A New Issue For MIR. BRYAN,

Nv" ON
Washington correspondent Of the Chicago Tri
bune.l
Senators Hoar and Hale do not relish
the coming of Colonel William j. BRYAN.
The announcement that he will come here
at once to help along the fight against ex-
pansion makes these gentlemen squirm.
They do not like the society they are find
ing themselves in. 1t was all we'll enough
for them to take high ground in antagoniz-
ing "imperialism, but when it comes to
waging the war in company with the
Baileys and Jim Jones and the Bryans and
the Tilmans and that sort of people the
strait-laced New Englanders begin to wish
they had not been so prompt in taking a
position against American progress.
Colonel Bryan is expected to remain in
Washington some time, and it is clear that
he will make hot fight along the lines
indicated in his interview. He welcomes
the new issue. 1t enables him to break
away from free silver as the sole and only
issue and gives him something upon which
to carry on the fight in 1900 He has
realized for some time that the free silver
star was waning, but he saw no way to es-
cape from it or to admit that there is any
thing else worth fighting for. He is glad
to have the help of Senators Hoar and
Hale and their friends from New England
in creating the new issue.

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.
Mrs. HoIIey's Exhibition at Everett,
Mass.

The Everett Republican of Dec. II con
tanned the following pleasant article in re-
gard to the china exhibit and sale of our
former townswoman, Mrs. A. j. Hollev.
This sale used to be one of the "events of
the year" in Bellows Falls. What is our
loss is someone elses gain.
1.-THE third annual exhibition and sale of
decorated china by Mrs, Avis Brown Hol-
ley, was given at her rooms, Hampshire
street, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
afternoons and evenings. This exhibition
has become one of the events of the year
This season it surpassed all previous efforts
and surprised Mrs. Holey's many odmirers
by showing herself to be an Al artist in
water colors. The Bulfnch front of the
state house should be especially mentioned,
although the cluster of narcissuses was
the admiration of all. There were also
many dainty photograph frames and holi-
day novelties in water colors. AS you en-
tered, the eye was caught by beautiful
tankard and tray decorated with rich
clusters of grapes. Another glance fell on
a chocolate set, in pink and white, with
pine cones in raised gold desk set of five
pieces, a beautiful double violet vase,
toast cup with currants and tawny tiutings
and set of plates decorated with different
fruits. The most elaborate and artistic
plate in the collection was a jewel plate af-
ter the old Severes style. A new feature
was an exhibition of pretty pieces of china
painted by pupils of Mrs. Holley."
