SALEM, H., July 15.-The citizens of Salem have been in a state of activ- ity dor days in preparation for the grand demonstration given today in honor of Bryan. Every tree on every street and every yard has been white washed in response to a proclamation issued by the mayor of the city.

There were terrific peals of thunder. At length rain broke and came down in torrents
 In ten minutes the bunting, flags and draperies which looked so attract i've in the morning were almost ruined. Darkness increased until it was all most impossible to see across the street. It was an ordinary thunder storm, and owing to the darkness caused a. great deal of alarm Accordingly there was no reception or speaking. Bryan and his party leave tonight for the west.

 No Law.

 Alaska papers just in say that Juneau saloons have been acting on the theory that there is no law that can reach them and defy the authori- ties daily. Ten days ago when the ex- cursion steamer Queen was in port the women tourists were subjected to indecent comments from rowdies thronging the saloons.

HARRITY EXPRESSES HIMSELF
He Is a Democrat and Yet a Gold
 Man.

PHILADELPHIA, July 15-William A. Harrity returned from Chicago to- day. MT. Harrity was not disposed to express himself regarding the Demo cratic platform or candidates. He did. however, make the following state ment:
 Since my return to Philadelphia my attention has been called to a report sent out from Chicago during conven- tion week to the effect that I had de- clared that I am a Democrat and after that l am sound money man. There is no foundation whatever for such statement. It is a pure invention and editorials based on it which have ap- peared in some of the Philadelphia, Boston and New York papers are both unjust and unwarranted. I am a Democrat and a sound money man, too, not afterwards, but at the same time, and I shall do nothing whatever during the coming campaign that can possibly be regarded as a surrender of my convictions upon the currency question or upon any other vital ques- tiOn,'

FAILURE AT CENTRALIA.
The Bryan Meeting at That Point Was
 Badly Managed.

CENTRALLY, H., July 15.-For some reason the ovation that was giv- en to William J. Bryan here last night was almost a failure Scarcely 300 people all told were at the station when the train pulled in bearing Mr. Bryan and his wife.
 To make matters worse the place selected for MT. Bryan to meet the crowd was at the city park which had already been engaged by William D. Mason, a Republican candidate for the United States senate from this state. On this account MT. Bryan and his friends had to vacate before o'clock. A big majority of the crowd that came to the park appeared to be Republicans who had expected to listen to AEr. Mason talk. There were frequent cheers for Mckinley and then the friends of the Democrat would shout for Bryan, Altgeld and free silver.

A PECULIAR CASE.
An Old Lady Says She Was TMcked
 Into Signing a Note.

LOS ANGELES, July 15.- The trial of case of peculiar interest was begun in the superior court this morn ing. An elderly lady of considerable wealth, Mrs. Louise M.

SewaIl Believes Bryan Will Convert the East-Harrity Still for
 Gold.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-J. H. Tur- ner, secretary National committee of the Peoples Party, has issued the fol- lowing statement, note of which was made yesterday:
 '@The result of the late National Democratic convention is undoubtedly triumph of Populism. A large DOT tion of the voters in the Populist party in the south and west were originally Democrats and left the old party be- cause it was dominated in every con- yention by eastern Democrats who represented Wall street and the mo- nopolists of New York and New Eng land l feel that I would be one of the worst enemies of the Peoples Party and it's principles should I not take a step at this time that I believe will culminate in a complete triumph of every demand made by the party. We have advocated union of the south and west in order that we might bring about the necessary financial re- forms. Now we have the chance of bringing all our hopes and desires to a grand consummation. The truth of it is that the only point we now have to decide in whether or not we will take MT. Bryan, whom every goldbug in the country has denounced as a Populist, for our next president of the United States, or whether to take MT. Mckinley who represents everything the Populists have denounced as just the opposite of everything they have advocated since they have been a party. Looking at it from this standpoint l feel that in the election of MT. Bryan Populism has triumphed, and when l say Populism T. mean the great con- mon people of the United States, the masses have tr1umphed against class es and should MT Mckinley be elected the classes have triumphed. The Eng fish gold standard has been perma- nently fastened upon all lines of in- dustry in this country and there will be nothing left for us but serfdom that will undoubtedly bring bloody revo- lution in the near future''

