The silver forces of the country
are expecting great results from
the contemplated visit of w. j.
Bryan and a number Of his follow.
ers to Mexico for the purpose, we
are informed, of making a study
of the silver question. Just why
MIR. Bryan should go to Mexico te
study the silver question in it's re-
lation to the interests Of the Unit
led States lis not made clear
though we are informed in quite
positive terms that his ''study" O
the subject will be very exhaus
tive. Mexico is selected, we pre-
| sumo, because it is about the onl,
country on the map which is on
silver basis. OF course Mr.. Bry.
an and his fellows do not adni
that free coinage necessarily mean
the adoption of the single silve
standard, but they feel that the,
can more intelligently study tn
subject in a country where fire
coinage has had that result.
If Mr.. Bryan really wants t.
enter upon an intelligent and com
prehensive study of the silve
question he cannot do better thai
by going to Mexico. It is abou
the only civilized nation that ha
unlimited free coinage and til
consequent silver standard. If h
finds the industrial, commercia
and social life of Mexico superio
to that of the United States W
earnestly hope he may say So
and stay there to enjoy it. If h
can convince the 100000 pecpl
who voted for him last fall tina
Mexico is more prosperous thai
the United States he can take the
large proportion of them with him
But the friends of Mr.. Bryal
| will excuse us when we say. tina
We do not believe he intends tt
study more than one side o. the
silver question in Mexico. He
goes there, not to be convinced
but to look for arguments. VIZ
have seen the reports OF other sill.

Bryan's report. That gentleman

does not reach up high enough to

ninth assembly of the Union. The
first meeting was not an annual.
The Auntie Brown Home

nrst meeting was not an annual.
The Auntie Brown Home.
DIR. Nash, of Illinois, asked per-
mission to present the matter of the
Auntie Brown Home in Akron. 1t
is proposed to raise fund to build
new home for this well-known and
widely beloved woman, who lives in
Akron, o. Mrs. Brown is the widow
OF Rev. John S. Brown, Universal
list preacher of New York, who died
many years ago, leaving her child
less widow and practically without
resources. She has devoted her life
to caring for the students who are
working their way through Buchtel
College, and many of the prominent
young men OF the Union are regarded
as Auntie Browns boys. She has
little house in Akron in which she
keeps sometimes as many as sixteen
students. When a student becomes
sick he is sent to Auntie Browns,
whether he has any money or not,
and he there received care and med
ical treatment. The house is now
growing too small for those who are
being taken care Of, and a new home
is required. The matter as presented
by Dr. Nash was received with great
favor by the convention, and many
of the photographs of the old lady
and of the Home were sold to add
to the Auntie Brown fund.
After this episode the Convention
adjourned until the afternoon ses-
sion.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
) . . : . . Q

The afternoon, beginning at 2
o'clock until $3.50 was devoted to
congresses. These included meet
ings of Junior workers under the
lead of Mrs. Garfield, national SUI
perintendent, and of the state officers
and the local officers. The two last
mentioned congresses were held in
! the smaller rooms of the church,
while that of the Junior workers was
held in the auditorium. Here the
workers were gathered for confer
| ence.
State Officers.
The conference of the officers of
State unions was more for the en-
lightenment of the state officers than
of interest to the general public.
Many questions were asked and an
swered about the conduct of the
general business of the National
Union, and suggestions we're offered
by the officers in regard to methods
and results.
School of Methods.
Secretary Garfield also conducted
school of methods for local officers.
Short addresses were heard from
many of these officials. The OBJ
ject of the meeting was the perfection
of the duties of the local officers, and
the discussion of methods continue d
until President Felt announced that
the time had expired.
The Belle Isle Excursion.
This excursion was appointed for
$3.50, and we allow the reporter of
the Detroit Tribune to describe the
pleasant afternoon. 1.-THE recreation
planned for Yesterday was trip to
Belle Isle by special steamer. When
the conferences had been brought to
a close by request of the presid ent,
the delegates and visitors started for
the river, and while they were en-
route there was as little room for any
body else on Woodland avenue. Most
of them walked down and filled the
sidewalks, their badges and banners
making very pretty appearance.
'The trip to the Island was made
on the Steamer Sappho, which was
we'll loaded. On the way up the
young people sang patriotic songs
and laughed and made themselves
as happy as could be. On the Island
they scattered out, some taking car
riages for a ride about the island,
others walking and some of them
not going but little ways to some
shady rest. There was no special
program laid out for them, and they
amused themselves as they individ-
ually saw fit.

EVENING SERVICES.

THREE ADDRESSES.
Another large congregation as
sembled in the evening, notwith-
standing the excessive heat, which
showed no dimunition from the high
temperature of tie afternoon.
At a quarter before s o'clock
spirited song service was led by Prof
Straub. President Felt presided,
and invited Rev. Ira A. Priest, of
Buchtel College, to offer prayer.

form to tender the congratulations
of his own church and the ministry
of the city who sympathize with the
work of the convention. Mr.. De-
Forest made an entertaining address,
EN- bracing many features of a broad
and catholic Christianity. He pre-
dicted the eventual elimination of all
denominational lines in matters of
Christian work.
"You know it is necessary now to
introduce men by their denomina-
tion," he said, referring to the words
in which President Felt had intro

The Saw.

Pliny says that the saw was first in
vented by Dedalus, but, according to
Apollodorus, it was the invention OF
Talus, who used the jawbone OF croco-
die to cut through piece of wood and
then made an iron instrument in imita-
ton of it. The saw is represented on
the monuments of Egypt from $500 to
5000 B. @. AS early as A. ID. 1899
sawmills driven by water power were In
operation at Augsburg, and, it Is be-
lieved, before this they were in opera
ton in Paris, driven by the current OF
the Seine. The first sawmill erected in
the Norway pineries was in 1880. Saw
mills were numerous in Italy in the six
teenth century. They were not intro
duced into England until 1868, when q
native of Holland built one, but was
compelled to abandon it by the opposi-
ton of - populace, carpenters ana
other ar; - !, who saw no good In such
a new tangled continuance.

THE MARINE ENGINEER.
An Officer with Vast Responsibilities WIZ
seldom Gets Credit.

From the time, less than GO years
ago, when tie first steam vessel crossed
the Atlantic the evolution Of the marine
engineer has been rapid, but he is the
one class Of marine craftsman that,
above all others, has kept pace with the
Developments Of this fast speeding age,
ard he stands today the most finished
product Of century that has created
more new types and more new occupa-
tions than any that has preceded 1T. The
marine engineer today is more lmpor-
tant than any deck officer, but his i'm
portance is as little recognized by the
nonseafaring man as his identity is con-
cealed from the view Of those who trav-
ell in ships Down in the bowels OF the
vessel. he controls not only the propul-
sion. but the steering, lighting, pump
ing. anchoring, ventilation OF the mod
ern marine structure, and on the war
shin he is even responsible for the
manipulation of heavy guns. The eyes
that steer the ship are those of the Off
Ger of the watch, but the brain that
guides the ship to her destination and
regulates her internal economy is the
brain of the marine engineer His Is
the real responsibility, and, we are
afraid, his is the least share OF the hon
or that is given to those who serve their
country or their employers with courage
and devotion on the sea.

Hens and Iron.

A French physician has invented a
method by which he says iron can DO
given in large doses. Hens, he noticed,
have powerful internal organs. They
can digest considerable quantities OF
iron and then render it back, through
the albumen of their eggs, ina form
which is easily digested by the weaker
stomach of mankind. So he feeds his
hens with what he calls "a very absorb
emit salt of iron," mingled with grains
of wheat, and they lay eggs extremely
rich in iron already digested.
