Evidences Of Them Found In the Region
Made Merry BY Robin Hood.
The town Of Nottingham is 1874 miles
north Of London A part of the town il
on low lying ground close TO the river
Trent, where floods sometimes occur,
but the rest Of the town is built on a
series of red sandstone hills It is sit
uated on the southeastern fringe of the
great Derbyshire coal field, and the
historic forest Of Sherwood formerly
spread almost up TO the city walls
Now this forest has. IN great measure,
been cut down, and this has rednced the
rainfall, raised the temperature and
rendered the climate Of the town drier
and more bracing than it used to be.
The mean annual rainfall lie now 25
inches and the temperature ~ degrees.
As sandstone il soft and easily cut it is
only natural that the early jewellers in
caves, came and lived in holes dug in
the hills Of Nottingham, particularly
as the forest close at hand was, good
hunting ground where game could be
captured for food

these early and prehistoric inhabitants
are occasionally found. and the first
name known to have been given to the
place was Snotingaham. This in Celtic
means 1.-THE home among the rocks.
Afterward it became one Of the towns
of the kingdom of Mercia, and in the
ninth and tenth centuries was one of
the five chief northern strongholds Of
the Danes. Already what is now known
as the Castlehill was strongly forti-
fed position, and it was in his attempt
to capture this fortress that Alfred the
Great was signally defeated by the
Danes Two hundred years later. when
William the Conqueror in his turn sub
jugated the Saxons. he rebuilt the cas-
tie of Nottingham and placed it under
the command of his natural son. vii
liam Peverel.
But it was here also that Saxon re-
sistance continued for many long
year, for it was in the great forest hard
by that Robin Hood and his merry men
dwelt. These outlaws were Saxons who
were dissatisfied with the Norman rule
and preferred a life of brigandage to
submission. The holes dug in the rocks,
the passages made through the sand
stone mountains, enabled these bold for
esters to occasionally appear in the
town and close under the Norman bat

OF the treasury and of all other public
officials to execute in good faith the
policy declared by congress, and when
ever he shall be satisfied that the silver
dollar cannot be kept equal in purchas-
ing power with the gold dollar, when such
exchange is demanded, it will be his
duty to adopt that course. But if our
present policy is adhered to and the
change is kept within reasonable linn
its, the means heretofore employed for
the maintenance of the parity will doubt
less be found sufficient in the future
and our silver dollars and silver certi-

as would be the case If the parity was
destroyed by free coinage. Yours

THE QUESTION OF FUSION
Slowly Coming Round Into Thoroughly
Satisfactory Shape
The Southern States Generally VIII
Find the Silver Men Working To-
gether In Complete Harmony

WASHINGTON, Sept 15.-Leaders
of the different elements which are sup
porting Mr.. Bryan, including Senators
Jones of Arkansas. German and Faullt-
ner, Democrats; Teller and Dubois. Sill
Yer Republicans, and Butler, Populist,
and also Mr.. Johnson. the Democratic
national committeeman of Kansas,
have spent a busy day in conference
among themselves. Senators Jones and
devoted two hours to the question of
fusion on presidential and vice-pres-
Dental elctors.
In Kentucky and West Virginia, Sen.
ator Jones agreed that the demand of
the Populists for two electors in each
was reasonable, and he will recommend
that the proposition of the Populists to
fuse on this basis be accepted. He will
recommend also a somewhat more lib
eral concession in Tennessee.
There are three straight tickets in the
field in Florida, and as result of the
conference an effort will be made to
merge the Democratic and Populist tick
cts. There will be an attempt to get
the two parties together in Alabama,
Louisiana and Texas. In Texas there
is amove ment on foot looking to a fu-
sion between the Populists and Repub-
licans. Senator Buffers influence will
be used to prevent this With reference
to North Carolina. Senator Butter gave
the assurance that whether there was
fusion or not the electoral vote of the
state could be counted for Bryan.
The situation in Kansas received es-
pecial attention. Mr.. Butler is investi-
eating the situation in the hope of Sc
curing better terms for the Kansas Pop
ulists. Mr.. Johnson assured him, how
ever. that the leading members of the
Populist party are entirely satisfied
with the arrangement in that state. 1t
is understood that Senator Jones prom
ised to give attention to the situation
there and to use his good offices with the
Democrats to secure concessions for the
Populists on the electoral ticket.
There was considerable discussion of
the situation in Idaho bearing upon
Senator Dubois reelection. 1t was
generally agreed that the effort to reach
a harmonious understanding there
should be continued with the view of
permitting the senator to participate
freely in the canvass in other states.
