THE THIRD PARTY PROJECT.
ncation That Bryan Remains
. Candidate.

While there is nothing in evidence
to prove that Mr.. Bryan is in any way
connected with the conglomerate
third-party movement-which has been
started in Kansas City, it may be as
sumed that he knew about 1t before it
was begun, and that it has his sane
ton. 1t may be assumed also that he
intends to use the new organization as
check upon the element in the demo-
cratic party which is opposed to max
ing him again a candidate.
Nobody who has watched the con-
duct of Mr.. Bryan since 1896 will seri-
ously regard assertions to the effect
that he is no longer seeking to main
tain his continuous candidacy. He is
as surely looking and working for the
nomination in 1904 as he was looking
and working for the nomination in
1900, four years ago. But he sees q
growing disposition within his party
to put him on the retired list, and it
is but natural that he seeks to fortify
himself against those who would cast
out Organism from the democracy.
Even last year, when there was no
opposition worth mentioning in the
democratic party to the nomination of
Mr.. Bryan, he had made due provision
for protection against any attempt
that might have been made to turn
him down in the national convention.

BRYAN'S FINAL EFFORT.
Indications Are That He Hopes to
become Perpetual
Candidate.

Mr.. Bryan announces that he has
he has twenty years ahead of him to
carry it on. Well, here is hoping he
has. 1t would, of course, be interest
ing to know just what this line of
work is. On this point Mr.. Bryan is
silent. In consequence the public is
sad. Yet there is the consolng privi-
lege of conjecture. Mr.. Bryan has
within the knowledge of the public
already spent some five or more years
seeking the presidency. That he has
failed in two heroic efforts does not
mean that Mr.. Bryan is discouraged.
Mr.. Bryan is of most sanguine tenn
permanent. He believes himself man
of destiny. The world knows him
man of hope. True, there are diff
ferent sorts of destiny. Some men
are destined to ascend and some to
descend. In fact, there are those who
hold to the faith that these divergent
courses are predestined to these diff
ferent men. But hope springs eter-
nal. Mr.. Bryan, despite his wasted
five or more years, Is yet a young
man. Twenty years of his future, de-
voted to pursuit of the presidency, he
will count well spent, If, at their
close, his ambition has but been real
lied. Mr.. Bryan has declared himself
not candidate! Oh, yesl But there
are no candidates, now. The season
has not opened.-Cincinnati CONNER

THE CONVENTION IN OHIO.
Everything Done Points 20 an In-
dorsement Of the Administra-
tion Policies.

Two facts of national interest were
developed by the Ohio state conven-
tion-the complete and undisputed
control of the republican party ma
chinery by Senator Hanna, and the in
evitable predominance of national is
sues in the coming campaign.
Coming so soon after the presi-
Dental election, when so many of the
questions growing out of the Span
ish-American war remain unsettled,
and taking place as it did in the
presidents own state, the election
must necessarily turn upon national
issues. The administration has en-
tered upon policies with reference to
the new insular territories which
have not yet reached their full frui-
ton. The achievements of the past
four years, as Senator Foraker said in
his speech before the convention, are
still in a large measure incomplete
and insecure. The vote in Ohio will
therefore be an Endorsement or q re-
pudiation of the administration poll
cies.
The democrats, of course, will at
tempt to divert popular attention
from these national questions to state
issues. But the denomination of
Gov. Nash, whose courageous stand
against prize fighting and other forms
of lawlessness commends his admins

to hook them, but the monsters re-
fused to look at the bats. Then
appeared on the scene an old one-eyed
Malay named REQ, who asserted he
could Kill them easily. The way he
set to work was described to me by
the natives who witnessed the opera
tions. Taking a piece of green bam-
boo about four feet in length, he split
from 1t two strips, each an inch wide.
After charring the points he sharpen
ed the ends carefully; then, by great
pressure, he coiled them up into as
small compass as possible, keeping
the whole in position by sewing the
coil up in the fresh skin of a fish
known as the isuumu--a species Of the
''leather-jacket." Next he asked to be
provided with two dogs. A couple OF
ours were soon provided, killed, and
the viscera removed. The coils OF
bamboo were then placed in the va.
cancy, and the skin of the bellies
stitched up with small wooden skew
ers. That completed the preparation
of the bats.

ly swallowed. Then the second fol.
lowed. and it was quickly seized by
the second tanifa. The sharks re-
remained cruising about for some
hours, then went of as the tide began
to fall.
On the following evening they did
not turn up, nor on the next, and the
Malay insisted that within five days
both would be dead. AS soon as the
dogs were digested, he said, the thin
fish-slSin would follow, the bamboo
coil would fly apart, and the sharpen
ed ends penetrate not only the sharks
bellies, but protrude through the
outer skin as well.
Quite a week afterwards, during
which time neither of the tanifa
had been seen, the smaller of the two
was found dead on the beach at
vailele Plantation, about four miles
from the Vaivasa. 1t was examined
by numbers of people, and presented

