NOTICED IN THE RESTAURANTS. American Manners Are Changing-Women
 Now Tip the Walters.

New York Sun.
 Where an American formerly spent ten minutes over a quick lunch he will now take half an hour for comfortable meal; and where he would have begrudged half an hour for restaurant meal with a friend in days gone by, the two cronies now sit and gossip for almost that length of time, simply waiting for their order to be served.
 "Oh, yes," said a well known caterer the other day, there's been a mighty change in the time men give to their meals. You'll take my word for 1t, though, that there are some hotels where you won't hear the same story. The western man hasn't the same patience that the eastern man has. After all, there may be some excuse for him. Gen. era1ly he's here on business and he isn't wasting time on finger bowls. Perhaps home, though must say it has pretty habitual look"
 How about women?"
 Well, now, you have struck an inter- esting topic. I don't think I've noticed any more decided changes in this busi- ness-that is, in that part of it-than the wey women act when alone. It used to be the exception that a woman gave a tip. Now it's cold day when she doesn't But they're funny even yet. They give the smallest fees and the largest. Men average just about the same, but women give everywhere from few cents to $1 where almost every man would give 25 cents. They've learned lot, too. about eating; about what to eat, I mean. Oh, they order salads good deal of course and ice cream and made dishes, but they've changed; oh, yes, they've chang ed! I know of women who can order just as good dinner as a man can, and, what's more. they do 1t. But take them as a whole and they're not up to the men in the art of dining. I suppose they like they'll save on dinner to buy a hat and all that sort of thing. Oh. yes, they will I've heard them sit at the table and figure on what they could buy with the

the price of silver was affected by the
law of supply and demand. The repeal
of the Sherman law stopped the pur-
chase of $4,000 900 ounces of silver a
year. and decreased the price because it
lessened the demand for silver.
In the speech at Frankfort, Bryan en-
phasized the statement of last night that
those who did not believe in the free
coinage of silver Democrats or Republi-
cans), should vote the straight Republi-
can ticket.
Bryan was conducted to the platform
in the courthouse square under an um-
brella, which was knocked aside every
minute by the efforts OF his Southern ad-
mirers to grasp his hand. During his
speech of Is minutes the rain continued,
but the audience kept asking him to
go on.

A Crisis Imminent.

HAVANA, Sept. 15.-The Spanish bank
has suspended the sale of drafts on
Spain payable in bank notes, and has
bought of well-known banker draft
for 100000 on the United States, pay
ing for it a large per cent. Roth of
these facts have caused heavy depreci-
alton in the banks notes and today they
are at 13 per cent discount. There were
no operations on the produce exchange
today, and it is feared financial crisis
is imminent.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Sept. IA, via Sofia,
Bulgaria, Sept. 15.-Ambassadors of the
powers held a meeting today to lay out
plan for measures of protection for the
different embassies and the foreign pop
ulation generally in the event of re-
newal of the disturbances here. The
plan is understood to include the united
action of the warships of all the powers,
each ship being assigned to certain
position and the men to be landed at a
given signal to protect the threatened
points. The defenses of the embassies
will also, it is rumored, be considerably
strengthened by an increase in the num-
Der of men now guarding them, and by
other precautions which will tend to
make them capable of resisting an at
tack for a considerable time. It is also
reported that in case of possible contin-
gencies mum ber of additional warships
of the powers will reinforce the guard
ships now doing duty in these waters.

gents:
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 15.-Span-
ish Consul Sails, who says he represents
Minister De LONE, who told j. A. Huan,
representative of the Cuban junta here,
that if the insurgents would lay down
their arms by November L, Spain would
grant complete home rule to the island.
Sails said amnesty would be granted to
every man who had been in the rebel
lion, and that Spain would recall Gener-
al Weyler and name representative of
the crown in Cuba who would be accept
able to the insurgent leaders.
Mr.. Huan agreed to lay the PROPOSE
ton before the junta, but told Sails it
would hardly be accepted, as nothing
short of absolute independence would
satisfy the Cubans now.

The Empire State at a Gathering in
Buffalo.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 15.-It looks
like state convention tonight, and the
arrival of the Tammany delegation has
done more to bring into view old conven-
ton faces than anything that has hap
pened. During the afternoon there was
every evidence of friction, but as the
evening wore on, the Tammany delega-
tion arrived in town, every light con-
troversy that had arisen was smoothed
over, and it became more than ever evil
dent that the convention was to be DOM
mated by the great political organization
from New York.
From the time Mr.. Hinckley arrived
this morning and announced that the
selections of Elliott Banforth, of New
York, a member of the Bryan and
Sewall notification committee, for
state chairman and Frank S. Camp
bell for national committeeman, were
favorable to Mr.. Hill, until late tonight
| till this news was confirmed, there had
been conflict among the assembled
delegates. It ends tonight by the with
drawal of Mayor Malloy from the contest
for state committee chairman and the
Endorsement of Campbell for Office oi
national committeeman, an ending that
to every body's mind, signifies a compro.
mise with Senator Hill, in order to keer
together the state organization and the
withdrawal of Senator Murphy's candi-
date in the interest of harmony.

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 15.-Bryan's
first speech today was made from the
platform of car at La Grange. The
campaign, he said, was of the greatest
Importance. The money question de-
served the deep study of every one. He

dominated before his coming. He was

answering the statement made by his
opponents that in consequence of the
greater production of silver than of gold,
the white metal had deprecated and
would depreciate in value. He ad-
mitted that the product of silver had
been three times as great in the last
twenty years, but he said in the last five
years the production of gold had in
creased more rapidly than that of silver,
and the price of silver bullion has fallen
more than at any other time. He said
