LADIES GET HALF RATES.

The ladies i'll all the cities of the
Cotton States League will be given
chance the coming season to see all
ball games at half price. The xper-
iment is to be tried of admitting
feminity free Of charge to the grounds
at Vicksburg and for Abundance to
the grand stand they may be charged
only 25 cents, the visiting clubs to
get none of this amount. The matter
of ladies days will be optional with
each club, and in some of the cities
there will probably be one free day
per week.
1t is thought the reduced rates will
materially increase the attendance Of
| the ladies. Last season in Natchez
Manager Haupt made success in this
respect, charging the ladies only hall
Iprice through the season. This caused
large numbers of the fair ones to at
tend the games; in fact, toward the
close of the pennant race, there Were
more women than men present.

When this letter is read the 57th
congress will have ceased to exist, and
will have passed into history. 1t will
go out without single sigh of regret
from any man in the country with
the exception Of few who failed of
/ reelection. 1t has done many things
that will stills stronger fasten the
shackles of taxation on the willing
wrists of the people, it has been
shamefully extravagant with t h e
money of the people, it has failed to
keep any Of its promises in its plat
forms, it fairly reeks with rottenness,
hypocrisy, false pretense and broken
pledges 1t has done only one thing
that comends itself to the people, and
that is the killing of the ship subsidy
steal, and result never would have
been accomplished had it not been for
the most earnest and strenuous oppo-
istion of the united Democracy. The
people of the country may thank the
Democrats of congress for saving them
ninety millions of dollars yea, that
otherwise would have gone into the
pc ckets of a few ship builders and
81 i } owners such as J. Pierpont Nor
gan and others. The death of tie
57th congress is a good radiance OF
bad rubbish.

BRYAN CLINGs TO SILVER.
His European Trip Has Not Shaker
His Convictions

cablegram from London last night saws:
Mr.. Bryan said to the Associated Press
tonight that he had found his European trip
extremely interesting and instructive Asked
whether his study of the financial condi-
tons abroad had resulted in any change in
his views on the silver question, he replied:
Not the slightest"
Mr.. Bryan regretted that lack Of time had
prevented him from making more extensive
investigations of the social and industrial
conditions which obtained in the countries
through which he had passed. He had been
received everywhere with the greatest cour-
tesy, he said and every facility had been
extended him for Investigations along these
lines.
Asked concerning the possibilities of the
democratic nomination for the presidency
Mr.. Bryan said that he was compelled to
decline to discuss that matter in any way,
because of the possible misinterpretation to
which his views might be subjected in the
United States.
Mr.. Bryan sailed from Liverpool today for
New York on the White Stare line steamer
