Bryan, TO silence CaIumnY, gives
Sources OF his Income.
In the campaign just closed the
Republicans have charged many
times that Mr.. Bryan made cam
Daign speeches for money, and 1t
was declared that through his
political work he was making a
fortune. II was also said that he
was not able to earn a living as a
lawyer. In reply to the first charge
Mr.. Bryan says that he does not
charge a cent for any campaign
speech and on these trips pays
his own hotel bills and railroad
tares unless he Is travelling on
special train. In reply to the
second charge, that he could not
earn his living as lawyer, Mr..
Bryan also authorized the follow
ing statement:
"Mr. Bryan began the practice
OF law in his native town of Jack
sonville, ILL.,, July 4, 1883, shortly
alter his graduation. He was then
ss years old, and for the next six
months, or for the remainder of the
year 1885, his fees at the bar
amounted to SO, but for the next
year, 1884, they amounted to
| S77o.ao. In 1885 they wer :
81. .o8s.a7, and in 1886 81, ,s66.s3.
"For the next nine months his
fees were SI,36s.03 or at the rate
OF about 81, 800 a year, and on the
last day Of September, 1887, he
moved to Lincoln. Neb., and be-
gan business there Oct. I, 1887, be-
ing then ~ years old and without
friends in Lincoln.
"He did not even know more
than hall a dozen persons in the
town, and in the remaining three
Tonths of that year earned in Lin
coin in his practice at the bar
sass. He was then just begin
ming to form an acquaintance, and
in 1888 he earned S834.4I. In
1850 his fees rose to SI,99S. 20, and
were increasing in the following
year when he was nominated ioI
Congress and entered the cam
paign. After his election to Con-
gress he abandoned the law for
public life.
"Sinee the 1896 campaign he ha,
had several offers Of Sa5. 900 year
from corporations to act as theiI
attorney. One was a New York
corporation. But he prefers to de.
cline all these offers and devote
himself to his present objects.
"Mr. Bryan says that he earns
money now in three ways, iron
his book, through lectures and by
writing articles for the magazines
and the press.
"Whiie Mr.. Bryan is far from
being a rich man, even in the mod
est sense in which the term is useC
in a small Western city, he has nc
debts. He has always lived withir
his income, owning his own house
and a little farm of twenty-five
acres. He has no expensive habit.

sale of Malt Extraot.

A public hearing was given by
the Commissioners last Thursday
afternoon to a large delegation Of
local druggists in regard 20 the
controversy over the sale of malt
extract in the District.
Mr.. A. A. Lipscomb argued at
length against the further prosecu-
ton OF the local druggists. The
lawyer said that the liquor law
under which the prosecutions were
being made was plainly aimed at
liquor, which IS sold as a beverage.
The attorney said druggists could,
if they chose, put whisky in sirup
and sell it as a drink, only in the
present instance they were charged
with selling a malt extract medi-
cine. He claimed that the law was
not violated in the cases now be-
fore the courts. He cited instances
where direct violation oil the law
was shown, and the iuries in the
cases had acquitted the defend
ants. He said that the malt ex.
tract was sold as medicine, and
not as a beverage, and there is
scarcely a concoction or tineture
sold by the pharmacists which
does not contain as much or more
alcohol as the, malt extract.
Mr.. Lipscomb said cologne con-
tained enough alcohol to cause
intoxication, and stated that
women often use it for such a pur-
pose, The attorney stated that the
druggists would be all driven out
Of business il the law should be
enforced as strictly as is now pro-
posed.
Commissioner Wight then said
it was by no means the wish or in
tention OF the Commissioners to
impose unnecessary hardship upon
the druggists. and he directed at
tention to the fact that the cases
now pending in the courts were
brought about by private parties
and not by the Commissioners.
Mr.. Iipscomb said he was aware
the Commissioners were willing
to give the druggists their rights,
but as the cases in question were
being prosecuted in the name of
the municipal authorities, he would
request, in behalf OF his clients,
that prosecutions be discontinued
until the case now before the
Court Of Appeals shall have been
decided. Mr.. Lipscomb added
that the Commissioners might in
struct their attorney in the Police
Court that no more cases OF the
sort be presented there un'il the
upper court had rendered its de-
cIsion. Alter brief consultation
with the health officer and Mai.
Sylvester, the Commissioners an
nounced to the delegation that
they would consider the matter
and render decision at an early
date.

them made in August, 1864, to
turn over IS, 900 Northern prison
ers without an equivalent was ac-
eepted only in December follow
ing, during which time four-htth
of the Northern prisoners died.
Then the Washington military au-
thorities to screen their own crime
charged a poor, sick and wounded
Confederate prisoner with conspir-
ing with Jefferson Davis and other
Southern leaders to cause the
death OF the Northern prisoners
confined at Andersonville. He
was convicted Of such conspiracy
and hung. None oi the other "con-
spirators" were tried, and, If ar
rested, were discharged. On the
night before his execution Wirz
was offered his life, If he would
implicate Jefferson Davis, the latter

becoming a perjurer and died.

three children, died shortly after G
o'clock this morning from pneumonia
The child's death took place at the
home of Miss Julie deForest, in this
city. Miss dcForest is q friend of the
Kipings, and Josephine had been taken
to her home so that She could be nursed
apart from her father.
The girl became i'll the day after Mr..
