Burns at His Cupsf moi Worse
Than His Nelgybors.

Than His NeigTbors.
Strangely enough, There are not
many stories Of Bgfns in his con-
vivial hours. Lo92hart tells one
about a party Which had been
grievously annoyed by the pressing
Of a titled boreJ Burns as much as
any; though, gverawed by the rank
Of the boobyyhe had not only sub
mitted, but cbndescended to applaud.
"The grantee being suddenly sum
moned frJp the room, Burns inn
mediatelyi addressed the chair and
demandsata bumper. The president,
thinking the meant to dedicate a
toast to the distinguished absentee,
agreed. 'Gentlemen all, cried the
poet, ! give you the health of the
waiter who called my Lord So and
So away from us
Perhaps the best story Get egard
is that told by Provost Croech of
Edinburgh, who was the poets pub
Usher. Hogg quotes it to show that
Burns, if o hard drinker, was, at
least, not o whit worse than his
neighbors. An Augustine leird
(Connymoon his name was, after
that OF his estato) would drink
nothing but claret, so his friend and
w-tippler, George, made up
great number Of bottles, half claret,
half brandy, knowing that the laird
would stick to his quantity. Bon
nymoon dubbed it a "prodeegious
fine claret;" so down the two sat,
and drank for three days and two
nights with infinite comfort and
satisfaction. At the end OF the
third day Bonnymoon said, very
solemnly; "I'm not quite right,
George; I'm thinking that I'm not
entirely sober" Then you had
better go to bed" said the other.
mo, thank you, George" (still
very solemnly,) 81 never sleep away
from home when I'm the least bittie
in drink, you know" Away the
laird and his servant went, both
riding on capital horses.
The night was dark and very
stormy, and, as they rode across
the moor, off went the laird's hat in
a gust of wind. John galloped after
it and found it on furze bush.
"John," (plaintively), this is not
my hat at all; John, dear, go and
lo0lsfor the right one" There is
very little vale Of coclit hats here
the NIGHT, your honor" "But say,
John, this is not my hat; it would
hold two heads like nine I'll be
hanged but it has taken the wig
away with it, After long grGping
John found the wig and handed it to
his master. John, dear, this is not
my wig; just look at it; this is not
my wig at ALL" Gle had put it on
with the wrong side foremost) 'By
the witches O Wales, your honor, if
there's little vale O hats, there less
o wigs, on a NIGHT like this" They
rode on, and on coming to the North
Esk, the laird's horse dashed down
his head to drink, and off went the
laird into the river with tremen-
dous plunge But he soon set up
his dripping head. John, he cried,
what was that ava2" II dinna
ken; I thought it had, maybe, been
your honor "John," said Bonny-
moon, looking up from where he sat
In the river, ~ dinna understand
this, Can we no tell me what it was
that plumpit in the watter?" Get
up, your honor, and ye'n aiblins ken
when We haze sleepit the drink deid."

tnblfshment I'm IndiannpoIfs.
A dispatch from Indianapolis says: TT is
given out here today that Saks G. Co..
mems and boys outfittere of Washing
ton, d. c., and Richmond and Norfolk,
Va, have purchased the Model, one of he
largest and most popular stores in this
city. 1t is understood extensive altera lions
and improvements are contemplated that
will make the Model the leading Quitting
establishment in Indiana
In confirming the above report, Mr. Isa-
dore Saks said to Star reporter today: I'VE
have bought the Model because We have for
long time wanted store in the west
We needed another to complete our chain
This gives us four storeS-the one here and
the ones in Richmond and Norfolk, Va
The Model is one of the largest stores in
Indiana. 1t has a frontage of eighty feet
with depth of 200. OF course, we shall
carry Saks' methods into practice there
and we've made contracts already for re-
modelling the interior and exterior of the
building upon plans similar to the con-
struction of our Washington store. We
shall change the name to Saks & Com
pany.
This venture is of some ing ortance to
the Washington public" Mr.. Saks con-
tinued 1t gives us an increased outlet
| for the product of our manufacturing de-
partment. The greater quantities a house
can handle the better service it can give
to patrons. we make our customers part
ners, SO to speak, in our advantages. The
middle-man isn't a factor in our price. It's
short and straight journey through our
commercial organization from maker to
wearer.
IF the Indianapolis people are one-hal1
as cordial in their reception of us as ouI
| home folks have been We won't have made
| any mistake going there. If they are ap
| preciative of a live, enterprising policy
| backed by reliable merchandise, They'll

Thomas B. Reed was rendered a perfect

the West, and he said he thought the
same conditions prevailed in the West
as in the State of Maine.
I'VE are not following a man who
was not known six months ago" he
said, nor choosing a man or the prin-
ciples created quite recently. We are
not following any man who says we
believe We want proof, history,
facts. That is what the Republicans
give you
In conclusion, he said he praised the
honest money Democrats for their hon
esty and integrity. He said a political
party is ruled by its majority, and the
Chicago Convention was governed by
the opocratic majority, and that ma
jCrity is south Of Mason and Dixon's