He had himself nominated by the
populists before the democratic con-
vention was held. and he would have
run as the populist candidate if the
democratic nomination had been given
to another.
There are doubtless good reasons
why Mr.. Bryan cannot confidently
expect to be able to use the populist
party again in 1904. One of them is
that the populists are decreasing in
number, prosperity being not at all
conductive to the spread of populistic
ideas and doctrines. Another may be
that even what may be left of the
populist party in 1904 would hardly
care to burden itself with candidate
twice defeated in his attempt to be
elected to the Office to which he still
aspires.
A new third party, with a platform
having planks fashioned to attract
radical Bryan democrats, populists.
socialists and every other class OF
erratic would-be reformers and social
revolutionists, might successfully be
used to force Mr.. Bryan for the third
time as candidate upon the demo-
cratic party. 1t could pursue the
same course which the populists pur-
sued last year, or else it could let it
be known that it would nominate Mr..
Bryan and run him as third candi-
date il the democratic convention
should nominate another, while, IL
the democratic party did nominate
him the new party would give him
its endorsement. Mr.. Bryan would
have at his command, simultaneously,
threat and inducement to influence
his party. There is no reasonable
doubt that the third-party movement
may be regarded as indirect notifica-
ton that Mr.. Bryan remains candi-
date.-Albany Journal.

A BOLD ROBBERY.

Cincinnati, June pa special to
the Commercial Tribune from Wheel
ing, w. Va, says: Early Friday
morning six masked men entered the
palatial summer residence of Jacob
L. White at Brothers Station, on the
Baltimore e. Ohio, just over the Penn
sylvania line, overpowered, bound and
gagged the seven occupants of the
house and ransacked 1t for valua bles.
They secured $1,000 in money and -
much again in jewelry. Mr.. White
and his aged wife and their daugh-
ter were tortured by having lighted
matches applied to their bodies and
their skin lacerated by needles in an
effort to make them divulge other val
uables, but without success. The vic
Tins were deserted and lay helple
for hours until Miss Sidney Mackey,
n niece, extricated herself from her
bonds and secured assistance. There
is no clew to the identity of the rob-
bers.> White is a millionaire oil op-

An Australian Fish story.

Writing from Bunbury, West Aus
tralia, to brother in London, Mr..
Reginald Shaw relates the following
amazing incident, which, he states,
happened to one of his party when
fishing from the jetty: His friend
had baited his hook with large whit
ing, hoping to catch a kingfsh, when
q shark about seven feet long swal-
lowed it! The angler gently brought
the shark to the surface of the water.
while a man working on the jetty
came to his assistance with big iron
hook, and after several Intellectual at
tempts to jab the hook into the
sharks mouth the latter got away.
On pulling up his line the fisherman
found that he had lost the whiting
bait, but had hooked two large ribs
of beef from the stomach of the
shark. Then, to the amusement Of
the crowd, one of whom remarked:
"Well, exchange is no robbery he
landed the beef safely on the jetty.--

LENGTHY CEREMONIES.
Among the Hindus IL Takes n Whole
Week to Complete the Marriage
Rite.

Oriental marriage ceremonies are
the most elaborate, and those of a
Brahmin wedding, spread over the
greater part of a week, are probably
the most complicated, says Parsons
Weekly. All the Hindu gods are in
vited, and on the first day the pair
sit under an alcove or canopy, with
their faces turned to the east, while
married women wave lighted camphor
to avert the evil eye.
On the second day the bridegroom
appears eager to make a pilgrimage
to Benares to wash in the sacred wa
tiers of the Gauges. His future father
in-law, after-much entreaty, per-
suades the would-be pilgrim to give
up the idea, and the priests profess
readiness to accept the will for the
deed, at the same time accepting a
gift of IA flags, by which the BRIDE
groom symbolizes his purity or free
dom from sin. A thread is then tied
on the mans right wrist and the
woman's left to show they are united
for life. The father-in-law now
feigns to behold in the bridegroom
the great god Vishnu himself, and
makes an offering to him. Then wa
ter is poured over the two, and the
"tali," jewel set in gold, is tied on
the brides neck, while sandal paste,
perfumes and flowers are offered to
the guests. Fire is then brought in,
and, while sacrifice is offered to
Agni, the couple walk hand in hand
seven times round it, and so make the
"seven steps"-a symbol of everlast-
ing friendship.
The next day the astrologer points
out the star Arundhati, to impress
upon the pair the duty of faithful
ness. Then they eat together, and,
having sprinlkled each other with rice.
final bridal procession takes place
at night, when friends and relations
again avert the evil eye by the cere-
mony of Arati, or waving lamp over
the heads of the newly-wed.

10 Keep III ITOn SlnklnR, anu Unen,
with 20 fathoms of brand-new whale
line attached, we let it drift out into
the center of the passage. Making
our end of the line fast to the trunk
of a cocoanut tree, we set some chill
dren to watch, and went into the
trenches to drink some kava, smoke
and gossip. We had not long to wait
barely half an hour-when we heard
a warning yell from the watchers.
The tanifa was in sight! Jumping
up, and tumbling over each other in
our eagerness, we rushed out. Alas!
we were too late; for the shark, in
stead of approaching In its usual leis-
urely manner, made q straight dart
at the bait, and before we could free
our end of the line it was as taut as
an iron bar, and the creature, with
the hook firmly fastened In his jaw,
was blowing the water into foam
amid yells of excitement from the
natives. Then suddenly the line fell
slack, and the half dozen men who
were holding 1t went over on their
backs.
In mournful silence we hauled in the
line. Then, oh, woe! the hook--our
priced, beautiful hook-was gone,
and with II two feet of the chain,
which had parted at the center swivel.
That particular tanifa was seen no
more.
Nearly two months later, two of q
much larger size appeared at the
mouth Of the Vaivasa. Several of the
white residents tried night after night
