quiet appearing little woman, with a re-
fined, sweet face, black hair, just becom-

sat just to the rear of the press seats,
with Nebraska friend. She was attired
in black cashmere. with trimmings of

very self-possessed. and when approached
just after the announcement of Mr.. Bry-

THE WORK OF THE CONVENTION
Time Was Not Lost, and strong
Words We're Uttered.

Convention Hall, Chicago. July O.
When the national democratic conven-
ton resumed its deliberations this morn
ing the gold advocates realized that de-
feat was to be their portion, but ii was
evident. from the attitude of the leaders,
hat their ship would go down with the
colors nailed to the mast. Senator White
faced multitude when he assembled the
rostrum but was so hoarsc that he could
scarcely speak above whisper. He
knew that his task for the day was one
which few men before him had attempt
ed, and his countenance expressed the
deepest care. The prayer was listened
to in respectful silence, broken only by
the pattering of many feet as belated
delegates came down the aisles and took
their places. Not one in that vast audi
ence doubted the success of the silver
forces in the battle to be waged but the
convention was scarcely prepared for the
eloquence, the contumely, the dramatic
scenes which engrossed attention for the
afternoon, and made the proceedings
memorable even in the checkered history
of the party of jefferson and Cleveland.
The administration, with its determined
band of supporters, had hosts of friends
in the galleries, and there were cheers

made by those who championed the cause

to the highest honor of the nation.

the day-what kind of money shall we

OF the thousands who crowded the gal

How st. Martin Rode the Devil.

Ono of the curious legends preserved in
"Hono's Every Day Book' is that which
tells the story of St. Martin IS wonderful feat
of transforming the devil into a mule and
then mounting him and riding to Rome.
This story, remarkable as it is, was for
1nerly one of the standard miracle tales in
all Catholic countries and was at one time
beloved by nine-tenths of the Christian
population of tho world. The story some
what modernizcd is as follows: St. Martin
had been valiant soldier, but having
given up the profession Of war was elected
bishop Of Tours
Although prelate of note ho kept
neither horses, carriages nor servants.
This being the case, when he was called to
see the pope, ho started for the Holy City
afoot and alone. AS he was walking quiet
ly along tho road he was met by the devil,
who politely accosted him with tho remark
that such foot journey must be very fa-
tiguing and rather out Of place for such a
church dignitary. St. Martin well knew
the drift of his satanic maiesty's remarks,
and, in. order to put him beyond the power
Of doing harm, miraculously transformed
the poor devil into very common looking
mule! After performing this miracle to
his satisfaction, the saint mounted the
fiend, who rapidly strobe off in the direc-
ton of Rome. Tho journey was rather un-
eventful, with the exception that the devil
took occasional "mulish" spells which
only caused the saint to make the sign of
the cross. which served to goad the fend
forward until the destination was finally
reachcd.-St. Louis Republic.

MlGRATIONS OF THE LEMMlNG.
A Norwegian Animal That Is Compelled
to Keep Moving.

to Keep Moving.
Professor Il. Collett Of Christiania, who
has long been engaged in making re-
searches into the habits and migrations OF
that interesting little rodent, the lemnling,
has published valuable monograph on Its
periodic wanderings in vast hortles down
tho Scandinavian valleys. The migrations,
which have long attracted tho attention OF
naturalsts, are explained by Professor
Collott as directly due to overproduction
In certain years, termed by the writer
"prolific years., - an abnormal fccundity Is
exhibited by the lemming, but the phonom-
enon is not confined to this species alone
being equally apparent in numerous ialn-
ilics OF mammals, birds and insects. Inc
consequences of this great multiplication
Of the lemming Is that tho enormous null
titudos rec lire increased space, ana the IN
dividuals, which under normal conditions,
have each an excessively large tract at their
disposal, cannot on account OF their dlsPo-
sition bear the llnaccustomed proximity of
their numerous neighpors. 1nvoluntarlly
the individuals arc pressed out to the sides
until the edge of the mountain is reached.
For :, short timo they enjoy themselves
there, and tho old individuals willingly
breed in the upper regions Of the. forests,
where in ordinary times they arc entirely
wanting. New swarms, however, follow
on. Tho journey proceeds onward by each
fresh accretion down the sides of the noun
tains until, when they reach the valleys,
they meet with localities which are quite
foreign to them. They then continue
| blindly on, endeavoring to find home
corresponding in conditions to that which
! they havo left, but which they never re-
gain. The migratory individuals proceed
hopelessly on to certain death.
Sooner or later all the wanderers are de-
! stroyed- thousands are drowned in rivers
or fords, thousands arc attacked by boasts
and birds of prey, thousands perish from
the effects Of cold and damp, but by far
tho largest number die from tho effects of
peculiar epidemic which seizes them as
soon as they reach the lowlands, but from
which they appear to enjoy entire immu-
nifty in their mountain forests. This wan
dering instinct developed during migra-
tory years is suggested by Professor Collett
as being of distinct service to the species
in reducing the surplus population.

Insect FIddlars and Drummcrs,

Insects that produce sounds audible to
human ears have been roughly divided
into two classes--fddlcrs and drummcls.
Tho grasshopper is n fiddler, and makes
music by scraping its fore wings against
the rows of spinelike teeth that ornament
its thighs. The katydid also plays an on-
tomological fiddle. 1t produces its notes
by rubbing the inner side of the hind legs
over the front wings.
The locust on the other hand, is q
drummer, and q loud one too. His drum
is formed by n membrane situated at the
base Of tho fore wing, and ho can mako q
forest ring with it, Tho cicada, or II year
locust, carries drum at the base Of the
abdomen, and makes with it u noise that
seems to be quite as terrifying in the in
sect world as that produced by the gorilla
pounding its rosounding chest is among
wild beasts. 1t is said that the cjcada
sometimes frightens away its enemies with
the rattle of its drum.
There arc other drumming insects who
make good music, but the vioinists, after
all, carry off tho palm for the great insect
soloist, tho cricket, is q fiddler. Youth s

R. G. Dun & Co.'s Report OF
Local Trade Conditions
BUSINESS IS IMPROVING
The Orange Shippers Report Somewhat
Liyel.er Market
Money Is Easier ana a General Feeling Pr.
walls That Business Is on the
Up Grade

r. W. Burnham, manager for r. G. Dun
& Co. furnishes the following review of To-
cal trade conditions:
There was an improvement in the trade
conditions the past week. Jobbcrs report
orders coming in more freely and the vol
urne of retail trade was heavier. Money is
easier. Collections still drag, but there is
d general feeling of confidence that busi-
ness is on the up grade.
The orange shippers report the market
improving, and are preparing for an active
movement from now ON, and indications
point to fair figures for good fruit.
In dried frlit tho market remains at a
standstill, although eastern wholesalers at
various points report that dried fruit stocks
are fairly well cleaned up, the demand
does not increase, which would show de-
cded falling off in consumption. Strictly
choice stock is still held here for full rates,
but shaded rates on other offerings.
Only one small failure for the week.

Carlyle and Thackeray were sitting in

Carlyle was haranguing on some philo-
