THE BENNETT WILL.
Did Bryan Make a Promise of an Am.
bassa dorship?

Did Bryan Make a Promise of an Am
bassadorship?
Some facts in connection with the re-
cent litigation as to the bequest made
to William Jennings Bryan by the late
Philo S. Bennett of New Haven and
New York. came out to-day during a
conversation between a local citizen and
q gentleman temporarily in Hartford.
The gentleman referred to is known
to have been not only an employee of
Philo S. BENEFITS. but a man who en-
joyad mis- confidence to no small degree.
The statement made to the Hartford
man was substantially as follows:
Philo S. Bennett was man who was
loved and respected by everyone with
whom he came in contact. He was
charitable and generous, more so than
many people know, and his private
character was above reproach. He had
his faults, of course, as all men have,
and one. if such may be called fault,
was that he was not averse to ''play-
ing in the limelight." as the saying
goes.
II personally knew that he cherished
an ambition to be the representative
of the United States at some foreign
court, but his political affiliations were
such that the opportunity never pre-
scented itself. His intimacy with ex-
President Cleveland was not sufficient
to be Of benefit to him in that line.
And then William Jennings Bryan APP
peared on the horizon. Mr.. Bennett be-
came acquainted with him. and to all
appearances considered him an ideal
man and his doctrine also ideal
when Bryan went down to defeat in
1896, no more heartfelt sympathy was
expressed to him than that Of Philo S.
Bennett. Previous to the time Of the
drawing up Of the will over which
there is litigation, which was May, 1900,
know and know positively that Philo
S. Bennett was just as certain that
William j. Bryan would be elected the
following November as any man posi-
bly, could be. And now the interesting
part Of the whole affair is this, and I
say it with all due reverence to the
memory Of Philo S. Bennett. I know
that William Jennings Bryan said, not
literally, but in effect. to Mr.. Bennett:
Il am certain to be elected in No
vember, and this being so, you, Mr..
Bennett, will be ambassador to the
court of st. James,
"This. mind you, was in the early
spring of 1900 and the will was drawn in
May, 1900. Hartford Post.

POTTS Thea,er.

With Hal Stephens and his artistic imi-
tations as headline feature, the feature act
at Polls is scoring tremendously this
week: Stephens presents most novel en-
tertainment and in the course of which he
presents Richard Mansfield and John l.,
Sullivan, the Russell Brothers, and Lew
Dockstader. The finale of his act, how
ever. is what is calling forth enthusiastic
outbursts of applause on the part of the
patrons. The four scenes from the play
Rip Van Wrinkle, with Joe Jefferson in the
title role, is production that won great
favor last night.
Burke and La Rue and their inky boys
are one of the big hits of this weeks bill
The boys are lively, know how to sing and
the act is full of vim and dash.
The Five Juggling Johnsons have a good
feature act with their juggling feats and In
dian club swinging. Rice and Cady as the
German comedians, were exceptionally
good. Pierce and Malice with their refined
song and dance, James and Bonnie Farley
with a sketch, "Fhe Messenger Boy" and
Reata Winfield with her violin speciality,
and George Ali and his street arabs, COM
pose the bill, with a special series of pic
lures in the electrograph of thirty thousand
children enjoying themselves in Central
Park, New York city. Other views are
shown.
Prices, evenings 10, 20 and 80 cents; af-
ternoons 10 and 20 cents; ladies at matinees
10 cents; box seats so cents.

GASOLINE AND ITS DANGERS.

First-Keep it in well ventilated
cool place, inaccessible to children
never in any part of dwelling.
Second-No Enclosed vessel, as
pitcher, basin, or cup, containing gaso-
line should be carried or placed Wlthln
ten feet of a burning stove, lamp gas
or flame of any kind, nor left standing
in any room within dwelling mousse
Third-Gasoline should never be
poured from one vessel to another III
anv room in which there Is nghted
lamp or a burning gas jet, an open
crate burning, or within ten feet or
stove in which there is t1re' as tne
current of air in room Is always TO-
ward a fire or burning lamp, and the
vanor of gasoline will be carried IN
that direction and will ignite at long
distance.
Fourth-It is dangerous to fill the re-
seryoir of stove when the burner is
lighted, or near another stove IN when
fire il burning. When not In use,
close the cutoff between the reservoir
and burner, This will prevent over
flow from defect or leakage at the
burner. If there be an overflow OF
gasoline when filling the reservoir OF
from the burner, wipe it carefully III
before lighting the burner. II thu

a EXTRAORDINARY was the feat
Ia accomplished not long ago by
%~S Vienna wood turner named An
ton Hanslian! For a prize Of $4,000,
offered by wealthy sportsman' he
wheeled his wife and little daughter
through the length and breadth Of Eu-
rope in a perambulator, taking not
penny with him and earning his living
en- route. Hanslian covered nearly To-
600 miles in twenty-five months and
met with many hardships.
The condition of winning the money
was that he should traverse the whole
| Of Europe-that is to say, all the i'm
portant countries and towns-with1n
two years, making the journey entirely
on foot, and pushing the perambulator
containing his wife and daughter in
front Of him. Other conditions were
that he should start on the journey
without penny in his pocket, and that
he should prove that he had traversed
the prescribed route by sending post
cards from each place he visited ant
by obtaining certificates from ioca
officials.
Hanslian left Vienna on Septembe
IL, 1900, and arrived home again OF
July 10, 1902, and as during the inter
vening twenty-five months ne had ira
versed the whole Of the route pre-
