CAPT. wISE'5 Posi- ION.

WE read with satisfaction the re-
marks accredited to Hon GEoRaE d.
WISE. The following is the extract to
which we refer:
Captain George d. Wise, who was
nominated as one o. the Democratic
candidates for the Constitutional Con
vention from this city. has some d B.
cided vie VS. on the suff age question.
which he does not hesitate to express
Captain Wise does not believe in the
wholesale disfrsnchisement OF the Ne
gro, and says IL such q proposition is
made in the convention he expects TO
deliver carefully prepared argument
against it
he says he will oppose the whole
sale wiping out OF the Negro vote on
two grounds first. because he believes
it IL in conflict with the United States
Constitution and will not vote for any
clause thatwill not stand the test of
the courts; and. second, because he
contends that il is against the very
spirit of American institutions. Gap
tsiR Wise Gays that one OF the great
issues upon viii 81 American independ-
ence was Won was that no people
should be taxed without representa-
ton, and he will never give HE vote in
violatioD OF that great principle.
He says Virginia has led her sister
States in the past and that this IL one
Of her greatest opportunities. Toe
time ia here, in the opinion OF Captain
Wise, when she can set the pace by
making an up-tc-date Constitution
which will stand the test of the courts
and lead co q higher and better ciyiii-
xAtion in the South.
he believes she eyes OF the civilized
world are upon Virginia now and it be-
hooves her representatives in conven-
ton to so act rs TO win the pIaudits of
nankind-to open the gates of the
South to capital and to bury the Lass
vestige of sectionslism.
In looking over the list Of men
who have been nominated for the con-
vention so far concluded Captain
Wise. L am constrained to believe that
the convention will make q Oonstitu-
tion which will not only be adopted by
the people at the polls, but which will
be rich heritage TO those who are to
follow for all time"
Captain WISE said equally ss much
along this line before he was nominst-
ed and his endorsement carries with
it an approval Of his views.

HOMEMADE DRESSES.
HOW a TAILOR BLOUSE SUIT CAN BE
MADE.

One OF the Newest and Most Popular
of All Outdoor Costumes-An sorts

Copyright. 1901. by American Press Association.
The tailor blouse suit is one OF the
newest and best liked of all the out
door costumes, especially for young
women. 1t Is made OF all sorts OF
wooden materials. but the most suitable
are the smooth surfaced goods, like
cravenette suitings, whipcords, coverts
and mixtures. A few are made of
cloth, aud some are of venetian, but
the handsomest are OF the heavy era
venette coverts. These come from dab
to 4S and 50 inches wide. 1t requires
i've yards OF the widest to make a suit
like the one In the illustration, which
shows the tailor blouse.
The skirt to this Is what Is known as
the fare skirt, and, as is usual with
tailor suits, 1t is made quite plain. 1t
Is finished simply at the bottom by
binding Of velutina.
There Is always a fancy shirt waist
to wear with the blouse suit, and this
Is still further ornamented with a lace
cravat. such as was worn by the sin
croyables." Anything to set 1t out In
front The blouse Is made so that 1t
can be worn open or closed at will. The
back is shaped like any dress waist,
and cut of at the belt line. but under
the belt. falling over the skirt, are two
little tablike positions. These are
faced with the same kind OF silk as the
lining OF the blouse. The back has four
pieces-viz, two center and two side
back pieces. The fronts are SO much
deeper under the arms that no undA~-
arm pieces are needed. At Just os.~
half OF the way between the side sears
and the front Is a dart which gives q

ed manner. The fronts at least OF the
blouse must be lined with silk or satin
or panne. The collar and the revers
are OF panne stifiiy stitched with black,
and a very narrow black soutache
braid can be added to accentuate il.
The whole front OF this kind of a
blouse is lined with light weight buck
ram, and this is to be stitched in over
cast until it is fairly quilted on to the
lining. And yet not one OF these stitch
es must show. The front OF the tailor
blouse Is cut wide enough to fasten in
double breasted style If occasion should
require 1t. There are three frog but
tons on each side, and to make them
firm a small piece OF buckram is put
under them, and then they are sewed
fast with that as a stay.
The sleeves are coat shape from the
shoulder almost to the wrist, where
they widen out to a narrow flowing
shape. This is easy and only requires
that instead OF narrowing it into the
wrist ii be cut a little wider, say two
inches, as the cuff adds to the effect.

tends to the wrists, and at the bottom

1t Is not absolutely necessary to use
panne, for white cloth or taffeta or
velvet can be used in its place. The
pulled undersleeve is OF plated silk
muslin. To make the sleeve, first cut
and sew the lining, and then sew the

to Vote For "the Long Name" and
the Word "Democrat" Was Then
Changed to "DemocratIc."
Frederick. Ma, April 1.-THE FIRST
election held in the state under the
new election law was the municipal
election in this city yesterday. Owing
to the arrangement of the names OF
the candidates In alphabetical order
the count was slow. George E. Smith,
Democrat, was elected mayor by a ma
tority Of 1873 over William H. Rams
burg, Republican. The Democrats elect
all the aldermen by average majori-
ties OF about 100. Gittinger, Republi-
can, for register, is elected by 81 ma
tority. Many ballots were defective.
The action of the supervisors in put
ting the word Democratic after the
name OF each Democratic candidate, so
that It would conform in style and APP
pearance and occupy exactly the same
space on the ballot as the word IRE
publican" caused much complaint
among the Republican managers.
1t is said that the colored illiterates
were instructed to vote for the long
name, and when the Democrats learned
this they changed the word Demo
crat" to Democratic" Then, accord
ing to general report, the illiterates
were told to vote for William H.
Ramsburg, who heads the ticket, the
Republican candidate for mayor, and
Edward A. Gittinger, who heads the
ticket on the second block, the Repub-
hcan candidate for register, and to let
the rest of the ticket go, for any at
tempt to vote for an aldermanic can
didate might endanger the entire bal
lot.
The registered vote OF the city is
1850, Of which there are 401 illiterate
or this last number 265 are colored.

The cause of his death is general
