THE MODERN OYSTER STEW.
The Middle Aged Man Contrasts 1t wiz

The Middl Aged Man Contrasts 1t VIII
the Stew o, Before the War.

said q middle aged man, the price OF
an oyster stew in q good ordinary res
taurant Was l2R cents. The price has
gradually gone up until now, in a good
restaurant, en- ordinary stew costs 25
cents. In the old restaurant there was
a cloth upon the table, but this cloth,
unless you happened to find it when it
had just been put on, was apt to be fres-
coed with coffee stains. There were
catchup and vinegar and SO OH, some OF
them perhaps in bottles in a caster.
Perhaps the waiter gave you q pickle or
two. The light was not very bright
The waiter brought the stew in an oys-
ter plate, and as the hot broth washed
about a little in the plate as he carried
it and ses it down you were afraid 1t
might burn his thumb. But the oysters
were good. Let me pause to remark that
the oyster is something to be grateful
for.
To-day the table, without a cloth
perhaps, is cherry or mahogany, finely
polished. For a cloth there is spread
before you "a napkin of ample dimen.

is chopped up celery and very good.

Pierre Journal; We have been at d
loss to know the basis for that twenty
five thousand dollar suit Benedict has
commenced against Attorney General
Crawford. 1t has just occurred to US,
in view of the way he is being feted and
dined by Plerre's social four hundred,
that the basis Of his suit would be for
impairment Of digestive apparatus and
general debility resulting from excessive
hospitality. Considering the fuss made
over Benedict, two or three fatted calves
would have to be killed IN Pierre should
Tayler himself arrive.

FREE SILVER
Memphis Meeting the Largest
Of Its Kind Ever Held in
This Country.
ALL CLASSES REPRESENTED
Farmer and Lawyer, Artisan
and Merchant Fighting for
One Principle.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 13.-The larg-
est meeting ever held in this country
for the discussion of a single economic
question convened at the Auditorium
in this city. Certainly no such out
pouring of men Of all classes, from the
tiller Of the soil to the representatives
of the bench and bar, the artisan and
the merchant representing all political
parties, but unanimous upon at least
one principle of governmental policy,
has ever been seen in the South. While
an overwhelming majority of the dele
gates to the ''honest money" conven-
ton, called in the interest Of ~freeiand
unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio Of

country. the representation includes
almost every state south OF the Ohio
river and west of the Mississippi from
Puget Sound to the Keys of Florida;

called
A Monster Mass Meeting
than a convention, for there is no fixed
basis of representation, and it is not
held'under the authority of any polit-
ical organization. The promoters OF
the conference claim no credit for
bringing about this imposing demon
stration. This they are generous
enough to accord to their opponents,
the "sA.nd money" advocates. They
say this spontaneous manifestation Of
a strong and growing public sentiment
may be traced directly to the conven-
ton of May 20, at which Secretary of
the Treasury Carlisle was the guest of
honor. Taking their cue from that
gathering, an invitation was extended
to the friend, of free silver to partici-
pate in a counter demonstration with
a result that far exceeds the expecta-
ton Of n of the leaders of the move.
ment. "a 3"~' .
All Parties Represented.
2 While the gathering comprises Dem
ocrats, Republicans and Populists and
supposedly non.partisan, there is much
of interest to the political observer.
The convention, despite the presence
of delegates representing the two old
parties and the third party, is not like
ly to consult in anything more than an
amount Of speech making and the adop-
ton of strong free silver resolutions.
The convention was called to order
by Colonel Young, who extended
the usual greetings to the con-
vention, and saluted the delegates
as the advance guard of q mighty army
to overthrow a power more ruthless
and ~rapacious and more hurtful to hu-
man happiness and prosperity than any
despot that ever shackled liberty and
oppressed mankind.

1t has often been a puzzle to students
Of Shakespeare why his name is spelled
in 30 many different ways. Shakespeare
himself is said to have signed his name
on different occasions "Shakspeare'' and
"Shakespere, ''and learned disquisitions
have been written to prove which is the
proper spelling. None perhaps was more
amusing than the weather" reason
given in 1851 by Albert Smith, who
averred that he had found it in the Har-
leian MSS. 1t was as follows:

Tho Word Cigar.

The word cigar is believed to come
from the Spanish cigarra, meaning a
grasshopper, and at first the significance
and propriety Of the term seem ques-
tionable. But in Spanish a garden was
cigarral, or the place where the grass
hopper sang. Tobacco was usually grown
in a cigarral, and when the leaves were
rolled up and brought to a guest the
host, specially to recommend the prod
uct, was careful to state that it was
grown in his own cigarraL. Thus the
word which means grasshopper came, in
a modified form, to be applied to the
habitat Of the grasshopper, and finally
to the cigar. whose material was grown
there.

A good authority on the wheat mar
ket, the Pioneer Press, in its issue of the

timorou condition at Chicago yesterday

certainty as to the actual condition of
the crop here and abroad. The specula-
tors were awaiting with anxiety the gov
eminent report. 1t is published IN our
columns this morning, and Its figures do
not justify the tendency to bearishness
which was exhibited yesterday. For the
winter wheat prospect has fallen to Il
per cent-and this is a heavy factor in
the wheat supply embracing the bulk of
the crop in the central belt OF western
states from Ohio to Kansas and Nebras-
ka. On the other hand the spring wheat
crop shows q high average, 97.S per zen,

the person of the young lawyer,
Miss Cora Benneson, graduate
of the Michigan University Law
school, and already admitted to prac
tice before the Supreme courts of
Illinois and Michigan. The applica-
ton for her admission was made by
Alfred Hemenway of Boston. the law
partner of ex-Gov. Long of Massachu
sets, a leading lawyer tate,
and stanch supporter of .len in
the profession. Miss Agnes Irwin,
dean of Radcliffe college, was much
interested in Miss Benneson success,
and, with other notable persons, was
present on the occasion of her admis-
sion. Miss Benneson was the only
woman in her class in the university,
and she speaks with positive enthu-
siasm of the kindness and courtesy
with which she was treated by all her
fellow students. -Harper's Bazaar.
