BosToN's MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL.
NO Artist Able to do Justice to the
Charms of Emily Marshall.


'"The pictures of Emily Marshall
that have been preserved" writes
William Perrine of "The Loveliest
Women in All America" in the Ladies'
Home Journal, "do not realize her
beauty as it appeared to those who
knew her. She was about five feet
five inhes in height; her figure was
luxuriantly delicate; her hair was of a
chestnut-brown hue, and her luminous
eyes were said by some to be hazel in
color, by others black. Her cheeks
were rosy and dipled her mouth dis
played teeth of perfect Wilderness; her
hair was worn curled behind the ears
and held by side combs, and her
features were brilliant with expression
when gay or laughing thought came
over her. At one time when she ap-
peared at a fancy ball in the character
of Sweet Anne Page, Of the Merry
Wives of Windsor and danced with
Thomas Willing, of Philadelphia, they
were thought to be the handsomesU
pair that had ever graced such an
event. When Chester Harding, ,he
artist, wrote his autobiography he
confessed that he found it impossible
to catch the living fascination of her
countenance. and he declared that the
artists skill could not be put to a
secerer test, for her beauty depended
much upon the expression OF her ami
mated face, which, when lighted up in
conversation, was bewitchingly love-
ly'"

A MISTAKE OF AMERICAN WOMEN
Overfurnishing Bedrooms is Bad
Taste, Besides Being UnhealthfuI.

dStC, DCSiucS Dciny OnncdiITIui.
''In furnishing our chambers, per-
haps, we commit the grossest viola
tons of the laws of good taste and of
good health at the same time,' writes
Edward Box, in the November Ladies'
Home Journal, in a plea for the
simpler and better furnishing of our
homes. Instead of keeping a sleep
ing apartment perfectly simple, put
ting into it only such articles as are
absolutely necessary, we load into it
confusing mass of all manner of use
less things which have no place there
Then we call such a littered-up room
dainty. Truthfully speaking, the
average sleeping-room is a mess OF
trifies never brought into use, which
have absolutely no business nor place
there. Whereas a sleeping apartment
should have the freest circulation of
air, it is almost impossible for a current
of air to work its way through. We
need not seek to have the barrenness
of the sleeping-rooms of monasteries
or hospitals, and yet there is lesson
in them by which many might richly
profit. Here health comes in even
before good taste. We can scarcely
keep a sleeping-room too airy and
devoid of articles of furniture. Only
what is absolutely needed for actual
use should be in an apartment where
we spend one-third of our lives. The
private chamber is, really, an unerring
reflection of either wisdom or folly, Of
good taste or bad"

cure an international agreement Tor
the free coinage of silver, and the
president Immediately after his in
auguration, by authority Of congress,
appointed a commission composed of
distinguished citizens to visit Europe
and solicit foreign aid. Secretary Hay,
in a letter written to Lord Aldenham
in November, 1898, and afterwards
published in England, declared that at
that time the president and a majority
of his cabinet still believed in the great
desirability of an international agree
ment for the restoration of the double
standard, but that it did not seem
opportune to reopen the negotiations
lust then. The financial law enacted
less than q year ago contains a con-
cluding section declaring that the
measure was not intended to stand in
the way of the restoration of bimetal-
lism, whenever it could be done by
cooperation with other nations. The
platform submitted to the last Repub-
lican convention with the Endorsement
of the administration again suggested
the possibility of securing foreign aid
in restoring silver.
Now the Republican party, for the
first time, openly abandons its ad-
vocacy of the double standard, and in
dorses the monetary system which 1t
has so often and so emphatically con-
demned. The Democratic PARTY, on the
contrary, remains the steadfast advo-
Il oil
the constitution, and is not willing
that other nations shall determine for
us the time and manner of restoring
silver to its ancient place as a stand
ard money. The ratio of 16 to / is
not only the ratio now existing be-
tween all the gold and silver dollars in
circulation in this country, a ratio
which even the Republican admins
tration has not attempted to change,
but it is the only ratio advocated by
those who are seeking to reopen the
mints. Whether the senate, now hos
tile to bimetallism, can be changed
during this campaign or the campaign
of 1902 can only be determined after
the votes are counted, but neither the
present nor the future political COM
pleXion of congress has prevented OF
should prevent an announcement of
the party's position upon this subject
in unequivocal terms.

helpless victims of every monopoly or
ganized. 1t is difficult to over-estimate
the immediate injustice that may be
done, or to calculate the ultimate ef-
feet of this injustice upon the social
and political welfare of the people.
Our platform, after suggesting certain
specific remedies, pledges the party to
an unceasing warfare against private
monopoly in nation, state and city. /
heartily approve Of this promise; If
elected, it shall be my earnest and con-
stant endeavor to fulfill the promise in
letter and spirit. l shall select an at
torney general who will, without fear
or favor, enforce existing laws; shall
recommend such additional legislation
as may be necessary to dissolve every
private monopoly which does business
outside of the state of its origin; and,
If contrary to my belief and hope, a
constitutional amendment is found to
be necessary, shall recommend such
an amendment as WILL without impair
ing any of the existing rights of the
states, empower congress to protect
the people of all the states from injury
at the hands of individuals or corpora
tions engaged in interstate commerce.
The platform accurately describes
the Dingley tariff law, while it con-
demns it as trust breeding measure,
skillfully devised to give to the few
favors which they do not deserve, and
to place upon the many burdens which
they should not bear" Under its op-
GRAFTON trusts can plunder the people
OF the United States, while they sue
cessfully compete in foreign markets
with manufacturers of other countries.
Even those who Justify the general
policy Of protection will find it diff
cult to defend tariff which enables
a trust to exact an exorbitant toll
from the citizen.

