to roll back right from the floor. All of the
operations Of the summer girl will be con-
Quoted In the open air. The specific for bad
health and poor looks Is a twofold one,
fresh water and fresh air. To this can be
added cheerful spirits.
THE girl who aims to be of the Du Maui
rier type Will become as full of life as a
squirrel for you cannot be healthy without
the balm which Is found In the summer
skies"
Complexion and Carriage.
If you know the English girl, you have
noted four things concerning her. First,
her fine complexion; second, her splendid
carriage; third, her lack of self-conscious-
ness, and fourth. her utter disregard for
the weather. When 1t rains the English
girl goes out just the same. The rain she
regards as healthful 1t invigorates her
system and makes her frame elastic. She
looks upon the moisture as necessary to
her well-being. Just as the rain refreshes
the plants and makes them grow, even so
the moisture exhilarates her and makes
her step elastic.
The English girl looks upon the rain as
an unmixed blessing and the umbrella as
an unmitigated nuisance. Unless dressed
up. she will go out in the elements. letting
the water soak her hat and coat. They will
dry. You see her in the streets of London
ploughing her way through the sleet,
healthy and blooming, and enjoying the
day. The American girl on bad day
houses up. She Is sure she will catch cold II
she goes out. She is positive she will have
sore throat II she gets her feet wet, and
she knows that her rheumatism will never
allow her to tramp in wet skirts. Such a
thing as getting used to the weather never
occurs to her. That water in itself is
harmless to injure her is far from her
ideas.
The girl who does not walk out in the
rain with the drops falling on her face loses
the most health-gving Of all recreations.
She suffers as to her complexion. as to her
lungs as to her figure and as to her general
health. SO. with the advent OF the English
girl there comes the liking for rainy days,
the craving for clear air, the desire to walk,
no matter what the elements may say. and
the habit of breathing good air every min
initiate the English type must learn to be
long and 1.-THE of limb. AS the girl who Is
built short cannot grow legs to suit her
self, she must be content with the next best
long in proportion to her body. This seems
an Impossible task at first. the altering of
ones frame. But when you look about you
will see the dunpy women who have
transformed themselves into long. 1.-the
The woman who Is burdened with fat

to look longer and more graceful.
Cultivating Grace.
Growing in grace is an easy matter for
the Englishwoman, for she has only to
keep up her open-air habits. She does not
grow stout, and she need do nothing but
continue her custom of keeping out in the
open. But the Americaa girl must battle
with her traditions. She must do as her
grandmotherS did and as her mother has
taught her to do. On bad days she must
stay in.
But should the American girl wish to

cast off tradition little she can get her
daily exercise without utterly shocking
| those who belong to her. With the aid of
gymnasium suit and a room which she
can call a gymnasium she can do a great
deal.
The gymnasium suit is absolutely neces-
sary. Without 1t no woman can exercise
properly. The little short corset can be
worn with all it's strings let out. The
short easy-fitting suit need not be of the
bioomer type, nor need 1t be cut on the
regulation lines But 1t must be free and
easy, for in a light suit no woman can get
the benefit of her exercise.
Then to become long hmbed she must
take certain exercises. Any old exercise
will not do. The woman who wants to be
long limbed in proportion to her body
must study the long limbed movements.
Knee Exercises.
A woman who made herself very grace
full and 1.-THE In action. supple and easy.
took the knee bending exercise.
She lowered herself first on one knee
and then on the other, jumping to her
feet when changing the position. Her Sec
ond knee bending exercise consisted Tn
stepping up on top of a chair without US
ing her arms, except as balance. She
stepped up and she stepped down, without
touching the back of the chair For an
awkward woman this is not so easy. Knee
stunts are what is needed when the hips
are too full, and knee movements are the
only ones that will bring the weight of
the body upon the muscles Of the knees
and hips with sufficient force to reduce
the weight.
But the English girl has other qualities,
IL she be of the English type of beauty.
When seated, she sits perfectly upright.
When she sands, she stands erect. That
prim. erect pose with the hands demurey
crossed in front, is typical Of the perfectly
bred English woman. Sitting erect, stand
ing up straight, f1attening the back instead
of curving 1t, are all matters OF habit. One
can learn to be erect, but 1T is a thing
which requires constant practice.
You cannot stand straight part of the
time and expect 10 be always straight The
back grows round very quickly the Shout
ders become cured in much less time than
1t takes them to become straight again. In
three months a woman can grow crooked.
but 1t will take her more than year to
get back all her former grace.
IF there is one point which Is more no.
ticeable than another about the English
figure, 1t is the English shoulder blades ;"
said an expert on feminine beauty. 1.-The
English woman's back is absolutely fiat,
and there is no such thing as a shoulder
blade to be found.
Keep your shoulder blades out of sight,
don't cushion them with fat. If you want
to be beautiful
There is another fine thing about the
English type. namely her happy look She
does not look as though she were suffer-
ing. That is the incest thing about TIE
English type of girl She seems pleased
with the world and with herself.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 2, 1904.
In anticipation Of the state convention.
which will be held ON Thursday of next
week to select delegates to the national
convention. the greatest activity prevails
in democratic circles. The prospect Is that
1t Will be the iveliest state convention
which Indiana democrats have had in
years. For a decade Indiana democratic
conventions have been perfunctory affairs,
but William r. Hearst can at least be
thanked for injecting interest in what
would otherwise be a dull program.
So bitterly and relentlessly has the con-
test been waged between the Parker forces,
under the generalship of National Com
mitteeman Tom Taggart, and the hosts Of
Hearst, commanded by ex-Auditor of State
]. o. Henderson, that at this time-ten
days before the conventional begins to
look as If 1t will be impossible to instruct
the Indiana delegation for any candidate
for President.
All over the state democrats are in a
mood to say: "A plague on both your

