WANT A NEW YORK CHAIRNAN { Yew Plan Proposed by the National Re- publican Committee, MAY PLACE AN OUTSIDER IN THE CHAIR Reisons Why Position Should Filled by a Citizen of the Empire he e 513 FFOURTERNTH STREET, Wasninetos, D, C., June It {s not fmnprobable that the republican national committee when it meets for organ- ization will adopt a resolution providing that the chairman of the committee may be se- lected from without its membership. Thero is w very o inest dosire to secure the best P »sible man for tuis place. He should come from New York and bea well known busi- ness man, with health, vigor, leisure and the manugerial experience and ability to inspire u perfect orgauization. ibe committee has its headquarters in New York City and it is believed that the chair- man should be familiar vith the people and the politigs of that city and state, General Sewell of Now Jersey would have Dboen acceptable to the committeo as chair- man, but he Las not the time to give to the position. Wasiixarox Brreav or Tne Bee, } ny Adoptt New Plan, It )coks now as though it would be deter- mined the better part of wisdom to adopt the unusual mothod of taking the head of the committee from outside its mombership. Cornetius N. Bliss of New York has been in the city sinco yesterday moruing in couver- sation with members of the committee re- gardiog the chairmanship. Ho would be acceptable but it is not kaown that he couid devote suficiont attention to the duues. Postmuster Gereral \Wanamaker has pr seuted the pume of Mr. Diaston of Pbila- delphia for the chuirmanship but objeetion is offercd 1o taking any one from Philadeiphin on iecount of factional differences vetwean a few of the party leaders of thut state, How- ever, Mr. Disston is regarded as good timter. Land Commissioner Carter's fricnds say tbat he wi L insist upon resigning from bis official position wnd devoting all of his time until after the election to work upon the committee in the far northwest. Mr. Carter is a member of the committee for Montana and is askliful politician aud an able man- wRer. * lowa Democrats Hopeless, Representative Perkios of lowa said to ‘I'ne Bee correspondent this afternoon that the nomivation of Cleveland and Stevenson left the domocrats of the Hawkeyo state in quite as bad a plight as it did those of In- diena after Grsy had been dumped in the wud. 8 *‘in the first place,” said Mr. Perkins, “‘the lowa democrats attempted to muke a com- bination with Cleveland last fall and prob- ably effected tho combination whereby Gov- arnor Boies wus to be accopted for the vico presidential nomination with the stuffea prophet. Things run slong pretty smooth till the famous Hill midwinter convention in ebruary, when all of New York's seventy- 1wo delegates were instructed to vote for Hill. Then the lowa democrats concluded Clevelund was nou in 1t, and they switclied overto Hill. When they got to Chicago and found that Clovelaad was the winuer, lowa was dumbfounded. Then They Killed Boles, +Sho could rotcrawlish again and finally attempted 10 assume & noucommittal atii- tude s between Clevelaud and Hill in which her delegates made themselves ridiculous and sacriticed and numilated Boie: *‘When Cleveland was nominated, of course, he would not tako Boies us a running mate and 80 the Boies crowd was _dropped out in the cold. The members don’t stand in_ with uiy foction now. Boles now intends to run for the United States scoate, and under the dircumstar.ces I do not seo that his fricnds ut bome cat or will try to doanything for the national ticket. They will confine them- selves to the stato ticket. Hoies was a re- cent discovery and it looks as though he woutd s00n bo among ths lost ;His political race scems 1o huve been run as quickly as it was Legun. Ho wili not be goveruor Honored the Fencibles, A magnificent reception was tendered the National Fencibles upon their arrival home from Omaba this evening, They were re- ceived at the railroad station aud escorted to thoir armory by the National and Marion Rifles and thousands of citizens who were proud of the victory won at the Omaba driil. ihe raception tendered to the Iencibles was the most exilensive given toa military or- vunization, preparations for the event hav- Ing been commeuced last Monday evening ahen the intelligence of the company’s sictory was received here.

