etrated his brain, causing almost in

Ole the contests will be passed upon in
puiK, as was found expedient in the
natl"nal committee, and the credentials
committee will sit into late Tuesday
and wednesday nights to complete its
laoors. Just as soon as the permanent
list OF delegates is concluded, romina.
lions for President viii be in order.
The members of the Taft campaign
profess to have not the slightest doubt
as to the results of the first ballot and
declare they have no apprehension as
to the action Of the credentials COM
mittee uron the contested delegations.
The allies however continue TO
maintain bold front and declare that
not until the first ballot is ended will
they admit defeat
The second day of the convention
period. Wednesday. the 18th, will be
given over as usual to parades of the
visiting delegations and marching
clubs. This is intended to make inter-
esting the idle hours for most of the
delegates while the credentials COM
mittee is passing upon the merits of
contested cases and drawing up its
report. The failure of a number OF
the old-time Republican marching
vention is disappointment to those
who look for color and excitement in
national political gatherings Addition
al clubs and delegates arriving today
have given somewhat belated aspect
Of gaiety to the convention city.
A call Of citizens for merchants and
householders to decorate In honor of
the Republican visitors has resulted in
the display Of many additional flags
and yards of patriotic bunting and
with the formal opening and throng-
ing of state headquarters, there was
every indication today that the time
of assembling the history making

rious convention committees, includ-
ing credentials. rules and order Of
business, permanent organization, res
olntions, Vice President, to notify
Presidential and Vice Presidential can
didates, to choose member Of the ma
tional committee and to select chair
man and secretary Of the delegation
Tentative selections already have been
mad by many Of the states, but these
remained to be ratified today after the
delegates had arrived, upon 81 the
ground and had taken account Of all
the existing conditions. ..a.,
Platform building and the welding OF
opinion as to the most available OF the
Vice Presidential candidates to be

A number of unmarried Englishwom-
en-, who have reached an age about
which it would be ungenerous to in
quire too closely, have been complain
ing in the papers of the rule that all
married women shall be called Mrs"
and all unmarried women Miss" no
matter what their ages may be. They
point out the fact that boy, who is
Master" in his early life becomes
"Mr." by the mere lapse of time,
whether he marries or not; but that a
girl, who begins as Miss" continues
to be Miss until she marries.
This was not always the case, as
the curious may discover by looking up
the history Of MISS" Mrs" and
Mistress" The Englishwomen main
tain that the title by which they are
called, as spinsters, is not conducive
to the Difference which is accorded to
married women, and which they de-
mand for themselves. The remedy
they propose-that all women be called
Mrs" after reaching the age of 40
would be Of doubtful efficacy. Men
would 60 on calling their women ac-
Quaintances Miss until they received
what the newspapers call Official" no
tice that the age limit was passed.
The old "darky" woman stated a fact
of general application when she said
that the happiest person is an old maid
"when she has quit strugglin'." The
woman who cares whether she is call
ed Miss" or MRS" when her hair Is
turning, is still "strugglin'."-
