Chicago, 111, Aug. 3.—The gold
standard Democratic leaders have de-
cided definitely upon a new conven-
tion to be held in Chicago about Sept.
1, to put a new national ticket in the
field. This announcement was mude
authoritatively to-day. The arrange-
ments looking to the consummation of
the plan are already well under way.
The New York leaders particularly
regarded matters as settled beyond a
peradventure as far as the location
and date of the convention are con-
cerned, aud being inclined to busy
themselves now chiefly with discussion
as to the question of candidates.

Topkka Kan., Aug 1.—J. J. Frey,
general manager of the Atchison, To-

life long Democrat, has bolted the
Chicago ticket and will vote for the
gold standard this fall. He said to-
dap: "1 Imve no hesitancy in saying
that I am not in favor of the free sil-
ver idea. 1 don't think it would be
best for the country. I have been a
Democrat all my life and have always
voted the Democratic tieket and 1 am
sorry I can't stay with the party this
fall. This would bo impossible, how-

Chicago, Aug. d- The speculative
deal in Diamond Match and New York
Biscuit stock has come to au end. The
Moore Bro have failed The great-
est speculation ever known in Chicago
has culminated in the failure of the
people who were behind the deal.
The Chicago stock exchange ad-
journed at Id o'clock this morning for
an indefinite period. Tills action was
decided upon at a meeting held last
niug at which were present the
members of the stock exchange, gov-
erning committee and a number of
prominent capitalists.
Tho speculative deal ot which the
failure is the culmination is by ail
odds the most important in the history
of Chicago stock exchange affairs. It
began early in this year. The stock
of the Diamond Match Company had
been selling along 130 for quite a time
and there had been no special activity
in the market. Just prior . > the Ven-
ezuela incident, the tip had got out in
inside circles that there were to be
some important European develop-
ments in connection with Diamond
Match affairs and the buying of the
stocks commenced by strong people.
The Venezuelan panic interfered with
the speculation and the stock dropped
during the general decline at that
time to Ho. From there the rise
started which is the most remarkable
in the history of the exchange.
A strong group of speculators,
headed by John II Moore and Will-
iam II. Moore, began buying the
stock. It moved up with scarcely a
halt. The bears occasionally endeav-
ored to interfere with the rise, hut
they each time found that there was
both speculative genius and financial
strengtn behind the market, which
was unlike anything in local specula-
tive affairs. The rise went on for a
considerable time before the general
public had any intimation of what
was really behind the advance.
When the decline in stock markets
generally came, following the Demo- j
cratic convention, the stock was sell-
' ing at'224 The values of other se- j
curities tumbled day after day, but
Match was held steadily without so !
much as a fractional decline. Tho
Moores bought tlie stock with con-
fidence that inspired confidence in
others. The people who had the best
information about the company s
prospects seemed to feel absolutely
certain of the value of tho security,
and prices were held through all the
sharp fluctuations in other stocks
fluctuations which carried West Chi-
cago to the lowest point in its history,
and marked startling declines in all
other securities.
Yesterday the stock was held with
hardly a waver at 222, but there was
an outpouring of long stock which led
the keen observer of the market to
fear that the load might become too
heavy, and the events later in tho
afternoon proved that those fears were
correct
The deal in Diamond Match was
only part of this great speculative op-
eration. Tlie Moore Bros, lmd organ-
ized the New York Biscuit company
several years ago. after the first great ' eight others,
success of the Diamond Match corn- property in the
pany. The panic of 1S03 had hit ilie
biscuit company severely as it did all
the other industries and the stock was
far below par. The success which
was met with in a speculative manip-
ulation <>f Diamond Match led to a
desire to see what could be done with
New York Biscuit and that stock was
taken several months ago and ad-
vanced from 70 to 108.
From that it dropped back to 02.and
for weeks was held close about that
figure, in spite of the sharp declines in
other securities. Enormous quantities
of this stock were also poured upon
tho market, but they were taken with
the same steadiness which marked the
action of Diamond match. The accum-
ulations. however, represented a
great sum in time, and tlie operations

respectable Irish family and passed
with some distinction through Trinity
college, Dublin. By profession an ar-
chitectural draughtsman, he made an
unfortunate Investment and lost heav-

young children, and, quitting Donegal,
went to England, whoie he obtained
employment at Bury. In Lancashire,
but never regained the position he had

good position to the brink of absolute

to a district abounding in soap and
candle factories and other evil-smell-

squalid suburb of tho metropolis that
Edmund Curtis has been brought up.
Such scant education as he had was
obtained at the Board school.
It was not until M. C. H. Gray, the
head of the India Rubber C.utta Percha
Telegraph works, where ho was em-
ployed, saw the article in London that
he knew there was a young poet in ilie
factory. As soon as he was enllght- |
ened, he generously offered to provide
for his education. But in this he had
already been forestalled. Soon after
the boy's verses appeared In London
the dally papers took the case up and
published leading articles In which the
poems of the boy poet were favorably
commented upon. One paper saw In
them "the promise of fine work" and
"evidence of great Imaginative power."
Mr. Andrew Lang found the verses
full of promise, comparing them with
the school verses of Sir Walter Scott,

press! The reporter describes him as a
bright-faced, intelligent looking lad-
still a mere boy, with frank gray eyes
and a smooth, fair skin. He was much
affected by the kindness which had
been showered upon him, and gave
some details of his past life. He was
proud of the fact that his family had
lived in Donegal for longer than he
could tell, and that there must be good
blood in his veins.
It is to the credit of the editor of
London that he has endeavored to pro-
tect the lad from the well meant but
very harmful adulation of hysterical
"admirers," who rushed to the office of
the paper with "invitations" for tho
"dear boy," and the most foolish offers
of advice and assistance. Happily, one
gentleman, whoso tact and ability are
to be thoroughly relied on, took the lad
up. He at once made ample provision
for his education, and, with the ready
consent of his father, took him straight
away Into the country, where he will
breathe the pure, health-giving air, and
should rid himself of the morbid senti-
ment which runs through nearly all
the lines which have been published.
He will not be asked to write any more
poetry for some time to come—indeed,
writing anything will be discouraged as
far as possible. He Is apparently in
good hands, and If the crowd can be
kept bajk he will be all right. If he
does not turn out a poet, he may af
least become a man.

Ornamental Swallows.
A flight of swallows made of the fin-
est glittering brilliants is one of the
newest ornaments with which the sum-
mer matron delights to adorn herself.
Each of the five Jeweled birds can be
separated and worn either as a brooch
or as an ornament for the hair. To
those who find the swallow too modest
a device the robin redbreast Is a fash-
ionable substitute. The robin is mount-
ed on a branch of leaves and berries,
and has gay Jeweled wings and a breast
of enameled Iridescent red. A conceit
that Is more odd than beautiful takes
tho form of a white rabbit, his body all
pearly, his pink eyes of the balas ruby
pnd his long ears are pearls with sug-
gestions of pink about their tips. Often
by way of further elaboration, the lit-
tle rabbit Is mounted upon his hind legs
upon a gold bar, and is gazing upon a
butterfly glistening with golden beryls
and purple amethyst*.
Forgot the Name.
A good ono Is told on Col. W. M.
Morrison of DeKalb, who is making
an active canvass In the county for
representative. Of course the county U
full of candidates and the women and
children have become familiar with
their every-day calls. The colonel
drove up to a house in the upper edgo
of a district, when a little girl who was
playing In tho yard ran to the house,
and, forgetting In her excitement tho
name of "candidate," cried out: "Oh,
mamma, here comes another one of
them things."—Atlanta Constitution.
