An Artists Uncomfortable Experience At
= Royal Banquet In Korea
Tie rigid etiquette which prevails in
Korea as to ceremonious banQuets is in
convenient for strangers, whose un-
trained appetites are scarcely up to the
Korean standard An artist, making q
stay in Seoul, was hidden to royal
feast at the kings palace, to his mingled
joy and despair. Ignorant CT native Gus
toms, he appealed to Mr.. g., the Eng
lisil consul, to guide him through the
ordeal The one thing impressed upon
him was this: 1T is a great insult to re-
fuse what IS offered you at table and a
greater Insult not to eat all that is On
your plate"
We all sat down gayly, and the feast
began. All the products Of the country
seemed to have been cooked and put be-
fore me, including meats, fish, honey,
sweets, vegetables and sauces, Of which,
mind you, we had to eat mountains
piled On our plates. Young pigs, in the
puppy state, We're also there and were
much appreciated by my princely enter
tanners.
When I was but half way through,
however, not being provided with an
ever expanding digestive apparatus, like
my friends of Chosen, really felt as if
were suffocating.
raised my eyes pleadingly to Mr.. g. ,
but he shook his head sternly. The serv-
ants, seeing me hesitate, piled me bus
lily with potatoes, barley, millet and at
least half bushel of beans.
After vainly praying for courage and
6exterity to slide the food under the
table 1 made desperate inroads upon the
heapcd up vegetables. Once again
rolled my eyes i'll dumb entreaty toward
the consul, who once again shook his
head, this time with a sardonic grin
which made mcl,eterrline to get through
the feast somehow, but in silence.
After this was treated to lily bulbs
and radishes dipped in the vilest Of
sauces, besides q Large portion of Il pup
py pig roasted and fruit in profusion,
with foreign and native wines. At
length, when I felt that with the next
mouthful should groan aloud, the end
was reached That unhappy meal began
ct noon and was brought to close at
Up. m.
To those who appreciate the pleasure
Of eating, let me recommend royal
Korean dinner. No pen can describe the
agonics endured as Twas carried home
in my green sedan chair. For days
scarcely ate q mouthful, and to this day
the sight Of puppy pig is rmbearable.

1t was referred to the committee on rcso-
lutions An invitation to appoint dele.
gates to tho free coinage convention at
Memphis was tabled Congressman Evans
was made permanent chairman and SAM
uel j. Roberts. editor of the Kentucky
Leader, secretary. 1t was ascertained
that the committee on resolutions was
having difficulty on the free silver plank.
Colonel Bradley and other leaders ap.
peared before the committee and insisted
on compromise silver plank. The con-
veDtion remained In session to $3.50, filling
in with speeches, when 1t took recess till
$3.50, awaiting the report on resolutions.
On reassembling speech.making was
INDUCED in until tho platform was ready.
1t was read and adopted, ana then w. o.
Bradley was nominated for governor by

ly lie poured out u philippe on the ma
tional and state administratio ns, and his
speech was punctuated all through with
applause.
The substance OF the platform adopted

American industry and against the Will
son bill, which is charged with the bust
ness depression; opposition to the state
bank system and denunciation Of the
Cleveland foreign policy. On silver the
platform says: 1--WE are opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver, be.
lleving that Is would involve the coun-
try in financial ruin. We believe in q
sound currency and in the use of both
gold and silver for coinage, provided al
, was that a dollar in one Is made as valua-
bic as dollar in the other.

