hence there is dullness In the cam

STRANGERS
Were Not On to the Actions of the
Horse.

Much amusement was caused in
Tenth street yesterday by two strang-
ers trying to catch the horse which
daily goes alone two and from work
and usually uses Tenth street. The
horse is we'll known to residents of
Richmond as each morning he goes
north on Tenth street, makes the
round trip at noon and comes home
again at night He is always fully
harnessed and no one ever accom-
panies him. Yesterday two strang-
ers saw the horse and thinking that
it had broken loose from somewhere
they endeavored to catch it. Mr..
Horse was like a number Of human
beings who persist in stealing his
kind, he would not be caught. The
strangers tried hard for about fifteen
minutes to catch the horse and then
gave it up in disgust. After allud-
ing his would-be captors for some
time the horse went up the street and
then calmly turned around as if to
give them the merry ha! ha! The
actions and habits of the horse were
then explained to the two strangers
and they readily, admitted that the
Joke was on them.

NURSING MOTHERS

A richer milk than milk
is good food for nursing
mothers. SCOTS Emulsion is
the rich cream of cod liver
oil, and contains ten times as
much cream as milk does. MS.
The nursing mother must
eat with the purpose of pro-
duclng good, nourishing milk
for her baby. A little SCOTS
Emulsion is often a very wise
addition to her daily diet. IF
through nervousness or weak
ness her milk is a failure.
SCOTS Emulsion will help
make it a success.
The baby gets the benefit,
too, when the mother takes
SCOTS Emulsion. The same
remedy brings new strength
and nourishment to both.

BRYAN STORY
Related by Travelling Man in Lo.
cal Restaurant.

A travehnlggsalesman at lunch in a
Richmond restaurant yesterday told
of an incident that happened in his
personal experience during the cam
paign of 1896. 'r.+ s<- =
81 was a member and officer of a
Democratic campaign club at my
home in Illinois, he said, "and we
very much desired to secure the serv-
ices of our popular candidate for
president, w. J. Bryan, to speak for
the cause in our town. We solicited
him and his secretary replied in due
time that the term for night
speech by Mr.. Bryan would be $500.
We thought this little exhorbitant,
but hustled around and succeeded in
raising $780, and could by no means
of perseverance increase the amount,
so we telegraphed Mr. Bryan to this
effect. a. Back came the answer that he
must have the full $500 or the en-
gagement would be declared off. -
cit was declared off, said the
travelling man in concluding the story
"and I with many others of the club
concluded it would be best to vote the
Republican ticket and We did. We
thought man as small and mean as
this as candidate for president ought
never to be elected. Organism and
Democracy in general may be said to
be very much below par in our town
ever since the affair happened"

4
ways. a subject of deep concern In
democratic governments, we have inn
proved both In the letter and the
| spirit. How could it be. otherwise
when labor knows that Mckinley and
| Roosevelt have watched over its in
terests as brother might, and capt.
tai knows that its rights will be
sacredly guarded so long as it is true
to its duties? As to our place in the
world, it has simply followed and
naturally complemented the steady
Improvement in our domestic condi-
ton. A country growing so fast must
have elbow room-must have its
share Of the sunshine. In the last
seven years, without aggression, with
out undue self-assertion, we have
taken the place that belonged to us.
Adhering with religious care to the
precepts of Washington and the ira
ditions of a century, and avoiding
all entangling alliances, protesting
friendship to all nations and partial
ity to none, Mckinley and Roosevelt
have gone steadily forward protect
inc and extending American interests
everywhere and gaining, by deserving
it. the good will of all the world
Their advice has been constantly
sought and sparingly given. We do
not covet the territory nor the con-
troll of any other people. We hold
ourselves absolutely apart from any
combinations or groups Of powers.
We favor no national interests but
our own. In controversies among
our neighbors we take no part, not
even rendering good Offices unless at
the request of both parties concerned.
When our advice is given, it is always
on the side of peace and Cancellation.
We have made, it is true, great ac-
QUESTIONS, but never Of set purpose
nor from greed Of land In the case

We freed ourselves from a useless
and dangerous ENHANCEMENT, and in
place of an undesirable condomonium
we gained possession of the best har-
Dor in the South Seas, retaining. at
the same time, all our commercial
rights in the archipelago. The diplo-
macy of Mckinley and Roosevelt has
been directed principally to our pres

IS,THOS. W. LAWSON CRAZY?
How Some of New York's Bankers
and Brokers Make Answer.
One Declared Him the Sanest Man
I'm America, but That He Had
-. the Others Dahy.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE more or
less interesting war of words between
Thomas w. Lawson, of Boston, and w.
c. Greene, of this city, seems to have
quieted down a bit. 1t all grew out
of @Lawson's "Fre1zied Finance" cam
paign, in which Lawson seems to be
trying to injure the copper division
VI the Standard Oil crowd.
Owing to the excitement caused hy
Lawson, Wall street bankers and
brokers were asked by reporters:
rs Thomas w. Lawson crazy?"
Some answers are not printable.
Some men met the question with a
blank stare. Others refused to be
quoted.
Former President Keppler, of the
New York stock exchange, referred
TO the Lawson affair as a public scan
1al.
One man who was in the Office of a
prominent broker said:
Lawson crazy?" No; he's the
sanest man in America. He's got EN-
all dany.
Another man said that the Standard
Oil crowd had made up its mind that
public sentiment demanded that some
n publicly attack it, and that it pre-
ferred some of it's friends should at
tack rather than an enemy.
Richard p. Lounsbery, of Is Broad
street: Tom Lawson is not crazy; but
he is a shrewd bunco steerer. He is a
panic in himself"
c. P. Holzderber, of Henry Clews &
Co: Lawson is acting like a crazy
man, but in this craziness he has made
n lot of money. He is not big enough
to do alone what he is doing. There
is q deep-laid plot, and Lawson is
doing the crazy work"

THERE MAY BE SOME OTHERS
The Svayne Case Nay Open Up II
General investigation of Ex-
pense Accounts.

Washington, Dec. 14.-The Swayne
case may be followed by an investiga-
ton in TO the business methods of a
number of other federal judges, who,
it is claimed. have been turning in
e%xorbitant expense accounts. 1t has
been the practice of some of them to
present regularly bills of $40 a day
for expenses.
1t was this $40 a day feature of the
Swayne case which convinced the con-
gressional committee that the south
ern judge ought to be impeached, and
if he is to be punished fer the alleged
padding of his bills, it is expected that
others will be called to account for
the same thing.
