saulting Mrs. Mary Dingee, was sen
fenced by Judge Peck 20 four years i'm
prisonment Mt the Jackson prison. Nal
lett served three and one-half years for
highway robbery, and has been considered
an incorrigible citizen for years, and this
consideration, coupled with the heinous-
ness of the crime, prompted the public
to anticipate n long term Of years as
sentence to be pronounced by the Court.
But petitions for leniency were filed,
which proved of almost a sensational ma
ture. One of the petitions was signed by
III women, mostly married, and another
included most of the business men of the

SILvER,S GREAT SHOWING.
Twenty Thousand Bryan Enthusiasts
Celebrate Chicago Day.

SeleDrate SnicagO Day.
The silver men owned Chicago Friday
night. Twenty thousand OF them tramp
ed through the business center with
torches atlame. red fire burning and cheer
ing wildly for Bryan and Altgeld. They
filled Tattersalls' building to hear free
silver speeches and crowded around the
score of stands which were built ut street
corners 10 take care of the overflow They
formed groups ranging from fifty to 200
persons in all parts of the district, and
discussed the financial issue until mid
night. and long after the cable cars had
stopped running shouts for Bryan and
Altgeld woke up sleepers in all parts of
the city.
So far as numerical strength was con-
cerned. the silver parade was outelassed
by the gold parade of the afternoon, but
in enthusiasm and noise the Bryan men
led the Mckinley men by a large majority.
From the moment Grand Marshal Toll
man gave the order to march until the
procession broke up south of Tattersalls.
the cheering, yelling and hurrahing was
continuous. and every cheer for Bryan
was echoed by another from the thronC
which bordcred the line of march. The
sympathetic enthusiasm Of the spectators
was one of the principal features Of the
demonstration. and women joined with
the men in cheering for the free silver
champion.
BY actual count there were 81, ,54S men
and women in the procession on foot,
horseback OH floats and in wagons and
carriages. Over 500 women and girls
took part in the parade, and there were
several hundred boys. who carried ban
ners and were members of fife and drum
corps. 1t was an old-fashioncd torch
light procession, with some lime lights
and hundreds of transparencies and ban
ners. The silver men were short of
bands, for almost all union bands in the
city had been engaged for the afternoon
procession. and they were compelled to
make up the deficiency with fife and drum
corps, but they were strong on horses,
and the men from the stock yards made
a good showing in their saddles.
A West Side silver club caught the
crowd by shouting, 1--WE love Mark Han
ma. nit. !" "No Yale dudes in these ranks"
was painted in bold black letters on a
transparency, and others were, Bryan,
Brain and Brawn, against Bonds, Doodle

Great ThronG at Madison square Garden
Yesterday.

There was a big crush YESTERDAY at the Sports
mems show in Madison square Garden, and be
tween the amateurs who came to bid farewell to
the displays OF guns and rods and the ordinary
spectators on pleasure bent the walks between
the booths were nearly impassable. A similar
throng was in the Concert Hall, and it was as
difficult to move about in that treasure house Of
silver mugs and gold medals as to board a bridge
ear In the rush hours. The show has made
money. n official figures for the live days
ending Friday were ~ Gas, and II vas estimated
that l5.OOu visitors passed the galemen yester-
day. A fair share OF the profits Will be put into
handsome trophies 10 be given as extra prizes
at the different championship events in the
sporting world this season.
Perhaps the part OF the show that attracted
the least attention.. considering the trouble II
took to obtain the exhibits, was n collection OF
the rifles now in use in the armies of Germany,
austria, ltalY, Spain, Belgium, England. and
the | nited states. The effort to obtain "A French
ride failed, for such a close watch s kept on tine
arms doled out to the soldiers that II was inn
possible to get one unoficially, and the Govern

The exhibitors are well satisfied, and many
have already booked stands for next years

Miss Clinton had made the xylophons target
