 Mrs Bryan is her husbands mascot. When the Bryan boom for president was launched in Nebraska Mrs. Bryan at once decided to accompany her hus- band. With just bit If feminine su- perstition she reminded him that in every instance where she had attended assemblages in which he was interested he had won. When she remained away he always lest, and upon such occasions she invariably eomforted him in the hour of defeat.
 In the recent national committee meeting, when the Nebraska delegation contest was pending, she was not in the hotel where the case was decided. Bryan's opponents won. The next day she was a silent spectator at the Col lseum. The committees report was re- versed, and she waved her handlxer- chief with greeting of joy to the Bry- an silver delegates when the conven- tion gave them the seats which her husbands political foes occupied the preceding day
 With loyalty made eternal by love that has never faltered, she saw the dream of her life shaping itself into a reality. Her husband now had an op- portunity to address the convention She knew that in the famine of orators he would rise like giant and that the standardsFweuld soon be at his feet. She knew that if he would open his mouth the convention would do the rest.
 T will be in the crowd to-day, Will liam" she said, cheeringly, on the day her husband was nominated at Chicago Remember, l am your mascot Do your best have prayed for your nomination, and it will come if you speak to-day, as believe you will"
 Mrs. Bryan, who is a good-lookine woman of medium build and height, is few years the junior of her husband and quiet in her mannerisms. A wealth of dark brown hair frames a face of in telieetual attractiveness. Her dress is simplicity itself. She is we'll posted on the issues of the day. Her home life IS an ideal one. She cares comparative ly little for society. Devotion to her husband, children and home are her prime characteristics. Her confidence in Mir. Bryan's future has always been his guiding star.
 Mrs. Bryan is lawyer, as well as her husband, and, although she has never practieed in the courts, she has often helped him in the preparation of his cases. She possesses good judgment and quick discernment. She studied law through sheer love of companion ship for her husband, and was ad-

and pathetic, fierce or gentle. serions o, humorous with the varying emotions of its master. In his youth Bryan mrsf have had slillful teacher III eIocnt;on and must have been docile pupil. Ha adorns his speeches with illustrations from the classics or from the common occurrences of everyday life with eonal felicity and facility. Some nassao aoes rom his orations are gems and retbe- ing used as declamations by bows at school-the ultimate tribute to Anar;, can eloquence.
 But his crowning gift as an orator IS his evident sincerity. He is candor lncarnate and, thoroughly belieyino what he says himself, it is no marvel that he makes others believe.
 Bryan's first speech in the house the one on the tariff in 1S92-fxed his status as one of the crack orators of this generation. It astonished old stapers electrified the country and stimulated the ambition of every young man in the land. EnYieus carpers lugubriously pre- dIcted that he could never duplicate that far-resounding performance. thai he would be like g. wasp, biggest when

first matched, and that his congressional song would be pitched in diminuendo instead of crescendo. But he utterly confounded these jealous Cassandras by delivering a speech on silver which must forever remain as a classic in congress sional literature.
 If it did not increase his fame as much as did his initial effort, it was for the all-sufficient reason that there was not so much room for him to grow in. If Daniel Webster himself could have come back to life, he could not by 20 years of eeaseless endeavor increase his fame as an orator; for while here before he butted his lofty head against the stars. But Bryan went on to the end making speeches stronger and ever stronger, manifesting new powers every time he arose. Perhaps his later ad- dresses lacked something in efferves- cence, brilliancy and piquancy, but they grew constantly more logical, if less rhetorical"

All are magnifi- cent vessels, and as fleet are elassed superior to any other similar fleet, in one control, in the world. The last ship constructed by Mir Sewall is the Dirigo. The vessel was launched two years ago and measures 2,s56 tons. She is built of steel. and is the first steel sailing ship built in America To show in what proportion the business of the Sewall family has grown in comparison with the growth of other large busi- nesses of the country. it may be stated that the tonnage of the Indiana, launched in 1876. is 1,4ss, while that of the Roanoke, launched Is years later, is 3,4oo, nearly two and half times as great.

RICHEST MAN IN MAINE.
Arthur Sewan and His Successful
 Business Career.
An Able Man of Wide Interests and In No Sense Politician = Comes from Honorod Race
 of Shipbuilders.

Mir. Arthur Sewall, the democratic nominee for vice president, is the rich est man in Maine. His wealth is esti- mated from $2,Oo0,ooo to S3,o0o,0oo. He is a man known-to the extent that he is known in the nation-as a man of business rather than as a man of poli- tics. But while he is not and never has been politician, and while he has never sought nor held any public office, he has been none the less for many years power in democratic national councils
 "a man whose word and advice stood for New England to a greater extent, possibly, than the word and advice of any other democrat of that section of
