,^®^JJ®PX.EASURE TKIFS, 3$ Numerous Excursions the Coming Summer at Reasonable Kates.

Whether the tourist's fancy directs him to the New England States or the Atlantic seaboard to the South or to the lake region of the North or to the Rocky Mountains and the wonderland beyond the Mississippi, he will be given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cost for railroad fare this year. There will be low rates to Baltimore over the Pennsylvania Lines in May, account the American Medical Association to Decatur, 111., account the German Baptist (Duukard) meeting, and to Pittsburg for ir.e Pres byteriau General Assembly. There will also be low rates over these 1 nc-s to Me ridian, Miss account the General Assembly Cumberland Presbyterian church the same month. In June excursion tickets will be sold over the Pennsylvania Lines to Omaha account the National Jr. O. U. A. M. to Chattanooga, Tenn, for the International Convention of Epwortli League to Cleveland, Ohio, account the National Republican League Meeting, and to Roanoke, Va., for the Gennan Baptist meeting. Excursions for July include low rates over the Pennsylvania to Baltimore for the Baptist Y. P. Union Meeting to Asbury Park for the L. A. W. meeting, and to Boston for the Christian Endeavor Convention, and to Denver Col., account the National Educational Association meetiug. In August excursion tickets will be on sale over the Pennsylvania Linos to Boston, account the Knights Templar Conclave The sale of low rate tickets will not be restricted to members of the organizations mentioned, but the public generally may take advantage of them.

The Asbury Park excursion will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Long Branch and all the famous watering places along the New Jersey coast are located ou the Pennsylvania Lines, hence this will be a desirab opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be just the thing for a sight-seeing jaunt tliro' the far West, as tickets will be honored going one way and returning a different route through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Variable route privileges will al^o be accorded Boston excursionists, enabling them to visit Niagara Falls, MonT^al, Thousand Islands and St. Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Hudson River territory, and to return bv steamer ou Long Island Sound, after sight-seeing at Newport. Narragansett Pier, Nantucket and the Cape Cod resorts to Ne*" \ork and thence ttiroutjh the agricultuaal paradise of the Keystone State, along the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers, over the Alleghetiies, arouno famous Horse Shoe Curve, through historic John^o vn and the coks and iron regions of Western Pennsylvania. Ic is also expected that Boston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Lines will be privileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if they so desire.

In addition to the above, there will be plenty of other cheao excursions over the Pennsylvania Lines to various points. As the season is some weeks away, arrangements in detail have not been consummated, but it is certain that no railway will offer better inducements fch.m the liberal concessions in rates and privileges that may be enjoyed by travelers over the Pennsylvania Lines. This fact may readily be ascertained upon application to any passenger or ticket agent of thase lines, or by addressing F. VAN* DUSE.V, Chief Assistant Gen. Pass. Act.. Pittsburg, Pa. apr6wd-t-s-tf

KENTDCKY ^POLITICS.

Hot Contests Will Mark the Democratic Convention.

ON THE EVE OF THE BATTLE.

The Two Great Contests Will Be ou tlie Financial Question and Between the Administration and Aiti-Adiuinistration

Factions—The Temporary Organization Will Settle the Whole Question. LOUISVILLE,

June 2 5 —The Demo

cratic state convention here will be among the hottest contests in the history of the commonwealth.

The "sound money" delegates announce ex-Congressman W. J. Stone as their candidate for temporary .chairman. They say Judge Beckuer is Blackburn's man, who, afc the Winchester convention last week, opposed the indorsement of Cleveland and Carlisle. They will make a test 011 the vote between Beckner and Stone, the latter being popular with some silverltes and Hardin men. Meantime the conservatives want both Becknei and Stone to promise to appoint one silver man and one gold man as members at large of the committee on resolutions, and, in fact, to divide equally the members at large on all the committees.

Senator Blackburn, who has more at stake at this convention than any of the state candidates and more even than Secretary Carlisle, was disposed to concede to the conservative plan of an equal division of the members at large ou each of the committees, but the radical silver men opposed it and a meeting of the silver men was accordingly called.

The contest between the administration and anti-administration delegates has been more bitter than ever. The lighting is for the temporary organization with a view to securing the chairman, two members at large of the committee 011 resolutions, and controlling the rules and order of business so that nominations snail be made before the platform is adopted. As General Hardin claims enough votes to nominate him, the "honest money" delegates want the platform adopted rirst.

There arcs some delegates instructed for Hardin who are opposed to free coinage. General Hardin is reported to have said he would insist on a free silver platform, and when seen he declined to deny it. His friends claim that he could not run on a Carlisle or administration platform after the canvass he has made with Blackburn and others 011 the free coinage issue.

