Tomlln son litiU, when tlio Republican state convention met this morning', was pally decorated with hundreds of lings and banners. Just before tho con vention was called to order 5,000 people wore In tho hall. It was J0:lu o'clock when Stato Chairman J. K. Gowdy began calling tho convention to order, but it was fifteen minutes later ero the invocation was begun by tho Rev. D. It. Lucas of Indianapolis. Kx Secretary of tho Navy Richard W. Thompson was reported for jier maucut eliairman with a rousing cheer, and General Stormont was named for secretary. The report was unanimously adopted and whon tho white haired "Uncle Diclc" Thomp son assumed tlio gavel ho was greeted with a rousing recoptlon. JJes-pito his eighty-eight years, lie delivered a stirring speech which disposed of tho Democratic party to the entire satisfaction of tho cio'wd, and vigorously predicted u sweeping victory for Republican principles in the coming election. Then lie declared that tlio next Congicss should provido tlio ilrst tiling for adequate protection, and went on: "My friends, there is one man who is eminently fitted to seo that this country is given protec tion; one man who is identified above nil others with the policy of protection. (Wild cheers). I don't wonder at tho enthusiasm of tho country for that mail, at tlio general demand of tho people for Ills nomination for tho nomination of McKinloy. (Continued dicei'in,,'). I know MoKinley. I honor McKinlcy. I am for MoKinley." When Mr. Thompson mentioned General Harrison's name tho enthusi asm showed that there was no inten tion to siighttho Indiana man. At tlio conclusion of Colonel Thomp son's speech there wore loud cries of "Harrison, ' but tho ex-president did not appear, and tho report of tho com mittee on credentials was submitted and accepted without contest. Then came the reading of tho plat form and resolutions. These lauded the record of tlio .Re publican party, especially that por tion under President Ilurrisou; de clared for a protective tariff for wage worker's and producers; demanded honest money, not inferior to the money of tho most enlightened na tions of the earth; favored tlio use of silver only under sucli regulations that the parity with gold can bo main tained; opposed free and Independent sliver coinage; demanded rigid immi gration laws and called for a liberal construction of pension laws. i-ai'patiox ron m'kixi.ky. Tho resolutions closed as follows: "Relieving as wo do in n protective taritr, tho leadine issue befoto the people, we favor tho nomination as president of tho United States of a man who perfectly represents a pro tective tariff and the cardinal princi ples of tho Republican party; a man who lias devoted his life to the defence of hi1-, country in war and in peace; ono who, at tf, fought with Hayes and Crook and Sheridan at Antictam and in tlio Shenandoah in do fen. so of our llag against foes within, and for four teen years in Congress contended against our country's foes from with out, beating back British free trade and aggression, which finally, un der tlio present Democratic t.d ministration, obtained possession of our markets and has almost destroyed our industries; a man who, with 'the rcsistlcs-i shibboleth, 'protection nnd prosperity,' has challenged the atten tion of the commercial world and won tlio support of every patriotic work ingman of our country; whoso life and work, open as a book, aro in them selves a platform, and whose very name is magic that loyal American citizen, soldier, statesman and Chris tian gentleman, William McKinloy of Ohio; and tho delegates to the Repub lican national convention selected by this body are directed to cast their vote for Wtl'lam MoKinley as fre quently and continuously as there is auvltonc of ills nomination." Tlio enthusiasm of tho crowd be came intenso when tho chairman reached tho McKinloy resolution. At the naming of the" Ohio candidate thero was a wild cheer, which, when it subsided, was mot with vigorous counter cries of "Harrison." for several moments tho opposing forces ' howled for their favorites. When the climax was reached and tho phrase "directed to vote for William MoKin ley" was read tho cheers broke loose again. After order had been partially re stored, a motion to adopt was made amid a lively turmoil. Owing to the great confusion during the adoption of the resolutions, it was impossible to Arrive lit any accurate estimate of tho vote of tho opposing force.-,, tho ayes Icing reinforced by cries, from the galleries and eorridors, as were also tho nays, but tho indications wero tnat tho vote was about three to ono for the resolutions. Tho chairman de clared the platform adopted. HAItlllSOX HEX I)Ul!UFOU.riKD. Tho remarkablo featuro of tho af fair was tho sudden manner in which the whole matter was apparently dis missed from mind by tho crowd., None of tho party leaders cared to discuss the matter after it was all over. All expressed hearty admira tion for tho convention's Presidential favorite, and all declared that Indiana would enthusiastically and earnestly support tho Ohio candidate, despito pabt differences. Tho ca.y victory of the Mukin'ey men was, however, a great burprlso for the opposition lorces, who could scarcely explain it All. Hiyder Named fur Lougrei. I'oplau llr.upp. Mo., May 8.