NATIONAL PROHIBITIONINTS, Preparations Making for Their Convention at Cincinnat Crxcrsyary, O., June 25.--The American Ppublic is by this time accustomed to national conventions, 8o that the aunouncement of another for next week will not be startiing. The national pronibition convention will meet in Music nall in this city on Wednes- day, Jfue 20. The convention bids fair to outstrip ite two predecessors at Minneapolis ana Chicago in size. The total delegate list is 1,101, and there are as many alternates, The managers say that nenrly all of these will be present, The national committes of the party opened jts headquarters this afternoon at the Grand hotel. Samuel Dickie of Michigan is chair- man. He has given many valuable sugges- tions to the local committed of arrangements and it is beiievea that all concerned will find everything in good order. Preliminary to the convention there has been arranged a mass meeting for Music hall tomorrow afternoon to be addressed by Miss Frances Willard und others, Chairmian Dickie talks like a politician about the party. He says it is not a church couvention. He wants it understood that all prohibitionists are not church members, nor indeed total abstainers from alcoholic drinks. Many men who drink favor the destruction of the traftic, and, Mr. THE _OMAHA DAILY BEl Dickie says, we aro u party and must get votos from ail available sources. The question of the nomineo for president naturally does not wear upon the nersons in- terested to any wreat dogroe. The first man in tho minds of most of the party, Mr. St. Jotn, peremptorily declinod to permit the use of bis name. The next man sugeosted is General Jobn Bidwell, the farmer of Cal- ifornia, whose land extends fourteen miles in length and threo miles i width, Called on the President, Wasmixeroy, D. €., June The pres dent had a large number of callors today, in- cluding several members of the repnblican nationul committee. The prosident is said to be devotine his attention just at prosent to a selection of a chairman of the committee, and itis supposed thut the question was dis- cuss d by the members who called on him. Among Uhose who saw the president this afternoon wera Socretary Kikins, Senators Manderson and Cullom, Postmaster General Wanamakerand Mr. Disston of Philadelphia. Invited to Make n Speech.

Silver Leugue Rexo, Nev., Juue 25.—The convention of the Siiver leaguo today adopted resolutions sendiug delegates to the Omaha and Mon- tana conventions and announcing that the Nevada silver pacty will co-operate with the American Bimetallic league of Washington. Aftor adonting resolutions of respect to the memory of Hon. Georze W. Cassidy, who died yesterday, the convention adjournod. R o Swiss Nobilit A few years ago the question was asked, *“Dc nobility still exist in Switzerland And no one was able to answer it. Of all the thousands of Eng- lish fol’t who haunt the Swiss hotels in summer, not one, it would seem, had in- quired whether that Rudolph von Erlich, whose equestrian statue they must have scen, hus any living descendants; not one had ever heard of the Barnese nobility—a noblesse which holds itself o high that it thinks but slightly of the British lega- tion. Yet from the Jura to the Lugano there is hardly a canton—there is per- haps no canton—in which noble mm}lins are not to be found, Some of these, such as the Plantas and the Buols of the Graubunden, have turned their cnergy into modern channels and make their fortunes, like the Hausers or the Seilerg, out of the English and the American tourists. Others, like the Von Allmen, have sunk into a humbler rank. But the greator part remain in statu quo, still enjoying. in the towns or in the country, u social prestige that varies with their wealth and their intel- nnture of the case, nobili is more or less an- t, und is therefore still venerable in public which hus not yet cast off all suce for historie tradition. The L for nce, contains a very an- ient noblesse, some of whom, as the De Sepibus and the De Cocatrix, bear Latin names, whether or not they cluim a Roman aescent. And a Romun descent assuredly is claimed by the Bernese family of Dentulus, who affiliate them- selves to that most illustrious house of the Gens Cornelin. In a conglomerative nation like the Swiss, the fountaine of honor huve been numerous. Some of the nobility owe theirdistinetions to the empire or to the dulkes of Austrin; some to the dukes of Zabringen, the founders of Berne and Frib urg, some to the dukes of Bur- guudy; some, who were Huguenots to the kings of France; and some of the more modern ones even to the kings of Prussia. —_—— Strangs Insanity, Albany