The Inauguration Committee May Invit'
Him 60 Wsshington For the Fourth.
In the desire to leave nothing undon'
which will enhance the attractivenes
Of the inauguration festivities the citi
zens' committee Of Washington is con.
sidering various novel propositions The
latest idea Is that the presence Of Mr.,
and Mrs. William j. Bryan Of Lincoln,
Neb., will add public interest to the oc.
casion.
Mr.. Bryan Is to be in Alexandria,
Va, eight miles down the Potomac
from Washington, about the end of Feb
ruary.. 1t is urged that he would find IL
pleasant to spend few days in Wash
ington, including the 4th of March.
The committee is thinking seriously
of extending to him a formal invitation
to bring Mrs. Bryan with km and par.
ticipate in the processSbn and in the
ball The presence of the defeated can.
didate would be novelty, but it would
not be entirely without precedent. Ac.
cording to history, Stephen A. Douglas
stood behind Abraham Lincoln and held
his hat while the new president of 1861
delivered his inaugural address. Sixteen
years ago the most consAHous person
ality, next to Garfield, ut the inaugu.
raj ball was General Hancock, in the
full uniform Of his rank.
The inaugural committee will not
send an invitation to Mr.. Bryan until
the suggestion receives approval from
Canton. There is no personal unfriend.
illness between the president elect and
the boy orator. The latter has much re.
spect for the former Early in the cam.
paign he frequently expressed in his
speeches admiration for the character of
his rival. This became so noticeable
that the Democratic national commit
tee advised Mr.. Bryan to omit his enco
niums Of Mr.. Mckinley.
There seems to be an impression al
committee headquarters that, if invited,
Mr.. Bryan will attend the inaugura
tion. There Is also an impression thai
Mr.. Hanna will not encourage the ten

He began to erect suitable buildings

They protested, but to no avail. On
promising to buy their fruits and grain,
paying the highest market prices in

but few, regarding their religious du.

churches and offered up prayers for the
destruction Of the distillery.
Gillespie only laughed and proceeded

Adaptation in Animals.
Meehan's Monthly.


Animals are said to be guided by instinct
and not by reason or judgment. When
however, we find creatures that have been
Tor ages living in one country under certain
conditions removing to other countries
where the conditions vary, we find them
changing their habits to suit the different
conditions; this is certainly evidence of rea-
son and judgment. The English sparrow is
a case in point. Brought to America from
the old world, they have found entirely diff
1erent conditions and are exercising them
selves TO adapt themselves to these new
conditions. In the old world there are ivy
covered ruins, old matched roofs ard in
Vulnerable places where they can eonven-
iently build their nests without trouble In
America there are few of these. accommo-
dations. When first introduced into Amer
lea they builded their nests in trees as
most other birds do. So in regard to the
period of nesting. Our American winters
are very uncertain in comparison with the
winters of England; the thermometer may
be one day at zero and in a few days after
wards at so degrees or 60 degrees above
freezing point When these warm DAYS
come the sparrow feels inclined to nest
building. The bird evidently reasons that
the coming of few warm days means the
advent of spring. The bird has not been
long enough in the country to understand
these sudden variations of climate and in
many other ways it may be shown that
reason and judgment to a limited extent
are the attributes of, the lower orders of
animals as well of mankind.
