DIR. Holmes Schoolmate.

Ono of the most amusing Of DR.. Holmes
experiences was meeting when he was al
ready past his prime with an old Andoyor
schoolmate.
The doctor had given q lecture In Mas.
sachusetts city, and tho next day his host,
o leading citizen, took him out for q drive
about town. Tho doctor ospled over door
q name that long ago was familiar to him.
His entertainer made the introduction
but the merchant showed more interest in
the citizen than in his undorsized guest.
The doctor inquired II le was not q stu.
dent in Phillips, Andover, in 1895. The
merchant replied that he was there at that
time.
"Do you remember boy there named
Holmes-Oliver Wendell Holmos?"
After slight hesitation no answered:
eyes. Little fellow, wasn't he?"
The doctor admitted that such was tho
fact and added that no was that boy. Tho
old schoolmato looked him over without
much appearance of interest.

and left for Cleveland over the Lake Shore
road at 3:05 D. m.
Mr. Bryan's speech was delivered in
Tallman's Grove, where the knights of
Maccabee were holding a picnic His
audience numbered 1000, and was fairly
enthusiastic. Two brass bands headed
the knights, who accompanied Mr.. Bryan
to the grove and afterward escorted him
to the train. In his speech Mr.. Bryan
told the people that in electing delegates
to the Buffalo convention they should
know how each delegate was to vote on
the proposition to indorse the Chicago
platform and ticket.
Mr.. Bryan was introduced by the chief
officer, w. s. Stringham, who took care,
however, to say that he did not indorse
him, but had produced him here as an
attraction to the people. AS the question
was one on which they desired to hear
Mr.. Bryan, he hoped they would give him
close attention.
Mr.. Bryan, in coming to the front of
the platform, was loudly cheered He said:
Il desire to speak to you for just a short
time about this campaign. But before
proceeding to discuss any political ques-
tions, | desire to thank the members of
this fraternity for the privilege which
they have given to me of meeting the peo-
pie here assembled. 1 shall not ask the
members of the fraternity to indorse any
thing that say. l recognize that the
order is a non-partisan order as it must
be, and therefore, politics ought to have
no place in its consideration. That is, so
far as the order is concerned although
members of all orders must be, as citizens,
interested in any question that is before
the American people. Not only do l APP
preciate the courtesy which the Macca-
bees have extended, but l appreciate the
work which that order and other orders
are doing. / am, myself, a member of
some of the similar orders, and l speak
what L believe when l say that they are
doing great and important work among
our people, (Applause)
This is the last opportunity which I shall
nave to say a word in the state of Now

pie of New York in the issue of this
campaign. / am able to carry back to
the people of the west the news that
while we have not met with a very hearty
reception in Wall street, we have met a
hearty reception in every other part of
the state of New York. (Cheers) And
have come to believe that there is
among the masses OF the people of New
York about as little love for what Is
known as Wall street as you will find in
any western state. (Cheers.) And as this
is my farewell meeting in the state for
the present, desire to submit just word

Square Garden last night about 4,5OO

The aspirant for championship honors
spared four exhibition rounds with the

WILL SEND THE CINCINNATI.
Another Cruiser Goes 10 Turkey to
Protect Americans.

Washington. Aug 31.--The cruiser Gin
cinnati has been ordered to Turkey. This
does not affect the cruise of the Bancroft,
that vessel being destined exclusively for
duty as guardship to the American lega.
ton at Constantihople, while the Cincin-
natl and other vessels OF the squadron
are to remain In Turkish waters outside
the Dardanelles unless circumstances
arise to call for reinforcements and a dis
play of naval force.
Secretary Smith to-day gave out state
ment describing the business that has for
more than three years been under his
supervision. and what he has accom-
plished during that period, dwelling prin-
cipally upon the settlement of conflicting
land cases, in the great western terri
tory. Many thousands of these had ac-
cumulated when he entered office, but by
diligence and labor, a great mass of them
has been disposed
In his statement he calls attention to the
work of the law force in adjudcating
these claims, and shows that since March
g. 1S99 to date, there has been an in
crease Of 1853 cases disposed Of over
those of the same period prior to 1893.
Secretary Smith showed that the result
of his policy to preserve reservations
would ultimately result in their better
preservation; also his Improvement In the
matter of issuing patents tends to pre-
vent delays. His strict adherence to the
rules of civil service and general i'm
provements in the various branches of
the department are also shown In the
statement.
1t is explained at the navy department
that the orders to the Cincinnati have
been In contemplation for some time and
there is no particular significance in their
publication at the present juncture.
1t is also said that 1t is the intention of
the department to bring the Marblehead
home as soon as she can be spared from
the Mediterranean, as the time Of great
many men on the station has expired and
1t is hoped to gather them all on the
Marblehead for the homeward cruise. SO
1t is argued, really no increase in the force
in Turkish waters Is designed, unless
eventually, affairs appear to warrant It,
According to present understanding, the
Cincinnati will continue with Admiral
Bunces squadron several weeks yet. and
will time her movements to reach Smyrna
in October about the time the Bancroft
arrive$at the entrance of the Bosphorus.
