BERNHARpT A MODESTO.
Said That She VIII Open an Estab-
lishment in New York.

New York, Nov. THE latter part of
next week the residents of Fifth avenue
as they drive or walk down town will
stop and look with amazement at a
sign which will read Mime. Sara Bera-
hardt, Modesto
This does not mean that the divine
Sara has decided to abandon the stage
and come to New York, but does mean
that she is casting an anchor to wind
ward. The new store will be managed
for Nine. Bernhard by her niece Mile
Sarayta Bernhardt, and Mile Yette De
La Pledra- The young girls have been
in the city for some little time and have
been busily making preparations for
the opening. They now only await the
arrival of some Of their goods from
Paris before they will be ready to do
business.
Mile. De La Piedra, who speaks Eng
Ish huently, said this morning:
Yes, Nine. Sara Bernhard owns the
new store and her name will appear on
the sign and we will act as mana gers
for her. This summer Nine. Bernhard
said to us Why don't you go to Amer
lea and see the people. It is a nice
country and / have lots Of friends there
ana then she suggested to that we
go and open a high-class millinery par
Tor and she would furnish all the mon
ey. So we came here and are now busy
getting ready Nine. Bernhard will
buy for US in Paris all the latest STYLES
Of hats and send them here. Every
thing we have comes from Paris, even
our furniture.
This is a new venture for US. as
neither Of us had to work while in
Paris, but we have brought a nilliner

TELLER ON THE OUTCOME.
Says Silver Forces Have No Reason
to be Discouraged.

Denver Colo, Nov Senator Henry
NJ. Teller arrived at home from the east
yesterday. In an interview he said:
II don't think the Republican party
will do anything for silver during the
coming four years. The declaration Of
the st. Louis platform amounts to Moth
ing with a limitation put upon it. Be
sides that, the men who dictated the
St Louis platform are opposed to BIZ
metallism, internationally or otherwise
Mckinley it seems to me, has shown by
his speeches that ne would be the advo-
cate and supporter Of the gold standard
on the ground that it is a better stand
ard than bimetallism.
During the four years to come 7 ex-
pect to see the Republican party aban-
don all pretense of a desire to secure in
ternational bimetallism, and the contest
viii hereafter be made between the
gold standard supporters and the or
gaized supporters of bimetalism The
people viii be sufficiently educated to
understand the gold standard and the
1900 by the United States alone will be
successful
There is no reason why we should be
discouraged Our candidate was all we
could desire, and performed his part to
perfection We must not look back
ward, but forward
THE silver forces have a magnificent
Organiza ton, and now for the first time
the fight is transferred from the silver
states to the whole country"

IN HONOR OF MRS. LEASE.
Men Cyclers Dress in Women's Attire
and Parade the Streets.

Wheeling, w. Va, Nov. Probably
the most unique parade Of the cam
paign was that Monday night in honor
Of Mrs. Lease. Two thousand five hun
dred men were in line. dressed in fe-
male attire, and some exceedingly elab-
crate costumes were worn, while several
muItitudes Of humorous banners and
transparencies made the spectacle not
only fine one but highly picturesque
The advance was taken by 20 old
maids, attired in curl papers, nightcaps
and nightgowns, each carrying light
ed candle, and close behind was an i'm
itation young lady. representing Mrs
Lease in an elaborate white silk party
costume and white fur-trimmed opera
cloak, seated in a carriage drawn by
four horses and hanked by a body
guard of end f-the-century girls in
lknickerbockers, smoking cigarettes The
parade was the finest of the sort ever
given here and attracted the entire
population to the streets.

The Opposition viii Therefore

A MIXED CONDITION.
Gold Men Among Democrats,
Silver Among Republicans.
Seems Probable, However, That
a Tariff Could Pass.

Washington, Nov. THE next senate
1t is believed will stand:
Republicans ..-..... ....... ........ A
Democrats .-.--.-.-.-.-..- --.------- IS
Populist and Independent .......... Is
This table takes all states out of the
doubtful column. placing Kentucky and
North Carolina in the Republican col
un1n as Senator Butler said today that
a free silver Republican probably would
be returned by the fusiOnists, Della
ware in the Republican column and
Kansas and South Dakota in the indie
pendent column.
1t is difficult to estimate the exact
standing of the next senate on the
money question owing to the new align
ment Of parties in the recent campaign
Men who have been pronounced silver
men have been supporting the Republi-
can platform and candidates and pro
nounced gold men have supported the
Democratic platform and candidates
Perkins of California, WOlcOtt of Col
oradO, ShoEp Of Idaho, Carter of Mon
tana, Mitchell of Oregon, Wilson of
Washington, and Clark and Warren of
Mantana have all voted for or sup
ported silver and what course they will
now take in the senate is prOblematical.
Among the Democrats, German of Mary
land, Smith of New Jersey, Murphy of
New York, Faulkner of West Virginia,
and Mitchell Of Wisconsin, all have VO-
ted against silver and yet supported
the Democratic party in this campaign
AS no free coinage bill possibly could
pass the house this fact would influence
voting in the senate especially in the
shape of a rider to a tariff bill. The
probability is that on a free coinage
amendment to a tariff bill, all of the a
Republicans would vote against it, and
possibly some Democrats, such as CAT
fiery of Louisiana, Gray Of Delaware,
and Lindsay of Kentucky, who bolted
the Chicago platform, and perhaps even
some of those who supported Mr. Bryan
during the campaign. 1t is also not I'M
likely that some of the Republican SEN
atOrs who bOlted the Republican plat
form might take a position which would
permit a tariff bill in which their con-
stituents are largely Interested, because
of wool, lumber and lead.
Senator Faulkner, Democrat, of West
Virginia, said the silver men, by stand
ing solidly with the Democrats, could
prevent tariff legislation Butler, on
the other hand, said that he and others
of the POpulists would support the right
kind of a tariff bill. but not q. measure
like the Mckinley bill.
Mr.. Butler wants adequate protection
on raw materials

