READS BRYAN'S HAND.
Palmist Tells Him He Would be Elect
ed on a Different Platform.

jamestown, N. Y, Sept. 4-WiIIiam
Jennings Bryan has had his hand read
by palmist. She was pretty blonde
haired woman in black silk skirt and
pIaided black and red silk waist. and is
a Chicago palmist. Mr.. Bryan's cam
paign handshake was grabbed and held
by he young woman who discovered
magnetism, dramatic ability, gift OF or
atOry, Hberality, bravery, sensitiveness
and other things in the lines.
She proved her ability as a paImist
by discovering ''he is extremely frank
and is sometimes too free to express his
opinions" and by refusing to tell him
if he would be elected or not.
That was to spare ME-. Bryan's feel
ings, for what the palmist says on that
point is:
If he were on another platform his
election would be undoubted.'

Bryan Defines an Honest Dollar to
Great Audience.

South Bend, Ind, Sept. An solid
mass on an open square in the govern
ment lot 5000 people cOngregted last
last night to hear VIM. ]. Bryan speak
on the money question. He and Mrs.
Bryan left the house Of Ben F. Sh1Vely'
Democratic candidate for governor OF
Indiana, whose guests they We're, and
were the central figures in a torchlight
procession composed of a number OF
Democratic campaign clubs from this
town and places in Indiana and Mich
igan who conveyed them to the gov
eminent lot Excursions from near
by places brought in immense crowds
during the day. Large cOntingents
came from Laporte, LOganspOrt, Mich
igan City, Elkhart, Buchanan, Valpa-
raise and Kalamazoo. Some OF the sill
yer clubs brought bands. On the plat
form with Mr.. Bryan were Mr.. and
Mrs. Shively and Senator Blackburn
of Kentucky. The latter addressed a
large meeting here in the afternoon.
Just after Mr.. Bryan began to speak
the premonitory symptoms of SIAM
pede occurred in the audience through
the efforts of many of those on the out
side to secure points of vantage. The
exterior pressure caused the solid hu-
man mass to sway and surge like bill
lows on the ocean. Many people were
carried off their feet and considerable
excitement was the result. Mr.. Bryan
ceased speaking and waited for the
disorder to pass. But the swaying
continued and Mr.. Shively arose and
made an appeal for order. He spoke
so cody and calmly that the crowd
ceased swaying to listen and the disor-
der passed away.
Mr. Shively presented Mr.. Bryan to
the audience. Mr.. Bryan was greeted
with cheers.
After a complimentary allusion to
the Democratic candidate for governor
Mr. Bryan launched into a discussion
of the silver question. There was
much noise and uproar in the out
skirts of the assembIage and he was
compelled to desist while Mr.. Shively
appealed for quietness. Resuming Mr..
Bryan said his opponents had been in
the habit of pronouncing the money
question too deep to be considered by
the masses of the people. In his
opinion our form of government was
based upon the theory that a man
ought to have the intelligence neces-
sary to sit in judgment upon any ques-
ton which might arise. He relied up
on the American people in this great
crisis. Here the uproar became deaf
ening again and Mr.. Bryan sat down
while Mr.. Shively appealed with those
who were shouting and crowding for
position to be quiet. When Mr.. Bryan
resumed he said:
Now the first question to be consid-
cred is what is an honest dollar. We
are a people talking honest money.
What do we mean by honest money?
Did you ever hear an advocate of the
gold standard give you the definition?
What you generally hear is that an
honest dollar is a dollar which, when

age at its mints. This characteristics of
gold, he argued, was given to it by
law and yet the gold advocates did
not recognize this fact Were the
same law to be applied to silver and
silver like gold be admitted to free
coinage at the minis, the value of the
white coin would suffer no more by
the melting process than does gold.
Mr.. Bryan insisted that it was dis
elimination in favor of the rich man.
vocates that free coinage Of silver
would drive all the gold out of circu-
lation Mr.. Bryan said: Il don't know
how you can crowd more absurdity
in the same number of words. Gold go
lions of it? Why, my friends, we have
no six millions of it in circulation to
so out under any kind of condition or
circumstances. But more than that we
do not believe that the free coinage Of
silver would drive gold out of circula-
ton. We believe that the free coinage
of silver would drive gold into circula-
ton, that which has been boarded in
order to get the rise in the value Of
dollars. (Applause.) Stop the rise in
the value of money and let the rise
commence in the value of property
and the men who are locking up their
money in their vaults will be wanting
to spend it before money comes down
and get property before property gets
up. (Czreat applause.) I believe that
free coinage will put money into cir
culation instead of taking money out
of circulation"

CHASE A TIGER.
Bengal Trick Animal Escapes From
Mains Circus.