Tho Nebraska Statesman Applauded from
start to Finish.
When it was announced that ex-R ,prc-
sentative Bryan would address the con-
vention there was roar Of approval, and
his appearance WIS the signal for tremen-
dous applause. Bryan suited the crowd.
His speech was facetious and cutting,
and occasioned almost continuous up
plausc, delegates throwing their hats in
the air. Ho complimented Chicago for
having Us citizen such a man as Judge
Mcconnell, who would march ut the
head of tho Democratic party with
double shield. lie said that this was tho
most Democratic audience he had seen in
long time. No party is lit TO be factor
in politics which has not an opinion on
every PUBLIC question.
There was q time when Cleveland had
to face the question OF turning either to
the plutocracy or Democracy, land had
he been Jackson OF a jefferson he would
have turned to the common people and
there would be no need of your conven-
ton here today to repudiate his Repub-
lican principles. II he had not faltered
the Democracy would have continued in
power for years to come. There is no
compromise between recommendation and
bimetallsm. 1t has to be either one or
the other No man who is in favor OF the
gold standard can talk bimetallism and
DO honest II the double standard is right,
then monometallism Is crime against
society. Applause, and n voics heard
saying ''Hit them again. Advocates OF
bimetallism are the only advocates OF
sound money. The sound currency gold
bugs tell US about caused US to issue
bonds to mako IL sound. The sound
money theory has had to be bolstered up
by syndicate of English bankers. You
had Just as we'll have an English general
as the head Of your army, an English ad-
miral at the head Of your navy, as an
English banker at the head Of the treas.
ury department"
When Bryan concluded Governor Alt
geld was called upon. He spoke at some
length saying In part: 1T Is an irre'
vocable principle that when you increase
tho volume OF money in the world you in
crease the selling price Of the products In
the world. [Applause.] On the contrary,
1t is also the principle that when you re-
duce the money OF the world. then In.
stantly the selling price OF commodities
and products has togo down. What fol-
lowed iris arbitrary act OF 1873. Fixed
charges were left; mortgages were not
reduced: interest was no: reduced: taxes
were not rc1uced. consequently our great
produssag classes found that when they
had paid their liked charges they had
nothing left.
Merchants could not sell. Railroads
had little to carry. Manufacturers had to
'shut down. What followed Laoorers

are never any roll calls in the senate,
unless some senator demands the pres
ence of quorum. Senator Blair talked
ten days against time, in order to give
his friends opportunity to return to
Washington and vote for his bill.
Every day when Blair arose the other
senators would depart, and Blair would
talk for three or four hours to an
empty senate, and to empty galleries.
Vice President pro tempore Ingalls,
would sit alone with folded arms dur
ing this senatorial debate" and the
shorthand reporters made stenographic
reports of the speech. After it was all
over and the bill was defeated, other
debates were in order, and a number
of senators began to talk. One day,
while Senator Sanders, of Montana,
was speaking, ''call of the senate"
was ordered upon the request of Sena-
tor Davis, of Minnesota. Thereupon
Senator Blair arose, and, with great
dignity, said:
81 want to call the attention of the
senate, and of the country, to the fact
that during the long and interesting
debate on the Blair educational bill, it
was never necessary to have a call Of
the senate in order to have full at
tendance of the senate, and crowds in
the galleries.
Everybody present laughed. But
that remark Is on the official record, to
make future historians believe that in
terested crowds listened to Senator
Blair for ten long days, when, as a
matter of fact, nobody was present ex-
cept Senator ingalls, and the official re-
porters.

one OF nlaIr.s yankee storles.

On that occasion, during his long
speech, to illustrate the acumen of OBJ
scure men, Senator Blair read from a
New England newspaper, as part of
his speech. the following story: @
Deacon Cole came into the town of
New Hampton, n. H., one evening,
and driving up to the store at which
he always traded, in front of which
there were half dozen loungers, he
inquired if anyone had seen his wife
Polly that day. No one had, and he
disappeared about nine o'clock in the
forenoon, and he had not seen her since.
''Do you figure that she has skipped
outp" asked one of the crowd.
Hardly. Polly's fifty-seven, you
know, and as homely as toadstool."

served another citizen. "She might
have gone off to the nayburs in a huff"

The facts were given him, and he
turned on the deacon with:

hurry home and get her out!"
The deacon drove away at q rafting
pace, while the crowd laughed Of his

any Eews of his wife. and he replied:
"Oh, yes, Polly was In the we'll all

but she got all over 1t after being dried
