Is there romance in the life OF
William jennings Bryan, which ne
has kept cacredly guarded from the
world! Tbs question is being asked
by members o. the party who accom-
panied NJ. Bryan on his tour OF Ken,
lucky last week. 1t was called forth By
al Incident which happened at L1ret.
TO, Ky. At this place there is school
for girls, which is IN chargo OF the
Nazarene sisters. When the Bryan
special reached Loretto the girls of the
school had gathered to greet the great
silver leader. Three hundred Of them
walked to the rear of the coach and
gsaSp ped his hand. Then the sisters,
who..were in charge, pressed forward
One by one they clasped his hand and
passed on. The sixth stopped. Il
was in the deep twilight and the lights
of the little tpwu were struggling in
the autumn haze. She raised her
cowl and locking up said.
Mr.. Bryan, knew you in the long
ago"
Mr.. Bryan was startled. he leaned
forward and name was whispered
in his ear. He still clasped the hand
of the nun, whose cowl had fallen
back and revealed face that showed
traces OF great 6eauty and evinced
person Of superior birth. There was
whispered conversation. Mr. Bry'
ans face lighted up. The crowd about
the train had fallen back and they
stood alone in the gathering darkness.
Then the bell for the train to leave
sounded, out still they talked with
hand clasped. Not until the train
moved slowly sway aud tore their
hands apart did Mr.. Bryan leave the
step OF the coach. Il knew her, long
ago." was all the explanation he gave
TO those o. his party.-Atlanta Jour

Complete returas Of fatalities on the
railways of the United States for tie
year ending June 80. 1895, show avery
high death rate among railway ena,
ployss. One out Of every twenty-e!gn;
men employed on our railroads was
rjored aud ore cut ofevary four hun.
dred and forty-four killed. Ihs total
number Of railway employees last year
was S26,620. OF this number about
80 coo were II jured snd 1850 were
killed. There is an immense dlscre,
pancy between the number o.
passengers AID the number OF
employees who are victims OF
railway scci6eots. The runo ber
of passengers injured last year was
one cut Of IT'S 1S2, while the number
killed was only one out Of every S27.
474. The frequent injury and death
of railway employees Is due IL large
measure to the failure O.: railwass to
take full advantage OF the best safety
appliances. Five years ago congress
passed 81 act requiring that all cars.
freight as we'll SIS passenger, rsed N
interstate commerce, should be 60 Mp
ped with sir brakes and automatic
couplers. Few OF the railroads So.
pear TO have taken steps to comply
with the requirements OF this Law.
TIE latest Interstate Commerce Re-
port shows that only $40 900 out Of
1,221,SS7 freight GERS used N inter
state commerce have been fitted to the
requirements of the statute. Accord
ing to the terms Of the law all cars
which cross state lines must be equip
ped with safety appliances by two
years from the first Of next Jsnusry.
The railroads have prepared in FIVE
years only about one-fourth OF their
cars as the law requires; they have
only little more lnan two years IN
whcih to prepere the other thee.
fourths, an6 Jne number OF interstate
commerce cars is constantly increas-
ing. It seems probable that when
the tins Emit sx oires many railroads
will be found repared to comply
with the law which is designed to give
better protection to the lives and limbs
of their employees. As very heavy
penalties are fixed for iailura 10 &c So
it behooves the railroad authorities 70
quicken their pace.

ang provinces in southern China. Au.
gust 81 the bandits scaled the walls Of

capturing the provincial prison and
releasing three of their members con-
fined therein. One band tore down
the prison, setting free several hum
dred mlrderers and thieves and i'm
prisoned debtors. Another gang at
tackled the central part Of the city,
first numbering the magistrate who
had sent the three bandits to prison.
His entire family, numbering 80, in
cluding the servants, were killed. The
night was spent in staying and plum
dering. All mandarins and every
civil and military officer in the city

in jured exceeded 14.0C0. The insur-
gents mum bsred $4,000 men, half OF

GROVER CLEVELAND
Tells the Tax Assessor He is Worth
$15O.OOO

New York, Sept. 1O.-A dispatch from
Trenton, N. J., to the Herald is as fol-
lows:
The county board of assessors met to-
day to adjust the assessments of the
township and municipalities of Mercer
county and to fix the tax rate.
The assessors were greatly pleased by
the statement presented by the assess
orS from Princeton borough, who ex-
hibited the return blank made by Gro
yer Cleveland, who gives the borough
a little lift by frankly acknowledging
the value of his personal estate. He
affixed the value of his new home at
$4,000 and his personal property at
$780, 900. He says in his remarks that
this is near as he can get at the
value of his securities, because of the
uncertain condition of the market and
the huctuating value of stock. There
is an increase of 81, ,000, 900 in the valu-
alton of the county, and $500, 900 of this
is in Princeton township. Half of it
comes from Grover Cleveland coming
into the county.