JThere is a conservative elgnent wanting the convention to reatnrm the national platform of 1892, and go no further on the financial question, but the silverites say that would imply an indorsement of the administration. Senator Blackburn favors the reaffirming of the platform of 1892, with an additional affirmation that the pledges of 1 s92 have not been fulfilled by President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle.

The conservatives argue if General Hardin is nominated and so controls the convention as to prevent the reaffirming of the national declarations of 1892, that the state ticket and platform would be outside of the party and that there might be some justifications of the threatened bolt of the ultra-gold men.

The conservatives hope to have the balance of power in the convention, but they evidently have very little influence in the lighting that is going on now for the chairmanship and control of the committees.

It will be fighting to a finish when the district delegations meet to select vice presidents and members of the committees and when the convention assembles there will be a general engagement at the start.

The state committee does not name the temporary chairman for this convention 111 advance. Chairman Carroll ot the state committee holds the gavel till the convention selects its temporary chairman, and the first thing in order is the election of temporary officers, on which at this time depends the fate of senatorial, gubernatorial and other candidates and the metallic complexion of the platform.

QUIET IN THE COAL FIELDS.

Itoth ^liners and Operators iu West Virginia are Determined.

Brxja-iiOLDS, W. Va., June 25.—Governor McCorkle, with State Auditor Johnson and Attorney General Reilly of West Virginia, who compose the state board of public works, arrived here yesterday morning ou their annual tour of assessment of railroad property.

The governor incidentally stopped over in tiie coal fields and had a conference with the leaders of the strike and the coal operators. He says he sees no signs of abatement on the part of either parties. The operators resist the pulling in of tne scabs, and say they will only submit when forced by law. The miners.

says, are equally deter

mined, and will resort to law to force this fight. The governor thinks the situation is very much mixed, but says everything is quiet, and he sees no use for soldiers. The leaders of the strike assured him of continued peace.

The governor and party returned to Charleston last night.

•WOMAN'S WORLD.

SHE FOUNDED A CHAIR OF AMERICAN HISTORY AT BARNARD.

Women Who Play Poker—Rev. Anna Shaw on Sufl'rage—Women In Politics—Woman's Advent In Cornell—Southern Wom

en and Bicycles—Sorosis' Vacation.

To the originality of Mrs. Donald McLean, elected this season regent of the New York chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, is due the birth and development of a brilliant idea. This is nothing less than the founding a chair of American history, particularly of the colonial and Revolutionary periods, at Barnard college, the feminine annex of Columbia college. It is the first enterprise of its kind yet entered upon by any of the patriotic orders of either men or women.

Mrs. McLean, author of this notable movement, is the wife of the Hon. Donald McLean, former general appraiser of the port of New York, and is a daughter of the late Judge John Ritchie of the

MRS. DONALD M'LEAN.

Maryland court of appeals, a man famed beyond the limits of his state for his powers of oratory, his integrity, legal knowledge and keen intellect.

Born in Frederick, Md., the town of Barbara Frietchie, Mrs. McLean first saw the light of day in the state's most celebrated house, Prospect Hall, the home of her grandfather, the late Judge William Pinkney Maulsby. It is a mansion built by the famous Dulaney family in old colonial times. Mrs. McLean was born in the haunted room, in which tradition chronicles the walling up of a young girl because of a romantic love affair.

Mrs. McLean is characterized by broadly liberal tenets in all directions, is an earnest worker in church and public affairs. The founding of a chair of American history at Barnard college by the New York city chapter of the Revolutionary society, under Mrs. McLean's regency, has set an example in practical patriotism for all like societies to pattern after. The other chapters of the Revolutionary association, located in every state and territory in the Union, have experienced an awakening in contemplating the weighty step taken by their sister chapter a step which illustrates its own aims and principles and those of the parent association, the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Such historical advantages are needed all over the land, and that the opportunity for such knowledge should first be made possible in New York, and by the feminine descendants of Revolutionary patriots, in the sister institution of old King's college, makes the event a more happy and fitting one than it could have been without such associations. The work is being sustained at present by an amount raised annually, while the endowment fund is being accumulated for the future permanent historical professorship.

Women Who Play Poker.

