Bryan Talks to u phonosraph.

Chicago, Aug. 14.-Mr. Bryan closet
ed himself with phOnograpI to-day
and delivered over again parts of tile
speech Of acceptance he made ut In
dianapOlfs last week. Those sections
in which the candidate promised to
call an extra session of Congress- to
deal with the Philippine question. and
the closing periods We're the principal
parts of the speech that went into the
photograph.
Colonel Bryan will not be in Chicago
on Tuesday, August 23rd. the day Of
the great parade of the Grand Army OF
the Republic. Rather than embarrass
President Mckinley for counter dem
onstration, the Democratic nominee for
the chief magistry will defer his nrriv-
al to the next day. or perhaps two
days later. This decision was reached
after Mr.. Bryan was made acquainted
with the program and the part to-
which he was assigned.
1t is expected that Bryan's speech as
ground out by the photograph will
play an important part in the cam
paign.

England a Drunken Nation, Says Sheldon


Topeka. Kas., Aug. 13.-Rev. Charles
NJ. Sheldon. who has just returned
from England, contributed an article
to the Topeka Daily Capital, which
paper he last spring edited for IL week
as he believed Jesus would have done.
He says: at may interest Kansas
people that they are living in n para
disc, so far as the curse of the liquor
business is concerned. when they COM
pare their condition as prohibitory
state, with Scotland and England.
Mrs. Sheldon and | have been in

Of whom threatened to do us personal
injury, and not Il soul in the train
offered any remonstrance. Such is the
love of the British for their military
heroes we have had to get off the side
walk and go In the street to give
'drunks' room; we have been jostled on
every platform by drunken men and
women; we have had Intoxicating
drinks offered us at the houses of Eng
llSh people, with the exception of n
few families of nOn-cOnfOrmist in Scot
land and London; we have seen the
evils of public houses on almost every
corner. with barmaids behind the bar
and little children in front of it. and
men and women crowding every inch
of room in every public house in ev-
evry town and city we have visited.
And it is the wonder and bewldcrmcnt
to us that such conditions can be faced
with indifference.

of outside war or dangers from other
nations, but because she has drunk
