BRYAN LIKENED TO MOSES.
lis, Makes Stirring Speech
to SiIverites.

Chicago. June 1.-THE silver Repub-
Hcan delegates who remained in town
after adjournment of the conference
were rendered a public reception in the
parlors of the Sherman house during
the afternoon by the so ladies of the To-
cal branch of the Womans Bimetallic
auxiliary.
The quiet reception soon resolved it
self into rOuSing mass meeting, at
which numerous eloquent speeches were
delivered.
Professor John Dean Cation was the
first orator introduced. He is an eff
fectiVe and resOurcefu1 speaker. His
remarks had to do with the free coin
age question exclusively. His trick of
illustrating by means of a compressi-
BILE tin cup, the shrinkage in values
wrought by a contracting currency was
very clever and sent the audience into
spasms of delight. He said in part:
Money lies idle today in every bank
and cannot be brought out into circu-
lation unless national btmetallism be-
comes the law of this land. The talk of
an international bimetalIfc agreement
bein- necessary would be silly if it
was not meant to deceive the public.
Why don't they tell US it is necessary
to have an international tariff? loud
applause.) When the volume of money
in circulation is contracted you see
prices fall, but the expansion of circula-
tiOn sends prices up higher. Therefore,
a Abraham Lincoln declared that the
contraction of the currency was the
most heinous of crimes England will

allowed to pay $2,O00,O0O in interest
money to John Bull with l, ,o00, 900 bush

Details of the Special De Wolf
Hopper Trains.
The Fast Run From Denver
Into Topeka.
Left Six Hours Behind the Regular
q. P. Flyer but was Only So
Minutes Behind at Tope-
ka-Averaged 57Miles
Per Hour,

The Denver News tells of the fast run
of the De Wolf Hopper train as fol-
lows:
Union Pacific officials were greatly
pleased last evening on account of the
phenomenal record made by the special
theatrical train bearing the De Wolf
Hopper company from Denver to To
peka, Kan. The distance from Den
yer to Topeka is 573 miles and the
actual running time of the train was
ten hours and the average speed was
more than fifty-seVen miles an hour.
The only long distance record in the
west that compares with that of the
Union Pacific is the speed attained by
the Burlington special bearing H ].
Mayham to Denver from Chicago. The
Mayham special consisted of an en-
gine and two cars carrying one pas
senger. The Union Pacific special con-
sisted of an engine and hVe cars car
rying a large amount of heavy baggage
and scenery and seventy passengers
Travelling Passenger agent Angler of
the Union Pacific made the trip and
kept the excitement at a white heat in
the Denver office by characteristic dis
patches describing the sensation of
whirling along for consecutive hours
at the rate of a mile minute. The
high rate of speed may be imagined
when it is stated that although the
train left Denver six hours behind the
regular Union Pacific flyer, the special
came within thirty-fiVe minutes of
catching up with the flyer at Topeka
Some of the speeds attained by the
special were as follows: One hundred
and sixty miles in 157 minutes; "A miles
in II minutes; IL miles in Z minutes.
The last squirt was the fastest of the
run and was altogether too rapid for
long continuance. Engines were
changed at Ellis, the run to Topeka
from this city being made with the aid
of two of the large engines of the
Union Pacific passenger service.
The rapid gait to Topeka was made
necessary in order to land Hopper and
his company in Topeka in time to show
last night. The company gave per-
for1nance in Colorado Springs Tuesday
night, and Mr.. Hopper entered into
contract with the Gulf and Union Pa
cifc for the trip to Topeka The COM
pany was brought to Denver in a Gulf
special leaving Colorado Springs at
1850 a m. and arriving at Denver at
3:2O a. m. This was a very fast run.
It required Is minutes to make the
change to the Union Pacific at the
depot and away went the special out
of the city and across the bOundless
prairies toward the rising sun The
train lost Sc minutes on account of
stops between Denver and Ellis, Kan,
and 2915 minutes were lost in stops be-
tween Ellis and Topeka.

PROPHET IS HEDGING.
Callicott Has Revised His End of the
World Prediction.

Lafayette, Ind, June n.-Prophet John
Callicott last night addressed large au-
dience from the steps of the court house,
reiterating his prophecy that the world
will come to an end, beginning with the
fall of London on Friday, the destruc-
ton of the wicked on Saturday, and the
resurrection of the righteous dead and
the elevation of the new City of Zion on
Sunday. after the burning of the world
by the suns intense heat at sunrise on the
18th.
The prophet advised his followers to
keep their property that it would not be
consumed in the general conhagratioAs
that only the possessions of the wicked
would be destroyed. He had large num-
Der of negroes for his audience and an
nounced that especially would the people
of that race be cared for by the Savior
during the cataelysm. The prophet has
been besieged by newspaper men anxious
to interview him. He is evidently greatly
pleased with the notoriety he has attain>
ed. In his prayer he implored divine
mercy upon the senate and house of rep
resentatives. which bodies he asserted
were in especial danger.

THE TRAMP MILLIONAIRE
Angry With His Wife-separation
Talked OF.

