No artist has attained the art of true portrayal to
an equal degree in recalling the old English life.
His collection of historic English furniture and in
terior decorations is the most comprehensive in
existence. From them he gathers the inspirations
which have made his work greatly loved for its
rare expression.
These proofs and prints are for sale, and afford an
opportunity to obtain unique specimens of this
noted artist, especially adapted to Colonial Rooms.
The length of tims this collection will be here is very short; for this

Committeeman to Take Charge of

and Manage Campaign.
REPUBLIC EPBCIAL
Indianapolis, Ind-. April 10. Thomas
Taggart. National Democratic Committee
man for Indiana, who has been conduct
ing the flght against TV. R. Hearst, re
turned to French Lick this morning, and
will take charge of the Parker forces In
Southern Indiana In all the counties In
which delegates to the State Convention
of May II have not been selected.
There will be a total of 1.547 delegates
In that body, and about one-half of them
have now been selected. Taggart has as
sumed the leadership of the Parker men
In the State on account of his extensive
acquaintance and because all the shafts
-of the Hearst men have been aimed at
him. culminating in efforts to ruin his
private business, and finally In threat." to
tart a paper In this city in opposition to
the Sentinel.
f Before leaving for French Lick. Taggart
talked freely of the outlook In this State.
)' 'The Democrats of Indiana," said he,
'"are for .Parker, and will send a solid
delegation to St. Louis for him. Senti
ment Is crystalizing against Hearst, and
he is not as strong as he whs when he
first, entered upon his Indiana campaign.
"One of the reasons for the change of
sentiment since Hearst's first invasion of
the State is found In the methods that
have been adopted by his managers.
They have appealed to classes, rather than
to men as Democrats, and havo tried to
make the lmpresBlon that there Is a moe
ment In union-labor circles all over the
country, for his nomination. In the pri
maries In this city there were more lahor
votes cast against him than for him, and
there is no likelihood that he will get a
delegate from this State,"

That dull, heavy feeling from coffee may
not amount to much in itself, butxlt's a
great obstacle in the way of fame and fortune,-
for It kills ambition and makes one

The successful men and women must
first conquer themselves. The way to con
quer that dull, stupid feeling nine times
out of ten Is to pay a little attention to

"I was a lover of coffee," says a New

Foreign Ministers' Conference at
Abbazia Declared to Be
Satisfactory.
HARD FEELINGS EXISTED.
Work of Diplomacy, However,
Hay Be Checked by Incident
Which Occurred While
Sleeting Was in Progress.
Rome. April 10. Signor Tlttoni. the
Italian Foreign Minister, in an interview
to-day. said that he and Count Goluchow
skl. the Austrian Foreign Minister, were
entirely satisfied with their meeting at
Abhaiia yesterday, the result of which he
would communicate to Parliament.
The following, telegraphed from Vienna
to the newspaper Independents causes a
sensation:
'The resurrection ot the agitation in
Italy, in which the agitators claimed the
Italian Provinces still under Austria, so
rtralned the relations of the two countries
that they were several times on the point
of declaring war. Austria was indignant
when Italy protested to the Emperor of
Germany, w ho. according to the Triple Al
liance. Is the arbiter of Austro-Itallan dis
putes. "The Emperor decided that Italy was
wrong in not repressing tho anti-Austrian
movement, and that Austria would
be wrong if she tried to occupy Albania,
and thus confllict with Italian Interests.
"There being no appeal from this deci
sion, Italy and Austria decided to com
plete the accord obtained through the
meeting at Naples of Emperor William
nnd King Victor Emmanuel. In whose
toasts, contrary to other similar mani
festations. Emperor Francis Josef was
cordi.illy alluded to.
Ilcsldes this meeting at Abazzi, which
occurred in our- nf the ltaliuu Pi-ovlncis
subject to Austria, Is to be understood
as Italy's formal renunciation of those
provinces."
Had Auslro-Itallan feeling, in which
there Is a risk of checking the work of
dlp'omaey. has been aroused by an inci
dent which occurred while the meeting be
tween the Ministers at Abazzi was tak
Irg place.
The Italian steamer Molfetta, on arriv
ing at Cattaro. a fortified seaport In the
Austrian Province of Dalmatla. was ap
proached by Austrian gendarmes, who
ald they wished to Inspect the vessel.
The captain of the Molfetta refused to
allow the gendarmes to como on board If
they carried arms, and the soldiers threat
ened to attack the ship.
The captain displayed the Italian flag
over the gangway, when the gendarmes
were ordered to' Arc. Before the order
could be carried Into effect the captain
yielded, in order to avoid Woodshed. The
Italian Government will bring the matter
to the nttention of the Austrian Govern
ment, and ask for an explanation.

