BRYAN AFTERMATH.
Notes after the Fact'-AIr. Bryan
Carried His Ice Cream to
the Engineer.

Dughi, the caterer, sent with mis-
compliments to Mr.. Bryan very elab-
crate piece in ice cream, large heart,
with the words "Our Next President
glowing in red letters from the heart
of the heart. 1t was set just in front
of Mr.. Bryan at dinner. After eating
portion, he gave several slices to ladies.
Then Col. Julian Carr sitting on his
left said, let me help you eat that"
NO" Mr.. Bryan said, you can't have
it, I'm going to carry it to our engin-
eer." And he took the plate in his own
hands and carried it to the depot and
with a pleasant word and a smile gave
it to the engineer of the Special"
While Mr. Bryan was making his
speech a bug flew down his throat. 1t
was only a moment before he ended
his speech. When he got to the hotel
DIR. Rogers took it out. Some one re-
marked that if it was a gold-bug it had
got in the wrong pew.
Mrs. Washington Wyatt presented
Mr.. Bryan with large box of the rare
blossoms of the night blooming cereus,
and he sent his thanks to her and car
ried them to Goldsboro with him. A
number of young ladies presented him
with flowers.
There was great deal of complaint
regarding the train service of the Sea-
board Airline. General Passenger
Agent Anderson passed through yes
terday, and he was asked why special
trains were not run for the accomoda-
tion of the crowds that wanted to come;
he said his agents had made a careful
canvass, and the management didn't
think it would pay to run the trains.
The train service on both roads was
very poor. The Southern's special
train from Oxford and Durham was to
have Immediately followed the "Bry-
an Special but it pulled in just as Mr..
Bryan closed his speech, 1t would be
hard to imagine a more provoked set
of people than the passengers who had
come all the way to Raleigh to hear
Mr.. Bryan.

very enjoyable feature of Mr. Bryau's
stay. The guests enjoyed hugely the

When the Special" pulled out of the
Union Station people were hanging to
the outside of the cars like barnacles
on vessel, looking through the win
dows to catch glimpse of Bryan
Speaking of the pickpocl1ets, Justice
Maroon said: ITS pity Mark has to
Send his secret agents around this way
to get up his campaign fund"
The beautiful display of incandes-
cent lights on the stand was the work
of the expert lineman of the Raleigh
Electric Company, who periodically
gave his services to the committee.
All who have torches which were
used in the procession will kindly re-
turn them at once to Metropolitan
Hall.