convention have been selected, and OF

Effect Of Cleveland's Letter.

Clevelands letter was a tremendous fac
tor in alternating Indiana from Judge
Parker. 1t was like waving a red flag in
the face of the average Indiana democrat.
1t was followed Immediately by a big
slump in Parker stock. Democrats every
where said: I'VE know very little or moth
ing about Parker, but If he is Cleveland's
man that fixes his clock with u.s."
= Hill Is scarcely more popular In Indiana
than Cleveland, and the concern which
Cleveland Hill and Belmont manifest in
Parker's candidacy is taken by the aver
ago Indiana democrat a sure indication
that he Is tied up with the plutocratlc
elements, which propose to use him as a
tool IL elected. The evasive character of
the New York platform is believed to bear
out this theory

Fully 400 VIII Oppose Instructions

1t is now estimated by conservative poll
ticians that as many as 400 delegates will
come to the state convention opposed to
instructions.
Taggart's gar Q is not only to force in
structions, but to tie up the delegation for
Parker by the unit rule, and he is working
the machinery Of the state and many of
the county organizations to this end. His
henchmen understand that If the Parker
ties have a bare majority of only one vote
in the convention 1t is the purpose to en-.
force the unit rule. 1t looks now as If
this would cause stormy scene and prob
ably would end in defeat.
The change in the tide of sentiment
against Parker instructions Is not due to
any greater love for Hearst among Indi-
ana democrats than formerly, but 1t can
be attributed directly to three causes:
% Grover Clevelands letter indorsing
Parker (2) the activity of David B. Hill
and August Belmont in Parker's behalf
and CD the New York state platform.

The Bargain
Counter Legislature.

The present Legislature seems to
be so controlled by the ''organiza-
ton that a large majority of it's
members have no independence.
They must wait to be told by Mr..
Cox and the organization how they
shall vote. The bills seem to be
rushed through under dictation and
bargain and sale, and the wants of
the people are little considered. The
Columbus Dispatch shows up a pend
ing deal as follows:
George B. Cox has secured the sup
port of the powerful lobby of county
officers to prevent the passage of a
county salary act for the electric mule
proposition, in consideration of his
promise that he let his bill, known as
the Williams (of Hamiltonl bill, to
fix county salaries, die a natural
death. That, II is said, led to the
postponement of the Williams bill tC
4 week from next Tuesday.
The canal bill is to be put through
in the meantime. If it is not, Coz
will push his bill. Very fortunately
for Cox the Williams salary bill is il
the hands of the Fees and Salarie,
Committee of the House, of which
Hollis Johnston. the author of the
electric mule bill, is the chairman
The situation is therefore easily con
troiled.

