VIM. JENNINGS BRYAN
Has Quite Little Reception on Visit
ing the Capitol.

Washington, March 13.-William Jen-
nings Bryan arrived in Washington,
Thursday, from New York, en- route to
Harrisburg, Pa. The Fusion members
of the Nebraska delegation in Congress
took breakfast with him and later he
visited the Capitol. At the Capitol Mr..
Bryan appeared in the members CORR
dor of the House and Immediately was
surrounded by a large crowd of repre-
scntatives who gave him a hearty well
come. For some time he held an in
formal levee, most of the Democrats
and quite number of Republican
members being presented to him.
The formal reception to Mr.. Bryan
lasted some time and during it's con-
tinuance Speaker Henderson came
from his private office and Representa-
tive Littlefield of Maine, temporarily
vacated the chair of the House, in COM
mittee of the whole, in order to join in
the greeting. When Representative
Grosvenor of Ohio, shook hands with
the Nebraska man, there was exchange
of good natured bandiage about Presi-
Dental candacies. Mr.. Bryan lunched
at the House wing.
Later III the day MI. Bryan pau Il
visit to the Senate wing. He was en-
tertained there in the marble reception
room and met most of the Democratic
and many of the Republican senators.
His conferences with them were gen.
orally brief and were devoted as a rule
simply to an exchange Of social greet
ings.
Mr.. Bryan said that his visit to the
Capitol was without political signiti-
canoe.
Mr.. Bryan left the city, this after
noon for Culpepper, Va, where he
made an address, tonight. He will re-
turn to Washington, tomorrow.
The Post will say, tomorrow, that the
chief matter Mr.. Bryan discussed with
the Democratic senators was the reso-
luton proposing constitutional
amendment for the election of sena-
tors by direct vote of the people. Mr..
Bryan urged Democratic senators to
use their best endeavors to force an
early vote on the resolution by the
committee, which now has it in charge
and that an issue be made on it.

A CONTRARY EFFECT
From What Is Decided Results from
Government Purchasing Bonds.

Washington, March 13.-Secretary
Shaw has under consideration the
question of disseminating the purchase
of government bonds for the sinking
fund. The secretary has not definitely
decided what he will do, nor Ii he Will
ing to discuss the matter for public
cation, but it is known that he IL DONG
nothing to encourage holders of bonds
to dispose of them to the government
and in fact rather discourages sales
The present high price of bonds is an
inducement for banks to sell those
which they have on deposit with the
government and reduce their circula-
ton.
This, the secretary thinks, is to be
regretted, and few days ago he an
nounced that banks whichreduced their
circulation thus would not be appointed
public depositaries. The fact that the
government is in the market stimulates
the price of bonds so that the effect
is just contrary to what is desired.

The day along the water front and in
the wholesale district was fully as
quiet as yesterday. The thousands of
strikers. dressed in their Sunday attire.
lined the sidewalks or promenaded the
roadways. deserted of vehicular traffic.
In short. an observer who was in igno-
rance of the true state of things would
have thought the occasion a holiday
and the crowds awaiting for process
sion to come along. Perfect order was
maintained along miles of streets and
docks and even discussions of the one
absorbing topic were avoided.
An official estimate, based on reports
of individual unions, showed that 49,
1856 men had struck. yet the police force
had an easier time, man for man. than
on an ordinary working day. 1t is es-
timated that 10000 men in addition to
those belonging to the union were in
idleness as direct result of the
strikes but there were no demonstra-
tions of anger. In three days only one
striker was arrested for an overt act

The failure of the Cottage Hill School to open made it difficult to estimate the to- tai of last years enrolment as compared with the enrolment of this year. but it is thought that the opening of this school will make the increase greater.
 The Girls High School opened with l6O pupils, an increase over the attendance of last year. Besides these young ladies. tWenty-two are being examined for ad- rnttance into the school.
 Forty boys were admitted to the Boys High School and several others are standing the examina tions. The attend

 Active work in all schools will begin today, classes will be formed and by the end of the week, the school system will be completely organized
 Professor Floyd said yesterday that the Cottage Hill School might not be ready for occupancy Monday. as was expected. The contractors have met several draw backs finishing the work and do not ex- pect to have the school building ready Monday. It is their opinion, however, that the school building will be ready later in the week.
 It was announced yesterday that Prof. Leon George, instructor in drawing and writing, will begin teaching a normal class in these branches on Saturdays or each week.
 Professor George covers every school. and while he personally superintends the general work of the pupils. it is a great assistance to him to have the pupils re- ceive the personal instruction Of their teachers. The normal class will be com posed of every teacher in the school sys- tenn and the work will continue through out the year.

 What on earth are you trying to do, Jim?"
 The man to whom the question was ad- dressed was standing in the center of the gymnasium, clad in the scanty apparel affected by athletes when at work. His heels were close together, his arms were equally close to his sides, the palms of his hands facing backward. Without re- plying, he slowly raised his hands up- ward and forward until they were on parallel lines and at full length above his head. Then he lifted himself till he stood on the tips of his toes. holding his breath the while. Just as slowly and de- liberatoly he resumed his original posi- tion. and as he did so he replied to the question.
 T am learning to breathe" said he.
 ''Learning to breathe? Why. thought that everybody did that during the first few seconds of existence"
 Not by any mems, my boy, as you will find out if you go into training unde. the instruction of A competent teacher. Not one man in a hundred knows how to breathe properly-that is, to fill the lungs to their utmost capacity and at the same time control the muscles so as to make 1t easy to do.

 And he went on witf his work. while his friend made mental resolution to give it a trial.
