how long he expects to be en- route.
1t is known that Mr.. Bryan is Row
preparing his speech of acceptance
of the nomination He expects to
lay, in his New York speech, the
ground work for the campaign. and
it is believed that up to the date Of
its delivery no man will learn from
his lips just what he may be expect

nomination. Possibly he may rot
even then declare himself, but IT is
believed that be will then give some

was nothing given out from the
Bryan home to day for publication.
There has been something of de.
crease in the magnitude of Mr. Bry.
ans correspondence. Ever since his
return from Chicago the greater
portion of each day has been spent
at his desk debating responses to
letters and kilograms. A corps OF
five clerks and stenographers has
aided him, and it was only to-day
that they began to see their way te

RAIL RoOM BICYCLING.

London Mail: The all-conquering
bicycle has had many triumDhs, but
its latest conquest is its greatest.
1t has invaded the ball room, and
when Lord and Lady Brassey gave
their ball of the season at Government
house, Melbourne. some weeks ago, a
musical ride on bicycles was an i'm
portant item in the programme. 1t
was an adaptation of the musical ride
of the household brigade.
The ladies wore cycling costumes of
pale blouses, with dark blue ties and
dark blue skirts The dress of the
stockings, and in color harmonized
with the dresses of the ladies.
Some days before the ball a rehearsal
was held in a large suburban drill room
with peculiarly appropriate environ
ments, for a ball had been held the
night before. The floor was so highly
polished that French chalk had to be
used TO minimize that dread of all
cyclists, side-slipping. Both the figures
and the commands indicated blend of
the cavalry ride and the quadrille. AL
though one lady in particular came
down several times, she did it so deity
that there was barely an interruption
to the movement. Another lady in q
Holland costume, turning sharply too
near the wall, was unseated, but re-
mounted so quickly that only an ex-
pert cycIist could detect that the move
ment was not part of the rehearsal.
We have not yet heard how the real
ride went off, the mail not having
brought the account to hand.

SIR CHARLES DILNE AS A FINAN-
CHER.

Paris Letter to the St. James Ga
zette: An interesting fencing bout took
place last week between Sir Charles
Dixie and Colonel Desrues, a former
naval attache in London. Colonel Des-
rues in spite of his 81 years, is one of
the first blades in France, as well as
being president of one of the most i'm
portant fencing associations here; and
in spite of his weight he is astOnish-
ingly agile, while his gray hairs are in
finitely less numerous than the cOuDS
de bOutonS that he gives in a weeks
practice to swordsmen half his age, so
that Sir Charles Dixie had an antagon-
list worthy of his steel. The colonel is
possessed of terrific rapidity; his
bounds were panther-lilxe, and would
have been extremely dangerous on the
part of anyone not gifted with his eX-
traordinary vigor of forearm and sup
pleness of wrist. Sir Charles played
an extremely close game. 1t had been
agreed beforehand that he could, if he
liked, change his sword from one hand
to another. DO what you like"
laughed the colonel, Init me on the top
of the head if you please with your
sword-hilt. Everything shall be per-
mitted, but 1 warn you if you play any
tricks I shall most certainly touch
you" The first to be hit was Sir
Charles. TOUCHED" ne exclaimed. The
swords flashed again, the colonel's
wrist performed the most wonderful
feats. Suddenly Sir Charles changed
his sword TO the left hand Hal"
shouted the ancient French warrior.
Reused by the unexpected danger, he
charged on his antagonists sword lit
was lucky the weapons had no poinO.
'Touche!" they both cried. 1t was the
double hit. The colonel was hit in the
arm, Sir Charles in the right side. The
colonel walked back to his starting
point with graceful, almost a quad
rille-iike step. Sir Charles had had no
advantage yet. The assault began
again. This time Sir Charles showed
us another trick, an unexpected one. in
deed, that he holds in reserve Sud
denly he dropped almost to his knees.
his left hand touching the ground-a
disconcerting maneuver, which, with
swordsman less experienced than the
colonel, might lead to painful blow in
the groin. The colonel parted and feint-
ed with the rap:dity of lightning; he was
like an animated Catherine wheel.
"Touche au masque!" was Sir Charles
verdict on his own performance. So
the fight went on with varying fortune.
but with unvarying courtesy on both
sides. The last hit was given by Sir
Charles; he won it with that sudden
drop to the ground and the upward
thrust underneath his opponents guard
When the antagonists had shaken
hands and Sir Charles had gone. the
colonel admitted that he was indeed
un diticile-an awkward blade. Sir
Charles had not been the winner of the
assault; there was a difference of four
hits (ten to six) in the colonels favor.

