Pleasant Evening Enter.
tainment.

Last evening one of those little So
clal functions IN which the intellectu-
I'll features predominant, occurred at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. III. Sniff,
who entertained, in delightfully."- cor
dial manner, the Nile tourists.
Mrs. w M. Carlisle took charge of
the excursion and conducted the party
through the ruins of Heliopolis, the
magnificent city of the Sungod, across
the plains and sands into the City of
Cairo, forcing even ancient Babylon to
yield up some of its secrets and me-
mentos of the long gone ages. The
Sphinx was appealed to but her stony
silence was unbroken in spite of all en-
treaty
About IL o'clock refreshments were
served in three courses upon small ia
bles; the menu being sufficiently mod
ern to remind the travellers that their
new homes still await them in another
and better country which was undream-
ed of in the time of Menes, Cheerful and
Alexander, and IS faces we're turned
toward these abodes each traveller felt
in spite of the glory and brilliancy of
the wonderful past, with its great store
of history, which is being given, each
day, in 9 liberal way, to the earnest
students, 1t IS vastly more desirable to
ne living in the present, with Its agree
able associations and sublime 0pportu-
mites.

Won't Do.

DR.. Parkhurst wants to start
good. truthful, clean, newspaper that
will tell all the truth" That is dream
of an idealist. A paper that would
tell ALL the truth would break up any
town on earth in less than week.
The average newspaper man should be
thanked for NOT publishing what he
knows instead of for what he does
publish. Suppose newspaper should
publish ALL it knows of the short
comings of the average run Of human
ity. The divorce courts wouldn't be
half big enough for the cases filed
in them. Better not start paper
that will tell ALL it knows, unless you
run it in lunatic asylum.

Instead of these they may name many
who are famous because they havo
amassed large fortunes in brewing, in
banking, IN speculating-even in pecu-
lating! Is Bung who has acquired
fortune by selling millions of GALLONS
of beer, of more consequence to the
community than Dickens! If he is
not, why has Bung been made peer,
while Dickens was officially ignored?
Is it not a bad policy to encourage the
accumulation of vast wealth to such
an extent that all the brains of the
country are more eager to make money

PROGRAM OF TIE CONVENTION
Clear Statement of VIM. j. Bryan's
Views Sent by Him to the
New York World.

Kansas City, July 4.-With flags
flying, bands playing, streets resplend-
ent with the blaze Of bunting and Of
myriad lights, and with the ear as
saulted by the deafening conglomera-
ton Of bombs and rockets and crack
ers and marching clubs and drum corps
with this confusion Of patriotism and
politics Kansas iCty in the ''wee sma'
hours" ushered in the national holiday
and the Democratic national conven-
ton. Crowds have come en- masse, fair
ly engulfing the city and taking COM
plete possession of its streets, hotels
and public places. With the late influx
have come the Tammany braves, the
Chicago Marching Club and many kim
dreds organizations with their bands.
Many notable figures Of the party have
come with the arriving delegations.

vention:

sons to serve respectively on commit
tees to notify the nominees of president
and vice president.
Feature of the Situation.
The most remarkable feature Of the
situation Is the sudden shift of senti-
ment as to the dominating influence of
Bryan. Many delegations took formal
action against specific 16-to-1 declar-
alton. which Is supposed to be Bryan's
sine qua non. The movement took
form among some of the most influen-
tial men Of the party. not through any
spirit of opposition to Bryan, but be-
cause they believed the overwhelming
sense of the delegates was favorable to
simple reaffirmatiOn of the Chicago
platform without q specific declaration
for 16-to-1. That is conservative in
stead Of a radical financial platform.

stormy meeting Of the Michigan dele

when the delegation moved to appoint
Thomas E. Barkworth member of the

was unanimously chosen for the posi-

he would not act as memebr of the
committee on resolutions unless he knew
just what was wanted of him by his
state. When the final vote was taken

delegation stood against specific dec