A bright little Boston woman who has settled here said to me the other day: "I have played my last game of poker. "To me it is more fascinating than eating, drinking, sleeping or dancing. It has developed the gambling spirit in me to such an extent that I am getting frightened." "I think you are very wise," I said. "Oh, well, it isn't altogether that," she continued "I'm going to be honest about it. It's too expensive an enjoyment for me. "People say: 'Oh, it's about an even thing in the long ran. Keep a little book Put your losses on one side and your gains on the other, and at the end of the year you'll find that they pretty well balance.' "Well, I tried that, and it makes me sick every time I look at it. "What amazes me is to see the hold on the community that this game of poker has secured. "I called ou some new acquaintances the other day, and they—a sweet, white haired old mother and her two gentle daughters—talked so beautifully of art and science and theosophy and theology that I felt abashed as I thought: 'Heavens, what would these simple people say if they knew I played cards for money?'

Presently the younger daughter asked me: 'Do yon play poker?' "I thought that she had heard of my shortcomings, and began to make an awkward explanation. "But she laughed and said: 'Oh, we play I Just a little weenie game. Mother is quite taken with it, aren't you, mother?' "The old lady said that she was. "So, like Ah Sin, we had a small game, with the usual result. "I lost 97 cents, all of which the mother won. "She didn't look as if she knew the difference between a Hoboken straight and a Judge Duffy, but she did.''

I told the fair Bostonese that her language was unintelligible to me. "Oh, pshaw!" she rejoined. "But to Watch that saintly looking old woman 'anteing' and 'raising' and 'standing pat'

—well, I couldn't have been more surprised if I had seen Dr. Parkhurst posing as a living picture.''—Polly Pry in New York Recorder.

Bev. Anna Shaw on Suffrage.

In an interview with Anna Howard Shaw, D. D., published in the Denver Republican, she expresses some very cheerful views of the growth of sentiment in favor of suffrage. On the prospect for suffrage in the east, Dr. Shaw says: "It is strong enough in any northern state to carry the measure, were it not for the partisan attitude of the political parties. Each party is afraid to take it up, and each is afraid that if the other does take it up they will gain some advantage from it. The main reason for our defeat in Kansas last fall was, I think, the fear of the Populists, who had heard that Colorado women were all working agninst their party, that the same thing would happen in Kansas. "The danger in New York is from the foreign element. If we could wipe out New York city until after the election, I think we could carry the state without doubt. It is a remarkable fact that in the districts where ignorance and vice are the strongest the vote against suffrage is the heaviest. The public work into which the women have entered in so many directions and in such a workmanlike manner, the interest women are showing in municipal reform, and the beneficial results of their connection with it—all these things are paving the way. I think after a few more western states fall into the suffrage column there will be a pei'fect avalanche of sentiment in that direction. Sectional strife was formerly between the north and the south. It is now largely coming to be between east and west, and if the west enfranchises its women, do you suppose the east will allow it such an advantage? No, indeed, the east will be forced to follow suit, but it will come in last, and dear old Massachusetts, my own state, which should have been first to head the column, will bring up in the rear, I am afraid. That is because so many of Massachusetts' young men have come west and left nobody but the old maids and old fogies behind.

Women In Politics.

If the women are to assist the men in politics, they must do something besides jumping into the political arena. They must prepare themselves for the struggles there. We learn from a circular issued by Barnard college that the School of Political Science of Columbia university is now open to women, who are free to take the graduate courses in political history, economics and sociology. Here is an opportunity for the advancing woman politicians. In the School of Political Science they can lay the foundations needed for the high statesmanship which ought to characterize all government. Thus far, there is not any woman among the professors in the school, but we must presume that this deficiency will yet be supplied. The quick induction, broad reasoning, clear analysis and generous sympathy of womanhood ought not to be excluded from the faculty. The ideas of man in political science are apt to be hard and narrow and selfish.

The many women's political clubs now in existence must also be of use to woman politicians by familiarizing them with the leading public questions of the times.

Both Mayor Strong of this city and Mayor Schieren of Brooklyn seem disposed to favor the appointment of some women to those public offices to which, in the opinion of these two mayors, they are adapted. Both of them seem to believe that women are better fitted for service on school boards than for any other branch of the municipal service, and they have begun to follow up their belief, which is of the nature of the old belief that women are concerned only with children. This may do for a beginning, but woman's progress does not end at the schoolhouse. If, for example, we have a woman in New York who would make a better mayor than William L. Strong, we doubt whether Mayor Strong can prove that she should not be elected to the office.—New York Sun.

Woman's Advent In Cornell.

The alumni of Cornell university have nominated Miss Mary Carey Thomas for one of the trustees. This is probably the first time in the history of any of the leading universities in this country that a woman has been named for trustee. Miss Thomas was graduated from Cornell in 1877, and is now president of Bryn Mawr College For Women. She was made dean of that college when it was opened in 1885, and was elected president in 1898.

