visited the state university. The young
man who guided me around through the
buildings told me that he worked and
earned the means with which he car
ried himself through school. And the
president with whom was talking later
about this young man, told me that
over 40 per cent. of the students went
through the school in the same way.
Yet Mr.. Bryan makes the assertion
that there is no avenue left open for
the young. He reminds me of a fool in
his pessimism.
I'm Kansas City he talked to the men
who worked in the packing houses. and
told them that it was an insult to talk
to them of a full dinner pail. He as
sured them that what they wanted was
leisure time for intellectual develop
ment. In 1896 they had plenty time for
their development of the mind. They
were not kept from it by a dullness
caused by dinner pail too FULL
Mr.. Irish closed his meeting after
speaking about one hour and forty min
utes, by saying: when the polls close
after this election I expect to see by
the worlds greatest jury the condemna-
ton of Mr.. Bryan and all the pernicious
isms which he stands for" This was
met with prolonged cheers, after which
Mr.. Irish proposed three cheers for "the
gold standard, the full dinner pail and
the gold dollar that fills it," They were
given with will.

GOLD WON'T STAY.
Bank Of England Has Hard Time TO
Keep It's Reserve

London, Oct 13.-The abundance of
money has not lessened and borrowers
are able to obtain funds at practically
their own terms Discounts are firm.
The announcement of a further ship
ment of half a million in gold today
from India was counteracted by Ameri-
can inquiries Business transac tiOns
were small, operators being chary of
taking bills at any price in the present
uncertain condition of the market.
Though business on the stock ex-
change was not improved today there
was generally more hopeful view pre-
Vailing. COnSolS hardened and the war
loan was steady at 4 discount
The Statist says:
An early advance in the bank rate
seems unavoidable. The supply of mon
ey is still superintendent, day by day
loans being made as low as / per cent
while the general rate is only IL per
cent. This abundance is regrettable
With the rate of American exchange
falling TO the gold point the Bank of
England has already been obliged to sell
83O00 900 in the United States and more
is expected to go. The banks reserve
has been reduced to &21, 600, 900 and the
crucial question is how high must mon
ey be raised in London to stop the
threatened outflow of gold to the United
States and Germany and maintain the
Bank of England's reserve on a safe
level"
The theme of all commentators is the
probable loss of more gold New York

ATHLETES FAILURE.
Was Not Success Until He Was
Pot on the RIGHT Food.

Cecelius X Hale, Of 1717 Barclay St,
Baltimore, Nd, now quite a famous run
ner. has had some interesting experience
in regard to proper feeding. His testi-
mOny is worth the attention of anv
athlete, or in fact, of any person who
cares for good, sturdy. powerful health.
up to about Is months ago I had
been in many athletic contests, without
much success I about made up nv
mind it was time to stop. but physical
director of the 7. NJ c. A of this CITY
advised me to use Grape-Nuts food and
Postum Cereal Coffee as principal fact
ors in my diet.
I accepted the advice and today am
in possession of perfect health, and a
great many medals won in different ath-
letic events can now run a race and
finish in fine condition, whereas before I
started on the right diet, I would find
myself in a faint at the end Of a race
Formerly I had more or less nervous
trouble and severe headaches. 1 am
glad to say since using Grape-Nuts and
Postum Food Coffee I have forgotten
what headache feels like. Ny heart is
IN perfect condition, whereas while I
was using ordinary coffee it would not
stand the heavy strain This statement
IS absolutely true, and do not object

back health and strength to some poor
being suffering from III health. caused
by the use Of improper food.
There is a reason for this: in the first
place. ordinary coffee viii shows its
effects somewhere in the nervous svs-
teTn-freQuently in weakening of the
heart or in stomach troubles, which pre-
vents one from obtaining the strength
and value of food. 1t is therefore nee
essary TO quit the use of this drug. and
In its place use Postum Cereal Food
Coffee and Grape-Nuts food
They were both invented by q food
expert and are made at the famous pure
food factories Of the Postum Cereal Co.
Ltd, at Battle Creek, Mich This food
and the food drink are both made for q

sands Of users throughout the world
that can testify, from practical expert
ence- that the theory is borne out by the

CHASE GETS AWAY.
Young Millionaire Escapes From a

New York, oct ia dispatch to the
Journal and Advertiser from Paris says:
Moses Fowler Chase, the young million
aire of Lafayette. Ind, has disa ppeared
from the private insane asylum near
Paris where he had been placed recent
" by his aunt, Mrs Duhme, of Cincin-
natl The family dispute over the
young mans sanity has rearisen and viii

Detective Sutherland, of Chicago, has
arrived in Paris. He was sent by the
Chase family in Lafayette. The detect
i've found the boy in a private asylum at
No. 145 Rue de Versailles, Bologne Sur
Seine. While taking proper steps to re-
move the boy the latter suddenly disap-
peared.
The keepers of the asylum said Chase
had gone, but they did not know where.
No trace of him has been found, and
there are diverse theories as to his dis
appearance. Whether he has wandered
of himself or been spirited away can
only be cOnjectured. The Duhmes are

TO GO POLE HUNTING.
William ziegler VIM Fit Out an Ex-
petition.

