In to shoping the iollry of the party

weak position was strengthened and a
Wg atep forward wan taken In giving
to the people rights which hiye hereto
fore been left solely to political lead
era. The referendum la the only hope
f relief from political corruption, and
the Incorporating of this into parry
nanagemont 1 a grand step forward.
This aetm, says the Chicago Ex
press, is the turning point In American
politic which will lead up to a soln
tloti of all problems by reference to the
people. There Is much work to do-und
the referendum committee named at
ft. Louis needs the earnest coopera
tlon of ibe people everywhere, but we
bare an abiding faith In the-millions
who make up the rank and file; and
believe that their appreciation of Jus
tice and right will prompt them to wil
ted action. The People's party has a
course outlined which In purely Ha
own, and that means the rule of the
T-eople and the dethronement of the
professional loos.
It was In response to a cnll Issued
Not. 23, lMi7. by the National People's
party organization committee that the
conference was held. The meeting was
called to order by Milton Park, chair
man, who atntcd briefly that the object
uf the meeting was the rallying of all
nx-mlrf-nj of the party who believe that
the cardinal principles of populism can
only be maintained by the Independent
action of the People's party without
fusion with either of the old organiza
tion!. W. S. Mrgarl was elected sec
retary and lla4iley of Minnesota, as
sistant. Thf) morning session w as taken tip by
the report of commit tees on organiza
tion ml!the appointment of a commit
tee of. twelve to outline a method of
proqedtire and prepare an address to be
ubmnted to the people of the lulled
State. :
The afternoon session of the confer
ence, was- devoted to reports from the
different States and an Interchange of
opinions as to the results of past party
action and the prospects for future
work on popullstle lines. The opinion
was freely expressed that every Indica
tion pointed toward a untied and har
monious People's parly pledged to act
Independently and 'on line laid dow n
in the Omaha platform, the people of
all pnrts of the country realizing that
there was but one hope of tlnnl success
and that was through straightforward
work. On Thursday the report of the
committee 'Of twelve was submitted,
and after a few suggestions, and
changes was adopted. , :
The address Concludes by ,-. s.ixlng:

of ends that tie with sasb effect at tbo

materials showing figure or stripe pre
sent no other ornamentation. Here are
a plain skirt of blue and white striped
silk aud another of accordion-pleated
light blue taffeta ornamented only by
Its blue ribbon bolt finish. A sash, bow
or looping of ribbon about the waist
may break he severity -of a skirt with
out counting as skirt trimming.
When the oversklrt Idea Is caxrled
out It often appears over a perfectly
plain skirt ami may bo cut In curved
apron effect in deep poiuU or even
slashed Into several long points. Lace
Is set alxjut the edge, or of tern the en
tiro overdress is a series of frills, luce,
chiffon or ribbon Is'lug usx'd. Some
times the oversklrt Is merely one In ef
fect, and Is really an elaborate trim
ming of the skirt, but. where the over
drew) Is really a separate garment then
often the skirt over which It Is worn
Is intended for wear -without It, and
when so worn Is, though uuornameut
ed, quite as much the vogue as before.
The one plclured here w-a.s of the for
mer type, and a most elaborate trim
ming It made. Its rich white lace being
edijed with white feather trimming,
lace and feathers being employed else
where as Indicated. The dress fabric
was green satin.
The woman with slender figure and
lightly sloping hips may be out of
fashion In these days, but she can
wear a princess gown and make tie
rest of us envious. Tho princess gowu
should only be attemip'.exl by the right
figure, and when the light goods Is at
your d!siKial. It demands rich ma
terial, beAvy lustrous s:ik, glossy sntln,
goode richly figured. Rich orange sat
in was th fabric of the on sketched
here. The sweep from bust to hean of
skirt demands anexqvlsiu.' surface. Of
ten some slight relief here emphasizes
the grace of the cut and obscures its
trying quality. A soft with knot at the
bust the encU hanging nearly to the
hom of the skirt, Is a good device, or
rich lace may be uuule to hang from
the left sdde almost at the cut-out to
well below the knee, as In this picture.
Use nothing but fine material. An
evening gown of another type may lc
faked, but the princess must bear in
apoctlon. So must shu who wears It.

