 Averaging Nearly rwesty-ons Ksots-
 BOSTON, Aug. s5.-The Brooklyn was given preliminary trial under forced draft over the official course between Cape Ann and Cape porpolse yesterday. The average speed for tho round trip of Ss knots was 90 a7 knots an hour, vory sat. isfactory performance, all things consider. cd. The contract calls for n speed of 20 knots an hour In run of four consecutive hours For each quarter knot above this . speed premium of S5o, GOO is allowed the builders. It Is believed that on the ofi- cial trial tomorrow n speed of 2ih knots will be recorded, in which event the ship will earn for the Cramps the handsome bonus of $500, 900. Tho conditions of wind and sea were absolutely perfect for the trial. There was only slight hrcese blow ing, and the water was as smooth as glass. On the trip up the oourse with the tide against the ship, the distance of ti V knots wns accomplished at the rate of eo.ee knots an hour. exactly tho speed of the cruiser New York on her preliminary trial over tho samc course four years Ago. With. out stacking speed, the Iirooklyn made N wide turn and started back on ese second leg of the race On this trip tho engineers were able to get more speed out of hcr, tho hNeThRn helnk &As 50 huhAt hh HNAE AhAN brought the mean average for the round trip up to 2o.a7 knots an hour, or trife less than ai knots m hour
 Tho course Is divided into six stretchcs, averaging nearly seven knots each In lcngth. Can buoys are used for markers. and between two of these at tho upper end of the course on the down trip. the ship was spccdcd m to an average ot 22 knots for distance of seven knots. For about two miles the average was s2ss knots
 This grcat speed was accomplished un- der circumstances thnt were cminently satisfactory both to the representatives of the Cramps and the naval oificcrs on board. The engines worked beautifully, not a drop of water being used on tho bearings. The highest number of revolutions was i35 a minute. but the average was less than i80. This average can be exoccded by at least five revolutions minute, and fl tho Brooklyn does this on tho official trial tomorrow the speed ought to bs at least 2i ls knots an hour.

He was escorted by Messrs. Chase and Pratt, Recorder James Mathews, Postmaster Woods and Collector John F. Masterson. Senator Hill was not there. Mir. Chase, in introducing the ora tor, had but few words, saying:
 "'This is plain meeting for the plain people, where there is to be no fuss and no feathers. There Is but one man you wish to see, but one man you wish to hear. I have the honor to introduce him to you the Democratic candidate for president of the United States. the Hon. William J. Bryan of Nebraska"
 Mir. Bryan spoke at some length. pre- senting with clearness and force the free coinage arguments, and concluded by say ing:
 'I appeal to you to join with us If your judgments sustain that action, in trying to bring back to the people monetary system which they had and would have nau until uoW Uut lor ltS oeluS stEuSh down in the night without discussion be- fore tho American people. When this has been accomplished, other things will be possible Until this is accomplished, no other thing Is possible"
 At the conclusion of the speech Mir Bryan and his party took the train on their westward journey.

Bryan at New York's Capital.

ALBANY, Aug. 26.-The second day of Bryan's trip westward from the seolusion of Red Hook was an eventful one, crowd I'd with variety of incidents of travel, including picturesque reception at a summer hotel, a stirring speech to a crowd of workingmen at the town of Kingston and eliminating in great meeting at Al bany, where the candidate spoke to a crowd estimated at from 1000 to 10, 900 people, packed in the City Hall square, under the shadow of the statehouse.
 Before this demonstration MA and Mrs. Bryan sat down to a dinner with Senator Hill and prominent Albany Democrats at the senator's magnificent home, titled Wolfert's Roost, whither they were driven directly from the depot on their arrival in this city. Those who met the candidate and his wife at Mir. Hills much discussed dinner were Supreme Court Judge D. Ca- dy Herrick and wife, Louis W. Pratt, the collector of customs, and wife; Norton Chase, chairman of the city Democratic c-mniittee, which, with other local organ nations, had the meeting in charge For nearly three hours Mir. Bryan was the guest of the New York senator and party leader. and, although every participant in i the dinner averred that it was purely a social affair." their descriptions were taken with a grain of salt, it being the general l impression that an understanding was ! reached which will insure to Mir. Bryan i the support of the party organization in ] the state.

Clinton Beokwith, a prominent citizen of Herkimer, had an ankle sprained, Mir. Charles Black, a trav cling salesman of Rome, a leg broken, and several others were badly bruised and cut, but no one seriously injured. Mir. Bryan was standing just upon the line of cleavage, and when he saw the floor sink ing and men sliding toward the edge he jumped with great oelerity to the solid seo- tion. The cracking of timbers and terri fled shrieks of women created much com motion, and there was almost panic, but quiet was soon restored, and Mir. Bryan continued his speech. On the trip from Albany to this oity stops were made at the principal stations. Mir. Bryan was cordially received by large assemblies along the line and made short addresses at most of the stopping places.

 The space at the head of the staircase was filled with a palm 80 feet tall, at the base of which was grouped a mass of sum- mer blossoms The large fireplace, direct ly opposite was filled with cut flowers The decorations in the dining room, where the wedding breakfast was served, were not profuse.

WHY DO WE DOlTf

Perhaps some sage can tell me, for, indeed, I'd like to know Tho secret of the titles that hear where'er go. There's Brown. who studied medicine, attain ing some renown, Whose wife I hear referred to now as Mrs. Dr. Brown" What reason for the custom can the wise ones give to mel Why not as well refer to her as Mrs. Brown, NJ. pr" Because O'Shea is on the bench why should we always say. In speaking of his charming wife, 'There's Mrs. Judge OSheaf" Is she judge by marriagef Was she welded to the courtY There should be some good reason why the title she should sport. If one should wed justice, pray advise me, would she be Entitled to be known by all as ''Mrs. Jones, J.P.f' If not, what reason can we give for speaking we do Of ''Mrs Major Csnnonball'' or ''Mrs. Bishop Pews" Do titles go to families for use of ev'ry onef And if they do, why aren't they used by daugh- ter and by sonf Why not Miss Lieutenant Sharpf' Why not junior toof At least let's be consistent in the things we try to do.
