WOMEN

WONDER

WHAT TO WEAR Unusual Social Festivities at Chicago Were Unlooked For. WOMEN ARE CAUTIOUS. Those whose husbands are politicians are protecting THE MEN'S INTERESTS, BUT GO FORWARD WITH OWN AFFAIRS. Chicago, 111., June 16. All of the convention women are now on hand. The arrivals have in the past day or two come so thick and fast that it has been impossible to keep track of individual women, excepting in the cases of those of more than ordinary note. Jt is now "the women of this or that Btate," or delegation rather than Mrs. So-and-So, as in the earlier days of preparation for the big event. A large proportion of the Eastern women came in over Sunday, such at least as had not already readied the city the day before, and today every train from the four points of the compass brings its quota of convention women. Hotel Corridors Crowded. In the meantime, the hotels, especially the Auditorium Annex, swarm as they never swarmed before. Some of the corridors are crowded with beds and bed furniture, hundreds of cots have been pressed into service, and Ingress and egress is all but impossi ble. "What Shall I Wear?" The question of clothes is becoming a weighty one with the convention women. "What shall I wear?" is a problem Which is being heroically wrestled with by more than one woman whose knowledge of good form is unquestioned in the regular routine of social life, but who finds herself stumped at lome of the unwonted situations which confront her in connection with this, to her, unusual event. Many of the women, especially such as have attended conventions in the past, in which there was no 'social Bide" and were confined solely to the consideration of hard politics, not anticipating this new feature, brought no elegant clothes to speak of. Arrived at the scene of action and witnessing the" brilliant dressing, they are confronted with the necessity of procuring fine raiment. The result has been hurried messages by wire or special delivery letter to send this or that with all possible speed to the Ecene of the festivities. Thus it has come to pass that many trunks are arriving some days after their owners'. Some women are so situated, however, that they have no one to whom to intrust he responsibility of sending on their wardrobes. Such have been obliged in instances to purchase complete new outfits and the result has been of profit to the downtown shops, of pleasure to the women, who would not be normal if they did not love to shop, and of pain to father or hubby who foots the bills and whose expenses are extremely heavy t best. Politicians' Wives Cautious. The women whose husbands are politicians are getting extremely cautious of being drawn into any expressions that concern politics. No matter what they say, nor how original the sentiments may be with them, the sayings are credited with being reflections of their husband's views. According to gossip, some of the women folk have "talked too much," and this has been the signal for every husband to warn his wife not to "say anything." In the meantime the women of the convention are going merrily forward How to Gure Liver Trouble There are usually several ways to do a given thing, but it is the aim with all of us to find the best and shortest way. It is just so in the cure of disease, leople Buffering from liver trouble imagine that all they have to do is to take something that will physic them. There is more than that in the cure of so serious a disorder as liver trouble. When that drowsy, clogtred up feellnjr comes on you go to a drug store and ask for a 50 cent or ! bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Take a dose or two and watch results. It will not only clean out the bowels and stimulate the liver, but It will pet the blood to circulating so that you feel active again, and arouse the functions of the stomach so that your appetite returns and you feel like your old self again. A simple laxative or purgative could not do that. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is not only a wonderful laxative but it has tonio properties, so that, unlike so many other thing's, instead of leaTln you weak and drawn It builds you up and strengthens you. It does not gripe it acts smoothly, oiling the intestines so that the passage is smooth and agreeable. It it rentle but effective, pleasant to the taste and pure in quality. It is an excellent, economical Home Cure, and its results are permanent. It is absolutely guaranteed to do what Is claimed for It. Use it for occasional or chronio constipation, dyspepsia. Indigestion, biliousness, sour stomach, bloated stomach, flatulency, diarrhea, and the dozen and one other ills of the stomach, liver and bowels. It is the greatest ot household remedies and no family should be without it because in a family someone at any moment may need such a laxative and then you will appreciate having Or.

And the Auditorium Annex is packed so full of women that the management of the big hotel is seriously considering hanging out a sign, "Standing room only," if the crowd continues to increase. It's If case of none but convention folk need apply. For six weeks the hostelry has refused reservations tor convention week and the rank outsider has absolutely no show on earth. Many a woman is seen these days disconsolately standing guard over her luggage while her husband ventures forth to find a place to lay his head, and incidentally his wife's, at some thirdrate hotel.