New York, Oct 13.-WilIiam ziegler,
a wealthy citizen of New York, an
nOunced today that he would purchase
two vessels, fully equip and man them
and send them in quest of the north pole
during the summer of 1901
The expedition is to be in charge of
Evelyn B. Baldwin, who was a compan-
ion of Lieutenant Peary in his attempts
to reach the pole in 1893 and 1894 and
also member of Walter Wenman's ex-
petition.
1t is Mr.. Zeigler's intention to have
one vessel remain in the Arctic region
while the other returns for supplies. The
expedition it is said will not be dis
patched for the north earlier than the
summer of 1901, and all the time between
this date and that will be necessary for
the preparation and outfit Ships may
be purchased, though vessels specially
adapted for the work may be built.

John P. Irish, the noted California
orator who has been stumping the coun-
try under the auspices of the national
Gold Democratic committee, spoke at
the Auditorium last evening to a crowd
that tested the capacity of the Auditor
ium. Every seat in the building was oc-
cupied and the aisles were crowded The
immense crowd which was attracted to
the street by the pyrotechnic display
could not by any means find places in
the hall and many were turned away
The audience was sympathetic and
liberal with it's applause. Mr.. Irish has
the faculty of being an interesting talker,
a good story teller and is able to hold
his audience.
Jackson's band was stationed on the
stage and first played the STARS and

About $780, Mr.. irish, escorted by Mr..

While in Topeka Mr. Irish was the
guest of Eugene Hagan.
The committee having the matter in
charge advertised the meeting as one in
which Mr.. Cochran, who spoke in the
Auditorium last Saturday, would be an
sWered, but those who expected to hear
an answer were disappointed.
Mr.. Irish only mentioned Mr.. Cochran
in one connection. He said:

over a new doctrine of imperialism he
has discovered. His apostle, Bourke

VACANCIES IN THE
Thirteenth Regiment
Captains Bevan, of X, and Burk-
house, Of G, Resign-Captain
Stokes May Follow.

There are two captaincies in tho
Thirteenth regiment vacant, with the
prospect of q third during the presen,
week.
The captains who have resigned ar.
Captain Burson W. Beven. of Com.
pany X, and Captain Edward III
Eurkhouse, of Company C. Their
| designations We're handed in during
the past week, and were accepted with
much regret by Colonel Waitress be-
cause both young men have been cap
able and efficient officers.
The reason assigned for the resig-
| nations in both instances was that the
duties of the position interfered toe
| much with their business affairs. The
third resignation, which is eXpecte
this week. is that of Captain Fremont
Stokes. of Company r, who is gennr-
ally conceded to be one of the best
drillmasters in the guard.
Captain Stokes was recently APP
pointed superintendent of the Hill
side Coal and Iron company's mines
near Pittston. and has within the past
week moved to that city and will
make his future home there. Those in
position to know say that his resig-
nation will be forthcoming within the
next few days.
1t is generally conceded that First
Lieutenant Milton O'Conncll. of Com
pany *, will be elected to succc ID
Captain Bevan at the election. which
is to be held on January !! in the arni-
DRY, and that Second Lieutenant Isaac
Brown will be made first Lieutenant.
Just who will be elected second lieu
tenant is an open question.
The date for the election to fill the
vacancy in Company G has not yet
been fixed. but it is almost certain
that when it is held First Lieutenant
Joseph Hclriegel will be elected to iill
the vacancy caused by Captain Burk-
houses resignation.
If Captain Stokes resigns First Leu-
tenant George G. Merriam will in all
probability he chosen in his place.
Lieutenant Merriam was up TO a few
weeks ago inspector of rifle practice.
but resigned this position tc accept
the first lieutenancy of Company r,
to which he was elected unanimously.
If he is chosen captain, Second Lieu
tenant Henshaw will probably be
raised to the first lieutenancy. and
First Sergeant Derby to the second
lieutenancy.
The spring inspections will be COM
menced by Major w. S. Millar. in
spector of the Third brigade. in Feb
ruary. The Thirteenth re egiment is the
last on the list to be inspected, and
it is probable that it will be installed
in the magnificent new armory before
the doughty major looks up and down
the company lines.
