to excuse me from talking any further in the
presence Of the noises against which VIC have
to combat today.
Then S. A. Crandall, of Norwich, pro-
ceeded to apologize, saying:
AS to the young men who have made 1t
impossible for you (Mr. Bryan TO speak to-
day, ask you addressing Mr.. Bryan not to
believe that they represent Yale, any more

out into the world men, sir, like you, wLo
nave been an honor to their university and
to their country. in congress, in business and
In every walk Of life Great appIause.)
The meeting then ended, Mr. Bryan
coughed violently as he was driven to
the New Haven house, and was ap-
parently exhausted after his effort
In speaking Of his reception at New
Haven, Mr.. Bryan said he did not at
tribute it to the sober minded citizens
of New Haven, but to the younger
members of Yale college. He said he
thought the boys were out on a lark
and did not represent the sentiment
of the citizens or of the students of the
university.

WANTS HIM TO TRY TO CROSS.
LETTER FROM THE BINGHAM
CELLOR.
BIcYcLIsrs FOR SOUND MONEY.
WheeImen Organize a CIub-Police
Capt. Day Dead-MinneapOlis
Matters.

The Hon. Gustav Donald of Daven-
port, To-, editor of the Iowa Reform,
Democratic weekly newspaper de-
voted to the interests of sound money,
delivered a two-hourS' address to an
audience of Germans last evening at
the West Side Turner hall. His address
was given under the auspices of the
German American Sound Money league
of Minnesota, and handled the money
question in a comprehensive manner.
1t was given in the German language.
In brief, he said that money must have
an intrinsic value and cannot be Gre
ated by government fat The none
tary system of the United States was
discussed, showing that the gold stand
ard was not established by the act of
1878. but by prior legislation, notably
the acts of 1884. 1887 and 1853 Under
our present system the silver dollar is
coined by the government and is in
possession of the government, as the
government holds the bullion in it's
vaults Under the present system the
government receives the profit, that is
the difference between the coinage and
commercial value of the silver bullion
Under the free coinage system the sill
age. Under the present system the
government is in honor bound to main
tain the parity between gold and silver
coin. If we should now go to a silver
basis, we would be like the creditor
who could pay 100 cents on the dollar,
but says to his debtor: II will settle
with you on a basis of so cents to
the dollar" The Germans in this coun-
try have ever stood for the honor Of
the flag, and for liberty and rights Of
the people. In the Revolution German
soldiers formed the body guard of
Washington, and when Lincoln made
a call for troops they were the first to
enlist.
The speaker then discussed the
money question from the standpoint Of
Germany, and showed that until 1871
Germany was practically upon a silver
basis, although there never was free
coinage Of silver in Germany. Speak
ing Of the Bismarck letter to Gov. Gull
bertson Of Texas, the speaker said it
amounted only to a suggestion that
this government make the attempt to
coin silver in free and unlimited
amounts. He said it was like when
number Of people were to cross a
swamp, the one with the highest boots
would go In first. Bismarck says to
Uncle Sam: You have high boots and
should try the swamp first. In case
you get across safely the rest of us
fellows will follow you"
The speech is said to have been one
of the best ever given to a body of
Germans in this city. Matthias KEGS
presided over the meeting.

Council Committee viii Take Ac-
ton Later.

A joint meeting of the council COM
mittee on ways and means and an al
derman from each ward Of the city was
held yesterday afternoon, to take action
regarding the statement recently fur
nished by City Comptroller Nye, with
reference to the estimates of the diff
ferent municipal departments for next
years appropriations. The report must
60 through the committees hands and
take it's chances with the pruning knife
before 1t can come before the council
A meeting of the council will be held
tonight and it was hoped that the mat
ter would be in such shape as to be
disposed of on this occasion But
owing to the absence Of most of the
heads of departments, and to a gem
eral desire to postpone action until the
state board of equalization has made
known the result Of its deliberations.
the committee adjourned for one week.
1t is important that the committee take
action before Oct. 10, as the city charter
provides that all estimates for a gen
eral fund must be decided upon before
that date.
The committee on street grades and
additions took a real lively fall out of
the Mcleod Stone company A repre-
sentative OF that concern appeared be-
fore the committee meeting and handed
in petition for the opening of a GER
tain thoroughfare near Maple Hill GEM
etery, to be known and designated as
Cemetery street. 1t appears that there
is an excellent chance for a stone quar-
ry in this vicinity and it was shown
that If the street was opened up it
would be Of great benefit to the COM
pany, but Of little use to the surround
Ing residents. The committee, there
fore, promptly refused to grant the Pc
tition. Aid. Phillips remarked that
oh,

