Bryan Now Prefers Peace to Silver,

dispatch from Denver Col, last night
says: William ]. Bryan opened the demo-
cratic campaign In Colorado with a speech
at Coliseum Hall tonight. Hundreds were
unable to gain entrance to the densely-
packed hall Mr.. Bryan dwelt at length
upon what he termed the policy of militia
rism of the republican party, which, he
said. was not influenced alone by imperial
ism. for he maintained that the strengthen
ing of the army was as much for the pur-
pose of aiding capital in enforcing its de-
mands against labor as anything else. He
characterizes President Roosevelt as a dan
gerous man, because of his love of power
and warlike demonstrations, and unsuited

to be great in moral force and not in physi-
cal force.
You ask me, a believer In free silver,
how / can bring myself to support a man
who favors the gold standard? l say that
l love peace and the gospel of peace inf
nitely more than l love either gold or sill
YER
Mr.. Bryan assured his hearers that IL
Judge Parker were elected President peace
would reign in the United States during
the next four years.
Mr. Bryan spoke of the labor troubles and
consequent occurrences in this state, and
said that the eye of the country was upon
Colorado and the people were anxious to
learn the result of the vote for governor.

The Second Game.

Washington was the first TO score and by
securing two runs in the second inning got
q lead on the Athletics. Huelsman singled
and was followed by Mullin. who did like
wise. Waddell thought he could stop Huels-
man from making third, but decided not to
attempt it and threw to first. although too
late to catch Mullin. The throw was a
poor one and Huelsman scored. Mullin GO
ing TO third Cassidy flied out to Pickering
Donovan hit to RUDE. who tried to run Null
lin down between second and third. He
was unable to get his man. and as both
neared the second base they had COL
lision in which RUDE hurt his shoulder. A
wild pitch allowed Mullin to score. Kit
treige flied out to l.. Cross and Jacobsen
struck ont.
Rube then retired in favor of Bender, in
the third. but the Senators succeeded in
getting one more run. An error by L..
Cross allowed O'Neill to make first and an
other by Bender put him safely on second.
The next two men were easy outs. but a
hard single by Huelsman brought O'Neill
across the plate. Mullin ended the inning
by striking out.
The Athletics secured their first run In
the same inning. Shreck led Off with q
single and after Bender struck out made
his way to third on hits by Hartsel and
Pickering. From here he came home when
Noonan forced Pickering at second. L.

punching their hits in a form which gave
results. Ortiz pitched six full innings and
part of the seventh, when he was taken out
and Griffith replaced him. Orth was being
bumped freely, and, assisted by couple
or errors, his team lost it's lead of 2 to 0,
and the score was tied in the fifth and the
game won by Boston in the seventh. In
the second game both teams had numerous
chances to score, but failed to connect
with the sphere when hits meant scores.
Once both teams had the bases full, but
were unable to cross the rubber. In the
fourth three Boston men singled and with
no one out the fourth man struck out and
the fifth hit into double play. 1t was

INTER-CITY GOLF TOURNEY.
Washington Players Made Fine Show
ing in Opening Matches.


The annual tournament of the Maryland
and District of Columbia Golf Association
began yesterday at the Baltimore Coun-
try Club.
Close and interesting matches marked
the playing, but the condition of the
course and the strong wind prevented
good scores from being made.
Many of the putting greens were soft
and soggy from the previous nights
downpour of rain The bright sun worked
hard all day, and by afternoon, when the
telling matches of the first round of the
tournament were played, the ground was
much firmer By today it is expected that
the course will begin to get faster, and
before the week ends 1t is expected to be
the scene of exciting struggles, which
will be decided only by the keenest kind
of playing.
1t was fortunate that only two of the
thirty-four entrants had to be dropped in
the qualifying round. After the first pair
had gone over a few holes it was seen
that it would not take a very low score
to lead the list, and this fact acted as an
incentive to the players, who under Ordi-
nary conditions would not have had a
good chance to win the qualifying cup.
Tyson Ellicott won the cup for the low
est qualifying score. He went around in
"a, which was very good, considering the
condition of the course, but before the
tournament closes much better records
are expected to be made. His score by
halves follows:
Out ............ 5 4 5 Al
In .............. 8 1-43-S4
The record for the course Is seventy-two,
approached within a few strokes, if not sur
passed. before the tournament is over,

India, a symbol of a string of umbrellas was

When Buddhism got over into China, this idea
went with it, The Chinaman thought that

a building to shelter the relics, which carries out

ries each thirty feet high Though built in the
usual fashion with clay bricks, the whole was
chiefly red and yellow, but the nine curved and

godas have an odd number Of stories. They
number usually three, or five, or seven or nlne'
or thirteen as the case may be- Apparently
the majority are nine stories high. They range
in size from mere miniatures to structures more
than two hundred feet in height and having a
diameter at the base of from sixty to seventy
feet In China most of the pa9odaS are octaS-
onaI in shape and from each corner hangs a
small hell which tinkes in the passing breeze
Rarely the pagoda is square. This is the form
which has been copied by the Japanese some
of the towers are solid masonry throughout but
more frequently they consist of Two towers one
within the other. Between them a spiral stair

most of the pagodas are constructed. There is
record of one in Che-Kiang province nearly

The pagodas surmounted by kind of iron

iron rod carrying a series of iron disks,

the origin of the queer design of the pagoda the
first of which was built in China less than three
hundred years after the birth of Christ think
they are an evolution of this spire which in it
self is intended to symbolic a string of UNI

race used it. the umbrella was an important arti-

officials of certain degree of importance were
