MRS. BRYAN AND THE PARRorr.
The Bird Caused Bridget Sauce Wife
of Nebraskan.

Some well-meaning, but misguided
persons recently presented William
Jennings Bryan with a parrott, says
the Philadelphia Press. The bird, to
do it justice, was wonder, and was
not in the household of the Ne5ras-
kan for any considerable length of
time before he had acquired the trick
of mimicking to advantage the voices
of various members of the family. It's
particular speciality, however, was in
initiating the voice of Mrs. Bryan
in giving orders to the cook, and this
knacl. occasioned not little trouble
for Bridget in the kitchen.
A week or ten daysago-so runs the
story - Mrs. BRYAN was passing
through the pantry, when there sud
denly flashed upon her the memory
that she had neglected to give some
necessary orders to the competent but
somewhat irascible queen of the
kitchen.
Bridget" she called.
"Oh, shut up-will you?" came i'm.
mediate and unhesitating response.
The parrot jumped for glee, but
since then both Polly and Bridget
have left the Bryan service.

WOMEN AS WARRIORS.
CiVif War Muster Rolls Show 9
Number of Cases.

The muster rolls of the civil war
show number of cases of soldiers who
were discoveredto be women.
One of the most remarkable women
was Christian CaYenagh, who lived in
England in the nineteenth Gentry. She
was married and had three children.
Her husband was carried off to Holland
where he had to enlist as private
soldier. His wife dressed as u man
and enlisted so as to be near her hus-
band. She was wounded at the battle
French and carried to ST. Germain-en
Laye, where she remained until she
was exchanged. Then she quarreled
and fought duel whit her sergeant and
was transferred to another regiment.
Again she was wounded at Ram. lliess,
I where her secret was discovered. She
was, however, permitted to remain
with the regiment as cook.
Many English officers recall the case
of ''Dr. James Barry" This woman
served in the British army about fifty
years ago as a surgeon at the Cape, at
Malta and at Barbados At the Cape
The" fought duel with an officer who
had called :him" a woman.
Mrs. Lindley, the wife of a soldier,
went through some OF the sharpest en-
gagements of the civil war. She en-
listed in Company D, Sixth Ohio cav
airy, and fought at Fort Magruder,
Hanover Court house, Bull Run, Antie-
tam and Boonsboro. She is said to be
still living, and the mother of several
children.
Christina, the queen of Sweden, was
educated and dressed like boy from
her birth because her father was dis
appointed at not having son. She
was more a king that a queen and
after four years of rule resigned her
crown and went off to amuse herself in
Europe. She was dressed in mems
clothes and acted as uprOariously as
any man who ever owned his clothes
by right of sex. She was only twenty
eight at the time.

HANNA TO RETIRE.
Famous Republican Said to

In a letter written to close politi-

Hanna not only declares that he will
not be a candidate for presidential
nomination, but goes further.
He states in positive terms that II
he can have his own wav be will not
be a candidate to succeed himself as

TO act as chairman of the national COM
mittee after the next national conven-
ton He will remain in charge Of the

will be without his mastery leader

SOLDIERS OF WEALTH.
Americans Give Up Their Lives
i'm Columbian Revolution.

The first American casualties as a
result of the revolution have occurr-
ed. The Columbian fleet captured a
boat having on board correspondence
showing the whereabouts of two revo-
lutionary schooners loaded with pro-
visions. The government war ships
headed for that place, and on arriving
there the Bogota formerly the Jessie
Banning) manned by an American
crew, commanded by Captain Marina
duke, lowered two boats with armed
men, but as the schooner was aground
they waited until high tide to attack.
In the meanwhile the revolutionists
were discovered in ambush close to
the beach, and when the Bogota's
boats pulled ahead the second time
the sentinels opened fire on them,
killing the ships armorer, Richard
Kane, of Washington, and woundlng
George Walker, who was shot throu gh
the legs. A seaman named Clark and
Lieutenant Vasques were also wound
ed, but not seriously.