The committee on ways and means
at Its Individual session, sat down hard
on proposition made by Secretary
Danforth, Of the Commercial club
through Mayor Pratt, to secure an ap-
preparation of 500 from the council
with which to purchase 500 copies of
Leslie's Monthly Magazine, the same to
be used for advertising purposes 1t
seems that during the recent carnival
representative of that magazine was
in the city securing data for an Illus
trated article descriptive of the Twin
Cities. This article will appear in a
special number to be issued Oct. Is. IT
was suggested that 1000 copies be pur-
chased by the city and placed at the
disposal of the heads Of the different
departments who could send marked
copies to various points, thus adyeI-
Using the city
BY UNANIMOUS vote the committee
refused to consider the proposition and
Aid. Harvey voiced the sentiment Of
the others in remarking that the city
was pretty well advertised at present
and that here was no occasion for
blowing very loud on the municipal horn
until next year. Besides that, there
was no money at the disposal of the
committee for such purposes.

Polish Catholic Congress mt Buffalo
StOrnx

BUFFALO. N. Y, Sept. 24.-There
was no general meeting of the Polish
Roman Catholic congress until late In
the day the different committees be-
Ing hard at work. The meeting of the
Polish National Alliance committee
was an exciting one. Dean Pitass ad-
vised all Catholics to abandon the de-
position of the present alliance lead
ers, the alliance then to be taken into
the fold. When the report of the COM
mittee was read to the full congress
and vote called for its adoption u
regular riot ensued. A rush was made
for the platform, many delegates be-
ing carried off their feet. Matters were
assuming a decidedly dangerous aspect
when Papal Delegate Mr.. Warwar-
Zyniak mounted a chair and beseeched
the delegates to come to order. 1t was
some time before order was restored.
Then vote was taken and the report
of the committee deposing the officers
of the alliance was carried
At today's meeting of the congress-
OF the Independent Polish Roman
Catholic church 1t became a part of the
constitution that none ofs the members
should submit to thefrule of bishop
of the Romish church.

ARE NEARLY AT AN END.
Labors of the Prcsend Grand Jury
Finish Today.

The grand jury practically concluded
Its labors yesterday and will probably
make final report this afternoon. The
morning session was taken UP with
the examination of witnesses in a small
forgery case, and questioning report
ers for an afternoon paper relative to
It's reasons for printing a false state
ment to the effect that the jury had
been investigating a case and examin-
ing a witness which had never been
before the body.
In the afternoon Charles A. Cole was
called before the jury to give evidence
in the matter of the Jeffery building
fire last June. The jury was already
quite indignant at the publication of
what was supposed to be the statement
he had made, and was prepared to in
vestigate fully both sides of the case.
Several prominent business friends of
Mr.. Jeffery had taken action, and the
result was that w. L. Harris was on
hand armed with documents to prove
the absence of any motive whatever
on the part of the accused for setting
the fire. Mr. Harris had offered a
round sum for the Jeffrey stock, be-
fore the fire, in cash, the amount be-
ing so per cent more than could be Sc
cured for insurance, and, therefore, the
fire was an absolute loss to him.
Cole was not before the jury for a
very long period, and Mr.. Harris was
examined for three quarters Of an hour,
with his documents in evidence. Fol-
lowing him, Fire Marshal Pierce and
several people living in the vicinity of
the building were called. Seven wit
nesses were examined, five remaining
to be heard this morning. when the
case will be disposed of. The jury will
probably make a report in the case
this afternoon.
1t is generally believed that in the
absence Of any motive, which is prac-
tically certain, the jury will hardly
return an indictment.
The Insurance agents connected with
the insurance on the building, while
they admit they have not paid the
adjusted amount of loss, claim that the
investigation was not started by them
and that they do not know how 1t did
first begin. They will not talk about
the matter further

VARIOUS FOODS
And the Elements to Which Their
Effects Are Due.

