.POpULISTS' CONVENTION
Their Endorsement Of Bryan'S Candidacy
for the Presidency Doubtful
MAY PUT TELLER IN THE FIELD
And Then Agree to Divide the
Electoral Tickets.

st. Louis, Mo-, July II. IL. X.
Taylor OF Paducah, Ky. member OF
the Populist National Committee is
here to engage quarters for the Ken
tucky delegation and 800 visitors to
the National Convention. When ques-
toned as to the Kentucky Populists'
choice for President he said
can't say further than they did
want Teller and hoped that the Chicago
convention would nominate him they
could have indorsed him. +
'sWill the Populists indorse Bryan
when they meet here next weekf" he
was asked. 80"
"They may, but I doubt 1t, because
we have got to maintain our party
organization. We may nominate Teller
and then agree to divide our electoral
tickets on the basis that the strongest
man win after the general result Ia
known. This Is feasible and, after all,
1t looks as If it would be but the in
dorsement of Bryan, for he would most
likely be the beneficiary"
The following announcement has
been given out: s

Maretas tells Us that during his traY- els over Europe he met the marvel of maryels at Padua The marvel in question was young Corsiean, who was in the city for the purpose of pUr- suing his studies at the university Ma retus, having heard that the young man was gifted with all extraordinary mem ory, desired to put the student to the test.
 The person who had informed the traveller concerning the wonderful re- tentiveness of the young Corsiea1's memory declared that he was so gifted in that faculty that he could repeat as many as 36, GOO words if read over to him but once. Marcus and three distin- guished Venetians agreed to test the &C., curaoy of the statement A committee visited the student of extraordinary memory and found him willing to su5- init to the ordeal. Accordingly there was read over to him an almost inter- minablo list of words strung together without any consecutive order aId without any meaning whatever
 The young man stood all the time with his attention deeply fixed and his eyes half closed. When the long string of words had been read off, he looked up oheerfully and repeated the whole of the uninteresting catalogue of words without 9 single fault Then, to show how carefully his wonderful memory had retained every word, be went through the list backward When that task was finished, he took each alter nate word-frst, third, fifth, etc. and repeated them until the company was thoroughly convinced that they were in the presenc of the most wonderful prod igy of me,4ory that the world had ever produced.
