THE ANTI-NoRRIs DELEGATES.
Express Their Confidence of Being
Seated ut Kansas City.

The delegates from the District of Co
lumbia to the National Democratic Con-
yention who we're elected at the anti Nor
ris convention last evening express great
confidence that they will be seated.
Charles ". Slater. one Of the delegates,
and who acted as chairman Of last nights
convention, stated this morning that the
delegates had already received assurances
Of support from a large number of dele
gates who have previously been elected on
the Bryan Instructed ticket in several
States.
The delegates instructed uncondition-
ally to vote for Mr.. Bryan will be a unit
in our favor" said Mr.. Slater, and with
such support there can be no doubt but
that the people of the District will be rep
resented at Kansas City by the delegates
who go pledged for Mr.. Bryan, first. last,
and all the time"
Mr.. Slater said he desired 10 contradict
the published statement to the effect that
a large number OF delegates were repre-
sented by proxies at last nights conven-
ton.
'As chairman of the convention" said
Mr.. Slater. Il want to state that the num-
ber Of proxies was unusually small. only
nNe delegdteS Out OF SlNty three being so
represented"
H. J. Schulteis. an alternate. said this
morning that the delegates and their sup
porters are certain OF being seated in the
National Convention.
When the frauds perpetrated at the
polls are made known" he said. there
will be little hesitancy in recognizing the
proper delegates. We also feel that the
manner in which the primaries were con-
Quoted this year will urge upon Congress
the necessity of providing for the District
proper registration and legal voting re-
strCtIOns."
Cotter T. Bride and Edwin Newman, who
were elected delegates last night. both
said today that they were positive of being
seated in the National Convention. We
cant see how the convention can do other
wise" they said.

VIENNA. April 16.-There is no gown
that incites the creative fancy Of the great
modistes more than the evening frock.
The newest and most artistic conceptions
are generally spent on this important cos
tune which shows of better than any
other the Individuality of the wearer and
the art of the maker.
The first gown depicted today shows
some novelties which must recommend
themselves to all lovers Of the artistic.
The long skirt, which fits the figure PER
fectly above and extends into a slight fare
below, is Of champagne" moiree-a beau
tiful shade Of golden yellow, resembling
the color OF that wine Black ChaatiHy
net with polka dot Of jet beads is fitted to
the form Of the skirt and finishes with
rich border done in chenille. Jet. and black
spangles. The lace forms a kind Of over
skirt. reaching almost to the hem Of the
mOiree skirt the iuteTstIces left between
the design OF the border are filled out with
small motifs Of gray guipure lace cmbrOid-
cred and spangled with jet. Three narrow
bias folds Of moiree form the hem. The
tght-fitting bodice foundation is of the
same champagne colOred moiree, yelled in
front with a slight drapery Of the Chantlly
net, while the decolletage is defined by an
embroidery Of black spangles representing
the interviewed uecks and heads Of two
birds. from the bills of which are suspend
ed long pendants of finely cut jet. The
eyes Of the birds heads are represented
by brilliants.
A fall Of mousseline de sole. the same
shade as the moiree, further embellishes

IN a short train A delicate tracery done

Circled by a collar OF crepe covered satin

point out to you the important fact that
while the English and Americans build
their automobiles in simple shapes and
paint them in rich dark colors we, bending to
the all-powerful feminine demand for nov
city and color, have cOntrived as many as
thirty different types of auto-carriages,
and We decorate them in every color Of
the rainbow. Brilliant hues and strange
shapes characterize the French carriage,
and lovely woman was and is at the bot
tom of that.
Here in Paris, you see. when a woman
buys an automobile. and she won't vince
even at paying as high as $4,000 for some
thing she really likes, she goes to a fac
tory and purchases or orders nothing but
a lie chassis or the running gear. She
wants small wheels. a powerful motor,
aud a simple mechanism under her hand,
and when that is supplied the bodyless
web Of machinery on wheels is sent on
to her carriage maker. With that indi-
vidual she then has as many interviews
as If he were her most valued dressmaker
for just as every French woman desires
to gown herself with Individual distinc-
ton, just SO does she require her automo-
bile to express her own tastes and ideas.
Well, you have only to stand here on the
Champs Elysees an hour any day to see
what the result Is, and TO take note that
this feminine fancy for ornamenting the
horseless carriage has had its influence
on every vehicle that comes from the
shops"
