CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-The German
American Bryan and Altgeld club has
received letter from William J. Bryan
in answer to an address delegation Of
club members laid before him at ST.
Louis, September ~. In this address
they assured him of their support. The
letter is dated Lincoln, Neb, September
%, but really was written at Brooklyn,
and it is as follows:
The Bryan and Altgeld club of Cook
County-Gentlemen: am in receipt of
your address assuring me Of your sup
port in this presidential contest. and I
beg to express to you individually and
collectively my appreciation Of your
friendly interest. The fact that you or
your immediate ancestors have lived
under governments less directly re-
sponsible to the people, enables you to
compare the advantages Of our form Of
government with those of the fatherland.
My confidence in the good judgment of
our German Americans leads me to be-
lieve that they will be found among the
staunchest supporters OF bimetallism
and my faith in their patriotism makes
me certain that they will favor an indie
pendent financial policy for the United
States. I have been much gratified to

notice the rapid growth of the silver SEN
timent among the German-speaking
portion of our citizens. I beg to call
written by Prince Bismarck to Governor
Culberson Of Texas.
(Mr. Bryan here quotes the letter in
full)
The highest standing Of this great
statesman among the German people
and the respect felt for his opinion
throughout the world give great weight
to his words. II the gold standard has
been blessing to Germany he certainly
would not desire his country to abandon
the gold standard and restore bimetal-
lism. It is humiliating to think that
American citizens doubt the ability of
the United States to legislate for itself
when statesman like Bismarck Is will
ing to concede to the United States the
ability to lead in the restoration Of BIZ
metallism. The testimony given by
Bismarck as to the failure of the gold
standard to benefit Germany is likewise
true of every nation which has tried the
gold standard. The gold standard means
dear money and dear money means hard
times. This Is the universal experience
where 1t has been tried and only those
who desire hard times and profit by
them can in the end support the present
financial policy which the Republican
party desires to maintain so long as the
maintainenance of that policy is insisted
upon by foreign creditors.
Again thanking you for your cordial
greeting, am, very truly.
w. j. BRYAN.

stepped to the front to introduce Mr..
Bryan tremendous roar went up from
the crowd. When Mr.. Bryan finished
there was great demonstration. Those
who had listened to him with close at
tention crowded about the stand to
shake his hand. When he was finally
rescued from their struggles the crowd
sent up three cheers and the candidate
was driven to Mr.. Sewall's home for a
day of rest.
Mr.. Sewall said in introducing Mr.
Bryan: II have brought the great leader
Of Democracy to the greatest meeting
ever held in Maine"
After few compliments to Mr. Sew
| all. Mr.. Bryan went directly into his
argument. He proceeded with argu-
ments upon'the science of money. in the
course of which man in the audience
said: IF you buy silver at the present
price. how much can you get it made
into money for under free coinage?"
Mr.. Bryan-Under the present law
you could not have it coined at all,
but under the free coinage of silver you
cannot find man fool enough to sell
you silver at less than the coinage price.
A voice-But the government stands
back Of 1t.
Mr.. Bryan-The treasury would not
back silver any more than it backs gold.
That Is the gold standard idea that you
have got to back something. Bimetal-
ism gives you - . monies which back
themselves. Our opponents talk about
a flood Of silver. We have the unlimit-
ed coinage of gold now, and we are not
Hooded with gold to any great extent.
Suppose a free coinage law is in exist
ence, and suppose some foreigner who
old not like us We're to come here to
hurt US with his silver, how could he
do 1t? He could bring enough silver
bullion to have a thousand dollars coin
ed; the government would take the bull
lion and stamp it and hand the dollars
back to him. How would he hurt us?
know what you will say-that he will
take his silver and change it for gold,
and take it away. Will he? Where will
he get the gold? Go to the treasury
and get It? Not under bimetallism. Tho
government does not engage to swap
dollars. What else could he do? Trade
silver dollars for something else-soms-

sNowDEN IN TROUBLE.
Arrested in San Francisco for Felony
Embezzlement

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept 26.-Robert
Snowden, who claims to be q Journals
list, was arrested last night on q war
rant charging him with felony embez-
element. The complaining witness is
Mrs. Sarah B. Williams, a middle-aged
widow of Denver. She claims that
Snowden, who is % years old, induced
her to come to San Francisco on a
promise to marry her, and then cajoled
her out Of her jewelry and money and
disappeared. According to the womans
story she met Snowden in Denver some
months ago and after brief acquaint-
ance consented to marry him. He was
| in a hurry to get back to the coast at
the time, and she promised to join him
at any time he sent for her. In pursu-
ance of this agreement Mrs Williams
started for San Francisco, arriving here
in company with Snowden, who had
| gone to Sacramento to meet her, on
August 10th. The young man took the
widow to the Palace hotel, where she
registered and procured a room. For
some reason or another her intended
husband put off the marriage from time
to time until he succeeded in borrowing
all her money and jewelry on various
pretexts. Then he disappeared. Mrs.
Williams waited patiently for him to
turn up, but after several days began to
realize that she had been defrauded,
and that she was running into debt at
a fashionable hotel with nothing in her
purse to warrant her stay.
Mrs. Williams waited until her bill
had reached $50, when the hotel man.
agement insisted on payment. The Wild
CIV explained her position and was sent
away from the hotel, her baggage being
held for her bill. The woman was ut
terly penniless and was compelled to
seek shelter in charitable Institution.
Snowden says he met the woman in
Denver through newspaper personal.
(Snowden is well known In this city,
where he was for time employed on
the Evening Telegram, sheet long
since dead, but which at that time was
run by Sackett Cornell. He was ex-
plotted in the newspapers at one time.
when he married Pasadena woman
ten years older than himself, for what
money she had. He met this woman
through a newspaper advertisement
also.
He lived with her but a few months
and then left her. going to San Fran
cisco. She afterwards secured d.
vorce for desertion. In San Francisco
he was reputed to be the lover of Mae
Devon, woman of the town, and the
one who betrayed Harms to the police
of that city. Harms, it will be remem-
bered, is the man who found $4,000
buried by stage robber Jack Brady in
the tules near Sacramento. Her life
while with Harms was a gay one, but
she finally betrayed and deserted him.
Snowden lived with her for some time.
He afterward went to Denver. and only
lately went back to San Francisco. He
originally came from Baltimore, and is

