tory at Tampa, shot himself at 10 O'Clock
Monday morning, in the presence OF the
$50 workingmen. When he mounted the
platform, instead of reading, he address

not paid him enough of late to support
his family, and that he could live no long

he had tried to live an honest life and
provide for his family, but he had of late

it is said, five children in Havana. He
was SO years old, and had been reader
in the factory for a year. The factory
closed for the remainder of the day.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 6.-The fight
ing cruiser Brooklyn, the newest adj
dition to the United States Navy
was towed from Cramps shipyard
to League Island Navy Yard to-day
where she was formally placed in
commission.
The white cruiser received an ova
ton as she proceeded down the Del
aware past the docks and shipping
of this city. Blowing of whistles
ringing of bells and the shouts o.
thousands gathered on the boats and
docks marked her progress.
After the eommandant at the ma
Wy yard, Commodore Howell had
taken possession FOR the United
States Government, Captain F, A
Cook, Commodore Howell and ships
officers gathered on her deck and
went through the ceremonies which
formally placed the ship in commits
sion. The flag of the Union was run
up at her mast head, the sailors were
lined up for salute to their com.
mander, and the Brooklyn was q
part Of the Navy. 1t is expected that
all will be in readiness to sail in
about two weeks.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than IL hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $1,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendOus
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is a grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page photographs, from especial
engravings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free

FOR A BRILLIANT INAUGURAL.
Military Display to Serve as Warning
to Foreign Powers.

In the Inauguration of William Nc
Kinley Washington will witness the
greatest Military demonstration since
the grand review at the close
of the civil war. II is customary
at the Inauguration OF President oil
the United Statates for all the states
having organized militia to be repre-.
sented by troops in the parade from
the Capitol TO the White House. With
the exception OF the states of Penn
sylvania, New York. Ohio and Illinois
the contingents from the various
states have heretofore been small.
This year, however, the conditions
are different. The prospect OF trouble
with foreign power will serve TO aug
ment the national spirit. The desire
of patriotic Americans to make dis.
play which will convince European
powers that the nation which brooks
war with this country will be under
taking very large contract, will not
be discouraged by the officers Of the
government should there be any occa-
sion for such a demonstration when
the day OF Inauguration rollsaround.
That the disposition exists at present
to give manifestation of the coun-
try's military strength on the occasion
of the Inauguration is evident from the
extensive preparations that the local
committee on arrangements is making
for quartering troops that are likely
to come.

BRYAN ON THE ELECTION.
The Result, He says is tempe rary De-
feat but ftsuRnt Gair for the
Cause al Bimefel.iSm

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.--In the De
cember number of the ''North Amer
lean Review" published to-day, w.
J. Bryan has an article, in which he
discusses the result of the election ms
affecting the status of the silver
question The issue on which the
election turned he describes as "the
greatest issue ever submitted to the
American people in time of peace"
The declaration of the Chicago con-
vention in favor of the free coinage
OF silver forced upon the people Of
this country study of the money
question in generals and within the
last four months more people have
been simultaneously engaged in its
consideration than ever before in the
history of the world. The result Of
this study Mr.. Bryan declares to be
temporary defeat but permanent
gain for the cause of bimetallism.
Mr.. Bryan regards it as signifi-
cant fact that the silver sentiment
was strongest where the question
had been longest considered; that il
to say in the west and south. In
Mr.. Bryan's opinion the cause of hi
metallism made more rapid progress
than any cause ever made in such
short time. He expresses his assur-
ance that the election can be by no
means regarded as conclusive set
Element of the question at issue. The
/ a1t n Of trca rAsvx no
WINGED, he says, that they are labor
ing in behalf of large majority Of
the people, not only here, but through
out the world, and according to the
writer they propose to continue their
contest, confident that four years
more of experience will convince
many who have thus far resisted ar
guments.
This confidence, Mr.. Bryan says,
is confirmed by the history of re-
cent elections. Mr.. Greeley was de
feated in 1872, and yet Mr. Tilden
was elected in 1876. Mr.. Blaine was
defeated in 1884, but Mr.. Harrison
was elected in 1888. The Republi-
can victory of 1888 was followed by
the Democratic victory of 1890 and
the election of President Cleveland
two years later.
Mr. Bryan counsels the successful
party to remember that thousands
Of Republicans have been held TO
their party this year by the pledge
that it will try to secure information
bimetallism. In reference to the
gold standard Democrats, Mr.. Bry-
an feels assured that they cannot do
as much in 1900 as they have done
this year. They have declared their
affection for Democratic principles
while they spared no effort to secure
the success of the opposing ticket.
"They cannot" he says disguise
themselves again"

HUNGRY FOR The OFFICES
A Remarkable Scramble for Posi-
tions Among Republicans.
Governor Elect Atkinson Besieged by
Callers and Letters-Receiyes Hun
dred Applications Day.

If some such miracle as the multi
plication Of the loaves and fishes, were
to be performed upon the public posi-
tions, great and small, within this
State, it might be possible to satisfy
the hordes of hungry office-seekers who
axe now making life burdensome for
i tne average successful candidate. The
bidding for political plums is very
spirited, and with an average of not
less than one hundred applicants for
each important position, it is extreme
ly probable that there will be some
soreness after announcements have
been duly made. Every district politi-
clan who can command in any degree
that indefinable something called sin
fuence," appears to be willing to serve
the state or nation in some capacity.
Some of them are backed by yards of
petitions, photographed sketches,
etc.
Governor-elect George Wesley Atkin-
son is one of the bright lights around
which an army of political gnats are
buzzing. Ever since, and even before
it was ascertained that a majority of
the voters of the state had united upon
Mr.. Atkinson as their choice for Gov
ernor, he has been besieged with Office
seekers. He has made no effort to do
anything but to listen, with all the
courtesy which sorely tried patience
has left him. to the claims and APP
peals for recognition from the faithful
throughout the State. Since the first
week in November, his mail has as
sumed alarming proportions, and he
found it necessary to employ two Ste
nographers to attend to his cores
pondence. During one of his rare
breathing spells, he talked to re-
porter:
| 81 receive on an average one hundred
letters day from persons who want to
be appointed to office, and from all
parts of the State" he said. II have
only nine appointments which | make
direct, but l appoint the various
State Boards, which control several
hundred positions. Most of the appli-
cants are for places under the Boards.
All | can do in answering these letters
is to inform the applicants that they
must write to the respective Boards
which | shall appoint, and as to whose
action relative to filling the different
positions l can have no knowledge, ae
matter of course. For each of tbs
nine positions which l shall fill by ap-
pointment, there are about one hum
bred candidates.
Then the Governor elect mopped
the perspiration from his brow, and
turned to run through another batch
of letters. The nine offices which he
will I'LL by appointment are Secretary
of State, Warden of the Penitentiary
two Mine inspectors, State Bank Ex-
aminer Commissioner of Labor, Adju-
tant General, and State Librarian.
There are 900 applicants for these
places; 891 of them will be disap-
pointed, and they are still coming in.

fidelity had any weight or if the truth
of the assertion that without the

was thrown in the balance the color
ed man might get some recognition
at the hands of the President elect.
