EUGENE V. DEBS NAMED BY . SOCIALISTS FOR PRESIDENT t'W-? \f -vv /_:///' & r'P A m ~£ss± h-7? Or • CBSMoacSKT • '//M -flt«&y^50v k. vy\ <ar ̂ «ic^y^r-oi755EU" jktywov* ziŝ jŝ prrsyr For President Eugene V. Debs Of Terre Haute, Ind. For Vice President Benjamin Hanford Of New York. With a tumult of cheers that shook the building the foregoing candidates for President and Vice President of the United States were nominated by the Socialists at their national conven­ tion in Chicago May 5. George D. Herron of New York placed Debs In nomination and was seconded by James P. Carey of Mas­ sachusetts. H. F. Titus of Seattle nominated Hanford and was seconded by Morris Hllquitt of New York. No other nominations were made and Debs and Hanford were declared the national standard bearers by a unani­ mous vote. Debs was not present, but Hanford accepted the honor In an ad­ dress which aroused enthusiasm. The rational platform was adopted as reported by the platform commit­ tee. It is an enunciation of the card­ inal principles of socialism, its vital declarations being as follows: We, the Socialist party, in conven­ tion assembled, make our appeal to the American people as the only po­ litical movement standing for the programme and principles by which the liberty of the individual may be­ come a fact; as the only political or­ ganization that is democratic and that has for its purpose the democratizing of thtf whole society. To this idea of liberty the Repub­ lican and Democratic parties are alike false. They alike struggle for power Whitney's House Is Sold. The residence of the late W. C. Whitney, corner of Sixty-eighth street and Fifth avenue, New York city, has been bought by James Henry Smith for something over $2,000,000. Mr. Whitney expended over $3,500,000 on it, most of the money going to the embellishment of the interior. Mr. Smith takes the house with all its contents, except a painting by Van Dyclc, for which Mr. Whitney paid $1 00,000. It was inevitable that the Whitney house should be sold, as the Whitney sons are already provided with magnificent houses and the es­ tablishment is too extensive and cost­ ly for the daughters to maintain. Plans Smith Family Reunion. The Smith family, not specifically, but generally, will assemble in Louis­ ville this fall, if the plan of John Ca­ bell Smith, a wealthy Kentuckian, is concurred in by the Smiths at large. Smith has issued a general invitation through the press to the Smiths of the country to assemble In Louisville for a three days' reunion, and he will de­ fray all the expenses of entertain­ ment. He says he Is willing to spend $25,000 on his project, but that he will drop It unless he receives assurances that the Smith family of the United States will b© represented by a fair proportion of those bearing the name. Not Debate--Just Language. The late SpeSker Reed was once encountered by a friend in an uptown hotel late in the evening while the house was in the throes of a terrific tariff debate. It was supposed to be the very crisis of the struggle. "How is It," this gentleman asked of the speaker, "that you are not at the house and within range of that de­ bate?" "Debate." repeated the speak­ er contemptuously, "that's only lan­ guage--only language," with which laconic remark he dismissed the sub­ ject. Triplets Eighty Years Old. Triplets 80 years old celebrated their birthday a few days ago in Hill- dale, parish of Upham, near Monc- ton, N. B. The three have lived In the same place all thelc lives. They are Richard, Jar^es and Deborah De Bow, the children of William De Bow. A number of relatives and friends wait­ ed upon the triplets and presented to them a purse of money. The triplets are all in good health and appear to have a good chance of reaching the •entury mark. ror* a* jcpkv. to maintain and profit by an Industrial extern which can be preserved only 'By the complete overthrow of such lib­ erties as we already have and by the still further enslavement of labor. As an American Socialist party we pledge our fidelity to the principles of International socialism. There can be no possible basis for social peace, for individual freedom