tied. and settled by the rehabilitation
| of silver as a money"
The convention was further adj
dressed in succession by ex-Gov.
Prince Of New Mexico; Senator Till
man, of South Carolina; Gov. Adams, OF
Colorado. and Senator Butler, of North
Carolina. AT the close of the latter's
remarks the convention took recess
until evening.
| EVENING SESSION.
Congressman Bankhead, of Alabama,
presided at the evening session. He
| introduced Gen. A. j. Warner. of Ohio,
| who declared that any man who says
| that silver was demonetized with the
full knowledge of the people of the
United States simply lies.
"You can disentomb all the traitors
whose lives are written in history and
| all can give better reason for their
| traitorous ends than can the senator
| from Ohio give for his action on the
financial question"
He insisted that the silver question
| was the most important one before the
public, and that free coinage must be
carried, whether within party lines or
party. He said that he had no doubt
that Sherman and Cleveland would
vote the same ticket next year.
VIM. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, the next
speaker, in the course of his remarks,
said:
''Populists will not envy you repub-
licans when you follow the famous
motto of your martyred president,
Government of the people, for the peo-
pie and by the people, and win vic
tories for truth.
''They will not envy you democrats
any victories won for trnth, if you fol-
low the rules laid down by jefferson
and Jackson. Republicans and demo-
Gratis will not envy you populists, who
are made up of the two mother parties.
and honor alike Lincoln, jefferson and
Jackson, if you win victories for truth"
Most of Mr.. Bryan's speech was de-
voted to answering Mr.. Carlisle's re-
cent Memphis speech.
State Senator Arson Walcott, of In
diana, was the last speaker of the
evening.
The following national committee
was appointed to call national con-
vention, in its discretion.

COrOnetS.

English noblemen are the only ones in
Europe who ever wear coronets on their
heads, and the sole occasion when they do
so is at the coronation of the sovereign.
They hold them in their hands through the
ceremony, and at the moment when the
archbishop of Canterbury places the crown
upon the monarch's head every peer and
peeress present dOns his or her cOronet.
Inasmuch as nearly half of the house Of
lords is composed of peers created by Queen
Victoria, it is probable that none of them
has taken the trouble to provide himself
with the silver coronets lined with Grim
son velvet of their rank, and were the
queen to die and the Prince Of Wales to
ascend the throne there would doubtless
be a run ON the court silversmiths for bau-
bles of this character. The barons' coro-
net worn By the poet, Lord Byron, at the
coronation of George ", and which was
manufactured for the occasion, is now in
this country and in the possession of the
proprietor of the Philadelphia Ledger,
who has converted it into a chatting dish
for the humble vegetable known as the
potato, having removed the velvet cap
from the inside and turned it upside down,
SO that the four silver balls constitute the
support of the chatting dish.-Vogue.

Earnings of Authors.

1t Is stated that for the serial rights of
"Treasure Island' r. IL. Stevenson receiv-
ed about 9120. Ten times that amount
would not purchase tale of equal length
from his pen today. For the serial rights
of "She" III. Rider Haggard got $500, and
a similar amount was paid to Hall Caine
for "The Deemster." For short stories
Rudyard Kipling is still first, though J.
M. Barrie is running him close, and it is
predicted will take the lead.
But the totals for both book and serial
rights received by novelists today are far
below the princely sums that were paid
to Scott, George Eliot, Dickens, Thacke-
ray, Reade and Wilkie Collins. For'Rom-
ola" George Eliot received 81, 900 and
might have had $4,000 more but for her
conscientious regard for art. AS there are
many versions of that famous transaction,
we may give the facts. This novelist
agreed to write story for The Cornhill,
for which she was to be paid 100000. 1t
was, however, to run through 16 numbers
instead of the usual H.
OF this arrangement she did not ap-
prove, and all the arguments of her friends
could not overcome her objections. Final
ly she threw e3, 900 off the price to carry
her point, rare instance of self sacrifice
for the sake of art. Lord Beaconsfeld, it
should be mentioned, received princely
terms for 'Endymion.'
He wanted money" writes Mr.. Froude

How lola Writes.

lola is a slow writer and seems to have
difficulty in the mere mechanical operation
of penmanship. Four pages, not line
more or less, day after day without inter
ruption for years and years, line upon line,
this has been the secret of literary pro-
duction which has not it's equal among
living writer's.
Immense preparation had been necessa-
ry for the "Faute de IAbbe Mouret I"
Mountains of notebooks were heaped up
on his table, and for months lola was
plunged in the study of religious works
All the mystical part of the book, and no.
tably the passages have reference to the
cultus of Mary, was taken from the works
of the Spanish Jesuits.
The Limitation of Jesus Christi was
largely drawn upon, many passages being
copied almost word for word into the nov
el-much as in "Clarissa Harlowe" that
other great realist, Richardson, copied
whole passages from the Psalms. The
description of life in a grand seminary
was given him by priest who had been
dismissed from ecclesiastical service. The

Egyptian Weather.

AS topic of conversation the weather is
branded with infamy in Egypt. 1t is never
nentioned-except by fool. 1 am not
saying this maliciously, for I was that
fool often enough. More than once on be-
ing introduced to Europeans would pass
the usual compliments and add, "What
charming day it isp' got more than one
whitening look of contempt for this species
of Grass forgetfulness. Why, the sun shines
like bail of fire for eight months each
year, and there is practically no variation
in the weather. In my diary read the
following entries: Beautiful morning."
Beautiful morning again." "Another
beautiful morning." "Oh, bother, they are
all beautiful mornings here, so l must
take it for granted. "-AlexandriH Core
