FOR A BIMETALLIsT PRESIDENT
The silver Forces Should Unite. Says
Hartman of Montana.

St. Louis, June 9.-Representative
Charles II. Hartman of Montana was
asked by a reporter Of the Associated
Press what he thought the action of the
delegation in regulating the plank of the
republican platform would have on the
coming campaign. He replied as follows:
IF all the bimetallist forces of the
country can be conferred upon one can
didate there will be no difficulty in my
judgment in having a bimetallist presi-
dent and bimetallist congress elected
this fall. The end and aim of ali the
supporters of bimetallism should be to
promote the nomination Of the strongest
candidate that can be obtained. 1t should
not be a question simply of individual
preference Of any citizen. but the promi-
nent question which every bmetallist in
all parts and all sections ought to ask
himself is: What will bring to that
ticket the greatest number of electoral
votesg
"lf the democracy at Chicago desires
to make the success of bimetallism a GER
tainty they will not hesitate to take a
step which will practically render GER
tain the reputation of the gold standard
ana reconciliation of silver by naming
Teller for president and some equally
splendid patriot of their own party for
vice president"

Queen Bess and her Sailors.

Queen Elizabeth personally liked her
sailors and their way Of life. She had all
woman's love of the adventurer. They
brought her money, fnery and aattery,
and she dearly loved all three. But they
suited not only her tastes, but her policy.
There was a mutual understanding be.
tween them. If, for reasons Of state, 1t
was necessary to disown their priVateering
feats, even when they were triumphantly
successful, they must reckon on her hard
words and black looks. If 1t was safe to
acknowledge them, they were rewarded
with open smiles and favors. Thoroughly
characteristic, for example, was her treat
ment Of Francis Drake when the ever
glorious Pelican came home, leaving q
wake behind her which went right round
the world. He had laughed at Spanish
protests, plundered Spanish treasure,
towns and ships, with the light hearted
audacity of the gentleman bandit, and
anchored at Plymouth with an Ell Dorado
In his hold and the shouts Of admiring
England in his ears.
Mendoza, the Spanish ambassador, furi.
ously demanded that the dragon" should
be forced to disgorge his plumber. But 1t
suited the queen to teach the Spaniard q
lesson-that If his master encouraged Irish
rebels she would encourage English priva-
teers. Drake was the lion Of her court.
She ostentatiously walked about with him
in the public gardens. The Pelican was
the scene Of royal banquet, and Gloriana
made rough Francis one of her Knights

walden, and the like. Their sound was
long q note of terror to the men Of Aus.
tria and Burgundy, and made q grand
rallying cry for the Swiss In action. But
apart from this, these horns appear to be
the origin of the bugle horns which still
appear on the appointments Of our light
infantry, and have displaced the drum as
the distinctive instrument Of the foot sol.
dier. Each company Of course had flag
of Its own, which on march or In action
was posted in the center under guard OF

times was called by the name OF the pan

guished by the small size Of their flags;
the landsknechts, on the contrary, to ac-
centuate the difference between themselves
and their hated rivals, carried enormous
ensigns, and made great play with them.

PLAYING For q Deaf Man.

A long and bitter struggle he had,
this Anton Rubinstein, before he secured
his fame and his fortune. He used to de-
light in showing his friends the portrait
of an old man who once bought all the
tickets that were sold for one OF his ju-
yenile recitals And he had even better
story than this. At Mini Novgorod,
Rhen he was only IS, he gave concert
which attracted an audience of only one.
Brilliantly the little fellow played for two
hours, but not the slightest applause was
Forthcoming. Then he stopped and ad-
dressed his audience politely. asking If his
playing did not deserve little encourage
ment. The dilettante leaned forward to
catch the words addressed to him, and the
young pianist was stupefed to find that
his only listener was as deaf as q post!
This singular person used to frequent the
concerts to conceal his infrmity.-Cham-

ROMANS LIKE SECRECY.
Do Not Want Strangers to See Thet
Household Arrangements.

Do Not Want Strangers to See Their
Household Arrangements.
1t seems to be part Of the real SIM
plicity Of the italian Latin to put on a
quite useless look Of mystery on all occa-
sions, and to assume the air OF conspir-
ator when buying cabbage, and more
than one great foreign writer has fallen
into the error of believing the Italian
character to be profoundly complicated.
One Is apt to forget that 1t needs much
deeper duplicity to maintain an appear
ance of frankness under trying oircum-
stances than to make q mystery OF ones
marketing and profound secret OF ones
cookery. There are few things which the
poor italian more dislikes than to be
watched when he is buying and preparing
his food, though he will ask any one to
share it with him when 1t Is ready, but he
Is almost as prone to hide everything else
that goes on inside his house unless he has
fair warning Of visit and full time to
prepare himself for it.
This is perhaps not entirely race pecul-
iarity, but rather survival Of medi@val
life as it was all over Europe. There are
pretty clear indications in our own litera-
ture that the ladies and gentlemen of two
or three hundred years ago did not like to
be caught unprepared by inquisitive visit
ors. The silks and satins in which they
are portrayed would not have lasted life
time, as they did, if they had been worn
every day. AS for the cleanliness Of those
times, the less said about 1t the better.
In Rome there was long period during
which not single aqueduct was In work
ing order, and it was trade to clear a sup
ply of water out of the Tiber from por-
tion Of the yellow mud by letting it settle
in reservoirs, and to sell 1t in the streets
for all household purposes. Who washed
In those days? 1t is safer to ask the ques-
tion now than it would have been then.
Probably those persons washed who were
the fortunate owners Of house we'll or a
rainwater cistern, and those who had
neither did not. Perhaps that was very
much the same all over Europe. 1t Is GER
tainly to the credit of Trastevere that 1t Ia
