Candidate Bryan has a great deal to

During the war, when both gold and
silver were driven out Of circulation,

forms Of paper money took their place.
To-day the use Of credits is almost uni

may be cleaned how little sense there
is in the Bryanite babble about "cor.

A SURPRISE.
Buffalo Brewery Employees Gift to Re.
tiring Manager Grau.

BuHaio brewery employees G1It TO he-
tiring Manager Grau.
Herman Grau, for seven years the
active Manager of the Buffalo Brewing
and Ice Company's business, yesterday
turned over the duties and responsible
ties of that position to Captain H. I.
Seymour, who has been the company s
Secretary for long time.
The company employs a large num-
Der of men in various capacities, and
they all think a great deal of Mr.. Grau.
Yesterday afternoon they went in a
body to the directors room at the brew
cry, where Mr.. Grau was engaged in
consultation with Mr.. Seymour, and took
him completely by surprise.
The men had arranged with Mr.. Sey-
mour to act as their spokesman, and,
addressing the late Manager, he ex-
pressed in neat terms the high regard in
which he was held by all the COM
panys employees, anu concluded by
presenting him with a beautiful and
costly gold watch-chain and charm, the
joint gift of the employees of all the de-
partments.
Though Mr.. Grau was not prepared
for any such demonstration, he made a
very appropriate and feeling response,
assuring the donors of his good will for
them and deep appreciation of their re-
gard, as expressed by Manager Sey-
mour, supplemented BY their beautiful
gift.
Several of the employees also made
brief remarks fitting to the occasion.
AS previously stated, Mr.. Grau merely
retires from the active management of
the business, but remains director and
large stockholder in the enterprise.

Evidences Of Prosperity, as Shown by
County Records.
When a Record Union reporter
called on County Recorder Cohn yes
terday to learn the amount of fees re-
ceived during the month of March, that
official said:
The business of this Office is a pretty
good indicator of the industrial progress
Of the city and county, and the transac-
tions of last month make a most ex-
cellent showing. The fees for record
ing instruments-chiefly deeds to prop
erty-amounted to $451 20, an increase
of $1S6 20 over those of the correspond
ing month last year.
There were 23O of these documents
filed for record. Since January 1st the
number has been 941, and it was away
in April last year before that number
was reached.
Another thing" said Mr. Cohn, that
is worthy of mention is the fact that
the number Of contracts let for new
buildings has been greater the last
month or two than at any time in the
past. These facts mean great deal

conclusion of which Nicolo, a ruined

daughter to some one Of means He
fixes the deal with Snarleyow, a SNUG
gler captain, but the daughter has al

Sinbad, her first love, is dashing young

first act is the chorus Of milkmaids.
Fresco endeavors to sell them some of
his songs, and sings his latest, "And
the Band Played On" Count Male
detto Spaghetti appears in search of an
heiress. A chorus chimes in and sings
"Oh, Who Will Win the Price?" after
which Snarleyow and his smuggler
band sing I'm Rover of the Sea. .
While on land Nicolo and Fresco plot
to sink the ship. Chaos ensues when
Snarleyow tries to abduct Ninetta, and
the act ends with a grand operatic
finale. The next scene is the deck of
the Roc, Snarleyow's vessel, painted by
Voeghtlin. The succeeding scene shows
the depths of the ocean, painted by
Dangerfield. The first scene in the third
act represents tropical isle. During
this act many of the specialties are in
troduced. The second scene is the
jungle, and the third the frozen valley
of diamonds, one of the handsomest
scenes ever put on the stage, and is the
masterpiece of artist Dangerfield. A
grand ballet, led by Mile. Ferrero, the
famous premier, then takes place, rep