CLAIMS TO BE 140 YEARS OLD.
Soorsjia Heajre Waa Bara BTa asiaoa"
bars tha TOlattaau
Samuel Andrew Gibbons la aa oM
negro, who, If bis claims are true,
lo tbe oldest living native of Chatham
County. Gibbons says that be Is 140
years old and that he was IT years
old when Lb revolutionary war be
gan. A reporter met Gibbons on Bay
street yesterday and bad quite a little
chat with him. He does not begin to
look as old aa be claims to be, but
be gives circumstantial details which
go to prove him a very old man. A
peculiar feature of his story is that
he says that up to a month ago, when
he returned here, be bad not been In
Savannah for seventy years. Tbe old
man is not in bis dotsge by any means,
and uses pretty good English.
"I was born on a Falrlawn planta
tion, over that way (west of tbe city),"
he said, "and I belonged to William
Gibbons. The Gibbonsee owned a
whole lot of property here them. I
a'pose tbey own some of it yet. I used
to run a barber shop right over on that
corner," pointing to the corner of Bay
and Montgomery streets.
"I don't know the names of the
streets now, 'cept one or two. Tbey
didn't have all theue streets when I
left here. That street they called
South Ilroud used to be the common
where the soldiers mustered. They
had a market here then, but it was a
wooden building. I don't know wheth
er it was the same square tbe market
Is now on or not.
"Yes, elr, I was here when the first
revolution In the United Stages of
America took place. I was 17 years old
then."
"You saw General Washington, of
course?"
"Yes, sir; I saw him. All the peo
ple turn out to see him, and they fired
guns."
"Did you see Lafayette?"
"Yes, sir. He was the man they put
down carpets In the streets for blin
to walk on. They had a big gather
In' In Monument Square and a whole
lot of soldiers. They don't treat Presi
dents no-w like they uod to."
The old man was evidently under
the impression that Lafayette was a
President.
"I was sold awuy from here seventy
years ago," he said, "and brought $000.
1 have been living all about in Florida
and Alabama ever since. I remember
the falling stars. That was seventy
years ago."
The old man was positive In all his
statements, a.nd could not admit that
he might lie mistaken In any of his
facts.
"I left a daughter in Florida when I
weait to Alabama," he said. "She was
Just big enough to tie in a napkin. I
went back there the other day and
found her, and her hair was whiter
than mine."
This statement, if true, would appear
to be pretty good evidence of , very old
age. If the old man was, as he eays,
17 years old when the revolution be
gan, he would be 1.11) years old to-day,
so thnt his statement Hint he Is 140
would not bo much out of the way.
Ills statement that the "foiling stars"
occurred seventy years ago is not far
wrong. The great: ineleoaie shower
occurred in lS-'C,; that is, sixty-four
years ago. He gives a circumstantial
account of this event, which Is not re
markable, however, as, according to
his own account, he in list have been
an old man then. Savannah News.
Tho Mysterious Assassin.
One night, shortly after the cele
brated battle of Fontenoy, its hero,
Marshal Ik Saxe, arrived at a little
village In which was an inn with a
peculiar reputation. It was said that
In this Inn there were ghosts who
Bljibbed or strangled all who attempted
to pass the night In a certain room.
The conqueror of Fontenoy was far
from being susceptible to superstitious
terrors, and was ready to face an army
of ghosts. He dismounted, ate his sup
per, and went up to the fatal room, tak
ing w ith him his arms and his body ser
vant.
His arrangements completed, the
Marshal went to bed, and was soon in
a profound slnmler, with his sentinel
ensconced in an arm chair by the fire.
Alsjut 1 o'clock In the morning the
watcher by the Are, wauling to get
some sleep himself, approached his
master to awaken him, but to his call
he received no response. Thinking the
Marshal soundly asleep lie called again.
Startled at the continued silence, the
man shook him; the Marshal did not
mir.
As he lifted his hands from the form
In the bed, the frightened servant saw
that they were red. The Marshal was
lying in a pool of blood! Drawing down
the cover the soldier saw a strange
thing. An enormous Insect was fas
tened to the side of l)e Saxo, and was
sucking at a wound from which the
blood flowed freely.
The man sprang to the fireplace,
grasped the tongs, and ran back to the
bed. Seizing the monster, he cast It
Into the flames, where It was instantly
consumed.
Help was called, and the Marshal
was soon out of danger; but the great
General, who had escaped fire and steel
for years, had lxirely escaped dying of
the bite of an Insect. He had found
the ghost.