 "Oh," said MT. Sewall, they will all come back into the fold In the west the people are enthusiastic over, the ticket. MT. Bryan is a very strong man. When he comes east he will en- deavor to convert the gold men. I have no doubt but that when he pre- sents his views clearly before the peo- pie in the east they will be won over to his side.''

Nightingsles In Turkey.

I looked westward toward STEAMBOAT
and Scutari and Marmora and the sun
set and across to the Asiatic shore, into
the defile of the hills down which Dari-
us led his host $500 years ago. This
way, too, the Turk came. Behind are
the Anatolian hills, and eastward the
greater sweep of the ocean channel Of
the Bosporus, with Therapeia and Buy
ukdere the seats Of foreign embassies,
and, far on the horizon, the sea rock of
the Euxine. The enthusiastic president
says that the view toward the west is
the finest i'll the verdi. Perhaps Go
and see for yourself, and go in June. Go
at midnight at the full of the moon and
look and listen on that noble terrace, as
the river sweeps around the base Of the
hills, flooded with dreamy light and
singing the low and mighty chant of
the tides, as vessels glide, noiseless, up
and down with ghostly sails; as the
white palaces ON the shores CLEAN ike
cubes of solid silver, and the green hills
cut sharp against the eastern sky, and
the nightingales are singing.

Railroad Car Wheels.

1t perhaps is not generally known to
the travelling public that most Of the
wheels used on railroad coaches ON the
Central railroad are made in Germany.
Some English and American wheels are
in use, but for the heavy coaches and
Eleepers the German wheels are general
]y used. These wheels are manufactured
at Essen by Krupp, the great ironmaster
and maker of big guns. The standard
size is SO inches in diameter, although
many 33 inches in diameter are in use.
The German wheel differs from the Eng
lish wheel in that the body of the wheel
is Of solid iron, while the English wheel
has short spokes. There are fewer bolts
in the German wheel than in others,
and therefore less chance for anything
to shake loose.
The strain ON carwheel is something
tremendous. Formerly they were made
entirely of cast iron. They were liable
to crack easily, and the rims wore rap
idly. All first class carwheels are now
made with solid steel tire nearly two
inches thick. 1t stands the friction Of
the rails for long time. In straight
running the wear ON the wheels is gen.
orally even. Where cars have to travel
over curves going in the same direction
every day in the year, as on belt line.
they are reversed several times during
the year. Albany State.

The Lord Chnncellor,a Purse.

When the lord chancellor enters the
house Of lords to preside over its deliber-
atoms, he is accompanied by his purse
bearer" This functionary, however,
does not carry the purse of the lord
chancellor, which would be a weighty re-
sponsibility, as his lordship draws a
salary Of el0, 900 year. The purse the
"pursebearer" solemnly carries, as. ar
rayed i'll court dress, he precedes the lord
chancellor to and from the house Of lords,
is gorgeous satchel, embroidered with
the royal arms and other heraldic devices
in white and gold and lined with the
richest silk. 1t is supposed to contain
the great seal. AS matter of fact, that
emblem Of a mighty sovereignty is new
er in the satchel. If it were, the respon-
sibility Of the 'pursebearer" woald be
great-mucb greater indeed than if he
had to bear a purse that carried salary
Of elo, 900 year.
The ceremony Of carrying the purse in
the house of lords is but one of the many
venerable tictions which play pictur-
esque part in the parliamentary pro-
cedure. The purse is placed on the wool
sack. 1t indicates that the lord chan
cellor is in possession Of the great seal
and therefore entitled to perform his
duties as speaker Of the house of lords.
