BRYAN AT CHICAGO.


MILWAUKEE, Wis September T.
William Jennings Bryan left Milwau.
kee this morning for Chicago. A
large crowd saw him off.
CHICAGO, Ill.,, September 7.-Wm.
]. Bryan. with ex Governor Peck,
reached Chicago at 8 80 this morning.
His route was the same as that on
which he made his journey to MiIwau-
kee, Saturday. There were no demon.
strations on the way. About hundred
people recognized and cheered Bryan
at the Northwestern station here. He
was driven to the Auditorium annex.
The horse-shoers' union was gathered
in front Of the annex and large crowd
of spectators filed Michigan avenue.
Bryan was cheered as he entered the
hotel, but the crowd had not seen
enough OF him. "Bryan", "Bryan",
was the shout and after few minutes
the candidate appeared on the balcony,
bowed, and then retired to the demo-
cratic headquarters. The horse-shoers
had gathered in front of the Andito-
rum annex with purpose. AS soon
as Mr.. Bryan arrived they sent dele
cation to him with silver horseshoe
as an evidence OF support and an omen
of good luck.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, September 7.-At 10
O'Clock the crowd began to gather at
Sharpshooter's park where Bryan was
to speak aud at noon the crowd was
numerous. A few minutes after 2.half
dozen carriages, bearing Bryan and
his party, arrived at the park, followed
by cheering, running crowd of men
and boys. Without sufficient police
protection he was forced to push his
way through the crowd, and after
shaking half hundred outstretched
hands, he dropped to seat. The
Gro wd was fully $4,000 and was met met
ley and disorderly assemblage. 1t
was fifteen minutes before Chairman
Carroll could make himself heard. He
quickly introduced the man for whom
thousands had kept up intermittent fire
of "Hurrah for Bryan. The crush
around the platform was so great that
several women tainted. Bryan ap-
pealed for quiet and finally 1t was &C
corded him. The speaker began with
eulogy on American labor.

Ingenious Use of Photography.

Before the days of books parchments
became so costly that economical schol-
mrs erased more or less perfectly what
had been written. and used them a sec
ond time. III this manner some highly
interesting and valuable manuscripts
have been lost to the world. But in
many cases the ancient characters are
still family visible.
Twice-used parchments are called
palimpsests, aud many modern scholars
have strained their eyes in the effort to
decipher the original writing.
Recent photography has heen success
fully applied in Germany for this work.
The color of the faded ink of the older
writing on q palimpsest is yellow. A
photograph of such o manuscript was
made through a yellow screen. The
result was a negative on which the old
writing was barely d%iscernible, being a
little darker than the background. while
the later black writing appeared dis
tinctly rs white letters.
Next an ordinary negative on a brom-
ide plate was made. and from this was
proauced a transparent positive on
which both writings appeared dark and
about equally distinct. Then the trans.
parency was superimposed on the first
negative, SO that the dark letters of the
later writing covered the light letters,
representing the same writing in the
negative. They were thus eliminated,
being indistinguishably merged with
tho general dark background produced
by the combination Of positive and neg.
atire. But the earlier characters, since
they were dark in both caaes, appeared
in the combination intensely black and

They met and they talked where the cross
roads meet,
Four men from four winds come;
And they talked of the horse. for they
loved the theme,
And never a man was dumb.
And the man from the north loved the
strength of the horse,
And the man from the east his pace,
And the man from the south loved the
speed of the horse.
The man from the west his grace.
So these fou. men from the four winds
came,
Each paused a space in his course
And smiled In the face of his fellow man
And lovingly talked of the horse.
Then each man parted and went his way
AS their different courses ran;
And each man journeyed with peace In his
heart
And loving his fellow man.
They met the next year where the cross
roads meet,
Four men from the four winds come;
talked of God,
And never q man was dumb.
One imaged God in the shape of a man.
A spirit did one insist:
One said that nature itself was God,
One said that he didn't exist.
But they dashed each other with tongues
that stung,
That smote as with a rod:
Each glared in the face of his fellow man,
And wrathfully talked Of God.
Then each man parted and gent his way.
AS their different courses ra:;
And each man j%ourneyed with var i. his
heart,
And hating his fellow man.
