SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Oct. 23.-The cap
ital city of the state of Illinois welcomed
the Democratic nominee witaka magnifi-
cent reception. Crowds that numbered
up in the tens of thousands listened to
him and noisily demonstrated their af-
fection for him and their belief in the
principles that he advocated.
Mr.. Bryan delivered two speeches in
Springfield, one at the courthouse and
the other from the front of the state cap
itol. From the platform erected near
the courthouse Mr.. Bryan spoke in part
as followss:
My friends, we are reaching the close
of remarkable campaign, the most re-
markable which has waged in this coun-
try within the past generation. Greater
issues are at stake today than have been
presented in recent contests. This elec-
tion will determine whether the influ-
ence Of this, the greatest nation on
earth, shall be cast on the side of gold
as the only standard money or upon the
side of bimetallism. On your votes may
depend that contest. Free silver may
triumph without the vote of Illinois, but
with the vote of Illinois free silver is GER
tain to succeed. We may have enough
electoral votes outside of Illinois, but we
shall certainly have enough If we secure
the vote Of this great Empire state of the
west, and the electoral vote of the state
Of Illinois may turn upon the vote of a
single citizen. I want you therefore,
when you come to cast your votes, to re-
member what responsibility rests on the
citizens this year.
Mr.. Bryan closed his first speech with
the following reference to Governor Alt
geld: feel that in this state, where our
candidate for governor Is so ably pre-
sentfng and defending the principles in
volved in this campaign and so convinc-
ingly presenting the paramount issues
of the money question, 1t is scarcely nec-
essary that any one else shall say word.
Because of all those who are today de-
Tending the money Of the Constitution,
there are none who is doing it more ably
or with more emphasis than John p. Alt
geld.
From the front of the state house Mr..
Bryan said: Upon the action Of the
United States may depend-aye, my
friends, I believe on the action of the
United States will depend the money
policy Of the civilized world. I believe
that when this great nation shall cast
its influence into the scale on the side Of
bimetallism, then the international BIZ
metallism which we pray for will be
brought to us, not by our following but
by our leading European nations.
(Great applause and cheering.(

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct.23.-A steamer
will be put on the Central American
route in opposition to the Pacific Mail
company in the early part of next
month. The vessel is now on her way
from the southern coast, and the bulk
of her freight room has already been
spoken for, the principal article of
shipment of flour. The old line is un-
able to accommodate the demands upon
it's steamers, and the merchants with
large orders from Guatemala and ad-
jacent countries have been compelled to
seen another outlet for their wares. One
firm alone has contracted to ship 5000
barrels of flour.
The steamer Acapulco of the Pacific
Mail company, which sails for Panama
and way ports on Wednesday next,
will have all the flour she can carry,
and, although she has not yet arrived.
the company has refused freight for her
for several days past.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 23.-Ex-Speak-
er Crisp died here today.
The end came at quarter to o'clock.
Mr.. Crisp had been an inmate Of the
sanitarium Of DR.. Holmes Of this city
for several weeks. His condition had
been reported very low, but no fatal
conclusion of his illness was expected
so soon. When the runlor got abroad
several days ago that he was sinking
it was denied at the sa.nitarium.
His untimely' death makes the choice
of senator matter Of great uncertain
ty. Whoever is named will be an advo-
cate of free silver.
Crisp has been at the sanitarium for
five weeks suffering from malarial fe-
yer. The immediate cause of his death
was heart failure.
Mr. Crisp had been in intense pain all
day. Every few minutes he would suffer
greatly, but no danger was feared at
such an early moment. His wife, to-
gether with the sanitary nurse, Sharp,
was watching at his bedside.
At quarter to o'clock Mr.. Crisp was
seized with another attack. and quite
suddenly he passed into the calm of
death. The watchers saw it, and sent
down stairs for DR.. Holmes. Judge
Crisp's two daughters. Mrs. Fred Da-
venport and Miss Bessie Crisp, and his
two sons, Charles f. Crisp, jr.. and
Fred Crisp, were at the Ballard house.
They were quickly summoned. When
they entered the room Judge Crisp was
still conscious. He gave them a look Of

died. He could not speak. So quickly
had the dreaded messenger come that
the stricken family stood appalled, in the
death chamber
Mr.. Crisp's death, while apparently
thus sudden, was not unexpected by
the physisians who have been watching
him. He had been declining for several
years. His last Illness. however. was
occasioned by an attack of malartal

and today escorted him. Railroad and

was the first stop. From stand near
the court house Bryan spoke to an as
semblage of thousands.
When he quoted Congressman Joe
Cannon in support of the free silver
doctrine, the crowd gave a noisy evil
dence Of appreciation. The quotation
from Cannon was: again the senate
amendment takes away the free coin
age of silver and leaves the free coinage
of gold. Now. silver is just as much a
money of the constitution as gold, and
should receive the same treatment in
every respect as gold"

today for exactly what Cannon asked for
eighteen years ago, but he tells you it
would be wrong for the country to have
now what we wanted then. But let

