It is tasted, but never swallowed. After five or six samples have been examined the jurors will rest a few minutes, then eat a bit of cheese and biscuit, after which they rinse their mouths with mineral water and proceed as be fore. This is kept up from nine in the morning until noon. Persons who can thus refrain from real indulgence in the wine cup presented in this tanta lizing manner are examples of absti nence which ought to inspire admira tion for tho race. It is not everyone, observes the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, who can thus tread near the danger and step back from the brink. With a man's nose in the cup that inebrates he is generally a goner. It is as good as settled when he gets so far as to lay his hands upon the wicker door. The exhilarating effect of suffering a stream of some 50 or 100 different kinds of wine to pass between one's lips, even if refused admittance at the inner portal, must be considerable; and a layer of cheese, a layer of bus pUit, and a layer of mineral water con tinijed for three hours, it would seeia would be a distressing ordeal. Aftei the'"bouquet" of the cheese, what be comes of the "bouquet" of the wine? There are cheeses that make one quite oblivious of every other thing set on the- table before one. We should have no confidence at all in the judgment of a jury after the sixteenth round of thsese. On the whole, our respect for these wine jurors will reach about the same plane that some other jurors have been held in cases where they have decided guilt or innocence bj shaking dice. The family was examining with great appreciation Tom's first attempts at The Art of Cor. Photography. The exhibit comprised root Pot'tiMiue. .. , the usual assort ment of amateur's blunders, including an especially large display of varied ef fects in the line art of focusing. Finally, relates the Youth's Companion, one ol his, cousins picked up a print which ap parently represented a stretch of stony field upon which a heavy fog was shut ting down. "What in the world is this, Tom?" she demanded. "That?" Tom retorted with dignity. "I should think anybody could recognize that! It's the beech avenue—at an eight-foot focus! Those rocks in the extremely interest ing foreground are merely pebbles to the common eye. As for the beeches, like air beauty, they demand imagina tion in the beholder before tliey will re veal themselves." The cousin looked up saucily. "Tom," she said, solemnly, "it's the very finest photograph of Mrs Ephraim I'emberton's view of life that I ever saw!" Who does nrit, at the phrase, recognize Mrs. Ephraim I'em befton?

CLEVELAND AND BRYAN. Tlie OI«l Pot mill Krltle llimliirux l«e --%I % fil lu the lli-.uoerutlv 1111 II kit. Very little interest was taken in Mr. Bryan when he roile through the streets of Chicago Saturday, but some interest attaches to his speech which he deliv ered at the picnic of the Chicago Demo cratic club because of the preliminary advertising which it received. It was to contain a highly seasoned "roast" of Cleveland, and was to be a political pro nunciamento of national significance, says the Chicago Record-Herald. The attack on Cleveland was made according to expectations, but Mr. Bry an lias about exhausted his rhetoric in philippics of this sort, and we know only what we knew before, that he will do his utmost to prevent the Cleveland democrats from gaining control of the next democratic national convention. His logic on the injury done his can didacy in 18!h> by the record of the Cleveland administration is curious enough, however, to deserve some no tice. The odium of that record, he says, did more to defeat the democratic party than any one plank of the Chicago plat form. or even than all the planks that were severely criticised. In a sense this is true, but not at all in the sense that Mr. Bryan means. The greatest influ ence against the democrats was the hard times, and in all probability it would have defeated any democratic candidate if there had been no silver question. But there was a very general belief that the hard times were due to the Wilson HE FORESEES KiS i ; ATD. I - Bryan Says the Success of the Cleveland Movement Will Result in a Tragedy tariff bill, which had the support of Mr. Bryan in congress, and which both Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Bryan desired should become a law in a more radical form than that in which it was finally enacted. There was no divergence between the two men on this point, and if the Chi cago platform struck at Cleveland in its approval of Altgeld's views of govern ment by injunction and of state's rights, Mr. Bryan's own specialty was sixteen to one, the "paramount" issue. Here he diverged from Cleveland very widely, but Cleveland's ideas on the subject were known before the election of 1892, and they were the winning ideas in the elections of 18% and 1900. It is hardly clear, therefore, that the Cleveland ad ministration was so much worse than the Bryan convention as a vote re peller, and Mr. Bryan ought to get his Masoning powers into a better state of repair. As to bis speech aa a whole, we can not discover that it i* a keynote or ral lying cry. It is strongly denunciatory of Mammon, but Mammon has no self professed friends on the stump among democrats or republicans. PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