THE WARSHIP BANCROFT
REPORTED TO HAVE SAFELY AR
RIVED AT SMYRNA.
After Coaling, the American Vessel
Will Proceed to COnstantinOple to
Guard the II. s Consulate.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ia dispatch
was received at the Navy Department
day from Admiral Selfridge, COM
nanding the American fleet in the Med
iterranean, stating that the Bancroft
had safely arrived at Smyrna.
1t is said by officials in the Navy De-
partment that the Bancroft must have
almost completely exhausted her coal
supply in the long trip across the At
lantic and up the Mediterranean Sea,
and that she undoubtedly reached
Smyrna with her bunkers almost clear.
The first thing that must be done is
tc coal her. and that will probably take
several days, as there is no great hurry
about it.
By the time she is ready for work it
is thought that the present complicated
condition of things may have been
Strengthened out, and she may be al
lowed to go peacefully and without pro-
test to her destination, which is ad-
nittedly Constantinople.
When the story first came out yes
terday that the Bancroft had been or
dored to proceed to Constantinople,
whether the Sultan consented or not,
a strong effort was made by those in
position to know to contradict the
story. To-day, however, they are less
anxious to deny it's truth. But while
partly admitting, they deny that there
is any danger of trouble.
According to the stories told now, the
Bancroft was sent to the Mediterra-
mean at the urgent request of Minister
Terrell, who predicted troublous times,
and asserted that the United States
needed a guardship at Constantinople:
and it was at his suggestion that the
Bancroft was selected as being a YES
sci sufficient for the purpose, yet not
formidable enough to give excuse for
any serious nrOfeSt

France.

HAVANA, Oct. 10 (via Tampa, Fla,
Oct. 1o).-The following is an account
OF the last fight in the Pinar del Rio,
gathered from information received
here from Spanish sources:
MaceO left the hills with about 1000
or 5000 men to meet an expedition
which had landed on the extreme point
OF the island, somewhere about DimaS,
which expedition, it appears, is not the
one brought by the Three Friends, as
reported, but one fitted out in France
or some other place with Cuban funds
collected in France, commanded by a
Well-known Havana lawyer named Fer
nando Friere Andrade. The expedition
appears to have been the most formid-
able ever landed in Cuba, and is said
to have consisted of about 5000 rifles,
1.0O0,0OO cartridges, 5000 blankets and
waterproofs, two or three cannon, dy-
Eamite, medicines, ETC.
General Weyler, being informed of
the landing, and that Maceo had sent
forces to convoy the expedition to the
hills, sent five columns, in combination
with each other, to intercept his way,
and If possible to capture the convoy.
AS a result of this combination there
occurred five successive engagements,
in which the Spaniards are said to have
lost over 600 men, without obtaining
their coveted object. Maceo is now re-
ported to have reached the hills in safe
ty without losing a single pack mule
on the convoy.
In all these enga gements Maceo has
outgeneraled all his foes and has dem
onstrated his great capacity as a mill
tary leader and his remarkable skill
and courage. Maceo having succeeded
in reaching his mountain strongholds
with the powerful elements he has now
obtained, it can be safely predicted that
it will be utterly impossible for the
Spaniards to dislodge him, as it would
require nearly a hundred thousand men
for that purpose, according to the opin-
ion of well-informed and impartial per-
sons. ThTe - no doubt that he has sus-
tanned great losses, but everybody be-
lieves that they are much smaller than
those of the Spaniards.
Calixto Garcia, with $500 men and
four pieces Of artillery, left the Bayamo
district recently in the direction of
Camaguey. He is believed now to be in
that province to join Gomez. His ulu
mate purpose is unknown.

uon the shorter day proposition was
taken up and discussed at full length
ne committee which had been appoint

that a nine-hour day be instituted

that the entire body of members of the

nominees address.
The largest crowd of the journey was
encountered at Ionia, which was reached
at 5:11. The street leading from where
the train halted to the Courthouse,
where Mr.. Bryan spoke, a distance of
more than a hundred yards, was
thronged with humanity, and when the
candidate mounted the stand erected
over the Courthouse steps he faced a
densely packed audience of between
5000 and 10000. Many bands had been
engaged for the OCCASION and the half
hour spent by Mr.. Bryan there was as
elaborate in display as he has had in any
town of similar size. The enthusiasm
was rampant.
AT 5:45 the Bryan special with a car
containing the Grand Rapids Reception
Committee attached, left Ionia for
Grand Rapids. 1t stopped on the way
at Lowell to let some people see the
nominee and shout for him and reached
Grand Rapids at 6:45.
From the time he reached Grand
Rapids until he went to his special train
and went to bed Mr.. Bryan was the re-
cipient of a continuous ovation. A cOu-
pie of thousand people were at the AL
pena, Grand Haven and Milwaukee
station when he arrived in company
with Charles r. Sleight, Democratic
candidate for Governor of Michigan. A
special trolley car took him to Crescent
avenue, where he got into a carriage
drawn by four white horses and was
carried off by roundabout way to avoid
the throngs in the streets to Campau
Square, and it proved to be one Of the
largest addressed by the candidate. A
fair estimate placed the size of the
crowd at 25,OOO. Mr.. Bryan was well
received. He was introduced by George
Hummer, Democratic candidate for
Congress in this, the Fifth District, and
made a twenty-minute speech ,and then
hurried off to the Powers House to ad-
dress an enthusiastic audience princi-
pally composed of ladies. The ladies
were quite enthusiastic in their recep-
ton of the candidate.
From the Powers House Mr.. Bryan
went to Lockerby Hall, said to be the
largest auditorium in the State, and
made his third and last speech to the
5000 demonstrative people packed,
jammed and huddled together there w.
F. Mcknight, who brought the Michi-
gan delegation over to Bryan at Chi
cago, presented the nominee, and John
w. Tomlinson of Alabama followed in
a speech that was heartily received.
When the nights ordeal was over Mr..
Bryan went to the Livingstone Hotel to
get Mrs. Bryan, who had been holding
a reception there with Mrs. Slight, Mrs.
Whiting and other ladies, and together
they were driven to the Union depot,
where the Bryan special was in waiting.
The train was taken to a siding out Of
town, in order that the candidate and
his party might pass the night undis-
turbed
