4 PRECEDENT FOR RO0SEVELT.

The talk is that if Governor Roose- welt happens to be nominated for vice
 president he can do nothing but accept and make the best of situation which
 he does not like. In support of this notion it is urged that never in the history of the country has a man re- actually been made by a national con- vention. Hence Governor Roosevelt is assumed to be at the mercy of his friends-or enemies. But this, the New York Tribune points out. is not the case. The vice presidency has been re- fused under circumstances which of- fer a most encouraging precedent for Governor Roosevelt in resisting MT. Platt's stampede via California and Colorado-provided always that he really wants to resist. In the year 1844 the Democratic national conven- James K. Polk for President. It also by an almost unanimous vote nominat- ed Silas Wright of New York for Vice President. MT. Wright was at the convention and declined peremptorily. He was requested to reconsider, and a committee of the convention devoted the night to stampeding him, but he would not be stampsded. So the next day the convention had to meet aGein,

what has prevailed recently. As usual when new notions are being advanced, there are occasional model tailor suits got up to stun the observer. Some of them will surely kill the wearer's repu- tation for taste In dress so eccentric are their schemes. It is never wise to go in for oddities, and it Is especially inexcusable just now when pretty new fancies are obtainable.
 Another attractively new tailor rig was in bright navy blue serge. It's stitched in rows of red silk. little short jacket is stitched to match and lined with red silk. It fastened with black frogs, and may be worn over any silk or wash waist. The skirt fell over pettcoat lining of red silk. This com bination of blue and red Is a useful one, and wears we'll all the season. White and red are going to be pet combina- ton for dresses little later, and duck and linen will be stitched with rows of silk and finished just like cloth. Really good silk stitching washes without loss of color. Considering the whole field of new gowns stitching never played greater part than it does now. From the standpoint of ornamental value, stitching in a color to contrast with the stuff-as much of the stylish stitching does-is quite a different matter from the inconspicuous article shown on tail- or suits for the past few years.

and after taking two more ballots n9n,- mated George M. Dallas in his stead. So Governor Roosevelt has proof that stampeding in a national convention can be resisted, and the example of Silas Wright ought to be encouraging to him when he recalls how that states man came home to New York, ran for Governor that year and carried the State by much larger majority than did Polk and Dallas.
 But perhaps, after all, Governor Roosevelt will not have a chance to initiate Silar Wright. All isn't harmo- ny in New York, and Senator Plat says that if harmony doesn't prevail in New York the nomination will go to a western man.

 The Germans make flannel under clothing of the fibre, as we'll as socks for men and stockings for women, while knee warmers, knitting and darning yarns, cork soles, quilts, wadding, deaf ening paper for walls, pine needls soap incense and even cigars made from this raw material have been imported from Germany for years.
 Bathing resorts have also been estab- lished by the thrifty Teutons at points where the pine needles are crushed, and these resorts have long been popular with people afflicted with rheumatism, consumption, etc. MT. Cord hopes to make Grants Pass a Mecca for afflicted people, as the climate Is mild and equa- ble at all times of the year, while the winters are simply superb in their free- dom from high winds or severe frosts, and Grants Pass has more sunny days than any other portion of western Ore gon.
 At present the factory uses only half ton of the nedles day, as the enter prise is still in it's infancy When in full blast MT. Cord thinks that he can use several tons, with an upward ten dency as the market for pine needls products expands.
 Another point in Oregon where pine needls plant may be established in the near future Is Hood River, MT. Cord says, as the location affords an unlim- ited supply of needles, while better rates for transportation can be obtained on account of Hood Rivers nearness to Portland. Oregon, he says, has mo- nopoly on the needles.--P Philadelphia Times,

4 SHADOW.

A man true to his convictions and
 ever ready to stand up and be counted for them is like the shadow of great
 rock in a weary land, unless his ex- cessive and hopeless obstinacy happens to make him more like the shadow of a great mule in a weary land. At Wich- ita, Kansas. day before yesterday Brother Bryan remarked: Neither Editor Morse nor anyone else can sue ceed in getting me to abandon free sil- yer. I favor it as much as I did in 1896. While free silver will not be the leading issue in this campaign, it will be one of the issues" And he also said: New measures are resting upon us but I shall never drop the silver question until the little coterie of English finan- ciers cease to meet in secret and plan the laws of this country. The differ ence between this campaign and that of 1896 is that the matter of trusts and has been injected ana that the East has become educated on the silver question. The East no longer re- gards Populists as anarchists and has come to respect them.
 The great heart of Brother Bryan is true to 16 to l. and his shadow 1oesn't seem to be growing less. His remark that the East has become edu- ,ated on the silver question shows his It has,

.F1ISHION NOTES.
Tailored Novelty Plentiful.

The lack of variety that existed re- gently in tailor gowns is passing. New ideas in finish are appearing, and most of them are so attractive as to take hold promptly. One especially pretty gown of this new lot was sketched for this picture. Its goods was a mixed tweed showing several shades of brown. The skirt was stitched in box-pleats that fared out with fine precision below the knee. Brown and gilt passementerie was applied as indicated, and collar and revers were faced with white moire silk latticed with brown chenille. About this gown, as is the case with many others of these new suits, there was nothing so striking as to offent quiet taste, yet it's finish was quite unlike

A PERSONAL RECOLLECTION OF
 RFFTHOVEN.

