full Quiet was restored in a few min
utes and Mr.. Bryan spoke from the
judges stand.
Mr. Bryan's address was brief as he
was greatly fatigued from his constant
speaking throughout the day and he
said little, but to express his gratifica-
ton that so many people were giving
evidence OF their lively interest in the
campaign.
In the great Auditorium where the
Republican national convention was
held, Mr.. Bryan was greeted by over
20, 600 people, every seat was occupied
and the aisles were packed and thou
sands were turned away.
It was an enthusiastic audience and
the nominee during his short speech
was frequently interrupted by tremen-
dous applause.

street who would be into mischief, and
it certainly has a tendency to diminish
juvenile crime. No children have been
arrested and it would be a serious mat
ter if any were.
The youngsters know what the bell
means, for they can be seen hurrying off
the streets when the nine taps begin.
A slight warning by a bluecoat is cal
culated to strike terror enough into the
youthful breast without making any ar
rests.
The curfew ordinance is all right after
all. Some of the small boys don't like
it, but then. when they get over is
years of age they will think it is all
right. Beginning October 1 the bell
will be tolled at sis, which will be

RINGING THE CURFEW.
A Reporter Witnessed the Actual
Performance of the Affair.

The man who rings the curfew bell
at S;45 every evening is not an old man
stopped with age His snow white
hair and beard do not tremble as he
pulls the big rope which warns all
youngsters that they must get off the
public streets by o'clock His bony
hand does not clutch at the massive
rope and his dim eyes water as he tolls
the big bell He is not a man with q
terrible countenance which would
frighten the little ones if they should
meet him coming away from the bell
tower and make them have Nightmares
all through their sleep.
He is not prowling around after he
tolls the bell trying to catch the little
''cannibals" like the bogy man of Sin
bad He is nice looking, quiet young
man, this curfew man. The rope too
is little larger than an ordinary clothes
line. This man who tolls the curfeyy
bell is no other than Mr.. A. NJ. Robin
son, who is captain of the fire station
No. 2, on Seventh street
A reporter for the State Journal ac-
tua1ly saw the curfeW rung, and here is
the way it was done:
Arriving about half past O'Clock he
found most of the firemen in an upper
room engaged in a lively game of cards
Four were playing and the rest looking
on.
Sixteen minutes of 9. The curfew
man pulled out his watch. It was lust
time for him to deal a hand, and he did
so. The playing was begun. Fifteen
minutes OF 9, fourteen minutes of g
and a chair is pushed back hurrfedIy
and the curfew ringer bounds out into
the hall as if he had heard the small
gong strike down stairs.
He runs to the small stairway lead
ing to the city building and dives be-
hind the door He grasps the bell rope
there which is connected with the fire
bell clapper. With a long pull he draws
the rope down. The big bell cIangs
loudly and the building shakes The
horses down stairs jump and the rope
is loosened. CIang, clang, nine times
and the deed is done
The curfew is a good thing, says
nearly everybody but Police Commits
sioner Chas. Holiday. For some rea-
son he thinks 1t a Foolish ordinance. But
there is little doubt that the curfew
keeps many small children off the

HETTY GREEN IS PLEASED.
Glad Because Her Son is Chairman Of
ofTexaS Republican Party.

Chicago, Sept. 14.-Hetty Green was
overjoyed at the announcement that
her son, Edward Rowland Robinson
Green, had been elected chairman of
the Republican state central commit
tee of Texas. At her office in the Hol-
land block she showed with manifest
delight the following telegram which
she had received in the afternoon:
Fort Worth, Tex, Sept 1O.-Hetty
H. r. Green. Holland Block, Chicago:
Ned was today elected state chairman
by unanimous vote, and received the
greatest ovation have ever seen in a
Republican convention.
&C. W. OGDEN"
The pleasantest feature Of the mat
ter to Mrs. Green was that her own
generosity was partly responsible for
the honor that had been conferred up
on her son. Hetty had made a gener-
Gus contribution to the campaign fund
of the state lin the interest of the best
man." How large the contribution was
she would not divulge, but she admit
ed, with a twinkle in her eye, that it
was generous one" When pressed
to state the amount she said:
Would you make a public announce
ment of how much your wife's last
dress cost? Now, would yOu?"
And laugh followed that said as
plainly as could be:
There's an argument for you
Mrs. Green herself is not a partisan,
If her son is She says gold and sill
YER are not two words in her dictiOn-
airy, but one, being practically synony-
nous with bank notes. She admits her
willingness to take all sorts of money
provided it is legal tender, but still
she wants to see national prosperity re-
stored, and to that end she donated
some of her riches to meet campaign
expenses, and came to Chicago to look
after her great realty interests here
personally while Ned was down there
working for the good of the country
You see,' said Mrs. Green, Ned
was not ambitious for office, but he
did want to see good times again. He
did not seek the Office, but the Republi-
cans sought him for it. I'm real glad
they did. OF course. 1 had to give up
something, but I was willing. 1t is a
fact, Ned is popular down in Texas
and the Republican leaders thought he
could be of great assistance to them in
bringing about q fusion of the Republi-
cans and POpulists of the state.
When the subject was first mention
ed I told Ned to go ahead and I would
be the outside clerk of the house and
look after the Chicago business. be-
lieve in doing something for other peo-
pie, and I thought this was Ned's
chance to do something-Or for me to
do something through Ned-for the
Texans.
We have great interests down there,
you know, in the Texas Midland rail-
way He will make his headquarters
at Terrell, but then he's all over-just
like me. Ned can do a good deal and
he will, if I have any say in the mat
ter"

any purpose whatever The Idaho
banker then instructed his New York

This was done and the Weiser man
was informed that the silver would
