Bryan is Looming Up.

It is said that Mr.. James Il.
Keene. a millionaire of New YORK,
known as the liking Of Wall Street.
has place $500 to $1,000 that
Bryan would defeat Mckinley in the
coming presidential contest. Tins
action, coming from such 4 source,
will necessarily cause some alarm ID
the ranks of our Republican friends.
Mr.. Keene has turned against the
Republicans on the ground that
their method CT conducting the at
fairs Of our National Government
will inevitably end i'll SOCIALISM or
revolution" Mr.. keenc justly says
that the coming election IS one OF
the very greatest importance to
Americans, as it will determine
whether we shall follow our Repub-
lican principles, on which our GOV
eminent was founded, or shall put
those principles and policies aside
and become an Empire pure and
simple.
II W. take upon ourselves the
management of the affairs Of far and
foreign colonies, can any one DOUBT
that the moment we DO so, that mo-
ment VIC cease, so far, to be Re
public2 1t is tho belief Of many
good people, able men, that We can
not afford to attempt an experiment
in our National life, which has been
the ruin Of nearly every people, IN
the past that have attempted It, and
which bodies no good for any GOV
crnmcnt in the present attempting
it.
We are glad to see men OF wealth
and influence coming to the aid OF
Democratic ideas. We are especially
glad to see them coming from such
State as New York.
Mr.. Bryan knows the influence OF
wealth and appreciates that it is
nearly all powerful. for he said jo-
cularly, when he spoke to the Con
stitntional Convention, in New Or
leans. that if any man in the audi
ence did not believe that money was
strong in tue land, let him run for
President of the United States on Il
free silver platform and he would
soon find it out.

MARSHALS MUST FIGHT
Should Always Take Their Prisoners
 the Nearest Way

Washington, Aug. H.-ComptroIler Trace well of the Treasury Department, in tfisal- lowing the mileage account of a Virginia marshal, insists that deputy marshals shall use the shortest practicable route in taking their prisoner to jail, or in serving war rants. In the case in question the shortest route lay through the famous shooting creek country, where it is said moon- sinners made 1t almost impossible for depu- ties to convey their prisoners in safety. The comptroller says in part:
 ''The government cannot afford even indi- rectly to encourage by a show of fear of resistance of its process by few ignorant and vicious mountaineers who infest the re- zion In question It Is to be understood by them and all others that the federal govern ment in making arrests for viola ton of it's laws will make them and execute them and not violate it's own laws as regards the mileage of it's officers for fear of the out laws. The government is perfectly able to cope with these law breakers and law de- fiers, and will furnish its officers all neces- sary assistance to enforce its precepts &C., cording to it's own methods. It is not it's method to snake its prisoners through out of the way places in order to avoid those persons who seek to defy and nullify it's mandates"

Danger of Free I,ropaganda

Rome. August 21.-The Pope has ad- dressed letter to the Cardinal Vicar, in which he sets forth the danger of the free propaganda of the Protestants in Italy, especially in Rome He observes that this propaganda is permissible by law, but goes on to show how painful to him is the situa- tion resulting from 1t, saying he cannot op- pose the propaganda.
 The Pope recommends that the Cardinal Vicar strengthen the work of preserving the faith, and he exhorts Catholics to unite in an effort to minimize us far as possible the damage caused by sectarian propaganda.

A negative and finished print was made at uO o'clock at night to test the utility of artificial light. The experiments were con- ducted by c. H. Smith and David Rosser of Pittsburg. The negatives were made with four seconds exposure by acetyline gas. The print was made with artificial light. The total time consumed in the op-

 STILL HAS HOPE ConsuIts Her Counsel Dr. Clark
 Bell of New York; DEFENDS LORD RUSSELL She Says the London Papers Have Un-
She Says the London Papers Have Un- justly Attacked the Chief Justice Since His Death-Thanks
 Her Friends

London, August 21.-For the first time since her life sentence was imposed eleven years ago, Mrs Florence Maybrick had private interview with her counsel, Dr. Clark Bell, of New York, at Aylesbury prison today. A portion of the time the counsel gave up to a repsentative of the Associated Press, who through the cour- tesy of the home office, was granted an opportunity to talk to the prisoner. Mrs. Maybrick is indignant at the attacks made by the Liverpool Post on the late Chief Justice of England, Lord Russell of Kilo- ween. former counsel for the prisoner.
 ''The only person up to the present who ever saw me alone" she said to the Asso- ciated Press representative, twas the Chief Justice. When the Assizes were here last February, Lord Russell came to the pris- on and asked to see me, as was his official right, irrespective of the home office or anyone. When he was starting to go, he said: Mrs. Maybrick I am doing all in my power for your release. Whatever happens. remember this-that if there is one man in England who believes in your innocence. I am that man.
 Tt was only by accident that heard of Lord RusseHs death for I have not seen a newspaper for a decade, but I cannot help but feel that in his death have lost my bert friend. It is an outrage in view of his constant and untiring efforts and friendship for me, that he should be att tackled now that he is dead I fully appre- ciate and am glad of the chance to ex- press my gratitude to the officials in Wash ington and to my friends throughout Amer lea, and especially the ladies, for what they are doing. It is that alone which has up- held be for all these years. I have my friends in England, too, and cannot but believe the time will soon come when these long years of captivity will cease and l shall be restored to my mother and coun- try"
 For the last few days Mrs. Maybrick has been in a hospital ward owing to a slight illness, but she says her health generally is good
 The recent United States memorial is still in the hands of the Home Secretary, Sir Matthew White Ridley, and Mrs May bricks friends are hopeful that when the answer comes it will be a pardon.

LAST DETAILS
For the Coming Grand Celebration of

Chicago, Aug. H.-General Shaw, com mander-in-chief of the G. A. R., arrived in Chicago tonight to consult with the ex- ecutive committee on the last details con- cerning the coming celebration which, he says, promises to be the largest and most successful encampment in the history of the organization. Our membership is de- creasng rapidly every year, said the com mander, land soon the G. A. R. will be a thing of the past. I hope, however, that before we pass out of existence we will change our memorial day from the S0th of May to the last Sunday in May. Memor- ial day should be given over to inspiration and not to boat racing and ball games.
