BRYAN'S DIFFICULTIES.


The wealthy eastern Democrats are
already threatening to withhold their
contributions from the campaign fund
if William J. Bryan is the party's
presidential nominee next year. The
Bryanites will find it uphill business
running campaign without money,
and plenty of it. The silver barons of
the west, who put up last time, cannot
see any use of contributing to a lost
cause-besides, most of them are now
engaged in gold mining and making
their fortunes out of the yellow stuff. -

against the stream. There are, however,
indications that new plan of campaign

candidate. Quay still lacks seventeen
votes, and. under existing conditions.
there appears no way of securing the
necessary majority on Joint ballot to
enable the senator to retain his seat
1t Is currently reported that Quay will
be satisfied to trust his chances to the
next legislature. AS the Pennsylvania
sessions are biennial this will not con-
Vene until 1901. But the election of
its members will occur during a presi-
Dental year, and it is reasoned by the
Quay men that sufficient number of
straight out" machine Republicans
will be elected then to insure his return
to the senate
Meanwhile the great state of Penn
sylvania will be compelled to get along
with but one representative in the
United States senate. If Quay cannot
be it," he will not play himself nor
allow any other one to do So 1t is
true that Senator Penrose, who will
hold over, will have the dispensation
OF double amount of federal patron
age. but as he owes his election to
Senator Quay. it is shrewdly reasoned
that he will not prove ungrateful. but
Will permit Mr.. Quay to shape a por-
ton of this patronage for ultimate
good of himself 1t is manifest that
such programme is satisfactory to
the erstwhfle Pennsylvania boss from
the fact that he has gone off on a ten
days fishing excursion on the tarpon
banks. Should this scheme eventuate

and that, too, by the election of an

EPIsTLEs TO ST. PAUL.

The war with Spain, uniting as it has in
the military service of the United States men
who fought against each other thirty-fye
years ago in the Civil war, has brought to-
light some curious incidents. For instance,
it may not be generally known that Col. Will
lard GlaZier, of New York, who was recently
elected commander chief of the Blue and
Gray Legion. new military order now
forming in the North, captured by
Fitzhugh Lee In Virginia, and after an in
generation Of fourteen months in various
Southern prisons escaped and was recaptured
by Fighting Joe Wheeler in Georgia. Having
buried the Ratchet mauy years ago in COM
mon with nearly all veterans of the Rebel
lion, Col. GlaZier called to see Gen. Wheeler
in Washington the other day on his way TO
the West Indies, and was very cordially greet
ed by Gen Lee in Havana during the recent
Gomez banquet.
Among the headong fighters in the Con-

and Hampton, was in. almost daily conflict
with the Union cavalry. In which Glazier saw
service under Custer Fitzpatrick and Pleason-

PLAYING Power.

The amount of power expended on play
ing on piano has recently been figured out
in way which, if not altogether accurate
is at least interesting. Commenting on the
statement that it really requires more force
to sound note gently on this instrument
than it does to lift the lid of a kettle says
Weman's Life, it is easy to verify it. IL one
takes small handful Of coins and piles them
on key of piano.
When a sufficient quantity is piled on to
make note sound they may be weighed
and the figures will be found to be true. If
the pianist Is playing a fortssimo, much
greater force Is needed. At times the force
OF six pounds is thrown upon a single key
to produce a solitary effect
With chords the force is generally spread
over the various notes sounded simultane-
ously, though greater output of force is I'M
doubtedly expended This is what gives plan
lists the wonderful strength in their fingers
that is often commented on.

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.
METROPOLITAN.


Frank Daniels, one of the funniest operate
comedians on the American stage, with his
big opera company, will begin an engagement
of one week at the Metropolitan opera house
tonight. For the opening performance he will
present, for the first time in this city, his
latest comic opera success, 1.-The IDOLS Eye,
by Victor Herbert and Harry B. Smith. In
this opera Daniels appears as Abel Conn.,,
an aeronaut, and makes his first entrance in
balloon. In regard to musical, scenic and
comedy effects 1t is said to be the best medium
the popular comedian has found to amuse
the public. Mr.. Daniels is supported by
splendid operate organization, including such
well known names as Helen Redmond, Norma
Kopp, Kate TART, ALI c.. Wheelan, Will Dan
forth and John B. Park. The chorus is Claimed
to be the finest carried by any comic opera
company in the country, and is one of the

Friday and Saturday evenings Mr.. Daniels
will present THE Wizard of the Nile" his
