TOO SOON FOR PROPHEsYING

Is the Opinion of Ex-Hayor Grant-Thinks
MIR. Bryan Should Wait Little.
New York November S.-The Jour
nal and Advertiser prints the follow
ing letter from former Mayor Hugh J..
Grant concerning Mr.. Bryan and the
recent New York elections:
THE conclusion of Mr. Bryan that
the results of the recent election in
dictate popular dissatisfaction with the
policy of the Republican party is I'M
doubtedly correct. His declaration
that they 'presage the overthrow of
the Republican party is not entitled to
the same credence as his conclusion.
81 heartily hope that the Republi-
can party will be overthrown in 1900,
but it is early for any one but an
enthusiast like Mr.. Bryan to make up
his mind what will happen three years
hence.
Most of the George men are en-
thusiasts, who believe that if a theory
to which they subscribed could be put
in operation upon the affairs of life,
the condition of society would be
made better. Others of them were be-
levers in the 16 to / theory who were
led astray by their enthusiasm. All
of them-single tax enthusiasts and 16
to | enthusiasts-ought to have been
Democrats. The latter would have
been with them if Mr.. Bryan had not
deferred them. He was 'sufficiently
acquainted with the local situation in
New York City in 1896 to talk about it
with complete assurance. He ought
to have been able to make himself &C
quainted with it in 1897.
"He did nothing for the local Democ-
racy this year. Every suggestion OF
his words or acts was to our disad-
vantage. The secretary of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, who is pre-
sumably very close TO him in sympathy,
repudiated the candidacy of Judge Van
Wyck on the ground that Judge Van
Wyck did not stand upon the silver
plank of the Chicago platform and gave
to Mr.. George whatever support he had
to give, although Mr.. George did dis
tinctly repudiate the silver theory.
The trouble with Mr.. Bryan and the
secretary of the national committee is
that they cannot adapt themselves 10
changing conditions. They insist upon
following certain theories and in disre-
gearding peculiar conditions of life
which must affect the influence of
those theories in the various part OF the
country.
I'VE are Democrats who insist upon
taking things as they are. l shall be
happy if. three years hence. Mr.. Bry-
ans present prediction Is verified; but,
do not take much interest in predic-
tons that have so long to run. Many
things are likely to happen between now
and 1900. If they happen as Mr.. Bryan
thinks they will happen. they will JUS
tify his assumption of the role of q
prophet If they do not, Mr.. Bryan will
be grieved. In any event the Democratic
party will remain

LAST SUMMERS STRAW HAT.
Useful Tip for the Economical Young
MOmnn.

Useful Tip for the Economical Young
Woman.
Last seasons straw hats, II not broken,
may be made to look as good as new If the
economical young woman is inclined to make
the effort. white straw should be well
brushed and the stffening wire removed.
Then wash it over with a good suds made
of clear water and white soap, scrub with
q nail brush. Then 1t should be rnsed
by dipping up and down In clear water. If
any stains still remain a little lemon Juice
should be rubbed on the spot with the brush.
If more convenient a diluted solution of
oxalic acid may be used instead OF the lemon,
but the greatest care ought to be taken
of this acid II there chance to be any chill
dren in the house. After the hat has been
dried in the open air 1t should be sponged
over with the white of an egg well beaten up;
this will make the straw taut, and also
should be dried on fiat surface and some
times have weights books are good to press
them in shape
To bleach straw there are several very
good methods which can be done at home
with slight expense and trouble The hat,
after being scrubbed as directed above,
should be suspended in close barrel or boy
with burning sulphur. Cover the barrel
and allow to remain inside from one to two
hours. Another way Is to cover the hat
over with paste made of sulphur and sweet
milk. 1t should be dried in the hot sun and
rubbed off with a stiff brush. II the hat is
greatly stained lemon juice should be used
in place of milk. In the same way a paste
of cornmeal and vinegar may be used with
great satisfaction.
When the hat is only slightly soied and
where there is less time to be spent on clean
ing, thorough rubbing with a nail brush
and dry cOrnmeal Will prove very efficacious
and only require few moments work.

James C. Crosby of Peabody, Mass, and
Mics Katie Birney, his fancee, were held
mp and robbed on the night of the 5th while
driving in Baker street, near the common,
in Salem, Mass. 1t was one of the most
audacious assaults and robbcres ever com
rnitted. the victim being compelled to hand
over his watch to the robbers and his
money and other valuables would have been
taken also but for the presence c. mind of
the woman, who whipped up the horses
enabling them to escape. The two had been
to see circus performance. The team was
halted in dark place by two highwaymen,
one of whom grabbed the horses by the bride
while the other threatened Mr.. Crosby with
club. This fellow swung the club most
menacngly. He wanted money, he said, and
ID he did not get 1t the man and woman
would be killed, The attack was so sudden
that Crosby had not fully recovered his
senses. He was unarmed and was afraid the
men would carry out their threat He
placed his hand in his pocket and pulled out
his watch, which the robbers eagerly took
1t was at this point that Miss Birney proved
her bravery. She had watched the proceed
ings and was apparently overcome by fright
but while the robber was off his guard for
an instant, when he took the watch, she
grabbed the whip and struck the horses
singing blow. The animals swerved to the
right and became released from the mold
OF the other man, and dashed away up the
street. The robber who had taken the watch
was knocked down and run over.
