w. j. BRYAN's CHANGED LOOKS.
Evidences in Appearance and Voice
of the Great strain He Underwent
Inst Ncnr.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Lincoln, Neb, Sept. 1l.-One of the top
les discussed at the recent gathering Of
the Nebraska popocrats in this city was
the changed appearance Of William Jen-
nings Bryan. Eastern people who looked
last summer upon the candidate of the
popocrats for President before he began
the grand tour would not know him at
first sight now.
Last November when he came home
from his long campaigning tour on cleo
ton day there was a strained look upon
his face. When the Sun correspondent
met him on election night at
his home his face had the
tense drawn appearance of one suffering
from great physical aud mental strain.
His voice was husky almost to a whisper.
His eyes had lost their characteristic
sparkle, and were duh end dimmed. There
were great puffs under each and his cheeks
were suuken and gaunt. Ii was just when
the first kilograms were being received
that told how Chicago and the central
west had surely gone against him. and,
though he showed no greater interest IN
the returns then the correspondents who
thronged his library, there was look up
AAAN~N 49,
gone.
He looked an old man that night. To-
day he looks even older The face has
rounded out again. but there is a greater
tendency 10 fiabDiness about the flesh of
the chin and cheeks, and new creases give
the effect of age to the countenance. His
black, bushy hair is worn much longer
and shows am increasing number of gray
strands. The small bald spot on the crown
has grown much wider and gives added
effect to the impression OF age.
Perhaps the greatest change of all is in
his voice. When he returned to Lincoln
last fall it was but a shadow Of its former
al charm and carrying ability enabled him
to hypnotic the delegates into making
him their nominee for President, but the
great strain he put upon 1t during the cam
pagn and his disregard of the advice of
the New York specialists who treated him
while there on his first visit have ruined
much of it's attractiveness and robbed II
OF noticeable amount of timbre. It's mu-
steal tones were its chief charm. Now these
appear only at intervals in his speeches.
His voice is now metallic and at times
harsh.
His friends say, too, that his nervous
system has not fully recovered It's tone.
He says that he IS well and feels no evil
effect from a two-hours' speech in the
open air; that his weight has increased
from 10 in November to about 30 now.
Physically ne believes himself able 70
stand a great strain, but few who have
seen him of late believe him capable of re-
peatlng even in part his campaign Of last
year.
Mr.. Bryan Is far from being a broken
man. but the strain he placed upon his
physique and his mental faculties last
summer and fall cost him ten years in
looks and strength.

shepperson ON the Cotton Crop.

Mr.. Alfred B. Shepperson, referring to
the governments report on cotton. says:
"In view of the fact that the governments
reports of the condition or the cotton crop
are always compared with it's reports of
the previous month and the previous year,
in order to form conclusions therefrom 1t
is Droper to say at the outset that the
final outturn of the previous crop has thor
oughly convinced me, as ! suppose 1t has
every thoughtful man In the cotton trade,
that the departments figures or Ga as
the condition of the crop on Sept. /, 1876,
were very much too low. The extent Oh
injury by the drought in July and August,
1886 was greatly exaggerated by the de-
nartnent and the actual condition on
Sept l. 1896, was likely nearer Y than 64.
The governments report of condition on
Sent. l. 1896 may as well be eliminated
(for all purposes of intelligent comparison)
and the department of agriculture might
very properly have revised 1t when II
recently made radical changes in It's esti-
mates Of cotton acreage for ten or twelve
years back.
1.-THE governments report of Sept. 10,
gives Is. Q as the average condition on the
list of September of the cotton crop for the
previous ten years Gncluding, OF course,
last years reported condition of CAD.
Discarding-the figures of last year, ana
taking the twelve years from 1888 back TO
1884 (both inclusive). l find the depart
ment's average of condition on Sept. to
be 81. This confirms my view that the
condition on Sept l was nearer 81 than
the departments estimate of 18.3. thlnk
the injury to the crop from all causes has
been exaggerated this season just as we
now know that the injury from drought
was exaggerated by the department OF
agriculture in its report to Sept. last
- - mo a
on Sept. was about 10 points better than
last year instead of AL as estimated by
the department of agriculture
calling the condition on Sept. ! as 81,
instead of 7S.3. would show .oss In con-
ditibn during month Of August OF 40
points instead of Sc as reported by the de-
partment.
For a series Of years the loss between
Aug. l and Sept. /, according to the de-
partment's reports, has ranged from 4 to
points. The best private advlces do not
indicate a loss in condition OF Sc points
during the month of August
"Ag the crop Is late in many sections,
and therefore liable to unusually great in
jury from early frosts, no prudent man
would make an estimate of the final yield
at this time, and / make none. The gov
ernments report, if taken in connection
with it's report of acreage and its report
of condition on Sept. / last year, would in
dictate a yield so large as to surprise the
usually conservative officials of the de-
partment of agriculture.
Il rather think that my Impression Of
the relative condition on Sept. l and the
corresponding time last year viii find ac-
ceptance with many in the cotton trade.
1t indicates, of course, a much smaller
crop than if the government reports for
both years are accepted as correct and
used for comparison"

