80 SPEECHES
IN ONE DAY
Scheduled For Col. Bryan In
State Of New York.
Starts Out to Break His Own
Previous Record.
BEGINS AT CAMBRIDGE
Crowd Gets Him Out of Bed at
Seven O'clock.
Excursfonists Had Come In
From Surrounding Country.

cambridge, N. Y, Oct. 29.-Mr. Bryan
began the first day of the last week Of
his campaign with a brief speech at this
place. His train had been run from New
York to cambridge, via Albany during
the night and brought up here at
O'Clock. Notwithstanding the early hour
there was a throng of people at the rail-
road station and Mr.. Bryan was COM
PEELED to respond to their calls. He had
not yet arisen, but he dressed promptly
and went to the rear platform of the
Rambler, where he was soon Joined by
Mrs Bryan, who wiz remain with him
during the week. There were loud cheers
both for Mr.. Bryan and his wife and a
general demand for a handshake which
was acceded to by both. The resident
population had been reinforced by train
loads of people from other places
Mr.. Bryan started the day with a sche-
dule of 80 speeches before him, but he
announced at the breakfast table that
he was never in better condition for the
campaign and said that he wanted to
make all the speeches so as to break his
own record the highest number which
he had hitherto made in one day being
81.
This point developed a new orator in
the party in the person of James c.
Dahlman, the Nebraska national COM
mitteeman. While the crowd was wait
ing at the depot for Mr.. Bryan and
clamoring for his appearance, Mr.. Dahl
man stepped out on the rear platform to
explain the situation. Then he made a
speech telling the people that he had
been with Mr.. Bryan from the begin
ming of the campaign and he was sure
there would be a landslide in his favor.
There are gains everywhere, he said,
over in Canton, the presidents own home
where. Mr.. Bryan received only 81 votes
in 1896 there is now a Bryan club of be-
tween 400 and 800 members and he con-
cluded Canton is only a sample of what
is going on.
Mr.. Bryan was greeted by a fine crowd
when he began to speak at cambridge.
He said:
Il extended the time of my stay in
New York in order to come up into
this part Of the state. am glad to talk
to farmers, for it seems to me that if
the people of this country who are work
ing on the farm, who are making a liv-
ing out of the soil, will examine public
questions, that very few farmers will
be able to give a reason for voting the
Republican ticket In this part Of New
York you have a great many Republican
farmers-in fact the Republicans have
now admitted that the cities are lost
They started out with the full dinner
pail as an argument. They started out
with the assertion that the country was
prosperous and that therefore everybody
would vote the Republican ticket, and
yet today the Republicans are not men
tiCning the full dinner pail any more
Proceeding, Mr.. Bryan said the Repub-
licans had abandoned the idea OF carry
ing the cities and were now appealing &c
the farmers.

WELCOMED HOME.
Great Demonstration In London
For Returning Soldiers.

London, Oct 29.-The City Imperial
volunteers, who arrived at Southampton
from South Africa Saturday on the
British transport Urania reached here
by train this morning marched through
London, along streets packed by thou
sands, ana received a tumultuous greet
ing. Such demonstra ton was prob
ably never before evoked for such a
small body of volunteers.
The poStpOnement of LOndon's welcome
until today diminished the number of
spectators, but the enthusiasm could
scarcely have been more general or gen
uine. Early in the day Queen Victoria
sent a message to the returning troops,
welcoming them, and inquiring as to
their health.
The Prince Of Wales came to town and
viewed the procession from Marlborough
house The other royal personages
watching the little band of men in
khaki uniforms We're Princess Louise,
the Duchess of Argyle and Prince Ed
ward of Sake W eiTnar, who with many
other distinguished people had taken UP
positions of vantage early in the morn
ing. The clubs in Piccadilly presented
an unusual spectacle. Hundreds of wo-
men were at the windows, these sacred
precincts having thrown open their
doors in honor Of the great occasion. All
along the line of march there were fes-
tOonS of flags and other such devices,
presenting a brilliant spectacle, though
as matter OF fact the decorations had
I been UP since Saturday and had been
drenched with Sundays rain, which had
not improved the c0lors.
In addition to the City Imperial vol
unteeTs themselves there were in the
procession the bands of twelve volun-
teer regiments and $4,000 regulars and

Among the most interesting features
/ of the display was the presence in the
procession Of the invaded City Impe-

Careless Handling of Gun Results In
Wounding of Henry Vaughn.

Henry Vaughn, colored, was seriously
injured Sunday afternoon by the acct
dental discharge of a shotgun, the load
striking him in the thick of the thigh
just below the groin.
Vaughn is about sixteen years old and
lives on East Fifteenth street just across
the Missouri Pacific railroad tracks. He
took his gun at about $3.50 o'clock and
went over on Fourteenth street to shoot
a chicken. On his arrival at the house
where he was to shoot the chicken he
found some friends and they stood in
front of the house in conversation for a
few moments. In the meantime he had
laid his gun down on a. corner of the
railing of the veranda- The railing is
rather low and when he reached for the
gun instead Of taking hold of it by the
butt he grasped the barrel of the gun
near the muzzle and started to draw it
toward him. The gun was in this man
ner discharged, the shot taking effect
in his right leg.
DR.. Henry Roby was called who at
tended to the wounds. He is reported as
doing well and will recover.
Henry Vaughn is the son of of Thos.
Vaughn who has been for twenty years
connected with Silas Rain in the livery
business on West Sixth street

FEET OF GREAT LADIES.
IFrom the London Truth

IFrom the London TRUTH
The late empress of Austria mistrust-
ed her taste in dress. She was of opin-
ion that, being a German, she had no
eye for fia-f1a, and that her safest plan
was to cling to equestrian simplicity
One of her canons was that the only be-
coming dress for a fraulein was one Of
plain muslin, with a sash tied in broad
bow, a frilled pelerine to match. and a
broad brimmed Tuscan hat. But the
trouble was that a muslin dress showed
the feet-a reason why the empress
hardly ever wore such a thing. She
wore very long skirts, and took umbrage
al the Empress Eugene going to see her
thirty-two years ago at Salzburg in
short skirt. The Empress Eugene had
feet so small that her white satin shoes
served for first communion girls OK
eleven years old.
