One OF the most beautiful art books
that have appeared this season Is Co.'S
mo Monkhouses British Contempt
rary Artists" The book contains stud
les OF seven celebrated painters. which
originally appeared in Soribner's Maya
zine, the first having been published
about six years ago. Since the studies
were begun three Of the artists have
died-Leighton and Millais while the
articles about them were going through
the press, and Burne-Jones in June OF
last year. Watts, Orchardson Alma
Tadema and Poynter complete the
group Of artists. who, Mr. Monkhouse
thinks, are alike in one thing. however
much they may differ In personality.
and that is their subject is mankind.
Their works are full Of those human
elements which are the life of great art
of all time and of every kind. Too
much praise cannot be given to the
publishers for the books wealth Of IL
lustration. The most noted pictures OF
the artists-about lis in all-are re-
produced with legends telling where
they are at the present time.--British

First Cavalry win Go

Washington, July 6.-Although the war department officials will not admit it, it is practically settled that the First Regiment of Cavalry will be the next regiment sent to the Philippines for the relief of volun- teer troops. The regiment is now stationed in the west.
 The cavalry detachment at Fort Myer, Va. is also booked for an early departure for the Philippines. It comprises Troops B. c, H, and I of the Third Cavalry, to- gether with the regimental band. The other squadrons of this regiment already are in the Philippines. Other troops supposed to be destined for the Philippines for possible diversion into China are the home battalion of the Second Infantry at Fort Thomas and Columbus barracks; the home battalion of the Eight Infantry at Fort Sheridan, and the home battalion of the Eight Infantry at Fort Schilling, Minn. Their places will be supplied by the Cuban battalions of the regiments named, the excess being used as far as possible to supply garrisons in New York, Vermont and Georgia vacated by the prospective departure of the Fifteenth h. fantry for the Philippines.

 PREDICTIONS OF SUCCESS

Bryan and declaring his allegiance to the platform adopted by the convention, the consensus of opinion seemed to be that the nomination for the Vice-Presidency should not go to New York on account of the ap- parent factional divisions existing in that state.
 MT. Stevenson's name seemed to excite the enthusiasm of the convention to de- gree almost equal to that aroused by the mention of the name of MT. Bryan, and in my judgment after consultation with the members of the delegations from various portions of the country, the ticket we have nominated upon the platform that we have adopted will meet with success at the polls in November.
 1.-The satisfaction over the platform and the candidates is more complete and unani- mo''J than have ever seen it in an experi- ence of four National Conventions, and believe the delegates go to their homes im- bued with the idea that with earnest work and untiring effort the ticket that we have nominated will be elected in November and that once again the principles of Democ- racy will be exemplified and enforced and carried out in the government of our great Republic.
 Senator Hill seemed to be exceedingly gratified at the action of his Southern friends in their support of him for the Vice Presidency even after his positive declination of the position.

delegation and push through the aisle up to the platform. They saw him appeal to Grady to withdraw him, while Grady's an swer was apparent from the shaking of his head and his advance to the front of the platform to continue his nominating speech. When the demonstration had sub sided Grady continued his speech, present. ing Hill before the convention. But as he stepped from the platform the man who had ust been placed in nomination took his place.
 Hill Protested
 The Senator looked out sternly, even saw agely, on the shouting thousands. When he could be heard he made due acknowl- edgement of the honor done him, "but l cannot-must not-be the nominee of this convention" he declared with emphasis. He was frequently interrupted with en- thusiastic shouts of approval, but as he left the platform the delegates were firmly convinced from his words and manner that he was sincerely desirous of having his name withheld. It is probably this alone which prevented a nomination by acclama- tion then and there, for the convention seemed on the point of being carried off it's feet.
 It was soon apparent with Hill out that Stevenson was a strong favorite. State after State seconded his nomnation-Geor- gia, Indiana, Virginia, Iowa, Kentucky and Illinois. Some of the devoted friends of Hill still maintained their allegiance to him. and New Jersey, Louisiana and others seconded his nomination A number of favorite sons also were placed in nomina- tion Maryland brought forward Governor J. w. Smith; Washington named James Hamilton Lewis: North Carolina nominat- ed Colonel Julian Carr, and Ohio presented A. w. Patrick.
 It was after 2 o'clock when the seconding speeches, many of them wearisome, were completed and the balloting began. As the roll was about to be called MT Lewis ap- peared on the platform and withdrew from the contest.
 Intense Interest Shown
 The vote was followed with intense inter- est, for when Alabama announced three for Stevenson and 19 for Hill it looked as though there would be a close contest.
 But 1t was soon evident that Stevenson had strong following. At the conclusion of the call he had 559A, which, however. was not enough to nominate, the requisite two-thirds being 264 more. Hill had re- ceived 200 votes and Towne 891a. But be- fore the announcement of the result n strong lunged delegate from Tennessee stood on chair and announced: ''Tennes- see changes her "A votes from Hill to Stevenson" This started the tide irresisti- ply toward Stevenson. From every quarter of the hall came demands for recognition. Alabama changed to Stevenson; California did the same and North aCrolina changed from Carr to Stevenson. Even New York finally reluctantly announced its change from Hill to Stevenson. That ended it. Stevenson's nomination was assured. al- though for some time longer the various States continued to record their changes from Towne and other candidates to Stevenson. In the end the nomination was made unanimous. It's announcement was greeted with enthusiastic applause, and again State standards and banners were borne about the building in tribute to the nominee.
