Gentleman and an Orator

Gentleman and an Orator.
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct 1.-THE first of the
two joint debates on political issues be-
tween William J. Bryan and John NJ.
Ihurston occurred here this afternoon.
1t Is estimated that 1000 people were in
Agricultural hall during the speaking.
The whole state was represented, and
many from other states were pres
ent. The fact that both speak
ers are avowed candidates for
the United States senate added to the
interest of the occasion. The reception
given the principal figures of the after
noon was hearty and enthusiastic. G. j.
Smythe. of Omaha; and John p. Maui, Of
Lincoln, took turns in presiding. As Mr..
Bryan was to open the debate Mr.. Smythe
made the opening statement He stated
the conditions of the debate and requested
that respectful attention be given the
speakers. Then he introduced Congress-
man Bryan, who was greeted with cheers.
The terms of the debate confined the
speakers to no particular topic.
Bryan touched chiefly on silver. the in
come tax and the Pacific railroad indebt-
edness. The income tax was fair, and he
was satisfied that tho future would vindi-
cate his judgment. As To the Pacific rail-
roads, If ne were elected to the senate he
proposed to do his best to have the gov
eminent mortgage foreclosed. 1t was on
the silver issue that he was most eloquent.
He was sure that the white metal would
be victorious eventually. He pointed to
the gains il had recently made in all parts
of the country. as vindication of his po-
stion. Mr.. Bryan was cheered vocifer-
ausiv at the ron niusior, of his ram arks
Mr.. Thurston received o great ovation.
He is graceful speaker. and in a measure
has an advantage over his able opponent.
His speech was of q more general nature
than that OF Bryan. He confessed 10 be-
ing at disadvantage. in the estimation
of some, in discussing the Pacific rail-
roads, since be was an attorney of the
leading company. Still he was confident
it was not to the advantage of the people
of the whole country TO have the govern
ment ioreclose its second mort
gage since il must then pay the
enormous first mortgage indebtedness.
Replying to Mr.. Bryan's income tax
views, he was brief and deprecated
the measure. believing IL could not endure.
On silver the speaker became brilliant
After declaring. 10 the surprise of some.
that he favored the free coinage OF the
American production. he pictured the
enormous loads of foreign white metal
that would be dumped into the United
States In the event of free coinage and in
closing declared the idea perfectly prepos-
ferrous. In Mr.. Bryan's closing reply he
became personal and derided Thurston for
his political acts of the past. They speak
at Omaha tomorrow.

one way of Getting Living.

Speaking about odd ways of making n
living, " said lawyer to me, 81 can tell
you new one, and it is followed by a
man who says he does fairly well. He
goes from Office to Office all over the city
and does nothing but sew on buttons for
men of all kinds, bachelors and boys and
married men too. It's nickel button,
and he generally furnishes the button,
though in most cases, he says, the men
have the buttons with them. As he enters
an Office his usual salutation is, Buttons,
buttons, any buttons OFF, and on either
coat, vest or trousers every man is pretty
sure to find button off or nearly ready to
come off. The genius carries his pockets
full of buttons of every kind and class,
and he seldom fails TO match. His waxed
threads, needles and scissors are ready at
hand, and man need not miss five min
utes from his duties to be nicely repaired
as far as buttons are concerned The
shrewd button sewer is not very commu-
NEGATIVE, but it's bad day when he fails
to sew on 20 buttons. In one Office at
least, where six or eight are employed,
saw him gather 40 cents in "A half hour.
And girl paid him 10 cents of that
amount if he would stitch two loose but.
tons on her jacket and make them firm. Z"

FriendshiDs of Snakes,

There is a certain GOODNESS almost to
be called a positive want of cordially
between snakes and human beings.
More, the snake is never social favor
lite among the animals called lower. No
body makes an intimate friend of a
snake. Popular natural history books
are filled and running over with anec-
dotes of varying elegance and mendac-
ity, setting forth extraordinary affec-
ton and cooperation between cat and
a mouse. horse and hen, pig and a
cockroach, a camel and lobster, a cow
and a wheelbarrow and SO on, but there
is never a snake in one of these quaint
alliances. Snakes do not do that sort OF
thing, and the anecdote designers imag
nation has not yet risen to the feat OF
compelling them, although the stimulus
of competition may soon cause it.
The case most nearly approaching one
of friendship between man and snake
known to me is the case of Tyrrell, the
zoo snakekeeper, and his ''laidly worms. "
But then the friendship is mostly on
Tyrrell's side, and, moreover, Tyrrell is
rather more than human, as any one
will admit who sees him hang boa con
strictors around his neck. OF COURSE
one often hears of boys making pets OF
common English snakes, but boy i.
not a human creature at all. He is &
kind of harpy.-Arthur Morrison in
Strand Magazine.
