CARNEGIE FOR BRYAN.
So is Park hurst if He Will Drop the
Silver Issue.

New York, Dec. 23.-Andrew Carnegie
is a Bryan man. During the recent Wis
it of Col. Bryan to New York the iron
king sent to him at the Bartholdi an
autograph letter, requesting him to call
at the Carnegie mansion. Mr.. Carnegie
said that he would call on Col. Bryan,
but that he was sick in bed and could
not venture in the open air. The let
ter concluded with these words:
I believe you are the only man who
can save the country from the twin
evils of Imperialism and militarism.'
Col. Bryan did not st to see Mr.. Car
negie, but it is probable a netting be-
tween the two men will be arranged in
the not distant future Mr.. Carnegie
bitterly opposed Mr.. Bryan in 1896, but
he says now that if Bryan is the candi-
date in 1900 and the Democratic nation
al platform is broadened in its opposI-
ton to Imperialism and militarism, and
the currency question is subordinated
to these new issues, he will support the
Nebraskan with his pen, voice and
purse.
Mr.. Bryan had a lengthy conference
while in New York with DR.. Parkhurst
and the Rev. DR.. Vandyck. Both men
expressed themselves as pleased with
the Nebraskan after personal inter
course with him.
DR.. Parkhurst said today that he was
"a pretty good Bryan man. aside from
the silver issue.

LITTLE GIRLS IN NIGHTIEs
Entertain Governor Stanley With a
Pillow Fight and Give Him
RibIa

Wichita, Dec. 23.-The primary class
of the First NJ. E. Sunday school ten
dered Governor and Mrs. Stanley a re-
ceptiOn at the church Wednesday night.
The altar and rostrum were beautifully
decorated with flowers. Mrs. c. I. Fuller
and Miss Stella McElhaney received in
honor of Governor and Mrs. Stanley.
But the entertainment in its entirety
was conducted by the little folks, who
have been in Mr.. Stanley's Sunday
school from the time they had first
known what a Sunday school was.
The last number on the programme
was a Good Night" selection by fifteen
little ones, dressed in their "nighties, -
and introducing an amusing pillow
fight.
Governor Stanley was presented with
a fine Bible by the class, the presenta-
ton speech being made by little Myrtle
WOOdford. She said:
our class is the largest class in the
Sunday school, and we have a right to
give you the biggest reception and bid
you the last goodbye. We all would
have voted for you if they had let us,
for we know we love you better (fOr we
don't want any Office): and when you
are settled in the little town of Topeka
we all, at least 200 of our class, are
cOmi~g up to see you, and sit in the
governors chair in your lap. Now dear
Mr. Stanley, go to your new home and
try to build up another Sunday school
for Jesus if you can. Though you may
be governor twenty years, you will
never have to pardon one of US out of
prison. I present you with this book
in the name Of the primary class. Good
bye, Mrs. Stanley; goodbye, Mr.. Stan
ley. May God bless and keep you is our
dearest wish

MERRY WITH COLCORD.
Clergyman Was Interrupted by Ag-
nostics While Attempting to
Answer Col IngersoIL

New York Dec 23.-The Rev. Samuel
Colcord delivered his lecture, In Re
Spouse to Col. IngersolI.'' in Chickering
hall yesterday afternoon. The minister
had FURNISHED up a lecture he had de-
livered several times in this city and
had added some new matter. About 200
persons made themselves very much at
home, interrupting, applauding and dis
approving with Vehemence and freedom.
I admire Colonel IngersOlPs great
gifts" the Rev. Mr. COlcord was say
ing. a woman who wore a blue velvet
gown and a fawn-cOlOred cloth coat,
and who sat in the front row, exclaimed
"Oh, don't say that! I can't bear it!'
L have profound respect for Colonel
1ngerSOlIS wit and the lecturer con-
tinued. But the woman again inter-
Tupted, arose, walked across the hall to
the Eighteenth street doorway, turned
and cried dramatically:
I won't hear you say such thingsi
You ought TO be ashamed of yOurselfi'
The lecturer spoke of J. PierpOnt
Morgan as a Christian philanthro-
pist."
What name was that?' asked an
elderly man in the balcony.
j. Pierpont Morgan" repeated Mr..
ColcOrd
I'm afraid, if we are to believe the
Bible, that he is a little 200 wealthy to
get into heaven" retorted the elderly
man.
Another voice demanded, Where did
he get his money!"
And yet another. why do you call
him a philanthropist?
I admit Peter Cooper was not an
orthodox Christian" said Mr. ColcOrd.
You bet he wasn't shouted a man,
The knew better. he had sense"
Some persons laughed A man with
a very hoarse voice who was in the
rear of the hall constantly interrupted.
A young man in front got on his feet
and cried to him:
"COme up here and let's have chance
at you
He did not go.
I asked you not to interrupt me, but
I see you agnOstics are not as tolerant
as I am. I know you don't like what
I say, but you've got to take it," said
the lecturer reprovingly. There was a
chorus of 'bravos.''
Mr. Colcord said Col Ingersou had
not challenged him to a joint debate.
If he does Mr.. Colcord will accept.

BOTH SIDES RUSHING.
Spaniards Going Out and Americans
Going Into Cuba.

Washington. Dec. % There is every evil
dence in the war department that strenu-
Gus efforts are making to put enough
American troops in Cuba to meet any call
upon them through the speedy evacuation
of the Spanish garriSOnS. All the trans
ports available at Atlantic ports are being
prepared under rush orders for sailing
south The Spanish are carrying out
their evacuation contract with unusual
CELEBRITY and there is some question whether
American troops can be concentrated at
certain points before the Spaniards leave.
Meantime the Cubans are preparing for
demonstra lions during evacuation week
and it is thought very desirable to have
an adequate force on hand to prevent any
outbreak that would jeopardize the Ameri-
can entente at the outset.
There will be thirteen custom houses on
the Cuban coast to be turned over to the
American control and although some of
these doubtless will be closed, these ports
will require a large guard. Besides this
the war department is having quite a
standing Spanish to fill the custom Offices.