X'JUt.ADPt.fiiiAi May 9. IT. H. Holmes, probably tho most notorious criminal of our time, was hanged In Moyamonsing prison at !0:l,lf o'clock this morning, but It was not until a half hour lator that ho was pro nounced dead, though his neck was broken by tho fall. Tho marvelous nerve of tho man never deserted him to tho 'very end. Even on tho scaffold ho was probably tho coolest person In tho assemblage. Just beforo tho trap was sprung, ho said: "Gentlemen, I have very few words to say, in fact I would make no re marks at this time, except that by not speaking I would appear to ncqulesco in my execution. I only wish to say that tho extent of my wroug doing in taking human Ufo consisted in tho death of two women, they havinrr died at my hands as tho result of a crimi nal operation. I wish to stato hero, so thoro can bo no chanco of misun derstanding, that I aut not guilty of takiug the lives of any of tho I'eiUol family tho three children nnd Ilenja rain, tlio father of whoso death 1 was convicted aud for which I am to-day to bo hanged. That Is all I hnvo to say." llolmcs Bpent tho greater part of his last night on earth writing letters. At midnight ho went to bed mid slept soundly until 0 o'olock this morning, when it took two calls to awaken him, Then lie received a visit from his spiritual advisers, Fathors Dalov and MnePeak, of tho Church of tho Annunciation, who administered tho last sacrament aud did not leave him until nearly 9 o'clock. During their absenco ho ato a breakfast of eggs, dry toast and coifce. At 10:02 o'olock tho sheriff called together tho olllcial jury and after each man had answered to his namo and subscribed to the certillcate, tho march to tho gallows was begun. At 1 0:03 Holmes and tho priests mounted tho platform. A moment of prayor elapsed, and then Holmes stepped lo tho front of tho scaffold, and, resting his hands on tho rail bo faro him, mado his statement of inno cence It was received in absoluto silence. Two minutes later Holmes had fin ished his valedictory. Then, at a silent signal from tho priests, he bent to his knees and his eyes wnro fixed on tho erucillx, clasped in His thin hands. Until 10:12 tho prayer continued. Immediately afterwards ho arose, shook hands with tho priests, and his lawyers, and in a firm voico bado them "good-by." Without an instant's delay Holmes's hands wero bound behind him and tho black cap adjusted. Sheriff Clement placed the noose about his neck and, after an instant of stillness, the crack of the bolt rang out like a pistol shot and tho murderer had fallen to his doom. Consciousness left him in stantly, said the doctors, although his heart continued a feoblo beat for fif teen or twenty minutes. Holmes's letters of farewell wero addressed to his wife in Oilmnnton, N. II., nnd Georgiana Yoke of Frank lin, Ind., tho so-called third wife. Ho also penned u letter of instruction to Mr. Rotau, his counsel. Absolute secrecy is maintained regarding tho contents of these letters. Father Daloy knows, if any living man does, whether or not Holmes wout into eternity with a Ho on his lips, for to him Holmes made a final confession, but what was eon Tided to tho priest Is a secret of tho confes sional and will never bo mndo public. At l'i:30 o'olock the big iron doors in tho rear of the prison swung in and an undertaker's wagon rolled out. In it was a black casket containing the body. Tho wagon drove rapidly to Mount Morinh cemetery, whero tho coffin was placed in a vault METHODIST WOMEN WIN. Tlio Four Delegate to tlio Conference Seated. Cr.KVEi.ASD, Ohio, May S.

This declared that tho committee was agreed that tho eligibility of women to vote in this convention was a constitutional one, and that the general conferenco had tho power to intorpret the constitu tion. Tito coinmittoo recommended a modification of the constitution, changing the qualifications of a dele gate by using tlio words lay delcgato instead of laymen, thereby making tho admission of women legal, and that this proposed amendment be re ferred to the annual conference of tho following year and that a two-thirds vote of tho general conferenco and a three-fourths vote, of the annual con ferenco be required to enact this recommendation into a law.

