sBWAL1 LOYAL TO BRYAN.
But He Has No Intention of HfthdraSc-
ing From the Ticket.

ing From the Ticket.
CHICAGO, I'LL, Sept. 3.-Several days
ago Chairman Jones of the Democratic
Committee wrote Arthur Sewall stating
that many Democrats throughout the
country, and especially throughout the
West, were Directing to fusion with the
Populists on the electoral tickets for the
reason that they do not wish to be disloyal
to Mr.. Sewall. In reply to Senator Jones
Mr.. Sewall forwarded the following copy
of letter written to Mr.. Bryan:
BATH, Me-, July 25, 1896.
Hon. W. J. Bryan, Lincoln, Nebr.-MY DEAR
Mr.. BRYAN: In view of the action of the st.
Louis convention to-day cannot refrain from
giving you my thought on the situation. My
adyices are that you have been nominated for
President and Mr.. Watson for Vice-President.
] also learn through press dispatches that you
are somewhat undecided whether you ought
to accept or decline. Now, desire to say to
YOU with the utmost frankness and good feel
ing, that you must not allow any personal con-
sideration for me TO influence you in your
action.
1 desire that you will do just what you be-
lieve is best for the success OF the head
of the ticket The principles we are
lighting for are so paramount to any personal
considerat lions that the latter should not have
any weight or influence whatever in your ac-
ton. cannot for moment allow myself to
be factor in any action on your part that
would in the slightest degree hazard an cleo
toraI vote for you.
With kind regards to Mrs. Bryan, and be-
lieve me your sincere friend,
ARTHUR SEwALL.
Chairman Jones, referring to the above
letter, said: 1.-The talk about the retire.
ment of our candidate for Vice President
is too absurd to be seriously considered
Mr.. Sewall's letter, written just after the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan by the ST. Louis
convention, is a splendid illustration of
his loyalty to his associate on the Demo-
cratic National ticket. He sees no embar-
assment whatever in Mr.. Bryan's nomina-
ton for President by another party and
upon another ticket, but believes it to be
an important step toward certain victory
for the same cause. 1t is a complete
answer to the efforts of the gold Democrats
to create the impression that Mr.. Sewall
will retire under any circumstances. TO say
that the Democratic party and the Ma
tional organization are just as loyal to Mr..
Sewail as he himself Is to Mr.. Bryan and
the great cause of the common people,"

NEGROES At ANNAPOLIS.
Little Likelihood That the CoIored IN

Little Likelihood That the CoIored Ap-
Plioants VAL Be Admitted.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 3.-The
examinations of the newly appointed
Naval Academy cadets began to-day.
Eighty-eight candidates reported, but
neither of the two negro lads, whose ap-
pointment has created such sensation,
is present. One of them, named Wheeler.
was appointed by Chicago Congressman.
The California lads name Is Jackson, but
the Navy Department absolutely refuses
to name the representative who appointed
either of them.
Admiral Ramsay was especially sur
prised at the report of the appointments.
He anticipated trouble among the cadets
should the colored candidates meet all re-
ouirements and be admitted, but saws
that the white boys will be made to suffer
if they show the least signs of rebelline
against the colored youths, or attempt in
any way 10 treat them differently from
their white classmates. The colored boys
he states, are entitled under the law to
equal treatment with the white, and will
receive it from the academy staff. He
however, regrets that they should have
been appointed in the first instance.
Captain Cooper is known to be an excel
lent disciplinarian and will not counte.
nance any conduct tending to infringe on
the regulations or laws governing the ad.
ministration of the institution. Any white
cadet who may attempt to haze, "run" OF
otherwise annoy the colored youths will
unquestionably suffer serious conse
quences.
Admiral Ramsay this evening, in dis
cussion of the phase presented by the ap.
pointment of the two boys, stated thai
several years ago a colored boy entered
Annapolis from Baltimore, but that his
identity was lot discovered for several
months, and this by an accident. The boy
however, failed to meet requirements and
was dismissed. Not many years ago g
cadet was graduated at the Annapolis
academy, who was generally believed to
be colored, although he strenuously de-
MED the allegation. The young man COM
pleted the four years course, stood high in
his class and then resigned.
An officer in the medical department
makes a very significant comment. "These
Young men are not yet cadets at the
academy" he says. "They have not yet
passed their physical examinations, and
have yet to undergo one ordeal, which is q
source of constant defeat to the ambition
of colored boys eager to enter the academy.
1t is the eye, which in the negro is seldom
found to be up to the requirements de-
manded by the academy.