THE TRUST QUESTION.
Republican Party Lacks Either Desire Q
Ability to Deal with 1t.

Republican Party Lacks Either Desire or
Ability to Deal with 1t.
The platform very properly gives
prominence to the trust question. The
appalling growth of combinations in
restraint of trade during the present
administration, proves conclusively
that the Republican party lacks either
the desire or the ability to deal with
the question effectively. If as may be
fairly assumed from the speeches and
conduct of the Republican leaders, that
party does not intend to take the peo-
ple's side against these organizations,
then the weak and qualified condem-
nation of trusts to be found in the Re-
publican platform is designed to dis
tract attention while Industrial despot-
ism is completing it's work. A private
monopoly has always been an outlaw.
No defense can be made of an indus
trial system in which one, or a few
men, can control for their own profit,
the output or price of any article of
merchandise. Under such a system the
consumer suffers eXtortion, the produ-
Ger of raw material has but one pur-
chaser, and must sell at the arbitrary
price fixed; the laborer has but one
employer, and is powerless to protest
against injustice, either in wages OF
in conditions Of labor; the small stock
holder Is at the mercy Of the specula
tor, while the travelling salesman con
tributes his salary to the overgrowr
profits Of the trust. Since but small
proportion of the people can share II
the advantages secured by private
monopoly, it follows that the remain
der of the people are not only ex
cluded from the benefits; but are thu

MAN NOW In JAIL TO
BE TRIED FOR LIFE.
Isaiah Deputy Committed to Cell
Charged With Criminally As
saulting his Daughter.

Charged with crime for which his
life alone can pay the penalty if con-
victed, Isaiah Deputy, middle-aged
colored man living between Little
Heaven" and Bowers Beach, was
brought to Dover Jail by Constable
William B. Donovan. His arrest had
been ordered by Magistrate John w.
Emory of Frederica, ON information
received by him that Deputy had GRIM
inally assaulted his daughter, Lena
Deputy.
AIT the hearing before Magistrate
Emory, Deputy's daughter testified to
the assault, which was committed in
the kitchen of their home. Mrs. Annie
Deputy, wife of the prisoner, swore
that she came during the commission
of the crime and secluded herself and
was an eye witness. Deputy declared
that it was an outrageous job put up
by his family to get rid of him. The
girl, Lena Deputy, is not thought to
be Deputy's own daughter, but a
daughter of his wife.
Under the law, Deputy must be
placed on trial for his life ait the Oc-
tober term of county courts, and
Sheriff Wharton formally notified THE
Judges of the development of this
capital case which will necessitate a
calling of the Count of Oyer and Ter
miner to meet October 23. Deputy is
meantime, committed without bail
and will either be hanged or acquitted
according to the statutes of Delaware

GREAT STRIKE
IN COAL REGIONS
Nearly 11S,O00 Miners Lay Down
Their Tools and Strike.
FOR YEARS, TRUST OPPRESSED.
Gigantic Upheavel in the Anthracite
Fields Causes Anxiety Through
ont the Entire COuntry-Strike
Brings Unrest to Many
Homes Elsewhere.

The great strike in the anthracite
coal region of Pennsylvania, ordered
by the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca, began Monday, when between 10O,-
900 and 112,000 miners out of 100000
refused Ito work.
In the Wyoming Galley region the
tieup was absolute, although one mine
at Mocanaqua was worked because the
men were grateful for Christmas pres
ents of turkey and candy made by the
president of the company.
In the Schuylkill district nearly 80
per cent of the collieries were closed
because there were not enough men to
run them, and near all the mines in
the Lykens region were likewise de-
serted.
In the Lehigh district between 5000
and 1000 miners went Ito work, and
half the mines were operated with
greatly reduced forces. i'm ,Shehan-
doah the order to strike was complete
ly disregarded.
The sheriffs of Luzerne, Carbon and
Schuylkill counties were on duty and
prepared for action, but the striking
miners were orderly and peaceful,
their leaders eXhorting them every.
where TO refrain from acts of violence
and rely upon arbitration. A mob
from Park View attacked a crowd of
miners at Trescow and drove them to
their homes.
President Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers, stated that 10000 men
were out, $4,000 in District No. J.; 30,-
600 in District No. 8, and 10000 in Dis
trict No Z. He declared that $4,000
more would strike to-day and that all
would be idle before the end of the
week.
Representative of the operators de-
clared that they had stocks of coal on
hand sufficient to last for six months,
that Ghe men could remain out long
enough and that their demands would
not be granted.
The question of submitting the
whole problem to three arbitrators
was disposed of by Frank Pardee, who
said: Arbitration can now be intro
duced only upon proposition embrace
ing two points, powder ait $1.5O keg
and a 40 per cent. reduction in wages. y
This proposition precludes the pos
sibility of arbitration, as it is preceded
by a condition that each mime shall
have it's own arbitrations and by
refusal to accord any recognition
whatever to the United Mine Workers
of America. This view of the question
will be confirmed at meeting of the
operators ito he held ait Scranton to-
morrow.
Rev. Father Thomas Ducey OF New
York, has arrived in Hazlebon
to survey the situation, with view to
bringing about arbitration. He ex-
pects to make an address Ito the strik-

