Several Hundred People Turn Out to

CENTRALIA, Ills, July l5.--For some
reason the ovation that was to have
been given to Mr.. Bryan here was al
most failure. Scarcely 500 people all
told were at the station when the train
bearing Mr.. Bryan and his wife pulled
in. A club of Democratic voters ar
rived from Nashville with band about
z 80, and few minutes later one came
in from Fairfield, but they added
scarcely 200 people to the crowd. To
make matters worse the place selected
for Mr.. Bryan to meet the citizens was
the city park, which had

by William E. Mason, Republican can
didate for the United States senate
from this state. On this account Mr..
Bryan and his friends had to vacate
before o'clock. The big majority of
the crowd that came to the park ap-
psared to be Republicans who had ex-
pected to listen to Mr.. Mason's talk.
There were frequent cheers for Nc
Kinley, and then the friends of Democ-
racy would shout for Bryan, Altgeld
and free silver. Mr.. Bryan did not in
tend to make speech but the crowd in.

TOMMY ATKINS CURL,
Cus On by = Now Military Order-Hair NJ
q Sign of Soldierly vaIor.

One of the latest of the many new
regulations that have been imposed
upon the British army since Lord
Wolseley was placed in command of it,
is that the cherished curl that has for
the past quarter century peeped out
from under Tommy Atkins" forage
cap shall go. This is an order that
strikes directly to the heart of the pfi-
vate soldier, for the curl, on the whole,
has long been his most valued posses
sion and his great point of distinctive
ness. The new rule is not regarded
with favor by the nursery maids, for
their admirers will now possess a mo-
notonous front of military brow when
on parade. The curls have been varied,
often really artistic, and one and all
smooth, shiny and well oiled.
In the late 18th and early 18th CEN
turtles the soldiers wentinto battle with
flowing wig, though it occasionally
happened that in the heat of charge
he would throw it off and plunge at the
enemy with greater ardor. Marlhor-
ough broke the power of Louis XIV. in
votuminous peruke, and wigs and
powder were the invariable accompani-
ments of the continental soldiery Of
that era.
1t was not until the peninsular war
that the crop-haired, clean-shaven SOL
der came into style. This vogue or
iginated in England and the soldiers
who adopted it swept Napoleon's mar
shals from the peninsula and crushed
that world-conqueror himself at Wa
terloo. The rule of no heard and
strangling collar prevailed in the Brit
ssh army until the Crimean war, when
it was relaxed in order that the soldiers
might better withstand the rigors OF
the Russian winter Since then the
English war officer has allowed Tom
