BRYAh'S LETTER
TO CHAIRMAN OF THE DEMO.
CRATIC STATE COMMITTEE.
WHY HE is FOR JUDGE
PARKER.

Louis N. Ley, of Canton, secretary
Of the Democratic executive commit
tee, has received a copy of a letter
written by William Jennings Bryan
to State Chairman Harvey c. CARRIER,
giving the views of the great Nebras'
kan on the political situation. The
letter will appeal to the silver element
in the Democratic party in Stark
county. II is as follows:
Lincoln, Neb, October 8, 1904.
Hon. Harvey G.. CARRIER, Chairman
Democratic State Committee, Co,
lumbus, Ohio.
My dear Mr.. Garber:-1 am glad
to know that the State Committee
has the campaign work so well in
hand II could spare the time
would be glad to visit the state, es.
pecially the districts which contain a
large number of the silver Democrats
would be glad to personally urge
them to support the Democratic cleo
tors and the Democratic congress.
men.
While Judge Parker announces him
self as unqualifedly in favor of the
gold standard, he is no more objec-
tionable upon this question than Pres
ident Roosevelt, and he does stand
for many things in which the silver
Democrats are interested.
In 1900 our platform declared the
question of Imperialism to be para.
mount, and l believe that our party
did right in so doing. The platform
at st. Louis took strong ground
against Imperialism and Judge Parker
has expressed himself emphatically
in favor of giving the Filipinos inde-
pendence. He is also in favor of re-
ducing the army, which has been in
creased under Republican rule, and
his election would remove the race
question and substitute a peaceful
spirit for the warlike spirit that now
pervades the White House. The cleo
tion of Parker and Davis would re-
move from the arena of politics the
questions which stand in the way of
the consideration of economic ques-
tons, and for this reason l believe
that every Democrat who supported
the ticket in 1896 and 1900 should in
terest himself in the success of the
ticket this year.
When the election Is over I want
us to renew the fight for economic
reform, and believe that we will
be in better position to do this with
Judge Parker elected than with Pres
dent Roosevelt again at the head Of
the nation. 1t is also important to
secure Congress, for without the
House of Representatives the Presi.
dent could not carry out his policies
Yours truly,
w. J. BRYAN.

Jury to Decide Amss's Fate.

Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 19.-The
fate Of DR.. A. Ames, four times mayor
Of Minneapolis, who since his last ad-
ministration has now been tried three
times on bribery charges is now again
in the hands Of jury. Opinions as TO
what the verdict will be are equally
divided throughout Minneapolis but all,
including the attorneys, admit that the
present trial on the charge Of taking a
bribe OF $40 from Mrs. Bessie Lee has
been stronger against him than the two
previous ones.

DAVIS IS BUSY ON
 COMING ADDRESS
WILL SPEND TIME AT BEDFORD SPRINGS QUIETLY-HE TAKES HORSEBACK RIDE EVERY NORM ING FOR EXERCISE.

Bedford, Pa, July 22-Senator Davis since his arrival at the Bedford Springs hotel last night has been busy preparing his notification address, and has refused to give correspondents of the press a copy, saying that he had not come to Bedford Springs to talk or write politics, but to rest
 Senator Davis has not yet decided when or where he will receive his notification, but 1t will be either at White Sulphur Springs or EIkins, w. Va.
 MT. Davis has been in the habit of spending several weeks at this resort each summer, and he will not change his time honored custom this year. He has had several of his turnouts brought here, and expects to do a great deal of riding and driving. He Is very fond or horseback riding and heretofore while here has taken his ride every morning.
 When Senator Davis arrived at the Bee- Springs hotel last night after greeting his friends he walked to the lobby as briskly as a man of forty. He Is the picture of health, and one who does not know him would mistake him for a man of but little more than half his age.
 Other prominent democrats here are Col George Gray of Wilmington, Del, Hugh M. North of Columbia, Pa. A. J. Spang- Ter of Belefonte, member of the state executive committee Mayor Vance Me- Cormick of Harrisburg and others.
 Colonel Guffy inclines to the opinion that Taggart of Indiana will be the nat ional chairman chosen when the commit tee meets at New York next Tuesday. A reception was rendered Senator Davis by the guests of the Bedford Springs hotel and townspeople tonight

GREAT CAVERN,
Which Rivals the Mammoth Cave, Is
 Discovered In Nevada.

Salt Lake Cor. San Francisco Call
 A vast underground cavern, in places seemingly bottomless and of unknown ex- tent, has been discovered near Cane Springs. about sixty-fve miles west1 5f Calientes, New, on the line of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake rail- road. The cave is now being thoroughly explored by members of the dailroad and engineering crew, who learneo of 1t through an old resident of the sparsely settled district.
 The cavern bids fair to become one of the most celebrated of the natural won ders of the west and a rival of the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky. Exploring parties have been able to penetrate to a distance of over 2.000 yeet, progress at this point being stopped by an abyss so deep that stones thrown from the brink gave back no sound of striking bottom.
 D. o. Wattis of Ogden, Utah. one of a party that first investigated the natural wonder, announces that a systematic ex- ploration Is in contemplation. He, in company with several railroad contrac- tors, recently penetrated to a great depth the mysteries of the hitherto scarcely known cavern. According to him, the cave is filled with beautiful crystallized chambers, many of them of great size and height.
 'The cave Is filled with natural arches. :" he said, and supported by staIactte col umns, the beauty of which is marvellous. From the floor great stalagmites push up and branch toward the dome-like ceilings, in the shape of trees.
 The cave IS possibly the outlet of one of the lost rivers which abound in the section of Nevada.

