Brouuht a Blush to Her Cheek.

There was story told of one of the worlds great vocalists singing as a young girl at private house. She was overwhelmed with praise. By and by, says the London News, she came and sat by an elderly lady, who congratu- lated her on the way she had sang, but ventured to offer one or two sugges- tions. The young singer treated the hints with scorn and afterward asked the hostess who "the old lady, was who had dared to give her suggestions. "Oh, that was Mime. Goldschmidt," re- piled the lady. "And who is Mime. Goldschmidt?" was the next impatient query. Well, she's better known as Jenny Lind." said the hostess. And then the singer blushed for shame at her disdainful reception of hints from the Swedish Nightingale"

 Secondly, you do not cause them to be well baked in good and strong pastye, as they ought to be, that they may endure the carriage the better.

PAGEANT IN OLD
 ENGLISH TOWN

Newmarket, England, July S.-Of all the pageants held in England this summer, that at Bury St. Edmunds, a small town near here, promises to be the most magnificent and interesting The inauguration of the great histor- ical event today brought large crowds of visitors from London and all other English cities. The demand for seats among the American residents of the metropolis has been greater than that ffor the Oxford pageant, hundreds of distinguished citizens of Uncle Sans land joining in the throng bound for Bury St. Edmunds. Many of these will be the guests of Lady Bateman, formerly Mrs. Knapp of New York, whose mother-in-laW owns an estate close to the ancient town and hard by the old ruins of the Bury monas- tery, where stood the tree against which King Edmund was slain with arrows by the Danes in the year S70. This famous tree was blown to the ground recently and the remains are now the property of Lady Bateman, and will be shown at the pageant. Many arrow heads similar to those which caused the death of the sainted king are imbedded in the trunk.
 The great pageant will be conducted strictly along democratic lines, trades people and laborers being allowed to participate on an equal footing wittl the gentry. Louis N. Parker, the dis tinguished dramatist who is in charge of the spectacle, has given notice that any attempt on the part of "old fami- lies" to monopolize the event will be met with a prompt rebuff. The wife of a manufacturer, snubbed by fine : ladies, was made queen at the War wick pageant by MT. Parker, who di- rected the aristocrats in the play to lay wreaths at the feet of the manu- facturer's wife. They were naturally furious, but were forced to go through it.
 Bury St. Edmunds has in the past failed to attract the attention to which its extraordinarily majestic ruins and interesting history entitle it. Some of the most important events in the his tory of the Anglo-Saxon race have chad the quaint Suffolk town as stage setting. It was there the barOns took , their VOWS of fealty before laying the foundation of liberty in England and later in America by compelling John t, sign the Magma Charta. It was there, also, that Richard Occur de Lion 4rayed before setting out on his cru sAde to the Holy Land.
 5 Two thousand actors will take part in presenting the seven episodes of the pageant during the week. The K Last includes 200 peers and peeresses and many others of gentle birth. A chorus of clergymen, representing monks, will chant melodies especial ly written and composed for the oc- casion. The costumes to be worn by the actors in the medieval drama, in- cluding suits of armor and beautiful gow-s, are all true to the time they represent, having been designed from paintings furnished by Docre Adams, the great English artist.

DISTRESSING CONFESSIONS

Agitation still continues as to the
advisability of naming a Southern
man for the next Democratic presi-
Dental candidate, but our observa-
tion leads to the sorrowful conclu-
sion that sentiment in the South is
too hopelessly divided on the propo-
sition as to give any hope that such
action will be taken. We see some
prominent Southern newspapers urg-
ing and advocating this course and
we see Others clinging closer than
ever to Mr.. Bryan. aud urging their
readers to abandOn all hope of seeing
a Southern man named, rs the Ne
braskan is our only available candi-
date. More the pity. That the Demo
cratic party should have come to
that pass whereit has only one avail
able candidate is a humiliating con-
fession and it is especially discourag-
ing to be told that the South. which
was wont to furnish great leaders
and great statesmen, is unable 70
supply one man capable OF coming
up to the requirements of a presi-
DENTAL candidate. OF course this
isn't true, and there are men in these
Southern States who would measure
mp to the standard in every particu-
lar, but it is distressing all the same
to be told so. and particularly when
our informants are Southern news
papers. II Mr.. Bryan is the only
Democrat who will fill the bill, then.
God save the mark. the Democratic
party is drifting to its end. May
haps some time. when wearied out
with defeat, the party will find that
the South is not SO barren after all.
