Kansas City, Mo, July 5.-(Spl)-
The wires into the Bryan residence
have been kept hot all night and Bry-

constant interruption. Members of the
resolution committee were In constant
communication with him. Richard
Metcalf, secretary of the committee,
and Bryan's closest friend, placed on
the committee because of his familiar

talk with Mr.. Bryan over tho ,ele-
phone.
The fight over the silver plank of the
platform was Of course anticipat ted
by Mr.. Bryan aud his advisors, hut
the vigor of the opponent had been
unestimated. This feature causes Mr.,

A Famous London Tavern.

The Mermaid was the name of ia
nous London tavern frequented by
noted literary men and actors during
the reign of Queen Elizabeth. All the
wit and talent Of the time assembled
there for convivial enjoyment. Au-
thors have made 1t the scene of great
mind combats between such men as
Shakespeare. Ben Jonson. Beaumont,
Fletcher Selden, Carew, Donne and
others of reverential memory. 1t was
the gathering place of the celebrated
Mermaid club, the origin of which is
ascribed to Sir Walter Raleigh. The
Mermaid tavern was located in Bread
street and was handily reached from
three thoroughfares, so that it has been
often referred to in various ways. The
Mermaid In Bread street, the Mermaid
in Friday street and the Mermaid in
Cheap street were, however, all one
and the same. 1t was the nearest to
Bread street The Mermaid was de-
stroyed in the great London fire. There
were other Mermaid taverns, one in
Cheapside and another in Cornhill, but
they had no such associations as clung
to that of Bread street.
