftain was
unwilling to have himself bedecked in
the trappings of his latest military rank
But when he came into the presence of
the bridal party Nellie had to throw her
arms around his neck, for there he was
in the good old blue and buff of the Con-
tinental Army, with black ribbon cock
ade and a cooked hat.-Ladies' Home

headed by the gallant Lieut.. Gov. Fau-
quier. Around him stood a group of Eng
lish officers, hardly less showy in their
trappings, together with members of
the Legislature and other civilians. When
the bride entered the coach, which was
bright with the Washington colors of red
and white, and drawn by six horses guild
ed by black positions in livery, the bride
groom did not enter with her. There was
his favorite horse, with his tall body
for him to mount. When Washington
mounted the richly caparisoned charger
he rode by the side of the bridal coach,
closely followed by cortege of gentle
men on horseback.
Although one of the most interesting
events i'll Washington's private life, his
wedding has been comparatively neglect
ed by the majority Of his biographers
1t is generally agreed that the ceremony
took place on the 9th of January Tor the
18th of January, new style), 1859. Eut
TO whether it was performed in st. Pc
ter's Church, in New Kent County, or at
the home of the bride, known as the
white House." there is a wide variance
of opinion. The weight of local authority
is against the belief that it occurred in
the church, nor is there any record in the
church indicating that the couple were
married there, although its rector, Rev.
Mr.. Mossom, who had been in the pull
pit for forty years, solemnized the con-
tract. On the other hand, those who in
sist that the clergyman officiated in the
church point to accounts that Washington

bridal cavalcade, as evidence that there
was journey between the church and
the home of the bride. This, however, is
offset by the conjecture that the caval-
cade was escorting the couple immediate
ly after their marriage TO Mrs Custis'
house in the town of Williamsburg, or to
Mount Vernon, and that they were re-
pairing thither to spend the honeymoon.
