TEACHES CONVERSATION.
New School in New York Devoted to
 Odd Branch of Learning

New School ln New York Devoted to
 Odd Branch of Learning.
 New York has one establishment in which, among other things, they teach the art of conversation, says the Sun
 'How do you go about it?" was asked.
 ''We discover at the outset" was the reply, ''in what particular subject the pupil is interested-and there are few persons who are not interested in or who have not a latent talent for something-and develop him at first along that line By showing to him that he has talent we give him con- fdence in himself to begin with, and then by education and practice we give him facility.
 At the beginning we have the pu pil read some book bearing upon the subject in which he is particularly in- terested, whatever that may be. In a week, say, he comes back to report on the book, and we engage him in conversation about it, this being the first lesson.
 q seek his opinion concerning spe- cifc points in the book, and he begins in these talks to gain readiness of ex- pression. As we go on we give him other books or other subjects, and in the course of these earlier practice les sons we begin to teach him voice mod ulation and other refnements in the manner of speech.
 ''In due time the candidate is in troduced to our conversation class, which is composed of men, and of women, too, for we instruct here wom- en as well as men in this art, The women are taught by an instructor of their own sex.
 "The subjects for conversation in | lIIp CldSSGS, Where luG StluGIllS 1uCCl as in a social gathering, are selected sometimes by myself, more often by the students. By observation of the several students at these gatherings l am enabled to correct defects in bear ing and manner and speech and to make to them suggestions for their further improvement.
 "The subjects considered in the classes have, of course, a much wider range than those considered in the earlier instruction. In the classes we talk of the new books and of the mag azincs of the day and of current topics of importance and of popular interest; of the things that would most likely be the subjects of conversation many gathering,
 |These, to be sure, would not cover the whole field, which might, indeed, include all history and science and art, too much to teach in one short course; but what we do teach the pupil would at least enable him to acquit himself creditably in general conyer- sation."

A PET COON.
Relapses Into His Former Savage State
 on Tasting Wild Food.

"Speaking of pets, said a man from Arkansas. to New Orleans Times Democratma "reminds me of rath- CT singular experience 1 had in my boyhood days with a pet coon. l had picked the little fellow up one rainy day at the foot of CrowIey's Ridge, a few hundred yards from the St, Trans cis river, and it was nearly deadat the time. He would have died if l had allowed him to remain where l found him. He was very docile and in a short while he was a boon companion of the children in the house and he entered into all kinds of rollicking games with them, and was never hap pier than when he was snugly resting on the shoulder of one of his compan- ions. Naturally, we all became very much attached to him. One day we concluded to take the young coon down to the branch with Us on a sort of outing. It was a low, marshy sec tion of the pasture, with heavy mint beds and was the home of many craw- fishes. As the coon discovered mud chimney which stood above the craw- fish nest he seemed to know instinct lively what it was and he made dash for it. He demolished the chimney in short order, and showed his right arm down into the crawfsh nest. He yanked a crawfsh out in short order and devoured it. Aremarkable change took placein thepet. He became wild again and thoroughly violent. We could not touch him. He fought vi- ciously and growled all the while The taste of wild food seemed to have aaezed him. It brought back all the

The suave hunter is the newest bunco

country papers glibly and with dis

the farmer in his pig pen and pleads
for leave to hunt on his premises. In
return he offers a fiver. Only he wants
a receipt, for use in case he should be
questioned Therein lies the mischief.
He has a receipt ready, to which is
necessary only the farmers signature.
Given, away goes the hunter and his
quarry is the man who will buy the
paper, which he has meanwhile raised
to $50 and which is in fact nothing
more nor less than a note. Finding
a buyer he fees and later the farmer of

TO bevictim of McLean's
Strategy.
PLOT IS ON FOOT
To Keep CIeveland's Mayor
Out Of the Chair at DEM
ocratic State Con-
vention.

Columbus, O., June 23.-While John
+. Mclean pretends that he will make
no great effort to control the Demo-
cratic state convention the truth is
that he is determined to crush Mayor
johnson once and for all.
McLean's lieutenants are now going
about the state with one of the most
startling proposals ever made in Ohio
politics. They hint that there is DEM
ocratic precedent for unseating tenn
porary chairman even before he has
fred the opening gun, and suggest that
September 2 would be a good day on
which to follow the precedent.
They urge the Democratic doctrine
that any parliamentary body is sole
Judge of it's own functions, member
ship and officers, and that the will Of
the majority thereof is the law of the
whole. The dictum of a state central
committee is held to be insufficient to
force upon the convention temporary
chairman whose selection is opposed
by more than half the delegates, and
the remedy proposed is recourse to
summary measures in the case at hand.
+; If the anti-Johnsont element has a
good working majority in the con-
vention the mayor of Cleveland will be
kept busy clinging to the honor already
bestowed upon him, and will have no
spare time to waste upon an effort to
win the permanent craftsmanship.
Such is the burden of the song of the
Mclean men.
z 1t is recognized, however, that some
votes which will be opposed to John
son for the permanent chairmanship
cannot be counted upon as against him
for the temporary Office, because of the
radical departure involved in an effort
to deprive him of both. Here lies the
weakness of the sensational step pro-
posed by the mayors enemies.
Whatever may he the reception Of
their most entertaining suggestion, the
fight of the conservative men for the
permanent chairmanship will he press
ed with all vigor. Opposition to Nc
Leans man, Samuel E. Johnson, Of Gin
cinnati, has developed fast among the
anti-McLean foes of Johnson.
