FRIDAY AND OTHER BRYAN oMENs
Nominated on the FatefuI Day, Oc-
cuDies Room 13, and Left Chicago
July I3.
From the Chicago TFihune

July I3.
From the Chicago Tribune
If there is anything in omens William
Jennings Bryan would seem TO he on the
unlucky side. Not only did HIS nomination
happen on Friday. but he was assigned to
and occupied room No. .lS at the clifton
house during convention week. He also
took another room, No. 80, when Mrs.
Bryan arrived here, but he nevertheless
hung on to No. 1S, as long as he remained
in the city.
It is a curious fact too. in this counec-
ton. as Illustrating the extent to which
number 10 has entered into his life here,
that he left the city for his former home
at Salem, in this state, on The 18th day of
the month. ,H -. ..
1t may be that,AIr. Bryan in defiance
of time-honored superstition looks upon
13 as an omen Of good, rather than in.
fortune Either that or there will be many
who viii see in this commingling of num-
Der Is and Friday evidences of disaste
awaiting the ambitious Young Nebrasa
kan. qs f7FtW -a-ffr
1t is probably the fact, however that he
had more fun for his money than any Of
the other visitors during convention
week, for his bill at the. Clifton house for
both himself and Mrs. Bryan amounted
to only S43.50. .1yt rtr
A few DAYS after his arrival he handed
Mr. Kohler "a package of bills amounting
to $780, with the request that he place it
in the Office safe. This was done, and on
the day of his departure he walked up
to the cashiers window and asked for his
bill, at the same time calling for the $50
and expressing the hope that 1t was swiii-
cient to square his account.
He was told by Clerke KOhler that it
was more than enough, and when ne was
handed a receipted bill and $3.50 he said
with much satisfaction
IF there is any other man who can
come here and get the presidential nomi-
nation and only pay a hotel bill of $3.50
I would like to find him"
The remark was overheard by several
men who were standing near, and
laugh was raised by one Of them saying:
1T once cost me $500 to try to get the
nomination for governor"
Mr.. Bryan Joined in the laugh and turn
ing said to the speaker:
Perhaps 1t was cheaper to lose the
$500 than to get the nomination.

CHARITIES or MILLIoNAIREs.
Some Who Give LavishIy and 9th
ers Not at All.

From the New YORK Press.
The quietest, most unobtrusive, gentlest
and least known of our many millionaires
is John D. Rockefeller. / believe he has
an office somewhere on the sixth floor Of
the Standard oil building, al the foot Of
Broadway, but there is no name on tho
door no sign of where he is, and strang-
er has hard work finding him. 1t may be
fear Of bombs that keeps him In seclusion.
He has hundred fgureheads in the vast
qualifications Of his business. His con-
nection with the workaday world is
through them. They are as so many elec-
trio buttons He says to one do this and
he doeth It,, and TO another do that and
Il Is done. He does not care for people
to know him. He makes no show Of him-
self. He can walk from the Rector street
station Of the elevated road or that a {
Ba ttery place to his office without being
recognized.
What shall I give? How shall I give?
To whom shall / give? When shall give2
are the four questions that millionaires
ask themselves. They are not easily am
swered Most millionaires DO give, Giving
enables them TO appease conscience. In
the last twelve years Rockefeller Is said
to have given away nearly 100000 900
Eight years ago he was unable to tell
how much he was worth. In court ne
said he could not come within sl0GWW0 Of
it, At that time il was estimated that
$40 600 900 was about the right figure. His
fortune has been increasing at the rate Of
SO, 100000 or s12000,000 annually since, so
that to-day it is probably $220,OO00O0 or
s2SG.0OO,OO0 Being a good churchman and
a devoted and loyal Baptist, he lives up
to the Biblical injunction and gives about
one-tenth of his goods to the poor His
gifts go largely to colleges and universi-
ties
Young men of large fortunes seldom
bother themselves about philanthropy
Life is too full Of bright hope and promise
But when they have reached the meridian
they begin to think about squariHg ac-
counts with heaven. They strike a trial
balance as 1t were, and prepare for the
end that Is bound to come. George Pea
body gave away about S8,000O00. Leland
Stanford set apart nearly half of his for
tune for a university as a memorial to his
son. This is estimated to be at least s12,-
600 900. Andrew Carnegie's gifts IN libra
ries and music halls viii amount to some
thing like 5000 600 Philip d. Armour has
given 100000 to a school in Chicago.
Pratt Of Baltimore gave more than 81 gO0-
600 to establish a free library. Marshall
Field has given nearly $5.000n00 10 slam-
osynary institutions. Mrs. William Ast0r

