The Habit Among Authors of Diagnosing
the Real Name.


Almost every writer at the beginning of
his career knows a trepidation and tilnid-
ity that make him glad TO hide behind
sobriquet, or, as the French usually call
them, MONS do guerre Ii might be
thought that these are chosen haphazard.
Though this may be SO I'm some cases, it 10
usually otherwise AS much thought Is
often expended In their construction as
was ever devoted to the title of book.
Some adopt nom dc plume because Of
innate modesty; others through moral
fear of the public and critics. Yet larger
class find "a satisfaction in writing over q
name more suggestive, 1t may be, or TO
mantle than the original family name.
Sometimes the style and kind of work
done by an author suggests or decides the
pseudonym, while in the great majority Of
cases simply that Of a euphonious or fanci-
full name Ia desired.
The simplest form-and these constitute
goodly number-consists of the initials
of the authors real name, such as l.. +.
L. Uetitia Elizabeth Landon); q. A. s.
George Augustus Sala) and b. (the late
Lord Bramwell), or some transportation of
the real name, such as Dalmocand FUSED
by George Macdonald) and Draw, which
Is simply Ward written backward. As
another example might be mentioned the
famous prima donna Nine. Trebelli whose
real name was Gillebert her nom de the
atre being her surname spelled backward,
with the initial CO.. omitted
1t has been favorite fancy with authors
to assume fictitious names upon the In
itials of their own. Thus, Annie Bronte
wrote as Acton Bell Charlotte Bronte
as Currer Bell and Emily Bronte as Ell
lis Bell In all the wide field of liter
allure can three other such illustrious
names be found belonging to one family
1t is a scarcely known fact that Robert
Burns was a nom de plume, the Scotch
poets name being Robert Burmese, but 1t
has by right of usage become the family
name, as In the case of Sir Henry Irving
and Henry NJ. Stanley.
1t Is not unusual for lady writer's who
desire TO cultivate a masculine style Of
writing, and who feel that good mascu-
line name would carry conviction, to adopt
names of the opposite sex. Mrs Henry
Wood used TO write as Johnny Ludlow.
Mrs Cross immortalized herself az George
Eliot Nine. Dudevant, who was no mean
factor In the literary and social circles
of the last century, az George Sand and
Mrs Stannard, who delights the reading
world with bright military tales. as John

WOMAN'S BRYAN CLUB.
Decided to Display the Flag-The Con-
stitution Amended.

The Woman's Bryan club of Los An

meeting at the silver wigwam yesterday
afternoon, unanimously decided to dis
play the national flag on all occasions
until after the election.
The constitution was amended by in
serting the word "silver" in the name
of the club, as follows: Woman's Bry-
an Silver Club. Enthusiasm ran high
and a badge, consisting of the name of
the club in gold letters on white satin
ribbon, together with the national flag,
was adopted. Mrs. Mills will sell these
badges for ten cents apiece at the free
silver entertainment to be given at the
wigwam next Friday afternoon, in
which the Woman's Bryan Silver club
and the school children will take part
All are cordicliy invited regardless of
present political opinion or previous
party affiliations.
Several letters from prominent east
ern men were read, congratulating them
in their work for Bryan and silver and
assuring them they were heart and hand
with them in the work. McKinley's
prayer was made and, amid great ap-
plause, was placed on file.
A program committee was appointed
tao prepare for the hour which has been
given them in the grand silver rally
which will take place the Friday before

SILVER REPUBLICANS.
The Accession to Their Membership 1S0
In One Day.

The advent of the yellow fever, or, to
perhaps be more generous and say the
arrival of the yellow badges scattered
broadcast by our so o-called sound money
advocates, caused boom at the head
quarters Of the Silver Republican club
yesterday. The club roll yesterday
morning stood 273S and so great was the
number of signers that at the close of
the rooms last night the roll increased
to 1926, a net gain in one day of 1S6 men,
bers. The most pleasing thing to notice
of the increase was the many who called
and signed the roll, though a large num-
ber was received from outside precincts.
The rooms looked as though the whole
campaign centered at 318 West Second
street. The managers of the club had
printed yesterday beautiful badge sur
mounted by the American flag, which is
in striking contrast to the badges adopt
while not in principle advocating gold
alone, have selected yellow badge, in
dicative of their adherence to color
that represents gold. All members of
the club are requested to call and get
badge.
In addition to the lively appearance of
things at the dub rooms, Secretary
Cooper states that many satisfactory
returns have been received from var
ious parts of the county and the re-
turns coming in give the silver Repub-
licans every feeling of certainty that Los
Angeles county will give splendid ma
jority to the cause of silver.

The meeting at the Wigwam last night
of the Young Mems Silver League was

A resolution was sandwiched in among
the speeches which provoked loud burst
of laughter and was adopted by the

aimed at the yellow badges of the sound

streets yesterday, and it was right to
the point, as follows:
Whereas, From the display of "yel-
low flags" in town great many persons
may be led into the supposition that an
epidemic of yellow fever has struck this
fair city, and.
Whereas, We learn that the gentle
men responsible for this horrible hoax
is man in the pawnbroking business
and does rot know any better; and,
Whereas, 1t is imperative that the
fair name of Los Angeles be protected
from false impressions, and we are de-
sirous that the outside world should not
be deceived as to our city's health;
therefore be it
