FISH THAT TALK.

1t Is freely admitted that fish that ut
ter sounds are not rare to remarkable
extent. but to translate these sounds
into the English or any other language
and be able to appreciate the feelings
of the denlzens of the deep at various
thrilling stages of their uncertain ca
reers is beyond the ken of ordinary NOR
tails. We are told that n fisherman out
at sea landed strange fish in his boat
and that the finny captive Immediately
opened its mouth and began to grunt
and groan SO loudly rs to attract at
tention. The fisherman took it up and
was SO convinced that II was talking
and begging for liberty that he tossed It
back into the brine.

so well filled up men and women do not

determined weeks ahead to make
Saturdays and Sundays peculiarly
attractive. For the 2lst they set

ded to these special program of
horse races and fcats by the noted

IA fine musical program was ar
ranged, the service band to begin
in the forenoon and to he relieved
by the concert band in the after
noon and evening. Those orga.
nizatiOns are both of a high order

and on a grand scale were also
added to the program. There
was never a moment that some.

estimates placed the crowd at a
much higher figure than fifteen

We could have carried the coun-
try i'll 1896 had not this pernicious
fad been injected into the canvass.
We will, with all orr advantages of
position and principles, be unable
to carry it in 1900 if this fad is
again injected into the campaign.
Let Mr.. Bryan take these things
tn heart. He is o brilliant man,
and not i'll two hundred years has
any man in any country had the
opportunity he now has to save the
free institutions of his country from
ruin and to make himself the idol of
his people, to herald him astbe sec
ond father of a Republic. But Ire
must not be obstinate, though he
should be firm. Henry Clay wreck
ed the Wig party by raltering in a
double sense with the Texas ques-
ton; and Stephen A. Douglas, an
immeasurably ADLER man than Mr..
Bryan, lost his own nomination hy
the Baltimore convention, split the
Democratic party, caused the e,ec-
tion of Abraham Lincoln, that
brought on tbe great war between
the States, and all this wreck and
ruin because Mr.. Douglas, with an
obstinate and unyielding persistcn-
cy, refused to abandon the doctrine
Of squatter sovereignty. Thus,
Mr.. BryanwiIl see that one great
man wrecked his party by weakness
and theother destroyed his by OBJ
stnacy.
Let Mr. Bryan, then, accept the

Worked by Mary, Queen of Scots
While Awaiting 1fer Doom
at tile Block.

There has recently come to light
an apron--probably the most cy-
quisite example of necdlework cx-
tant-that busted the fingers of
the hapless Mary, Queen Of Scots,
during her long Imprisonment, and
served to divert her mind from her
impending doom at the block. The
fallen soverign-all hope gone
centered her interest upon it during
the latter part Of her confinement,
and created the masterpiece of
needlework. Just before her exc
cution she secreted her prize apron
under the lining Of one of her
robes which kept her treasure safe
until recently the garment was
ripped apart. Its history since has
been fully authenticated through
letters written by the Jill-starretl
Queen to a friendly ambassador at
Paris who smuggled the materials
out Of which it was wrought into
her dungeon. By strange chance
the apron came into possession of
an American, who has refused $780,
600 for it, and has also declined
$4,000 for the privilege of unrayel-
ing a single stitch to learn its secret,
which is a mystery to all tho ex-
perts. It's owner has consented,
however, to its reproduction in
