OF any nation On earth to relieve them
selves of the cause OF their distress. The
issue has been made. The people stand
ready to render their verdict next No

Mr.. Chairman: Unequivocally and
through sincere conviction, l indorse

pie are with us and what the people de-
clare Is always right and must prevail.

Upon the conclusion of Mr.. SewalTs
address, at precisely 1852, the meeting
was declared adjourned.
Talks TO 10000.
In Union square facing the Bartholdi
hotel. occurred just after the adjourn
ment OF the meeting at Madison Square
Garden. a scene that outdid in extent
those that took place in the hall. The
crowd of 5000 or 10000 people which had
been excluded from the hall, rushed into
the square stopping cable cars and
carriages, falling over each other in
their mad flight and screaming for Bry-
an. Mr.. Bryan said:
Fellow Citizens: When / left home
/ told the people l was coming to open
the campaign in what was thought to be
the heart of the enemy's country, but
which l hoped before the campaign was
over would be our country. Our hopes
nave been realized sooner thar we ex-
pected and wherever the enemy goes af-
ter this he will be in our country no
matter where he is.
Some of our f~inanciers have boast
ed h a they were in favor of gold,
but you shall teach them that they
must carry their ideas far enough to
believe not in gold but in the golden
rule that treats all men alike.
II commission you all as soldiers TO
fight, and as missionaries to preach
wherever you go from now until cleo
ton.
our opponents in the democratic par
ty have been threatening to organize
a gold standard democratic party. But
we are not afraid; you will search the
pages of history In vain to find a battle
ever won by any army of generals.

your opponents an example which
they have not set you. They have said
they represent the respectable ele-
ment OF society. Teach them that re-
cannot be manifested by
every nan who differs from
them in opinion.
II leave with you Just one injunction.
In this government every citizen is n
sovereign, and those upon whom the re-
sponsibility of citizenship rest owe it
to themselves, to their country and to
their God to exercise the right Of suf-
frage for the benefit of their country.
l beg you to do It, not only to investi-
gate, but find out what Is right, and I
beg you every one to have the courage
to vote you sentiments and let your
ballots register n freeman's will"
Mr.. st. John and Mr.. Sewall spoke
and then the immense crowd dis
persed slowly, shouting cheers for the

Lullaby of the Iroouois.


Little brown haby-b.rd, Tapped in your
nest,
Wrapped in your nest,
Strapped in your nest,
Your straight little cradle-board rocks you
to rest;
Its hands are your nest,
It's bands are your nest:
1t swings from the down-bending branch
of the oak:
Nou watch the camp flame, and the curl
ing ray smoke:
But, oh. for your pretty black eyes, sleep
is best.
Little brown baby Of mine, go to rest.
Little brow baby-bird swinging to sleep,
Winging to sleep,
Sing ng to sleep,
Your wonder-black eyes that so wide open
keep,
Shielding their sleep,
Unyielding To sleep.
Tho heron is homing, the plover is still,
The night owl calls from his haunt on tho
hill,
Afar the fox barks, afdr the stars peep;
Little brown baby of mine, go to sleep.

Whence Came Some Flowers.

Chambers Journal: From the Aims
came the ~ranunculus, and from Italy
the m%inionette in 1923, rosemary from
the south Of Europe in 1884, the Jasmine
from Circassia about 154S. The year
1867 saw the introduction Of four time
honored favorites, the auricula from
Switzerland. The pink from Italy, the
gillyflower and carnation from Elan
ders. Spenser, by the way, in the "Shep-
hearde's Calendar" Q579) classes the
c~arnation, which he calls Coronation"
with the purple columbine and the gilly-
flower as lovers flowers. Now the car
nation is generally supposed to have de-
rived its name from the c~arnatlon or
flesh color Of the original species. But
the word used by Spenser suggests that
"carnation' is merely an abreviatlon of
Coronation" I'm allusion to the crown
like appearance Of the flower, and it's
specific name, Betonica %coronaria.
The Pathological society's New
English Dictionary does not dcide
which Of the derivations is the only true
one, though one must have originated
In a mistake. Anyhow the shorter form
was common in Shakespeare's time, and
we have 1t, on Dame Quickly's author
ity, that Sir John Falstaff could never
abide carnation; twas a color he never
liked" Lavender was imported from
the south of Europe not later than 1868,
and the laburnum from Hungary about
1876; while Sir Walter Rawleigh Is cred
tied with having brought the snowdrop
back with him from his short lived COL
ony OF Roanoke, an island off North
Carolina, in 1884.

Chicago Tribune.
Letters from Europe confirm the an
nouncement Of the matrimonial engage
ment Of Antolnnette Szumowska, the pl-
anist. She is to become the wife of j.
Adamowski, n Of the cello players OF
the Boston symphony orchestra, a
brother of Timothee Adamowski, the

lar distinction of being Paderewskis
only pupil. Her family was exiled from
Siberia for participation in the uprising
OF 1854. After a few years the Szu-
mowskas were permitted to return to
Poland. The family estates having
been confscated the father became a
professor in the town of Lubin, where
Antoinette was born.
Her musical proclivities asserted
themselves at an early age. After study
ing at the Warsaw Academy Of Music
she became, In 1889, the pupil OF Pader-
ewski. For the last two years Miss Szu-
mowski has been a resident OF Boston.

Eo,, pIowing for Sugar Reefs

The Nebraska Experiment Station,
which has done much to promote this
industry. has published a special bull
letin, explaining how and why prepar-
alton of the land for sugar beets should

bic and weeds are plowed under, if
only to a depth Of three inches, the
better. followed by a spike harrow TO
make a loose layer of soil on top to
prevent evaporation. 1t has been
shown that land so prepared lost only
one-third as much water by evapora-
ton as land having a firmly packed
surface. Unless the land is very rich,
spread well-rotted manure after the
shallow blowing. which will add to the
yield ard probably something to the
sugar content. SubSoil and surface

done, pillow rs deeply as possible. The
extreme dryness Of the air and soil
in most sections where sugar .beets are
grown. makes ii important that man

and harrow thoroughly. In. the fail,
the plow can be run twelve or fifteen
inches deep, while il not done until
spring. it is hardly safe to turn up
the soil much below the average depth
of previous plowing-four to SIX inches.

Boston, Sept. 29.-Silyer Democratic
delegates TO the state convention
locked themselves in the hall all night
in order TO prevent being locked out,
as they supposed they would be, by
the gold delegates. In the afternoon
they nominated n state ticket, headed
by George Fred Williams for governor.
Other free silver delegates who did not
arrive in time to be locked in the hall
also formed Il convention and NOM
mated the same ticket. This ticket was
later Endorsed by the Populist state
convention. During the afternoon the
gold delegates secured n hall and NOM
mated a ticket. headed by Frederick
o. Prince for governor.
The most tragic and serious incident
of the night resulted from persistent
attempts to secure supplies, James
Hughes. a delegate from Somcryille,
losing his life in an Ofort to get out
of the hall by a fire escape in the rear.
Hughes was preparing to jump to the
ground. fifteen feet below, when his
foot slipped, and in trying TO save
himself he seized a wire dangling near.
The wire was Il live one, and with an
agonizing cry, Hughes fell senSeless
on the fire escape and then tumbled to
the ground, where he died before any
one could reach him. The news of the
accident reached the delegates within
the hall and they were aroused to the
highest pitch of excitement when J. II.
Mellen announced from the platform
and declared that it was n murder for
which the gold members of the state
committee were responsible. There
were several speeches in criticism of
the committee.