Denver, Col., July 29.—Amalgama tion into one party was yesterday ef fected by the two factions of the peo ple's party in national conference. The following address was reported by the committee on resolutions and was adopted: "The manifest unrest which every where appears in the nation demon strates the dissatisfaction of the American people with the present management of government and ar gues the necessity of the reform forces coming together in united ac tion at the ballot-box to obtain prop er legislation by which the right of the people to self-government may be had for themselves si rid their pos terity. "Therefore, we, the populists of the United States, having this day at the city of Denver united forces with the distinct, understanding that all past differences as to policy shall be and now are permanently settled, and ex perience having demonstrated the fu tility of any attempt to secure the enactment of our truths either through the republican or democratic parties, we lielieve the time is now at hand when the united people's party should declare itself eniphaticallv op posed to any affiliation with either of these parties and unqualifiedly in fj,..,. ~c , ( , 11 :it political action. "Our fundamental principles are known to sill populists and are now here better stated than in that im mortal document enunciated at Omaha July 4. 1900. "However, for the benefit of the un informed, we declare our unyielding adherence to the demands for a money, whether stamped on gold, sil ver or paper, to be coined ami issued exclusively by the government, and made a full legal tender for all debts, both public and private; a system of transportation and the transmission of intelligence, owned by the public and operated by the government at the cost of service; land for use rather than for soeculation, and abo lition of alien ownership of land; American ships for American foreign commerce, without a cent, of sub sidy. "And as an open door for all eco nomic reforms we urge the rule, of the people through the optional ref erendum and initiative and the recall of derelict officials. "Confident in the justice of the principles here set forth, firmly con fident that their triumph in govern ment would be for the best interest of the people, we call upon the pa triotic citizens of this country to join with us in bringiiur aliout their enact ment into law. With these princi ples firmly established, equal justice would prevail, special privilege:! would be eliminated and ours would be, as patriots everywhere desire, a government of the people, for and by the people." The conference adjourned sine die last evening. It is expected that the two national committees which will meet here today will ratify the action of the conference in the adoption of resolutions providing for amalgama tion. The committee to nominate an organization committee was empow ered to add to its membership one man from each state and territory in the Union. This committee is to car ry 011 the work of organization until the next national convention, when it is expected that formal amalgama tion of the two populist parties will occur.

Havana, July 31. —In spite of the I assertion made by Scnor Yero, sec retary of the interior, that the kill- Sing of three men and the capture of a fourth man, their leader, who had J attempted to cause an uprising in the vicinity of llayaino, province of j Santiago, effectually ended the only semblance of an uprising in Cuba, the rumors of uprisings in eastern Cuba | were fully confirmed Thursday in the government's reports received from the governor and other official:-! of Santiago province. These are to the effect that since Sunday last GO armed and mounted men have appeared outside villages in the Cauto river district, proclaim ing a revolution and demanding the payment of the former members of the revolutionary army. Xo acts of violence have been reported, but the inhabitants of the Cauto region are excited. The leader of the revolu tionary party is named Pttpo. He is a brother of one of the bandits killed by the rural guard on Tuesday. On.

"The losses," said jJeputy Comp troller Kane, "will absorb the entire surplus and capital stock of the bank. In other words, the total loss will amount to $215,000 and it devolves upon the directors and stockholders to make up this deficiency." Francis L. Worthington, a director, said: "The president and cashier ran things to suit themselves. They had no right to do so. They ought to have consulted the board of directors and this trouble would have been avoided. Xo one suspected anything wrong.
