The high waters, owing to the
rains and melting SHOWS of the past
week, have caused untold damage
and loss of business all over the
country. Many railroads have been
hung up and blockaded with trestles
and bridges washed out and track
under water for miles. Mails, pass
engers, express, freight and trade
and traffic generally delayed and
shifted way around wherever pos
sible. Whole towns, streets and
suburbs of cities along the river
courses inundated, and people com
PEELED to move out.

The Bryan lecture at Morgantown
last Saturday night drew such crowds
that arrangements had to be made
for two lectures. When the tickets
were placed on sale there was such
rush that over a thousand were
sold the first evening, and in a day
or two, more had been sold than
could get in the Commencement H all
of the University, as large as it is.
So arrangements were made to have
the same lecture delivered Saturday
afternoon, and in this way all were
accommodated, although it was hard
on the speaker, but Bryan can stand
anything now, and has already
made more speeches than any man
living, although only AZ years
of age.

Prince Henry of Prussia, visited
Washington on Monday and re-
turned to the city this morning. He
was present in the Senate when
Senator Bailey was making the i'm
FASHIONED appeal above referred to
and appeared to take a great inter.
est in the proceedings. So intense
was the feeling in the Senate that
the informal reception that had
been planned was dispensed with.
The Prince viewed the House of
Representatives from the diplomatic
gallery and then received most of
the members in the room of the
Ways and Means Committee. To
day he will be present at the joint
session when Secretary Hay will
pronounce the eulogy on President
Mckinley and will then go to Mount
Vernon to visit Washington's home
and last resting place.

if he don't have a bad bilious
attack and chronic indigestion,
coupled with insomnia and nervous
prostration, when he gets away

he has an iron constitution and a

the idealistic coterie which many

intellectual standpoint that socialistlc
experiment was on a higher plane
than any other known to history.
Among the noted persons connected
with it we're Nathaniel Hawthorne,
Charles A. Dana, Ralph Waldo Emer-

George William Curtis, Russell Low
ell. John Greenleaf Whittier, WeLt-
worth Higginson and many others.
Not all of them lived at the farm, but
they helped it with either pen, purse