WHITE HOUSE READY.
President Expected to Return to the
Capital Monday.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Orders have
been received to have the White house
in readiness for occupancy by the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley any time after
September 10, and consequently there is
considerable hust1ing about on the part
of the domestics of the executive man>
sion. While there is no certainty as to
the exact date of the return of the pres
idential household. it is believed that
Monday of next week will find the presi-
dent in his office prepared to resume busi-
ness.
An impression prevailed that a cabinet
meeting would be called here on Friday
of this week, but no such intimation has
been received by any member of the
presidents official household. On the
contrary, it is believed that Tuesday will
witness the first union of the president
and his advisors since their vacation
There has been little, if any, change in
the private portion of the White house
Mrs. Mckinley could go into her apart
ment tomorrow if she desired. Whatever
changes and alterations have taken place
in the mansion during the presidents alb
sence have been in that portion of the
house which is usually overrun by the
public.

Carlisle Football Schedule.

Philadelphia, Sept. 10.-The Carlisle
Indians have been in quiet but syste-
matic practice for month. They have
done only light work but have trained
faithfully. Punting, running with the
ball, and tackling were practiced until
September 1, when Bull took charge of
the team. Preliminary work will be
done until the 18th, when Mccormick

and bring them into shape. Following
is the schedule arranged:
Oct. 2.-Dickinson at Carlisle.
Oct 16-Princeton at Princeton.
Oct 23-Yale at New York.
Oct 30-Pennsylvania at Gettysburg
Nov. 3-University of Pennsylvania

amining the works and defenses of that
famous arsenal and port, which as a mili-
tary engineer the young captain will be
able to appreciate.
From Cherbourg he will again proceed
to st. Chamond, where he will meet Col.
Mondragon, who is commissioned by the
Mexican government to examine and test
the improved Mondragon breech-loading
rifed cannon being manufactured at the
great steel works of st. Chamond, which
furnish the greater part of the artillery
now used in the Mexican army. 1t is un-
derstood that Col. Mondragon and Capt.
Diaz will together also test a number of
cannon of the Bange type, ordered from
these works. 1t is probable that Capt.
Diaz will return to Mexico with Col.
Mondragon after the military commits
sion has terminated its duties in Europe.

NO GOVERNMENT RATES.
Banks Must Pay Regular Rates Here
after on Currency Shipments.

New York, Sept. 10.-The treasury Of
ficials were today served notice
from the department from Washington
announcing that the special govern
ment rate on currency shipments had
been withdrawn and that banks and all
currency shippers will,in FUTURE have to
paw regular express or mail rates.
1t has been the custom of the treas
ury department to make special carry
ing rates when gold was rendered. The
special rate was in many cases 100 per
cent less than that charged by express
companies. 1t is surmised that the
government was led to take this step
because of a mistaken idea on the part
of many that gold was desired to fill
the vault of the treasures.

RECEPTION TO M'KINLEY.
Several Thousand People Greet the

Somerset, Pa, Sept. 10.-President
Mckinley gave up last evening to a
public reception and hoped to be per-
mitted to rest the remainder of his Wis
it. The crowd at the reception number
ed nearly 5000 people and as many peo-
pie gathered in front of the endslie
residence, while the Salisbury band
serenaded the presidential party.
President Mckinley appeared on the
porch and in a five minute speech
thanked the band and the crowd for the
serenade and then introduced Governor
Lowndes of Maryland, who spoke in a
happy vein for ten minutes. In re-
Spouse to calls from the crowd the
President and Mrs. Mckinley appeared
on the porch and were loudly cheered.

GAIETY GIRLS IN GOTHAM.
Chappies Are Pleased and "In Town"
Promises a Long Run.


New York, Sept. 1O.-The Gaiety girls
from Mr.. Edwarde's Gaiety theater, Lon
don, opened at the Knickerbocker theater
last evening in 1.-The Town"
The piece gives ample opportunity for
just such carvings on as appeal to the
chappies, and even provides a relaxation
TO the jaded patron of the more serious
stage
As a whole the piece is clean, though
there were some moments in the second
act when the performers were. to
speak, skating on very thin ice, and at one
time one could almost hear it crack.
1t is safe to say that prettier lot of
girls has ever come from the Gaiety, nor
brought handsomer costumes with them.
What does it matter that the main
story of In Town has seen service upon
the farcial stage long before John Maddi-
son Morton began to turn out his pieces?
1t doesn't obtrude itself. 1t is very
modest sort of story. Occasionally, when
there is nothing else Ndoing, when the
comedians are getting their second
wind and the girls are changing their
costumes, the plot bobs up with an
apologetic little cough for its presumption
and takes the center of the stage. But
soon there is more whirling of lingerie,
more singing and dancing, more relays of
pretty girls, and then you forget all about
the plot and are supremely happy once
more
OF Dr. Cars music it must be said that
It fully answers the purpose for which it
was written. 1t is light, pleasing, and
one or two numbers are of the kind
know as Catchy
The lyrics as rule are clever more so
than those of the average English musi-
cal force. The girls are all pretty and
many are talented, so it is safe to pre-
dict a run for In Town.

perfect plan which will result in To-

towards aiding the enterprise.
The first meeting to talk over the