The lay delegates would not agieo to' this and Mr. Dennett's resolution went through. The woman question was again brought forward and President Daniel Stevenson of Union college, Ken tucky, criticised tlio action of tho bishops in deciding against tho action of tho women in 1883. Tho Rev. G. Neoly led tho fight against the women. Ho held that tho question was ono of law purely. He took up tho question of tlio blblo ar gument and said that it was truo that tho blblo said men and women wero ono in Christ, but not in tho general conferenco.

Helen is fond of him, but docs not see her way clear to deprive herself of other society without good reasons, and asks what sho should do. Answer: First of all, consult your own heart.then your head. If your engagement Is a settled and understood affair, and you lovo the young man well enough to wait for him, there la nothing more to be said, But it you are not formally engaged, and he wants you to wait on an uncertainty, do not do it unless you love him well enough to give up every thing else for him. Long engagements are unwise, and "understandings" are worse. Thoy mean much lo some peo ple and but little to others. One of the Interested persons is almost certain to suffer. It Is much better for young per sons to marry than to wait for better times. If they have the right spirit and nre truly attached to each other, there will bo but little hardship In working for their common prosperity. Dut do not marry without, first, respect, and then tho love that Is a de light and a perpetual comfort when the object Is worthy. Appropriate Gift. Anxious Mary wants to know what sort of presents would he appropriate for the principal of a public school. The gift is to be made by a graduating class. Also, gifts for class teacher (lady), German teacher (man) and the janitor. Also, how should a fourteen-year-old graduate have her dress made. It Is to bo of flue Swiss, How can teeth be made snowy white? Answer: Teachers are especially fond of books. If there Is any reference book they may have expressed a wish for, nothing could bo more appropriate. One class gave a teacher a handsome cabinet clook. An other gavo a pretty and commodious desk. A writing set is a most accepta- hie present To a janitor ono might glvo a gold coin, or a small sllkan bag with Borne silver, nnd with tho request that ho use It for somo Irlnklet ho would liko. As for tho graduating dress, tho best tasto demandH that It bo mado with tho utmost simplicity. A plain, full skirt or ono with sovoral tucka would ho suitable. Tho waist might bo mado full and trlmmod with lace edg ing In a cascade down tho front and la opaulcts nnd full collar or yoke. Tho sleeves should ho in full bishop shnpo, or with puffs from shoulders to clbowa" nnd with lnco for tho lower portions. Sleeves to tho elbows with bands around tho arms and full lace ruf fles would bo protty. With those, long whlto gloves would ho required. Flow ers aro nlwnj'B appropriate, and almost any kind may bo worn. Roses aro al ways tho first choice, carnations and lilies of tho valley. Nowndnys most young Indies havo a favorlto flower, and this they almost always wear. Snowy .whlto teeth nro not always to bo had by effort or enre. Somo persons havo dark nnd discolored teeth, do whatovcr thoy may. Your dontUt, who ought to understand your teoth thor oughly, will toll you what Is best for thorn. The treatment depends upon their quality nnd condition. Our ArtUt' Model.

Then ho enme nnd recommended Its use. It Ib used, hut tho penalty Is his and ho must describe It. You who believe with mo tlint men nro tho truo Indicators of women's fashions, hearken to his words: "Tho skirt had stripes that, perhaps, is ovldent from tho picture; but that M:&- iho girl was pretty is not so easily known. Of course, no one but a pretty girl should wear black and yellow; but nny girl, pretty or otherwise, ought to first consider tho color scheme of her gown. I'll begin at tho top of this girl, and, for fear you won't understand me, I'll try to call tho different parts of her make-up by their proper names. Black haii- that's necessary in ordor to wear yellow. Skip her face. Sho had black around her throat, and then camo some white fluffy stuff with bits of gold in it. Tho sleeves were the samo to the elbow, then black. The bottom half of her waist was black, with black glass sewed on, and the basque was yellow, with black stripes and tiny gold flowers so tiny that unless you were very close to the girl you couldn't see them. Then one man In twenty vjrould not notice them the girl wouldn't let him." And now the artist Is waiting to get even with me. "The Latest," in Chi cago News. t Jp wnk fill! 1 1!. ml If)
