MARYLAND CONVENTION.
 Senator G orman Ran It-Mr. Stuart's Brave Fight For Silver.

Baltimore, June 10.-The democratic state convention was called to order shortly after noon in the Ford opera house by Hattersly W. Talbott chair man of the state central committee. He said only a few words before the intro- duction of Hon. Arthur P. German as temporary chairman. The senator, who had entered the hall almost unobserved and taken a seat with the Harford coun- ty delegation, was escorted to the stand amid volley of cheers and other demon strations of favor. MT. German again started the applause by saying that he felt at home among democrats. He in- weighed against Mckinley and his pro lection ideas, urged democrats to har- monize their differences and concluded his short address with the statement that the convention should select dele gates to the national convention with the view of keeping the financial standing of the country at high standard. This sentiment was understood to be in favor of the sound money men, and they ap- pfauded it, while the white metal men looked disgusted.
 The silver men offered a resolution with a view of having an open discus sion of all resolutions presented to the convention before they should be re- ferred to committee, but it was voted down by their opponents, who favored everything going to the committee on resolutions without discussion Commit tees on credentials and resolutions were appointed and the convention took re- cess for half an hour.
 After recess the committee on creden- tials and permanent organization report ed no contests, and recommended the se- lection of Senator German as perma- nent chairman. The report was unani- mously adopted. The senator, in thank ing the convention for the honor, said the party would have a hard contest in carrying the state next fall, but that he would give his best energies to the organ- ization of the democratic party of Mary land so well that the state would here after be found in the democratic column.
 The chairman of the committee on res o1utions reported in favor of tariff re- form as enunciated in the Chicago plat form of 1892, and indorsed President Cleveland. In relation to the financial question the report favored the gold standard and opposed the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. The reading of the majority report was greeted with cheers and misses upon its conclusion.
 MT. Stuart of Talbott county was rec ognized and read the minority report, signed by five members of the resolutions committee, in which they gave express sion to financial views directly opposed to what MT Stuart termed the goldbugs, and demanded the free coinage of silver. The minority report was offered as substitute for the financial plank of the majority report MT. Stuart making a long argument in favor thereof. While he was very entertaining and literally applauded, MT. Stuart was not convinc- ing, and the minority, report was rejected.

been mach talk of possible fusion in North Carolina of the populist party with either the republican or democratic par ties. Senator Buffers paper here, which is the populist organ, settles this matter today by saying that tlR populsts will cooperate this year with neither of the old parties, and that before they would enter the democratic party they would go bodily into the republican party and aid the latter in securing the state. This makes three state tickets sure.

 Diamond Dust.
 Yesterdays victories made the visitors record thirteen out of fifteen games away from home.
 If Birmingham had a catcher, short stop and right fielder some hopes for the future might be had. Rourke is a failure in the right field, Beechers errors are too cogfly and Rappold's arm gives out on hifa at critical periods. The fans and rooters hooted the three players above mentioned yesterday and were partly right in so doing. Rappold is good catcher, but Fuller being laid up gives him no chance to rest and the strain Is too severe.
 Atlanta comes today and 1t is to be from them.

At Montgomery.

Montgomery, June 10.-Montgomery turned the tables on Atlanta this after noon with vengeance. Sechrist went into the box for Atlanta, but was pound- ed so heavily that he was replaced by Walker in the first half of the fourth in- ming. Walker did not fare a great deal better than Sechrist. The visitors should have been shut out, the only run they got being a present. In the fourth Knowles hit safe; Wood hit a short grounder to Peoples, who threw high to Mangan in an effort to make double play and both runners were safe. Calla- han hit to German, who made @ neat double, retiring Knowles and Callahan, leaving Wood on second. Kellum then made a wild pitch and Wood scored the only run for Atlanta. The fielding was sharp on both sides, but the Montgomery men had their batting clothes on and pounded out victory. The feature of the game was Peoples home run on a hit down the right foul line, which Gif ford ran over trying to catch and when he turned to pick the ball up 1t was lost in the weeds, and while he was hunting for 1t Peoples came home. Score:

