STORIES BY BRYAN.
Told by William Jennings at a New
 York Press Club Smoker"

William Jennings Bryan, editor Of the Commoner of Nebraska, and some time Democratic candidate for Presl- dential honors, was entertained at a smoker given by the Press Club last night. In the course of a speech MT. Bryan said:
 When I was nominated in '96 Q well-known Republican said to me: If you stay at home you'll be defeated, but not disgraced. If you go out and work you'll be defeated, anyhow, but therell be more modification attached to it. Now, another Republican told me a story some time ago-I did not tell this in the campaign. (Laughter)
 "A certain man died, and, as no one could identify him, he was taken to the morgue. Well, man came up and identified the dead man as his father. An undertaken was got and arrange ments were made for a decent burial. The corpse was put into a casket and dressed. A napkin was tucked under his chin. The son arrived to take a last look at his father, and in fixing the napkin under the chin of the corpse the dead mans mouth opened and a set of false teeth fell to the floor.
 "The man who had identified the dead set up a howl that he didn't know the man now because his father never had false teeth. The corpse was thrown into a corner, and the would be claimant went over and addressed it thus: If y'd kept yer mouth closed, yer stiff, y'd a got decent burial (Laughter.)
 I've heard a great many remarks about my mouth, complimentary and otherwise. I was speaking once in a country town, and I noticed during my speech a small man sitting in front who watched me very intently. When I had finished he stalked up to me, grasped my hand, and said in loud voice:
 "Mr. Bryan, I've listened to and watched a great many speakers, but you're the only man I've heard speak where I could see his back teeth all the time.'" Cloud Laughter)

BANK STATEMENT NEARLY HARMONIOUS Reserve Requirements Were
 leSsened Very Little WEEKLY BANK ITEMS The Losses of Cash by the Banks Will Most Likely Be counterbalanced
 Later on in the Cur
 rent Week.

New York; March 29.-The New York Sfnancier says this week:
 The bank statement of last week showed gain of $1,524,0O0 In cash, instead of the Eoss of $1,314,500 which was estimated From the traceable movement of money up to Wednesday. The discrepancy may possibly be accounted for on the theory that the receipts of the banks on and after Thursday were in excess of the shipments and that the outward move ment for April settlements did not begin to be important until the close of the bank week. The loans show a decrease of $S,7s76OO, making $31,027, 600 for the three weeks since March 15, inclusive. The deposits were reduced last week ST. 300. making $4o,8134O0 in the three weeks. It is noteworthy that in this in- terval the loss in cash was only s901, 800. The statement is nearly harmonious, the net loss resulting from the decrease of loans, less the gain in cash, being only $526, 700 below the amount of the reduc- tion in deposits. The reserve require ments were lessened by s1,970, ,325, which, added to the gain in cash, made an in- crease in surplus reserve of $3, 494 325. This item now stands at $6, ,945, ,875, against S,S7O600 at the corresponding date last year. The losses of cash by the banks, which will probably result from the ship ments of money in response to the de- mand for the April settlement, will, la ter in the current week, most likely be counterbalanced by the return of this money from nearby centers after such adjustments have been affected, so that the Arrangement to the money market caused by the outflow will be temporary only

From the London Tid-Bits.
 Now, I rather pride myself on my ability to read character" said the man who was given to buying detect i've tales, "and yet why should I? It is really very simple thing-requires nothing but close observation. For instance, it is very easy to tell a mans occupation. His facial expres- sion, his actions, even his dress, are stamped by his daily work. You see that man sitting opposite us? Well l am just as sure as though he had told me that he is barber"
 You are mistaken" replied his friend. That man is a butcher"
 Impossible" exclaimed the anna teur detective. "You never saw a butcher with slim, white hands like his.'
 Perhaps not" admitted the other, but he is butcher just the same"
 How do you know he is?"
 How do I know? Why, the scoun- drel shaved me once."

MURDER OF INFANTS.
e Montgomery Advertiser.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Referring to the discoveries of the bodies of at least eight or nine murdered infants in and near Birmingham, the News remarks that the murder of so sentiment against the practice" We should hope so. The finding of one baby should have had that effect, and the dis covery of so many should arouse the sentiment which will detect and punish the criminals. No doubt it is infinitely better for the child of such parents to be dead than it should live to grow up with such an example before 1t as would be presented by a parent who would de- liberately end its brief existence, but that consideration has nothing to do with the case
 If there is one form of murder more in- famously cruel than another, 1t is taking the life of helpless babe. It comes into the world without choice or volition of it's own, and whatever may be the sins of its parents, and however irregular and unlawful may have been its beginning, 1t Is born as pure and free from sin as if it had entered the world with the blessings of the church and the shield of legal marriage. It's very helplessness should be an impenetrable armor to pro- tect 1t from harm, and ought to appeal | with irresistible force to all that Is best in human nature. We have often thought of Southey's beautiful line:
 Oh, when a mother meets on high
 The babe she lost in infancy,
 Hath she not then for pains and fears,
 The day of woe, the watchful night For all her sorrow, all her tears,
 An overpayment of delight?
 Can a woman who deliberately murders or is privy to the murder of her babe, ever hope to meet 1t in the great hereaf- ter? And if she should meet it Ion high" would she feel that "overpayment of de- light" of which Southey speaks? Would not the sight of that child so foully done to death be as horrible to her as was the ghost of murdered Banquo to conscience stricken Macbeth? And what kind of heart can the father of a child have, even if 1t be theN child of shame, to even consent to the murder of his own off, spring?
 So far as the crime itself is concerned it matters not whether these children were put out of the way to hide the sins of the parents. or to avoid the trouble of caring for them. It was murder most foul" and the people of Birmingham should not stop at an aroused public sen timent, but should set every detail of legal machinery to work to ferret out and punish the criminals so that this wholesale murder of the innocents" should cease. The authorities and the citizens owe this much to justice, to hu- manity and to their own good name