New York, Sept. AFTER an exciting
chase through the south side of Long
island a Bengal tiger, which escaped
from Mains circus Saturday night at
Far RockaWay,was captured this after
noon and brought to Hampstead
Two farmers were awakened early
this morning by the bowls of the tiger
and by following the sounds went near
enough to learn that he was in SOpers
woods, just south of Hampstead. A
searching party was organized and the
animal was finally lassOed by Animal
Trainer Ferris. He was then tied to
tree until a cage wagon came to the
woods and took him to the circus
grounds at Hampstead.
Since he escaped Saturday the tiger
has terrorized all South Hampstead,
and many who thought they saw him
took snap shots at the brute Former
Town Clerk Francis Brill shot what he
thought was the tiger Monday night,
but did not venture out to invest igate
until morning, when he discovered a
dead mOngrel dog in his barn yard.
The brute is a trick tiger and is val
ued at 81 ,000.

Agitate.

While in conversation with Mr.. Rob
ert Pierce. president of the Chicago
Lumber company, a Journal reporter
questioned him as to the qualities of
Agatite,' a cement plaster of con-
siderable reputation, which the com
pany handles. He replied: "Agatite''
Cement Plaster is a natural cement
and the most perfect plastering mater
ial known. It does not differ widely in
composition from the cement taken
from the famous Cheops Pyramid of
Egypt. The Egyptian cement runs
higher in sulphate of lime and lower in
oxide of iron.

| it is melted, loses none of its value.
That is what you say is an honest dol
| lar. I want to say to you, my friends,
| that the man who gives to you that
| definition of an honest dollar has yet
to learn the principle of monetary sci
ence. Great applause) An honest
dollar is the dollar which retains the
same general purchasing power today,
yesterday and forever. (Applause.)
That would be an honest dollar. Pur-
chasing power is the test of honesty.
A dollar which rises in purchasing
power is just as dishonest as a dollar
which falls in purchasing power
Great appIause.) The only difference
is that when the dollar rises it helps
one class of citizens. When it falls it
helps another class of people and when
you find a person who is always afraid
that dollar will fall in it's purchasing
power you have found man who, be-
ing interested in having dollars grow
larger, is, of course, in favor of a gold
standard. When you find men who
will tell you they want a dollar of the
highest purchasing power, you may set
it down that you have a person who
believes in legislating the property
owning classes into profit by rising dol
lars. But the definition which I have
given to you as that of the advocates
dollar is the dollar which, when melt
ed, loses none of it's value, I say, over
looks the one thing in the dollar. Let
me tell you straight. Suppose all the
world should join and make our dollar
the unit under the standard and then
decide to gather 99-100ths of all
the dollars of the world and then
suppose the next day all nations
should get together and decide there
was too much money in the world and
sink them in the ocean. What would
be the result? You would have one
dollar where you now have one hum
dred dollars and, according to the def
milton Of the gold men, you would have
honest money because if you melted
one of them you would lose nothing in
its value. (Applause) Would they
be able to convince you that was
an honest dollar. No, my friends, and
yet that would be an honest dollar ac-
cording to the definition of the man
who thinks that the melting pot is the
only test of money.
Take the other side. Suppose that
after the nations had agred upon the
gold standard that somebody had
found enough gold to coin into one
hundred times as much money as we
have today. Where We now have a
dollar we would then have a hundred
What would be the result, why, it
would be honest money according to
the definition of the advocates of the
gold standard because if you melted
dollar it would not lose anything But
suppose you owe a man a thousand
dollars and pay him a thousand dollars
when there Is a hundred times as many
dollars it would not buy as much prop
erty as it did before. Would you be
able to convince him that you had
paid your debts in honest dollars? No,
he would have different ideas then
about honest dollars"
Gold is honest money because moth
ing is lost in melting or remelting the
coin, they say" Mr.. Bryan asserted
that this was due to the fact that the
government admitted it to free coin

A. H. Bates has been appointed re-
ceiver to finish settling up the affairs
of the old Kansas National bank which,
though solvent, went into voluntary
liquidation two years ago. All of the
banks liabilities have been disposed of
by the directors, who have been in
charge since, but there are some parts
of the business in which only the di-
rectOrs are interested that must be set
tied and will take time. The directors
felt that one man could do this as easily
as several, so at the request Of all par
ties concerned the appointment was
made.

Candidates File Your Pledges.

EDITOR ADVERTISER: The pub
lished rules of the State democrat
ic executive committee allow all
candidates for county Offices till
ten days before the primary elec-

an error and it is due to candi-

The constitution was amended by
the last State convention, and pro.
vides that candidates for county
offices shall file their pledges by
date of first campaign meeting.
As soon as / noticed the error /
wrote State Chairman lompkins,
who in reply says: 1.-THE commit
tee Overlooked the fact that there
had been a change made in refer
ence TO the time in which candi-
dates for county Offices should file
pledges. Everybody will of course

The campaign meetings will be
arranged next first Monday and
the date of the first meeting will
be the time limi' for filing pledges.