Evening Journal: A strange case of insanity has recently come to light at Ballston. The unfortunate per- son is Charles H. Morris, 32 years of and an expert accountant. He has for a long time been known as a man of many eccentricities and has frequently been mude the object of practical jokes by sporting men, Itis thought that con- stant joking and teasiug have been a potent factor in impuiring his mental fuculties. He has several times lately left town for o few days, sometimes on business, sometimes on pleasure, and be- fore leaving caused to be published in the local pupers paragraphs to the offect thut he **had gone to New York to at- tend a convention of the ragpickers at the Fifth Aveuue hotel.” bout two months ago invitations were sent out an- nouncing thav he was about to marry a well known young woman trom @nother town. The invitations were bona fide, but on the day of the wedding Morris remuined in town, denying that he had any thought of marrying. He is con- sidered a first-class accountant, und ap- pears to be s sane us uny one, except for these actio o Was Washington Mean? At a woman’s club, recently, a letter written by George Washington to his mother was read, and occusioned con- siderable comment, says the Chicago Journal of Comme! In reply to u proposition of Mrs. Wash- ington to come to spend the winter with her distinguished son in the eity, be- oause she had rheumatism, and the roof of her house lenked, the general replied that, us for her roof, he would have it shingled at once and would send her o doetor, but that it would be impossible to veceive her at bis home, for three roasons: First, she could not eat at the tavle with his jzuests without causing remarks from them; secord, if her meals were sent to hor room it would inconvenience his wife, and, third, if sho were to eat with the servants, it would cause scan- dalous talk. If the document is genuine —and its veracity hus not yet been ques- tioned—it is a decided retlection on the table manners of Mrs. Mary Washing- tou.

Despite all geports to the contrary she does fall off {n learping to ride. She can ride. Inlearning she fell off—not in weight, but the égel& Sne couldn’t help it. Shetried to, by holding on so tightly that every mascle i her arms and shoulders folt next day as shoy did after her first les s0n 10 trying to twirl a ball in a_female baso ball club. That was nothing. They got ovo: it, and, more than_that, they never wou'd bhave gotten stiff and irascible if she haa hooded the admonition of her teacher, which was not to grip the handle vars, but merely to rest the bauds upon them with just bola enough to move them one way or ihe other, and this means no hold at ail to speak of, for they whisk about as lightly as athistlo ball in u breeze. This was some time ago when her big brother Hilly bougat an ‘ordinary,” one of the very-big-wheel-in-front and very-littie- wheel-behind kind of bicycles, 1t looked so fascinating that she wantea one too, but being the conservative daughter of conser- vative and law-ablding parents, and not wishing to bring their Keay bairs in_sorrow to the grave, she refrained from openly yield- w0 to temptation. But of late the ghost of the old desire to en mount aud ride a wheel rersisted in refusing to stay Jaid, and through very obstinacy _drove her again into the field of the hub, spokes and tire wooer. In the armor of her convictions that what already so very many and a rapidly increas. ing number of women, young and old, and midale-aged, find pleasure in doing must be wortby of imitation, she made up her mind to own a blcycle of her own. Sho has got it and has been through her preliminary season of courting and winning the consent of tho wheel. But even this trying period is made nowa- days a transitory one. or thers is the rid- ing school, and there are tho riding teachers all roady to chip in und help perform the cor- emony and get it over as some ministers do the marriage service—as quick as tho Lord and the civil law will let thom, Not that they hurry you, oh dear, n can be a monthora year learning if wish, but providiogs one wisnes to make all roasonably speed in acquiring the coveted koack of getting over tho ground iike a streak of greased lightning, there are all the accessories to strengthen one's resolu- tion. She took 10structions at a Fifteonth street riding school. She was first asked to make a tour of the track aud repeat the operation several times in the “cradle.” This *‘cradle,” alias ‘“‘tutor.” is a nondescript and comfort- ing kind of thing. Originally it was a bicycle of the regulation, low safety pattern, to which have been added on each side a pro- jecting arm, or rather leg, engding in a big castor for foot. These castors just clear the floor, or would if the cycle were balancea, but as no beginner can balance the wheels sho rides or he rides round acd round to learn the pedal motion, one castor or the other grinding the wheol along and preven.