Chinese lilies were the flowers used on the table. The fifth table was in old rose and carnations of that tint were maSsed on it. The sixth was in blue, and white hyacinths, tied with blue satin ribbon, stood in a fragrant bunch on this table. The seventh table was in red, with crim- son carnations as the flower. The eighth was in violet and was lovely With
 basket of these purple flowers that all through the winter whisper of the com ing of spring. The ninth table was in yellow, with a vase of gorgeous yellow roses in the center, with all the other de- tails of color. Each guest was presented with handsomely executed card in wa ter colors, on which was painted flower to correspond with one of the flowers on the table.

and effective. Untiring and dauntless In whatever she has set out to accom- plish, and accustomed to success, she yet has quaint saying that success, the fait aecompl should never be dandled as a prodigy for public inspection or private adulatlon, but simply as a stepping stone to higher and more progressive attain ment. Then her cultufe, her craft as a writer-as historian in the sense of a recounter of facts in the spirit of actors who make history-admirably equip her fer adequate descriptive writing of any people she may visit She is a novelist, and is, by the way, wonderfully attracted toward our southland as the promised land of romantic literary development
 A single work won her fame as trans lator. This was Flaubert's powerful story, "Salammbo." So highly esteemed was 1t that when the author died his family caused a copy of the translation to be placed in his tomb. There is in her remarkably composite capacity deal of the sentimental embroidering the prac- tical fibre of her nature. and she inn presses easily as a sensitive. sensible, broad-minded woman, catholic to ten derest consideration to ali living creat- ureS.

NEBRASKA POPULISTS.
No Arrangement for Fusion With
Democrats Has Been Decided
on Yet

Omaha, Aug. 5-A special to the Bee
from Hastings, Neb., says: The Pop
uIist state convention convened at ten
o'clock with LOO delegates present.
Much enthusiasm is manifested over
Bryan and free silver. All the ante
convention caucusing failed to bring an
arrangement among the delegates as to
fur3on and there has been no. general
agreement on a definite line of policy
and one-half the delegates went into
the convention without knowing what
the other part expected to do
The main question in controversy is
the extent of recognition that is to be
accorded the Democrats. G. J. Smythe
and c. H. Brown of Omaha, represent
ing the Democratic state central com
mittee arrived last night. Mr. Smythe
stated that nothing definite had been
determined on.

BEER CROWD WITH LEWELLING
A Sensational Scene in Which Breid-
enthaI Figures.

Abilene, Kan, Aug. 5-Chairman
John W. Breidenthal of the Populist
state central committee and r. S.
Groin, a representative of the Ferd
Helm brewery at Kansas City, had a
row in the Office of the Union Pacific
hotel yesterday afternoon. which at
tracted a crowd of several hundred
people and created a genuine sensation.
Breidenthal, as a partisan of w. I. .
Harris, was making a talk against the
circulation of ScandalOus story about
his man, when Crohn interrupted him
with a statement like this: 4 don't
think you have any reason to kick
about dishonOrable actions. You have
used your position as chairman of the
state committee in an effort to boost
Harris along and defeat LeWelling.'' -
As he spoke Groin turned pale and
Breidenthal grew red, showing that
they were both getting mad. A crowd
commenced to gather and Breidenthal
replied: The man who says I have
used my official position in the interest
of any candidate or against any candi-
date. is a, - lar."
By this time the room was full as
both men nave voices whlch can be
heard a great distance. Groin took
the lie, but clinched his fists and his
eyes flashed fire. Breidenthal cOntin-
ued: You, yourself, have acted dis
honorably in the circulation of malic
ious falsehOOds about Colonel Harris. -
I have simply acted as a friend of
Lewelling," Crohn said, and am
proud of what have done. I always
has been mine"
Then, with a knowing look, he added:
Two years ago, Mr.. Breidenthal.
you, too, were glad to claim me as a
friend"
I take that" answered Breidenthal,
''as an insinuation that I, or the COM
mittee L have the honor to represent,
received some benefits from you in the
campaign of 1894. I want it understood
now that neither the committee nor
myself ever received any benefits,
either directly or indirectly, from you,
or the Ferd Helm brewery, which you
represent The crowd cheered and
Crohn showed signs of weakening.
You gave me the name of a man
who would and did receive benefits
during the campaign of 1894" said
Groin.
You are a - liar" retorted Breid-
enthal, with great promptness. At
this the crowd broke into wild applause
The Populists of Kansas" Breiden-
thai continued, can get along without
dictation from any - liquor outfit in
Missouri
The crowd fairly howled with delight
at this. CrOhn subsided and soon dis
appeared in the stairway leading to his
room. Crohn's friends said tonight
that he took the lie which Breidenthal

MAKE A STRONG FIGHT.
Democrats at Hutchinson Insist on
Ten Democratic Electors.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 5-A special
to the Star from Hutchinson, Kan,
says:
The anomaly is presented here today
of a state convention of a great party
suspending operations for nearly "a
hours While every eye is turned
towards another big state convention
before which the fate of the Kansas
Democratic and POpulist parties in the
coming campaign hangs in the bal
ance.
The probable result of the joint con-
ference committee of the Democratic
and POpulist state conventions at Alb
ilene today is the one absorbing topic
of discussion among the Democrats
here. When the Democratic conference
committee boarded the train for Abi-
lene last night several hundred dele
gates were at the train to see them off
and on everyone's- lips were the words:
Don't sacrifice a single Democratic
eIector. Make it ten straight or moth
ing"
The prevailing sentiment here is now
cryStallized into a stubborn determina-
ton to bring the POpulists to terms on
the basis laid down at the beginning of
the fusion negotiations. There are some
however, who do not cherish Sanguine
hopes that the conference committee
will not back down if the POpulists
make a straight fight for division of
the electoral ticket. Many of the dele
gates have gone home during the re-

STRIKES PRETTY HIGH.
Labor Commissioner Bird Makes
Trouble About Eight Hours.

