BRYAN MADE HER SPEAK.
An Arkansas City Pastor Tells of
Chicago Incident

Arkansas City, Aug. 15.-Rev. w
Bird Shaw, pastor of the Congrega-
tiOnal church, is an old time friend of
Vim. J. Bryan They graduated from
the same college and went to Chicago
and took their law course together.
Mr.. Shaw tells a. little incident on VIII
liam which will bear repeating
One day he and Bryan were at the
old exposition building and there was
quite a crowd there. In the crowd
there were many girls and Bryan
made the remark to Mr.. Shaw that he
was going to make a Chicago girl
speak to him. He singled out one he
thought rather pretty and sided I'D to
her. When he was next to her he
dropped his handkerchief and in stoop-
ing over to pick it up he trod heavily
upon the Chicago girls foot. The girl
screamed oh and Mr.. Bryan apOIo-
gized; then he walked back to Mr..
Shaw and said to him:
I told you that 1 would make a girl
speak to me-"

Messiah, their Avatar, the Moses who
was to show them the way from bond
age to the promised land.
Their minds, Embroidered by culture,
but all the more vehement in cOnVic-
ton, believed that in Bryan they had a
man who could tighten their load and
make hard times easy and bring them
Tree silver for their needs, and Bryan,
be 1t added, accepts this awful respOn-
sibility with a cheerful courage and
cOnstancy He, too, is one of the poor
people, and no one has deeper faith in
the truth and righteousness of the
cause than he.
The proportion of women in these
WayS1de gatherings is surprising. There
are the young unmarried girls, who
hope that better times will bring them
good husbands, and older women, who
have long known the pinch and strain
OF domestic poverty, and now look for
yard with tremendous anticipation to
some measure of relief and relaxation.
They stand and gaze with their fingers
on their lips. They have prayers in
their hearts. May the day of Oppres-
sion pass and justice be done!
The eagerness of all to see, just to see
If they may not hear and touch, is ire
mendous- They mob the moving train
at risk of life and limb. Old men pain
fully hoist themselves up by the jOist
of railway shed to get one mOmenta-
ry glimpse, which they will remember
always. Younger asld more active per
sons Chamber up on perilOuS roofs,
whence they look down upon the scene
triumphant. The man in the new sum
mer suit, with his best girl, who is
afraid to venture into that tumultuOuS
thrOng. stands on tiptoe until nature
can endure no more. Oh, for an x ray
to give power of sight through thou
sand backs or a faculty of astral pro-
lection to send ones person where his
heart isl
I call this a touching as well as an
impressive spectacle. Nowhere about
it is the trail of the professional poll
uc1an. With every vote given for Bry-
an in this election will go theheartOf
the giver. AS I said yesterday, the
force behind the man is so vast as to
be incalculable. You can estimate it no
more than you can the strength of the
buffet dealt by a western tornado. 1t
is elemental. No man, be he ever so
great, can be more than the instrument
of such power.
The people look at Bryan because
they see in him the embodiment of all
their hope of better things. Were he
Apollo and julius Caesar in one, and
had not this representative quality, not
a man of all these thousands wO1ld
turn to glance at him No one bears
this truth more loyalty in mind than
Bryan himself. To his courage and
cheerfulness he adds absolutely mod
esty. If he felt anything personal in
these hundreds of miles of applausive
voices he would not wish to hear them.
He is too ambitious to be personal. He
is resolved that greatness, if he attain
it, shall be the result of great duties
faithfully done.

NEW ELECTRIC ROAD.
Railway to be Built Between New
York and Philadelphia.

Trenton, N. J., Aug. 15.-An electric
road between New York and Philadel-
phia is now assured. Ex-Mayor Frank
A. Mcgowan said this evening that he
and ]. Henry Darrah of this city after
nearly a years hard work have sue
ceeded in forming a syndicate among
New York and Philadelphia capitalists
who are prominent in both cities. The
result is the organization of the New
York and Philadelphia Traction com
pany which has associated with it the
Central Jersey Traction company.
The syndicate for the traction road
through this state is not only formed
but the transfers of stock have been
made and partial payment given to
the promoters. Work upon the road
is to be commenced in a, few days. A
contract has just been given out for
work upon the road between New
Brunswick, Bound Brook Raritan and
Dunellen, which will amount to $475,-
600. A power house to cost 500, 900 will
be erected near Bound Brook.