H00S1ERDQM WELL REPRESENTED AT BIG CONVENTION (Continued From Page One) arrangements in the big convention hall, of dishing nut the tickets to the heads of various state delegations and seeing to it that the small army of doorkeepers are assigued to their proper places. Ostensibly Mr. Stone, the sergeant-at-arms attends to this, but in this case as in the army the superior officer necessarily puts the burden of the actual work on his un-der-officer and that's why Col. Thayer is busy and looks tired and wan. Glad-Hand for Charley. Charley Edgerton, formerly of Foun tain City, and well-known to man Wayne county people, is a doorkeeper. Mr. Edgerton has been living at Rushville for some years and recently sold his hardware business. He is preparing to go to the southwest to re-engage in business of some sort, but decided to stay long enough to officiate at the big circus. While he does not say so in many words, yet he probably would close his eyes tighter than a clam should he spy a Wayne county man without a ticket looking his way. The chances are 10 to 1 thaC the Wayne county man would find himself in the convention hall, ticket or not, for Edgerton is filled to the brim with good nature and is always seeking to do somebody a favor. A Little Disappointment. Today tickets were distributed. Many men who traveled hundreds of miles on the promise of getting a ticket found themselves in possession of coveted bits of pasteboard that will admit them to but one session. Others, more fortunate and with stronger pulls, had tickets good for all the sessions. There were others, and tliey were in the majority, too, who still reetained the promises, but the delivery of the goods ha not been made. The story told some days ago that a scheme had been devised in order to hustle Indiana boomers of Fairbanks into the hall, brought many a Hoosier here, but most of them are finding out that the difficulties of arranging for entrance to the coliseum are encountered on every side. Delegates go Early. The Hoosier delegates, resplendent in their decorations of bronze bades bearing a portrait of Fairbanks, went from the Auditorium Annex to the Coliseum in a body this morning. The delegation entered the hall at 10:30, nearly two hours before the time set for calling the body together. This was for the purpose of ascertaining just what conditions would prevail. There is no question but that at least a dozen of the Hoosier delegation are desirous of seeing Fairbanks' name withdrawn and thus open the way for Indiana, to get in the bandwagon for Taft. However, it was said this morning on the best authority that the Indianians will stand as a unit for Fairbanks, in compliance with instructions. Do Not Want Roosevelt. Despite all declarations to the contrary, it can be said that every Indiana delegate knows that Fairbanks will accept the vice presidential nomination if the offer is made. It is also true that the Fairbanks managers are pulling wires with this end in view. It is not with any hope of getting Fairbanks in first place that the Indiana Fairbanks boomers are continuing their fight in the contested delegation cases, but with the idea of precipitating trouble that will defeat Taft and perhaps throw the nomination to Roosevelt.

WHEN ROOSEVELT WAS I DELEGATE

In Convention of 1884, Young Politician, Then Unknown, Made Stirring Speech. A REMARKABLE PREDICTION TWENTY-FOUR YEARS AGO JOHN SHERMAN DECLARED THAT THEODORE ROOSEVELT WOULD ONE DAY BECOME PRESIDENT. Chicago, 111., June It;. Twenty-four years ago there was another republican convention in Chicago. One of the delegates sitting with the New York delegation at that gathering was a slender young man, eye-glassed, so well equipped with incisors and molars that Roscoe Conkling had already dubbed him "that dentificial youth." His name was Roosevelt. He was in that convention as an Edmunds delegates, as an enthusiastic champion and apostle of civil service reform. That was his hobby in public life, one which he rode in season and out of season. Practical politics was a base thing which led to all manner of abuses. It enabled men to fix conventions and rule committees and write platforms and name candidates, and deprive a democracy of its rights. It created bosses, and bosses were odious and dangerous and un-American. Young Roosevelt did not attract much attention in that convention. He was not known. He could walk the length of Michigan avenue without having anyone turn to cast a look at him. He made a speech on the seating of the temporary chairman, a speech kicking against the practical politicians who ruled the national committee in the bad old way, not yet quite obsolete, and few listened to him. He did not make much of an impression. The young man himself like the glittering idea of civil service reform, which was his guiding star, seemed very much an outsider. Sherman's Prophecy. Only a few weeks before the assembling of that convention of 1SS4, probably the most remarkable prophecy known to the history of American public life, was uttered by a man then famous, now dead, a man wholly without imagination, the last man in the world one would have suspected of possessing the occult arts of the seer. He was John Sherman. Sherman was a candidate for the presidency. He r ed to win. Only a short time before convention met. Charles Kurtz, of his managers, and now here as niend of Senator Forarcer. was called to Washington for a conference. Mr. Sherman wished to have something done toward winning the support of the New York delegation. Various members of that delegation were mentioned, among them Roosevelt. When this name was spoken Mr. Sherman rose from his chair, walked nervously two or three times around his library, and then stood over Mr. Kurtz and exclaimed: "Yes. 1 have met young Theodore Roosevelt, and I want to tell you something. Before he dies that young man will be president of the United States." Why Roosevelt Controls. It is the young man of H years, of whom this remarkable prophecy was uttered twenty-four years ago. who now sits at the other end of the telephone wire and controls this convention. It is his rule that makes some of the faces so long. esterday. in a group of men who would be eminent and influential in almost any other gathering than this, there was discussion as to why he is aple to exercise this autocratic power. We need not follow the ramifications and divergencies of that discussion. But we may summarize its conclusions in a few words. The conclusion was that he is able to rule 1. Because he won the hearts of the people by doing things, or trying to do things they wanted done. 2. Because, civil service reformer as he was, he took to practical politics like a duck to fresh water and beat the politicians at their own game. . Indiana delegation as a rule do not favor any such plan. They understand that Roosevelt is impossible and that Taft is the Roosevelt candidate and the Roosevelt choice. Edgerton's Good Place. Charlie Edgerton received favorable recognition this morning by being made door-keeper at the main entrance to the coliseum. He will have a dozen men under him. Many Hoosiers Lose Out. The demands on the Indiana delegation for convention tickets are so great that not one in a hundred applicants were successful. There is much dissatisfaction on the part of those Hoosiers who came up here to boom Fairbanks and who in return get nothing but the icy stare. There is no hope for it, however, as the thirty delegates from Indiana received just eleven tickets each. There were three thousand applicants on file this morning in the Indiana headquarters. More than two thousand were turned down. Among the Wayne county men who were so fortunate as to land tickets at the last moment were Frank Lanch, of Fountain City; Dr. Martin Yencer of Richmond; John Taylor of Richmond; Charles Dunn, formerly of Richmond, now of Detroit; Ancil Dwiggina, of Fountain City; E. H. Gates of Richmond and Benj. Parsons of Richmond. Skirt and Suit Sale at Knollenberg's Store. Read the Ad.