Frau Grebner. who celebrated her
 ninetieth birthday in 1898, sang soprano at the first performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. The Musical Courier gives the recollections of the great com poser on that and one other occasion:
 'Beethoven, as far as his infirmity permitted him to hear, took part in the rehearsals and performances among the performers He had desk before him, on which his manuscript lay. As she stood only few paces from the desk, she had him continually before her eyes. She described him as an undersized, robust rather stout man, with a red, pock-marked face and dark piercing eyes. His gray hair fell in thick locks over his forehead. His voice was son. orous bass, but he spoke little, for the most part thoughtfully reading the score. He created the painful impress ion that he was not in condition to follow the music. Yet he appeared to be reading on, and turned the pages when the various movements were ended. During the performance a gentleman went up to him and pointed him out to the public. The movement of applaud ing hands and the waving of handker- chiefs induced him to bow, and this let loose storm of applause.
 Frau Grebner spoke of another meet ing with Beethoven when che and some friends were walking along the Graben. One of them exclaimed, Here comes Beethoven!' with the Viennese accent on the name, and then they all stopped and looked with awe at the master. He remarked this troop of young admirers and stopped, looking at them with his lorgnette nodded kindly and went on his way. There was something very touching In hearing this account from the lips of the old lady, and to look into the eyes that had seen the great tone poet. Then she suddenly exclaimed: Aye, Beethoven wasn't often seen in the streets, but Schubert. whom we of ten met in the Promenade, the Graben, the theatre, he was everywhere. Fin ally she related that she had been at the first concert that Liszt gave at Vienna. She became enthusiastic over the pale, handsome youth who won all hearts, and added: I have often heard Listz play in latter days, but think he never played again so we'll as the first time"

OUAT.


 Quay's- 'pull'' was so great that he came within one vote of pulling into the Senate, but the Constitution of the United States and Senators who were willing to do their plain duty stood in his way. His failure will have a good effect in discotraging others The precedent established in the case of MT Mantle of Montana, in 1893, and later sustained in the case of MT. Cor bett, of Oregon, was followed by the Senate in the case of Quay. If Quay had been admitted on the goVer- nor's certificate, after the legislature had refused to act on account of fac tional dissensions, the governors of Utah and Delaware would have promptly appointed Senators. Ii is not impossible, if Quay had been seated, that large proportion of the member ship of the Senate would, in time, con- sist of Senators appointed by gover- nors after convenient "deadlocks" had been arranged in the legislatures.
 Will Quay finally get back into the Senate in spite of all that he is and all that has happened? The Repub- lican Philadelphia Press says that the to the next legislature in Republican districts already make cer- tain that the opposition to Quay will be much stronger in that legislature reelection to the Senate next winter is therefore impossible. Time will tell.

It is hard to get at the truth about things in China, but the Rev. pr. w. A. P. Martin, the well known mission ary in China, who has lived in the country for nearly fifty years, and is president of the Imperial college in Picking, denies the frequently repeated story that the Dowager Empress of China is of humble birth. "The story,' he says, Ifs a pure fiction. The Dow ager Empress Tsehi comes of a noble Manchu family. The late Duke Chao was her brother, and the Manchu Prime Minister Yung Lu is her nephew. After she had become the secondary wife of the Emperor Hien Flung, her sister be- came the first wife of one of the Elm perors brothers. The present emperor is the child of that sister, and was on that account adopted by the Dowager after the death of her own son. Her mother was living some fifteen years ago, and Dr. and Mrs Pritchard, of the London Mission, being invited to the house of Duke Chao, had the honor of receiving cup of tea from her hand. They described her as handsome old

Utica school children have been en- listed in the good work of collecting for destruction the eggs of the brown caterpillar, which worm worked havoc last year on the foliage of the trees in in that city and vicinity. Incidentally the children are learning something about insect life The eggs of the de- stroying worm are found in rings on the ends of tree twigs. These twigs are broken off by the children and carried to the schools for enumeration, the committee on economics of local club having offered prize of $5 to the school destroying the greatest number of these egg rings. A better stimulus in its appeal to the pocket sense of the young collectors, is the offer made by one of the teachers to her pupils to pay ten cents per hundred for the rings brought in. Each ring is estimated to be capable of matching out 200 worms, and in one month the work of the chil- dren resulted in the destruction of some ten million of the pest. The work will be continued up to the matching time.

Big Sale of ROSjn.

Reports come from omithville, Ga,
that the largest sale of rosin ever made
in the state was made last week by Mr..
w. C. Vereen of the Downing Company
of Brunswick. The lot contained about
3, 500 barrels, and was principally fine
rosln which bad been held from last
spring and summer, and the average
price received was $3.50 a barrel. A very
short time was allowed for the delivery
of the rosin and some difficulty was en-
countered in securing sufficient mum,
Der of cars. More than solid train load
was needed to more the order. Mr.. We
reen, who sold the rosin, received the
benefit of decided increase in price by
holding until the present time, when all
rosins are up. The rosin industry Of
south Georgia is one of the largest and
most prof able industries IN the state.
