Washington, Sept. 19.-Negotiations
between the United States and Japan

to bargain over bis serial rights. His
Mysteries Of Paris" had just ap
peared and Sue was the man Of the
moment. To him went the editor Of
the Constitutional, then one Of the
leading French papers, for the pur
pose Of securing the rights as q serial
Of whatever new work be had In

II shall want $4,000 for it." replied
Sue, payable today"

pay 1t, and produced bis check book
Hold on" cried Sue, there Is one
condition. ! understand that you have
the smartest carriage and pair In
Paris. l stipulate that you shall send
them every day to my house to bring

odd one the editor agreed to 1t, and

ConvIcts Who Play Ball.

At this season Of the year every.
body thinks Of base ball. Even the
prisoners in the Massachusetts state
prison at Charlestown, Mass, have
arranged a championship contest,
which Is now being played out be.
tween eighteen teams drawn from the
various departments Of the prison,
Games will be played regularly by the
convicts until the contest ends In

The "lifers"I have a team Of their
own, and so have the choir and band.
The Colored prisoners boast Of what
they call an "all-star aggregation"
Tailors, carpenters, shoemakers,
cooks, weavers, harness makers and
other workers in the several depart
ments of the prison have each their
own special team.
There are several men in the prison
who were well-nown base ball players
before they went behind the bars.
They coach the others with the re-
suit that the convicts play a ball game
much above the average.

MIdwlntsr saIad From Japan.

One Of the products Of Japanese
farms which may become popular and
Its cultivation profitable among the
nations Of the west, is moyashi udo,
a remarkable salad plant, which Is
crisper than celery,possesses the com
bined flavor Of pineapple and young
lettuce, is devoid Of fibers and comes
into outdoor maturity in midwinter.
1t is predicted by American scientific
agriculturists who have been in Japan
and noted the flavor, popularity, and
growing habits Of the udo plant, that
1t Is destined to become as famous
and as important table dellcacy In
Europe and America as asparagus or
celery.
The udo plant has been grown In
the United States purely as rare or
namental, as 1t was not supposed to be
edible. Nov that 1t Is known to pos
sess a value which promises to give
IT an honorable place with asparagus
and similar dishes, its cultivation by
American truck farmers may prove
decidedly profitable. 1t Is to be re-
membered that what gives the udo
distinctive value Is that It natures in
the winter time. When served udo
salad is as white as snow, and lustrous
like silk.-Booklovers' Magazine.

ance of the newly arrived European
troops at Mukden, instead of being ev-
idence Of the complete Russian con-
tration there, as many persons hastl-

TO MEET IN COLISEUM.
Building Selected for Convention Hal.
Admirably Suited to Purpose.

st. Louis. Jan. l6.-The democratic
convention will be held IN the Colise-
UNI, built just after the republican con-
vention in 1896. The hall was made by
cutting off the northern end of the
building in which the annual EXPOSE
ton was held and putting in it's place
an oval covered structure that has a
floor practically clear from end to enc
The building cost S1S0,00O, and has
been in constant use for horse shows
and similar functions. 1t is 1S9 feet
wide, 31S feet long, 81 feet high, and
has a comfortable seating capacity Of
$4,000. The hall is covered with a sin
gle spar truss rOOf, supported by col
umns heal the sides. The acoustics
enable, an ordinary speaker to be heard
in all parts of the hall.
The convention will be the first held
in the Coliseum. The largest gathering
in it's history was in 1900, when Roose-
welt appeared there before 10000 per-
sons.
The Coliseum is particularly adapted
for the convention. The arena, with
it's seating capacity of between 5000
and 1000 persons, will furnish ample
room for the delegates n ~alternates.
It's boxes and lower balconies will be
reserved for spectators.
The convention will be the first DEM
ocratic convention in st. Louis since
the nomination of Grover Cleveland in
hSSS, when Thurman was named for
vice president.