Mt. Vernon, Ill, June 1.-THE tramp
millionaire, James E. Berry, who has
been electrifying Salem, ILL.,, reached here
last night, and not finding his new bride
created considerable street gossip by his
talk and actions. 1t seems likely that a
separation will result unless friends in
teroede.
The trouble springs from a desire on
the part of Mrs. Berry to travel by rail
from Centralia, where they were yester-
day, instead of driving through, and
failure to reach Mt. Vernon. Stopping
over at Ashley she telegraphed him. and he
claimed not to have received the dispatch.
and this morning gave chase and found
her at a hotel.
The day has been spent in consulting
attorneys and visiting saloons.

$25, 900; and to enable the secretary to
change and improve the building on said
newly purchased grounds SO as to ae-

WHERE HOBART CAME IN.
Evidence Showing the Vice President
as Violator of the Law.

Chicago, June 1.-THE particulars re-
garding how Garret A Hobart, vice
president of the United States, figures in
an agreement of the Joint Traffic as
sociation by which ten railroads run
ming east from Chicago formed a gi-
gantic physical pOOP' and distributed
freight traffic among themselves on a
percentage basis, were brought out by
the Interstate commerce commission in
its inVeStig cation into alleged grain rate
cutting among the railroads. The names
of Vice President Hobart, J. F. God
dard and Z. H. Leonard appeared at
the foot of the agreement as arbitra
tors of the percentage to go to each
road The Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern alone diverted II, ,466, ,140 pounds
of freight to a competing line from
February 26 to April 1, 1897, in order to
keep faith in the big pool formed
among the eaStbOund roads.
The commerce commission claimed in
1895 that this pooling was a violation
of the Interstate commerce law, while
the Joint Traffic association declared
a physical pool was necessary In order
to maintain the rates. The case is
still pending, though the United States
circuit and appellate courts decided
against the commission. A recent de-
cisien in the famous Transmissouri
case, in which 1t was alleged the same
agreement was a violation of the anti
trust law, was decided against the
Joint Traffic association. Notwith-
standing this decision, it was sworn to
that the association still continued to
pool its traffic, though the agreement
signed by the vice president had been
declared a violation of the antitrust
law.
These sensational disclosures were
followed by an order issued by the COM
mission which enlarged the scope of the
present inquiry, and which will lay
bare alleged violations of the law at
the Mississippi river and at points
farther west. The railroad men were
congFatulating themselves on obeying
only the letter of the original order
which they construed as referring only
to grain shipped east from Chicago
and Chicago junction points Their
answers were drawn up on this basis.
The commission enlarged the order so
as to include grain and grain products
shipped from all points west of Chi
cago. The order is likely to furnish
a sensation when the evidence is sub
mitted.

Guadalajara, Mex, June IA party
of American civil engineers made a
survey for a railroad from the port of
La Vampoa, on the Pacific coast, to
this city, several months ago.
1t was stated at the time that a syn

to build the road if it was found that
the cost of it's construction would not
be too great. 1t is now announced here
that two surveying parties of English
men have just arrived at La Vampoa
for the purpose of going over the route
and verifying the report made by the
American engineers. They state that

WEALTH IN OVERALLS.

A GRADUATE of Princeton Col
lege has just completed a self
imposed task that but few wealthy
men would attempt. Walter A.
Wyckoff is the possessor of an in
dependent fortune and a social
favorite among the cream of east
ern millionaire families, and is also
a man of decided opinion in soci-
ology as was shown by his vol
unfairly becoming laboring
nomad. He has toiled and tramped
for the past two years to support
the theories his friends would not
accept. While a student, Mr..
Wyckoff struck up a warm friend
ship with the nephew of million
aire j. Pierpont Morgan. While
a guest of the latter he often held
heated arguments with him and
was eloquent in his defense of
laboring men. Mr.. Morgan did
not like this and shut the young
student up with what he consid-
cred clincher, stating that "his
talk was mere theory-a parrots
lesson learned by rote.' This put
Mr.. Wyckoff on his mettle and he
agreed there and then to start out
without a cent and face the obsta-
cles he claimed were put in the
way of workingmen by the richer
classes. The gentleman stuck to
this life for two years and he is
now in position to back up his
theories by actual facts. It would
do world Of good for the cause of
labor if several more wealthy men
would go through the same ex-
perience that they might be in a
position to deal intelligently with
sociological problems. All honor
to Mr.. Wyckoff; we trust that his
experience will bear good fruit by
opening the eyes and hearts Of
those walking on velvet"

No ONE, perhaps, doubts the
sincerity Of Col. Ingersoll; none,
in fact, will deny that he is a model
citizen. And yet with all his
suavity and polished gentility he
has that strange something i'm
planted in his countenance that
brands the sceptic in human affairs.
1t is undefnable; but to the
student of human nature the
Colonel's intellectual face has that
"show- me-a- dollar and-I'll- believe
you-have-o one" aspect. Can it be
that the renowned orator is a
"doubter'' in earthly affairs as well
as in the supernatural?

A TRULY remarkable account of
the strength of a woman's love
comesfrom Cumberland Gap, Tenn.
Mrs. Lena Collinsworth, the young
woman in question, had been
married less than a year. Recently
she had a trivial quarrel with her
husband and he left the house in a

The wife then vowed that she
