DEMOCRATS DIVIDED

DETROIT, Mich, May 31.-Many
delegates and visitors are arriving for
the democratic state convention
which meets tomorrow to elect the
twenty-eight delegates from Michigan
to the st. Louis convention. There
are Indications today that the con-
vention will be lively affair. The
situation has narrowed down to the
point where it is a contest for and
against Hearst instructions or a
Hearst endorsement. Whether the
convention will declare in favor Of
Hearst is a question, but that it will
not endorse Parker or any other can
didate appears to be a certainty.
The Hearst contingent has not put
up much Of 4 fight so far as Detroit
and Wayne county are concerned. but
their strength is understood to be
considerable In other parts of the
state. The Hearst men have been
forming clubs in this city, but they
came TO the conclusion that the May
bury machine was too strong for
them to fight, Maybury having early
declared his opposition to instruc-
tions for any candidate to the Michi-
gan delegation.
But the Hearst men are laying
claims to two-thirds of the delegates
from the rest of the state. and. even
with d. J. Campau's powerful In
fiuence on the side of Judge Parker.
Hearst's friends assert that they will
win.
Not the least interesting feature
of the convention is the question
whether Campau shall be elected the
leader of the delegation to the st.
Louis convention, or whether he shall
be relegatsd to back seat. Some OF
the Hearst men assert that 1t would
be inconsistent to send to st. Louis
a delegation for Hearst headed by an
avowcd Parker man, but others argue
that campau's friendship is better

of salt, dash of pepper When the eggs
are very hard and perfectly cold, rub

little thickening may be needed to give
the right consistency. Use. the finest

should be cold. When hot, serve with
crisp bacon.-Good Literature.

PUTTING UP PUMPKINS.
Simple Method Of Preparing the Fa-
Xorite Pie Material for
Future Use.

Pumpkins are easily canned or dried.
To can, stew till just soft enough to
put through the colander, fill the cans
or jars and set them in pot of water
to cook 20 minutes; then seal.
To dry, stew the pumpkin down
slowly as dry as possible, so dry that
when stirred away from the bottom no
water will gather. When cool, put
through the colander, spread On plates
in thin layers and dry on the back of
the stove. When the top has caked a
little take knife and turn the pump
kin over, breaking in small pieces. 10
this before it has dried onto the plates.
When wholly dry, pack in stout bags,
or in boxes or jars.
To use, for one pie take one-third of
a cupful of the dried pumpkin and soak
over night in cup of milk. In the
morning put on the back of the stove
to warm and mash the Jumps out. Add
more milk and heat hot; add one egg
beaten with three tablespoonfufs of
sugar, quarter of g teaspoonful of Gin
namon, a pinch Of ginger, put into the
crust and bake.

Shot silks, plain and fancy, are used
for vest, yoke and sleeve trimmings,

EMBROIDERED BUTTONS.
These Are Quite Feature in the Trim
ming Of Hats of Latest
Design.

Hats are trimmed with buttons quite
little. There are big button molds COW
cred with plaid silk and embroidered
and these are used in various ways to
trim the fall and winter hats, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. One hat had crush
of silk around the crown, and this was
caught down here and there with big
round, silk-covered buttons.
The embroidered button decorates not
only the hat, but the entire costume,
and, while embroideTing, the girl of in
dustrious tendencies might as well en-
broider a sufficient number to go
around.
In the button supply the girl, of fashion
will need six for the front of her Louis
XIV. coat. She will need four large but
tons for the back of her coat, and she
will require half a dozen the size of a
dime for her stock. These, with supply
for the cuffs and the hat, should about
afford sufficient number for the trim
ming of modish fall costume.
The button question continues to be
an interesting one, particularly as ap-
piled to sleeves. One of the pretty
sleeves of the week is buttoned all the
way down the back A frill of lace falls
down the outside, setting OF the buttons
handsomely. The frill reaches from the
shoulder to the waist, for the entire back
of the sleeve is slit open, filled in with
lace and buttoned up again with little
brass buttons.
Another gown, this one made of dark
green louisine, has a sleeve that is
wrinkled to the elbow. It is slit and the
slit is finished with row of bullet but
tons and lace frill.
