James r. Keene talked Bryan in the cafe
at the waldorf-Astoria last night but re-
fused to back up his opinions when he had
a chance to bet 100000 at odds of AZ to 1.
The opportunity was Offered to him by
Jacob Field, who has an office at Bell &
Co.'S.
Mr.. Keene, Mr.. Field and several other
Wall-street men were in the cafe talking
about stocks. Some one called attention
to the fact that there is to be an election
in a few days. and then the talk shifted
to politics, and became more or less argu-
mentative, with Mr.. Keene on the Bryan
side and all his companions against him.
.sWhat good has Bryan ever done, any
way?' asked Mr.. Field.
For answer Mr.. Keene pulled a Demo-
cratic campaign pamphlet out of his inside
coat pocket and began to read aloud about
imperialism. free silver. standing armies
and other things. All his hearers changed
their orders from light drinks TO hard stun
and Mr.. Field cut on the reading by a
suggestion that Mr.. Keene might show his
faith in the stuff that he had been reading
by risking little money. Il have 800 900, I"

1t, but I'll put up $4,000 against your $780,

Mr. Keene hesitated and all the other
brokers waited for his answer. 1t was a
disappointment to them.

and then he began to talk about the decora-
ton of the cafe ceiling.

AS PARKHURsT SEES 1T.
Dishonest Dollars Would Turn the
People Into an Aggregate Ananfas.


NEW YORK, Nov. 4-The Rev DR..
Charles HN Parkhurst, at the Madison
avenue Presbyterian Church this after
noon, took next Tuesdays election as the
basis of his sermon. 1t was DR.. Park
bursts church which Mr.. and Mrs. w. j.
Bryan attended last Sunday, when in New
York. AS DR.. Parkhurst's topic for to-
Gay was announced week ago the church
could hardly hold the people who came
to listen.
The doctor said in part that patriotism
meant the devoting of ourselves to our
country, rather than our country to our
selves No patriotic American could fail
to recognize as one of the periIs confront
ing America the strained relations exist
ing between the two competing classes IF
eur people. He added: After the pres-
Dental candidate who, to considerable
extent, stanis as the representative of
industrial disaffection has been defeated
as ii is said he will be-the situation so
far will not be altered at all. The candi-
date has not made the disaffection: il is
the disaffection that has made the candi-
date. And there is such an inundation
of ii, and in some of its ingredients so
rabid and lrredeemable as to have sue
ceeded in temporarily waterlogging a great
political party that, when we'll afioat anu
Its compass IN good working order, exists
for beneficent and divine purposes. 1t is
undoubtedly the fact, with regard TO this
part of the country, at any rate, that no
consideration is just now operating with
such tremendous effect as the considera-
ton Of the dollar. l want to say parer-
thetically, though, that | am not speaking
now of the technical economic properties
OF the dollar. l am not a banker or po-
litical economist, and yet without being
either and being simply a preacher 0f
righteousness, ii is automatic to say that
a dishonest dollar is a national fraud, and
that to indulge in dollar that makes be-
lieve that it is a whole dollar. when it is
only half dollar, would be to transform
our entire people into a great American
Ananias. That may not be the phraseo.-
ogy Of the economist, but that is the
Mount Sinai of it,
The preacher next warned his hearers
that righteousness was not the only thing
TO be sought by a nation, but that, in fact
prosperity has some perils all its own.