A warrant has been sworn out before
County Attorney Stafford for J, s.
Chick and w T. Little of Kansas City,
az president and general manager OF
the Kansas City Bank Gravel company
for violation of the eight hour law.
Mr.. Chick is president of a Kansas
City bank.
It is their company that has the
IS, 900 contract for furnishing and lay
ing the gravel on the state house
walks
In the state of Kansas there is q law
that an eight hour day shall be sufh-
cient on all state work.
Chick and LittIe's foreman has been
working his men ten hours. There is
also a state gang on the grounds that
works only eight hours.
Some little time ago complaint was
made to Labor Commissioner Bird Of
this arrangement by labOring men Of
Topeka who are unemployed and want
work Of some kind and Mr. Bird agreed
withs them that a chance should be
given for ten men to make a living on
the state house walks instead of only
eight.
Consequently he made complaint and
had the warrant issued.
Chick and Little are Kansas City
men, They are wealthy and influential.
They claim, it is understood, that the
men of whom complaint is made are
working for them and not for the state
and hence do not come within the
meaning Of the eight hour law.
It will be made a test case

WILL BE A BIG ONE.
The Mckinley Ratification in Topeka
on August 12.

The Republican clubs of the city are
making very elaborate arrangements
for the demonstration on the night of
the 18th. Senator John NJ. ThurstOn
of Nebraska will speak Immediately
after the parade. Captain H. NJ. Phil
lips, who has been appointed chief mar
shall of the parade, says that some is
organized clubs have already reported
to him that they will be in line. The
citizens of the various wards are asked
by the chief marshal, to organize for
this occasion and turn out and swell
the parade.
The place of formation, and position
in line of the various organizations and
ward imprOmptu clubs, will be an
nounced in a few days. One prominent
feature Of the parade will be the club
of hOrsemen being organized by George
S. Eagle, and all persons who have
mounts, are requested to report to him.
The bicycle parade promises to excel
anything ever produced in that line in
this city. The, county committee have
under consideration two or three places
for the erection of the speakers stand,
and hope to determine that matter in a
day or two. When the Republican
clubs of Topeka start to make demon
stration, they usually have a big one,
and they expect on this occasion to
outdo all former political demonstra-
tions. Vehicles will be requested to
keep off Kansas avenue during the pa
rade.

bitterness every hour Il has become
personal and all sorts of sOiled linen has
been thrown into the wash. A most
vicious and scandalOus story was cir
culated this afternoon that a daughter
of Colonel Harris first wife had made
affidavit that her mother died of a
broken heart on account of the colonel S
conduct with other women. Colonel
Harris friends, speaking for him, de
nounce the story as a. malicious lie, and
delegates generally join in the denucia-
tion.
Lewelling has authorized a statement
that the story did not emanate from
his headquarters. Nobody believes
that LeweIling would cOuntenance such
methods, but the opinion prevails that
some of his friends are responsible for
the report. The old tale about the
damage suit brought against Harris by
a Lawrence hotel clerk for alternating
his wife's affections also has been re-
hashed. 1t is believed that these sto-
ries already have made votes for Har-

Abilene. Aug. 5.-The convention hall
is a large corrugated iron warehouse,
the main room is 12O by so feet 1t has
been fixed up for the occasion by being
covered inside with building paper and
a ceiling of the same material has also
been put in. The ceiling overcomes
some of the heat that is radiated from
the roof. However, no hotter place on
earth can be imagined on a warm day
than the hall. The seats are wooden
benches that have been made and
placed on a sand floor. The floor was
thoroughly wet down last night and is
cool and free from dust.
The seats are arranged in a semi
circle around the platform and the del

bunting around the walls and on the
wall back of the platform in the center
is an American eagle perched above a
picture of Bryan, and on one side of
the picture under a placard bearing the
word mo" is a gilded cross and on the
other side under a similar placard is
a large crown of thrOns. Other pic
lures of Bryan are on the walls, also

GOV. ANTHONY DYING.
Now Lying in an Unconscious State
and Must Soon Expire.

Ex-Governor George T. Anthony is
dying at DR.. Sheldon's hospital on
Eighth street. Early this morning he
Iapsed into unconsciousness, and the
attending physician says that his death
may be expected within the next TWEEN
ty-four hours. Mrs. Anthony is with
her husband. and his son, who went to
ST. Louis a few days ago. has been
telegraphed for and will arrive this
afternoon.
Ex-Governor Anthony has. been con-
fined to his bed for the past thirteen
weeks. During the Second congressional
district convention he was chairman of
the committee on credentials and COM
pleteIy exhausted himself with the ard
uous duties of this position.
For the purpose of taking a rest he
left Lawrence for his farm in POtta-
watomie county and while changing
cars at Valley Falls, was drenched in
a heavy rain. This brought on cold
and consequent pneumonia, and he was
taken seriously i'll and removed to his
home in Ottawa. Since that time he
has been confined to his bed.
Three weeks ago he was brought to
Topeka to be under the care of DR..
Sheldon, and was placed in the doc
tors private hospital on East Eighth
street. Although at times much more
comfortable since removing to this
city there has been but little improve
ment. The recent hot weather appar-
emily affected him to a great extent,
and during the past few days he has
been sinking rapidly. Yesterday he
told DIR. Sheldon that he realized there
was no hope, and that he was ready
to die.
At present Governor Anthony occu-
pies the position of state insurance
commissioner.
