The Philadelphia Record recalls
some political prayers made by chap.
lains of legislative bodies. 1t was
inoffensive, but in poor taste, when a
chaplain in the Delaware legislature
prayed; "Oh, Lord, Thy servants are
in a deadlock Give them the key"
During the last Cuban instruction a
chaplain in Legislature prayed: That
the United States might supply with
arms, if necessary, those in Cuba who
were struggling for liberty" and that
we might insist upon unfolding the
Monroe doctrine" The chaplain Of
the Illinois house prayed God to con
tract the capacious nav Of the penal
reformatory institutions of Illinois.
May they learn 10 be content with less
money, and may we who refuse to
worship a golden calf also refuse to
worship gold in any form"
The chaplain Of a populist conven-
tion in Arkansas prayed that the state
might be delivered from democratic
control. In the Colorado legislature
Dean Peck prayed that the populists
and democrats might be resigned 10
their fate. A populist chaplain in
Kansas prayed God to palsy the brain
and still the heart of the reasonable
conspirators," to-wit, the republicans.
In Massachusetts, campaign a min
lister prayed for the triumph OF right
eousness, and then broke out: "Oh.
Lord, what's the use Of beating about
the bush? Give US Briggs for gov.
ernor."

TO DON SUSPENDERS.
Dressmakers Gasp at the Thought
of Aping Mems Toilet.
UItra-FashionabIe style, Neverthe-
less, Seems TO Demand Them-Re-
formers Find an Argument in
the Heavy skirts to lie Worn.

Suspenders came near causing a re-
bellion at the dressmakers' convention
Mt Chicago. When Nine. Eloise Hubert,
who is the arbiter of feminine fashions
in Boston, announced that the fashion
able woman this winter must wear sus-
penders like man every woman In the
room gasped. Then the dissension came
in torrent.
"Horrible!"
Absurd"
"Neverl Never!"
Nevertheless ''suspenders" was the
question OF the hour and after the even
ing's programme had been finished knots
of women gathered In the corridors of
the Lexington hotel and in the parlors
and asked each other the question:
.wlll your" Every other topic paled and
the attention of every woman was riv-
eted on the new reform. The majority
agreed that they would frown on the in
novation. but If it becomes "swagger"
and the correct thing to do those who
frowred hardest may be the first to
adopt the suspenders.
a
strong possibility exists that these same
startling acquisitions to woman's toilet
may become this winter one of the main
stays of the gowns. whether street,
house or those designed for evening
functions, that the Chicago society
woman will wear. At the recent exhibit
tion of the newest things in gowns, both
imported and of domestic design, re-
Gently held at the New York fashion
show, the idea of adding suspenders to
women's wear as an aid in supporting
the heavy skirts which the prevailing
fashions demand was advocated by a
number of the fashionable modistes of
the east.
Nine. Hubert has designed and manu-
featured an article or a pair of articles
closely resembling the suspenders worn
! by men and these she exhibited at the
convention. The idea in wearing this in
vention is to use the shoulders in sup
porting the heavy skirts, thus relieving
the waist and hips of all strain. While
| the idea is not new one among re-
! formers, the design by Nine. Hubert is
| thought to be the most convenient and
the most practicable of any thus far in
! troduced.
When a working model Of the Hubert
| pattern was sprung on the members of
the association and the visitors a mighty
murmur of disapproval arose and
swelled as the purpose of the display
was explained This lessened, however
as the speaker adjusted the new article
to lay figure. 1t worked well enough
and In about the time it take automati-
cally to harness a horse in fire engine
house when general alarm has been
sent In the skirt used in the demonstra-
ton was hitched to the lay figure.
Here the murmur of disapproval dis
appeared entirely and was replaced by
looks Of incredulity. The good points oi
the model were presented to the audi
ence and its beneficial results when
| worn were dilated on

THEY MUST CLOSE UP.
No More Nutria Psrlors Nor
Gambling Houses Allowed to
Ruu After July Is.

United States Marshal Madsen,
in conversation with a Daily Ex-
press reporter yesterday, stated
the order given Nutrla and dealers
in similar drinks till July 10 N
which to dispose Of their stocks
and then close up was genuine,
bona-ade order this time, aud
would be enforced to the letter.
"There will be no more drink
ing or gambling permitted in
Ohickasha after July Is, said Mr.
Madsen. II have been given
strict orders to enforce the law
prohibiting the sale of liquor to
the very letter, and / am going to
do it. Gambling will also have to
90, and If the order is not Obeyed
the offenders will have to answer
to the court for their violation"
There Is considerable diversity
Of opinion regarding the effect the
enforcement of the law will have.
There are Is places in ChIckasha
where these liquors are sold, and
il all these places are compelled to
close there will be some vacant
business property. The Express
understands some OF the dealers
are preparing to close, while
Others are making no preparations
whatever, merely saying they dc
not believe thsre is anything in tue
order, and that they will not close
until they have to.

mittee on building and grounds, is
on the corner Of Sixth and Min
nesota, directly opposite and south
Of the First Presbyterian church.
The lot, 50xl65 feet, can be OBJ
taiued for $500. If all the men
visited by the soliciting committee
will contribute as they sre able,
however small the amounts, the
desired SUN can be easily raised.

be ready to talk TO the ladies when
they visit you.

The beautiful, simple ceremony of
the Jewish church was performed at
the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. Julia
GRAF, parents of the bridegroom, Sun
day evening at 6 O'Clock by Rabbi DR..
M. Lefkovits. Just a few intimate
friends and near relatives were pres
ent. :.
The parlor had been transformed
into a bower of bloom, beauty and
fragrance, the greenery of ferns and
the exquisite loneliness of carnations
having been combined in the decora-
tions by the hand of an artist.
The bride, endowed by nature with
rare loneliness and grace, was radi-
antly beautiful as she took her place
before the rabbi. She was simply, but
exquisitely gowned in white crepe ju
chine, at the throat of which blazed
a diamond sunburst, the gift of the
groom. She carried brides roses. The
bridesmaid, Miss Rosa Goldsmith, sis
ter OF the fair devOtee, wore a becOm-
ing costume of white null and carried
| pink roses. The groom was attended
by his brother, Mr.. Joseph GRAF.
L The impressive, meaningful cere-
mony at an end, the guests, after
greeting the happy pair with the
heartiest good wishes and congratula-
tons, sat down to a delicious COLA
