A FALSE PROPHETS END.
Political Dishonesty of Bryan Now
No Longer n Matter of
Doubt.

Col. Bryan seems to have finally
abandoned his pet silver issue, for in
a late interview he Is reported as say
Ing that 'it matters not whether we
have more silver than gold or more
gold than silver, but we must have
money enough to meet the demands
of an unrestricted commerce." APP
parently he comedies that there is
enough now. At any rate, at the close
of 1900, including the money in the
United States treasury, there was
$30.66 per capita, as against $26.91 in
1890 and $1s.5S in 1878, when silver was
at premium in gold and the "crime
of 1873" was committed. The explana-
ton, of course, is very simple one,
and familiar to everybody. The an
nual product of goldis now larger than
the combined product of silver and
gold prior to 1890, and the resulting
coin is abundant for the necessities of
commerce. There are no means that
we know of to determine the amount
of actual money used per $1,000 OF
"cash" transactions, but everyone
knows that the use of checks is in
creasing so rapidly, even in country
districts, that the demands of COM
merce, as expressed by the ratio Of
money really used to money nominally
used, must be rapidly decreasing.
There could be no fault found with
even this late conversion of Mr.. Bryan
did it not prove two things. First, his
political dishonesty in clamoring for
the free silver plank in 1900, and, Sec
ond, his determination that there shall
be no reconciliation of the wings Of
the democratic party, except on terms
dictated by himself and involving his
retention in Office as party dictator.
| Nothing has taken place since last No
vember to change the silver situation
or throw more light upon it. It was
| plain before election that he had ceased
to believe in the free silver dogma, and
| yet would not acknowledge his CONVEX
| sion. His present utterances afford
positive proof that the last year or two
| Of his silver campaign was an attempt
to deceive the people, not only as to
their interests, but as to his belief.
|
not of itself prove that he is deter
mined to rule or ruin his party, but,
| taken in connection with his other ut
terances and his well-known attitul1
| toward other democratic leaders, ii
shows that he has determinedto aban.
| don the free silver issue, but to substi-
tute in it's place all the odds and ends
of communism and anarchy which can
be picked out of the platforms of 1896
and 1900. and upon that basis gather
the largest following which he can Sc
cure from the democratic party or else
where. 1t is now hard to see how there
can be any other outcome than the
formal reputation of Bryan by the
democrats and his disappearance from
politics, except as minor political and
social agitator.-San Francisco Chroa.

Denver, Dec. IA Mosca, Costilla
county, special Of yesterday to the
Denver Republican,, says:
At mass meeting held here this af-
ternoon, the committee appointed to
ascertain the probable acreage that
could be offered as an inducement to
capitalists to erect beet sugar fac
tory here made its report showing
that 5000 acres had already been
promised. Members of the committee
expressed every assurance that they
would be in position within the com
ing week to offer 6O0O acres and Il
site as an inducement for the immedi-
ate erection of Il beet sugar plant at
this place. The subscribers agree to
plant the stated acreage in the spring
of 1902, provided arrangements can be
made for the erection of Il factory in
time to receive the crop.
The committee now will invite cor
respondencc and set to work at once
to secure an assurance from some re-
liable source that Il factory will be
built here in time to care for next sea-

CONFIRMS THE SUCCESS
OF MARCONI'S TESTS.

London, Dec. 15.-Major Flood Page.
of the Marcon Wireless Telegraph
Company. in an interview confirms the
report that Mr.. Marconi, mt ST. Johns.
Newfoundland. has received signals
from the experimental station at Pold-
hu. PenZance. Major Flood-Page said
that the severe weather made continu-
Gus tests very difficult, but that there
was no doubt that the wireless signals
had been successfully transmitted
across the Atlantic.
Before starting for Newfoundland
Mr.. Marconi established his station at
Poldhu and arranged for the repetition
at certain times of alphabetical sig
nails. 1t is unknown here to what eX-
tent his experiments have succeeded.
but 1t is evident from Il cable received
that Mr.. Mnrconi considers he has sur
mounted the initial difficulty and that
wireless telegraphy thus becomes a
real and live factor of the commercial
life of the world.
At the Marconi station at Poldhu a
great circle of twenty poles has been
set up. each one of which is $50 feet
high and bears an aerial wire. PrOvi-
sion has been made for unusually pow
erful currents from these poles and at
prearranged times and intervals con-
tinuous signals have been sent from
them.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING.