- ing an upset. “You balance yourself by moving the handle bars to_the right or left,” says the instructor, and that sounds easy, and you proceed to wiggle your arms hack and forth, holding on—though' you've been toid not to— like grim death. TEte only result is to p an inch from one buz-z-ing rocker of your cradle and flop over with the other, and go plough- ing along. After the first lesson, said the instruc- tor, her breath was almost taken away by being informed that she had ridden without Kknowing it a quarter of the way around the track nlone. She ate, dined and slept bicy. cles for the rest of the day, and arrived bright and early thé next morning for a sec- ond installment, looking enroute at every bicycle rider she mot with such respectful and admiring attention. She got out of their way, too, with- cheerful alacrity, and mentally registered & hope that in days to come, when she would be a road rider, that p‘eonplo would show her the same considera- tiol. Little by little she got the koack of bal- ancing the wheel and herself above it, anda a glimmer of confidence in going italone under frequent corrections ana calls of “Steady, steady there,” aud save from the somewhat frequent interruption caused by too close proximity to padded wall, floor, blue-trous- ered legs of the instructor tramping in front beside auother novice, or uo obstacle &t all but a case of blue funk, she managed to ride several strotches alone all on her own hook, or rather on her own wheel. In the third lesson, ing committed to heart most of the primary instruction, in- cluding the keeping of her eyes off her wheel and whead of her, and having acquired fair success in applying them all at the eriti- cal moment, she rode, as she thought, pretty well, and for several laps without disaster. In a little while she was told that she must now learn to mount. There was no disguis- ing it, but the tug of war came. Her petti- coats were 1n the way and feminine lack of coarage, that retards progress since it de- ters one from risking just that free spring which a boy gives with a hit-it-or-miss-it-I- dow’t-care air—and he always hits it. Three thiugs there are to remember After you step 1nto place in front of tne sad- dle, and draw hall your skirt across the cen- tral bar connecting the wheels, put your right foot upou the right pedal, vault into your seat, and steady your machine mean- time. It is easier said than done. and nothing short of a dispensation of providence is ever going to make this part of the problem any- thing less than a labored effort and pationt practice for women, It's easy as rolling off a log when you once get the hang of it, but iv's difficult 1o get the havg of all three movements simultancously, and until you do you roll off the bicycle as easily s you could off any loz that éver grew round. As yet she has not udopted the divided skirt.” She wears an ordinary walking skirt, under waich is a pair of tignts. 'The local instructors say she is, as a rule, more grace- ful, und appears in public to better advan- tage on a wheel than does a man. The skirts bide her limbs, and strange to say are more admired for her gracefulness when the unseen leg se ws around the pedal. With 8 man, every musclein his leg is seen to work. In female bicycle attire it seems thero is room for improvement. The full skirt is too baggy .and balloonlike; tho bell skirt proper is tootightfittiag over the knees; the demitraiu is as appropriato on a wheel as & chiffon jabot on a bootblack, A short skirt 15 equally objectionable since every revolu- tion of the wheel lifts 1t to the top of a tall boot. Boots, by the way, are a back number when bicycles are about. A low shoe is the thing, and as natty s cloth gaiter te top it off with as mademoiselle; sees fit to invest in, The play of a boot over the instepis most uncomfortable and likewise bad for the boot. But any skirt thatis balf way feasible will answer vory well providing —always provid- iog—it is well managed. | Mostly it isn't. A woman fairly aches, much of the time, to say 10 wheelwomen she. sees about her, “Even up your skirts, dears, eyen up vour skirts,” meaning get as mueh ,material on one side of the saddle as on the ather, ‘The women of thp, wheel club have learned to ride in about a half dozen lessons, and are now able to mako ‘short runs.

