A bright terrier dog owned at the
American House, Pittsfeld, Mass, is
known at the, Maplewood as Billy. The
dog every Sunday morning goes to the
Maplewood and stays in the cashiers
office, but never goes away from the
American on other DAYS unless taken to
the Maplewood. Sundays, as regularly ~
that day comes, in the season, the ami
NAL takes up his early march for the
other house, remains all day and re-
turns. This he has done for the past few
seasons, and 20 regularly that the guests
at the Maplewood have become familiar
with him and his peculiaTities. Now
they are asking how the dog knows the
difference between Sunday and 9th :
days, as his visits are made before the
church bells begin to ring.-Boston

4 City of Bridges.

Few people realiz0 that Chicago to-
day possesses more bridges in number
than any other city in America Col
lectively they constitute a greater total
length in miles than any other system.
The extent of a single span of one Of
the swing bridges is greater than that
of any other bridge. Modern bridge con-
struction is embodied in and illustrated
with a greater variety of perfected
mechanical devices in Chicago than is
the case in any other city in the world.
Standing out like monuments erected
to engineering skill, to peoples enter
prise, and to mechanical perfection.
these bridges present a greater variety
of admirable features and are evidences
of better workmanship than can bo
found in the best of all the cities in
either the old or the new world.
Chicago has 6S bridges spanning the
river and its branohesat every point
where commerce and traffic demand a
passageway. There are 3S systems OF
viaducts. which bespeak as many safe-
guards for the people against the dam
gers of railroad transportation.
Represented among these 6S bridges
is to be found every description Of swing
or drawbridge which the world possess
es today that is of practical value. They
constitute within a radius Of a few
miles a congeries Of mechanical devices
which captivate the spectator with their
perfection and diversity of arrange
ments. Inter Ocean.

the democratic parade in honor
of the arrival Of Mr.. e. yam in
Chicago was passing the corner
of Michigan avenue and Mon
roe street this afternoon, sew
eral eggs were thrown at it by
young students of the Metro
politan business college. None
of the eggs came near Mr.. Bry-
an or his vile, and neither of
them knew of the episode 1ntii
after the parade was over. All
sorts of stories were current
"bout the affair, one of them
being that Mrs. Bryan was
struck with an egg, another that
her carriage was hit. Neither
of these stories were true, how
ever. The first egg thrown at
the parade was fiom a bor
standing on a sidewalk in irolt
of the Powers bu ldipg, in VIII ch
the Metropolitan business col
lege is situated.
The egg was, to all appear
ances, Thrown at the parade
generally, and not at any par
ticular individual, as it was not
hurled with any violence. A
policeman who witnessed the
act made a rush for the young
ster, who darted up the stair
way ilto the building. A sec
ond officer joined the first, and
as the two ran for the doorway
several more eggs were thrown
from the windows of the busi-
ness college. The Cook county
marching club, which was es-
corting Mr.. Bryan, received the
bombardment and several
Prince Albert coats and glossy
black tiles were spattered with
yellow. One or two eggs struck
ne sidewalk and the crowd was
decorated accordingly.
Later IN the afternoon a dele
CATION from the Cook county
democracy descended upon the
college with every symptom OF
hostility and demanded that tie
students who had done tEs
throwing be turned over to
them. They held possession OF
the college for u time and final
! ly lett without learning who
had done the throwing. The
police had no better success.
and Mr.. Powers, the owner of
the building, who is also presi-
dent of the college, said that he
did not know who had thrown
the eggs, although he admitted
that they came from students in
his institution. He was dis
& essed by the occurrence aud
declared if he knew who had
done the work he would have
no hesitancy in turning them
over 10 the police.
i Mr.. Powers late tonight of
fered a reward of $500 for the
apprehension of the persons
who threw the eggs. Chief o.
Police BaGenoch has put a doz

says he viii exhaust every ef

Mr.. Bryan arrived in Chicago
at $3.50 p. m. over the AltOI
road, and was met at the depo
by a large and enthusiast,
crowd Of admirers. The crusl
to see him was so great in tn,
} narrow space of the first foo
of tn Alton depot that the polio,
had a difficult task to proven
people from being injured. Th'

No MAN can tell today where the Democratic party will stand two months from now. One element is dragging it on to the breakers of Republicanism, while the other is steering it to the verge of Populism either of which is destructive of individual liberty and fosters a paternalism that is repugnant to patriotic instincts. When the worst has come then we may go back to the first principles of the party which made the United States free and broad and great. Fix.
 And so it is. The Democratic party seems to be between the devil and the deep blue sea. Itis kind of a damned if you do and damned if you don't arrangement. The single gold standard men are lean- ing too much toward Republican ism; the single silver standard men toward Populism.
