lucky. removes not only commanding figure In
the Episcopal Church, but a citizen Of influence
in the State to which for more than quarter
of a century he had devoted his ministerial ac-
tivities. He was a preacher Of great power
and magnetism, an administrator of unusual
ability and man to be loved and admired. His
counsel was sought wherever Church problems
demanded keen insight and close grasp, and his
pulpit eloquence was known in every city Of
the land. He preached frequently at st. Bar
tholomew's and st. Thomas's churches, in this
city.

It had been supposed by many people that
Mr.. Bryan's travels might have broadened his
mind and lessened to some extent his prejudices
and perverted opinions public affairs. Such
anticipatiOns were proved too sanguine by his
recent address on his return to Nebraska.
The older he grows the more stubborn the

1900 becomes in hugging his delusions.

Golf RnIls md Cnbles.

The use of gutta percha for subma-
rine cables and golf balls makes con-
stant drains on the supply of this ma
terial. and substitutes are being con
stantly sought after In constructing n
cable the gutta percha is employed to
insulate the conducting wire from the
exterior metal sheath. and. though late
ly rubber has been employed for this
purpose ON some shorter lines. yet for
long ocean lines the gutta percha is con-
sidercd essential Recently the German
telegraph department has made II thor
ough test of some cables into whose
construction IN artificial gutta percha
enters This material is the invention
of Adolf GcntZsch of Vienna and is Il
mixture of india rubber and a palm
wax whose melting point is the same as
that of the rubber The electrical prop
critics of the compound are equal TO
those of gutta pcrcha. and the specifica-
tions of the contract with the German
government were more than satisfied in
actual tests The cost of the artificial
gutta percha cables is about 81 per cent
less than the ordinary cable.-Harper's

BRYAN OFFERS TO
TAKE THE STUMP
Will Speak For Parker and Davis
During October.
NATIONAL COMMITTEE PLEASED

New York, Sept. Secretary Urey
Woodson. of the Democratic national
committee, has received letter from
William J. Bryan. in which Mr.. Bryan
says he will be at the disposal of the
Democratic committee for campaign
purposes during the Iionth of October.
Mr.. Bryan indicates that he would pre-
fer speaking in the west. mostly in
Indiana Chairman Taggart says that
the committee has not yet taken up
the subject of Mr.. Bfyan's itinerary.
and il is not yet known whether he
will speak In the eastern states. al
though there have been several re-
quests from different localities that II
ir. Bryan enters the campaign he
should make one or two speeches In
Connecticut and New York.
Satisfaction was expressed at ma
tional headquarters regarding the offer
of Mr.. Bryan to aid in the campaign,
as there has been considerable talk
about the apathy of some of the most
ardent Bryan men. and fear has been
expressed that they would vote for
Watson.
A story was current that the Popu-
lists. together with radical Democrats
and the remnants of the Henry George
Democracy. were not only going to put
up Watson electors in New York. but
that they would also put up a state
ticket. congressional tickets and legis-
lative tickets as far as they were able
to do SO by petitions. Democratic lead
ers believe that Mr.. Bryans appearance
on the stump. even If he does not come
east. will have tendency to hold his
warm supporters in line for the regu-
lar ticket.

Punxsutawney. Pa. Sept. Eight
hundred kegs of powder exploded in
the press room of the Latin & Rand
powder works. two miles east of here,
instantly killing one man. seriously
injuring three others and causing cost
ly destruction of property.
The press room. which was about 40
feet square, was totally destroyed.
Leonard Bair, who was killed. was in
the building at the time of the explo-
sion. When his body was recovered
among the ruins after the accident it
was found that part of his head had
been literally blown away. No other
part of his body was in the least mutt
lated. The three injured men were in
an engine room 200 feet away from the
press room. Each was severely cut and
bruised by pieces of flying debris and
all were knocked unconscious by the
terrific force of the explosion. Other

radius of mile of the powder works

plosion will probably never be known,