The supremacy of the fox terrier is

OF these dogs were mongrels, and, be-

badly of no defined ownership, they
passed quickly in a wholesale way into

them, but at all our watering places,
and at our garrison towns, he white
terrier with the odd markings is still
in the ascendant.
On the other hand, here in town we
have the Irish and the Scotch. These
are as yet pretty pure; they keep rather
to themselves, after the manner of the
provincials, but in couple of years
mongrelism will assert itself, and Lon
don will be overrun. AS it IS, the hardy
little Aberdeen, with his; long body,
short legs and nondescript markings
of black and gray and mustard, holds
the street, and the Irish terrier loafs
about, social and easygoing.
They are both excellent in their own
way, but, for all that, one misses the
sharp, quick vitality of the fox terrier

PROFITABLE DESIGNING.
The Way One Woman with Artistic
TnIent Earns a Handsome Income.

Talent Earns a handsome lHcOHle.
Miss Ethel Belle Appel has proved that
she possesses such qualities as go to
make up a heroine, as well as a hero.
When a sophomore at college, the re-
verses of fortune, so common to a good
percentage of individuals, forced her to
leave her Alma Mater and start out TO
make career for herself.
Mss Appel left her home in Mead
Vile, Pa, and like Dick Wilmington of
old. made her way to the great me-
tropolis, not OF London, but of Philadel-
phid. Here she established her home in
what, without great exaggeration, might
have been termed garrett, and therein
planted the seeds of phenomenal sue
cess in the practical world of art. She
enrolled herself as student at the acad-
envy of Fine Arts, and ALSO at the SchooI
OF Design for Women, having always
had a penchant for art, and set herself
to labor night and day at her chosen
profession.
wrote inquiring if she could recommend
anyone to do illustra ting for advertise
ments. and feeling that this was her OPP
portunity, Miss Appel siezed 1t and start
ed for Cleveland at once
She proved the right person and was
successful in all her undertakings, COM
bining illustrated newspaper work with
her regular occupation. She remained
two years and then turned her face TO-
wards New York.
Al first came the usual d;scoura gementS
attendant on all youthful fortune seek,
ers She began the same work she had
left off in Cleveland, but that being on
an unsatisfactory plane, she determined
TO try her hand at a book cover design.
After that fortune smiled and orders
came in thick and fast She is now do
ir- book covers for all the best pub
l.sning houses in New York and living
in the greatest comfort
Mss Appel asserts that this new pur-
suit for women is one that requires tact
and practical common sense, as well as
little knowledge of business principles
My branch needs practical original
ity," she declares. MANY designs Of
fered on the market are good, and have
artistic merit, but they cannot be easily
applied to the die, or stamp cut in brass
from which the covers are printed. Some
publishers require a, design to mt book
title; others only want noticeable cover
that will attract attention. l have to
hold myself to the front and meet all
demands"
This young worker keeps in touch with
the binders as well as the publishers, and
goes about continually examining the new
cloths and noting the latest novelties
along all lines.
This branch of art is a very lucrative
one For instance, a wall paper pattern
generally takes a week to do and then
brings from s25 to $50: while some book
covers can be designed in two hours, and
rarely take more tnan three or four days
and bring the same prices as the wall
paper or silk designs.
