BRYAN ON NEXT CAMPAIGN
The Nebraskan Says Democrats viii
Make Gains Among Wage Farmers.
He HAS NO FEAR FOR THE OUTCOME
And Says the Recent Elections, to an
Unbiased Mind, Plainly Indicate
That the Democrats Had -,
the Better oft.

A special from Galveston, where
the Hon. w. j. Bryan is at present,
quotes him extensively on next year s
campaign. Mr.. Bryan states the
democrats will make great gains
next year among all classes Of peo-
pie.
"These people comprise the wage
earners," said he. Those who
have been directly affected by the
consolidation of the great manufac-
turing and producing concerns of the
country commonly called trusts. In
this class is enumerated day laborers,
Office men, drummers, etc. These
are the people who will vote with the
democrats next year.
"With a continuation OF such an
increase to our side for the next
twelve months it will not be ques-
ton OF can the democrats win, but
how large the majority will be. I
have no fear for the outcome. The
recent elections to an unbiased mind
plainly indicate that the democrats
had the better OF it in nearly all the
states in which elections were held.
In Ohio, Mr.. McKinley's home state,
is the democratic gain more clearly
shown than those anywhere else ex-
cept in Maryland and Nebraska. This
vote given Jones was antirepublican,
and had he not been in the race it
most assuredly would have gone to
Mclean. Next year, with the pres
emit ratio Of increase, Ohio will go
democratic by safe majority.
"The republicans would like to
cover me with the glory of personally
winning the fight in Nebraska. They
would, if possible, lead the people to
believe that there were no issues in
this election, and that I was so per-
sonally magnetic as to lead the peo-
pie to the polls with nothing more
than myself as an incentive. The
truth OF the matter is the people OF
Nebraska have awakened. They real.
ize that it is time that change was
being made in the administration of
the affairs of the government, and
they propose to throw off the yoke OF
Q single money standard, militarism
and to check the avarice and greed
that has almost become the objective
of that party. And not only in Ne
braska is this the case, but | find
from both personal investigation and
from those who are in position to
know that the people in many Sec
tions of other states heretofore strong
ly republicans have made up their
minds to join the tree silver forces

Bees Stole Back Pilfered Honey.

A curious incident of the bee world
is reported from Hampshire, England.
A cottager took two large bars OF
honey and square section from one
of his hives. This honey he put into
a large pan and covered it with cloth,
placing it in an upstairs room of his
cottage. During the day the bees got
scent of the honey through the open
window, and the whole hive entered
the room, crept under the cloth cover
and took away all the honey in an in
credibly short time aud stored it in
their hive again. The quantity was
about ten pounds in weight.

said that even after its completion it
will not be large enough to meet the
demands upon it. The new building
will be eight stories in height, and its
floor space will be about nine acres.
The floors will sustain load of about
100000 pounds. Access to the
various floors will be obtained by
twelve electric elevators. The build
ing will be lighted with 1000 incan-
descent lights. A refrigerating plant
will furnish cold filtered water on

A CITY OF MONKEYS.
One OF the strangest Sights in the Whole
of India.

One OF the strangest Sights in the Whole
of India.
Mrs. Clara Erskine Clement de-
scribes graphically a visit to the an
cient city of Amber, in India. and
which is inhabited only by few priests
and thousands of monkeys. The hill
on which the old city stands is sur
rounded by other high hills. crowned
with towers and ramparts and covered
with trees. The great castle fortress
stands out boldly. The old zenama,
or woman's apartments-an extensive
block of buildings, surrounded by
courts the only place which is in
habited. This is well populated and
lively quarter, since tribe of langour
or hoonoomaun monkeys have taken
possession, and dwell here in comfort
and freedom. The Hindus religiously
refrain from hurting or killing any
animal, and the monkeys, having no
fear, are monsrchs of all they choose
to take.
The hoonoomaun, or langour, is the
sacred monkey, and the largest found
in India. Its height is from two and a
half to four feet; its body is singularly
slender and supple; its face is black
and smooth, except for long white
whiskers; the hair on the body is gray
on the back and white under the stom-
ach; its tail is long and bare, with q
single tuft of hair on the end. The
Hlndus have a legend which explains
its very black face. 1t says that ages
ago Hoonoomaun, the king of the
monkeys, went to assist Rama in the
conquest of Ceylon. The demon-king
had carried off Lita, wife of Rama, and
he was determined to rescue her. AS
they came near to the island, Hoonoo-
maun easily leaped over the straits, so
skillful a jumper was he. and, finding
Lita, he was comforting her with the
news that her husband was approach
ing, when Ravana, the demon-king,
appeared and made Hoonoomaun
prisoner, after setting fire to the mon
keys long tail, he gave him his free
dom that he might return to Rama
Hoonoomaun succeeded in blowing
out the fire at the end OF his tail, but
in so doing he blackensd his face and
singed his hair in a most unDecoming
fashion. Tbs loss of his beauty so
saddened the poor beast that Rama
made all the monkeys of his kind
kalamoukh, or black-faced, which they
remain to this day.-St Nicholas Maya

Monument.

Perry, Me-, to be Marked Win an Ooo
Monument.
A singular mark OF honor, and yet
one to which it is naturally entitled,
has just been conferred by the United
States government upon North Perry,
a little village situated in Washington
county, about twenty miles from Ca
lais, Me. That hitherto insignificant
hamlet is localed midway between the
equator and the North pole, and this
memorable fact is to be noted on a
shaft which will be erected within the
next few days at one of the most CEN
trail points in the village.
There is one church in North Perry,
and the shaft will be placed on one
side of the little path leading from the
street to the church door. On the
front of the pillar will be but. the
words: ''This stone marks latitude
As degrees north, halfway from the
equator to the North pole.
Naturally this unexpected incident
has set the people of North Perry in a
futtor of excitement. There are only
about 500 persons in the place, and
while the men earn their living by
acting as guides to hunting parties and
by working in the lumber camps. the
women aud children earn a little
money in the spring and fall by pick
ing berries and sending them to the
canning factories. Not often do they take
a holiday, but they are determined to
have one on the day when the shaft ID
placed in position.
The stone, which has just been COM
pleted at granite quarry near there,
was ordered by the government, and
the spot which it will occupy has been
marked by the geographical surveyors
of the United States government ~
being precisely midway between the
equator and the North pole.
