With this information, the searcher can turn quickly and find all the details which are required by law to be made matters of record. The three sorts of cards have each their distinctive color. The births are on white cards, the mar riages on amber-colored, and the deaths on pinklsh shade which Is called melon-color.

BRYAN THE FREE-TRADER,

Those who have been sorry that they voted for Cleveland and the tariff for deficit will do we'll to bear in mind that vote for Bryan in November will be vote for a more violent free trader than Cleveland, and to prolong the conditions which now keep the revenues of the government below le- gitimate needs and prevent the revival of manufacturing industry in many lines that were crippled by the Wilson bill.
 MT. Bryan was one of the authors of that bill and q bold defender of it on the floor of congress. It was his opin- ion that the bill did not provide for a sufficient reduction of duties. The idea of the free traders was to cause an enormous importation of foreign goods at low rates, so the people of this coun- try could be saved from tariff rob- bery." Our artisans and manufactur- CTS were in the meantime to reach out for the markets of the world, while en- toying the luxury of buying at low prices the products of foreign coun- tries. How the fine scheme has worked everybody knows. There isn't much luxury in buying when one hasn't the price.
 Little has been said about Bryan's trade notions because so much has had to be said about his free-silver mo- tions. But those who are sorry thai they were deluded by the fine promise. of the free-traders four years ago will hardly want to vote this year to make one of the most rabid of them presi dent

MassAcHusErrs, CARD INDEX.

That card index which the State of Massachusetts is having made and which is almost done will be a big thing when it is done. It will com prise all the returns of births, mar riages and deaths in the State during the last f1fty-six years. The impor- tance of such an index will be readily appreciated. The disposal of property often turns upon the ability to pro- duce in court the certification that a person was born at such a time and place, or that a relative married in such town, or that the death of member of the family occurred under such cir cumstances as to leave it beyond all doubt from legal point of view. While such information is, in most cases, available now, it can often only

ed one of the treats of campaign to hear Tom Reed pay his respects to the people arrayed against him." The crowds that go to hear him now are larger than then, and fully as appre- ciative of his eloquence, but they do not look for acerbity any longer. In this connection MT. Reed has been heard to say: We have not been who'll ly righteous ourselves in times past, and there is nothing to be gained by painting the other fellows all black. The speaker sometimes tells his friends story of speech he made in one of the fishing towns in his dis trict that affords him good deal of amusement in the telling. There was an old republican in the town who was always preaching to his democratic friends about MT Reed. When MT. Reed was billed to speak in the town this earnest old worker persuaded half a dozen of his democratic brethren to go to the hall and hear MT. Reed They were given seats on the platform, and they had the pleasure of hearing MT, Reed fay the democratic party in his most biting fashion for a solid hour. That republican wouldn't vote for me for six years after that" said MT. Reed in telling the seory and I am pretty sure didn't make any converts among those democrats"
 MT. Reed does not believe oratory makes converts off-hand. He thinks it has got to be retailed in the grocery store, the blacksmith shop and the home to take effect, Apropos of this thought an incident may be related | that occurred in one of his recent speeches. It was at Pennington, up near the Rangeley region in Maine, and MT Reed was illustrating to big au- dience the effect on the sheep raising industry of the Wilson tariff law. industry of the Wilson tariff law. Three years ago you had 1000 sheep In this town and you got twenty four>cen a | pound for your wool" said he. Now | you have S,90o sheen and you get
 twelve cents a pound for your wool" There was voice in the crowd, Only ten cents, MT. Reed"
 Well" said Reed, with most ex- pressve drawl, you see, you can al- ways retail what tell you at a profit"
 The audience burst into unrestrained | laughter.
 Mr. Reeds speeches this year have
 been notable for their tone of concilia- | tion as well as their absence of sharp
 ness He has often said that the re- publican party ought to welcome all
 those of the other side who had put country above party ties.
 | Corporations have no souls,' said
 he in one of his recent speeches, but
 the stockholders have, and I think we ought to recognize the fact. Wash | ington Post.

FLAG DAY.

That Is curious and significant move which Bryan, Jones & Co. have made concerning Flag Day" When Chairman Hanna conceived the idea that October 31, which will mark the close of the presidential campaign be set apart by the supporters of McKin- ley throughout the Union as a, day for the universal display of the American flag in token of that patriotism which tectfon for the workingman, the main tenance of law and order and the in- tegrity of the Supreme court of the United States, he did a good thing, and his request that Flag Day be generally observed has met with hearty approval As soon as Bryan, Jones & Go. saw the excellence of the plan and the effect it was having they set their wits at work to get themselves out of the hole in which they found themselves. They didn't dare to have a separate Flag Day which would expose the weakness of their support, and the best they could do was to feebly initiate the great Republican leader and call for display of flags on the same day chosen by him.
 Flag Day will be a great day, and the r,.-. -- ! !
 part they may take in it. It may do them some good to see the outburst of patriotism with which the sound money army Is to wind up the campaign.

cuff bracelets of many years ago used to. It comes in white and in black, and is as high as the highest collar can be. It fits down over narrow band, and then the ribbon ties about It. If it shows just the least bit in front or at the back, wherever the bow comes, it only adds to the effect of pretty finish. It is always stiff, always ready and as easy to keep clean as an ivory cuff but ton.

 A recent court decision in Pennsylva- mia directs attention to the defect in some of the medical practice acts in dealing with one of the most danger- ous forms of quackery, the faith cure. A doctor of that character, arrested at Bellefonte on complaint by the county medical society of violation of the medical practice act, set up de- fence that there is no law requiring the registration of a faith cure doctor" the medical practice act having rela- tion only to those who practice with medicines and in surgery. Further the broad claim was made that the faith cure is simply and solely a form of religious worship, and according to the constitution of the State and of the 1 United States no one has any right to | hinder or interfere with such.

Hsrs,s n New Neck Fixlnr.

Madge, away at school, can never have too many neck facings, and those little clerical affairs with little tabs in front like bishop are as pretty as can be. For another change, grandmam mas round lace collar set over silk and finished with a high choker which may be covered with the narrow band cuffs that go with the collar, will be as pret- ty as can be. The ribbon collars are as pretty as ever, so let her have a lot of white taffeta ones to tie front and back. White taffeta washes, and if Madge at school is the careful girl she ought to be, change of taffeta collars in white will mean a pretty, fresh one always on hand.

I can cut through al- most any safe in Chicago inside of two hours with electricity and without making enough noise to waken a cat.

Dr. Arthur Macdonald, the Wash ington criminologist, would have every man, woman and child in the country measured according to the Der tillon system and the resulting data preserved by a government bureau, with branches in every township. This, he says, would not only almost put an end to crime by making detection prac- tically certain, but it would be of ser- vice in scores of ways among perfectly respectable people, like lawyers, bank CTS, insurance men, and all others to whom questions of identity are of great importance.