THE Republicans of the Fourth
Ohio District held two conventions,
and nominated two sets of delegates
and electors at Celina Friday. The
Organization" had ignored the Ma
tional call to elect delegates to the
Convention, based on the number of
Republican votes cast, and select
ed their delegates by precincts which
cut Allen and Darke counties out of
some twenty delegates. The Foraker
forces had elected delegates under
the National call. The organization
issued tickets to their own men only,
and put two Democratic officers at
the door to keep the Foraker men
out. They swept past him in a rush,
and when the Convention was called
Jas NJ. Halfhill, Esq, formerly of
Bellefontaine, was the first man up.
The chair recognized him, and then
tried to recall his recognition. But
Halfhill held the floor. The chair
then ignored the Foraker folks who
withdrew, and held a Convention of
their own. They claim to have held
the only convention under the Ma
tional call and that they will be re-
cogni zed at Chicago.

CHAPMAN LAW
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Opinion OF Former Supreme
Judge. Attorney Gen.
erdl, Representative
and Senator.
The People Should Hold April
Elections as Usual.

Judge VIM. II. West, one of the
best constitutional lawyers in the
country, sides with the people, as
usual, in an opinion given below, on
the Chapman law:
To THE REPUBLICAN:
After careful and full examination
of the Chapman Law, abolishing
April elections, am thoroughly sat
isfied that il is unconstitutional in
all its material provisions, and there
fore void. am further clear in the
opinion that the people have the
right, and that it is their duty to
hold the April elections as usual, un-
der the old laws, which still remain
in force; as an unconstitutional law
cannot repeal a constitutional law.
That everybody may inform them
selves, here refer to the clauses of
the Constitution and the decisions of
the Supreme Court bearing on the
question, so far as our people are
concerned. Art. 10, Section l and A.:
Art IL, Section "a: Judicial decisions,
State vs.. Brennan, 40 o. 8. 36s: State
VS.. Beal, and State vs.. Canary, 60 o.
s. 20s.
BY these decisions, it is determined
that in enacting or amending stat
ute creating a county or township Of
fee, the legislature is, by constitu-
tional mandate, powerless to with
hold or take from the people, the
privilege or means of choosing in the
first instance by election, an incum-
bent to fill, possess and administer
each official term, and every moment
thereof, and cannot provide for re-
filing any term or portion of time in
the life of any Office by appointment,
except in case of a vacancy occu--
ring therein, caused by the death,
resi- gnation, or removal for cause, of
qualified incumbent while in the
actual possession of the office after
and under election by the people.
The legislature is PowERLEss TO
create an interval in any Office or
term thereof, and provide that the
incumbent of the proceeding term
sh all, without a new election thereto
by the people, occupy and administer
such interval as his own successor.
What the legislature is forbidden to
do by direct methods, by Art. =, Sec
tion %, it cannot do by indirect meth
ods. If it can create an interval OF
six or ten months, to be administer.
ed by a predecessor in office, without
a new election, it can create an in
terval of as many years to be so fill
ed without election and thus virtual
| ly subvert government by popular
| election. w. Fl. WEST.

American Troops
Capture a Fort.

The Sultan of Sulu was treated
with so much consideration. on our
occupancy of the Philippines, that
he swelled up with Importance, and
has defied the United States. Gen.
Wood has been suppressing the insur-
rections with vigorous hand. On
March z detachments of the seven
teeth and Twenty-third infantry,
Troop b of the Fourteenth Cavalry,
and Gately's battery, in all $50 strong,
under command of General Leonard
Wood, attacked and captured the
Gotta (fort). which was held by the
Datto Ali. who resists the anti
slavery law. His defensive works
were destroyed, and their abandon
ment forced by the accurate fire of
the battery. Two thousand Moros
made their retreat, with a loss of
one hundred. The Americans sus-
tained no losses.
Twenty-four cannon, forty-six lam
tacas NATIVE artillery, and large
of ammunition were cap
tured, and the Notifications reduced.

Harmony in Cleveland.

On Friday, the organization pro-
fessed to have a walk oyer in the
Twentieth District Convention that
was to meet in Cleveland, Sat
urday. When the convention met
they were afraid to allow the conven-
tion to proceed in the regular way,
and CollectorLeecha attempted to take
the meeting out of the hands of the
Congressional Committeeman. He
was thrown bodily off the stage, and
the convention broke loose, each fac
tion holding conventions at the same
time with the convention in the great
est disorder, and an hundred fist fights
going on in different parts of the
house. Both factions agreed on Con-
gresham Beitler for denomination,
but elected separate tickets of dele
gates, alternates and elector.
