YELLED PROPHET AT ST. LOUIS.
The Annual Pageant Viewed by
Hundreds of Thousands of In
terested Spectators.

st. Louis, Oct. t.-The Nations of
the Earth paraded in st. Louis Tues
day night, and their procession
through the streets, from the den Of
the Yelled Prophct-which few may
entcr-to the great throneroom Of
that monarch-which many may and
do enter-was between living walls
composed of hundreds Of thousands
of the prophets loyal subjects and
their guests the visitors.
The parade passed under a canopy
Of red, orange and purple tinted
clouds, formed by the smoke from
hundreds of Aaring hambeaux car
ried by his majesty's slaves. Through
these clouds, at intervals, there shot
bright streaks of the prophets colors,
like sunset rays that shoot through
clouds which hover over the horizon,
and bathed the whole central part Of
the great monorch's favorite city In
the glow Of his royal colors.
The parade was well worth watch
ing. There was novelty In conception,
cleverncss In creation and art in ar
rnngcmcnt and ornamcntation, Tho
ball which followed, at the Merchants
exchange, was an elaborate and sue
cessful affair.

DENIED BY MR.. BRYAN.
Did Not Receive $15O,0OO, or Any
Other Sum for Insisting Upon
the silver Plank.

Portage, Wis, Oct. 4.-Mr. Bryan's
attention was called to a statement
made by Mr.. Kingman that he re-
ceived $150,000 for insisting upon the
silver plank of the Kansas City silver
platform, and he said: ut is hardly
worth while to deny the charge of
man who hides behind a woman,
whose name he will not give, but in
order that the most INSCRIPTIONS re-
publican may have no reason for re-
peating the charge, l will say that it
is absolutely false in every particu-
lar. No one ever offered, promised or
gave me that sum or any other sum
for urging that plank or any other
plank in the Kansas City platform or
any other platform. l do not know
anything of Mr.. Kingman, but it is
said that he is cousin of Senator
Cullom, and l do know something of
Senator Cullom. The senator ought
to know whether his cousin is trust
worthy or not, and if the senator will
state over his own signature that he
believes what his cousin says, and is
