DeARNOND HIS Withdrawn
the Brilliant MiSSOurlan no Longer
a Candidate fOr the Senate.
RECEPTIVE CANDIDACY NOT FAVORED
By the PeOpIe--This Leaves the Field
Practically 10 Governor Stone.

The Hon. D. A. DeArmond has
withdrawn from the race for the
senate in the following open letter
sent out from Washington:
To the Missouri Democracy:
In an interview not long ago,
stated that, although a candidate for
reelection to the national house OF
representatives, I desired, also Qarge-
ly In Difference to the Judgment and
Z wishes Of many leading democrats,
who insisted that by offering myself
for that Office | might promote the
party welfare) to be considered for
the United States senatorship. Since
then / have learned that many do not
favor a candidacy of the receptive
order, for they have been insisting
that / return to Missouri and make an
active and vigorous canvass for sena-
something which / cannot do
without neglecting my duty here. 1t
seems to me that l could not, with
propriety, or in justice to my constit-
uents, slight the duties Of the humber
Office which l now hold, in order
to make a protracted personal effort
to win the higher one to which l
venture to aspire.
1t has become evident to me, too,
that it is the impression of not a few
whose Judgment respect, that l
should not, by remaining here, cast
upon Others the whole burden of the
Z contest. OF course, | cannot COZ
scientiously permit myself to appear
as desiring or being willing to draw
too heavily upon the attachment or
good will Of personal Or party friends.
Therefore, as the simplest and
plainest thing possible, l recall the
REQUEST for consideration as a sena-
torial aspirant
| might close here, but-thanks to
the courtesy of the press-I need not
deny myself the pleasure of acknowl-
edging now, though briefly, my debt
of gratitude to many newspaper men
and others who have been very kind
to me. To the friends who generously
and bravely rallied to my support
more ambitious for me than am fol
myself, / am deeply grateful. Fol
the many complimentary newspaper
notices and for the warm support
voluntarily and cheerfully given by
many good democrats, uninhuencet
by the ties of personal friendship,
return my sincere thanks. And to
wards those friends who, exercising al
undoubted privilege, withheld thel
support or gave it to another, ! hav'
none but kind feelings so far as
am concerned, our friendship is undis
turbed. Always glad to make nev
friends, muca more is required t
draw me away from the old friends o
influence me to find fault with them
earnestly hope, and conhdentl,
expect that Missouri's new senate
win be democrat, the choice of tn
democratic masses; and their choic
will be my choice.

From the purely artistic point of
view the power to blush is one Of the
most requisite and commendable Of
physical endowments. Old men are
past blushing; very young children,
idiots and the lower animals cannot
blush; but it appears that some tribes
still on the outskirts Of barbarism pre-
serve the faculty to an astonishing de-
gree.
The blush is a grace of life, a mark
Of vitality and Of youthfulness. 1t be
tokens a great cerebral sensibllity sec
onded by a perfectly sensitive skin. By
sort OF instinct for personal defense
at the slightest attack-a word or
mere glance-there is a gush OF energy.
1 say energy, and not emotion. The
heart beats no faster, but a signal
from the brain sends a rush Of all the
spare blood to the skin, and, owing to
the congestion Of the small blood YES
sells, an extraordinary glow spreads
over the face to the tips Of the ear, to
the roots of the hair, to the throat,
sometimes even 10 the top Of the
bosom.
Darwin saw the back Of q young girl
blush and declares that in certain cir

Saratoga is to be congratulated
with the promptness and vigor with

officers have stamped out the scarlet
fever contagion. So strict has been

and so faithfully have all parties CON

contagion is today a thing of the

family ON yesterday and the Button
family, who have fortunately been
but slightly afflicted, will soon be re-
leased. All of the worst patients are
