LINCOLN. Neb. June lo.-The friends Of Col.
William Jennings Bryan of the Third Nebraska
are worried these days. They have come to tho
conclusion that their idol has made a sorious
mistake in essayinE a military career, and they
would be very much Obliged II some one would
point out n way by which he could forego its
dangers and delights without loss of prestige.
And 1t Ia pretty safe to say that tho same
opinion il shared by the Colonel. He has never
entered heartily into tho military project.
He was simply the victim of overpersuasion.
When 1t looked AZ though IL would be a quick
dash Of volunteers into Cuba, and the ovorturn-
Ing OF Spanish authority there, he was induced
to believe that only by joining the army could
he hope to avoid being oVershadowod in the
noHt Presidential campaign by some Democrat
of tho FitzhuGh Leo stamp. Mr.. Bryan stood
out against these advisers for a time, and it was
only with halt a heart that he consented to Gov.
IlolcomD opportunities to be allowed to COM
mission him to raise u regiment.
The work was entered upon, however, with
enthusiasm. Tho first check came when Bryan
found his desire to be elected Captain of his
home company, of which he was a simple pri-
vat o Blocked by tho COLLEGE boys Who wanted
chased books Of tactics and set out to master in
theory the art of commanding a regiment. Some
practical demonstration by his Lieutenant
Colonel helped him along when he was stuck.
but he speedily wearied Of tho routine.
aVout tulS time the press comments began
coming in; also letters from well.known Demo-
Gratis in various parts of the country protesting
against protfering himself as a target for Span.
ish bullets when they had work for him to do.
His W party press protested that he could do
better service in the Congress campaigns this
year, and some criticised him for attempting a
career for which he had had no training. Some
OF the criticisms he received were in line with
his own previous ideas. and these have com.
binod to alarm his friends and worry the Colonel.
Col. Bryan has found 1t quite difficult to main
tain himself In q digniied way in the public eye
80 that 1t might not be turned in another direc-
ton when the convention of 1900 came around.
He was induced to believe that to essay a mill.
tary, career would not only dispose Of possible
rivals with military careers, but enable him
easily to retain his prestige. He now realizes q
mistake was made, and that 10 why he 10 silent

NEWS scARrs ON WOMEN.
CritlcIsm by q Man on the Latest ApproprIa-
tIon or Mona Attire


Nothing in the whole field Of woman's dress
distresseS me 60 much" said a man who is not
ordinarily observant Of such matters, as the
fiat scarf and the shirt waists. These large fat
ties, hanging like breastplates from women's
necks and Tapping to and fro as they walk, are
the most malignant manifestation of tho tailor
made fad and itS consequences that l have ever
seen. The unBuitabllity of such a necktie to a
shirt waist seems to DO lost on them. No man
would ever think of wearing such a scarf with q
flannel or an outing shirt. Those heavy things
are reserved by men for more formal occasions,
yet women have taken them up this year as the
articles for regular summer wear.
My experience has been that the smaller tho
woman is the larger her scarf is likely to be,
and II she happens to have the sort OF a figure
which makes the scarf project forward and re-
main in that position tho appropriateness of
such neckwear for women is more apparent
men in the matter of dress they ought TO take
on those largo neckties. Nothing can excuse
them. Thore are plenty of substitutes. and
oven IL there wero not an average man would
prefer to see a woman with nothing but q piece
of ribbon tied about her neck rather than one of
those iniquitous fiat scarfs.
Ono point about them il amusing from the
way in which it shows their Indifference to the
proper way Of wearing mems clothes after
have their edges hidden by a waistcoat or In
some other way. But a small matter like that
does not interfere with the way in which they
wear anything that has hitherto belonged to
more man. They wear them just as thsy please.
That 10 their rule, and that makes it correct"

SOLDIERS IN WARRINGTON.
Climb the Monument for Recreation and Gaze
en- COnEreSS from the Galleries.
From The WasAtnOton Star.

From the WdShfn0ton Star.
The stairway leading UP to the top Of the
Washington monument has been impossible
with soldiers fer a couple Of weekB past. Not
one in ten of the soldiers will ride up in the Gle
VGtor, and the soldier who does take the ele-
vator is called a 'Slob" by his comrades. Tho
men who have had their hats thrown out of the
windows OF the monument by Rkylarking COM
radios haven't appeared to enjoy this game very
much, especially the searching for their chap
eauG after the descent.
1t is not a characteristic of men who comprise
an urban population to run to fires. The SOL
diers who are now fiocking through the streets
of Washington don't pretend to metropolitan
ways. This explains why 80 many of them,
street, take to their heels and follow 1t. There
hasn't been a miniature blaze in Washington for
several weeks past that has not boon witnessed
by q knot OF painting soldiers.
Thousands of the soldiers have rested their
weary limbs in the seats of the galleries OF the
two houses OF Congress since the camp was
established across tho way. The men occupy
Bentatives from their own States, and when
they have focused them in their vision they do
not take their eyes of them while they remain.
ttves on the floor do not know that the soldiers
from their districts are watching them stu
diously either: Tho REPRESENTATIVE know that

SECRET OF sARDOU,s SUCCESS.
Attributes His start ne = Playwright to His
LeEIbIo handwriting

AtD ~
Victorien SRrdou has lately attributed his sue
cess as a dramatist to his handwriting. with
some seriousness he has been telling his friends
that after having tired many managers without
success. he finally sent LA Tareine des Etu-
diants' to the OdGon Theatre in the hope that it
might make some impression there. 1t had
been placed on a table along with half a dozen
manuscripts from unknown writers that were to
be returned without being read. They were on a
table In the room in which reheArsals were held,
and by chance the glance OF Mile. Berenger,
a beautiful actress OF that day, fell on the pile
OF manuscript. Thoughtlessly she turned sew.
eral OF the pages over, and her eye fell on the
beautifully written pages of Sardou's work.
What a wonderful handwriting!' she said.
Some of the actors with her glanced at tho
writing. SO did the manager, and he decided
to read the work which was 30 carefully and
clearly written. The result was that the play
was accepted and tho, writer. saved from the
troubles which were impending at that time.
He 10 a millionaire to-day, but ho was very near
starvation then.
The moral OF this story for contemporary as.
pirAnts loses some OF it's force from the fact that
all plays submitted are usually typewriter. So
the least qualified beginner to-day Is equal to
MIR, Sardou in at least ono respect. Tho new
beginner to-day can write "a play that in At least
one sense of the word will read we'll" That
il may not act well proves the limitations OF The