If anybody imagines that the paper

If all reports are true tons of paper

You might hold the flowers at arm s

from the real, with the possible excep-

One very wise precaution has been

BUFFALO BILL'S SHOW.
Wrecked in a Cyclone at Muskegon,
Mich

Muskegon, Mich, Aug. 15.-The main
arena tent of Buffalo Bills wild west
show was wrecked here last night by
the southern edge of a cyclone which
struck shortly before o'clock
The full force of the wind which
was accompanied by a deluge of rain.
struck the long tent near the main
entrance.
The wind rent great gashes in the
canvas, tore out the tent fastenings
and blew the seats into the arena. For
a moment the air was filed with f1ving
boards The employees had been using
their utmost exertiOns to keen the
people out of the tent, and in their ef-
forts some of the men were struck bv
the flying seats.
The entire outfit was so badly de-
moralized that after a council it was
decided to omit the performance and
move on to Benton Harbor. It is es-
timated that the gale caused a loss of
$1,000 to $4,000 to the show.

THEATERs OPPOSE IT.
Are Against the Use of st. Louis Au-

St Louis, Aug. illegal steps may
be taken to enjoin the municipal au-
thorities from permitting the Audito-
rum to remain on public property; or,
in other words, to force it's removal.
at a meeting of st. Louis theatrical
managers yesterday it was resolved to
prevent, by recourse to the courts if
necessary, the giving of entertainments
for private gain in the Auditorium. The
contention is that no municipal proper
~ can be legally used for business
other than public without permission
granted by ordinance or statute. On
this ground, it is intended to resort to
injunction proceedings if license is
granted by the mayor to any person
for the holding of shows or entertain
ments in the Auditorium

HYPNOTISM AND TEETH.
Patient Put to Sleep While the Dem
fist Operates.

Chicago, May ia practical test Of
hypnotism as an aid in dentistry was
made yesterday morning in the clinic
of the Chicago School of Psychology,
255 Bowen avenue.
A patient at the hypnotic clinic there
was suffering from the disease called
technically "exostis," which is an en-
largement of the roots of the teeth at
the apex It was found necessary to
have several of the afflicted teeth re-
moved, and hypnosis was tried to les
sen the pain instead of the usual an
eStheticS.
The patient was a man As years old.
He was placed in the operating chair
and put to sleep by DR.. Herbert A
Parkyn. Dr. J. @. Barclay did the
dental work, removing eight teeth.
When the patient was restored to con-
seriousness he said he had felt no pain,
although he was fully aware through
out of what was going on.

Tespecter of persons. The germs of this
most dreadful of diseases float in the air
we breathe, in the water we drink, IN the
money we handle. Perfectly harmless
in a healthy body, they are absolutely
deadly wherever weakness exists. The
lungs are the most sensitive of all the
vital organs. The delicate lining of the
lung cells and passages Is easily irritated.
If the blood is impure and germful the
lung lining soon becomes inhamed. I'M
pure matter accumulates. If a COnsump-
ton germ is in the body 1t lodges there
and propagates. Soon the entire body
IS full of bacilli and consumption has
firm hold.
Many doctors say that consumption is
incurab1e and necessarily fatal. THEY
are mistaken. DR.. Pierce's Golden Med

all cases of consumption, if taken prompt

GINGERY LEW GINGER.
A Well Known G. A. R. Man Writes
a Letter to Union Veterans League.


Colonel Lew Ginger who once or
gained and carried on a G. A. R. fair
in Topeka, writes an open letter in
the Denver Republican addressed to
the Union Veterans league in New
York as follows:
Colorado Springs, Aug. 1O.-Gentle-
men: Your appeal to the veterans of
the war of the rebellion is before me
You are doubtless aware of the fact
that thousands of the men who fought
for the Union are not supporting Major
Mckinley for president. If this were
not true your appeal would be super
fiOus You are also aware of the fact
that these men are patriots and gave
some of the best years of their lives
that the nation might live Your ap-
peal is an insult to their manhood 1t
is quite true that they were not major
generals, but they stood in the front
line and barred their breasts to the shot
and shell and saw their comrades and
brothers die for the country they loved.
and now. the leaders of the great party
to whom we have been so loyal since
peace came again to our land have
permitted a few men to take possess
gross injustice, yea, a crime, by str1k-
ing down the honest dollar that for
century has been worth one hundred
cents all the world over, you come to
US with an appeal to help you put
yoke upon the neckS of the American
people that would be as heavy to bear
as that which rested upon the necks
of four millions of human beings in
this land at the beginning of the war
You assume too much when you say
that our great leaders who have been
mustered out, Grant, Sherman, Sheri-
dan, Hancock, Logan, Garfield and
others, were they living, would be
united with you in this crisis. On the
contrary, I believe that bitter shame
would cloud most of their faces when
they knew that in a few hours in your
city of New York 100000 900 we're open
ly subscribed to carry by fair or foul
means the coming election.
It is not the first time that the lead
ers of the party, finding themselves in
a tight place. have sought some of the
prominent officers of the Union army
and begged them to appeal to the pa
triOtism and loyalty of the soldiers, and
when the soldiers rallied to their
support and carried the banner to vic
tory the greater part of the pledges
made to them were forgotten. That
the Republican party has accomplished
much for the soldiers is most true, but
our loyalty to the tOiling millions is
paramount to loyalty to any party /
