AS TO CORN PoNE.
a Subject on which There Is n La
mentabIe Amount of Ignorance.
Baltimore News

A question propounded by a reader of the
News as to what constitutes real corn pone
has revealed the fact that a great many
people are interested in this subject and
are willing to spare time from the Porto
Rican tariff and the South African war to
consider it. While opinions are varied as
to the correct way of making pone, all are
agreed upon the main point-that pone is a
very good thing to eat.
Several of our correspondents even go so
far as to say that the kin their wives and
mothers make is fit to "set before a king"
Some medical authorities have sought to
cast an onus on corn bread by declaring
that it is too heating for the system and
not conducive 10 good digestion. These
gentlemen may not, perhaps, have tasted
any of the corn pone a la Maryland, Vir-
ginia or North Carolina. Baked after the
methods in vogue in the old South. it
would no doubt cause them to modify their
views. In western Maryland ii is even
considered a mark of craftsmanship to
nave been raised on corn bres j, and po-
litical candidates up that way have been
known to go in the field as winners on the
strength of their claims as corn-cake can
didates.
Whether made with white meal or yellow.
with milk and eggs or without, there is a
good deal in a piece of hot pone, with
plenty of fresh country butter melted down
smack the lips. and, Nike Oliver Twist, ask
for more.
Much light is thrown upon the difference
between pone as il is known I'm the South
and corn bread as ii is baked in the North.
The question is one which We suppose must
be finally decided by individual taste.
Enough has been learned. however, TO con-
vince even the most skeptical that good
pone is q good thing, and there are still a
number of enthusiastic partisans of 1t as a
form of food TO keep alive the traditions
of its excellence and value for some time

Boom for ~Dougherty.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BLUFFTON, Ind, July "A dispatch to
this city this afternoon states that the
Kansas City Times had launched a vice
presidential boom for the Hon. Hugh
Dougherty, of Button. 1t is said that he
has many pledges of support from dele
gates outside of Indiana. Mr.. Dougherty
is president of the Studebaker Bank. of
this city. He was a strong Bryan man in
1896, and is held in high esteem in the
Democratic party of Indiana. Mr.. Dough-
erty is a delegate at large, and it is said
that the proposition to Richard Croker to
form an offensive and defensive alliance
between New York and Indiana originated
with Dougherty. Bluffton is willing to take
on vice presidential airs and will rejoice
to see her townsman nominated.

H. L. Chapman was placed in nomination
as a member OF the committee on resolu-

gate from northeastern Ohio asked Mr..

speech In which he declared that imperial

Pupils of Liszt.
Table Talk.

AS I write an old musician comes into

out on q walk. AS a boy of nine he took
a few lessons OF Chopin, shortly before
the masters death: and later he spent
five years with Liszt. There are many
Americans walking Up and down the land
who call themselves LISTS pupils. Actual
~, l believe, there were just fourteen. One
pretty cure test is the players endurance.
Genuine Liszt pupils were accustomed to
something like twelve hours a day prac-
tice, which accounts for the fact that the
List pupil can play almost endlessly. He
did not take money from his pupils: alb
horred the mention of business. and turned
all necessary financial transactions over TO
a secretary. The pupil took a lesson only
about once In six weeks; then II was likely
TO begin at 2 o'clock and last until II.

been prominently mentioned as a vice pres
idential possibility himself Several times
during the last two days Mr.. Harrison
has received strong assurance of support,
and has been told that he could be nomi-
mated If he would say he would accept. He
has steadily refused, and tonight placed
himself entirely out and brought forward
the name of Mr.. Stevenson at the same
time. 1t was thought for a time that there
would be a contest over several of the
committee appointments in Illinois, but all
OF the fighting was done before the dele
cation came together, and the caucus was
as smooth as ice. There was strong oppO-
sition TO Harrison, as a member of the
committee on resolutions, but before the
caucus convened his opponents conceded
that he had twenty-six votes. and that was
more than enough TO place him on the COM
mittee. No opposition was shown to his
selection in the caucus proper. The atti-
tude of the Illinois convention was adopted,
and IL was declared the sense of the meet
ing that the State Endorsed the Chicago
platform, 'in spirit and in letter" The
Illinois men say that they have assur-