Cures Eczema Quickly

New Drug, Poslam, Now Obtainable in Small Quantities. Since its discovery one year ago, the new drug, poslam, has successfully cured thousands of chronic cases of eczema and other distressing skin afflictions. Heretofore poslam has been dispensed solely for the benefit of eczema patients in large jars sufficient for a month's treatment, fhis was found to be an inconvenience to many thousands who use it for minor skin troubles, such as pimples, blackheads, herpes, acne, scaly scalp, .complexion blemishes, itching feet, piles, etc., which require but a small quantity to cure. To overcome this, and in response to urgent appeals, the dispensers of poslam have been obliged to adopt, in addition to the regular two-dollar package, a special fifty-cent size, which in the future may be found on sale at W. H. Sudhoff's and other leading drug stores in Richmond, on may be ordered direct from the Emergency Laboratories, No. S2 West 25th street, New York City.' In all eczema cases poslam stops itching with first application, and proceeds to heal immediately; chronic cases being cured in two weeks. In less serious skiu troubles, results are seen after an overnight application. Samples for experimental purposes may still be had, free of charge, by writing to the laboratories for them. COMPUIBfJF STENCH Residents Residing Near Slaughter Houses Complain of Odors. IS THE FIRST OF THE KIND. "Cleanse a slaughterhouse much as you will. But the fragrant odors will cling to it still." At council last evening Councilman Von Pein stated that the odors emanating at frequent intervals from the Richmond Abattoir slaughtering plant were to be described only as "fierce." He said that people living in the vicinity of the establishment were complaining of the smells. Dr. Bond stated that this was the first complaint of this nature he had received for several months and that i he would make an investigation. He ! said that the abattoir people had gone to great expense to make their plant odorless, stating that the smells from the refuse tanks were piped into the river. Thinks It Saved hi3 Life. Lester M. Nelson, of Naples, Maine, says in a recent letter: "I have used Dr. King's New Discovery many years, for coughs and colds, and I think it saved my life. I have found it a reliable remedy for throat and lung complaints, and would no more be without a bottle than I would be without food." For nearly forty years New Discovery has stood at the head of throat and lung remedies., As a preventive of pneumonia, and healer of weak lungs it has no equal. Sold under guarantee at A. G.

It is probable that the old style custom of raising surface of the ground above graves into mounds at local cemeteries will be abandoned. There is a general sentiment against the mound formations, as it is believed the flat surfaced green sward. looks better. The South Cemetery has been arranged in the modern way and a start in the same direction has been made at Spring Grove cemetery. You may be poor or wealthy, JUst as your fate may be.

CITI WILL 1 III CELEBRATING DAI Appropriation Made to Help Defray Fourth of July Expenses. ART ASSOCIATION PROFITS. $100 GIVEN BY THE CITY TO FURTHER THE WORTHY WORK THIS ORGANIZATION IS DOING. AT THE PRESENT TIME. Council last evening under suspension of the rules, appropriated- $100 for the Richmond Art association. Not a question was raised as to the legality of council making such an appropriation to a private organization, but when an ordinance appropriating $100 to the Knights of the Golden Eagle to assist in the proposed public Fourth of July celebration, there was much ado raised by the councilmen and city officers. Mr. Study stated that it would be illegal to make such an appropriation and Mayor Schiilinger stated that if such an appropriation was made the ordinance would have to be so worded as to make no mention of the fact that the money was to go to the Knights of the Golden Eagle, a private organization. After much eloquence and consultation the ordinance was amended to read that the $100 was appropriated for a Fourth of July celebration (no mention of the Knights of the Golden Eagle) and that this money was to be under the charge of the board of public works. Just before the ordinance was passed Councilman Wet tig stated that another point had been overlooked. He said that the ordinance did not specify what particular celebration the $100 was to be used for. He said that there would probably be several celebrations in Richmond. He was assured that the board would sea that the money was devoted to the purpose it was intended for. City Officers to Aid.
