stolidly surprised, but with an air OF
resignation. The lady continued to
glance furtively toward the stand. When
George Fred Williams, the live silver man
of the Massachusetts delegation, took q
seat near her she scarcely noticed him. 1t
is said that Williams is looked upon as a
traitor by the Massachusetts people.
Their general treatment of him indicated
this. Doubtless, Mrs. Russell anticipated
that her husband, the widely advertised
boy orator of Massachusetts,, might be
nominated for the Presidency. Instead OF
that, the convention placed the wreath on
the brow of the orator of the West. LIS 1t
any wonder she was vexed, and that her
vexation was in evidence? ALI the hopes
of years were dashed to EARTH and her
hubby all but without party.
On the stage TO the right of Senator
White there sat with three or four friends
another lady whose face was hvid with
expectancy and bright with happiness.
Like Mrs. Russell her hair is dark, almost
black. She is of somewhat slighter build
and her eyes are dark, while her features
are regular and her face in every way
pleasant. She chatted gaily and smiled.
Mrs. Bryan is her name. She is the wife
of the man about whom every body was
talking because of his famous speech.
Life appeared to her brighter than to the
lady of the Bay State and her great happi-
ness we'll showed il. Later when her
husband was nominated and when every
body went wild with the Joy of it Mrs.
Bryan sat in nearly the same place and
expressed her gratitude to her friends.
She was composed in way, but her voice
tremhled G. n. Coz.

PUEBLO Colo, July Ex-senator Tel
Ter stated tonight to representative OF
The United Press his views regarding ex-
Representative Bryan in the following in
terview:
What do you think OF Bryan's nomin-

II consider the nomination an e1cep-
tionally strong one. Bryan Is an able man
of high character, a strong friend OF silver
and close to the people. He will make an
excellent President"
'Do you think he can secure the support
of the silver men who left the st. Louis
convention?"
'"rhe men who left the st. Louis con-
vention will make the silver question par
amount to all others. 1t is not question
of politics with them, but of principle. l
am not at liberty to speak for them at this
time, as have received several kilograms
concerning a conference to be held within
a day or two and asking me to withhold
any expression of their views until after
such conference"
81 believe you have said that if silver
man was nominated at Chicago all the
friends of silver should act together in his
support"
Eyes, / said we must for this campaign
at least overlook all minor differences and
put the country on sound financial sys-
tenn that recognizes gold and silver as the
money of the constitution. To that end
all the energies of silver men should be
bent. am still of that opinion and hope
to see that done, and if it is feel conf
dent of success"

Nert Meeting an California.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 1o-It is
settled that San Francisco will nave the
convention of the Christian Endeavorers
next year. That much was announced
officially to-day by General Secretary Baer.
To say that the Californians here in at
tsndance are happy would be stating the
case mildly. In speaking of the matter,
Roila V. Watt, chairman of the delegation,
who had labored so faithfully in the
cause, said that so. 600 Endeavorers should
be cared for, if nece ssary. He believes the
trip across the continent will be an educa-
ton to every Endeavorer. and wants all to
come and promises hearty welcome.
mot only will the Golden Gate be
opened TO welcome you, but the gates of
our hearts and our homes" he said earn
estly in conclusion.
In honor of the selection of San Fran
cisco. the badges of the Golden State are IN
demand, and the favorite song of the Cali
fornians. Sunshine in the Soul, F" is heard
on every hand. The singing has become
one of the marked characteristics of the
convention.
The delegates are beginning to sing in
the streets and in the cars as they go from
point to point in their sightseeing. Their
example is contagious, and Washington
ians are already beginning to learn the
IciIdluo Vi SuCu songs as 'OcdLJef sun
shine" and the Light is Come"
The visitors have been officially esti-
mated at 80, 900. and the total registration
OF the convention is about AZ, 600. There
are not quite as many here as were ex-
pected, but enough to make great gather
ing. filed with enthusiasm, philosophic
over the damp weather and firm in the be-
lief that the United Society of Christian
Endeavor is the greatest organization in
the world, belief that is shared by many
| of the people of the Capitol City.
Among those who delivered addresses
at Tent Endeayor this evening was Giles
Kellogg of San Diego.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 1O.-William
D. Warner, the United States Consul at
Cologne, has written the State DEPART
ment that ne has many inquiries from
American exporters as to European trade.
He says all complain of lack OF results.
Mr.. Warner says this is due principally
to the fact that American business men
rely almost entirely upon circulars. They
plaster Germany with printed matter, all
of which is ignored. The only way to en-
gage in trade is by direct negotiations by
personal work. He advises the sending to
Germany of good agents, intelligent men
acquainted with both the English and
German languages. He warns Americans
also not to stop with the establishment OF
relations with German agents at the sea-
ports, but to send men into the interior
and sell direct to merchants of the inland
cities and towns

speech of w. ]. Bryan. the boy orator OF

and she bit her lips yexatiously. Beside
her sat that other boy orator of the con-

formation was soon conveyed to the spec

none other than Mrs. Russell.
In moment many curious eyes were
gazing at her, but there was from all a
delicate recognition of her position, and
these eyes were soon withdrawn.
