and also by Public Printer Benedict of
Washington.
Mr.. Bryan has gained flesh and is in
high spirits, inspired particularly by
the approaching meeting with Senator
Hill, Chairman Hinckley and other
Democratic leaders which. he expects,
will result in assurances politically of
the solid support of the state organiza-
ton.
Much of the time the past three or
four days has been spent by Bryan
working on his letter of acceptance. It
will.not be so long as his Madison square
speech. It Will not - given to the pub
lie until McKlnley's acceptance is pub
lished.

Catskills, several miles from the Hud-
son. The hosts tonight are Chairman
Hinckley Of the Democratic state COM
mittee, Public Printer Benedict Of

politicians in it's membership. MIR.
Hinckley said the invitation extended
to Mr.. Bryan was purely personal one,
and that no political significance could
be attached to the visit. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan were entertained by Mr.. Bene-

Strong climaxes are the rule, and as pro-
duced by the Frawley company, it created
a decided sensation. The play will soon be

FIGHT WITH HYENAs.-The spectt
tors of the Barnum & Bailey street pa.
rade at Bridgeport, Conn.,, Saturday
witnessed thrilling fight between four
hyenas and their keeper The cage
containing the beasts and Earlo North
rup, the keeper, was swinging from
State into Main street when the trouble
occurred. The largest of the animals
had been ugly all the morning. The
brute sprang for him and the keeper
turned in time to meet him full in the
face with his loaded whip. The injur.
ed animal renewed the attack and one
of the others joined in. The two re-
manning beasts took no part in the at.
tack, but their running about inter-
fered with the keeper, who was raining
blows on his assailants. Suddenly the
brave fellow was seen to fall to the
floor and the crowd thought he was
lost. He regained his feet and finally
had the beasts groveling at his feet.
T. q keeper was assisted from the cage
completely exhausted.

SHE SPANKED THE BURGLAR

DIE 81 aNhCD TlE OhObhRs
An encounter with burglar took
place Saturday night on the premises,
No. 1929 Columbia street, Washington,
in which he lost large section of the
rear part of his trousers, was unmerci-
fully mauled with slat from fence,
and was eventually pitched head over
heels into the street.
Mrs Dickinson, who lives with Mrs.
Jennie r. Moore at the premises named
is woman of grit, nerve, resolution
and muscle. 1t was this lady who ad-
ministered the drubbing to the marau-
der single handed, and all through the
fight acted in such a way that the burg
lar industry will languish for some time
to come in her fashionable neighbor-
hood.
About o'clock Saturday night Mrs.
Moore ard Mrs. Dickinson were sitting
in the font parlor. Mrs. Dickinson
bad some reason to make visit to the
kitchen. When she entered to her i'm
mense surprise there stood colored
man, who had no business there except
as burglar.
Mrs. Dickinson took iu the situation
at once. She did not scream or run
away. On the contrary, sue advanced
on the intruder, who must have bee n
raralyzed by the fact that q woman vas
on the defensive.
He practically surrendered, but after
thinking it over he broke away and
made bee line for the back door OF
the kitchen. The steps are steep, lead.
ing down into the yard. He dashed
down st break neck speed, crossed
the yard, but did not reckon on pursuit
On the contrary, Mrs. Dickinson,
knowing she had good thing, wanted
to keep it. She followed the flying
burglar, who lost no time in vaulting
upon the fence. Just as he reached tn"
top Mrs Dickinson laid heavy hand
on the part of his apparel on which he
has been in the habit Of sitting down.
It was uphill work with the burglar,
who struggled to escape from the firm
grasp, but in vain. Mrs. Dickinson
quietly reached for piece of the fence
which was providentially at hand. She
hit him aud hit him again until nearly
all of her strength was exhausted. Then
she gave him final blow which fired
him over the fence. He lit on his head
on the other side and then Mrs. Dick
inson found that she had part of the
burglars trousers in her left hand.
This section the "pants" was handed
over to Officer Rickels, who took it to
the Second precinct, where it may as
sist in the Identification Of the burglar.
He will also be known from the strips
on his back which were made by the re-
peated strokes of that handy piece of
fence.
Mrs. Dickinson reported the matter
to the police officers, but at the last re-
ports it was thought that the intruder
could not be caught except by police
man on creased bicycle.