St. Louis Man's Friend Desire to
Wait Until Their Adversary
Stops Out of Office Before
Electing Delegates.
hetciiuc srEcrAL.
Kansas City. April 10. Now that the
municipal election excitement Is over. th
Folk men are actively arranging to push
their campaign. With the assurance that
they havo a safe majority of the County
Committee,, including its chairman, An
drew Gallagher, they are preparing for
the effort as though they would meet with
no opposition whatever in the committee
meeting. This indicates that the Folk
managers have complete confidence that
they are safe in that direction.
It has been agreed by the managers that
they will not elect delegates before the
end of May. but they do not go so far as to
pay that they will not wait until June
before facing the Issue. It Is to be a
straight fight between Mayor Reed and
Circuit Attorney Folk.
'There will be two ballots In the field,
and one will be headed "Folk Delega
tion." while the other will be heaoed
'Reed Delegation.' "
Bo announced one of the most Important
men In the Democratic party in the county
this morning.
TO WAIT TILL REED RETffiEa
Continuing, this authority said: "We
want to postpone the election until Mayor
Reed shall have been placed on the same
level as Mr. Folk. By that I mean to re
call that Mr. Folk has no organized ma
chine to support his claims. We shall wait
until the new city administration shall
have taken charge, and the Reed di
rectors are beyond pay-roll Influence; and,
what Is more, the 2.000 street sweepers.
Pork Board men. and others are, like the
2.W0 similarly rated men who will vote
for Mr. Folk, are in nrivnte nnlnv anH
beyond the power or Reed coercion in the
City Hall. It Is not asking too much in
all fairness to ask for a postponement of
the fight until these equ-il conditions are
brought about. Anyhow, too much or too
little, we mean to have it."
Mayor's Secretary Harvey. In the ab
sence of the Mayor himself, was asked
fOr hiS VleWS. MrHnrVW f nnl manoir-
ing the general campaign, but has the
confidence of the Mayor, and is In the
closest possible touch with the situation.
He said:
"We can beat the Folk men on any
field thoy select- They have not a control
In the County Committee. Mr. Reed has
twice mot the Folk managers." (mean
ing Mr. Shannon and Mr. Shelby, though
while these are Folk supporters, they are
not Folk managers) "and each time he
has defeated them.
"We will win when the fight is on be
cause we will have the Democrats on our
side. The Fnlk men are not Democrats.
Mayor-elect Neff, a 4tepubl!can, recog
nized them fittingly when he publicly
thanked them through the newspapers un
der the name of the 'Folk Democracy.'
We might not hope to overcome a Bolt
Republican alliance, but- we will not have
to negotiate with it. As to the County
Committee, we feel certain that a ma
jority of Its members Is favorable to Mr.
Reed's candidacy. The chairman himself,
Mr. Gallagher, has said he Is for Mr.
Reed.
FOLK'S HANDS OFF.
Folk's friends scoff at the Idea of the
recent election showing anything. While
some of Mr. Folk's supporters worked for
Shelley. Mr. Folk took no part whatever
in the campaign, and It was understood
that he was keeping his hands off. Mr.
Reed, on the other hand, made fifty
speeches here to the electors prior to
tho Tuesday election, and so had whipped
his friends Into line. Congressman Cow
herd, the most potent Influence In the
Reed wing, spoke In his behalf. AH the
time Mr. Folk had not uttered one syl
lable In this campaign.
The Shelley ticket was not regular.
Frank Walsh and J. M. Lowe, the Folk
managers, ordered Mr. Folk to be left out
on the ground that he must not be tainted
with anything like irregularity.
County Chairman Gallagher was asked
this morning when he would call his com
mittee together.
"Whenever both sides ask it," he re
plied. The fact that the Mayor has not made
this request convinces Folk's friends that
Reed has no faith In the story that he
controls the committee.
For many months Mr. Reed's demand
was for the election of delegates by di
rect vote, and during his Incumbency of
the Mayor's office.
TO DELAY PRIMART.
Contrary to the Mayor's wishes, the
Folk managers demanded a late vote and
the election of delegates by direct vote, as
the Mayor wanted, but by 'wards and
townships. Instead of by the county at
large. They feared that the Mayor's vote
In the city, created by his police ana'I.OOQ
salaried supporters,- would overcome the
unsalaried Folk vote in the city and In
the county outside the city.
Reed Is understood to favor a county
convention. The Folk men are opposing
this. One of the Folk managers safd this
morning:
"We will not have a convention. Tho
fair thing to do Is to let the people vote
direct on delegates. We will adopt that
course."

