IOWA REPUBLICANS MEET.
Hakweyes Strongly Endorse McKinA
leys Administration.

Des Moines, May 1.-THE Iowa
state republican convention held yes
terday furnished spectacle of politi-
cal harmony, confidence and strength
seldom witnessed. The delegates at
large, alternates and twenty-five dis
trict delegates and alternates to the
national convention were in all but
one district selected by reclamation.
The speech of Congressman Cousins,
temporary chairman, was admittedly
the most enjoyable feature Of the con-
vention. The platform adopted was
as follows:
I'VE enter upon the political
campaign of 1900 with the policies
presented by the republican party
four years ago fully vindi-
Gated and its promises all
redeemed. In the light of today it is
apparent that the attempt to debase
the currency as a remedy for the hard
times then prevailing was a monstrous
blunder. We insist that no issue can
be paramount to the maintenance OF
public credit and the stability Of
money for which all labor and prod
ucts are sold. So long as a political
party stands committed to overthrow
the monetary system we call upon all
conservative men to act with US in
keeping that party from power. We
favor the extension of self-government
to all peoples that have lately come
under the protection of this country
as rapidly as they demonstrate their
capacity to exercise it and we hold our
authority over them to be a solemn
trust to~be exercised with an eye sim
gle TO their instruction, development
and prosperity. We favor legislation
that will effectually protect the pub
lie from the evils of combinations in
restraint of trade. For measures to
properly restrict the power of aggre-
gated capital and to protect the
individual rights of all men and pre-
serve freedom of competition and of
opportunity, we rely upon the repub-
lican party. trusting to that wise and
safe craftsmanship which in the emer-
gencies Of the last four years has been
so satisfactorily tested. We endorse
the wise and patriotic administration
of President Mckinley under which
prosperity has been restored to the
country, and national prestige and in
fiuence greatly increased. We believe
the vast business and Industrial in
terests OF our people and proper dis
charge of the new and grave RESPONSE
bilities that have come to US as ma
ton demand continued stable policies
and TO that end we earnestly favor
the denomination and reelection Of
President Mckinley We heartily APP
prove the work of the present repub-
lican congress, and congratulate the
state upon the able administration of
Speaker Henderson. After brief
speeches by Gov. Shaw. LATE Young,
Congressman Lacey and Doiliver, the
convention adjourned.

Methodism in Mexico.
Chicago, May 9.-Rev. John w. But
Ter was leading speaker at the mis-
sionary anniversary pastor of the
Methodit conference,-in the Audito-
rum last evening. He spoke on behalf
of Mexico and referred to the great
progress of Mexico during the past
quadrennium and the development of
all it's industrial interests, and the sta
bility of the government. 1t was
hoped and generally believed, he said,
that there would be no further attempt
on the part of the pope to interfere
with the laws of reform in Mexico.
He mentioned as fact worthy of note
the sweeping over the country of the
wave of modern life as well as the
presence of protestant missions, in
Guiding the open bible, mission
schools and the press, which were
having a.. reformatory effect. The
NdLuOllCS were multiplying anu III
proving their schools, and also, in a
marked degree, their use of the press.
The priests are beginning to broaden
thir vision and look out beyond the
shadow of the church spire where
they have been intoning mass" The
speaker said he had reason to believe
that the men there who were rading
about Mthodism and other evangelical
bodies would be influenced to do one
of two things: Ito treat us more con-
siderately, or to come out from among
them and be separate. +"
There had been a net gain of 1,28S
communicates at the Methodist mis-
sions during the past four years, and
this after filling all vacancies caused
by death or removal; and a net gain OF
996 in the Sunday schools. In the day
schools, 4,025 were matriculated last
year. The property. churches. schools
hospitals, etc., were valued at s4S7, ACC
(silver.) Last year about $4,000 (sil-
ver) were raised for all purposes by
| the church in Mexico.

Of that likeness upon when MS rate
depended. So 1t seemed that James
coming would only heighten the i'm
probability Of his tale, already weaken
ed by delay.
Many Of the people whom he ques-
toned spoke of a strong resemblance
between Miss Clair and Olive Trask,
young lady whom Gaines had met sew
eral years before. Would it be possible
to substitute her in this story? His ac-
Quaintance was just sufficient to war
rant him in addressing her. He
couldn't call her little GIRL" but prob
ably the fact that he had used those
words would not come out in the ex-
PLANTATION.
A sudden resolution seized him. He
would take the risk. Fearing that his
courage would ooze away If he hest
tated, he sought Miss Clair at once.
AS luck would have it, he found her
with Jessie Bingham and Olive Trask.
To his great delight, Miss Trask greet
ed him very cordially. His courage
mounted higher.

than this to set myself right for the
unfortunate mistake l made this after
noon. When / spoke to you on
Twenty-third street, l mistook you for
Miss Trask, whom l have known some

course, but you kindly promised to for

Miss Clair. "Why, nothing Of the sort
ever happened. I never saw you be-
fore tonight, and when spoke of for
getting l referred to all the silly things
that our friends have said about us.
AS to the incident on Twenty third
street, fear you will have to take
your apology to the young lady whom
you actually accosted, if you can find
her"
There was a moment Of awful ST.
lence, and then Miss Trask came to
the rescue, boldly if somewhat in
discreetly.
"Well, as Mr. Gaines thought it was

ing how to finish her sentence.
Gaines groaned
AT this critical moment who should

situation.

