/ ance, and not have 1t Incorporated In
the official copy of his utterances sent
to the press associations? This Is the
question that set tongues wagging
| around the Hoffman House and the
| Fifth Avenue Hotel last night. Those
who noticed the candidate. in deliv-
ering his speech. stop long enough to
make an Interpolation on the gold
standard, searched In vain In the so
called Official record OF his speech
for what he lnterpolated What he In
terpolated not only is likely to set the
| Bryan men by the ears. but 1t puts ex-
Senator Hin in n peculiar light. Here
is what Judge Parker interpoiated. ac-
cording TO several newspaper men
who stood within six feet Of him and
took notes of what he said

money standard"
Mr.. Parker. on his own declaration.
| voted twice for free silver. and ID. B.
| Hill. one OF his most Intimate friends.
when asked In the committee on reso-
| lutions At the St Louis convention by
| w. J. Bryan with reference to Par
| ker's Views, said that he did not know
what Parker's views on the money
| question were Now the question na-
turally arises, If, ms he says, he want
ed his position on the gold question
thoroughly understood, why did he not
have his Interpolation sent out in tho
| Official copy of his remarks? There
| can be no doubt whatever that the
| Judge uttered the sentence attributed
to him. He was reported In three
or four evening newspapers on We'd
| nesday as making the Interpolation.
there being Just enough variation In
the several reports to make the proof
absolute that he indulged In this ex-
traordinnry emphasis with reference
to the gold standard. A Tribune re-
porter yesterday talked with three OF
the gentlemen who stood near Judge
| mark quoted Naturally the Repub-
lican politicians don't propose to al
| low n single shnfiiling OF that sort to
go unchalengcd. They see strong
probability that Parker's ultra gold
| standard views will be worked over
time In Wall street when subscrip-
tions are asked for, while at the same
time the "expurgated" version of his
views on the gold standard as set
forth In his set speech and circulated.
Will he used where the silver senti-
ment is strong in the Democratic or
ganization.
CHICAGO. Aug. l9.-In beauty
| contest In South Chicago a man has
taken second prize for the greatest
personal beauty. He is said to be the
''loveliest thing ever" and many OF
the women who were present Insist
that the first prize should have been
his. Six women judges and three men
| decided that Peter McManee was the
one peach" among the crowd. and the
| prize was awarded him with much
| ceremony. After the decision he was
| literally set upon by two hundred
l
osculatory demonstration which he ap-
peared to be thoroughly enjoying.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.-An ex-
pected application from Postmaster
| Mckay of Des Moines to be allowed
| to employ women as mall carriers and
| the fact that the regulations require
these servants Of the government to
wear trousers have put the offictals
Of the postofice department In
quandry
Sentiment in the department Is
strongly against allowing the use Of
women carriers, but careful search OF
the regulations recently made reveals
the fact that there Is nothing there TO
prohibit them except that according to
the regulations they would have to
wear mems apparel If employed.
This section is plain and unmistaka-
BILE in It's intention to apply to men
only, and refers without reserve to
pants, vest and coat" THE exam
ination and physical qualifications
also might prove stumbling block
for the ladies'" said an Official. THE
applicants are all put through a very
|
strength, one OF the qualifications be-
ing the ability to hop a certain dis.
tance from the floor on one foot twelve
times without touching the other foot
to the ground. While the gentler sex
are not specifically barred. | am very
much agraid they will not do"
