Mr.. Bryan's Plans for To-day.

Mr.. Bryan, as soon as he finished his

their duty. AS result OF their work.

The first work OF the blue-coated guar
dian OF the peace was at the Union
Depot. where Sergeant J. A. Cosby, of
the Second District, had charge OF a
squad OF men, who were detailed to pre-
serve order and see that the candidate
reached his carriage safely.
The officers had an easy time until the
train rolled into the great shed, and
then twice their number would have had
their hands full. but the men piloted Mr..
Bryan 20 the hack through vast crowd
that pushed and damned it's way close

long night-siicks and fought their way,
making a path from the train 10 the
vehicles.
Then they cleared the walkways
and successfully managed to get the
vast number OF carriages in line without
an accident
Recognizing the fact that there would
no doubt be "A number of crooks and
pickpockets in the city, who hoped to be
able to operate in the crowd, Major
Howard detailed Officers Werner and
Foikes, of the First District. Austin and
Wren, OF the Second and Marion. of the
Third. to report TO Chief-of-Detectives
Alex. Tomlnson yesterday morning. De-
tectiyes Gibson and Hall were on duty,

gress, and spoke briefly.
The Bryan special reached Rocky Mount
shortly before o'clock. Here the special
was abandoned, and Colonel Julian D.
Carr. of Durham and the other members
of the State Committee said good-by to
the candidate. Mr. Bryan expressed him
self as greatly pleased with the manner
in which he had been treated by his
North Carolina entertainers. who had
looked out for his comfort in every way
The special train arrangement was a
great Improvement on the manner OF Mr.
Bryans campaign progress heretofore.
The candidate remained here one and
n quarter hours. and left for Richmond
at 2I7 via the Atlantic-Coast Line.
The Rocky Mount meeting took place

CORINNE At THE ACADEMY.
She md Her Company Give an Ex-
ceIIent Performance.

Despite the counter attraction of MIR.
Bryan's speech, large house greeted
Corinne and her company in the operate
extravaganza "Hendrick Hudson. Jr.," at
the Academy OF Music last night
But little of the story of the old play,
familiar to most theatre-goers, is retain
ed in the piece as presented to-day. AL
most utterly devoid Of plot, 1t depends
entirely on its catchy music and special
ties for its success. And IL prolonged APP
plause and numerous encores count for
anything then certain Is 1t that Corinne
and her company scored a success. Being
magnificently staged, and its grouping
effects faultIess in detail. and harmony
which Is as rare as IL is pleasing. Corinne,
with a personality that Is charming and
unique, plays her part with a mixture OF
roguishness and modesty, which, added TO
her piauant manner. makes her whole per-
Torrance most charming.
The supporting honors were equally d.
vided between Misses Octavia Barbe,
Nelly Strickland. and Annie Hutchinson
while the clever speciality acts of Joseph
Cawthorn, Neil Mcneil, and John Park
were greatly above the average.
A well-trained chorus. replete in conf
dence in itself. adds smoothness and
finish to the whole. There will be after
noon and evening performances to-day.
