The dramatic and musical entertainment given by the Ladies’ Aid Society of St. Fhilip’s P, E.

An orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Don- ald MacLeod, and consisting of Washing- ton talent, rendered many fine selections, which were heartily applauded. Miss M. Valk, Mrs. Flint and Messrs. Seibold and McFall, vocalists, all from Washington, also came in for a good share of applause. Several fine tableaus were well received. A cornet solo by Mr. Hopp and several selec- tions on the trombone by Mr. Wm. Kaiser were noticeable features of the entert ment. Mrs. Mary J. Nichols, wife of ex-Justice B. F.

Maury Dove was the successful bidder for 5,000 tons of hard white ash anthracite coal for the State, War and Navy Depart- ment building at $4.63 a ton. The other bids ran as high as $4.93 per ton. The lowest bid is 89 cents more than the contract price for coal for that building last year, and 95 cents more than it was two years ago. The total cost of the coal for the present year wili be about $1,850 more than the same quantity cost last year, and $4,700 more than it was two years ago. This in- crease in price of coal is due to heavy ship- ments of coal to Europe. Not only has the price of the commodity increased, but the demurrage paid to ships has also increased, in some cases amounting to as much as $2,000 on a single shipment.

Iowa Democrats Indorse Bryan, but Silent on Silver. Iowa democrats in convention at Des Moines yesterday nominated the following delegates and alternates to the Kansas City convention: Kato Sells of Vinton, Charles A. Walsh of Ottumwa, John 8S. Murphy of Dubuque and George Baker of Davenport. Alternates—Edward B. Evans of Des Moines, Avan Wagenen of Sioux City, L. T. Genung of Mills county and Daniel P. Stubbs of Fairfield. ‘The proceedings: were characterized by harmony throughout, and the convention was the largest held by the democrats of Iowa in recent years, nearly 1,000 delegates being present. The prevailing sentiment was overwhelmingly for Bryan, and the delegates were instructed to vote as a unit for him at Kansas City. In the framing of the platform the more conservative element prevailed. The Chi- cago platform was indorsed and the gold standard denounced, but the ratio of 16 to 1 does not appear in the resolutions. The seiection of John 8. Murphy, editor of the Dubuque Telegraph, was a concession to the radical advocates of free silver. Mr. Murphy was at first inclined to insist on the inclusion of the Bryan ratio in the plat- form, but all differences were adjusted in the committee on resolutions. ———_+e+___ Providing for American Visitors. ‘The secretary general of the Paris expo- sition’ has requested the District Commis- sioners to furnish him with information relative to any societies from the District which may visit the exposition, in order to provide for their proper reception.