AS compared with the nourishment
they give, fruits and nuts have the
least proportion Of earth salts Animal
flesh comes next, then vegetables, and
fourth in rank we have cereals and
pulses, which are shown to have the
largest amount of the earthly matters
From the analysis we see that fruits
as distinct from vegetables, have the
least amount of earth salts Most Of
them contain large quantity of water,
but that water Is of the purest kind
a distilled water of nature-and has in
solution vegetable albumen. We also
notice that they are to a great extent
free from the oxidized albumens-
glutinous and f1brinous substances;
and many Of them contain acids-citric
tartaric, malic &c.-which, when taken
into the system, act directly upon the
blood by increasing its solubility, by
thinning it: the process of circulation
Is more easily carried on and the blood
flows more easily in the capillaries-
which become lessened in caliber as age
advances-than it would be of thicker
nature. These acids lower the tenn
perature of the body and thus prevent
the wasting process of oxidation, or
combustion in the system. Exhilarat
ing and stimulating effects produced
by tea, coffee, and chocolate are caused

ter containing a smaller percentage OF
the stimulant than the others. All have
a similar alkaloid base.
Milk has become extremely popular with all
classes of physicians of late years Formerly
fever patient was forbidden to taste milk
In modern practice milk is about the only
food allowed. An exclusive diet of milk Is
found very effcacious in diabetes. At the
German spas, Carlsbad Wiesbaden, etc., a
very little bread is allowed, and the diet is
mostly made up Of milk, eggs, grapes and
lean beef. A non-starch diet is the rule,
bread, starchy vegetables and cereals being
almost excluded. Rice is easily digested and
an excellent food except that 1t abounds in
earth salts. Fruits not only digested In
the first stomach. but they have large part
of their nourishment already in a condition
to be absorbed and assimilated as soon as
eaten. The food elements in bread and ce-
reals have to undergo a process of diges-
ton In the stomach, and then be passed on
to the intestines for a still further chemical
change before they are Of use to the human
system. This is the great advantage Of a
diet Of lean meats and fruits.

HARTFORD, Conn, Sept. 24.-Will-
lam j. Bryan left New York to enter
upon his tour to New England at 1903
a. m. The programme had been
changed and crowds that gathered
about the station expecting to see Mr..
Bryan as he took the train suffered a
disappointment. At the station to meet
Mr.. Bryan were committees from New
Haven, Nantucket and Bridgeport,
The first stop was at Stamford, and
there several thousand people sur
rounded the car and cheered time and
again for the nominee. The train
stopped but for moment, but in that
time Mr.. Bryan had a chance to say a
few words. At South Norwalk the
crowd was about the same in size and
enthusiasm as at Stamford. They
called for speech from Mr.. Bryan, but
he told them that he was trying to save
his voice and he thought that they
would agree with him that it needed
saving
The most enthusiastic reception of
the day was that accorded by the cit
lzens of Bridgeport. When the train
rolled into the station. number of
carriages We're in waiting. In these,
Mr.. Bryan and his party were taken
the city, where Mr.. Bryan spoke to a
crowd of several thousand The meet
ing was presided over by Judge D. H.
Lockwood, of Bridgeport After the
speech Mr.. Bryan was driven to the
Windsor hotel, where he partook of a
llght luncheon. At 1890 the party left
for New Haven
There was big crowd at the depot
when the train bearing the Bryan par
ty pulled out Of New Haven at (
O'Clock. On board were members of a
reception committee from Meriden,
where big meeting had been arrang-
ed, but owing to misunderstanding
1t had to be cancelled at the last mo-
ment. At Wallingford, the next stop.
there was a fair sized crowd waiting
TO near the nominee, who made a brief
speech. There was a large crowd at
Meriden when the train pulled into the
station. 1t was expected Mr.. Bryan
would stop there forty minutes and
when at the end of three minutes the
train moved away there was a dis
appointed aSsemblage left behind
There was another stop at Berlin for
moment, just long enough to let the
candidate shake hands with those
nearest him.
Hartford was reached twenty
minutes ahead Of time and the com
m1ttee, in order not to disappoint the
people Of this. home Of Insurance com
panies, had the car switched off OF.
another track and the reception com
mittee and the nominee waited there
until the time they were expected. A
large crowd turned out to see him as
he made his way through the depot
and into the carriage, and they cheered
him enthusiastically. He was taken
to the Hotel Heublein, being escorted
by band and citizens in carriages
