throng. 1t would be folly to attempt
to estimate the number of persons who
saw the parade. Not only did men, wo-
men and children wear Mckinley or
Bryan badges, and shout for their IA
vorites, but they took other methods OF
expressing their feelings.
Almost every sort OF noise-making
device known to human Ingenuity was
in evidence during the night. There
were thousands of tin horns, some or
them covered with tri-colored wrap
pers Some young men had instru-
ments Of this sort several feet in length.
which produced weird and unearthly
noises. There were "horse-iddles" ga
lore, and even COW bells The din was
awful The shooting cane, the most
atrocious of all campaign devices, was
used with telling effect. Boys seemed
TO take delight in discharging them in
a crowd Of women. and laughing glee-
fully over their discontinue. The
shooting cane should be suppressed.
The parade was 80 minutes in pass
ing the Register Office. The number of
men is line is fairly stated above. One
man counted 2,25S marchers, and said
he would make affidavit that his figures
would not vary ten either way. Two
others stood together at Eleventh
street, and counted 1888, and were
equally positive about their figures.

P&RKI1LiSBURG,W ~. Va, October is.
Governor Roosevelt drew the largest
crowd here tonight which has greeted
any candidate i'm Parkersburg since
Bryan spoke here four years ago.
Thousands of persons lined the
streets along a route Of parade about a
mile long, and at least thousand per-
sons were in the parade, including a
hundred horsemen.
Cheap excursion rates, which had
been refused for the Bryan and Steven
son meetings, brought in several thous-
and persons from every direction.
Two thousand persons came in from
Grafton and points this side, including
the Tiger club from Grafton and the
Clarksburg 4.ough Riders. Free tickets
were given to about half of those who
came from along the B. & O. Five hun
dred persons came from Marietta.
1t was noisy cowboy reception
which he got here, but the audiences
which heard him at the wlgwam and
the auditorium were evidently attracted
through curiosity and were singularly
lacking in enthusiasm
He spoke only about ten minutes at
each place and got little applause, what
he had being started and egged on by
the leaders. The noisy. boisterous
crowd is parading the streets, now that
the speeches are over.

twenty-five hundred to three thousand

While the crowd was waiting small
hand bills were distributed on

he said that the best way to get
rid of Bryan and his child labor is TO
stand 1t up against the wall and shoot
it to death, and that any one who
would join strike ought to be shot 1t
also contained an extract from one of
his publications, in which he made his
famous comparison between the cow

Congress the power to regulate the

How Secret Service Men Work.

"No such things as, disguises are
used by the men Of the Secret Service
Bureau" said Chief Wilkie, of that
organization, a few days ago. 1.-THE
bow who reads the ten-cent literature
describing the many lightning changes
and disguises made by alleged sleuths
of the Government and other services
imagines these stories to be true, and
the impressions he receives remain
with him for long time. AS a mat
ter of fact, no such thing as a dis
guise for a Secret Service detective Is
known, and do not know of a case
ever worked by an operator of the
Bureau in which false faces or other
articles Of this kind have ever been
used. The men of the Secret Service
of the Government frequently clothe
themselves to suit the vicinity and the
people among whom they are at work.
For instance, if q man is at work in
an agricultural vicinity and among
people who would suspect the attire
of a well-dressed person, he does not
wear the best clothes or linen which
has been finished by q Chinaman or
a steam laundry. His attire is in
keeping with his situation and circum'
stances. He may let his beard grow
long and become careless in keeping
his clothes busted. If he is at work
in a city, among Italians, for instance,
he deports himself in such a way as
to keep from advertising himself as
a detective of the Government. If he
did not he would be unable to acquire
information from the class of people
who were perpetrating the violations
Of the laws Of the United States.
Everything depends upon the necessi-
ties of the case, but under no circum-
stances would we permit an operator
of the Bureau to- bother with such
cheap articles as wigs, false faces,
mustaches and the like."-Washington

Choctaws, Chickasaws and Creeks have
signified their acceptance of the invf
tation held out by the Executive Com

of acceptance by the other tribes.
This will be the first time in the
history of the United States that the
tribes ever took part in an undertake
ing in which white men presided.
1t is proposed that the queens shall
be chosen by the tribes according te
their laws. They must be full bloodec
Indians, and each will have an escor'
of full blooded Indians in the carnival
They will have the place of honor
among the queens chosen from the
cities surrounding Fort Smith, and the
occasion will be made one in which
the Indians and whites will be drawn
more closely together.

VICTIM OF SlMlAM JEALOUSY.
TTalented Monkey Died BECAUSE
Stunned by His Envlous Fellows.