OTHER WELL KNOWN TILLERS OF SOIL | Agrleultaralists Hascall and Edgerton Leave the Furrow to Address Their Fel- low Farmers—Work of the Douglas County Third Party. ‘the Douglas county end of the third party mot in couvention at 2 o'clock yesterday | afternoon in Clark’s hall, 107 Soutt Four: | teenth street, to nominate delegates to the state and congressional conventions, both of which were called for the puroose of elect- ing delegates to tne national convention to bo beld in this city July 4. Seven of the countey precincts were not represented. The 131 delogates who wers o hana were called to order by John Jeffcoat, chairman of the county central committee, . In the absence of the regular secretary, A. J. Goodin was selected to temporarily keep tab on the proceedings. . P, Hedges of South Omaha was clocted temporary chairman, and appointed tho fol- lowing committee on credentials: K. Stod- darg, . A, Barrett, Christian Orff, Johun Thomas and Frank Hibbard, To fillin the vig gap in the proceedings caused by the deliberations of the committee on (credentials, Farmer Vandorvoort was called on. He filled the cavity ,to the extont of 348 pounds, He Felt Real Bud, Paul had a grievance and he felt real bad. He said some of his third party brethren right here at home had been telling all sorts of stories about him, and he didu’t think it was a square deal. ‘Things were gotting to such a pass that he didn’'t know but he would have to carry a certiticate to prove his fealty to the new movement. He said that it grieved him to the heart’s coro to find things thusly, when ho should be the last man on earth to whom to attribuie insincerity regarding this move- ment. He had been proud to sacrifice a good position, to go without employment and to mortgage his home ia order that he might work without remuneration or hope of any for the cause that he loved. This made many of the delegates smile broadly, but Paul heeded them not, and con- tinued to allow his voice to filter through his teotn. He wanted it understood that the third party men who were going about ped- dling stories about him aud asking whother or not_ho could be trusted, were but carry- ing out the wishes and behests of his old- time enemy, the editor of Tne Bee. Ho intimated that Rosewater was running the new party and would soon have it whero he wanted it, stranded helpless on the shoals. **Must I go to Allen Root or Alfred Fawk- ner for a certificate as to my fealty, de- manded the impassioned mouth farmer, ““whon I nave never vet been even suspected of trickery or false dealing{" He's Independent All Over. And thon the husky agriculturist told - of the eleven long droary months he was in the rebel prison at Andeérsonvilie, but neglect- ing to state whether he served his appren- ticoship there by proxy or otherwise. He descauted on what a great man he must nec- essarily have bzen to be placed at the head of the Grand Army of the Republic and to have known John A. Logan during his life- time. After leading his audience up to a proper pitch of admiration he said he pro- posed 1n the future to do as he pleased and he “dido'tcarea coffer d—n” what they thought of it. James Mulhall told of his acquaintance with Vandervqort, covering & period of twenty-five years, more or less, and he said ho had always honcred him, but he wanted every one in the hall to understand first, last ana all the time that if any one came in there to try to engender personal feeling against another brother, the offender wouid be sat down upon so hard that he wouldn’t know who he was or what his name was or whether he was standing on his head or his feot. What Some Other Farmers Think, And then Isaac S. Hascall felt called upon to volunteer a few remarks, and to caution the faithful against lotting any wire-workers pull them apart. He averred that silver would yet be #s much of an 1ssue in tho cam- puign as the wariff, aud ho wanted the Doug- las county end of the party to stand firm and_cut down the big majorities, so that the farmers could go ahead outside and carry the state. Joseph W. Edgerton was called on, and, of couse, would not sacrifice a good opportunit; to bo seen_and heard. Josepnus is a frugal fellow, so he carefully deposited the last half iach of @ very black cigar on tho secretary’s tabloas he stepped to the front to champion Vandervoort’s cause. He declared he loved that man for the enemies Lie had made. He knew there was a good deal of suspicion within the ranks of tuhe party, but it was only a natural result of the defeat and abuso which had been heaped upon so wuny of the members. Workers on the outsido were bound to defeat the reform movement atany cost and at all hazards. The return of the committee on credentials put a stop to the specch making. They ro- ported Th favor of seating all present whose names had been handed in, as there was no contests. The report was adopted. ‘The sheep and goats were then assorted, the delegates being called to the front and the spectators relegated to the rear, after which the temporary orgaunization was muae permanen L.