LIFE IN THE STOKEHOLE
 HARD FOR THE BEGINNER

he goes to sea. well prepared fireman Is a man of vast knowledge concerning fires. boilers and engines, and nowadays he is expected to have lowing acquain- tance with electricity. Most firemen in the course of time pick up much know ledge about boilers, and some of them be- come expert engineers. In the early dayb of steam navigation firemans opportu- nity for advancement was practically wanting. Now 1t is entirely different. Not only may a fireman's ability obtain for him any one of a number of petty of fices in his own branch. but he actually enjoys all the chances of promotion that are open to any other enlisted man in the navy. There are easesi on record in the British navy of men who have risen from the stokehole to be comman- ders Of the vessel.
 Besides his pay of $S5 a month, the fireman of q United. States ship of war is entitled to all the outfit and rations of the seaman gunner of the same grade. He is provided with an ample supply of clothing and is allowed a ration of 30 cents a day during his enlistment. If he serves thirty years he is pensioneu and gwen three-fourths of the highest pay he ever received In spite of the hardship attendant upon the calling, there is no lack of candidates. It is possible that this is due in a measure to the fact that the physical requirements are not so rigidly insisted upon as In the case of the naval seaman.

A Good Servant.

From the Cincinnati Inquirer.

 q used to know an aged man servant whose heart was singularily kind Tn him the quality of compassion, of sympathy. of pity, was brought to nearly perfect development.
 "This man was driving his master and me through the country on a certain win ter day.
 "As we approached a new home that the master was building we saw an aged and bent woman peep forth at us from an unfinished window. She recognized us. and In shame-faced way went slinlxinp off She had been taking a little wood There was bundle of wood under her old shawl.
 "The master tugged excitedly at his ser wants sleeve.
 'Jabez Jahez,' he cried. "do vou soc that old woman taking my wood?'

FAVORABLE FALL
 TRADE EXPECTED Pig Iron Prices Are Firmer in COTTON TRADE UNSETTLED Railway Earnings VIII Probably Show the Heaviest Volume of Gross
 and Net Ever Re-
 corded.
COTTON TRADE UNSETTLED

New York. July 2.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Good progress by most crops strengthens belief in favorable fall trade following the present season of comparative quiet and inactivity. Among the industrials, quietness and even dullness Is still the feature, but rather more Is doing in the leather trade, foreshadowing later de- velopments in the shoe business and the production of iron and steel Is being steadily curtailed with a resulting hrmer tone to pig iron prices. Several basic in- dustries will show little tendency to re- vive still. Notably among these Is soft coaling mining, which Is very much de- pressed. and it Is to be noted that de- mand for anthracite coal Is not so active l as heretofore. The cotton goods industry, unsettled for more than a year past by cratic price movements and short time, 1 now faces another disturbance in the threatening strike of Fall River print cloth hands.
 Railway earnings finished the fiscal year much better than earlier expected, and 1t Is probable they will show the heaviest volume Of gross and net over re- corded.
 Warm weather helped retail trade as whole

puN,s REVIEW.

New York July 22.-R. C. Dun & Co., s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say;
 Encouraging factors predominate. Lit- tie definite increase is seen In the distri- button of merchandise, but developments of the past wee promise better things in the near future. The most important in fuence for good Is the brighter crop pros pect. For the present the best news comes from the large cities where warm weather has stimulated retail trade in light weight fabrics and jobbers report that orders from agricultural communities are much better than from manufactur- ing centers. There are still many com plaints of slow collections.
 In the principal manufacturing branches there is still much idle machinery, es- pecially at cotton mills and iron plants, while most window glass producers will not resume until September Reports of railway earnings for July so. far show only the small losses of l5 per cent, as compared with the same period last year.
 It is gratifying to note in deespatches from iron and steel-making centers that the decline has ceased, and eonsume% are making frequent inquiries, which promise the result of considerable lm- provement Tn so far as actual con- tracts are concerned, the past week was probably the dullest thus far this year. yet the tome appears to be distinctly bet ter Moderate contracts for railway bridges and other structural work are be- ing placed, but merchant steel and kin dred lines are very quiet.
 In the textile markets the most import ant event Is the decision of operatives at Fall River to go on strike next Monday against the reduction of 21a per cent in wages. Considering the fact that there Is 1 little demand, and stocks of goods are ample for current need, it is probbale that the trade will not seriously be affected. In the woolen goods division, the chief feature was the opening of new lines of mems wear at moderate advances. fully 1 justified by the higher position of the raw material Demand proved fairly good at the new quotations and further ad- vances are anticipated.
 | Footwear factories in New England are busy on contracts for fall delivery and there is a brisk demand for heavy lines. | Hides were strengthened by the packing house difficulty, particularly July saltlng of which the supply Is small. Failures of the week number 2i3 In the United States. against 19l last year, and two in Canada against nineteen year ago.
