The Temporary Craftsmanship.


ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 1.-THE coast
delegates is the general name given the
gentlemen halling from all points west of
Denver. There has been no formal action
providing for Joint meetings or fusion of
interests. Nevertheless the delegates
work as unit, and although scattered
among three hotels, they fraternize and
aim to achieve the same end. They are
an active crowd and when there is any
thing to be gained by work the coast dele
gates get down to business in a way that
commends the admiration of residents
and visitors who cannot understand the
energetic style.
The California members began their
labors before breakfast and they applied
themselves to the business before them
like a lot of beavers. At 9:l5 p. m.
Stephen Nj. White was pushed for tenn
porary chairman and no one with a voice
or influence to bear on the Democratic
national convention escaped without bring
ing himself to comply with the request
of the coast. The canvassers were
adroitly ~managedby Senator English and
M. +. Tarpey, and so well did they ac-
complish their work that it was not
generally known until late in the evening
that there was any organized effort to
boom White.
Col. Fordycc of Arkansas lent his assis-
lance and did yeoman service in smooth
ing over the ragged edges of a first ac.
quaintance whenever he saw a delegate
who did not take kindly to the California
Overtures. Tarpey at a late hour was
enthusiastic over the prospects, and as he
stood in the rotunda OF the Southern
hotel he counted the names of fifteen
national committeeman who would vote
for the California delegate.
Senator German of Maryland was men
tone | this morning for temporary chair
man, but he emphatically disclaims all de-
sire to WELD the gavel during the opening
hours of the convention. The senator
openly espOuses the candidacy of White.
He thinks it would be a wise political
nov to recognize the coast by extending
this compliment, as the Selection of a man
from the Pacific coast would awaken a
kindly sentiment that would not be with
out its effect at the fall elections when it
might POSSIBLY give that state to the Dem
ocrats.
The argument having been advanced is
freely used, and will be held to bias com
mitteemen who may waver under the fire
of discussion. Governor Whites good
qualities haYe not been overlooked or
neglected. Governor White has been
circulating in the rotunda all day, and has
made a host of friends. His personnel
pleases the public, and his dignified car
riaGe and decOrous bearing all indicate a
man who can control any body over
which he has the honor Of presiding.

That variety Of the human species
which rests it's claim to consideration
mainly upon dress and affectation, has
had during the last half century four
slang designations, two of which are
obsolete. It has been a buck 81
"dardy" q 'sswell' and t.d,1tle.' The
last mentioned epithet still continues
to mark the distinction between the
man who relies on his tailor to make
him acceptable to society and the more
sensible portion of the race.
just now the ramblers among words
are trying to get at the origin Of
''dandy;'' but rs .swords," in the
language Of Dean Trench, soften ride
verH slackly at anchor on their ety1no-
logies." they find it difficult to trace
this once familiar appellation to Its
source. It seems, however, to have
sprung from Jack-a-dandy, a common
name for q dashing, lively fellow, as
far back as 1852. There was nothing
blithe or debonair about the .sdandy''
of forty or fifty years ago, however.

To the hotel they drove, and securing one
of the best rooms, he had the most skilled '

Much Of his time was spent at her ped
side: and when those sweet blue eyes hrst
opened imbued with reason, they fell upon
the pale, anxious face Of the young edlIor.
For days she was too week to talk, OUT
when she grew strong enough he told her
all. She then informed him that her motner
and Oldest brother were dead, and her nus
band having become unbearable, she was
flying from him at the time of the accident.
At the last stop before it occurred, he hav'
ing come ahead of her on another route,
had boarded her car. He had just found
her and swore he would kill her when there
was crash as if Heaven and earth were
meeting together, and she knew no more.

living at Dayton, and telegraphed her to
come at once to her injured niece. Tenderiy

ssNo, not before, but remember that will

Their parting was simply as friends,
Bertha looked very pretty in widow s
ing for the man who in life had made her
! miserable.
Allen waited anxiously for the hour when
all restrictions should be removed Mean
while he was becoming one of the foremost
newspaper men of the time. From reporter
he had reached the position Of city editor on
one Of the largest and most widely known
dailies in Chicago.
The year gone by, Allen wrote, and in due
time received an answer The correspond
ence became regular, and at the end Of an
other six months a leave Of absence was
granted the overworked city editor, who
hied away to some place in Ohio.
Reaching Dayton he hires a carriage and
orders the driver to take him 10 Mile.
Camille's. AS the carriage draws up to the
pretty cottage gate, there standing by it,
awaiting him more beautiful and youthful
in appearance than when he had seen her
on the bluff bathed in the golden light Of
the setting sun,was the same angelic Great
ure, whom he had loved SO long.
He sprang from the carriage. There
being no barrier to check their natural inn
pulses, heart met heart in one long raptur-
Gus embrace. Claude came to shake the
hand of his friend, and even Mile. Camilla
could muster up sufficient English for q de-
lightful conversation.
Allen was SO long missing from his desk
that his associates began to wonder what
was the cause of his protracted absence.
The managing editor seemed to know the
cause, though he kept his own counsel.
At last Allen returned to his post, bright,
smiling and happy. Luke, who was now
associated with him on the same paper,
asked him great many questions in re-
gard to his visit, all OF which Allen evaded.
A few days later, however, when he met
the city editor on the street, accompanied
by the prettiest bIue-eyed. golden-haired
creature he had ever seen, who was intro
duced to him 10y her proud husband AZ Mrs.
Allen Gray, Light began to break in upon
his darkened mind, and he thought he
understood fully the cause OF Aliens pro
tracted absence.
A few weeks after his marriage and re.
turn to Chicago, Allen received a letter
from Toney Barnes, accompanied by a
poem for which he hoped Mr.. Gray would
find publisher. Toney stated among other
items of news that Simmons and Strong
had at last succeeded in financially running
each other The Western Republic had sus-
pended several months before, and Miss