FRESH AIR IN THE SENATE
New System of Ventilation by Pipes
Just Completed

Washington, Nov. IF the members
of the United States senate find fault
with the temperature and ventilation Of
their quarters at the National Capitol
in the future it will not be because
Architect Edward Clark and his eff
Gent superintendent Elliott Woods
have not made an earnest effort during
vacation time to please them
Before congress adjourned last June
it appropriated $4,000 for a new ventil-
ating system in the senate chamber be
sides new floors for the room and gal
Ier1es and new furniture This has
practically been completed, and only
slight details remain to be finished. In
regard to the work Superintendent
Woods said yesterday:
The old ventilaGng system devised
by Gen. Meiggs for the senate chamber
has been removed and new and i'm
proved system of the same kind has re-
placed it, under plans prepared by Prof
S. H. Woodbridge. The horizontal
gratingS on the floor. which supplied air
have been taken out and now part of
the air will pass through the legs of
the senator's desks besides the iron graf
ing in front of the steps, in front of the
presidents desk and also in the CALLER
les. All of the old benches have been
removed from the galleries and have
been replaced with opera chairs. having
ventilating legs. These will supply air
which viii envelop the body of the Occu-
pant. The movement of air is SO slight
and the movement the same every
where in the chamber that no evil eff
fects viii be caused by it. It goes out
at the ceiling and through the roof The
constant rising of pure air from the
floor and the exit of the impure air from
the roof viii, it is expected, keep the
senate chamber perfectly ventilated.
In addition to these there are many
new lights to be placed in various parts
of the building. Under the old gas light
system the heat above the senate and
house ceiling. when the gas lights were
burning, reached the tempera ture of
boiling, which was very destructive to
the building. This intense heat will be
removed by electric lights"

WILL BE NO BOOM.
Bradstreet Says No Extraordinary
Business Improvement is Antici-
pated

New York, Nov. 7.-BradStreet' says:
Business was practically suspended
throughout the country early this
week and there has been little increase
in the volume since the election com
pared with like periods in previous
weeks. But manufacturers and lob
bers are more inclined to purchase in
advance instead of for nearby wants
only, and in a few lines, notably wool,
cotton, iron and steel, a larger volume
of purchases is reported. That mer-
chants generally share the confidence
in an early revival is indicated by hard
ening staple prices and the increase in
quotations in addition to those given
in preceding weeks.
Sales of cotton goods have been freer
and wooden dealers report more orders.
Numerous industrial esta blishments
which have started up within two days
report being offered large orders if they
would sell Immediately at present
prices Many Rhode Island manufac-
turers report preparations for a larger
output than anticipated and that or
ders, contingent on election results not
are now being filed. Owing to the
lateneSs of the season few have regard
ed the outlook as promising much in
the nature of a boom during the cur
rent year At a few northwestern COM
mercial centers large orders have been
received from country merchants with
in a few days and in Georgia farmers
have met their obligations by autumn
southern merchants and manufac turers
are reported looking ahead confidently
to a marked Improvement in business
in the near future.
Total exports of wheat (hour incIud-
ed from both coasts of the United
States and from Montreal this week
amount to 3,472, 600 bushels. against g.,
62S 900 bushels last week, 1855, 600 bush
els in the week one year ago, 2,S13, 600
bushels three years ago. as compared
with 3. ss5000 bushels in the correspond
ing week in 1892. Exports of Indian
corn amount to 2,247, 600 bushels this
week nearly twice as much as in the

$4,000 Strong Adding New Names.
st. Louis, Nov THE workingmen' $
Bryan club Of st. Louis does not intend
to abandon the fight for silver begun in
the heat Of the presidential campaign
now just closed 1t proposes, instead,
TO effect permanent organization and
make its influence felt in local political
circles for the next four years, keeping
up the agitation Of the money question
and entering the next presidential cam
paign with that issue paramount
In line with this determination, a
meeting Of the executive committee of
the club has been called for o'clock to-
night in the club headquarters at 604
Market street, at which meeting pre-
the organization of a central body.
whose duty DC shall be to map out and
direct a four years campaign for silver
IN which the Workingmen's club viii be
the vitahzing influence. The deepest in
terest is felt in tonight's meeting, and
its action is anXiously awaited by the
1900 members of the club.
One Of the most important features of
the developments sure to follow this
permanent organization is that the
WOrkingmen thus organized have re-
solved upon taking an active part in To-
cal elections and its central body will
be instructed and duly authorized to
act in accordance with this policy.
AS an evidence that the sentiment for
silver has not been affected by the re-
suit of Tuesdays election, President
Frank a. Hill of the Workingmen' club
reports that since the election he has
received between 100 and 200 appIica-
tons for membership in the club.