The reviews were to cover the ten
wears period between 1886 and 1886 and

nossible. The result of this is volume
Of 81 4pages.
Annexed is a summary of the findings
prepared by Frederick Emery, chief OF
the bureau Of statictics of the state de-
partment, in which he says:
Two important facts esem to be es-
tablished:
First-That there has been general
decline in the prices of commodltles'
especlally in certain raw products,
throughout the world. 1t is claimed, on
one hand, that this decline in prices
;s due to scarcity of money. and, on the
other hand. it is to be attributed 20
nrogress in invention and increased
manufactures, causing keener compe-
tition, with the inevitable accompanl-
ment of lower prices. 1t Will De hoten
that in Mexico prices have been steaoler
for articles which could be most profit
ably exported for gold. and that sharp
fluctuations, due to local scarcity Oh
nroduct. have occurred in such articles
AS wheat and corn, in which the prices
have been generally downward in the
markets Of the world.
Second-That there has been gener-
al advance in wages, especially marked
in the leading Industrial countries, all
of which have either single gold or
double standard with a gold reserve.
These statements are supported by a
table. which is annexed, showing the
following facts:
Great Britain, single gold, shows
general decline in prices of per cent,
and an advance in wages, except farm
wages, which are lower.
Belgium, double standard, decline IN
prices, except beet sugar; slow but reg
ular advance in wages.
France, double standard, decline in
prices except beet sugar; slow but regu-
lar advance in wages.
Germany, single gold standard. de-
cline in cereals pork and certain raw
products; increase in beef and many
lines of manufactured goods, general
advance in wages
Austria, gold standard. limited silver,
general decline in prices; advance in
wages.
Italy, double standard; general de-
cline in prices, especially farm labor
Mexico, nominally double. actually,
silver. no change as to food products ont
exported; advance in prices of imported
articles and coffee, meat, sugar; un-
skilled labor unchanged; advance in
skilled labor.

crease in prices. increase in wages as
measured in silver and paper.
The United State, double standard.

in the power of few men to corner the
money market and hold the rest Of
mankind at their mercy. Againhe says,
speaking of this bill as amended: 1T
is a step in the right direction, but I
would rather make it a whole journey
now than camp by the wayside with

We are going to give Cannon an op-
portunity to go to the journeys end,

Twenty minutes stop was made at
Paris, and here Bryan condemned the
money changers, to the great delight
Of a few thousand people, including
many farmers. At Charleston gaily
decorated platform had been placed on
wheels, and after Bryan and his party
ascended it, two strong hands wheeled
1t to a vacant lot, where Bryan ad-
dressed large crowd Of demonstrative
farmers. He spoke quarter of an hour
and his utterances were cheered repeat
edly.
A bowling, shouting, cheering crowd
welcomed Bryan at Decatur, where he
was down for two speeches and an
hours stop. The crowd surrounded the
car, and it was with difficulty that Mr..
Bryan reached the conveyance which
was to take him to the place Of speak
ing. Here the candidate was conveyed
in horseless carriage. When the
court house square was reached it was
impossible for the candidate to reach
the platform While the crowd was not
so large as at many other places, the
crush was the worst experienced in
many days. The shorthand men could
not get near enough to report the
speech.
At the second speaking place the NOM
inee did not dare to leave the vehicle,
and the police were powerless. The
press correspondents could hear one
word in fifty, perhaps, but were lucky
to do that. The return to the depot was
continuous ovation. 1t was hard to
keep the excited admirers Of the nom
inee from breaking over the police and
doing bodily harm in their desire to
show their affection.
At Sullivan Bryan met large crowd
of Republicans and Democrats. the ex-
cursion trains being about the depot on
hear ex-President Harrison this after
noon. In his speech Bryan said in the
senate some years ago Senator Allison
stated that when the secret history of
the passage of the demonetization act
was known. it would be known that
fraud was practiced. He was applaud
ed frequently.
Bryan referred to Altgeld as lone Of
the ablest champions we have" This
excited great cheering for Altgeld.
The greatest reception of the day was
accorded Mr. Bryan when he arrived
in Peoria this evening. The streets were
crowded and he was given a continual
ovation from the time he left the de-
pot until he started to speak. Three
meetings were held here-one in the
tabernacle, one in historic Rouse's hall,
to an audience made up exclusively of
trades union men, and third in the
open air OH the court house square.
Thousands were unable to gain admit
tance to the hall. and thousands more
were unable to get within sound of the
speakers voice at the open air meet
ing. 1t was near II o'clock before Mr..
Bryan finished his work and retired
to his car.
In the two speeches which followed
the tabernacle speech Mr.. Bryan dis.
cussed the silver doctrine along the
same general lines as pursued by him
at other places.

