When this performance was at an end
the states were called for the appoint

The report of the committee on rules
and order of business was taken up for

He spoke Of the transportation question as
standing side by side with the money question
and declared that both these great questions
would have TO be solved before they could get
back to prosperity. The Standard Oil trust he
declared, would not exist to-day II 1t was not

existence tomorrow the next democratic ma

party had raised an issue so universal so great,
so important, that 1t had split both the old
parties in two.
Now this convention had met to save that
issue, or to allow 1t to so down TO defeat He
had faith that this convention would not turn
itself into democratic annex or into repub-
hcan annex but would find way between
them that was true and right What should
this convention do? He was answered by one

Senator Butler spoke for an hour,
closing his speech at 3 p. IN. When
Senator Butler resumed his seat the
chairman directed the secretary to call
the roll Of states, to name the commit
tee on credentials. This was done
and the convention, at 215 p. IN. took
recess until p. m. to enable the
committee on credentials to report.
When the committee on credentials
assembled contests were reported from
Colorado, Illinois, Missouri and Wis
consin. 1t was decided to take up the
contests in alphabetical order and to
allow each side half an hour. The
Colorado contest was first heard. R. A.
Southworth and c. G. Hackstaff, who
nc >ontNsting, first stated their case.
Mr. SouJhworth said that he did not
contest the regularity of the conven-
tion which named Mr.. Patterson and
the others who hold regular creden-
tials. He claimed, however, that their
convention was populist in name only
and was really backed by democrats.
Thomas Patterson replied for the
regulars. He described the convention
which ramed the As delegates whose
seats are contested. He convinced the
committee of the regularity of his ap-
pointment and of the fact that he was
now a populist and not a democrat.
Mr.. Bently, of North Dakota, moved
that the regulars, headed by Mr.. Pat
terson, be seated. The motion was
carried by 81 ayes to IA nays
When the convention reassembled
some one had failed to make the nee
essary arrangements for turning on
the electric lights and the darkness of
the convention hall was simply made
visible by few tallow dips furnished
by the reporters and telegraph com
panies. Under such circumstances the
transaction of business was impossible
and the convention adjourned until 10
a. m. Thursday.

Canadian. Growing Temperate.

The recent inland revenue returns
showed for 1895 a considerable reduc-
ton on the consumption OF spirits and
malt in Canada, as compared with 1894.
rhe figures have been much commented
upon and in many cases looked upon
as favorable as denoting decrease in
intemperance. 1t is sincerely to be
hoped by all well-wishers of the coun-
Try that that was the cause of the de-
creased revenue. But was it? There
arc those who say that hard times had
as much to do with 1t as the inclination
to temperance principles and the bene-
llcial result therefrom. Be the one ar
gument antagonistic to the other or not,
one thing is certain and that is both
agencies were at work and reduced the
demand for liquor throughout the coun-
try.-Ottawa Free Press.

About Coins.

As viewed from numismatic stand
point, 1t Is the condition of a coin which
dxes its value. 1t is not the date or
age, except in less than thirty instances,
that is sought for at the big quoted
premiums. Pierced, plugged, badly
worn, scratched coins, or those on
which the dates are illegible, have no
particular value. A perfectly uncircu-
lated cent of 1899 would easily bring
800, whereas good cent of the same
coin can be purchased for $40. For
gold there is but limited numismatic
demand and the supply is greatly in
excess of that demand. The double
eagle of 1919 is worth about $500. All
gold dollars are at q premium and are
worth from s1.20 to $1.40 each. Those
dated 1863, 1864 and 1863 command
from 81. 80 to 81 each and 1875. S.. Most
numismatic transactions are III silver
coins. A dollar of 1904 is wcith $500;
a half dollar of 1897 brings $40 and Il
quarter of 1927 commands $40. The
dime OF 1904 is the most valuable, being
worth $40 and the half-dme of 1902
easily holds the record at $G3. A large
copper cent of 1899 would bring s25 and
Aalf-cent OF 1886 is in demand ut $50.

Napoleone, Re Di Roma.
Sacrificato.

Translated this runs, Napoleon, the
king of Rome, sacrificed" or rs the
past participle "sacrificato" has here
the force OF noun, the sense of that
word might be better interpreted "a
martyr"
Marie Louise, Il will be remembered,
was married to Napoleon after his di
sorce from Josephine. The ceremony
took place at Vienna on March II, 1910.
Almost exactly a twelvemonth after
ward, that is on March 20, 1911, the
empress gave birth to son, who was
baptized Napoleon and received the
title Of King of Rome.
It was the proudest day in the life of
the great emperor. He was at the
apogee OF his power. Europe lay at his
feet; France worshiped him; the birth
Of an heir settled the question of the
succession and apparently made him
the founder Of a new and mighty dy-
nasty OF kings. But have not the old
Grreks taught us that when vain man is
at the summit Of his fortune Nemesis is
already upon his track?
Fourteen months after the birth of
his son Napoleon declared war against
Russia and set out on that disastrous
campaign which was to prove the be-
ginning Of the end. Europe precipi-
tated itself upon him. He made feint
OF abdicating in favor OF his son, who
thence got the title of Napoleon ii. But
Immediately after that abdication his
wife fed with his son across the from
tier to Austria. Almost simultaneously
Napoleon reached Elba.
And now comes the gist of the claim
ants story. 1t is historical fact that
Marie Louise received a duchy in
Parma, Italy, where she lived with her
paramour the count of Neipperg. The
young king of Rome did not join her
till some years later. The claimant in
sisted that he never joined her, but that
an illegitimate son of Neipperg and
Louise, year or two younger, was sub
stituted for the true heir as soon as
he was old enough to make the decep-
tion possible. And the true heir, what
OF him. He was intrusted to monk
called Capelli, who superintended his
education and impressed upon his mind
the brilliant future that was in store for
him. But Capelli died. All the proofs
Of the boys parentage were destroyed.
He was relegated to obscurity and
finally forced to adopt the profession of
a cook. The false king of Rome was
brought up in luxury, was created duke
of Reichstadt in 1918 and died at Schon-
brunn in 1882.