The Third Ticket-What Ex-Governor
Waller Says About 1.-THE Honor of
the Nation and the Integrity of the
Democratic Party-Vote for McKin-
ley.
Governor Waller said yesterday:
1.-THE third ticket was put in nominal
ton by as representative a convention
of democrats as has ever been held in
the history of the party, and the dele
gates had no motive for coming togeth-
er from nearly every state in the union
except to preserve the ancient faith
of the democracy and the honor and
abroad. But we all know as did the
convention that the success of the
third ticket is not even a remote posi-
bility. 1t was put in nomination to
aid in the defeat of the populists, and
directly and indirectly this 1t will do
But there are democrats like Hon. e.
J. Phelps and Hon. William D. Bishop
WIZ UGIlSNt tHdl lllClG are lWO ways
of supporting the principles of the third
ticket, one by voting for it and the
other by voting for the Mckinley gold
ticket, and who think the latter the
more self-sacrlcing, the more effec-
tive and the better way and I agree
with them.
II have in public speech said that if
I cnuId have nv way in the struggle
against those who are assailing the ma
tons credit and honor l would defeat
them by the election of the Mckinley
gold ticket by so unprecedented and
overwhelming majority that McKin-
ley's success would have no partisan
significance, and | have not changed
my mind, though my hope has grown
stronger. / am for the defeat, the ut
ter defeat of the Chicago usurpers and
their populist allies, and there is only
one sure way of doing it and / want to

A MARVELLOUS INVENTION.

The Granddaughter Triumph of
the Photographers Art-Pictures
Shown With All the Movements Of
the Real-Secured by Mr.. Poll to En-
terrain New Haven People.
Manager Poll of the wonderland the
alter has secured for the entertainment
of his patrons this week one Of the
most marvellous inventions of this cen
fury of inventions. This attraction,
which, with fine supporting bill, filled
the theater with a large audience yes
terday afternoon and last evening, is
the cinematographe, an invention Of
Lumiere, the widely known French in
ventor and manufacturer.
This remarkable instrument is q COM
bination of electrical appliance and
photography: strictly speaking, a tri-
umph Of the latter It's principle Is
much the same as o kaleidoscope, and
the effect of reality is given to the
scene thrown upon the canvas by a
rapidly revolving series of pictures be-
ing passed through the reflector of the
instrument, each picture being a repre-
sentation of position Of the real dur
ing a fractional part of second, and
these passing SO rapidly that each po-
sition, during any movement, is shown.
and thus all the movements of the orig
inal are depicted on the canvas screen.
The interchangeable is a great i'm
provement on the vitascope, which was
exhibited in this city last season, and
which operated on similar principle.
With the vitascope, however, the pic
lures shown, while giving all the move
ments of the originals, We're considera-
bly, blurred. The cinematographe, on
the other hand shows every feature
Of the picture distinctly and naturally.
There are only five of these instru-
ments in the United States. and the one
brought direct from Keith's in New
York. Twelve pictures are shown at
each performance, and these have been
selected by Mr.. Poll personally from a
large collection.
Some of the pictures shown are ex-
tremeiy realistic, md especially that of
the arrival of a train at French sta
ton. The train appears to be coming
directly towards the audience, and as
it gets closer 1t assumes proportions
seemingly as great as the original
When this picture was shown yester-
day several ladies in the audience We're
so impressed with an idea of the reality
of the scene that they uttered cries of
alarm and instiictively started to get
out of the way.
Other very realistic pictures shown
are a cavalry charge, a bathing scene,
marching infantry babies quarreling,
the Champs Elysees in Paris, Rotten
Row, Hyde Park, London, and falling
wall
