BRYAN AND M'KINLEY's CHANCES

The London Times is wise enough TO
say that the chances of the Democra tic
and Republican candidates-Bryan and
Mckinley, are about even.
This, h9wever. is important. if for no
other reason than II shows that the
Times has changed Its opinion. But
then it is not so much that any very
great prize is set upon the opinion, as
the cause which has brought about the
change of opinion. lie, us see what
that Is. Up 10 a short while ago the
Times had nothing to say, but ridicule
OF Bryan. 1t thinks now, however.
that the candidate has shown great tact
and Judgment in some of his moves and
expressions. and that he stand: better
before the people than when first nomi-
mated. In the beginning the Times
opinion was inspired by its New Yo,i,
correspondent. who allowed himself To
be stuffed" hence The ridicuie. OF
late II has been recelveing impartial
communications on the American s!.ua

A STRONG LETTER


MARION, ALA, April 3, 1896.
Mr.. Jas. NJ Hutsoll,
Columbus, Mss,
DEAR SIR:-At a special commu-
nication of Temple Lodge No. 425,
"A. F. & A. NJ, held in their hall in
Marion, Ala, on Wednesday, April
p, 1896, a committee was appointed
to communicate with you for the
purpose Of expressing to you the
sincere and most heartfelt thanks Of
Temple Lodge No. l25, for your
great kindness to our deceased
brother, Clarence Crenshaw, who
departed this life in your city on
Tuesday morning last. In the
bright noontide of life, and in the
beauty and strength Of perfect man
hood, that mysterious and invinci-
BILE foe before whose power all that
is mortal must succumb, met him
on life's highway and in a strange
land and among strangers his eyes
were closed in dreamless slumber.
It was but a few days ago that he
left us in perfect health and with
firm and elastic step, and we little
thought when we parted with him,
that even then the shadows of the
spirit land we're falling around him,
and that the pale seal of death
would 50 soon be stamped upon his
brow, or that before mIoI sua..asisn
again on his ear would n
the solemn words, "Dust thou art
and unto dust must thou return. "
With bowed heads and sad hearts
we have borne him to the city Of
the dead, and amid the beautiful
and impressive ceremonies Of our
order we have laid him down to his
last long sleep. While the flowers
that bloomed in beauty around his
home and under the blue skies that
gave him birth, and which loving
hands have placed on his grave, are
waiting their fragrance around US,
we turn aside from other duties to
extend to you the grateful and tear
ful thanks of our Lodge for your
great kindness to our dead brother,
who, far from those who loved him
and among strangers, laid ife's
burden down, and whose spirit we
hope has entered within the portals
of the 'House not made with hands
eternal in the Heavens.
Very resp'y yours,
