There do not appear to be any. or at
least many candidates present who are
calculating on locations on the state
ticket. The convention may have lot
of politics under the surface, but it has
not cropped ont. The delegates are
mostly young looking men-active and
with the undoubted qualities Of the rus
tier.
The Bismarck delegates fifty IN oil,
are here in evidence that Burleigh county
is still on the map. As one of the dele
gates. Col. Little, said, it does not look
az il Bismarck was dead or that BurlelRh
county was not in it. The result of the
Fargo convention only stirred the boys
on that point of the Missouri slope to
put their rustling clothes on.
The day opened pleasantly for the
league meeting and the morning trains
brought in q big additions to the dele
gates already here. The eastern portion
OF the state sent fine representation,

Many of the delegates from the country
districts were unable to come owing to
farm work, but sent their proxies by as
many delegates as could get away. The
headquarters Of the league were located
ct the corner room OF the Gladstone

the occasion with flags and colored
streamers. The convention itself is
held IN the opera house.

A dispatch from Grafton dated May l
says: The silver republicans are becom-

that unless the St. Louis convention

However, these gentlemen foresaw the

DARING GIRL BULL KILLERS
SPAlN'S INTERESTING COLLECTION OF
HANDSOME YOUNG AMAzONS
Barcelona, Where the American Consulate
Was Attacked. Produces This Strange Kind
Of Femlnlnity-The Dezeneracy Of Bull
Fighting Came With Women

When the people Of Barcelona fred
the whole world with talk Of war be-
tween Spain and the United States by
mobbing the American consulate in
that city and dragging the Stars and
Stripes in the dust, they had just come
from bull fight. The ferocious sport
had excited their fiery natures to the
point of frenzy, and they we're ready
for eny extravagant act to relieve their
surplus excitement. If there had been
no bull fight that day Spain might not
now be fitting up privateers to prey
upon our commerce., and spending
money which it can ill afford to use.
It was the bull fight which suddenly
brought on the crisis, otherwise the
national differences would have been
shuttled backward and forward in the
devious channels of diplomacy until
all the bitterness Of feeling had been
dissipated.
The Barcelona bull fight is quite diff
ferent from the same kind Of sport in
other Spanish cities, for it is there that
the woman bull fighter is born and
bred, and makes her Introductory kill
ing before an admiring audience. Some
of the aristocracy of the old regime de-
plore the existence of the woman bull
fighter, but the middle classes adore
her, and every year marks an increase
in the ranks of the feminine dabblers
in blood.
In the old days the bull fighter was
a gentleman of the bluest blood, who
rode into the ring on an Arabian
charger with almost his weight in gold.
1t was a great accomplishment in the
old days, and the young gentleman
who ranked as the cleverest bull
fighter Of his time was man of vast
social distinction. He was the pet Of
all the fine ladies of the land and the
envy of all the men. Kings, queens
end princes smiled upon him. He was
the idol of the people. He did not
fight in the manner Of today. He car
ried simple javelin four feet long, and
slew the bull unaided with his own
hands, at the same time putting his
spirited mount through series Of in
tricete evolutions to show off the PAGES
of the animal and his own horseman-
ship.
These we're brave days for the young
men of Spain. They were supplanted
by the bull fighters who entered the
arena for hire. These men at first took
more desperate chances than the others
and, moreover rode poor, broken down
The herald., 1896-03-29

gether. As bull fighters they are the
idols Of the people, the recipients Of
showers Of adulation, with fine clothes
and plenty Of money to spend. They
live under halo of happiness and
prosperity. No wonder it is the dream
by day and night of all the pretty dark
eyed girls slaving away in the mills
that they, too, will enter the arena some
day and kill bulls amid the wild en-.
thusiasm of the best people of the city.
1t ia almost needless to say that the
most popular of these Amszons are the
prettiest and the shapeliest. They
wear the same garb as the men bull
fighters, and they ride the horse
astride. If they rode with the side sad
die it would be a most dangerous pro-
cesding, for firm seat is essential to
safety of life and limb
In the ring at some little distance it
is quite impossible to distinguish the
sexes. The girls are quite as tall as
the men and almost as heavily built.
There is nothing feminine about them
either when the fight really begins.
They do not sicksn at the sight of
blood, but seem to gain ferocity by it,
and they are happy in a scene which
would cause the average American wo-
man to faint in short ORDER
THE UNFORTUNATE HORSES
The horses which the women ride
are the same broken down wrecks
which the men use. In fact, the man
agement finds that women are more
reckless In exposing the horses than
the sterner sex. This has led to q
practice which the society for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals would
kill off in no time in any city in this
country. 1t is this: When horse has
been horribly gored and staggers about
the ring with his entrails hanging out,
he is not killed to end his misery, but
is led into stall, where his entrails
are thrust back and the wound in the
stomach sewn up. Sometimes he lives
long enough to enter the ring the next
day. but he is usually 90 weak that the
bull makes short work Of him.
GAYLY CARRIED PICADORS
On the day set apart for the women
bull-hghters there are women only in
the ring. The picadors ride in on the
equine wrecks garbed In the costume
The herald., 1896-03-29

faction of the audience. If some poor
picador is laid low their delight is su-
preme. It the matador is hasty and
kills tho bull early in the fight without
giving the beast chance to gore some
one, the audience is angry. It has
been cheated of its share OF blood.
WOMEN AND DEGENERACY
The next step in the degeneracy Of
the bull ring, according to Spanish
authorities, came with the appearance
of the woman fighter. From the ranks
of the Barcelona mill hands, girls with
agile bodies, delicately curved phys
iques, handsome in face and form, come
the woman bull fighters. As mill hands
they are virtually slaves, earning only
enough to keep body and soul to-
The herald., 1896-03-29

Then the bull Ia driven In. This is
q critical moment. The experienced
ones in q moment can tell il the bull is
natural fighter or whether he is
peaceably inclined. II the former, they
know that they will get their moneys
worth in blood. II the latter, they have
their doubts. The best fighting bulls
are supplied by the dnke of Veragua,
the descendant of Christopher Colum-
bus, who visited this country during
the worlds fair. The dukes income
is supplied by this business.
FORCING THE FIGHT
II the bull is quiet and shows no dis
position to attack at once, the picadors
ride around him, prodding him where
they can with their long lances. The
chulos excite him by the flashing of
their gorgeous oolors. It is not in the
bull nature to stand this for any
length of time, and soon ne begins to
charge right and left. Horses are
bowled over and gored. When the bull
has been worked into q perfect frenzy
the matador prepares for her dainty
task.
To kill him at one blow is considered
bad form, although it is most difficult.
The popular mstadors stick him here
and there until he streams blood in a
score of places. When he is at his
widest the matador by few deft
steps works to his left side and
at the proper instant stands up
on her little toes to her full height,
and with q downward thrust of the
sword sinks it to the hilt Immediately
back of the shoulder blade. II the aim
be true, the sword blade cuts the heart
in two and the bull drops dead in his
tracks. This is considered great
feat, and the lucky matador who &C.
complishes it the first time is caught
in shower of jewels, coins and flowers
from all sides of the arena.
The cleverest women bullflghters in
Spain today are Providencia Almeda
and Maria Alvarado. They are great
rivals and each has an immense follow
ing of admirers.

During the evening an entertainment
was given By the younger members of the

rejecting much credit on the young
literati.
The costumes were very pretty and ap-
