Miss Banks has left the room, and
Mr.. Wrinkle is telling us Of what the
study of literature consists, etc. He is
about 80, l should imagine, tall, hand
some and grave. He looks as If he were
the hero of romance. With my eye
fixed upon him I carefully write in the
back of my notebook, 'Have you ever
seen Mr.. Wrinkle before?" and when he
is not looking pass it to Kathleen. She
reads it and gives me an expressive look
which may mean "Yes' or do not ask
me- or my heart is broken, Or
well, almost anything. AS say, 1T Is
expressive, but I do not know what it
expresses, and I can hardly wait until
the end of the lesson, when I intend to
wayiay Kathleen and demand an ex-

Hortense have the same little plan, Tor
when the bell rings for recess and we

inst, endorses heartily Mr.. Bry ans
position on several questions Of public
interest as expressed by him since his
resignation. 1t refers to his entering
the army and remaining until the treaty
OF peace was signed as an act OF patriot
lem, and thinks that on two important
questions he has taken a very roper
stand. One Of these is that it is improp-
er to keep the volunteers ia the field
after the treaty OF peace is made as they
were enlisted only for the war and that
II they are needed for the army OF occu-
patton they should be recruited for that
distinct purpose and those desirous OF
returning allowed to come home. An.
other suggestion by Col. Bryan is:
THAT the volunteers should not be
held in service in order that through
them pressure may be brought TO bear
~ favor of the bill for the increase Of
the regular army to 100000 men. arguing
that il the volunteers who desire to 90
home q only be released by the pass.
< OF that bill it is an improper in.
tiuence TO exert on congress and should
he condemned. But Mr.. Bryan does
not stop here. While declaring himself
opposed to the policy Of snnexing the
islands Of the Philippines to this country
he says 1t is the manifest duty OF the
senate to rstify the treaty Of peace made
1t Paris instead Of opposing it on the
ground that expansion is contrary I O the
true policy Of the Uuited States. He
holds that the faith OF this country is
pledged TO the ratification OF the treaty
made by the peace commissioners, and
that the solution OF other problems
should DO delayed until peace is firmly
established. His idea is that the re-
sponsibility Of temporary control OF the
Philippines cannot now be svolded, but
that the United States should shorten
the period OF such control az much as
possible and give the people Of the
islands their entire freedom. Mr..
Bryan is q democrat, but there arc hosts
OF republicans who believe with him on
these questions, and his advocacy Of
them shows that he can rise above mere
political considerations. Lack OF sym.

DAVIS MEETS A FROST.
Mckinley Official Drawing Salary
For Abusing Democrats.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 20.-Webster Da-
Wis. assistant secretary of the interior
addressed the first meeting of the po-
litical campaign in Michigan tonight
The meeting was arranged by the Off
GERS OF the state league of Republican
clubs. The audience was singulafly
small for the occasion, less than 500
persons being present.
AIR. Davis insisted, in answer to
Democratic criticism of the war bond
issue, that Il was made necessary be-
cause the Democrats left SO depleted
q treasury upon retiring from power.
As a result of fault finding about the
conduct Of the war he pointed to the
fact that in the unparalleled period of
113 days the army of a quarter of a mil
lion was raised and victory accom-
plished, and less than 1000 men out of
26S, eco last their lives.

have died had they remained at home,

litical capital to seek to besmirch the

PREHISTORIC PEARLS.
Curious Investigation Made By the
Government Fish Commission.

