HELD AT TOPEKA
Populists Notify William J.
Bryan of His Nomination
for President.
Many Members of the Party From
ALI Over the Country in
Attendance.
Issues of the Day Generally Dis
cussed in the Speech of
Acceptance.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 24.-In the pres
ence of many distinguished members of
the party William j. Bryan was noti-
fed here of the Populist nomination for
president. The meeting was held at
the capitol grounds and was called to
order by Congressman Ridgeley, chair
man of the Populist state committee.
He introduced Hon. James A. Trout
man of this city, who welcomed the
guests on behalf of the mayor. He
was followed by Hon. Frank Doster,
chief justice Of Kansas, who delivered
the welcoming address on behalf Of the
state. Hon. Thomas M. Patterson OF
Colorado, as permanent chairman OF
the national Populist convention, was
called upon to make the notification
speech. Mr.. Patterson spoke at some
length, and was received with hearty
applause. Hon. A. w. Rucker, also Of
Colorado, was then introduced to give
Mr.. Bryan official notification of his
endorsement by the United States mon
etary league. Mr.. Rucker was also
we'll received.
Mr.. Bryan's Response.
In accepting the nomination Mr..
Bryan spoke Of the educational work
done by the Populist party in arousing
the people to study of the economic
and industrial questions and expressed
his deep appreciation of the liberality
of opinion and devotion to principle
which have led the members of the
party to enter the ranks Of another
party in the selection Of candidate.
Continuing, Mr.. Bryan pointed out
the many issues on which the Demo-
Gratis and Populists were united-the
money question, the income tax, direct
legislation, opposition to trusts and I'M
perialism and that fusion of forces was
the natural way to bring about the de.
sired reforms.
The colonial policy of the Mckinley
administration was then taken up and
discussed at length, the speaker paying
particular attention to the expense Of
large standing army and the menace
militarism would be to the people Of
the United States.

WAY WOMEN WORRY MOST.
Have More Leisure Time Than Men and
 Naturally Think over Things.

From time immemorial women have been told-by women, as well as men, though naturally more often by the latter-that worry digs wrinkles in their faces and sprinkles gray among their tresses. These warnings do lit tie good. The fair creatures go on worrying and will probably continue to do so until the millennium comes, Why this is so is answered in this way The question of worry with women seems to be simply this: Wome en are SC hedged about by the little- ness of their protected lives-for it is the protected woman who does the most worrying-that 1t is hard to see beyond and above sometimes, and mat ters in this way get wholly out of fo- cus If women had the capacity with men o1 getting up anu doing battle with things, worry would slip off their shoulders as easily as from off those of the average masculine. Man doesn't worry about debt, because he feels that he has it within him (since money making is his business) to make stuff. cient money to pay his debts-soma time. Women look at it more prae- tieally, and consider the now. Man doesn't generally worry about his health, because he really has not the time. Let him become il, though, and have to stop his work, and how is il with him? Man doesn't worry about the future--he is so madly interested in the present; nor about his clothes, for the tailor stands between him and that; nor about home matters-they
 from his point of view, are too trivia until he comes home to 8 badly cook ed dinner, and then in his broad out look there is no excuse for this state of things, for in business, if an em- ploye does not do his work properly, his employer gets some one who can. 8 method that will yet come to be powerful lever in the 1eVeling of wom

Spanish School sxstsm.

erivate houses are now rented under the Spanish school system, which pro- vided that the teachers, with their families, should live in such houses, the rent being part payment for their services. They also collected fees from children whose parents could pay. The balance of their compensation was of ten much ir arrears. and many of the teachers have not been paid for their work for the past two and one-half years prior to American occupation. No one is allowed to live in the school houses now. The salaries range from $50 to $75 per month, according to the size of the municipality. The principalf receive $10 extra per month. No cer- tificates are required of the teachers this year, but will be after Aug. 1. The teachers are appointed by the local boards of education, which in turn are appointed by the mayors.

Georgia Lawyers Handed Over Their
 Guns With Singular Unanim.tY.


 Georgia has a stringent law forbid ding it's citizens to carry pistols on pain of forfeiting the weapons and paying a fine Of $50 or being impris- oned for thirty days. Shortly after the passage Of this enactment Judge Lester was holding court in a little town, when suddenly he suspended the trial of case by ordering the sheriff to lock the doors of the courthouse. Gentlemen" said the judge when the doors were closed, ''I have just seen pistol on a man in this room, and cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty to let such violation of this law pass unnoticed. ought perhaps to go be fore the grand jury and indict him, but if that man will walk up to this stand and lay his pistol and fine of S1 down here I will let him off this time" The judge paused, and law yer sitting just before him got up, slipped his hand into hin noclzet. drew out q neat ivory-ha shooter. and laid it with de do}. q upon the stand This is a. right v said the judge.

The process went on until nineteen pistols of all kinds and sizes and shapes lay upon the stand, together with nineteen dollars by their side. The judge laughed as he con- plimented the nineteen delinquents upon being men of business, but adde ed that the man whom he. had seen with the pistol had not come up, and, glancing at the far side of the court. he continued: "I will give him one minute to accept my proposition, a2d If he fails I will hand him over to the sheriff." Immediately two men from the back of the court rose and begaA to move toward the judges stand.

Speed of ocean Liners.

In an article in Cassier's Magazine on steam speeds at sea, MT Oldham says twenty-five years ago the Atlantic had never been crossed by a screw steamer at a greater rate thaa fifteen miles an hour. that of the fastest liner. Scotia. Today steamers have reached the speed of twenty-five miles an hour, and, although the power required to propel a steamer varies With the cube of the speed, yet, before third of the next century expires, another increase of att least 50 per cent in ocean speed may be safely predicted. Tho cone struction of a steamer of 65,o00 tons will probably not trouble the con- structors of the future nearly as much as did the building of the Great East ern those of the past.
