SIR. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN was
she chief speaker at the Jackson Day
banquet at New Haven, Conn.,, last
night. Among other things be said he
was glad to find some democrats who
were not dlshearteued by defeat aud to
meet men who are democrats for prin.
ciple whether the principle be popular
or not. &c dwelt much on civilization,
aud maintained that the moral element
was paramount, denied that the money
question is q dead issue, ssssiled the
Supreme Court decision In the Downes
case, and expressed the belief that the
valor of the Beers, despite rsverses,
had cost Great Britain so dearly that
republics all over the world, wherever
situated, would be safe. In many things
Mr.. Bryan voiced the principles of true
democracy, and in endeavorlng to fan
into fame the silver Issue of 1S96.1900
showed his faith in the sixteen to one
plank to be as pronounced 90 ever,
though many of his supporters are en-
deavoring to think of something else.

CABINET LADIES TALK STYLE.-The
ladies of the Cabinet held their weekly
session on Tuesday. The dinner jacket
was the topic discussed. Mrs.. Roose.
welt has been greatly annoyed by the
persistent efforts OF modistes to gain
ner approval for some special style of
this garment. The mails have brought
her many designs, and acquaintsRces
and friends have been pressed into ser
vice TO bring some special pattern to
DER notice. This is extremely irritaI-
ing to Mrs. Roosevelt, as she has no
Jesire to pose as censor OF style.
The Individual taste Of the wearer
must dictate the style and material to
De used. She mas also announced that
no more State dinners will be served In
be long corridor OF the White House.
The corridor cannot be warmed to q

mer without a refrigerator car and the
dealer, In order to have it down to 90 TO

delivered until tbe next, making II "a

Judge James w. Marshall, though
defeated 10 his effort to secure q
definite date for the settlement of tie
suffrage question 10 the constitutional
convention. has not fsItered 10 his
determination to bring 1t to an issue.
He offered similar resolution yester-
day to the one defssted on Tuesday,
extending the date TO the 10Th, aud
ssked that it 10y Cd the table for three
days. 10 the meantime he Will gather

convention yesterday made consider
able progress With the judiciary report.
OF many amendments made only one
of importance was successful, that OF
limiting q judicial district to 10000
population instead OF 10000
The convention empowered the Gen
eral Assembly to prescribe the mode oil
appointing or electing justices OF The
peace. The report OF the judiciary
committee recommended that these
officers ne appointed by the circuit
judges in the counties and the Hastings
Court judges 10 the cities.
Mr.. Gordon mode an attack upon the
magistrates, especially those in Hen
rico and nearby sections. He moved
that these officers In cities should be
appointed by the judges of the Hustine
Court. The convention, after debating
the subject az length, finslly referred II
to the Legislature.
There was q very determined opposi
ton manifested against taking away
from the people the right to elect JUS
tees Of the peace. Mr.. Gordon, OF Mel
sou. said that the people OF the State
would resent this continual invasion OF
their rights by this convention, DE-
seemed to think that the body bad gone
about as far as ii could safely 90 10 that
direction.
There was q sensation 10 the suffrage
conference Of the convention last night,
when the members OF the suffrage com.
mittee who prepared the minority re-
port announced that they bad dster-
mined to withdraw their plan and &C
cept that offered by Senator Carter
Glass, which provides for temporary
understa nding, poll tax and education

encs. IL was decided last night to hold
conferences every night hereafter ex-
cept Saturdays, and to proceed as
though 10 committee OF the whole. A
proposition to give the suffrage the
right OF way at the day sessions was de
feated. The action last night seems 10
justify the belief that the suffrage ques-
ZION is 10 fair way to be settled be-
fore very long.

The Water Bill Paid.

At an adjourned meeting of the
town council held on Tuesday night
of last week the bills of Miller d Cash
against the city for water for fire
protection, for the period of nine
months, and amounting to $803. rs
were allowed, and a warrant ordered
drawn on the treasurer for payment.
A former council had decided, after
taking legal advise, that the contract
between the city and the water com
pany, was illegally entered into,
and had thereupon paid up to the
time of such discovery and served
notice on the company that no fur
ther payments would be made on the
contract.
The new council has simply over
turned the action of it's predecessor
and paid the bills which have &C
crued up to the present time.
AT the regular meeting early in the
month Mr.. M. ii. White, president
of the council, was instructed to OBJ
tain legal advise regarding the pay
ment. He saw Mr. s. J. Hilburn, a
prominent Palatka attorney, who
gave all opinion which in sub
stance stated that, the contract be-
tween the city and the water COM
pany was not legally entered into;
that as the former council had Eoti-
fled the company that no further pay
ments would be made, there was no
obligation to pay; but that if the
council saw fit to pay it the members
could not be held criminally liable.
1t was by many considered NOR
al obligation and to them the
morals of the question greatly out.