dollar Is only worth so cents, Is is because
prices Of commodities are twice as high
and If the manufacturers can get twice
as many dollars for their goods as they
can for dollars now, why cannot he
pay his employees twice as much?
MIR. Cloush-But he won't do it.
Mr. Bryan-Then you stop telling your
employees you are interested in them
just before election.
Mr.. Clough-I am merely stating tina
facts.
Mr.. Bryan-You are stating what are
the facts. The employers never pay any
more than they have to pay. 1t is only
before campaigns that he poses as a
philanthropist. and then tries to make
his employees vote his way. Our system
will make demand for labor which will

Bryan at the Essex house by the Demo-

1I furSueS TWO EInlnently Respectable
 Ladies Who Could Not Agree.
 Not long ago there were two ladies stopping at the same boarding house. They were single ladies, be it said, and both highly respectable. But for some reason, says the Minneapolis Times, known only to themselves, they couldn't get along," and matters went between them from bad to worse till they quit speaking
 They both got tired, of course, living in the same house with mortal enemy, and finally both determined to. move. Arrangements were made, and, as luck would have it, both moved the same day. Lady No. 1 loaded up her house hold goods in the morning, and in the afternoon a dray pulled up and car ried away the trunk, shawlstraps, and other effects of lady No. 3.
 Lady No. was just composing her self to view the surroundings of her new lodging place, when a wagon stopped ct the front door and began to unload a collection of articles unmis- takably feminine. She sized up the trunk ard went downstairs, filled with a hcrriLle suspicion, to interview the Endlady.
 Her suspicious were true. They had moved iato the same house.
 There is no more to the story. Of course, they should have made up their differences and lived in Deace and char ity ever after. But they did not. Lady No. never got her trunk inside of the house.

How a Clever English Woman swindied
 WeIl-tO-Do Bachelors.
 The cleverest marriage swindle of modern times was perhaps Miss Evelyn Leal, areally distinguished-looking Eng lishwoman. She has been married and given in marriage at least 20 times dur ing the last three years, while she has been affianced as many times more dur ing the same period, and in every case has succeeded in obtaining handsome presents of jewelry, which she has i'm mediately sold for what they would fetch. Her system, says Lippincott's, was to write to some rich bachelor mer- chant in the provinces, offering to in- troduce him to the widow of an English nobleman with view to matrimony.
 Strange as it may seem, many of the provincial merchants took the bait, went to Paris, were introduced to the "widow of the English nobleman," all lowed to escort her to the theater, make

GOULD'S ORCHIDS.
The Great Financier Paid Excessive Prices
 for Them.

TOT mem.
 ''Shrewd as Jay Gould was in every branch of finance," flower merchant said to me the other day, "he had no idea whatever of the value of orchids his great hobby. The old orchid col lection up at Irvington has run down now, but during Gould's lifetime it was one of the finest in the world. The amount of money that had been spent on it, however, was enormous. Care full, conservative buying by an orchid expert would have gathered it together at almost fraction of the sum actually paid out. Many exquisite and rare va rieties were numbered in it, it is true, but an excessive price was paid for the most of them.
 1.-The old financier's ways in this were well known, and people with fine or chids to sell seldom failed to get the sum they asked. Actually, he used to pay as much as $50 at times for orchids that were hardly worth a quarter of that. In London he had agents COL stantly on the lookout for rare plants of this species, and he paid them prices that they could have obtained nowhere else"

HIS LEG IS PULLED.
That Is How a Southern Congressman
 Regards His Lot.

Regards His Lot.
 Some people may think that a con- gressman saves a pile of money out of his salary" said well-known southern congressman, who was talking to a Washington Star reporter on the vicis- situdes of running for office, and es- pecially for congress, "but a man has to be a small walking bank to accommo- date the large number of his friends and supporters who need little money for some urgent matter. In my state we have to make campaigns and appear before the people at meetings. We'll, 1 have never attended meeting but that I did not have some kind of a subscrip- tion poked into my face. Somebody wants something for a church and for missionary purposes or for helping some fellow who has been burned out.
 You can't avoid subscribing, and have to head the list with the largest sum. Then about the time you think you are through with having your leg pulled some lazy fellow will walk up and say: How do, gineral? had ter quit my work ter come out and hear you terday, and thunk yer mout giy' me a dollar While you have the greatest contempt for the man, you give him the dollar.
 "When you leave the meeting you are out anywhere from S20 to $50. These are just few instances of what candi- date has to spend money for. After he gets through the campaign and is elected he has to furnish every dead beat from his district who should happen to come to Washington with money. I've ac- tually given them money and railroad tickets to get home and have them go back and work against me-