Harry Pollitt, chief engineer of the
Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire
Railway company, who is inspecting the
railroads of this country, said the other
day:
II have refused heretofore to be in
terviewed, but will say came over for
the purpose of studying the practical
workings of your railroads, and have
gained much valuable information. The
main features, of course, of your sys-
TENS is the vastness and the ability of
your managers to arrive at results
economically.
Without wishingSto discriminate, L
must give the palm to the Pennsylvania
and the New York Central. l was par
ticularly impressed with the nicely of
detail of the Pennsylvania and the close
ness with which English methods have
been adopted and in some instances i'm
proved. Your principal advantage over
us is the superior education and intelli-
gence of your employees, and to that
must be attributed much of your sue
cess in economy of management.
81 consider you are behind us in the
block system, as you leave too much to
human nature, instead of mechanical
device, and then do not follow our rule
of having q certain factor of safety,
in insisting upon having train after
leaving a block travel a certain distance
before another can enter it. We have
by that means double check.
GAS regards comparisons of engines
I distinctly hold that ours are superior
in finish and durability; you certainly
develop extraordinary power, but we
are limited to size, having to build 10
comotives two feet lower and of consid-
cradle less width, on account of tun-
nels. We have to get maximum of
power into minimum of space.
"By the way, you have the advantage
of having far better malleable iron than
we. Your large stations are exceeding
ly fine and well arranged, but your way
stations would not satisfy the require
ments of our public. Taking your sys-
TENS as whole, they are marvellous ex-.
amples of energy, ingenuity and abil-
ity"

HIS THIRD SET OF TEETH.
Aged Buffalo Resident Makes Surprising
Discovery.


William Holmlund, of AGA South Di-
vision street, Buffalo, N. Y, who is "A
years old, is cutting his third set of
teeth. Mr.. Holmlund is well known on
the east side and in business circles, be-
ing a retired wall paper merchant. He
is a native of Sweden, but has lived in
this country and in Buffalo for many
years. Up to eight years ago Mr.. Holm
lund had the use of his second set of
teeth. He had a number left, but they
had passed the stage of practical use
fitness. He got along as best he could
for a couple of years, then had the re-
naming teeth extracted, and a set of
false ones made. About two weeks ago
Ia. Gums beran to annoy him. They
were sore along the edges, both on tne
upper and on the lower jaw. He Thought
his false teeth were the cause of the
soreness, that they had set up an irri-
tation which would pass away in day
or two. BE did without his artificial
teeth for few days, but the soreness,
instead of abating, increased.
One morning last week, when the
septuagenarian arose, his gums were so
sore that he could not refrain from talk
ing small mirror and examining the
interior of his mouth. With the glass
he made discovery that amazed him.
1t also amused him, although it panied
him. Protruding slightly from the mid
die of his upper gum was a neat, white
tooth. Mr.. Holmlund dressed and broke
the news to the family. They would not
believe until they had seen. Their ex-
animation revealed that there were
others, but they were not through, al
though close to the surface. Each day
since then new teeth have been appear
ing on both the upper and the lower
jaws, and Mr.. Holmlund is now the pos
SCISSOR of half a dozen brand new teeth.
One on the lower jaw is so far developed
that its owner is able to use it.

PEcULlARlTlEs OF MlLLIoNAIRES
Use Halfpenny Stamps and Have Poor
Dinner.

Use Halfpenny Stamps and Have Poor
Dinner.
I have been asked whether l ever re-
ceive social invitations from million
aires in open envelopes, with halfpen-
ny stamps, and what l think of the
practice on the part of the millionaires,
says London Truth. 1t is not often that
1 am privileged to receive invitations
from millionaires under any circum-
stances, but it is a remarkable fact that
I have had such an invitation addressed
to me at the halfpenny rate of postage,
and as others have had a similar ex-
perience / suppose that millionaires as
a class have a weakness for halfpenny
postage stamps. Probably this weak
ness has something to do with their
having become or remained million
aires.
A worse failing on the part of mil
lionaires of which have experience is
that they occasionally ask their friends
to dinner and sit them down to a meal
quite unfit to eat. Personally, I would
rather that man took halfpenny off
the postage of my invitation and spent
it on the dinner. So far as the invita-
ton is concerned, there may possibly
DO many people who, when invited to
the houses of millionaires, would wish
the fact widely known and would pre-
fer, IL possible, that the invitation
should be sent on a postcard, so thatall
who run may read. Perhaps it is from
this kindly motive rather than from
parsimony that millionaires pat1onize
the halfpenny post. Let us think as
well Of Dives as we can.