ADDICKS NOT YET
SATISFIED WITH TICKET.
The Gas Man Orders the Removal of
Dr.. Ball and Mr.. Norman at once
Will Regulars Obey?

The Union Republican State com
mlttee yesterday smashed all the
Republican harmony plans by refusing
to accept DR.. L. H. Ball for Congress
or P. B. Norman for State Auditor
The only announcement made about
Congressman for THE long term was
that DR.. Ball would not be accepted.
and that the Unionists would present
to i.he Regulars the names of five Re-
publicans of New Castle county. any
one of whom would be acceptable to
them The names announced were
Horace Greeley knowles, William S.
S. Hilles, S. Redmond Smith, United
States Commissioner; his brother. ].
ERNEST Smith, or William Lawton.
President of ehe Board Of Trade, and
Washington Hastings. In regard to
State Auditor,the Unionists announced
they would not accept p. B. Norman.
and II there was to be only one can
didate for that office the Regulars
would have to accept Obed w. Marvil.
After the meeting the Addicks men
refused to talk or give amy reason for
rejecting DIR. Ball. 1t was announced
the State Committee would issue a
statement when lit sent formal notice
to the Regulars of yesterdays action.
Some members of THE Unionists claim
Il
they understood in allowing the Regu-
lars to name Congressman, that the
nominee would not be taken from ru-
raj New Castle county, but from Will
mington.
The Regulars claim this is incorrect
and say THE real reason lis DIR. Balls
strong opposition to j. Edward Ad-
dicks. Recently Julian Walker, who
is an Addicksite, and desired the Re
publican nomination for the Legis-
lature from Mill Creek hundred, lis
said Ito have asked DIR. Ball to support
him, and DR.. Ball replied he would
not vote for a man who would vo.t
for Addicks for Senator. These words
reached Addicks, and this is the re-
ported cause of the refusal of the
Unionists to accept DR.. Ball.

Text Of His Letter Accepting the
Democratic Nomination
for President.
APPRECIATES THE GREAT HONOR
Indorses and Approves the Platform
Adopted by the Convention at
Kansas City.
Gives His Views Upon the Question Of
Trusts, the Labor Problem and
Other Subjecst.

William Jennings Bryan's letter ac-
president of the United States is as
follows:
Hon. James ID. Richardson, Chairman,
and Others of the Notification Com
mittee of the Democratic National
Convention:
Gentlemen:-In accepting the nomi-
nation rendered by you on behalf of
the Democratic party, 1 beg to assure
you Of my appreciation of the great
honor conferred on me by the dele
gates in convention assembled, and
! by the voters who gave instruction to
the delegates.
1 am sensible of the responsibilities
which rest upon the chief magistrate
Of so great a nation, and realize the
far-reaching effect of the questions in
yolved in the present contest.
In my letter of acceptance of 1895
made the following pledge:
$50 deeply am impressed with the
magnitude of the power vested by the
Constitution in the chief executive of
se nation and with the enormous in
|nce which he can yield for the ben
or injury of the people, that 1
to enter the office, if elected, free
b any personal desire, except the
Sire to prove worthy of the conf
kence of my countrymen. Human
gment is fallible enough when un-
by selfish considerations, and,
>Rr that may not be tempted to
>2atronage of the office to ad-
ksGSpnal ambition, l hereby
all the emphasis which
s1n express, my fixed determi-
ylon not, under any circumstances,
10 be a candidate for reelection, in
case this campaign results in my cleo
tion.'
Further reflection and observation
constrain me to renew this pledge.
The platform adopted at Kansas City
commands my cordial and unqualified
approval. 1t courageously meets the
issues now before the country, and
states clearly and without ambiguity
the party's position on every question
considered. Adopted by convention
which assembled on the anniversary of
the signing of the Declaration of In
dependence, it breathes the spirit of
candor, independence and patriotism
which characterizes those who, at Phil
adelphia in 1776, promulgated the creed
Of the Republic.
Having in my notification speech
discussed somewhat at length the par
amount issue, Imperialism, and added
some observations on militarism and
the Boer war, it is sufficient at this
time to review the remaining planks
of the platform.
