BRYIN'S PIRIPHRdSE.
Better to Have Run and Lost Than Not to
Have Run at All.

Have Run mt All.
Lincoln Neb., Jan. 6.--The Lansing
theater was completely filled this morn
ing, when the state bimetallic confer
ence was called to order. When Mr..
Bryan entered the hall he was greeted
with deafeniug applause. Judge Green
reviewed the campaign of 1896 and said
that, while beaten at the polls, the sill
Yer forces were not conquered.
Mr.. Bryan said the warm reception
accorded him prompted him to para
phrase an old saying, which would
read: TT is better to have run and
lost, than not to have run at all.
He reviewed the campaign from the
Chicago convention until the close of
the polls. He showed the great gain
made by the silver party since 1894,
and said that he believed that with
the efforts to be made during the next
four years there could be no doubt of a
victory in 1900. He spoke of the BIZ
metallic league, which is about to be
organized in this state, and advised
that all friends of silver regardless of
party affiliations, should be enrolled
under one banner.
He suggested that the legislature
should still further amend the election
laws of the state to the end that the
voters should be better protected from
intimidation and that the corporations
should not be permitted to contribute
funds for election purposes. He made
I,,o GOT Whit Ia Il
doctrine of bfmetallism had been de-
feated at the polls, it had made re
publicans hope that bimetallism would
be secured before the next presidential
election.
Some friends of the cause feared the
republicans would manage to steal the
bimetallic thunder, but If they had a
desire to steal it, he was ready to place
his thunder upon the front porch,
where it would be within easy reach
of the thieves.
Mr. Bryan spoke for nearly an hour
and at the close the audience rose and
gave him three hearty cheers.
Both houses of the legislature ad-
journed during Mr.. Bryans speech, and
most of the members heard it.
Omaha, Neb.. Jan. 6-Mr. Bryan left
for Chicago this afternoon to attend
the banquet to be given at the fremont
house tomorrow evening in honor of
Jackson's birthday.
At the afternoon session Congress-
man-elect W. L. Greene eulogized W.
]. Bryan, and formally. amid wild
cheering, nominated him as the candi-
date of the solid bimetallist forces for
president in 1900.

 Authority.

How Appointments Are Made.

Ex-President Harrison, in an article
ON "a Day With the President at His
Desk" in The Ladies Home Journal,
gives the method by which appoint
ments to public Office are made by the
president. lone of the cabinet officers, .
he writes, appears by appointment, ac-
companied by messenger with an arm
load or a basketful of papers-chiefiy
made up Of petitions and letters relating
TO appointments. Each case has been
briefed and jacketed, and one by one
they are presented, the secretary adding
such information as he has outside the
papers. The conclusions reached are
noted-to appoint particular person or
to prosecute further inquiry. The post
master general brings large clothes
basketful Of papers, and an adjournment
to the long cabinet table is necessary III
order to display them. He takes up the
papers relating to a postoffice and briefly
states the case. If the case is decided
he fills in the blank on the jacket, APP
point - the president affixes his in
itials, and the package is thrown bacl
into the basket. A whole afternoon
often consumed in this way"

Some Points About wills.

Do you know that you cannot Will
away your body; that a clause in your
will giving your body after death to amy
nerson or institution is not legally bind

carry out your wishes, though they may
do so through Difference to your ex-
pressed preferences. 1t is also important
To remember that three witnesses are
needed in devising real estate instead CT
two. as in bequeathing personal property.
"When woman will, she will, de
pend ont e." says the proverb. But there
are SO many sharp turns and short
curves in the course of the law that
though a woman wills to will what she
will. how she will in nine cases out OF
ten she cannot make her will so that she
wills what she will as she wills to Will.

HALF a CENTURY AGO.
Philadelphia Gentlemen Drank In Wsy
to Astonish Their Descendants.

Among Americans up TO 1855 the use
and abuse Of strong drink were almost
universal, but il certainly affected their
health less injuriously than at the pres
ent time. The worry and strain OF mod
ern business and social life shutter
nerves now and lead TO dram drinking
to repair them. On the contrary, most
of the excesses in the old times came
after a solid dinner, and three or -four
hours were spent in rest and cornwall
ity, but the amount drank was enor-
NOUS When the exchange was COM
pleted, in 1882. dinner was given, ana
there was some apprehension that the
wine would run out, and a well known
broker ON the committee expressed his
surprise, as the company had not aver
aged more than three bottles apiece.
This would be thought very large al
lowance of strong Madeira In these
times.
In 1853 the final audit of the accounts

named Dukes appeared. 1t was mere
formality, as the matter had been settled
ten years before. John Young acted as
clerk. The party met in the northwest
chamber of the bank building--now the
custom house-at ii o'clock. A bottle
of brandy and six Of Madeira were or
the table. and after a short inspection
of papers the wine was opened, and by
O'Clock was drank. The day was
warm, and bowl of bishop was order

with the brandy and flask of Curacao.
This was drank, and the three COM

were at hand, and smoking, drinking
and whist were in order until IL, when
