Mr.. Bryan in Chicago was passing the
uorner of Michigan avenue and Monroe
street several eggs were thrown at it by
young students in tho Metropolitan Bust

Mr.. Bryan or his wife, and neither of them
knew of the episode until after the parade
was over. All sorts of stories were cur
rent about the affair one of them being
that Mrs. Bryan was struck with an egg,
another that her carriage was hit Neither
of these stories was true, however.
The first egg thrown mt the parade came
from boy standing on the sidewalk in

Metropolitan Business college is situated.
The egg was, to all appearances thrown
at the parade generally and at no particu-
lar individual as it was not hurled with

the act made a rush for the youngste. who
darted up the stairway into the building.
A second officer Joined the first, and rs the

business college, which occupies the fifth
floor of the building. The Cook County
Marching club, which was escortng Mr..
Bryan, received the bombardment, and
several prince albert coats and glossy
black ties were spattered with yellow.
One or two eggs struck the sidewalk, and
the crowd was decorated accordingly.