except In the complete triumph of the working classes. The Socialist party pledges itself to watch and work in both the economic and the political struggle for each successive Immediate interest of the working class; for shortened days of labor and increases of wages; for the Insurance of the worker against acci­ dent, sickness and lack of employ­ ment; for pensions for aged and ex­ hausted workers; for the public own­ ership of the means of transportation, communication and exchange; for the graduated taxation of incomes, inher­ itances, and of franchise and land values, the proceeds to be applied to public employment and bettering the conditions of the workers' children, and their freedom from the workshop, for the equal suffrage of men and women; for the prevention of the use of the military against labor in the settlement of strikes; for the free ad­ ministration of Justice; for popular government, including initiative, ref­ erendum, proportional representation, and the recall of officers by their con­ stituents; and for every gain or ad­ vantage for the workers that may be wrested from the capitalist system, and that may relieve the suffering and strengthen the hands of labor. A resolution favoring trades union- Ism was adopted by the convention by a vote of 107 to 53. Debs began life as a rairoad fireman and came into prominence in 1894 as leader of the A, R. U. strike which tied up the majority of the railroads of the country. He has been a lec­ turer in recent years. His home is In Terre Haute. Hanford is a linotype operator in a New York job office. He was candidate for governor of New York on the Socialist ticket in 1900 and in 1902. The new constitution was adopted. The changes from the old constitu­ tion were slight. The national secre­ tary's salary was increased from $1,- 000 to $1,500. The picture shows some of the more important members of the party as they appeared in the convention. Eyelets Sold by the Million. "Eyelets," said a manufacturer in Centre street, "are, like needles, pins and matches, sold by the million in­ stead of by the pound. I don't sup­ pose anybody could tell how many mil­ lion eyelets are sold every year In New York, but the number is pro­ digious. ^Eyelets are made for a variety of uses, from the huge white metal loops sewed into the corners of ships' sails to the tiny eyelets for the dainty slipper-of a baby. The great­ est number of eyelets made are, of course for shoes. They are put tfp in boxes of 100,000, 250 000 and 500,000. Only those proportions are packed. They cost anywhere from $50 to $130 a million."--New York Times. Self-willed Heir to Throne. There has been so much talk of late regarding Emperor William's health that the subject is likely to be mat­ ter of moment in the fatherland for some time. Collaterally the public eye has been directed toward his eld­ est son, the crown prince. This young man Is almost 22 years old, credited with being of a somewhat romantic bent and not at all disposed to wed for years. A young bachelor kaiser who believed in marrying as he pleased could do so without troubling about Hohenzollern regulations framed long ago. Live Plainly and Live Long. In an autograph letter Senator Wark, the centenarian senator of Can­ ada, assigns his longevity to plain food and regular habits. He says he has been accustomed to eat oatmeal porridge and milk for breakfast and still makes it the principal part of his morning meal, followed by a single cup of black tea and a slice of bread. A piece of fowl or fish with a cup of tea forms his midday meal. In the evening he has a cup of tea and a slice of bread. He retires regularly at 10 o'clock and rises at half past 7. Cousin of Famous Novelist. Few people are aware that the pres­ ent Duchess of Manchester, who was MIbs Helena Zimmerman of Cincin­ nati, was a cousin of the novelist, George Eliot. The mother of the duchess was a daughter of Abraham Evans, first cousin of the father of Marian Evans, or "George Eliot." The duchess is now about 25 years of age. Her marriage to the duke took place, at the Marylebone parish church-In London Nov. 14, 1900. The auke wm born in 1877.