Circuit Attorney Folk and Congressman
W. D. Vandiver spent yesterday in St.
Louis on their way from the western
part of the State to Jasper County, where
they will spend to-day preparatory to going
after the twenty delegates from Jasper
County to the State Convention.
Mass meetings will be held In Jasper to
morrow, and tho flght between Folk and
Reed Is the hardest thnt has yet been
fought, with the possible exception of Ver
Jion County.
Joplin Is the largest city In Southwest
Missouri, and the Folk managers are fear
ful of the result In that place, though they
feel confident that they will carry the
country districts.
By the rule of the State Committee, the
three legislative districts of Jauper will
vote as a unit. With mass meetings, it is
confessedly more" difficult for the friends
of Folk to make an adoquuto showing
than in a primary.
Aside from the interest in the guberna
torial light, the old factional lines in Jas
per are being draun on new Issues. If
Folk win", it means that Gilbert liarbee,
the present State Committeeman from the
Fifteenth District, will not retain his seat
In that body. Otherwise, he probably will
go back.
Cungrcifci-man Vandiver denied yesterday
that the friends of Mr. Folk were think
ing of having a slate for offices other than
Governor.
"I can say for myself that I feel that I
am working for the people," he said lust
night. "I think that they want a Gov
ernorat least fifteen counties Instructing
so. one after another, would seem to In
dicate as much. I am not bothered about
other offices, fhat is 'or the people to de
cide. If they projiose to overturn st
plans, that Is for them to determine. My
chief Interest Is in thn governorship. That
settled beyond doubt. I shall be satisfied.
1 expect to return to Washington next
Sunday."
Johnson County, which is the home of
"Rube" Oglosby. candidate for Railroad
Commissioner, will havo mass meeting'?
next Saturday, to select delegates to its
County Convention.
It Is considered certain--that instruc
tions will be given to Oglesby for Rail
road Commissioner, while It is probable
that there will be a fight over the guber
natorial candidacies of Folk and Reed. It
Is claimed that the friends of Folk in
Johnson County inslt that he should also
receive Instruction, while the friends of
Reed want an unlnstructed delegation to
the State Convention on tho.gubernatorial
question. ,
Nodaway County, another which will
act Saturday, is tho home of James Todd,
candidate for Lieutenant Governor. Folk
is expected to carry this county, as Mr.
Todd ii an active friend of Mr. Folk, and
Is running as a supporter' of Folk. Ripley
County is counted in the Folk column.
Mr. Folk will speak in Cas.-. and John
son counties the latter part 'of the week.