Of being vain of their looks, though
they may prove by every act of their
lives that they are more modest than
the lowly violet.
Gaines was aware that if he had
been insignificant and ugly the lady in
question might have paused to hear an
explanation, but that did not console
him. He took the Incident very much
to heart and indeed felt so bad about
1t that he could hardly bring himself
to attend a social function" to which
he was hidden for that evening. 1t

REFURBIsHING HAT TRIMMINGS

REFURBISHING HAT TRIMMINGS.
Some useful hints for the refurbishing
of detaced hat trimmings are given by the
Millinery Trade Review. Wonderfully
good results can be obtained by little
effort in this direction. To steam out
crumpled Grape, pin the pieces flat on a
thickly covered board, lay wet cloth on
top, and pass very hot iron over the
surface, close enough to draw steam from
the wet cloth, but not allowing the iron
to rest the slightest bit on the Grape. Let
the Grape remain on the board a few
minutes to thoroughly dry before taking
up.
70 steam out tulle have if possible one
Of the new fan-shaped attachments to put
in the spout of kettle; this enables one
to keep far enough off the heating flame
to avoid danger OF Ignition. Failing this
have a large kettle or pan of water boil
ing, turn the gas low. ana taking one
end of your tulle between two hands,
pass through the steam, gently stretch
ing and smoothing and rolling up as you
go. In this way you can steam yards
and yards of tulIe without letting the
done you have roll of fresh, crisp tulie
MOusseline de sole and chiffon can be
done the same way, but sometimes 1t
gives better results by being lightly
pressed under damp rag.
Velvet must be steamed only over wet
cloth thrown over a hot iron. DO not
brush velvet while wet.
IT velvet is very much married and does
not steam out satisfactorily, you can
'mOire'' it by laying it flat and smooth
ing the iron over it the way OF the nap.
Velveteen and plush can be done the
same. Plush gets quite the appearance
Of MORE antique or 'spanne velvet.
To clean white and gray wings shake
gently in box of cornmeal, then brush
and shake the meal out SO as not to
crumple the feathers. Aigrettes wash in
soap laJher, rinse and shake dry in the
sun or near hot store.
Ribbons are steamed by passing over a
wet cloth thrown over a hot iron. 10
Inure the steam going thoroughly
through the creases hold a wad of dry
cloth over white ribbon, with it smooth
ing out the creases. This works much
better than brush. Use clean white
cotton cloths. Some taffeta ribbons will
not come out well by anything but press
ing, with a wet cloth over. If stiff, pull
0 1t on the bias. Treat silks the same
way.
freshen black silk lace by sponging
with alcohol Cream and white silk
iaces, If very dirty, can be cleanssd bS
shaking on benzine or naphtha (taking
care there is no fire or light near). After
they are dry dampen with alcohol and
pin out to dry.
Cotton laces are cleansed by shaking
in lather made of ivory soap paste
rinsed either in plain or blue water; or
for ecru in weak tea or coffee, and
pinned out to dry, being lightly pressed
with cool iron on the wrong side when
dry.

RAISING
The young man has a cousin, Miss
Jane Hemenway, a tall, graceful girl,
with a profusion of dark hair and pref
ty brown eyes, which, however, one is
obliged to view yelled by eyeglasses,
for Jane is somewhat nearsighted. She
lives in Trenton, but often goes to
New York shopping or visiting her
many friends in that city Thus it
would not be surprising to meet her
any day in the shopping district of
New York.
One may meet great many pretty
women in that region, and it is said
that certain feeble minded creatures go
there for that purpose. Surely a man
must be daft who would do it, for the
shopping woman is too completely I'M
der the domination of ''the fixed idea"
to be of interest to any but a student
of hypnotism. She rushes along the
sidewalks in a state of trance, and the
luckless man who gets in her way will
thereafter view the all devouring troll
ley car with gentle unconcern.
Gaines was in the shopping district
strictly On business one afternoon, and
near the intersection of Twenty third
street and Sixth avenue he fancied
that he saw Cousin Jane. She was
proceeding westward with that relent-
less fxity Of purpose that characterizes
the shopper Gaines overlook her and
laid a mildly restraining hand upon her
arm, for it seemed to him that she was
about to plunge out upon the crossing
and collide with a loaded dray.
Don't run over the poor cart horse,
little girl" said Gaines; she has trou-
bles of his own"
She uttered a nervous cry and sprang
away, but he fancied that she was
only startled
"Pass over those bundles to me,
youngster," said he "and we'll nayi-
gate the crossing together"
At this moment he caught the first
fair glimpse at her face. Where were
the eyeglasses that always perched up
on Cousin James nose? Where were
the baby dimples and the smile Of
seraphic good will? This lady was a
very naughty person. She froze him
with the disdain which seemed to sur
round her like an atmosphere. With
her face ayerted, as If the sight of him
would be too painful, she waved her
left hand as one who cries "Avauntp'
The next moment, with head in air,
she swept across the avenue in front
Of a moving car and so close to the
fender that even the hardened motor
man turned pale.
How Gaines got away from the spot
he never knew, but it is his opinion
that he crawled down through the
trolley slot, for surely he felt small
enough to have done so. OF course he
was entirely innocent, but a clear CON
science is a poor consider at such times
The central fact in nature was that
one pretty girl must forever think Of
him as the lowest form Of anthropoid,
the "masher"
Gaines had the misfortune to possess
that fatal gift Of beauty which you
read about in old fashioned novels. He