The best way to advertise is Just tt
advertise. Get at it with view to hav.
Ing the people know what you mos
desire to sell, and incidentally letting
them know that the specified items dc
not represent your full stock. Say in.
teresting things about Interesting goods
and have the goods to talk.
Men talk of the secret of successful
advertising, but it is all very plain. The
essentials are to offer what people
want, at fair prices, and to offer it In
way that will make readers know
they want it. The art in writing an
advertisement is to speak as the inter.
ested and well-informed merchant
would speak to prospective customer.
The mere appearance of a business
mans name and address in every issue
of leading newspaper will do work to
increase his trade. Every business man.
however, is able to give facts about his
establishment which will encourage
people to deal with him. To state such
facts clearly in newspaper is the prin-
cipal secret of successful advertising.
lHe iueh Iilot IL tdheS d NUMBER OF
impressions to make the average ad-
vertisement effective is not new. Forty
years ago an English advertiser said
to the publisher of the Cornhill Maya
zine: I'VE don't consider that an ad-
vertisement seen for the first time by
reader is worth much. The second
time it counts for something. The third
time the readers attention is arrested.
the fourth time he reads it through and
thinks about it; the fifth makes a DUR
chaser of him. 1t takes time to soak
in."

Professor Eric Doolittle of the Uni

public lecture on 'DOuble Star AStrOn-

The moon would be the same minia-

star would be represented by another
large globe placed 5000 miles away.

ROCKVILLE AND VICINITY.

'ecial Correspondence OF The Evening Star.


ROCKVILLE, Md, March 20, 1901
1t is stated that the republicans Of tins
county propose to leave no stone unturn-
ed to prevent, as far as possible, the dis
reimbursement Of the illiterates in their
party by the election law as amended at
the extra session of the legislature AL
ready schools have been organized at Rock
vile, Gaithersburg, Cabin John and Ger
mantown, and others will be started with
out delay in all sections of the county. The
principal object of these schools will be to
teach the illiterates to distinguish between
the words democrat and republican" >"
which words will appear on the official bal
lots to designate the political parties of the
various candidates.
The requirements for registration will be
the same as heretofore, and every person
whose name appears on the. registration
books may try to vote The republicans
believe that it will not be a very difficult
matter to teach illiterates to become famil-
lar with the appearance of the word Re
publican, and then to teach him to
make cross mark opposite. Those who
are attending the schools now in operation
are said to be learning rapidly, and the re-
puplcan leaders are encouraged TO believe
that, after all, the effect of the change in
the law, so far as diSfranchisement is con-
cerned will not be serious to their party.

Williams informed Patterson, when the
latter reached home from his place of en-
ployment; and he added Il believe she's
dead
Patterson went upstairs to the room I'm
which the crime had been committed. He
felt the womans pulse, concluded she was
dead and then went downstairs to his room
and retired. After spending a restless
night Williams went to the house of doc

man to go for an undertaken when he said
the woman was dead. Undertaken George
BetterS was seen, and upon lea aning the
woman had not been attended by a doctor
he advised Williams to report the case to
the police in order that the coroner might
be summoned to give the necessary death
certificate.
1t was upon the advice of the under
taker that Williams finally reached the
police station and reported the sudden
death Of Mrs. Brown. The detectives Wis
tied the station about . o'clock in the af-

told all he knew Of the case. 1t deyeI-
oped that Mrs. Brown life was insured

inferred that this fact had something TO
do with the murder. Williams is the only
one able to give the facts connected with
the killing. and the officers have no way of
