WILD ENTHUSIASM
FOR SENATOR DAVIS.
Home State Democrats Call
1. Candidate Gladstone Of
Vast Y::rcinia."

Parkersburg, W. Va. Aug. A.
The West Virginia Democratic state
convention lie desdlocked on the
question Of negro Acknowledgement.
The entire southern end OF the state
is solid for a declaration in the plat
form in favor OF white supremacy
and the Acknowledgement OF the ne.
gro. Their representatives are de-
man ling it and Senator Henry G.
Davis Is opposing it.
c. Wood Daley, close friend, coun-
seller and business partner of Mr..
Davis, is chairman OF the COMMITTEES
on resolutions and 1t is probable
that Mr.. Davis wishes will be de-
ierred to by the committee, which
may compromise by mild declara-
ton along the line of white suprem-
acy.
Mr.. Davis was given the greatest
ovation ever received by any one In
a Democratic convention In West
Virginia when he appeared before
the convention, For a quarter oil
an hour such a storm of applause
was kept up that not a word could
be heard. Flags, banners, parasols
and haDdkerchiefs were waved and
continuous cheers from 5000 throats
was kept up till everybody was ex-
hausted. The mention OF his name
in the speech Of Chairman John T.
McGraw was followed by similar
scene, and it is plain that "the grand
old mantle Gladstone OF West
Virginia" as he was called by Mr..
MeGraw, is the idol OF the West Vir-
ginia Democracy.
As Mr.. Davis was concluding some
one yelled: "Hurrah for a white
mans party" when Mr.. Davis re.
piled: II certainly agree with you
on that proposition"

William Frye Of this city reported
to Chief Hayes to day that he had
been robbed Of $500 by a burglar,
who entered his home between and
2 O'Clock this morning. After secur-

turning on every gas jet. The money
represented DR.. Frye's savings for
years. He had been carrying it be-
cause he feared to trust 1t to bank.
In telling OF the robbery, DR.. Frye
said: -r Aa

A Broad Road to Hades..

There is but little surprise among
those familiar with legislative bodies

Illinois, Is a true to life treatment OF
this subject. He says:
"When q young man ofrespectable
parentage. fair education, good
character and honorable ambition,
comes to the Legislature Of bis state
to represent the constituency and
begins public career which he hopes
will make him famous and bring
glory to his family, he is at once
sought by the lobbyist and the older
members who are schooled in cor
ruption, and Is made to understand
that II he would succeed in politics
he must be "a good fellow"
"On all sides he Is fattered, direct

A MILD RELIGIOUS ROOTER

Went TO thu ball game SATURDAY. and
sat beside a man
Who was curiosity contrasted with
A mild-appearing ased man, with hair
almost as white
AS a bank of never-melting snow on
yonder mountain height.
He wore a gentle. kindly face, smooth
shaven. and his speech
Was soft and mellow in it's how as
pulp of ripened peach,
And as ne watched the stirring game
he did not yell or hoot;
Declared himself in what you'd call q
mild, religious root.
That hit was good. 1t was, indeed
My. how that man can run,
The pitcher sends the ball like it was
fired from deadly gum"
And when the ball was hit with force
that seemed to stun the bat,
He rubbed his hands in glee and said :
why, bless me, look at that.

Dinner Gown in New Suede Satin.

The new suede satins are we'll

their surface which characterizes the
skin from which they take their name
Some what on the peau de sole weave
and yet sheer and supple as chiffon,
this weave lends itself we'll to the
handmade designs. The gown OF the
picture is one that has all the air of
an expensively elaborate creation and
yet the girl who is clever with the
needle can copy it readily The blouse
is fashioned uplined and the round
yoke is entirely covered with medal
lions of repousse lace connected with
sprays of Brussels in an excellent im-
itation web The sleeve is a circular
puff with long deep cuff, the cuff
adorned with medalors joined with
straps Of turquoise velvet. The skirt
is gored. the cores instead of being
scanned are Joined with fancy Mexican
stitched in heavy ivory Prise silk
Groups of tucks space the skirt above
the deep circular iounce, which
adorned with two sizes of medallons
makes smart finish to the skirt. All

OF Two Harmonzina Materials.

There is growing fancy for the
use of two materials in the construc-
tion of a gown and the newest mani
festation in this direction employs
a plain fabric in conjunction with an
embroidered one of the same char
acter. This is seen 10 advantage in
the simple street gown pictured in
which the shirt holero is of the chiffon
vole in medium shade of coffee

cred in pale green and ecru, while
the skirt is of the plain material The
coat is shirred over small cords all
around the shoulders. the shirrings
caught into an embroidered band in
which green. gold. pale blue and brown
show up about equally. The sleeve
is a double Duff, also of the embroid-
cred voile. the shirring at the elbow
caught with a band OF black velvet
ribbon, and the cuff is wrinkled in
mousquetaire style. There is deep