The legislature which has just adjourned passed a law allowing the Cornell alumni to elect five additional trustees this year. Every year after this they will elect two trustees instead of one as heretofore. In recent years there has been very little contest for this honor among the alumni, rarely more than two candidates being presented. As soon as the new law went into effect there was a great scramble. In all, 15 candidates for the five places were named.

The alumna) of the institution at once decided that they ought to be represented in the board of trustees. Correspondence was started, and after a conference of names proposed they settled upon Miss Thomas as the woman graduate of Cornell best fitted by her training and acquirements to fill the place. At once a campaign was started. Women graduates in all the large cities in the country were enlisted in the work. Friends of other candidates sent out the customary indorsements seeking votes and telling of the candidates' fitness for the honor. Miss Thomas' circular was one of the last to appear. To the surprise of the alumni it contained nearly three times the number of indorsements that any of the circulars of the male candidates had.

Southern Women anl Bicycles

The women of the southern states have been much slower than their northern sisters in the utilization of the bicy-

cle. They are affected by the conservatism of the south, which looks askance at any novelty, and very many of them yet think that bicycling is highly improper for a woman. We have frequently noticed remarks to this effect in southern papers, and we recently learned that women in several places there had been brought under social discipline for bicycling.

The prodigious cycling boom of this year in New York has already told upon the south.

By this time there are lots of women bicyclers in Virginia and Georgia. There are a smaller number in Alabama and Louisiana. There are fewer yet in South Carolina. There are very few in Arkansas. We have not heard of any in Mississippi. The northern women in Florida have introduced the wheel there.

We do not believe that the conservatism of southern women can much longer resist the wheel. The Texas and North Carolina girls seem to be ready for it. We think it is bound to attract the fair sex even in the Bayou State.

It is not undignified for a woman to ride the bicycle. She does not lower herself by wheeling. To ride upon it afc full speed does not cut into the pride of womanhood. That pride exists in the north not less than in the south.—New iTork Sun.

Sorosis' Vacation.

Sorosis, the high panjandrum of women's clubs, had its last social day of the season oh June 3, when the drama was discussed and comparisons drawn between Shakespeare and present day playwrights, and then Sorosis broke up for the summer, saying au revoir to each other and goodby to Mr. Sherry, who is not to be the club's caterer next year, the ballrooms at the Waldorf being better adapted to the needs of Sorosis when she entertains.

While Sorosis is deservedly the most powerful of all the women's clubs, it is not numerically strong, having a roll call of only 215. Neither is it made up of unmarketable or elderly maidens, for 180 are married, and it has several times happened that a candidate has had to hold back until she reached the club age, which is set down as 18 years. Some members complain that they know little of the working of the organization and almost nothing of its plans.

The Professional Woman's league keeps open all summer. Indeed, the heated term finds its rooms fuller than ever, for then the Thespianas of the road return and flock to headquarters. —New York Herald.

A Riot of Colors.

The newest summer millinery defies description. One may gild the lily and paint the rose, but to convey by words only an adequate idea of the hats and bonnets now exhibited absolutely surpasses human ability. Straw millinery of every conceivable sort shares honor with lace and spangled textiles, but the former for the moment takes precedence. The oddest and most brilliant dyes in straws are conspicuous. They are ubiquitous, in fact, and the eye literally aches as we behold first the gay colored hat and then its gorgeous and varicolored garnitures. New York World.

Brides and Jewels.

A bnde must wear no jewels, even on state occasions. Her wedding ring, the solitaire engagement ring and the necessary watch are all that are in strict correctness allowed. Some folk are saying that this permits the young husband to "put up" the whole cargo of wedding gift jewelry to help him keep up his establishment, but that cannot be so, because "bride mornings," when the young wife receives her girl friends and shows all her presents, are quite the rage, to make up for the taboo placed on the display of presents at the wedding. —Exchange.

Women In Banks.

There are 60 banks in the United States where women are employed, and, curiously enough, out

the whole

number all save one are either married or are widows. Another curious feature of this employment is that no two women are found in any one bank, and no two banks where women hold positions of any kind are located in the same city or town. The posts filled range from bank trustees, presidents, vice presidents to cashiers and assistant cashiers.

Iron Bedsteads.

Iron bedsteads take on now many colors, the virgin white in which they were oftenest seen yielding frequently to pale pink or blue or green, as the case may be. White is cold, and the other tints, too, are in harmony with furnishings and draperies when desired.

Making Them Hustle.

Miss Addams, the new inspector of garbage collection in Chicago, is a little woman physically, but she is making the whole Nineteenth ward, an unsavory district, get up and clean itself and keep itself decent.—Boston Transcript.
