BRYAN CALLS ON M'KlNLEY.

BRYAN CALLS ON M'klNLEY.
Requests That the Sick ohaHissReg-
iment Be Sent HOME
Washington,D. c. Thursday-Colonel
William j. Bryan, Third Nebraska vol
upteers, was at the war depart
ment and. occasioned as much inter-
est among the. employees as a returned
Santiago hero. o
Colonel Bryan vas accompanied by
Governor Holcomb and Representative
Stark Of Nebraska. They went first to
the adjutantv generals .. Office, where
Colonel Bryan registered, stating that
he expected to return to his station
today. In General Corbin's Office he
shook hands with the general and in
troduced the gentlemen accompanying
him. The call was formal and brief.
The party was then introduced to Act
ing Secretary Meiklejohn, but remained
there only a few minutes, returning to
the adjutant generals Office.
General Corbin inquired as to the
condition of the camp at Jacksonville,
and asked if the soldiers wanted to
come home.
Colonel Bryan said that he had not
made a poll. but his judgment as to
their sentiment was that they did wish
to be mustered out. Colonel Bryan
went from the adjutant generals office
to army headquarters and called on
General Miles.
Neither to the acting secretary of
Colonel Bryan or Governor Holcolnb
make any request as to the mastering
out the Third Nebraska regiment or
allude to the desires of Colonel Bryan
in reference to the subject.
After leaving the war department,
Colonel Bryan and his party went to
the White house, where they were i'm
mediately ushered into the presidents
room. The party were cordially r.
ceived by President Mckinley, and re-
manned in conference with him for
more thar an hour. They did not pre-
fer a request for the mastering out Of
the regiment as a whole, but only for
the discharge of such of it's members
as are disabled by disease or such
as nave peculiar calls upon them. They
represented that there were about 20
per cent of the members of the regi-
ment i'll, and they urged that these
should be relieved and sent to their
homes, where, they argued, in all
probability, most Of them would speed
lily recover, because of the difference in
the climate of Nebraska and that of
Florida.
The president gave careful attention
to all that was said and talked sympa-
thetically with his callers concerning
the condition of these men, but he
made no positive promise as to the
course he would pursue in the mat
ter. After the interview with the pres
ident, the three Nebraskans returned to
the war department.
Mr.. Bryan said, as he left the White
house, he would return to his regi-
ment tonight. He was dressed in the
full uniform of a colonel, and beyond
the fact hat his complexion testified
to his exposure to the southern sun, he
looked very much as he did in the cam
paign days of 1896.

The notion that by ignoring the aw-
full facts which are moving the heart of
the country to its very core you will
succeed in lodging the responsibility
and that the storm Of public wrath
will elbow over" Is fatuous. From the
commanding general Of the army and
the governors Of the states-republicap
as well as democratic-down to the
humblest private in the ranks and to
the most obscure citizen, the
demand for investigation, reformation,
retrihutiop. This is no time to initiate
the ostrich, which, circled with hunters,
buries its head in the sand and mag
ines that it is safe. You are exposed,
the country is exposed. to a dire peril
by your feeble attempts to dodge this
issue. In the presence Of the daily neg
lect and torture of our troops, without
any attempt at redress on the part OF
the administration, many of the voters
who helped to elect you as the repre-
sentative Of sound money are now ask
ing themselves whether there are not
some things even that 60-cent
silver dollars. An affirmative answer
to this question in the approaching cleo
lions would mean disaster.

does not belong to the place he lives

Rourh-surfaoed Fabrics.

Rough-surfaced fabrics are abundant
and very attractive. Many ladies con-
slider them very much more stylish
than smooth goods. especially for gar
ments that are to receive considerable
hard usage. They are shown In In
finite varieties of color and weave, and
make most satisfactory costumes for
outings and for travelling. There are
checks, stripes, broken plaids and
mixed colors that are wool-dyed and
made into threads and woven after
wards. These latter are always In
demand. There are also indistinct
plaids and stripes of wool dyed threads
with some special color predominating
in each stripe. One design has broken
plaids of lines in mixtures Of gray
green, old rose and brown. In one
stripe the gray is the dominant color,
the other colors leading in the remain
ing stripes. These mixtures are ordi-
narily in fast colors, and make dresses
that are by the majority of women con-
sidered indispensable additions to their
wardrobes. Plain colors have lost none
Of their popularity, but will be used
for autumn and winter dresses, and
will be made up either by themselves
or in combinations with velvet or en-
broidered materials. There are plain
and mixed suitings In scores of styles,
and the usual quota OF homespuns,
cheviots and serges that long ago
reached such a degree OF excellence
that there is really no chance to i'm
prove upon them. In silken fabrics
popular fancy seems to turn toward
peau de sole, glace and faille, the lat
ter being shown In plain weave and
with velvet or chenille polka spots, or
with velvet or satin stripes. Plain
black satin, which has been for some
time past the favorite fabric for skirts,
to give place to faille and peau de
sole. A great deal Of taffeta will be
worn, and small figured brocades will
be in general request. Velvet as a
material for making entire costumes,
! jackets and wraps will be among the
seasons leading features. 1t would be
difficult to find fabric that has more
alluring possibilities.

THE YULE Loo.

Christmas day in the primitive
church was always observed as the
Sabbath day, and, like that preceded
by an Eve, or Vigil. Hence our pres
ent Christmas Eve. On the night of
this Eve, people were wont to light
up candles of an uncommon size, call
ed Christmas candles, and lay a log OF
wood upon the fire, called Yule log
or Christmas block, to illuminate the
house, and, as 1t were, to turn night
into day. This custom is still kept up
in the north OF England. The size OF
these logs of wood, which were In
fact great trees, may be imagined from
the fact that in the time OF the civil
wars OF the last century, Capt. Hosier
Haghmond Abbey, near Shrewsbury,
by setting fire to the Yule log. At
the bringing in of the Yule log at
Christmas Eve in the ancient castle OF
England, the great hall Of the castle
was profusely decorated with ivy end
holly berries. AS soon as the log was
lighted the Christmas festivities be-
gan. The servants wer then given
general holiday and did not go to bed
at all, but rambled about until the
church bells called them to prayer at
IL o'clock. The VOID Yule signifies
Christmas, which was called In the
Latin or Western church the Feast OF
Lights, because they used many lights
or candles at its celebration In honor
OF Christ. the Light of all Lights

Babies Checked In Church.

In some of the New York depart
ment stores, says Harper's Bazaar,
babies can be checked, like so many
umbrellas, while their mothers pursue
the elusive bargain from counter to
counter. A small boy is detailed to
stand guard over a certain number of
infants. The small boys and the in
fants have not been asked for an opin-
ion, bet the mothers are enthusiastic
in their approval. In Brooklyn the
checking system, as applied to babies,
has appeared in a new form. Brook
lyn being recognized as the City Of
Churches, the new development is