The United States fish commission
has been engaged recently In most
curious investigation respecting prehls-
toric pearls. Immense quantities or
these beautiful objects have been dis
covered during the last few years in
the ancient mounds erected by a for
gotten race in the Mississippi valley.
especially at certain points in Ohio,
and the evidence thus obtained proves
that some of the chiefs whose people
formerly inhabited that region did act
ually possess treasures in this form
which far exceeded in value those own
ed by the richest crowned heads today.
In fact, there are no collections of
Iearls in existence at the present time
that would compare at all with those
gathered by the aboriginal connoiS-
SeUrS referred to. In some of the
mounds pearls have been found, not by
hundreds or thousands, but by bushels

How such enormous stores Of them
were gathered is a problem not easily
solved. The pearls We're certainly OBJ

the ''unio," which is still found in great
abundance in many of the streams or
this country: but in these days the
shell-fish in question must have been
probable that the aborigines of the
Mississippi valley depended upon 1t to
a great extent for food. 1t may be i'm
agined that the pearls were secured in
cidentally, and that quantities OF them
were accumulated in the course of time.
No more beautiful pearls exist in ma
ture than those yielded by the unto,
and the collections described must have
been magnificent in deed in the period
of their glory. Apparently they did

death, has returned for the season TO
Montecatina, the Italian Carlsbad, and
is even more than ever the object of
much attention from the tourists, whom
he SO cordially hates.
Moody Currier, who died in New
Hampshire the other day, was an eX-

FIGHTING oVER SILVER.
Warm Contest For Control of Con-
necticut Convention.


Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 2O.-Arrange-
ments are practically complete for the
Democratic state convention The con-
vention promises to become the field of
a contest between the silver and anti
silver factions, the question of candi-
dates being subsidiary to that of cur
rency.
In several caucuses through the state,
the gold men have controlled, and dele
gates Of that sort have been sent to
the convention. The silver men will
contest. the right of such delegates to
lit. Already notices have been received
from eight or ten towns. from which
VIII come TWO sets of delegates. The
gold faction demands an utter elimina-
ton of national issues in faVcr of state
issues.
The only candidates who has been
prominently named for the office of
governor is Former United States
Treasurer Daniel N Morgan of Bridge
port.
The Democratic state committee met
this afternoon for the temporary roll
and organization of the convention.
The contest for seats were taken up.
In the Bristol contest, the gold delega-
ton won; in the Stamford case, the sill
Yer men were seated The committee
took a long time to consider the Green
banker, headed the gold delegation,
which was finally seated.
After the election of William Kenne-
dy of Naugatuck as the Temporary
chairman of the convention, Chairman
Alex Troup raised a point which occa-
stoned an animated debate, lasting for
over Two hours, and which finally re-
suited in the reputation by the COM
1littee Of the committees own cali for
the convention and opened wide the
doors for all Democrats of whatever
a15liationS, silver or gold or otherwise.
The chairman mentioned that portion
of the call that provided that all dele
gates to the convention must be chosen
by those electors who favor the reaf-
firmation of the Chicago platform, and
asked for instructions as to the tempo
rary organization Of the convention.
He was finally instructed that all Gre
dentials, regardless Of the action of the
committee today, should be sent to the
credentials committee. A resolution to
this effect was adopted by a vote of 13
to 3. Mr.. Troup announced at the close
of the meeting that the adoption of this
resolution amounted to a complete re
pudiation of the committees own call.
No further business was transacted,
but Craftsman Troup took occasion to
announce his retirement from the
craftsmanship and membership on the
the committee. Shortly before mid
night the committee adjourned sine die.
The delegates tonight are fighting
over the currency question, and the
convention tomorrow promises to be ex-
citing.

BATTLESHIPS' KITCHENS.
They Are Neat Little Affairs Presided

1t is difficult to associate a kitchen
and a cook with battleship, but every
one of the big fighting monsters with
its terrible guns and its turrets and
flags has its kitchen. It is called a
galley on board ship, and it is one
of the most important places on board
to both the officers and the men.
Nothing gives an American tar such a
relish for food as the smell of powder
and smoke
It has become quite fashion of late
to divide a battleship up as though it
were human, giving it brains and eyes.
a heart and lungs. but no prominence is
given to the galley or the man in the
galley, who is quite an important per-
sonage. The man in the galley is usuz

of the big ships has a Jap cook and a
staff of servants of the same nation