TIMELINESS OF ADDRESS.
Representative's Voice and Man

Years Ago.
REPUBLIC xPEffAL,
Washington. April 10. It 1. sWdom that
a speoch delivered ,ln Congress outlives
me sunset, save in (he particular haill
wlck of the rpcaker, hut the Rnurke Cock
ran eloquence of yesterday is as much,
and more, the subject of discussion to-day
than it was immediately after its dra
matic peroration.
Congressman say that Cockran comes
back to the House savoring of Tammany
and with a political record which teems
tvith Inconsistencies, but they ever return
to the admission that the spepch was a
great oration, and that it struck a pow
erful blow in dealing with a theme which
Is deeply and c-eriouyly. rather than politi
cally, the problem of tho times. As was
said by a Hcprcsentatlie:
"The American imperialistic drift is,
perhaps, most apparent in the Increasing
powers of tho Chief Executive and the
Senate, and In the declining Influence of
the direct Representatives of the people
members of the House. Speaker Cannon
has asserted an intention to declare the
independence of the House and to fight
the Senate. But Cockran has managed
to steal all of 'Uncle Joe's" thunder, and
to voice a denunciation of the aristocracy
of the Senate with such vigor that it will
not be forgotten.
"It had been expected that Cockran
would astiall Roosevelt personally. On the
contrary, he dealt almost abstractly with
the office, and the dangers of trusting so
much of authority to its occupant. He
avoided placing himself In the purely par
tisan and prejudiced attitude, and by this
tactful move his appeal was rendered tre
mendously more effective. There was
absolutely nothing that could be said In
answer to him, which was reason for the
hat failure of the lame replies made by
Dalzcll and Grosvenor.
"Nothing heard in the House in years
has carried the force of that reference
ho made to tho remedy, which, as Speaker
Cannon said in a speech last session, lies
in "public opinion.' "
A PLEA FOR PUBLIC OPINION.
"Public opinion," exclaimed Mr. Cock
ran, "where is it? Where 1b Its voice?
Where is its sanctuary? Where is Its
source? Why. sir, the public opinion of the
United States U here. Wo are its agenta;
wo ar Its creation. Wc, sir, regard this
as the sanctuarv of our constitutional tem
ple. We are the priests to whom It is
lntruted. You. sir." addressing the
Speaker, "are the high priest, responsible
for the method in which that trust should
ho discharged by those upon whom this
duty is entailed." (Loud and enthusiastic
applause.)
These who saw Mr. Cockran when he
was In the House ten years ago and lis
tened to this ringing speeches ho made
upon the tariff and silver questions were
somewhat surprised yesterday at tho
change in the man.
HLs appearance is quite different from
what'lt was then. His voice has changed.
There Is less of melody and more of
harshness In it. and the rich Irish brogue,
to pleasing to the car. Is less pronounced
than formerly. He spoke apparently with
more effort than was hl younger practice,
but at tho same time with great fervor
and earnestness. Ho still has magnetism
and wonderful forco of delivery.
That it was n masterful oration, oven
his political opponents were obliged to ad
mit, the like of which has seldom been
heard In the House of Representatives.
His prcsenco and volume of voice, his
perfect diction, clearness of thought and
power of delivery unite to make him eas
ily and above all the leader of speech
makers In that great American forum of
debate. There are other orators In the
House, eacli with his own peculiar style
and effectiveness, but not ono who so fully
combines all the arts or oratory as Mr.
Cockran. His speech was plainly an evi
dence that the day of great orators Is
not gone.

To cook a pood rllnnor on a coal stove without marring your din
ner or your tenifx-r thafa chance. Your stove might not get hot It
might get too hot or It might get hot at the wrong time. Depends
upon your "luck."
No such uncertainty about a gas range. Heat is regulated to a de
gree. As much as you want and Just where you want it.
Reduce your cooking to a scientific certainty and know before
hand that when you put things in tho oven they'll come out "just
right" rich, appetizing, full-flavored. There's a world of satisfaction
there. Xo fear of failure If company comes.
COOK scientifically in other words, abandon the outworn, hit-or-mlsa

