Two More Cities Added

Irvington. N. Y, Aug. II. - To the
itlnerancy already published, Demo-
cratic Candidate Bryan has added Bal
timore and st. Louis. The fact that
Baltimore has been added at the special
request of Senator German. is evidence
that Mr. Bryan will assist Senator Cor
man in his Maryland campaign in re-
turn for assistance from the senator.
Mr.. Bryan appeared annoyed by the
story that he and Senator Jones were at
loggerheads over the choice of national
headquarters. He intimated that while
he had favored Chicago personally. he
had not demanded its selection, but had
left the choice to a number OF Demo-
cratic leaders, among them Governor
Stone, Mr.. Sewall, Senator Jones and
Governor Altgeld, and that the ma
jority had decided upon the western
city. The program of Mr.. Bryan. after
his vacation, includes speeches in Buf-
falo. Erie. Cleveland, Baltimore and st.
Louis. 1t is undecided whether the pro-
posed second New York speech shall be
made before Mr.. Bryan goes west or
when he returns to speak In New Eng
land. He said that it rested with the
campaign committee to decide whether
he speaks in New York again.

Stock Market.
Good Results Expected From
BOurke COckran'S Speech.
Sugar Is Still the Most Active and
Leads the List.

The market opens for the week Ia good
form, and with an increase on leading
stocks, which suggests that good news is
being discounted. 1t is more than a
spasmotic movement, and the causes are
obvious. There was a rally all along the
line from to points after Bryan's Madi-
son Square failure and now the good
effect is being furtLered by the anticipa-
ton OF Bourke Cockran's answer to the
silver candidate tomorrow evening at the
same place.
The assurance that the entire issue OF
three and a half millions Of city bonds,
10 be put out today by New York, is
another straw pointing toward relief
from recent depression.

Drain on a Kansas City Firm Discov-
cred, Followed by Arrests.

Kansas city, May 6.-The warehouse
Of the Western Hay company, on Elev-
enth street. near the freight house Of
the Kansas city. Fort Scott & Mem
phis railroad. has been robbed since last
fall, through the rascality of Jasper
Radford, a colored employe of the com
pany, Of many tons of hay. J. NJ. Glib
bons. manager of the company esti-
mates the loss at over $1,000.
According to a written confession

house Whenever he pleased at the rate
Of 50 a ton. Radford said that Brown
had hauled away many loads Of hay
worth SIS a ton. Radford carried a key
to the warehouse and in the early
morning hours, he says, Brown would
call with his wagon and carry away a
load.

Father Michael Delivers His Lecture
on That Subject at Hamilton Hall.

on That Subject at Hamilton Hall
A large audience greeted Father
Michael at Hamilton hall last night
on the occasion of his lecture on
''Woman's Worth 1t was one of
the most eloquent efforts Of the distin-
guished preacher in this city.
Father Michael first pictured the
purity and noble qualities of 2 true
Christian woman.
THE history of the church" he said,
is the history of woman, and where
religion is most practiced by individ-
uals and races, there you win End
woman purest and most noble. Where.
on the other hand. you md religion but
a name. you find woman a slave.
crushed down by fashion and passion
and by the husband.
Woman is threatened by two great
evils. no civilization and over civ
ilizatfon. The first undertakes her and
the second overrates her. The first
ruins by crushing down and the Sec
Ond by lifting UP. The first degrades
her mind, the second makes her dizzy.
'All concede this simple proposition
that woman is a woman and not a man.
Consequently, she must remain a WOO
man; but remember that man is fit
ted for the harder and woman for the
more delicate tasks OF life. as prov EN-
by her more delicate nature
ITO subvert this plan Of nature is to
degrade and not to elevate. Woman
can be the equal of man. but she cam
not be identical with him. The att
tempts of woman to overlap the
bounds and become mannish are as abb
surd as mans attempt to become we
manish or girlish.
