BRYAN WAS GREETED
BY MANY THOUSANDS
Madison Square Garden Filled
to Overfowing.
WAS GIVEN AN OVATION

SUaCo ana NoClonaI tarty Leauorb -
Attendsnoe-Mayor Jones Of Toledo
and the Vice Presidential Candidate
Were Conspicuous Figures.
NEW YORK. Oct 1e.-One Of the great
est demonstrations in the history Of
American politics was held at Madison
Square Garden tonight.
The amphitheater has a seating CO.
pscity of 30. 600, but when Hon. w. J.
Bryan was introduced to his New York
audience 1t was estimated that there
were $4,000 to 10000 people inside the
building, while a vast multitude on the
outside clamored for admission.
All the state and party leaders OF
prominence were present with few ex.
oeptions, which shows that there is
unity of purpose among New York Dem.
ocrats.
MIR. Bryan devoted himself 70 the
trusts and imperialism, touching upon
other minor issues.
His speech was entirely extemporane-
Gus, but he was never at q loss for words
or phrases. In fact, this was his master
effort Of the entire campaign.
He assailed the Republican campaign
and advanced unanswerable arguments
In support of the Democratic party. At
the conclusion of his speech Mr.. Bryan
was greeted with an outburst Of applause
the like Of which was never given any
political candidate BEFORE Several Other
speakers were introduced, who made
Ssrsns appeals for the success Of the
Demoo<atic party. but all pa1ed Into aS-
nifcanoe beside the great orattea Of tAs

Prisoners of War and the Right
OF Parole.

Although the present war In South At

organized effort on the part OF two
armies to extermirrate each other ire
gardless OF the in which 1t is
done it Is nevertheless a fact that there
are many rules and customs governing
the game of war hat are followed with
exact nicely by those who are engaged in
the conflict. To the private citizen these
questions Of right and wrong, OF foul and
fair, where war is concerned are some
what mysterious but military men know
and study them for they realize that ii
these Things are not remembered on the
battlefield they are liable to bring their
government into disrepute.

tween two independent nations and can
only be brought by the sovereign power

agree to release on parole he pledges him
self against active service against the
ehemy during the existing war but his
does not prevent him from doing service
in drilling recruits, quelling disturbances
or performing other duties Of a semi
peaceful character. If. after making his
pledge, the prisoner finds that 1t is not
approved by his government he is bound
by hds promise to return and surrender
himself to the enemy.
Parole is usually given through a COM
manding officer and such an officer has
the right to give parole for himself and
his men. All are bound by his promise.
OF course the wounded of tile enemy are
to be cared for second only to ones own
wounded.
The non-combatant population Of the
enemy's country cannot be made to fight
against those with whom they sympa-
thize but they can be compelled to give
up their arms, give a bond for good con-
duct, n may be made to act as guides.
drivers and wokmen providing all such
services are paid for. Fugitives and de-
serters or persons violating their parole
are liabl to the penalty Of death. All or
ganfzed forces announcing themselves as
enemies must be treated accordingly and.
" captured, mus be accorded the rights
due a prisoner of war.
Retaliation is military vengeance. It
implies that when an outrage has been
committed on one side the other side may
r~etaliate by h commission of a similar
act. If prisoners are executed unjustly
the enemy have a perfect right to exc
cute an equal number of prisoners. Re-
taliatiOn is the extreme right OF war and
should only be resorted to as a last nee
essity.
The primary object of var is compen-
sation for an injury and this may or may
not be held to include the expense of the

/ Of resistance. This does not include per.
mission to wantonly damage churches
museums or public buildings. 1t does
not include the right to take private
property. The retention of archives is an
other barbarism that is prohibited by the
customs of war. There rave been times
when pictures and other works Of art
have been seized, but such actions do mo-

with Gertrude Bird, 'fhow would like
company to the East? Gertrude Is thor
oughly homesick and longs to see her
mother again; and though we shall lose
half the sunshine of our home, l cannot
urge her to stay another month. Your
going back offers uch a capital chance
for her to travel in company that Gertie's
deputed me to ask you If she'll be any

So what was left for me, Pau Par
ticular, bachelor, who had never taken
charge" Of a lady on a journey in all my
life but to protest to Dick Avery, his
wife and Miss Gertrude Bird that it
would afford me the sincerest pleasure to
act as escort from Montana to Massachu-
sets to the last named young lady! And
this is how I came by my encumbrance!
1t Is one thing to meet a young lady
and that lady as pretty and bewitching
as Miss Bird at stated hours, daytime and
evening, and quite another to find your
self shut w in the same railroad car
with her and seated on the same seat
with her for a journey of three or four
days and nights together. One either gets
thoroughly wearfed of or in love with his
companion during all this; that is. If he
is unmarried and susceptible. But I,

The first days journey was in no wise
different from that of any good-natured,
easy man who is encountered with the
charge of a young lady with her dainty
individual wants to attend to. Sure it
was that Miss Gertrude Birds first
twelve hours were comparatively easy
ones to her.
But when twilight had merged into
evening Gertrude Birds brown head be-
gan to show most ~uneNuivocal symptoms
of weariness; then began my first posi-
tive trouble. Finally the nOdding head
settled in its own way; over and over it
dropped toward me, till at last it settled

they have been married for a long time.
This has led to many jests and stories.
but about as funny a thing in this con-
nection as I know of actually happened
to a friend of mine who got married last
year. The wedding occurred in this city,
and the brougham in which they drove
away from the house had been literally
decorated with ribbons and steamers
by their friends.
AS soon as they turned the corner the
bridegroom ordered the coachman to
take them to the nearest vat sta
ton, and there dismissed the obnoxious
carriage. In pursuit of their plan Of
deception they determined to sit on OPP
posite sides of the car, to pretend not to
know each other, and to be apparently
deeply absorbed in reading papers. All
of this they did. but everyone that en-
tered that particular car would first
glance at one and then at the other,
smile audibly and give them their undi-
vided and amused attention. They saw
they were discovered, but in what a
ner it had come about they could not
imagine. 1t was only when they finally
got into their stateroom in the train at
the FOrty-second street station that the
, reason why their reception failed to de-
ceive revealed itself, for then they dis

a decidedly novel position in which I, a
bachelor, found myself, and it was not

climbed into a sleeper that she Weakened.
Then Miss Bird lifted her little head
and said with a blush. "Oh, 1 must have

tates of my good natur, l was forced to

~"BUTCHER'S BILL"

There has recently appeared a list of
the commissioned officers of the army
who have lost their lives In the Philip
pines since the war began on that side
of the world. This list numbers So. Few
persons, except those who are Interested
in army matters particularly. would be-
!ieve that a larger number of commits
stoned officers than those embraced in
the Philippine list. have been killed by
the Indians Of our country since the close
Of the Civil war. These officers were
killed one or tWo at a time, except in
the case of the Custer massacre, and
little attention was paid at the time to
their deaths. Following is a omplete list