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
. Chicago, 111., April 10. "I do not know
whether I will make a campaign in Cook
County or let Deneen and Lowden fight it
out alone. To tell tho truth." and Gov
ernor Yates laughed, "Colonel Lowden and
Mr. Deneen are wholly indifferent as to
my decision In the matter. I suppose If
they were anxious for me to keep out
that I would be contrary enough to enter
their field.
"Scott Cowen. who Is one of my cam
paign committee, says I ought to make
the flght in Chicago on the ground that I
cculd not lose anything, and every dele
gate I got would be that much better than
none at all. I am still undecided. I met
several Cook County friends Friday fore
noon, and they advised me that It would
make no difference In the result In Cook
that I will get as many delegates with
out the expense and trouble of a contest
as I would get If 1 put up a line of bat
tle. My own friends are divided on the
question."
The contest in Cook between Deneen and
Lowden began Thursday last on the part
of Deneen. and to-morrow Lowden opens
lis batteries. They will have about four
weeks to make the canvass befoie the pri
maries. CLAIMS.
Lovrden's friends are certain the Colonel
will have at lea,st 300 delegates from the
county. Mr. Denecn's managers anjjierf
thuslastic friends are Just as certain that
the State Attorney will land 400 State
delegates of the 513. An analysis of tho
situation from an unprejudiced viewpoint
will force the conclusion that lwth esti
mates are high. If Mr. Deneen secures
300 he will get nil he Is entitled to, unless
something sensational In his favor de
velops during the canvass. Colonel
lowden will have 200 and stands an ex
cellent chance of increasing the number
to 231 or approximately half the entire
delegation.
There hi no conceallnf the disappoint
ment jmong Mr. Deneen's friends at the
slender support the State Attorney re
ceived in the rural countlo. They do not
attempt to explain it. and arc strenuously
endeavoring to hold their forces with the
promise that If 400 votes for Deneen can
be secured In Cook then the country dele
gates will fall over themselves In a mad
effort to climb into the Deneen band-
"W'e will have 400 in Cook." declared a
friend ot the State Attorney, "and this
will bring at Ic.ist 100 to us from the
country- Just as Moon as Judge Hamlin
finds out he ennnot be nominated we will
linve all hi" strength, at least 3W. Tills
aggregate 700. or within fifty of :t nomi
nation. We en get that number by trad
ing our votes to candidates for university
trustees, and not take Into account at all
the offices of Lieutenant Governor. Secre
tary of State. Auditor and Attorney Gen
eral." CHICAGO GOVERNOR.
Colonel Ijowden's friendi arc not count
ing combinations out loud. If they havo
any hopes of combining with Hamlin, or
Sherman, or Warner or Yates they say
nothing aout it. But they do point with
some degree of exultation to the long list
of delegates from the country that nre
conceded their leader in advance of tho
Cook County primaries. There Is an air
of confidence in the gossip in the Low
den headquarters. They are relying a
great deal on Chicago pride and in the
alleged necessity to the metropolis of hav
ing Chlcagoan In the executive chair In
Springfield, when legislation affecting tho
new Chicago charter Is being considered.
"It i Just this way," maintained one of
Lowden's supporters, "Chicago needs the
governorship during the next four y.r"
as it "never needed it before. The cam
paign In the country has emphasized the
fact that the only Chlcagoan who Is at all
deired by the country Is Colonel Lowden.
If Chicago Is to have one of its citizens
as Governor. It Is bound to be Lowden.
Excepting Governor Yates. Colonel Low
den will have more votes from the coun
try In the convention thaft any other two
candidates. There Isn't a ghost ot a show
for any other citizen or Chicago, and 1
believe the Republicans of this city will see
this point before the primaries arc held

and give their votes to Lowden. They

If they want a Governor from the country
they will not support Lowden."
This is a line of selfish reasoning that
may apreal forcibly to Chicago, Repub
licans. Inasmuch a the rural districts

ecutive of tho Stnte, except for his ability
to hand the patronage to hungry patriot
whi guess the bjnd wagon, there Is llttle

SUMMARY.
A summary of the general situation
shows that Governor Yates will havo
about 400. Lowden about 2M. Hamlin ap
proximately 175. Deneen clo-so to 260. Sher
man not far from 75. and Warner about 3S
delegates in the State Convention, outside
of Cook County.
The recent conventions' have furnished
some surprises. The action of Jo Daviess
in declaring for Governor Yates. 'when it
was conceded to Lowden by political -wiseacre,
was the worst shock. It is an!4
that Ciljnel Low.Vn lost the county be
cause his supporter! lost the city of Ga
lena through overconfldence.
Johnson also wa.-s surprise, for it 'was"
thought, that Judge Hamlin, through his
assistant. Gcorgi- H. Gillespie, had It
nailed don. Apparently Huralln has an
easy vlctorv in Christian. Flayotte may
declare for Yates, however. The absolute
hopelessness of Governor Yates's candl
d.icy has discouraged his followers la
many places. It Is tiot easy to flght tinder
tho banner of a defeated leader. This, It
Is believed, will operate to the advantage
of the faction In Clinton and Fayette
that Is opposed to the rcnomioatlon or
Governor l'ates.
In Chicago, the politicians are talking
openlv of a combination between Deneen
and Hnmlln the Deneen strength I to
go to llatnllu on on early ballot This
would place Hamlin. Lowden and Yates
as the figures in. the limelight, and
give Yates an opportunity to nominate)
tho winner.
