play. but the family declined them all.
There will be no music. perhaps pot even

Senator, Elkins. John Clark Redpath,
Harrison and Minnie Madden Fiske,
Eugene V. Debs. A. NJ. Palmer, John w.

CLEVER DOGS AND MONKEYS.
Prof. Macart's Troupe An Interesting
Attraction at Saltair.

Professor Macart's performing dogs
and monkeys have proven one Of the
most interesting attractions at Saltair
during the past week. A wonderfully
clever troupe of animals they are, too,
and the crowds never tire of watching
them go through their repertory OF
tricks.
There is little rat terrier whose es-
pecial delight it is to turn back somer-
saults. He needs no word OF command
from Professor Macart, but the moment
he is freed from his tether he comes
capering across the platform, turning
back somersaults seemingly out of pure
high spirits, like a small boy just loosed
from school, Then there are the boxing
dogs. 'Corbett" and "Fitzsimmons, >
who go through a three-round mill,
standing all the while on their hind feet
and pelting each other as viciously as
if this was their natural method OF set
thing differences.
OF dancing dogs thefe are hall
dozen, one who does Il realistic hula
hula dance, and another who gives a
skirt dance that reminds one of Loie
Fuller The big baboon who sits in
dignified silence during most of the
performance, is ridiculously funny as
the super" who moves the chairs and
tables about the stage.
The performance concludes with the
death and funeral of a clever water
spaniel, in which the sorrowing widow,
a black and tan, mOurns at the bier
of her spouse until he is borne off on
the funeral car

In international disputes involving

powers deem il advisable that parties
which are unable to agree by diplo-
matte means, shall institute so far as
| circumstances will permit, an official
inquiry, whose duty it shall be to facili-
tate the solution of these disputes by
clearing up the questions of fact by
means of an impartial, conscientious
examination"
After adopting article and passing
the second reading of the five articles
dealing with commissions of inquiry,
the committee adopted, with slight YER
bal notifications, articles Sc to SO of the
arbitration scheme and then adopted

with distinction, authority and impair
tiality,'' and in a conciliatory spirit

The Bicycle Trust.

The American Bicycle company,
which is the name for the big bicycle
trust, seems to be having very
checkered career. 1t was first an
nounced that the trust would be an
accomplished fact June 80 and several
of the big concerns frustrated the plans
of the promoters by withdrawing from
the combine. These refractory ones
were finally brought into line and Aug.
l was set as the date for the final con-
summation of the deal. Everything was
supposed to be going along smoothly
and there seemed to be no doubt but
that the trust would be launched on
that date Now comes the word that
the whole deal has again fallen through.
A private letter received here last week
states that nothing will be done toward
the fiotation OF the stock until next
spring, at least. a. q. Spalding, the
prime mover of the affair, says. how
ever, that he has not given up and that
the trust will be launched on Aug. as
advertised and announced.
Whether or not the combine is FORM
ed next month. the fact remains that
the big manufacturers have made a
great deal of progress in the matter.
and it is an assured fact that the larg-
est makers will be in combine within
the next six months.

MAKES A PLEA FOR HARMONY
alR. BRYAN'S ADVICE TO DEMO
Gratis OF KENTUCKY.
Desires All Gold Democrats to Re
turn to the Fold, Providing They
Accept the Platform.

st. Louis, July CIV. ]. Bryan to-
night handed to the Associated Press a
letter written to Urey Woodson, ma
tional Democratic committeeman for
Kentucky, bearing upon the fractional
differences arising in the ranks of the
Democratic party in Kentucky through
the nomination of William Goebel for
governor at Louisville several weeks
ago.
Mr.. Bryan goes on at length to show
MIR. Goebers loyalty to the Chicago
platform, and expresses a desire that
all gold Democrats shall return to the
party fold, provided they will accept
the Democratic platform and support
candidates pledged to it,
Certainly, victory won upon the
platform adopted by the Louisville con-
vention cannot do harm, but what shall
we say of defeat? If the Republican
state ticket is elected, the Republicans
in Kentucky and elsewhere will be en-
couraged, and the fight of 1900 made
harder. If the Democratic state ticket
IS defeated, Republican senator may
be elected from that state
He then goes on to show how the
cause of silver would be injured by such
result

DIFFERENCE In WOMEN.
What Appealed to Some Had No Ell

A striking incident was witnessed on
Main street last evening-one that
struck both sympathy and wonder to
the hearts of those who saw it. A wo-
man with two children, who have been
singing and playing on the streets Tor
aims. were standing near the u. &. NJ.
I. drug store, when a lady reputed to
be worth several hundred thousand
dollars, passed them with d friend, to
whom she was heard to remark:
wonder why such people don't go to the
institutions provided for them.
Just behind her were two women or
the town. AS the children's tiny voices
broke into a popular air each dropped
a dollar in the cup and passed on. Quite
q number witnessed the act, and ex-
pressed themselves on the consistency
of things"

Concerning Lap Races.

The lap race held on the Palace track,
seemed to puzzle many of the specta-
tors, and few seemed to know how the
points were counted. In a lap race the
men secure points according to the po-
sition they occupy in crossing the tape
at the finish of each lap. The first man
over the tape at the end of each lap
scores three points, the second man two
points and the third man one point, and
no others score. In the last lap the first
man scores four points. the second two
and the third man one. The rider hav-
ing the greatest number of points is
the winner

Why julius Lost.

In justice to Oscar Julius. who was
defeated by Emery in the match race
Thursday. it is only fair to say that
he was i'll for three or four days prior
to the race, and only rode to prevent
the disappointment of the public. He
had a bad spill just before the race
and was injured considerably In ad-
dition to this he was forced to ride a
strange wheel at the last minute. This
wheel was fitted with an 81 gear, and
julius never rides less than 100.
Notwithstanding these facts, Emery
rode a splendid race and is entitled TO
credit for his victory.
