suvor speeCnes IL coulu. got some
printed, hired boys aud girls to ad>
dress them, and mailed them by using
Congressmen's franks. In this way a
round million addresses were mailed
to oil parts Of the country, but more
largely to the Southern States and
those of the middle West.
After being in Washington 10 DAYS
Colonel Bryan suggested that silver
meeting be held IN Now York cit, j,
and he was sent, without "purse or
scrip" to organize it. He did. He
tried to secure rooms at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, in which to hold head
quarters and do the preliminary work !;
but failed. The hotel people feared
for tho hotel. He went to the Hoffman
House, aud WAS there received with
open arms.
After consulting with some gentle.
men friendly to the cause, he decided
to call the meeting in the name OF the
IA New York delegates to the Chi.
cago Convention. and invited the re,
porters to his rooms to talk over
matters. The next morning every
newspaper in New York mentioned
the proposed meeting.
Some $500 invitations were then
addressed to prominent anti-siver
men, asking them to attend tho meet
ing. The gold bugs rushed to the
newspaper Offices, Indignantly dis
claiming any connection with the
meeting or sympathy for the cause.
This helped in advertising the affair
AS there was some talk OF a mob to
break up this meeting, as one had
been broken up at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. Colonel Bryan caused to be
published a statement to the effect
that he had seen Inspector Williams,
who had promised 500 police men. or
as many as necessary, to insure q
peaceful meeting.
The meeting was then advertised in
IA newspapers.
The hall was packed. Between
1000 and 6,O00 persons attended,
every available inch of space being
occupied, and fully twiee a. many
turned away unable to get to the hall.
II there had been speakers at hand,
several overflow meetings could have
been held.
The meeting was such a success
that it eroused the enthusiasm of
Brisbin Walker, proprietor of the
Cosmopolitan Magazine, who said that
il Congressman Bryan, of Nebraska, a,
and Hon. 7. Nj. Patterson, of Colo>
RADIO. could be secured to speak at a
meeting in Madison Square Garden
on Sunday evening, he would sub
scribe $500 himself and guarantee as
much more-or $1,000 altoge.her-to,
| ward the expenses of the meeting.
The work being fairly we'll started
in New York, Colonel Bryan returned
to Washington. When he first went
there he and his associates of the ex-
ecut,ve committee acting in coniunc.
ton with the Bimetaliic League, had
corresponded all over the country and
sent speakers to hold meetings in the
districts OF Congressmen Who were

BABIES REMODELED.
Specialists Who Promote the Beauty and
ShapeIiness of Children.

A year or two after the birth of
baby the thought begins to come into
the mothers mind at times that posi-
bly, her child is not the perfection
VIII ich she has always thought it to be,
and that it may be well to do what she
can to remedy the possible defects of
nature. The first idea. of course, that
enters the parents mind. especially
when the child is the first one. is that
their baby is the prettiest, healthiest.
brightest and most intelligent child
that ever came into the world. II re-
quires some time for this belief 20 be at
all shaken, though they recall the
critical manner in which they viewed
the first offspring of their friends, and
how hideous some of these ba bies
seemed to them. 1t often requires
some time for a parent to realize
that his child is cross-eyed. let
alone such defects as too

formed limbs. II is hard for the mother
and father to admit even that their
child is bow-legged. or pigeon-totd, or
with crooked shoulders, or any other OF
the defects which are common enough
in grown up men and women.
Some bright young doctors have made
a speciality of looking after the cases OF
children like these. and the profession
has grown until there are now in New
York several doctors who find il the
most profitable part of their practice
and neglect other work TO make a spe-
cialty of children-not the diseases Of
children, for it is the practice of al!
doctors. especially family physicians.

DAHOMEY'S CONQUEROR.
His Arrival in Francs Causes q
Decided Sensation.
If He Will 1t. Gen. Dodds May Become q
Second Boulanger-A Mulatto Of
French, English and At
ricau Blood.

