Tie prejudice against cut flowers in the sick room is probably a groundless one. Flowers with a strong perfume, like hyacinths, lilies of the valley and others, might nauseate the patient by their strong odor, but a few simple blossoms are cheering in their effect, and especially so when the patient is fond of flowers. Do not allow flowers to stand more than a day in the same water unless there is ¢harcoal in it.

We find that during the last six vears there have been 43,902 homicides in the United States, an average of 7,317 per year. In the same time there have been 723 legal executions and 1,118 lynchings.

In the last year 10,500 persons were killed, or.at the rate of 875 per month, whereas in 1860 there were only 4,290, or less than half as many as in 1895.

As for himself, he had enough faith in the integrity of the party to feel convinced that the party would not make. itself an annex to th=s democratic party. This statement gave the middle of the roaders a chance to cheer, but the Bryan followers were afforded an opportunity to shout when he added that there was a grave danger that it might be made a republican annex. “One danger,” said ke, ‘‘is as great as the other.

Our industrial and financial independence of other nations and peoples is involved in this campaign, and we firmly believe there will be no réturn of prosperity until we shall have changed our financial system so as to restore the bimetalic system established by our fathers of the republic; und, so believing, we urge all friends of gold and silver as standard money, and the opponents of a single gold standard, to give to Mr. Bryan and Mr. Sewall their hearty support. In advising this course we do not conider itanecessary that they shall abandon or surrender their political views on other questions.” The address is'signed by H. M. Teller, Fred T.

New York, July 24.—Mr. William C. Whitney, in an interview Thursday, was asked if, in his judgment, there would be a third ticket nominated by the “sound money” democrats. He replied:

‘T think events and the course of the republican leaders are making it inevitable. The general situation is far worse to-day. in my opinion, than it was ten days ago. The republican managers and candidates have shown no realizing sense of the situvation. They have failed to avail of a great opportunity for Dbenefiting the coeuntry.s If. the present condition ef affairs cﬁtinues for any length of time, ‘sound money’ democrats are bound to organize, and it cannot be prevented.” . Mr. Whitney says that the republican rarty managers, instead of sinking partisanship and uniting the ‘‘sound money’" men of all parties in an effort to rescue the country from impending disaster, subordinating all other issues to this question,” have thrown away . this opportunity for patriotic action by endeavoring to force, the tariff issue to the front, at a time when ““‘sound money’’ democrats stood ready even to vote for their candidate, difficult as the contemplation of such a possibility might appear to them. If they continue upon this line, said he, the ‘““sound money"’ democrats will nominate a third ticket and thus divide the ‘‘sound money’’ vote in the great battle ground of the middle west to save the vote from drifting back to.the Chicago ticket. i ) . i

Mr. Dowling appeared to be well pleased with the arrangement. e

The committee had to deal with a more delicate matter when the original McKinley and campaign fund question came up. Mr. Hanna sent for, Mr. Allerton, the millionaire packer, and National Committeeman Jamieson was also called in as the representative of the state organization. Mr. Jamieson submitted a list of four score Chicago citizens, representing every industry and mercantile pursuit, as the members of a finance committee whieh he proposed to make the official agents of the party for advisory and money-getting purposes. ey

. Messrs. Thurston, IHubbard and Cummings, for Nebraska, Minnesota and lowa, were questioned regarding the situation in their states by the commit tee.
