While the reception given Mr.. Bryan
at Newark this afternoon WAS not SO
wildly demonstrative as that which
he received there on his trip to attend
the ratification meeting in New York,
1t was flattering; nearly 1900 people
were in the throng.
Mr.. Bryan spoke very briefly and said
nothing new. A mob of cheering, howl
ing men surrounded Mr.. Bryan at Hobo
ken when the train reached Barclay
street ferry at s. Is p. m. They pushed
him along with will vehemence and
forced him to make dash for the car
riage in waiting. Several thousand peo-
pie gathered around the carriage and
cheer ed repeatedly. Mr.. Bryan was in
troduoed by Major Eagan and made 9
few remarks. A squad OF police then
hustled Mr.. Bryan to the Ferry house.

man CLANCY of Brooklyn met him and
with these and Josephus Daniels Of
North Carolina, he crossed to Barclay
street in this city. There was nobody
waiting ard the carriage was quickly
driven to Brooklyn bridge and TO Brook.

In his Phillipsburg speech Mr.. Bryan
said: "You cannot keep the people

they believe that their interests are at

OUR GENERAL MISSIONARY WORK
This is treated at length under the
individual reports Of The Missionaries
and in the Report of the Woman's Aux
iliary. A word concerning it, however,
ought to be introduced here. Our
churches are not fully alive to the effio-
iency of our general missionaries, or TO
the amount Of work they do. It is not
too much to say that It is the most effec-
tive, the most far-I reaching, and the
most economical " ork done by our So
ciety. This reflects not at all upon the
regular pastoral work Of our ministers,
it simply emphasizes the nature of the
general missionary work. Our mission
ary for Eastern Maine, Rev. Charles
Whittier, with his broad parish of the
three great counties, Washington, Ham
cock and Aroostook, is practically super
intendent of this whole region, and his
advice, and knowledge of the field, are
of inestimable value to the secretary,
while his general oversight of the
churches, and his investigation of new
fields, add an element Of great useful
ness. The character Of the lady mission
aries work, as well az that done in ths
western part Of the state by Mr.. York,
has been of the usual excellent order in
preparing for permanent work, and in
arousing latent energy in torpid field s

SPEAKS HER OWN LANGUAGE,
The Russians Have Long Neglected
Their own Tongue

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The coronation Of the ear will take place

tons. Although the loEg journey and the

The fallacy prevailing In England that the
Russian language Is without Importance in
Russian society is. like most fallacies, a
sUperannuated truth, and survives only
through ignorance If the march of events
Formerly every Russian family spoke
three foreign languages. ore of which gen.

two, German and English. were always
available. In society French was uni
versal. German was largely used in COM
merce, ard English was the language of
the nursery, while Russian was RELOCATED

Now, however. the Russian language has
worked Its way up through the strata OF
Russian society. by the revelation of its
literary capabilities, by the author Gogol,
and the pre- motion OF national feeling in
the upper classes by the late Emperor AL
cXsr der III. The national language has

in society. German is now of little use to

What Nr. TOurgec Saw With His
Own Eyes in Burmnh Lumber Yard.
Som the Buffalo Courier.
William B. Tourgee has just returned
from a trip around the world. He Is a
millionaire. and has a beautiful home on
Michigan boulevard in Chicago. but he is
seldom at home. as the greater part of his
time is spent in travelling. MIR. Tourgee
prefers to visit places out Of the ordinary
lines of travel, and has made during his
'ast trip quite an extensive exploration of
the island of Borneo.
One OF the places. however which offered
some of the most interesting scenes was
found in the large lumber yards of Bur
nah. The teak wood industry Is the great
industry of that country. The wood grows
for the greater part in the northern part
of Burmah, where 1t is cut and fioated
down the Irrawaddy to RangoOn. where
the more important and larger yards are
located.
1t is in these lumber yards that they en-
ploy the elephants in moving and handling
the logs The elephant has practically the
entire handling of the logs from the mo-
ment they are ready to be taken from the
back water, where they have been stored,
until the logs have been converted into the
thin planks used in sEipbuildIng and other
industries, where it answers the purpose
better than any other known wood
4 dozen or more elephants may be en-
ployed IN the same yard. They are nearly
all males, which are. generally speaking
larger and stronger than the females
These intelligent creatures will balance a
log on their tusks, and. holding it firmly
with their trunks, will proceed TO walk off
with it to the saw. They will then hold
the log up to the saw while it is at work
and will see that it Is cut properly either
Crosswise or lengthwise. as may be desired
They pull the slabs away with the ends of
their trunks. and pile them in piles that
are as neatly arranged as the most exact
ing yarimaster could desire. The princi-
pal work of the elephants consists of
taking the logs from the water and DiIing
them up in the yards They will pile logs
in the neateSt manner Imaginable and will
adjust them at either end until they are
perfectly satisfied that they are rightly ar
ranged. Each elephant has keeper but
the keepers sole work consists in giving
the elephant the impression of what he
wants done, and then letting him go ahead
and do il.
Mr. Tourgee says that the yard owners
look upon good elephant as almost price
less, and seldom part with them WHAT
makes their work so very valuable is that
they can 30 this heavy work in that hot
climate without being affected by the heat

old ones. This action was taken in
order to expedite the important work
as far as possible, by preventing de-
lays that would necessarily occur in
waiting for the executive committee to
pass upon applications for the erection of
new fountains.
With the approach of hot weather the
subject of drinking fountains becomes one
of general interest. Comparatively few
persons are familiar with the fact that the
Humane Society is the pioneer in the Dis
trict In making provision whereby the
thirst of horses and dogs at all times may
be quenched.
About the city and District at convenient
intervals are drinking fountains of neat

THE CHINESE AND THE Y RAYS.
a Western Editor Is SkepticnI About
Johns Inventive Genius.

From the Salt Lake Tribune.
John Mcguire of Butte has dug up a copy
of The London Philosophical Journal of
1892, which contains an account of a Curl
Gus Chinese mirror, which had the power 10
reflect upon screen 10y the aid OF the sun 5
rays objects on the back of the mirror the
mirror being made of Chinese silver, a COM
position of tin and copper.
The Journal stated that there were but
few of the mirrors in existence. and they
were evidently the remains of lost art.
From this he infers that the y rays were
originally discovered by the Chinese. All
of which we do not believe We do believe,
however that when the Tartars pressed
down from the north into what is known as
China now, there was d magnificent civil
lized race there John advanced with
pole on his shoulders, a bundle on each end
of the pole and a non-Combative smile on
his face, and the lOrdly inhabitants said:

doing the laundry work for the people; then
some of them got to he cooks and dish
washers. They came in such numbers that
there were enough of them to do AL The in

boys and girls grew up, ana could ma
nothing to do because the Chinese usurUcd
their places, and they wandered on west,
probably into Persia or Chaldea. The men
that owned the land were left behind ana
John worked for them. One after another

manned could not bear the awful loneliness.
They sold out to John for what they could

Ii is very possible that that cid race in
vented the famous mirror described above.
Perhaps it was the same race that fused
glass and gold in the old days, so that look
ing on one side of the substance il was
pure glass and on the other it seemed like
rure gold. But race does no; lose its in
ventive faculty. Rather, that faculty is
Increased the longer il exists.
The Chinaman Of today does not show
any symptoms of belonging to an inventive
race. He is as initiative a monkey but
he has no attribute of mind which makes
of him an inventor, outside OF the fact that
he can invent more excuses for being a
rogue, and then he can look more innocent
and gri2ved when delivering his excuses,
than any other creature in all this world.