The advent of a victorious soldier. a
imam on horseback is a matter of
serious concern to the conservative re-
publican government of France The
meteoric career of Gen. Boulanger
demonstrated that the French people
are just as ready as they were in the
time of Napoleon Bonaparte to apoth-
eosize the military hero of the day, and
the opportunity of such demonstra-
ton, says Leslie's Weekly. is eagerly
seized by all the political elements OPP
posed to the existing order of things.
Gen. Dodds has come back to France
from the conquest Of Dahomey. He
has not come exactly on horseback,
but he bears the prestige of substan-
tial military triumph. 1t CHANGED that
he came by way of the Mediterranean,
so that his first greeting in France was
Enthusiastically demonstrative one
at the hands of the people of Mar
settles, celebrated for their mercurial
disposition and patriotic zeal. The
Tibet, the vessel in which Gen. Dodds
made the seventeen days voyage from
Dahomey, arrived in the port of Mar
settles on the morning of the 18th ult.
Quite feet of yachts and pleasure
craft, all gayly decorated, went out to
meet her; and the first person to well
come the general was NJ. Hanes, repre-
senting the government and the minis
try of marine. Amidst loud accla-
nations NJ. Hanes presented the Da-
honey medal, struck in special
commemoration of that victorious cam
paign. Upon discriminating Gen. Dodds
was met by various notabilities, and
there was a procession, through deco
rated streets crowded with an enthuSi-
astic populace, to the prefecture,
where eulogistic and patriotic speech
es were made; and in the evening a
grand ball and military reception in
which twelve hundred army officers,
including sixteen generals, took part.
The soldiers who arrived from Africa
on the Tibet also came in for a share
of the honors and festivities, and re-
ceived numerous gifts from the people.
All this was in marked contrast IT, the
reception OF Gen. Dodds in Paris, a few
days later. President Carnot simply
invited him to the Elysee mansion en-
civile. The conference was private,

Cuts heal readily in childhood, and
the operations which require the use OF

bones are soft, and the cartiiages OF

Went to Meet Her Dead Lover.

DR.. Nevins tells very touching
story in his Disorders of the Brain
A patient of his, a young lady engaged
to be married. was often visited by her
intended husband by the stage coach
which passed within mile or two of
her house. One day she went to meet
him, and found instead an old friend
who brought the news of his sudden
death. She uttered a frightful scream:
He is deadr' and then all conscious
ness of her misfortune ceased. DAY

creature, in all seasons. journey to the
spot where she had expected to see her
lover alight from the coach, and day

Live i'm the Forest.
The men engaged in logging indus
try are of a disposition akin to that of
all people similarly employed Rather
rough in appearance, they are, never
theless good-hearted and jovial, and as
rule. robust and healthy. They work
hard and as a natural result are blessed
with large appetites and unfailing di-
gestive organs.
When not working they spend their
time for the most part in innocent en-
1oyments, or knocking about town ;,
They are a jolly class to be among.
Many are educated and enlightened on
public questions and not infrequently
we find them prominent in local affairs
and acknowledged political leaders.
The living apartments of camp are
crude. and constructed but for a few
winters use, and oftentimes but for a
single season. The large, low build
tngs are constructed of logs, while the
roofs, which are nearly fat, are made
OF wooden tiles. hewn out from logs. or
from overlapping boards The furni-
ture. which in both cook shanties' and
mems shanties," is usually made from
rough pine boards, consists of tables,
benches, few shelves upon which to
put Dishes and the mems hunks Rough
bark covers the walls, while mud is
used to ''chink up" the cracks.
In the cook shanties are the large
stove ard long ia bles surrounded bv
benches that answer the purpose of
chairs. Apart from the main camp are
oftentimes found living apartments for
the foreman and his family, the woman
cook, when one is employed. One cook.
with the help of ''chore- bow or
cookie" is able to prepare the food
for from thirty to fifty men. The lum-
herman food is substantial. and usu-
ally SO prepared as to be quite palata-
bic: and to the time-honored pork and
beans there are added pastries and del
icacies.
In the center of the mems shanty
stands large stove, which by the
cracking dry pine or tamaraclx fire,
adds cheerfulness to the long winter
evenings. On either wall, arranged in
tiers of from two TO three deep are the
mems hunks, each large enough to hold

As soon as the snow goes off the
ground the work is abandoned until an
other winter, and the men are off to
town to enjoy short period of recre-
ation-and. too often, a protracted
spree, after which they go on to the
Jog drives and into the mills for the
summers work.
The logging industry has witnessed
many wonderful evolution within the
past few years, and is, at present, trans

lumber cut in Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Michigan amounts in each year to

years ending January /, 1890, the cut
was 5000, 81 ,567 feet, we are almost

Gen. Alfred Amedee Dodds (of whom
we present new portrait, from the
photograph recently taken at Mar
seilles), was born at st. Louis, in Sere-
gal, fifty-twO years ago. He is, in fact,
mulatto, of mixed French, English
and African blood. He received his
military education in France, but re-
turned to Africa in 1871, after serving
during the Franco-German war, and
was military commander at st. Louis
in 1890, with the rank of colonel when
the first campaign against Behanzin,
of Dahomey, was undertaken. His ex-
perience in African warfare and his
knowledge of the character of the ma
tive troops were of the greatest service
to him in preparing the plan of cam
paign which later he executed with
such brilliant success A French critic
says concerning his military capacity:
IF he has not the prompt, comprehen-
sive glance of Gen. de Negrier, or the
combative activity of Col. Archinard,
Gen. Dodds is endowed, through ava
tism no doubt, with the imperturba BILE
sang froid of the Anglo-Saxon."
