young Hungarian's pictures had merit in
them, bought one, took it to Paris, and
sent it to the Salon, where it was promi-
nentIy placed, and attracted a great deal
of attention.
''Nfunkacsy'' was not the painters real
surname, but one adopted from the name
of his birthplace-the town of Munkacss
in Hungary. His early life full of
hardship. In infancy he was left an or
phan, his father being one of the patriots
whose lives were sacrificed in the fierce
revolt of 1913. As a boy he was appren-
ticed to a furniture painter; and it was
only after much effort and many wander
ings that he gained his way to the higher
branches of the profession of the brush.
Even after he made his mark at the
Salon, his financial success was not great
His work, vigorous and mastery as 1t
was, did not possess the qualities that
win popularity: He was. called the Ra-
phaeI of the Blacks, from his somber
tones and gloomy subjects, and his pic
lures were universally admired, but sell
dom purchased. Fortunately, however,
he married a lady possessed of ample
wealth, and was then able to give full
play to his genius without thought of
sordid questions of ways and means

CHEERS FOR BRYAN
When He Mentioned His Adherence
to Free Coinage of Silver.

Port Huron, Mich, May Nearly
all the leaders of the Michigan Dem
ocracy and hundreds of the rank and
file are in Port Huron for the dual
purpose of seeing and hearing that
party's national standard bearer, Will
liam J. Bryan and of attending the state
convention which will meet at noon to-
day to select delegates to the national
convention. Another incident of the
gathering was the Seventh district con-
gressional convention, which unani-
mously nominated ex-Congressman
Justin R. Whiting as representative.
On account of the presence Of Mr..
Bryan, the congressional convention
was held in the city's large and hand
some auditorium. The colonel appeared
toward the close of the convention pro-
ceedings and received an enthusiastic
reception. Last night Mr.. Bryan ad-
dressed a crowd of 1000 in the same
hall.
he reiterated his belief in free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to l. Con-
cerning the Philippine issues, he said:
IF we abandon the theory of self
government in the Philippines We can
not long retain elf-gOVernment IN the
United States. If we send an army of
So O00 men to stife aspirations for lib
erty in the Orient, those soldiers when
they return home will surely have be-
come inpregnated with those ideas of
a citizen or a subject. I challenge any
one to cite any despot in all time upon
whom more autocratic power has been
conferred as a ruler than that conferred
upon the president by the Porto Rican
BILL
Mr.. Bryan warned the people against
being rnisled into the notion that the
president could rightly depart in gov
erning the new dependencies from the
plain provisions of the constitution
which he has sworn to uphold.

BRADLEY'S PLEA
On Behalf of Governor Taylor of
Kentucky.

washington, May 1.-The supreme
court resumed its hearing today IN the
Kentucky governorship case, w c.
Bradley, former governor of that state
being the only speaker. He appeared
for Governor Taylor, taking up first the
claim of the opposition that Taylor had
never possessed any title to the office
He contended that Taylor'S title was as
good as that Of any man who had ever
held the office. He argued that Taylors
title was complete; that he was not
only de jure governor. but de facto gov
ernor as well and that every step that
he had taken as governor was legal.
On the point of Jurisdiction, he con-
tended that the pending case is very
similar to that of Thayer VS.. Boyd
of Nebraska, in which jurisdiction had
been assumed. He met the argument of
Gov. Beckham's counsel that an Office
was not property, by quoting authorities
to the contrary. Arguing this point he
said that Office was a species of pro-
perty because it was a right of value
a privilege of citizenship of worth to
any man..
1t was one of the rights, or privileges
coming under the protection guaranteed
by the fourteenth amendment of the
constitution and therefore subject to re-
view by the highest federal court.
No state could disregard the proviS-
ions of this constitutional provision nor
could any state legislature assume to
be superior to it. nor is a state legisla-
luIS BOunU TO grant uue process OF law
but state courts must administer cases
under the same authority. In a case like
this governorship there was no such
thing as an appeal to the appeal. The
adjudication was necessary.
And why appeal?" Mr.. Bradley ask
ed
IF we appeal to the ballot" he con-
tinued, ''is it not easier now to defy the
expressed will of the people than it has
been even in this case. when there has
been such an open defiance of the ex
pressed desire of the electors of the

On Monday morning at about IL: Is
o'clock the stables of +. II. Hartman
and DIR. J. T. Butler we're destroyed by
fire. The loss Of the former amounted
to about 5000 and of the latter to near
s400. A fine Jersey COW and buggy
were consumed in the Hartman barn.
The fire companies did excellent
service, No. 3 of the ward where the
fire occurred, drawing first water and
No. 4, second, although it had to go six
blocks to reach the scene of action.
The quick arrival of all the companies
and their excellent work won praise
from the assembled crowd, whom the
changing firebells had called together,
through the intense heat of the day,
which was only increased by the raging
element that consumed the property
mentioned.
A small boy and matches furnished
theory as to the cause of the fire.
There was no insurance,
