Emperor William Issues Order Relative
to Mothers Death.
Berlin. Aug. 7.-Emperor William has
issued a decree ordering the army to go
into mourning for six weeks and giving
minute details as to how mourning em-
.blems are to be worn. There will be no
military music for eight days.
Court circles have been notified as to
how ladies and gentlemen al, court must
dress till November 5. Ladies are to
wear full mourning until Aug. 26; me
dium mourning until September %, min
or mourning until November 5. Some
papers, referring to the prohibition Of
public entertainments, musical and the
atrlcal performances until after the fu-
neral, says it believes this will hinder,
to a certain degree, the purpose for
which 1t was designed. 1t contrasts with
the order of Emperor William i, in
which he declined to make any mourn
ing regulations, leaving the people to
show their sympathy in their own way.

for the Convention.
Cedar Rapids, Aug The uditortum
where the convention is being held was
handsomely and tastefully DECORATED.
The national colors hang from eyery pill
lar and cover in artistic design every
bare spot. Perhaps one of the first
things to attract attention on entering
the huge building is three large silk
flags hanging from the top of the struc-
ture just over the main part of the hall.
Hanging in curves from pillar to pillar
IN the gallery are streamers of bunting.
Each pillar is also entwined with the
same. On level with the floor under
the gallery attached to each post sup
porting the upstairs are large American
flags
On the platform opposite the entrance
the most distinguished men of the con-
vention were seated, and toward this
place all the speakers from the floor d.
rected their remarks, here the presiding
officer and the secretary were seated.
and in the rear the state central COM
mittee and the newspaper men.
In the center OF the stage in front of
the chairmans table is picture OF
Theodore Roosevelt. To the right OF
the center is the portrait Of Hon. David
B. Henderson, who divides the honors
with Roosevelt, his picture appearing
on the opposite corner. Both are ap-
propriately draped.
Above the stage on the railing OF the
gallery are three pictures Of republi-
cans. In the center hangs that OF Iowa's
war governor-Samuel j. Kirkwood. On
either side are portraits Of ex-senator
John H. Gear and Governor Leslie NJ.
Shaw. Just above the right side is the
picture Of William B. Allison. Farther
on in the corner is Honest Abe" Pass
ing along, on the side galleries follow
the likeness Of u. S. Grant, Rutherford
B. Hayes and James A. Garfield. Over
the entrance are the pictures OF Benja-
min Harrison and Gen. John A. Logan.
On the stage at the left, occupying
position corresponding to that of AL
iison. is the photograph Of Senator jon
athan p. Dolliver. In the corner of the
gallery rail are John c. Fremont, James
g. Blaine, Secretary Wilson and Sem
lator Harlan. The picture OF Senator
Harlan was obtained from Robert T.
Lincoln. Senator Harlan's son-in-law.
On the stage is the table for the pre-
siding officer. Tables are also in the
front for the secretaries. A semi-circle
of handsome. cool chairs faces the au-
dience for the prominent visitors. Be
hind these are chairs for the state CEN
trail committee. In the rear were placed
twenty tables for the Representatives Of
the press. A handsome large rug is in
front Of the stage, while Ave or six
smaller ones make soft covering for
the aisles leading to the rear Over the
stage are hung several large flags and
bunting fills the space along the gallery
rail between the pictures OF prominent
republicans. Immediately above and
behind the platform in the gallery ia the
space reserved for the local band, which
provides convention music.

Nearo Sold for Vaaranoy.

Taylorsville. KY, Aug. There was
a curious scene today. and one that re-
minded the older citizens of slave days,
when Auctioneer Crabb stood upon the
court house steps and sold Sy Lewis
colored, to the highest bidder. A large
crowd was present, but no one seemed
anxious to bid, probably because it was
uncertain whether one could get any
real benefit from the negro If he pur-
chased him. He was finally knocked
down to Arch Hays, a young farmer,
for So. Lewis was sold into servitude
for period of nine months upon being
convicted at the last term of the circuit
court OF yagrancy.
