Well-known Meg"
Although Mrs Anna Bronson Alcott
Pratt, who died In Concord was never
in any manner connected with public
life and work ss her famous sister and
father were for many years, there is a
sense in which she has been very
closely connected with thousands who
never saw her For she was the orivi-
nal Of Meg" the sweet eldest one Of
the foar Little Women who have
been like sisters 10 all the young girls
Of America since they frst appeared
IN literature. And many women who
used 10 know Meg Joe. Beth
and Amy almost as well as their
own sisters, and who rejoiced
"Meg's' brave industry and
endearing womanliness and happy
home life, will feel pang
at the loss Of a familiar flesh
aud blood friend Of school girl days,
n learning that Meg" too, has fol-
lowed her sisters into the silent land
Beth died first, as in the story. then
the bright and talented Amy" and
only few years ago Louise Alcott. at
once the prototype and creator Of

children of Mrs. Pratt were not the
boy and girl who figure as Daisy
and Demi' in the stories Of the
Marches, but two sons, whose place Of

BRYAEs BACKBONE.

We cannot be- eve that Congressman
BRYAN has left the Democratic party
AN the grouni any enc hi = for such
ass eriiou IS contained in the iOIlIw.nt
rxtract from his speech delivered 20
the Nebraska convention:
want 10 say - you that If the dele
gates who come here properly reflect tie
sentiments Of the democratic parti
which sent them here. % the resolution
which you have proposed here,and which
you will adopt, u they reflect the sent
uents Of The Democratic party Of thh
state. and this party declares iD favor oi
a gold standard. a. IT viii II 10 passes thi-
resolution. II YOU declare In favor Of th'
impoverishment Of the people Of Ne

the Democratic party after you % home
lndorses your action aud this becomes
your sentiment. want % promise you
that will 20 out and serve M country

90 alone.
This might be taken to indicate that
he and bis party had come 20 the part
ing way. under certain condit ons, but
those conditions are not yet estab-
lished. Congressman Bryan is too
brave a Democrat 10 desert his party
because Of a divergence Of ideas He
was leader against the power Of or
gauized greed. and his fealty Is
stronger than warring IA tions He
was Democrat and a leader among
the hosts that asked for tariff reform
and he is democrat now.

in 'Plas Nave, Conway. North Wales,
built about 1850 and known as Queen
Elizabeth's Palace John Mansfield,
who has had charge of the interior
decorating and furnishing, explained.
The ceiling over the stairway is a
copy of that at Haddon hall. The fur
niture is of carved oak, somewhat in
the style of the Italian renaissance.
The tables, settees and chairs are de-
signed on similarly ancient lines, some
of the carvings being copied from ex-
amples that belonged to the great
Medici family now in the Pitt palace
at Florence.
The library, off the hall, is entirely
of oak and is of sedatc character.
The ceiling is ribbed in gcometr
form. The bookcases extend from
floor to ceiling. The furniture has
been either designed or adapted from
old examples, every piece being, so far
as its requirements would admit, a
faithful reproduction of some old mas
ter's conception.
The reception-room has modelled
plaster ceiling reproduced from that in
the banqueting hall at Crewc hall, the
seat of Lord Crewe and one of the
finest examples of Eliza bethan archi-
lecture in England. The carved and
inlaid furniture while not of single
period, represents the gatherings to-
gether of several generations and has
an affinity running throughout which
brings the whole into harmony. In
the pieces in this room Penhurst, Had
don hall, Hardwickeham house, Spoke
hall, Knole house and Hampton court
are repre- sented and other selections are
taken from the Louvre and Cluny mu-
seums in Paris and the South Kensing-
ton museum, all being old ideas but
In some cases adapted to more mod
ern improvements.
The dining room has remodeled
plaster ceiling, reproduced from tho
famous one in Campden house, Ken
sington. The carved oak paneling
and furniture illustrates simpler
treatment of modern dining-room Of
Elizabethan character. The embossed
leather of the wall was first done for
the new ballroom at Sandringham
hall for the prince Of Wales
There are large freplaces, suggestive
of comfort in winter, and painted glass
windows, pretty to look at, though not
particularly good to look through.
While the house, as a whole, is Eliza
bethan in character, it is modern in
many places, and terra Gotta has been
somewhat largely employed In the
lower story, with red-brick facing and
mullioned windows. The upper part
is of half timber construction with
overhanging and projecting gables.
The plan forms three sides Of quad
rangle, with the open sides next to the
lake inclosed by raised terrace with
balustrade. The center on the front
or inland side is reached with steps
leading from both sides of the covered
portico, which opens into Tho large
central hall.

The grand silver statue of Justice for
which the queenly Ada Rehan posed
was unveiled on Decoration day in tho
Montana section of the Mines and
Mining building. Hundreds Of people
saw the unwilling and cheered till
their applause rang through the rafters
as the folds that draped the figure fell
to the pedestal and for the first time
revealed the beautiful work OF art to
public view. Mrs. Richards, wife Of
the governor of the state that contrib

loosened the cords that held up the
yelling.
The statue is the largest silver figure
in the world. 1t is about 10 feet high
and is the life-sized figure of woman
poised on the large globe which rests
on the outstretched wings of gigan-
tic eagle. The silver, which amounts
