FRAME POPULIST PLATFORM
STORMY SESSION OVER TRUST
PLANK FOLLOWS.
Committee Rules That Issuance Of
Money Is Government and Not
a Corporation Function.

ST. Louis, April 4.-The platform
submitted to the populist convention
was completed Friday after an all
night session of the committee Dn res
olutions. Much consideration was
given to the money plank, and when
family accepted by majority OF the
committee it was not satisfactory to
the minority and a fight over its
phraseology on the floor of the con-
yention took place. A debate took
place on the trust plank.
AS prepared by the committee this
plank declared that the issuing of
money is function of the govern
ment alone that should not be dele
gated to any corporation or individ.
ual. The Aldrich bill is denounced
as "a method by which the nation
and the people can both be robbed. 1t
has not in it an intelligent purpose
| that is honest" The Fowler bill is
| also denounced.
The plank on trusts demands that
! the government own and control the
railroads, and all public utilities which
in their nature are monopolies. Own
ership Of the general telegraph and
telephone lines and parcels post
were also asked. The taxation of mo-
nopoly privileges while ti1sy remain
in private hands is another feature OF
this plank. Other planks: The en-
actment of legislation looking to the
Improvement of conditions for wage
earners. Abolition of child labor and
suppression of sweat shops. Adolf
ton of convict, as opposed to free,
labor. Exclusion from American
shores of foreign pauper labor. Eight
hour workday and legislation in favor
of safety appliances for workingmen.
Enactment of an employers liability
act within constitutional bounds. I'm
mediate adoption of precautionary
measures to prevent repetition of
recent mining disasters. Work on
public improvements in times Of de-
PRECISION for unemployed men. The
passage Of a law prohibiting courts
from assuming iarisdiction involving
the constitutionality of any law enact
ed by congress and approved by the
president. The maintaining of farm
ers' organizations and extension OF
their power and influence.

FOX IN A KITCHEN.

Some exciting scenes were witness ed at Stow yesterday at the meet of the Heythorp hounds. A fox, on being discovered near Abbotswood, proceed ed to the town, where it darted through the open door of a phNo- grapher's studio. Being driven out into the garden, the animal sprang upon the roof of some low buildings, thence climbed the roof of a house and, sliding down the opposite slope, leaped into Park street The fugi- tive then entered house at the front door, but meeting a little girl half way up the stairs turned tail and made his way to the kitchen. where culinary operations were in progress. The fox mounted the table ami scattered the crookery with which it was covered, many articles being smashed as they fell with a chatter on the floor. Then, espying an open door, the animal made quick exit into a gar den.' Hounds meanwhile had track ed the fox to the studio, and many went right through the house and picked up the trail that led them eventually to the garden in which the fugitive was hiding. Tho animal did not give In without brave struggle for existence, leading hounds a chase over successive garden walls before he gave up his brush-London Globe

TINY GOTHAM SHOPS.

The three smallest shops, perhaps in Greater New York, are all on the upper West Side Two of them are on Columbus avenue,
 The first of these is between Nine ty-third and Ninetyfourth streets, and is used as laundry. It is about three feet wide and eight deep. The door takes up almost all the front There is enough room inside for desk and shelves.
 The second shop Is situated between Eighty-ninth and Ninetieth streets. on Columbus avenue. It is used by a jeweler.gIt It has front of only two and half or three feet and runs back to depth of six or seven feet.
 This shop was once part of a bigger store which was divided into two. There was a surplus of about three feet left over and the owner of the building had 1t made into another shop by putting door on the front
 In the rear of the shop Is a safe as wide as the store and 1t just fits into the space snugly. The third shop Is on Broadway, between Sixty-fourth and Sixty-ffth streets It fits in the space between two flat houses. There Is just room enough in the front for a small window and door.-New York Sun

LATE POETS COSTLY ANGER.

Edmund Clarence Stedman, the "poet-banker," had high temper and was exceedingly sensitive. One day exasperated by the crass stupidity of a servant, he threw a book at his head. The boy ducked and the book sailed out of the window, After 1t hurried the menial, but he was too late; a passerby had picked it up and walked off with it. Stedman began to won der what book he had thrown away, and to his horror discovered that 1t was a quaint and rare little volume. for which he had paid $50. His cha grin was intense, as the work was al- most unique, and the prospects of re- placing it were remote.
 Some time afterward, when brows- ing in secondhand book shop, our splenetic poet-banker perceived to his great delight a copy of the very book he had lost. He asked the price. Its very rare." replied the dealer. but as you are an old customer I'll let you have it for $40; nobody else could have it for less than $60." Sted- man gladly paid the $40, got home with his treasure as soon as possible, and sat down to gloat over it. A card dropped out of the leaves. It was his own. Further examination showed that te had bought back his own property. It cured him of casting books at servants headss-New York Press.

It Would Seem That These Insects
 Keep Guard Over the Nests.

Is a hornets nest guarded by senti- nels, after the manner of ant hills? It is not so easy to decide. for their private habits do not invite familiar approach. But some experiments seemed to point that way. No noises, however near or strident had the least effect upon the workers. Blow on divers instruments as loudly and shrilly as I would, they poured in and out of the gate or labored on the walls intent wholly upon their own affairs. But at the slightest jar upon the win dow or shutter. out flew bevy of irate insects and flung themselves against the wire window screen with an angry bump" that showed how good was their intention at least to de- fend their home. It was always so. A squad of workers. free and ready for aggressive duty seemed to be lurking near the gate. prompt to sally forth upon alarm.

TOO MUCH PUBLICITY

 Opposes Brass Band Prosecutions

Waterbury, Jan. 27.-That too much publicity has been given to the prose cution of trusts was the oplnloh eA- pressed by Congressman H.

 When certain great corporations were attacked on account or eVasloils of the law and on account'of thelr H. legal relations and unlawful dealings with great transportation companies, said MT. Bannon, ''in the common mlnd the charges made against such cor poratiors were as being proven and ac- tually existing against all corporations and all forms of corporate wealth.
 This condition of affairs obtained not only against swollen fortunes and pre- datory wealth but against the small corporation and the financial instltu- tion of limited capital: not only against the big fellow but against the little fellow; not only against the dishonest man and corporation but, In some in- stances, against the honest on also.
