Pinky Prsttiness.

Among the very most fetching of the
handsome heavy linen dresses which
are seen upon the best dressed women
are the occasional ones of coral pink.
These are beautifully fresh looking,
and very many of them show white
collar sailor or Otherwlse) which is
rather cut out to display the soft, white
under-blouse.
One such dress Is but a series of
tucks, not tucks con the straight" but
rather, rascally, difficult tucks, which
are very close together at the waist
line, but spread to a distance Of two
inches apart where they cease, just be-
low the knee, the fullness forming a
fare round the feet.
Though graduated to correspond, the
tucks in the blouse continue the length
of this little garment, as do those in
the sleeve.
This dress is equally Lovely In old

Hon. James d. Richardson, chair
man of the notification committee,
made a brilliant speech in announcing
TO the candidates the honor conferred
upon them ct Kansas City.
Mr.. Bryan spoke on the question Of
imperialism, entirely ignoring silver,
trusts and other issues Of the cam
paign. This fact was the sensational
feature Of the day.
Mr.. Stevenson covered the several
issues, but made scant reference to
silver, combining his remarks on the
subject to the statement that the party
had reafHrmed the demand for bimet-
allism.

the course will be adapted especially
to the country schools, but it will be

that it may tend to stem the tide of

Hon. William J. Bryan, in accepting
the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent, began his acceptance speech as
follows:

more formal manner, accept the nomi.
nation which you tender, and / shall
at that time discuss the various ques-
tons covered by the Democratic plat
form. 1t may not be ont of place.
however, to submit few observations
at this time upon the general character
OF the contest before us, and upon the
question which is declared to be of
paramount importance in this cam
paign.
when l say that the contest of
1900 is a contest between Democracy
on one hand and plutocracy on the
other, do not mean to say that all
our opponents have deliberately chosen
to give to organized wealth predomi-
mating influence in the affairs of the
government, but do assert that on
the important issues of the day the
Republican party is dominated by
those influences which constantly tend
to elevate pecuniary considerations
and ignore human rights"
"The Democratic party is not max
ing war upon the honest acquisition of
wealth; it has no desire to discourage
industry economy and thrift. On the
contrary, it gives to every citizen the
greatest possible stimulus to honest
toll, when it promises him protection
In the enjoyment of the proceeds of
his labor. Property rights are most
secure when human rights are re-
spected. Democracy strives for civ
ilization in which every member of So
ciety will share according to his merits.
The most striking sentences of Mr..
Bryan's speech were the following:
"If elected president, I shall con-
vene congress IN extraordinary session
as soon as am inaugurated, and re-
commend an immediate declaration of
the nations purpose.
"Flrst, To establish a stable form
of government in the Philippine
islands, just as we are now establish
ing a stable form of governmental the
island of Cuba;
Second, To give independence to
the Filipinos, just as we promised to
give independence to the Cubans;
"Third, To protect the Filipinos
from outside interference while they
work out their destiny, just as we
have protected the republics of Central
and South America, aud are, by the
Monroe doctrine, pledged to protect
Cuba.
"The Republicans shall not be per-
mitted to evade the stupendous issue
of imperialism.
1--WE cannot repudiate the principle
of self-government in the Philippines
without weakening that principle at
home.
"The advocates of imperialism in
this country dare not say word in
behalf of the Beers.
1.-THE Democratic party does not OPP
pose expansion when expansion en-
larges the area of the republic.
eff we have al Imperial policy we
must have large standing army.
"The Republican party has accepted

'titute our yoke for the Spanish yoke.

Hon. Adlai Z. Stevenson, in accept
ing the Democratic nomination for
vice president, said in part:

tion by the national Democratic con-

to you, Mr.. Chairman, and to your

imperialism means a permanent
departure from all the traditions Of the
past; from the high ideals of the
founders of the republic. It abro-
gates the holding of our great court
that the declaration of independence
is the spirit of the government-th
constitution but its form and letter.
Imperialism knows nothing of lin
itations of power Its rule is outside
the constitution. It means the estab.
lishment by the American republic Of
the colonial methods of European
monarchies, 1t means the right to
hold alien peoples as subjects. It en-
thrones force as the controlling agency
in government. It means the empire,
Gas necessary corrollary to impe-
rialism will come the immense stand
irg army. The dead hand of militarism
will be felt in the new world, as it is in
the old,
I'm the light of history, can It be
possible that the American people will
consent to the permanent establish
ment Of largo standing army, and
its consequent continuing and ever
increasing burden of taxation?
"Only those who believe that our
own country has outgrown the doc
trines Of the fathers are in sympathy
with England's attempt to establish
monarchy upon the ruins of repub-
lies.
'Ihe baleful but logical result of
the tariff law condemned by our plat
form is seen in the sudden growth Of
giant monopolies, combinations in re-
straint of lawful trade and trusts more
threatening than foreign foe to tie ex-
istence of popular government.
''The ills resulting from unjust leg
islation, and from unwise administra-
tion of the government, must find
their remedy in tho all-potent ballot.

A paramount incident in the nomI-
nation of Stevenson at Kansas City,
which was inadvertently omitted from
these columns in the hurried and brief

proposes to run its trains ito miles an

petition with a view to determining
whether the proposed rate of travel
would be safe The projectors Of the
line produced expert witnesses who
declared that 1870 and even $50 miles

but safe for passengers, Though they
admitted that a train going at the rate
of $50 miles an hour could not be

New Uniforms.

The uniformed employees on the
b. q o. system will came out with
their summer attire on April 1st.
The new uniforms will differ very
materially from that ever worn be-
fore or on any other road. 1t will
be almost exactly the pattern of the
regulation uniform for the United
States naval officers. The coat and
vest will be cut straight from the
collar down and a necktie will not
be necessary. The conductors will
wear blue serge andthe brakeman and
baggagemasters slate blue. On
the peaked lapels Of the coat will
be the B. d O. monogram in gold.
All the caps will be of blue cloth,
but of light weight, with longer
peaks that the old ones. On those
of the contractors the word Con
ductor'' will be worked in gold,
while those Of the brakemen and
baggagemasters will bear black
celluloid card, lettered in gold.
There will be no white caps, but
conductors will be permitted to
wear blum vests.

shady, had many suspicious visitors,
and would be gone for two or three
days at a time.
A gang Of men left his house last
night at l1:45. At 1890 we heard
about fifty rifle shots at Pagsanyaun
little town just south of here. This
morning we learned twenty-five or
thirty insurgents had attacked an
out post of the 42nd regiment. The
post was guarded by four men, two
asleep and two on duty. The two
sleeping men were riddled with bull
lets, while the two on guard escaped
by hiding in bamboo thicket.
When we heard of the cowardly
murder, we went to Major Boyd COM
manding the 37th INIT. and told him
what we thought of the house across
the street. In five minutes the house
was surrounded by fifty soldiers. The
house was searched and our Spanish
