80 THINKS REP. DEARMONO
In an Address Before the District of
Columbia Democratic Association He
Says IViissouri's Delegates Would
Support Bryan Unanimously.
Wasliington, May 1-^Representatlve
David Dearinond, of Missouri, in an
£ddress before th« District of Colum-
Jbia Democratic association Thursday
niglit declared that ihe people of Mis.
souri look upon Mr. W. J. Bryan as
the logical candidate for the presiden
cy, and that Missouri’s delegates will
support him unanimously at the Den
ver convention.
Mr. Dearmond said in part:
“Some people criticise Mr. Bryan
And say lie ‘ran in 1896, he ran in
1900, he Is the perpetual candidate;
he is the man always to the front.’
Who ever got there with less self-
eeeklng and is in more thorough ac-
oDrd with the wishes of those who fol
lowed him than Mr. Bryan?
Honor to American Citizenship.
“Is there anything wrong in his be
ing willing to stand again as the can
didate of his part}', if his party w^ants
him? What is he doing now, or what
has he done to put himself in the way
of the nomination at Denver, that any'
man can criricise? He stands as an
honor to our American citizenship; he
stands as one of the Wghest and no
blest types of men—a Christian, pa
triotic gentleman.”
Representative Hughes, of New
Jersey, also s<poke. He said that
there are pivDbably 1,000 democratic
voters I’l his state who wo-uld oppose
Mr. Bryan if nominated. The unin-
etructed delegation,, he said, may sup
port the Nebraskan in the convention.
Hughes Says Bryan Is Right.
Representative Hughes spoke In part
as foUowB:
“I am for Mr. Bryan because I think
he is right. Let us look at it from
the standpoint of the politician. I
am for Mr. Bryan for another rea.
eon. While he may not carry the
state of New Jersey or the state of
INow York—and I do not say that he
oiuld not carry those states—it is my
firm belief that he is going to get
more votes in those states than any
other candidate that can be named by
the democratic party.”

SCHOOL GIRLS UP IN ARMS.
Forbidden to Wear Ultra-Fashlonable
or Extravagant Raiment.
New York, May 2.—The girls of
Horace Mano school, at Broadway
and One Hundred and Twentieth
street, have been forbidden to wear
ultra-fashionable adornment of Jewel
ry, high heel shoes and peek-a-boo
waists. This sweeping edict was giv
en from the pulpit in the chapel. Ever
since, the new dress reform has been
the chief to«pic of discussion among
the girls, w^ho aver that the boys in
the school are allowed wide latitude
in thtlr selection of wearing apparel.
Virgil Prettiman, principal of the
school, 'disparages the talk caused by
the new rule, and says that questions
of good taste in dress frequently arise
in the school.
Bewildered Her Colleagues.
For months the question of proper
•dress has agitated the pupils and in
terested the teachers. A certain
cJlque of girls have been in the hab
it of going to their class in raiment
that verged upon the extremely fash
ionable tj'.pes. Finally a grrl showed
ierself in a hat that bewildered her
.colleagues. It was a Gainesborough
affair with untold decorations. She
was told by one of the teachers that
she must not wear such a hat to
school. Another girl revealed a coif
feur gay with little artificial puffs
and was promptly commanded to
leave the surplus attachments at
home.
Another young maid demonstrated
geometrical problems on the black
board with her fingers decorated with
brilliants. These instances aroused
a keen rivalry among the girls in the
matter of dress, until the decision was
reached to tell the girls that there
must be moderation In dress.
Articles of Dress Blacklisted.
The following articles of dress wer<
.blacklisted:
“Merry Widow'” hats, or liats of ex
tremely large proportions, or trimmed
in a conspicuous manner.
Hair ribbons of too large size or
conspicuous In color.
False hair of any description.
"Lotta Faust” collars, “Dutch necks,”
and “maline bows.”
“Peek-a-boo” waists or w’alsts with
short sleeves.
lAII bracelets and Jewelry except
pins necessary for the clasping of col.
lars.
Gowns of conspicuous colors and
materials of extravagant price.
Light shoes, fancy cloth-topped
fthoes, or shoes wltli high heels or
with fancy buttons.
Thus It will be seen, about all a
girl’s little affectations of dresa w'ere
forbidden and the glrl« In their
“teens” are up in arms.

charge by the local management of
the Adams Express company when he

more of the details of the robbery.
ANOTHER PROBLEM SOLVED.
DIrtsct Observation of Interior of Hu
man Stomach During Life.
Munich, May 1.—The ploblem of di.
rect observation of the interior of the
human stomach during life has been
solved by Dr. Riehl, according to a

The method employed Includes the
passing of a double tube through the
esophagus to the stomach, the inner
tube being fitted with a small elec
tric bulb. Water 1b passed by means
of a subsidiary attachment through
the outer tube, filling the stomach.
The light is then turned on, permit
ting, ihe medical paper says, the clo
sest ob«eiTation of the movement of
the organs.

porant advance which will permit of
a closer study of cancer of the stom
ach and other Internal maladies.
