Mr.. BRYAN AT CLEVELAND
Receives . Big Ovation From Ohio People
Makes Three Speeches.

Makes Three Speeches.
CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 2.-Candidate
Bryan has been the object of no other
demonstration so v%ociferous and SO
spectacular as that which the CITY OF
Cleveland gave him last night, and
nowhere else, with the possible ex-
ception of New York, have so many
people attempted to hear him. talk.
Two great meetings listened to Mr..
Bryan, the first in the Central Armory,
where 16, 600 people were packed; the
second in Music hall, which held 200,
and afterward he spoke to several
thousand from the balcony of the
Hollenden hotel. Bands and march
ing campaign clubs were numerous
about the streets and with thousands
CT strangers in its gates the city bore
a holiday aspect.
Special ain brought out of town
clubs in during the afternoon, 500
I'm on one train from Canton, the
members of the Bryan club of that
city with their friends; two trains
AIN from Akron and others from
Lora. ~Cuyahoga, and other Ohio and
Pennsylvania points.
The Armory doors We're thrown
open at ; o'clock, and fifteen minutes
after every foot Of space was filled to
the doors. Not only We're the aisles
damned, but men were climbing on
window stills high up and hanging in
all sorts of impossible places. In both
OF the Cleveland halls, as in most of
the other cities where Mr.. Bryan has
spoken, the police arrangements were
utterly inadequatoe The crowding
was us great as at the jamestown as
semhly Saturday, and any sort of
stampede would have precipitated dis
aster.
WorkinGmen were in a large major
ity at both meetings; they were free
and easy, peeling off coats, singing
and diSporting themselves generally
in a good-naturedly, turbulent way.
When Mr.. Bryan came down the
stage at 5 o'clock, escorted by Mr.. l..
&. Holden of the Cleveland Plain
dealer, he inspired a fierce cheer
which continued for three minutes,
with waving hats and ha~ndkerchiefs,
and was continued all the time the
temporary chairman was trying to
deliver his speech.
Before his arrival at Cleveland Mr..
Bryan made speeches at Chautauqua,
Mayville and Ripley. Much of the
country through which he passed
seemed to be Republican in it's COM
plexion. At Madison the Republican
club turned out with badges, banner
and bass drum, cheering Mckinley
and bowling at Bryan, but Ashtabula
furnished an enthusiastic crowd Of
1000, partly tree silver Republicans.

ORIGIN OF NAVAL TITLES.

Bnrrowsd military Tsrms from the ARA.
Bile. the Spanish and the Portuguese.
In the early days the rank Of admiral
was unknown: the chief officer OF
squadron was called . constable or jus.
tice. The term admiral as used now il
derived from the Arabic amir" or
'emir,"s commander las In ''Amir-al.
Bahr," commander Of the sea- The
early English form was "amiral, and
is still preserved as such by the French.
The Spanish and Portuguese forms are
"almirante," the Italian '.ammiraglio.' y
The title captain is not naval but .
military one, says the Brooklyn Citizen.
Under the older organization the real
captain Of . ship was master, but .
military officer was placed on board,
though he knew nothing about nauti-
cal affairs. Al the ecAptain became big

smaller and smaller until, at the pres
ent day, he fills subordinate position,

title of q navigating lieutenant.
Commodore comes from the Spanish
commentator. The title lieutenant,
borrowed directly from the French, is
more modern, and is meant as place
holder, or one who took the place Of
the captain when absent. Sub-lieuten-
ant is still more modern. and ct the
same time o misnomer, as he never was
n sub-lieutenant, but merely mate, or
one who assisted. In former days we
had NO cadets, but volunteers. How
ever, with the gradual advance Of po-
litenass, the more seemly term of cadets
was borrowed from the French, and
adopted us the title Of the young gem
tlemen in our navy.
In place Of paymasters, the ships Of
old had pursers, who looked after the
provisions. The naval purser did more.
He had charge Of the stores Of the ship
and the money chest. Surgeons and
surgeons mates fulfilled the duties Of
the doctors. Chaplains are of modern
introduction. Naval instructors and
schoolmasters ruled in their stead.
The term mate was rather universal
one and applied to all branches.

In Morocco iron is considered great

The lincal representatives, after all, Of
the hostile spirits. Hence it is usual

mans pillow, his illness, Of course,
being attributed to demoniacal pos.
session. In India, records writer in
Cornhill Magazine, the mourner who
performs the necessary but somewhat
dangerous duty of putting fire into the
dead mans mouth carries key or
knife in his hand, to keep of the evil
spirits. In short, a bit of iron is very
useful thing to have about you at any
time If you desire to escape the un-
favorable attention of the ghosts, the
trolls, the fairies and the demons gem
orally. This is good reason for buy
ing poclSetknife. 1t is also reason
for mailing up horseshoe, "But why
horseshoe in Particular" you ask,
more than any other odd piece Of
iron7" Well, primarily, the good luck
depends more upon the iron as iron
than on the special shape or function
of the horseshoe as horseshoe.
But there are also many reasons why
the superstition should happen to tix
itself more particularly upon horse
shoes. We must remember that in Eu.
rope, at least, it is the cattle, the horses
and the domestic beasts in general that
are specially liable to the hostile at
tacks of ''the little people," There
fore the elves and trolls are most likely
to be dreaded ON farms or in the coun.
try, where horses and cattle most do
congregate. Now, if you want to nail
up bit of iron as a protection against
the fiery darts of the evil ones on your
stables or cowhouses (which is the
place where one oftenest sees them),
nothing is more likely to come handy
to your purpose than cast horseshoe.
Besides, it has obvious congruity for
the place and object, and it can be
readily picked up in the roads almost
anywhere Furthermore, it is pro-
vided beforehand with convenient
holes, by means of which you can
readily hang it mp, either over your
own house door or over your sheds and
stables The various advantages of
cheapness, ease and readiness for fix-
ing would have given the horseshoe .
fair start in life, it is believed, as =
charm against fairies, trolls and evil
spirits generally, even without any
other more special advantages
