Ceremony Arranged by Chance Fn"
 tirely in Persia and Japan.
 The naming of the child in Persia is made an event of great rejoicing and time for the gathering of relatives, When the guests are assembled sweet meats are eaten and then the infant i'll It's sWaddling clothes is brought in and laid on the carpet in the center Of the room by one of the priests, Five names are written on as many slips of paper and placed between the leaves of the Koran; chapter is read from this book and then one of the slips is drawn at random The name on the slip is the one the child has to bear through life, and the priest takes up the slip, pronounces the name in the childs ear and places the piece of pa- per in its clothes Gifts and eongratu- lations follow. The custom in Japan is for the parents on the thirteenth day after it's birth 10 take the child to the temple they attend and the father gives three names to the priest, who wrlles each on piece of paper. These are then shudied about with certain incantations and thrown up in the air The first that falls is the cue chosen, This is then written by the priest or q consecrated piece of paper and given to the child,s parents to preserve. The child then receives certain gifts, two of which are important If a boy two fans are presented; and if a girl pot of pomade, and in each case a packet Of flax thread is added, which signi- fies good wishes and long life.

HANNA'S NARROW ESCAPE.

Ten Pound Chunk of lee Thrown m
the Republican Chairman, Missed
Ills Head Less Than Two Inches.
CHICAGO, October 4.-Senator Han
nn was the target for a ten pound
chunk of ice tonight at the Thirty
first ward Republican meeting. The
missile was dropped through an aper-
ture in the tent directly over the
speakers stand. II did not miss Han
mas head over two inches. and had 1t
struck him it would have knocked him
down and probably fractured his
skull.
The police found the place where
the ice had been placed on the s,de-
walk, but could get no trace Of the
person who threw II. Senator Hanna
left the tent escorted and protected by
a double row OF pollea.
AS he was rolled away in his car
riage, there we're cries OF How would

now and election in securing victory for
those principles for which you believe
earnestly espoused.
"The Republican party is
Not Prepared to Meet the Issues
of this campaign. The Republican
party is to-day lodging, running from
every issue in the campaign. When
they started out they said the money
question was the question Of paramount
Importance. Why, my friends, when
the money question was paramount in
1896, we found the Republicans trying
TO make out that the tariff was the
paramount issue. They said Let us
open the mills instead Of the mints,'
and the first thing they did when they
got into power was not to reform the
currency. but to reform the tariff and
give the men who contributed a chance
to run their hands deeper into the
pockets of the people.
Now. when the questions of human
race and human liberty are at stake,
the Republicans say that the money
question is the paramount issue. They
were afraid in 1886 that we were going
to have a fifty cent dollar. Now they
have given us an eighty-ive per cent.
citizen in Porto Rico and they don't
dare tell us what per cent. of citizen
ship the Filipino is to have. In 1896
they said we could not have a double
standard Of money. Now they think
we can have a double standard of gov
eminent, a republic here and a 6es-
potism in the Philippine islands. They
said in 1896 that we could not main
tain a parity between a white and a
yellow. How can they maintain a
parity between q white citizen and d
yellow subject in the Philippines?
They find that it is too sordid a doc
trine to say that the standard of
money you have is more important
thar the form Of government under
which you live.
and yet, my friends. while they can
not now boast of the supremacy OF the
money question. they are not prepared
to meet the other issues. Mr.. Hanna
says there are no trusts. That settles
that question.
He ought to Ask His Wife.
Every wife knows that there are trusts.
1.-The Republican party is not prepared
to defend itself on the trust question,
therefore they try to get 1t out of the
campaign.
MY friends, until human nature is
entirely changed people held in bond
age will rise against it whenever there
is a prospect of success. God never
made a race that would welcome a for
eign master and 1000 years from now.
no matter what party Is in power, the
Filipinos will hate us and stand ready
to rise against US il We attempt to hold
them in ~vassalage and tax them without
consent.

many places has overcome the British

A SHORT CROWD

Greeted the CoIored Republican Ora
4 tors at the Opera House Last
Night.
A crowd which about half filled the
auditorium attended the meeting at
the Opera House last night, addressed
by Hon. j. C. Dancey, the colored orator
of North Carolina, and Attorney
lsomas Morris, the only colored law
in this city. Only about half the
lldience w~ass.omposed of the colored
race. The speakers were escorted TO
the place of meeting by three COM
panies of Rough Riders and the McKin-
ley & Gill club, a colored marching or
ganization of Bellaire.
County Chairman Hornish introduced
Attorney Morris, who presided.
He said he wanted to take a slight
departure from the usual course pur-
sued at such meetings. He then asked
the Rev. DR.. Bentley to make a prayer.
This procedure opened the exercises.
Chairman Morris then made his adj
dress. He said he was not unmindful
Of the honor conferred on him as pre-
siding officer. He said he two parties
now engaging the attention of the peo-
pie of this country, stood upon two
tferent platforms. One stood upon the
platform built by all Republicanism
since the signing of the Declaration
of independence, while the other stood
only on the platform built from the
policy of the present administration.
He said that the Fourth OF July, 1900,
was prostituted by the convention at
Kansas City.
In speaking of Imperialism, he SAID
that Mr.. Bryan had made use of the
term and that of militarism for the
purpose Of soaring the German and
English vote into the Democratic
ranks. How well he will succeed re-
mains to be seen and the result will
be seen on the 9th day of November.
After deriding Mr.. Bryan's prophe-
sizes he then took on the role of the
seer and prophesied an overwhelming
defeat for the Democratic ticket in No
yember, much to the delight of the
audience
He then took up the trust question,
saying the only trust he knew of was
the trust that starts it's boundary from
the northern coast of Virginia and
stretches to the western boundaries of
Texas, which had deprived 1000, 900
negroes OF their vote.
he then introduced Mr.. Daucey.
he opened his address with the usual
greeting. He said he was a Republi-
can because the Republican party was
Fight. He wasn't a Democratic because
Inc Democratic party was wrong. He
sald ne was a Republican because if
: haont been for the Republican party
ne couldn't stand for anything.
lie then began a most partisan har-
angue, discussing the d~isfranchise-
nent of the negro in the South. He re-.
'ounted the history of the campaigns
hnce the rebellion, working out Mr..
bryan's defeat therefrom. The speak,
e. then 0 some of Mr.. Bryan's pro-
pnesses and endeavored to show where
al. Bryan was in the wrong.
he touched to som length on i'm
periallsm and liberty. He attributed
me present prosperity of the race to
'neir ability to laugh. The Indian
never laughed and where was he to-
aay. Did not the negro have the fac
nifty OF laughing they would n&r be
fotallr extinct. The close Of adj

Town Topics.


ON thing is emphasized In Town Top
les" which comes to the Grand the first
half of next week. 1t is announced that
1t is different in general, and in one re-
spect in particular, from other farce COM
edies, in that it furnishes much merriment
of a wholesome, genuinely funny charac-
ter, without a single vulgar or suggestive
song or dance. So nobody, however, NOR
ally strict they may be, can be shocked in
any way. The scenes and incidents are
crowded with amusing mistakes, witty
sayings. tuneful songs, picturesque dances
by young and pretty women, and other
features that catch the popular fancy.
This is the secret of its success with all
classes of t~heatre-goers who prefer farce
comedy to any other kind of amusement
at the theatre, where they rather laugh
all the time than think out plots. Town
Topics don't require mental labor. 1t is
the premier of merry makers. Willie Dun
lay, of Wheeling, plays an important role
and will add to the jolity of the piece.