DecidedMmprovement Is Noted in Ag­ ricultural Conditions. Illinois crops show decided improve­ ment, according to a special bulletin issued by the Illinois division of the United States department of agricul­ ture as follows, for the week ended May 3: "The weather conditions were not altogether favorable during the week. The first part was generally wet and cold, with minima at 32 degrees in the northern section. Rainfall, with heavy measurements, covered the state on the 25th and 26th. In the southern district damage ensued to fields and gardens from washouts. The temperature was below the sea­ sonal average, and vegetation made slow growth. The latter part of the week was favorable for farm work, and rapid progress in plowing and seeding was made. "Oats are practically all sowed. While some complaint is made of slow germination, the crop is generally in good condition, and promising. Many fields are up and showing green. "Wheat needs sunshine and warmth, but the crop shows decided improvement during the week. Rye and barley are generally in a thrifty stage. "Plowing for corn was retardecbmn account of heavy rains the first part of the week, but under favorable con­ ditions the latter part the work was resumed and material progress made. Unless untoward conditions arise, much planting will be done during the ensuing week. "Pastures and meadows are back­ ward. Stock is in good condition, but is still being fed on account of Iftsuf- .flciency of pasturage. "As the season advances the out­ look for fruits becomes more assur­ ing. An average yield of apples, pears and plums is generally conceded, but peaches have been damaged in many localities and killed outright in oth­ ers. Strawberries are in bloom in the central and southern districts and give promise of a good yield. "Much work has been done in gar­ dening, but the work is backward. Early potatoes have been mostly planted." Contends That He Is Outside the Jur­ isdiction of Circuit Court. N Judge Alexander W. Hope of the city court of Alton defied both the circuit court to order his arrest and Sheriff G. F. Crowe to arrest him on a bench warrant issued on account of an indictment for alleged malfeasance in refusing to allow a member of the Alton grand jury to serve. When Sher­ iff Crowe suggested that he give a bond. Judge Hope declined, and re­ quested thek^sheriff to inform Judge Burroughs oNas decision. Judge Hope stated that he was out of the jurisdiction of the circuit court as a judicial officer, and that if he is ar­ rested he will sue every officer of the circuit court, including the grand jury for false imprisonment and malicious prosecution. In his interview Judge Hope condemned Judge Burroughs, who wa& on the bench in court when the indictment was returned. He said: "There is no provision in the constitu­ tion for judges of courts in Illinois to be indicted by a grand jury for offi­ cial acts. The state's attorney knew this and refused to draw or sign an in­ dictment until intimidated by threats of imprisonment. The indictment is the result of a packed grand jury and the intimidation of Judge Burroughs." mm. mPh- fflNI/1 Gown for Short Woman. A certain very rich American wom­ an living abroad went to her Paris dressmaker last fall and asked him to make her a becoming gown. "I look short in everything," said she, "and very stout. Make something which will become my style will." The man dressmaker thought and thought and finally he achieved a gown which, when put on, answered the purpose admirably. It, lengthened the woman and made her look more slender. This gown, which was made of taffeta, was nearly four Inches upon the floor in front. The back fell away in a very long and very graceful line. The skirt, while it was full, was fitted around the hips and the fullness all came in down below. The result was charming. REV. BYRON ALDEN. Rev. Byron Alden, aged nearly 98 years, died of pmiemonia, at the home Extend Time on Fair Tickets. The time limit of St. Louis world's fair tickets has been extended by nearly all of the Western roads from ten days to fifteen days. The West­ ern Passenger association recently decided that the limit of world's fair tickets for the return trip should not exceed ten days on those sold in the association's territory at a fare and one-fifth basis. One or two of the roads were not satisfied with that ac­ tion, and they gave individual notice that they would make a fifteen days' limit on such tickets. Since then sev­ en of the lines have extended the time limit. They are the Burlington, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Rock Island, the Frisco, the Illi­ nois Central, the Missouri Pacific and the Union Pacific. Sunday School Extension.

A sentence of thirty days In the Belleville Jail imposed upon Garret Hallissy by Judge Stanton of East St. Louis, had the effect of locking the judge out of his own office for more than an hour. Hallissy had been Judge Stanton's Janitor and carried the keys to the office door, which fast­ ens with a spring lock. The door was closed after the sentence was passed, and after Hallissy was well on his way to Belleville It was remem­ bered that he had the office keys In his pocket* Prohibitionists Meet.

