SHOUTED THE SPEAKER DOWN.
Tactics Adopted by a bryan Crowd ~
Silence Sound Money Man.

From the Baltimore Sun, today.
An express wagon, with three speakers
and band of music, started out last night
from the headquarters of the Commercial
Sound Money Law and Order League, ou
North Liberty street.
The intention was to make curhstone
speeches at number of points in the GEN.
ter of the city, but at the very first stop
ping place, the corner of South and Balti-
more streets, those in the wagon found
that it was easier to plan speeches than 1t
was TO deliver them.
Mr.. Preston Brooks stood up in the
wagon, and, leaning out on the side nearest
the pavement over a muslin inscription,
My Country, 'Tis For Thee" began to
point out the advantages of an honest dol
lar. A crowd of two or three hundred soon
gathered, but, unfortunately for Mr..
Brooks and his fellow-laborers, they had
happened upon a throng of Bryan sympa-
thizers. Every sentence uttered for sound
money was interrupted by cheers for
Bryan, by shouts for free silver, the objeet
being to break up the meeting. Mr. Brooks
gave up the attempt in two or three min
utes and amid the tossing of honest money
literature and mingled cheers and groans
from the Bryanites. the horses were
started, and the wagon moved off down
Baltimore street toward Gay.
A number of stopping places were made
later in the night. and at each place
crowds soon collected to hear the speakers.
who, in addition to Mr. Brooks, included
Mr.. Harry j. Taylor and Mr. c. H. Van
the wagon trips each night until election
day.

''Oh, it's only a cold"

Is and what IL win do can Ice seen from the fol-

The Burnt Hay Wagon,

special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Frederick. Md, says:
The Lakeland Bryan and Sewan Club of
Prince Georges county, who were arrested
at Hyattstown Saturday, charged with set
ting fire to a load of hay, which also COM
pletely destroyed the wagon of John Grimes
of Clarksburg, Montgomery county, were
arraigned before a magistrate at Boyd's
Saturday evening and acquitted of the
charge. The members testified that they
saw no one in their party strike a match.
but, on the contrary, a number of witnesses
were produced who swore that Mr. Grimes
was seated on top of the load of hay smok-
ing pipe, which he admitted. 1t is now
thought that the hay ignited from sparks
from the pipe.

AN INTERESTING. GoD-FEARING PEOPLE WHO
HAVE GIVEN THE WORLD MANY IN
PORTANT DISCOVERIES

We may not accept their peculiar religious beliefs
nor can We enter into the spirit of their sacrifices
1t Is not necessary to believe rs they do. but we
can and do respect their sincerity Of purpose and
the honor and uprightness which marks all their
business dealings.
The Shakers have always been successful inven-
tors and some Of the greatest Of the cOnveniences
Of the present day found origin in their settle
ments.
In ono particular they excel all other men or
classes Of men. and that is ir cultivation OF med
icinal herbs and plants and their preparation for
use. They have made 1t a study for more than one
hundred years. 1t Is one Of their peculiar indus
tries. Their lives have been devoted to it.
Their latest and greatest achievement Is the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. 1t is not offered as q
cure for all diseases. 1t does not pretend to be,
tiOn.
Sufferers who resort to it's use have not long
to wait to the result. The effect is almost i'm
ntdiate. The first dose usually gives relief AMI
II continued permanent will follow.
1t not only contains already digested food, but it
digests food us well. thus toning up the general
system. An interesting pamphlet Is being
issued by the Shakers and he had for the asking

ALEXANDRIA AFFAIRS
Political Notes From the State Across the
River.
Cases I'm the Police Court and Local
News Of General Interest
to All Glasses.

The registration, as stated in The Star,
was heavier than usual, about 600 new
names having been added to the books
Stree the last election. The Bryanites
claim that many Of the would-be voters
are fraudulent. some being under age and
others nhn-residents. and it is said they
will prosecute those who can be located
for perjury.
The situation remains unchanged and all
the party managers are making a hard
fight to win. This campaign will be long
remembered, for it is the first in a long
number of years in which it has not been
certain beyond all shadow of doubt that
the democrats would poll a large majority.
There are many democrats who are op-
posed to Bryan and the free silver plat
form who. on account of party principles.
Will vote for him. and then there are many
more who will find it convenient Ito go
hshing" on election day.
Political meetings were the order of the
day in Alexandra last night and much
eloquence was displayed by the speakers.
Inc opera house was comfortably filled
with an audience under the auspices of the
Alexandra Prohibition Club. Judge II. T..
Moulton of Washington and Mr. E. b. Hig-
gins OF Baltimore were the speakers, and
IN eloquent speeches they called forth
much enthusiasm as they advocated the
cause Of the prohibition party. 1t Is said
that a large number of sound money demo-
Gratis will vote the prohibition ticket rather
than vote for Palmer and Buckner or Nc
kinley and Hobart. They are said to be in
favor Of anybody to beat Bryan and his
principles
In Sarepta Hall there was the regular
weekly meeting Of the Bryan, Sewall and
Rixey Club. with large attendance. Mr..
James r. Cation. one of the most promi-
nent members of the Alexandria bar ad-
dIessed the club on the issue of the day
Mr. Cations remarks were forceful and re-
ceived with rounds of applause. 1t needed
only the mention Of the name of Bry to
set the audience wild.

Gov. Lowndes has fixed December Is as
the date for the execution of James Smith.
the negro murderer Of Miss Margaret
Drown Of Prince Georges county, Nd.
Smith Is now in the Baltimore city jail.
where he will be kept until the morning of
the day Of his execution, when he will be
taken to Upper Marlboro and hanged soon
after his arrival To take a criminal on
such a ride to death is unusual, but it is
feared if the negro lis left a single night in
Marlboro Jail he will be lynched The
death warrant has not yet been read to
Smith, nor has he been informed of the
date set for his execution. Now that the
date of execution has been set death
watch will be kept over him IL. the Jail.

The King Street Sewer.

The work on the King street sewer.
which has been going on for several
months past, seems to be almost as slow
as the work on the new city post Office
building in Washington. 1t has been said
several times that the entire work will be
completed next week." but next week, like
tomorrow" seems never to have come.
The work which remains to be done could,
1t seems, be completed in short order if
sufficient force was put to work on it.
King street is in a very dilapidatcd condi-
tion, and very, very dirty, and it seems
impossible for 1t to be cleaned until the
sewer is completed. The work of putting
in catch basins is all that has to be done.