Stunned by His Envious Fellows.
All that BoraX, the little pink-eyed
monkey, wanted of his fellows IN the
Lincoln Park Zoo was kind treatment,
and when they turned their backs on
him and ignored the inoffensive crea-
ture altogether he got sick and sulked
in the darkest corner Of the cage. The
keepers had never witnessed such
strange manifestation Of feeling akin
to human among the animals, and
lid not worry about BoraX. The os-
tracism imposed on him by his erst-
while companions made BoraX SICK,
and he refused nourishment. Sunday
morning the little animal died, and
his long-tailed playmates of two weeks
ago, unforgiving even in the face or
death, refused to show the slightest
sign of sorrow when he was carried
away and buried.
The circumstances of BoraX's death
were not known to the thousands VINO
visited the animal reservation. They
found the monkeys in new cages, and
when something was said about
demise in the colony they attributed
it to an accident attendant upon moV-
ing. There was one less simian 10
be bribed into clever acrobatic feat
with q handful of peanuts, but the
demand was not lessened through the
absence of the dead animal.
Borax was the cleverest performer
Of all the monkeys and his skill! led to
his fate. He handicapped his fellows
by his previous training, for he came
from a circus where he got a bun If
he rode a spirited greyhound around
the track without losing his seat and
n whipping if his performance did not
suit the trainer. BoraX's life ut the
Lincoln Park Zoo has promise Of
happier days. The first Sunday he
performed he got as many peanuts as
all the rest of the monkeys combined,
but Borax was not selfish and attempt
ed to divide his spoils. The simian'S
generosity was regarded as an attempt
to lord It oyer the. rest, and he was
not thanked.
Aftd a months stay at Lincoln
Park Borax apparently wished he had
never left the circus, though the bun
was frequently stale and the beating
a severe one. There he was Oh good
terms with the greyhound and the
savage bull terrier that wouldn't treat
any other member Of the outfit with
the deast show Of cfvility. Borax did
bis best to furnish amusement to the
crowd, but would not accept the re-
wards After dark his cage compan-
ions would appropriate their despised
comrades emoluments, though they
made sunkind remarks about him.
S;4sisYou, can't tell me that the pink
eyed fellow didn't die of grief" said
!. one OF the keepers yesterday. 1T
was a. plain case of getting shut out
in the cold. He wanted to be the
good fellow with the crowd, but they
wouldn't; stand for It. 1t is just like
men, anyhow. If they see a chap
succeeding they begin talking bad
about him. Borax wasn't accustomed
to that sort of q thing, and it broke
him all up. I could see that he could
not live through it. He didn't see any
chance of getting back to the circus
or another job, so he went back In the
cage and starved himself to death.
That monkey was more sentimental
than many a human being."-Chicago

The Legendary Gunsichr Mine.

All the deaths from thirst, the suf>
ferings in deserts and the vain results
of prospecting year after year do not
keep men from still going into the re-
gion of Death Valley, in Inyo County,
Cal, to find the legendary Gunsight
mine. In 1854 lnirty-two emigrants
started to 60 to the gold fields Of Cal
iforn!a from SAT- Lake City by the
southern route. They -rfered so
from lack of food and water that in
six weeks the' party was reduced to
nine people. One night, while camp
ing near a rocky ledge, George Dem
mis- discovered that the sight on the
muzzle of =. his rife had been lost.
Searching for something with which
to replace it he noticed whitish me-
tallic substance in the rock close at
, hand, and securing a piece of it he
speedily Whitfield and fitted into his
rifle q clumsy substitute for the lost
sight The following morning the
men resumed their journey. Only
five of th7 party finally reached q set
tlement in the San Bernardino Val
ley. Here tie sight which D:nnis had
carved in the desert attracted the at
tention of an old miner, who at once
pronounced 1t pure silver, and eagerly
inquired where 1t was found. A pros
pecting party was at once organized
| and q careful search made for what
has ever since been known as the
Gunsight Ledge, but failure attended
this first effort. Every year from
/ 1854 till now some men have gone in
search of the silver deposit where
Dennis got his pure silver gunsight.
! Only q few weeks ago a party of pros
pectors started out from the desert
! town of Barstow, Cal, to follow
/ what they believed was a sure trail to
the long-souSht Gunsight mine OF
Death Valley.

Size OF the Moon.

Mr.. Charles I. Whitmcil writes that
there is good evidence for believing
that the Nautical Almanac diameter Of
the moon used in computing eclpses is
too large. 1t is almost exactly 216O
miles. and should be reduced, prob
ably to 2l5S miles. Mr.. Whitmell re-
Gently made calculation for deter
mining the longest possible duration
of i solar eclipse. and obtained the
result seven minutes forty seconds.
This correction in the moons diameter
alters his estimate TO seven minutes
thirty-four seconds. -

that the animal was six years old.
Mr. Evans proved to be q good master
and the horse returned the kind treat

energy. and now, at thirty-three years
the horse works nearly every day, sec
and hears well, and has an excellent
appetite.