Guthrie of St. Louis and that it is the purpose of the company to put in at least $50,000 in repairs at once and the proposition of installing a briquette plant is under considera­ tion. Mr. Gillespie recently won a suit brought by W. S. Haynes of St. Louis for a half interest. Livery Stable Reform. The Springfield city council has passed an ordinance commanding that livery barns be so constructed that the stables be on the ground floor. This is the result of the fire at the barn of G. J. Little & Son recently, when seventeen fine horses on the second floor were burned to death. The humane society prepared the or­ dinance. Colored Woman 106 Years Old. Mrs. Mary Ferrill, a colored woman of Marion, observed her 106th birth­ day anniversary May 5. She is the oldest resident of Coles county and perhaps of southeastern Illinois. She was born in Alabama and for the greater part of her life was a slave, being the property of four different masters. Illinois Laborer Drowns. The body of Fero Lorentz, a laborer on the Illinois division of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern railroad, was taken from the river two miles south of Cora City.

The Decatur city council is consid­ ering an ordinance prepared by the ordinance committee fixing the license of clairvoyants who advertise in thf city at $60 s day. 4709 Nine Gored Walking Skirt, 22 to 30 waist. Nine Gored Walking Skirt. Walking skirts that provide gener­ ous fulness and flare and yet are dnug over the hips make the latest and most graceful shown. The model il­ lustrated Is ad­ mirable in every way, and means c o m f o r t t o t h e wearer as well as style. As shown it is made of tan- colored cravenette stitched with corti- c e l l i s i l k a n d trimmed with fibre braid, but all suit­ ing and skirting materials are ap­ propriate and simple stitching can be used as a finish in place of the braid when preferred. The skirt is cut in nine gores with extensions at all front and side seams that form the tuck plaits, and can be stitched above the plaits, as illustrat­ ed, or finished with bands of braid. The fulness at the back is laid in inverted plaits that are stitched to match the seams and the upper edge can be finished with the belt or cut on dip outline and underfaced or bound, as may be preferred. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 1H4 yards 27 inches wide, 6% yards 44 Inches wide or 5 yards 52 Inches wide when mate­ rial has figure or nap; 8% yards 27, 5% yards 44 or 4% yards 52 inches wide when material has neither figure nor nap, with 8 yards of braid to trim as illustrated. The pattern 4,709 is cut in sizes for a 22, 24, 26, 28 and 30 inch waist meas­ ure. Pretty Cotton Ornaments. Lovely ornaments are to be worn this spring, made of cotton. There are hanging balls and cotton loopings and all sorts of cotton .braidings. These braids are put on by hand in the old- fashioned way, in little twirls, Just as one braided one's gown years ago. The narrow white and colored braids are used, and the designs arq distrib­ uted over skirt panels, over yokes and over the caps and the cuffs of sleeves. A very neat little ornament was made for a pretty cotton figured dress. The material showed pink figures upon a ground of cream. Little circles of the goods were cut out and braided In white. They were then edged with lace and applied to the gown, making a very nice trimming. Stuffed Corn Beef. Make a stuffing of cracker crumbs rolled fine, or bread and crackers mixed. Season with pepper, salt, sage and poultry seasoning wet with water beef was boiled in till just moist. With knife and fork pick beef up quite fine, spread layer of beef at bottom of whatever you are going to press it in, then layer of crumbs until both are used. I usually get about three pounds of beef and use about six crackers and three slices of raised bread. Have layer of beef at the top. Press about twenty-four hours. I press mine in bread tin, &t my other one on It. Place board on that and flat irons on the board; then you have as good a press as anyone needs. 4707 OH l's "Buster Brown"- Dress, 4 to 12 years. Girl's "Buster Brown" Dress. "Buster Brown" styles have taken a firm hold on the girls as well as the small boys, and dresses for the latter's sister, made after that wide­ ly-known youngster's, are among the latest shown. This one is made of natural colored linen with white collar and cuffs that are detach­ able, but all sim­ ple childish mate­ rials, wool as well as linen and cot­ ton, are appropri­ ate and collar aird cuffs can be of the same or white as preferred. The dress is made with front and back, the front tucked, the back box- plaited and the 6kirt portion laid in additional inverted plaits at the un- der-arm seams, and is closed at the back, an opening