HOT CAMPAIGN BEGUN DEMOCRATIC SOUND MONEY MEN ACTIVE.

Sound Money Men llusy. Wasiiinoton, April KM. Tho Demo cratic sound money bureau, recently opened here, has received most en couraging advices from "Democratic leaders of sound judgment, and, basing thoir estimates on thoso re ports, the managers of tho burenn claim that tho sound money men will have nt least twenty delegates from Ohio, twclvo from Indiana and sixteen from Illinois. Until now tho sound money men havo in thoir estimates of probablo strength in the convention conceded Illinois and Indiana entire tothofrco sliver side. One Of tho most' interesting bits of information given out by the sound money men Is that four of tho Missouri district dele gates elected at Sedalla nte not of the radical lo to 1 order, but tro conserv ative, and will bo ready to meet the sound money side in a compromise. Senator lirica announced yestordny that ho proposed to go to tlio Chicago convention to fight tho free silver men of Ohio. While Senator Gorman still pro poses to remain away from the con vention, there is u very gonernl belief that ex-Secretary Whitney has, like Senator lirlce, been prevailed upon to attend. Not only Is tho administration bringing into lino tho best and strong est sound' money Democrats, but other plans aro being laid. It now nppcafs that Secretary Carlisle's trip to Chicogo was not so much to deliver a speech ns it was to orgarizo a cam paign against tho silver movement in that State, which up to that tiino had been moving forward without appar ent let or hindrance A committee of 100 Democrats has been formed, with Mayor Hopkins of Chicago nt Its head, and this commlttoo is already actively at work chocking the silver forces. Scnntor Lindsay's mission to Ken tucky is also said to have no othor ob ject in view than nn arrangemont with tho lilackbum forces in that Slnto whereby harmony Is to bo so cured and Blackburn returned to the Sen ii to if the Stato Democratic con vention will send anti-sllvcr men to tho national convention. TWO PENSION BILLS. Which Cleveland Sat Down Upon With Crushing Weight. Wasiiinoton, April 23. Tho Presi dent to-day sent to tho Senate vetoes of two Senate pension bills. The first was that of Charles E. Jones, a pho tographer, which attracted considera ble attention in tho House. It is as follows: "To the Senate: I return herewith without my approval Senate bill No. i40, entitled, An act to grant a pen sion to Charles E. Jones. Tho bene ficiary named in this bill was a pho tographer who accompanied ono of tho regiments of tho union army dur ing tho war of the rebellion. Ho was injured, apparently not very seri ously, while taking photographs and where no battle was in actual pro gress. He was not enlisted and was in no manner in tho military servico of tho United Sfntcs. Aside from tho question as to whothcr his present sad condition is attributable to tho injury sustuincd.it seems to me the extension of pension relief to such Oases would open cho door to legislation hard to justify and impossible to refrain from abuse. Grovor Cleveland." The other voto was in that of the bill for a pension to Nanoy U. Alla bach, widow of Peter II. Allabach, who sorved in tho Mexican war and tho war of the rebellion. Tho Presi dent calls attention to the fact that Allabach made no application for pen sion on account of disabilities during his lifo and continues: "It is not now claimed that ho was in tho least dis abled as an lncidont of his military service, nor is it alleged that his death, which occurred nearly twenty nine years after his discharge from tho army, was in any degrco related to such service." ' Ho says tlio widow was pensioned after "hor husband's death as tho widow of a Mexican s Id cr, and that her caso falls under tlo general net of IdOO. "It is pro rosed, however." he continuos. "by the special act under consideration, to give this widow a pension of$J0 a month, without the least suggestion of tlio death or disability of hor hus band having been caused by his mili tary servico, and solely, so far ns discoverable, upon tho ground that sho is poor and needs tho money. Hor condition is precisely covereil by ex isting laws and, if a precedent is to be established by tho legislation pro posed, I do not see how tho savie relief as is contained in this bill can be denied to the many thousands of widows who aro in a similar situation and aro not on the pension rolls under general laws." Illll to Tax Inipuro liter. Wasiiinoton. April li'L Inline with the recent legislation against adulter ation of food and drinks.

This, it is suid, is of so grave a nature as to strain tho personal relations be tween tho two.

Lace edges tho gown and yellow ribbons adorn It. On tho combining color may be blue, or green, or pink, and the Hn- en may be varied with a tiny colored stripe. Think you such a gown Is dull? For tho sako of argument wo admit it Is dull. Thon, why not havo an or gandie, with immense flowers bunched over It? As to colors, it matters not. A delicate ground color it needs, but lor the blossoms, let them have colors galore.

Tho Latest, la Chicago News. flouns of T.llno Cloth. It is only fair, nftor so long n period of swnn-wnistcd creatures, with belts pulled half wny down over tho natural line of tho hips, that "things should tnko n turn," nnd tho fetching llttlo round-walBtcd yes, short-whlsted woman should havo n show. Under this now regime oven tlio rippled basqucB do not dismay hor. They only add einphasli) to tho shortness of tho waist nnd glvo a dash and chic to tha figure. And now that tho sleeves nro less enormous, another item In her favor, sho looks anything hut "dumpy." Tho waist must always bo trimly built nnd encircled with a well fitting belt, ono that will tend to lessen the appcaranco of tho natural size, Instead of, as no many unfortunate belts do, mako It look much larger than It real ly Is. It is neither eafo nor good taste to wear too light-colored a belt upon a dark gown. A black belt is nlways the more kind friend, so far as compass goes. Light ones, however, ore comparatively safe when worn with a light-colored gown. Then the con trast will not be so noticeable Tho girl with tho wasp waist may wear the white or gilt bolt to hor heart's satis faction, but who would exchange with her, for she has grown awfully passo?

Tho ripple Jacket opens in pointed fashion across tho front to show a vest of white satin overlaid with closely set rows of black cord. Tho lower arm of the alecvo Is also decorated with rows of tho cord. Cycling Dress. Daisy Dean asks what Is the most appropriate cycling dress, and of what should It bo made. Answer; Tho most sensible and bocomlng cycling costumo Is a moderately short skirt, shirt waist, blazer or Jacket and woll-flttlng high shoes, or, If low shoes are worn, a pair of trim overgalters. A corset waist should bo worn, as, of course, the reg ular corset Is not approved by any good authority. One sensiblo wheelwoman wears opera-length hoso of black, a short petticoat of black satin, moder ately full and buttoned together In tho middle bo as to glvo tho effect of full trunks. The skirt and Jacket are of rough-surfacod Priestley cravenette. There Is a vest of black satin provided to wear with It, also shirt waists and blouses, when desired. A sailor hat and thick gloves complete what Is vot ed as ono of tho most practical outfits of tho season. One advantage of the material Is that It Is strictly rain proof. Household Hints.