Columbus, June 10.-The- beginning of today's game was a regular slugging match, but Williamson soon succeeded in checking Mobiles heavy hitters. The locals had no difficulty in finding Wit trock, getting total of twelve hits off ehim Both sides punched their hits in the first inning. The visitors never crosse ed the plate after the first, however. The Mobilians kept up continuous wrangle with the umpire. Paynter was fined and put out of the game for slack talk. Score:

OW many different kinds OF birds do
- you suppose one would find in the
vicinity or Chattanooga during three
weeks? Bradford Torrey, in his
Bird Notes from Tennessee" says
ninety-three. This is only a convincing
argument of how little is wrested from
nature by the superficial observer. 1t is
no more apparent in reading through his
delightful pages than to the untutored eye
until at the very end he brings you face to
face with the tabulated fact. There Is such
refreshmcnt in sapient naturalist's nar-
rative. Especially to the dwcller in cities,
who sips from the fount of nature only
through the reeds of other mems obserya-
ton, hear her voice only through their
trumpets, or see her beauties only afar
through another's glass; hot asphalt is the
only meadow turf that springs to his heel
pressure, brick fronts the precpitOus wall
ing OF his labarynth OF urban glens, and
gutter brooks the only simile suggesting
rivulets and cool. Ornithologist Torrcy
leads the reader gently through woods
and up mountain side and to river hanks,
noting the songsters who are natures
voice, but he embellishes with such skill
fulness that, possessing the value of a
treatise, 1t has also a charm of discussive
chat tempered with philosophic observa-
ton. THIS is the fifth book published by
the Riverside Press from the notebooks Of
Mr.. Torrey.

who wrote it and the familiar locale
of the tale, aside from its pretty
interesting story, is Molle Elliot
seawell slatest, IA Strange, Sad Comedy"
published by the Century Company. 1t is
In tone and temperament Just about
what would ease an afternoon under the
orchard trees or swinging in the hammock
81 the side of the house. The title applies
10 all stories, which, as this one, concern
the intimate history Of the Virginian
eristocracy at the close Of the war. 1t
was indeed Il comedy the proud gentle
me n and women pla yed at. strange and sad.
The principal theme of the narrative is how
ingenious Lefty Corbin went from her
dingy and ancestral and unSophistiCated
home life at Corbin Hill. Va, armed, or
rather girded, with mo less than five
Swiss muslin frocks, all tucked and he
ruffled within an inch of her life, also a
lace parasol and one that belonged to her
mother. and several lace flounces and n set
of pearls TO make conquest Of Newport.
The early skirmish is failure. but she Will
soon make her unaffected simplicity and
honest originality tell in the woman's
battle with ''tolerably fair copies Of young
ladies met in London drI wing rComs," and
She is not long alone when once ba ok To
Corbin Hall; nor did the particular captive
leave until the conquest was sealed. The
writer has drawn a graphic picture of the
conflict of ideals and pre- judiCes inevitably
TO be observed when English people of the
upper class are brought in contact with
recently-enriched New Workers and i'm
poyerished Southerners.

The fourteen volumes preceding the latest
present choice offerings from the pens of
such writers Of fiction as Justin Mccarthy,
Anna katherine Green. Clinton Ross and
W. II. Mallock. The last addition to the
Hudson is THE Broken Ring" by Eliza
beth Knight Tompkins. 1t is a love tale,
tinged with militarism and romantic CO.
ercion, reciting how the beautiful princess
of the Kingdom of Herzogthum was travel
ing incognito near the frontier, when III
her caprice she commanded her coachman
to cross the line and cut across the pic-
turesque forest hills OF Konigreich-a most
unfortunate caprice, as the two Kingdoms
were at war, AMI she was captured forth
with and led away by Il young captain
whose keen memory served him in pene-
trating her incognito. Passing over the
many interesting details as circuitous as
the mountain paths. we may disclose what
any Romantic imagination would conceive
that the captain married the princess
BIT the captain turned out as noble in
blood as he proved in love, for he was the
rigiltful heir to the Konigreich throne, and
the union of the rival houses by the royal
lovers Drought a permanent peace to the
subjects of both as well as to the beroas
themselves.