being cut beneath the center plait. The sleeves are sim­ ply full and both neck and wrists are finished with bands to which the cuffs can be sewn, or attached by means of buttons and buttonholes as liked. At the waist is a belt of the material that Is slipped under straps at the under-arm seams. The quantity of material required for the medium size (8 years) is 4% yards 27 inches wide, 2% yards 44 Inches wide or 2% yards 52 Inches wide with % yard of white linen for collar and cuffs. The pattern 4707 Is cut In sizes for girls of 4, €, 8, 10 and 12 years of age. Pairs in Furnishings. There are two or three kinds of drawing rooms that literally set the teeth on edge, and cause the souls of artistic people to shudder within them, comments the London Queen. One is the room where everything is in pairs; there are pairs of vases, pairs of photograph frames, pairs of pictures, pairs of footstools, pairs of everything. It is Impossible to pre­ vent the thought flashing across the mind that if pairing originated with the flood, one can only wish that Noah had taken the animals into Ike arit one by one. Sweet Simplicity. For younger women at least 80«e salvation from the deluge of over­ dressing is at hand. In France young girls are wearing almost nun-like eos- tumes in soft colors, preferably grays. They are quite untrimmed, except for a nice belt buckle and a white collar, which is usually a dainty, simple thing of fine plaited muslin or em­ broidered lawn, or sometimes it Is a fichu and chemisette, but always white and simple. It is a fashion whieh many young American girls of good family are adopting. Handsome Nickel Bread Trays. Handsome and ornamental for the table are the nickel bread trays in old Colonial design, showing listed and beaded borders in highly pol­ ished finish. These trays are some­ what boat-shaped, and show orna­ mental effects in pierced work. The new nickel teaspoons, made up in the thin delicate model of the tea­ spoon of our great grandmothers' days, are dainty and look so like their ancient prototypes that few people would doubt their being genuine old- fashioned silver. Ornaments for Gowns. The washable lawn and the wash­ able muslin is almost a thing of tike past. Each season it goes further and further into the background, and this season it is quite Impossible to con­ ceive a laundress who can wash the shirred skirts or who can so tub the gathered waists that they will come out wearable. The remedy is not to be found, except in the carefal wear­ ing of these gowns and their preserva­ tion when not in use. Stitched Shoulder Tabs. Some of the most stylish nalats have stitched shoulder tabs or bands. Most of these extend several inches down over the sleeve and accentuate the long-sloping shoulder and seam. These tabs are well stltohed into place, and are frequently trimmed with buttons like those used in fast­ ening the front. Linen crocheted rings sometimes take the plac# of buttons for waist trimming. Blouse Waist Closed in Back. Waists of lace over chiffon or mous- seline are eminently fashionable and are charmingly becoming and attract­ ive as well. This one is made of cream represe lace, the yoke being composed of strips of insertion and bands of silk em­ b r o i d e r e d w i t h French knots, and is lined with chif­ fon only, cut ex- 4708 Blouse Waist, 82 to 40 bast. actly like the lace, but the fitted foundation can be used when liked. The cream lace over the white makes a most at­ tractive effect and the deep belt of cream messaline satin is both correet and in harmony with the waist. When lace is not desirable thin silks, ehlf- fon and indeed all materials soft enough to allow of shirring will be found equally satisfactory, the design being suited to all such. The waist consists of the fitted lin­ ing, which is optional, front, backs and yoke 1s closed Invisibly at the back. When the lining is ased, yet a transparent effect desired, it and the material can be cut away beneath the yoke. The sleeves are simply full, finished with bands and frills of lace. The quantity of material required for the medium size is • yards li inches wide, 5 yards 21 inches wide or 2% yards 44 inches wide, with 4% yards of insertion for yoke, 1 yards of lace for sleeves and % yards of silk for belt. The pattern 4708 is cut la sises lor a 32, 34, 36 and 40 ineh hast meas­ ure. Honiton and Moire PI Wows. White and colored moire silks are beautiful for pillows when worked la the new fashion with white embroid­ ery silk and honiton braidsu A pale green one, worked in white and fin­ ished with a white silk ccrd, is dainty and useful. These combinations in rare in pillows nowadays. Readers of this paper can eeewe any Ms* Manton pattern illustrated above kj miincoofc all biaaJts m coupon, and mailing, vlib to £. K.