CITIES MAY TAX SIDE TRACKS.
A Far-Reachcd Opinion Given by
CaroIina's Supreme Court.

A Far-Reached Opinion Given by
CaroIina's Supreme Court.
Columbia, S. C., Sept. 1S.-The supreme
court to-day filed an opinion in the i'm
nortant case of the Southern railway
against the city of Columbia, in favor of
the city.
The question involved was the right Of
the city to tax the side tracks within its
limits. Under the charter Of Columbia
the city officials assess the value OF the
main line and side tracks of each railroad
entering the city. The Southern railway
company claimed that the city authorities
should accept the valuation fixed by the
state board of assessors. In arriving at
the value per mile of road the state board
of assessors take the aggregate value of
side tracks and prorates 1t per mile of
main line. In this way the cities and
towns are deprived of the municipal tax
unon the side tracks within their limits.
In this particular case the city of Column
bia ,evied tax on twelve miles of the
southern's side tracks, which the South
ern refused TO pay.
The court says: I'VE agree with the
circuit Judge when he says; In my opin-
ion the city authorities Of the city of Co
lumbia under the said act and under 9th
er provisions of It's charter had a right TO
make an assessment upon the property of
the petitioners company at a valuation
fixed by the city clerk and treasurer OF
the city of Columbia, although such valu-
alton was higher than the valuation as
fixed and determined by the state board
of assessors
The case is applicable to every other town
and village in the state.

FoR IMPROVED COTTON BALING.
Changes Advocated by the Galveston
Maritime Association.

Changes Advocated by the Galveston
Maritime Association.
The Galveston Maritime Association has
issued a circular letter advocating better
baline and handling of cotton The circu-
lar is addressed to the farmers, glnners
and all parties handling cotton in Texas
and follows:
The marine insurance companies have
issued new tariff on cotton; the rates
are u per cent. higher on cotton raised in
Texas than on cotton raised in any other
state.
Placing the value of bale at $40 the in
creased cost is 10 cents per bale, or 100000
on crop of 100000 bales.
Who in the end pays this enormous sum
of $780, 900?
The only answer is the Texas farmer.
Just think of tan actual loss equal to
the value of 1850 bales of cotton, caused
by negligence, and who is at fault?
Up TO last year the insurance companies
accused the port of Galveston of allowing
cotton to remain on the wharves without
protection long enough for the bales to alb
sorb sufficient moisture to deteriorate the
cotton all around the bale, and especially
the end resting on the ground.
To place the responsibility where It be-
longs the wharf company at Galveston,
two years ago, covered all its wharves
with waterproof warehouses having plank
ed floors, but still country damage claims
come from abroad and as the damage
cannot occur here, the careless handling In
the country is responsible for that enor-
nous loss of $4,000 in insurance.
The cotton Is transferred here direct
from the cars 20 the warehouse and from
the warehouse to the steamers; there is
no possibility Of damage occurring.
The loss Of $4,000 can be prevented by
the farmers, cotton dealers and compress
