This Is a great time for David B. Hill.

relish Hill's control, but 1t cannot help it.

WOMEN AS BLACKSMITHS.

Not a Fit Occupation for Them, Says
an Architect.
From the New York Tribune.
Miss Nora Stanton Blatch Of London,
who has passed the entrance examinations
to the civil engineering course at Cornell
University. Is the first woman student to
be admitted to this department. Miss
Batch Is the granddaughter Of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton. She Is a young woman OF
about twenty, tall and Of the brunette type.
When Miss Blatch entered Cornell last
year she chose the arts course, but later,
developing ability In mathematics, she con-
cluded to take up the engineering course.
Three other girl students determined to do
the same thing but none Of them passed
the examinations. It IS said. 80
One reason for Miss Blatch's success un-
doubtedly lay in the fact that she had al
ready dipped into engineering and metal
iurgy. besides doing considerable practical
work in blacksmithing. hWhfe at Cornell

To Eliminate Organism.

1t must be said that outside Of these inf1u-
ences the movement to revivify the New
York democracy has received legitimate en-
coura cement during the last two weeks. l
have noticed a growing belief that the party
may get out from under the shadow Of Mr.
Bryan. Organism in New England is real
iy dead. 1t Is not part of the state plat
form and the personal followers OF Mr.
Bryan who were for him whatever issue he
advocated have been sent to the rear. Moth
ing now indicates that they win elect dele
gates to the next democratic national con-
vention.
Within few days 1 have met number
of democrats who, when l saw them in
midsummer, were discouraged at the idea
or wrestling the control of the party from
Mr. Bryan. Now they talk more hopefully
While 1t takes two-thirds to nominate they
say 1t only requires a majority to adopt the
platform. They feel sure that with these
solidly against Bryan they will have sup
enough to unhorse him, and they want to
make the solidity Of the east clear by show
ing a united and aggressive New York state
democracy. That has much to do with the
present sentiment that they will give the
republicans a hard fight this fall.
In the west it is now well understood that
real inroads have been made into the Bryan
strength and that he cannot have the great
controlling state of Illinois Former Mayor
John p. Hopkins. the gold democrat who is
in control Of the Illinois democratic ma
chine. lately has sent word to his eastern
friends that his grip Is firm and that the
Bryantes will not be able to loosen It. Since
the death Of former Governor AItgeld they
have no leader. Mr.. Hopkins and his asso-
clates in the Illinois democratic machine ex-
pect a glorious thrashing from the republic
cans In November, but that will not hurt
them in their control of the party ma
chinery.
Promises From the South.
In the south The New York democrats
also expect aid, but they are distrustful of
the promises given them. Democrats from
the south who have settled in New York
and who have been very successful in law
and In business. give these promises every
year and then fail to keep them. Yet It 10
thought that few of the southern states
may be held away from Bryan.
These are all very interesting pessibili-
ties. l write of them because they are the
uppermost topics. Their realization may
or may not mean the presidential nomi-
nation for a New York democrat II the
party makes good showing In November.
What is now of moment Is the belief that

WlLLARD-SPENCER PARTY.
One of the Seasons Social Functions
Long TO Be Remembered

The reception and dance given by
DIR. and Mrs. L. E. Spencer and DIR.
and Mrs. L. NJ Willard, last Friday
evening, at Castle hall, was one of the
most enjoyable functions ever partici-
pated in by WauSau people. AT S
@ clock the guests commenced to arrive
and were ushered into the offices of Drs.
LaCount and Jones and DIR. CoElin
which had transformed into dressing
rooms for the occasion. The receiving
party, consisting of Dr. and Mrs. Spen-
Ger and DIR. and Mrs. Willard, was
stationed in the northeast corner of the
hall where they received their friends.
A large number of invitations were sent
out and in spite of the threatening
weather, nearly every one was respond
ed to. There were over 200 present.
At $50 the grand march was formed
and was taken part in by all that the
floor would hold and from that tinle
until early morning, everybody danced
The music was furnished by Geier'S or
chestra of eight pieces. Those who
came to look on even caught the inspi-
ration of the sweet strains of the waltZes
and two steps and joined in with the
dancers.
The hall was decorated very simply
yet never looked more brilliant and
tasty. From the center of the ceiling,
strips of rich colored bunting were ex-
tended reaching to the balcony and
forming a canopy that hid the ceiling.
On the walls were hung mirrors, rugs
and tapestries and in the spaces were
placed evergreen boughs, all of which
rendered very pretty effects and entire
~ concealing the walls. A bank of
palms covered the front of the stage
screening the musicians from view, and
the electric lights cast a soft, red glow
that added much to the beauty of the
many elegant costumes. The decora-
tons were the work of H. l.. Mumm.
The refreshments were served in the
lodge room of the Knights of Pythias
j. p. Young did the catering and sur
passed any of his previous efforts in
that line. 1t was early morning before
the last guests departed, all assuring
the hosts and hostesses that they had
had most enjoyable time.

A SAD ACCIDENT.

A most heartrenderipg accident hap
pened last Wednesday afternoon which
cost the life of a beautiful little girl,
who was the pride of doting parents
and the pet of the family. Elsie Palena
was the youngest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs John /. Youles, who reside three
miles west of Wausau, at Little Rib,
where b. Single so many years operated
a saw mill She was born on the 9Th
day of Sept, 1900, and her age therefore
on the 9th day of April, was one year
seven months and four days.
Wednesday was a beautiful, warm
spring day and for the first time this
season Mrs. Youles wrapped the little
one up and allowed Ter to go out upon
the grass. Before going out, baby-like,
she ran to her mother and father and
said, "good-bye." Mr. Youles was doing
some whitewashiag in the kitchen.
The night before he had moved out a
large cupboard which stood up against
the wall The cupboard is about eight
feet high and is in two paris the lower
taking up about one third. The parts
were at one time securely nailed to-
gether, but moving it about has weak
ened it. Mrs. Youies stepped to the
door to see what her little girl was do
ing and spoke to her, and then went
to attend to some work in another
room. A moment later Mr. Youles
found it necessary to move the cup
board a trifle to give him more room,
and as he pushed it along, the nails
gave way and the top, which was filled
with dishes, fell to the floor with crash
Mr. Youles went around to ASCERTAIN
the amount of damage, when to his hor-
ror he discovered his little daughter
pinned to the floor. bruised, bleeding
and unconscious. Hastily placing the
little one in the arms of her mother, he
ran and jumped upon one of his horses
and came to town for physician
The little girl only lived ten minutes
after the accident. How she managed
to get into the house so quickly between
the time her mother spoke to her and
the moment which interviewed before
her father moved the cupboard can
hardly be imagined as she was out on
the grass and had to climb up several
steps From where Mr.. Youles stood
the door could not be seen. 1t was one
of the saddest and most heartrending
accidents which has ever occurred in
oul county and the deepest sympathy
of all goes out to the grief stricken
parents.

There are so many limitations OF olive