A STRANGE CASE.
A Mans Skull Broken. But He Will
Recover.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-William
Kennedy, we'll digger, astonished the
surgeons at the receiving hospital today
by refusing to die after his skull had
been smashed by crowbar which fell
a distance Of sixty feet and struck him
on the head. Kennedy was at the bot
tom of we'll and was hauling crowbar
to the top by means of a rope and pully,
when the bar slipped and struck him
a glancing blow on the head. Kennedy's
skull was cleft as if by a tomahawk and
his brain was laid bare for five inches.
He never lost consciousness and though
it took the doctors three hours to dress
his wound he still remained conscious
He talked continually and his chief
grievance was that the razor with
which they shaved his head was dull.
According to the doctors ninetynine
men out of hundred would have been
killed, but there is chance for Ken
nedy to recover.

A scheme in Color Photography.
From Harner,s Weekly.


James W. MacDonough of Chicago has
been experimenting in photography
for a number of years past, and has
worked out a scheme that is interesting
for its novelty and is seemingly practi-
cable Most experiments in this field
have been attempts to produce colors by
the interference of light-waVes in films
or transparent material las illustrated by
soap bubbles and mother-of-pearD, or to
produce the composite color effect of ma
ture by printing in colored
inks from number of plates
usually three( each prepared
by a single primary color. Some remarka-
BILE results have already been reached by
both of these methods. Mr.. MacDonough,
however, has gone to work in an entirely
different way. His plan is to have the
color on the sensitized paper before print
ing-red, green and blue lines ruled in
alienation. 300 or more to the inch. A
sheet of paper thus prepared appears
family tinted and would almost pass for
white. The negative is made behind a col
Ored screen ruled in exactly the same way,
Superimposed upon the paper in perfect
register, the negative is then used for
printing, and, owing to the chemical ac-
ton that ensues, the color is fixed wher-
ever the light falls, and may be dissolved
off from those spots upon which the light
has not fallen. For example, red point
in the object photographed rejects a ray
of red light. This ray encounter a red
line upon the screen before the negative
and fails to get through. The point just
beneath on the negative is unaffected, and
remains transparent after development In
printing, this transparent point allows
the red point on the paper beneath to be
affected, and the color becomes fixed at
that point. Thus, for every red point in
the object photographed a red point is
fixed upon the print, provided it happens
to coincide with one of the red lines. If
it comedies with a green or a blue line
the paper is left white at that point 1t Is
obvious that the outcome of his extremely
ingenious method Will depend upon the
success with which the inventor sur
mounts the mechanical difficulties Of rul-
ing and register, and the chemical diff
culties of fixing the pigments at the points
where the light strikes them. The re-
suits of his experiments will be awaited
with the deepest interest.

nationality in Ege-Eating.
From Tit Bits.


A mans nationality is betrayed to the
thoughtful observer by the maner in
which he eats his breakfast eggs. The
Englishman uses a dainty little cup into
which the eggs slide deeply. The shell
must be Clipped with the spoon, and it's
fragments removed with the same uten-
sill.
The Englishman next lifts the top por-
ton OF the white or cap. Then the condi-
ments are mixed on the plate into neat

egg are scoOped leisurely out due care

row pieces, dips each piece into the egg,
and eats the result. This he continues
to do until the egg is nearly empty, when
he takes 1t out of the cup and drinks the
remainder.
The German breaks his eggs-soft boiled
into large egg-cup, and spoons them up
like soup. The Italians cook eggs by
placing them in vessel filled with cold
water, which is allowed to slowly come
to a boil. When the water boils the eggs
are cooked, and, according to the Ital-
ians theirs is the only method by which