Then a delegate moved to instruct for Van for governor, too, but was ruled out of order, because this dologation wasn't going to the state nominating convention. Several of the delegatos wanted the motion put, Anywa; and for a time the atmosphere was very Van Wyokish, but the followers of the ex-senator finally had to be contont with just feeling that way.

The independont congressional cenvention of the Second district mot at Clavk’s hull, on South Iourteenth street, last night, to elect four district delegates to the national con- vention. J. M. Kenney called the convention to order and was made temporary chairman. Fraok Hibbard was elected secretary and a committee on credentials was apoointed con- sisting of S. . Brigham, H. Cohen and John Jeffcoat of Douglas county, C. A, Whitland of Washington ana J. M. Coolidge of Sarpy. After the committeo had retired Silas Rob- bins, o colored deiegate, was called upon and mado a brief speech. Ho said the peonlo’s party was called tho third party now. but it would be the first party after the election in November. Clark Potter took the floor to state that the rank and filo of the republican party did not kuow what the record of their party wa: If they did they would all have becoms ind. pendents long ago. Ho was in the miast of an attack on the memory of General Grant when he was intorrupted by the return of the committee on credentials. The commit- teo reported that thero was no contest and seated the delegatos as elected. How They Divided The question as to how the four delegates were 10 be divided occasioned a vprolonged discussion. An avalauctic of motions and amendments and substitutes was hurled to- ward the chairmau, who finaily remarked chat he guessed that there haa ‘been *m - tions enough made to cover this .hing," and they would proceed to vote. Finally the om. whole grist was tabled ana a res- olution passed giving one delegato to Sarpy county, one to Washington, ouo to Omaha and one to South Omaha, with the provision that the rural districts of Doug- las ccunty receive the support of the entire delegation for a delegate-at-large. L. R. Fletchor was recommended by Wash- inglon couaty and R. M. Carpentor for Sarpy, and they were elected by acclama- tion. On the question of Omaha’s representation a differouce occurred. D. C. Deaver nomi- nated Paul Vandervoort, but there was a8 good sized slice of tho Omahn delegation who woulda’t have Vandervoort anyway. They put John Jeffcoat in nomination. Cn the ballot the Ccountry precincts voted solidly for Van- dervoort, and by their aid he was elected. S. D, Ityueason was elected delogate from South Omaha by acclamation:* “Tho delogation as completed is as follows: Omaha—Delegate, Paul Vandervoort: alternate, Johu Jeffcoat. South Omaha—Dalogate, S. . Ryneason; alternate, S. P, Brigham, Washington County—Delegato, L. R. Fleteher: alternate, C. A. Whitford. Sarpy County—Delegate, R. M. Carpen- ter; alternate, Silas Latkrop. A district central committee was electod consisting of J. M. Kennoy, Z. P. and . Stoddard of Douglas, C. of Washington aad Charles Sarpy. Davo Rowden moved that the de.egation be lustructed to vote for Walter Q. Gresham for the independent nominoe for' president, but it was suggested that Gresham’s candi- dacy was a doubtful issue, and the motion was withdrawn.
