Government job.
Chicago, April 23.-Two thousand
persons listened tonight to the
address Of Col. VIM. Jennings Bryan
and as many more fought for admls-
sion to the building, but were denied
on account Of fire restrictions regar-
ding the seating capacity of the
Auditorium.
Part up part Col. Bryan took up
the recently adopted New York
Democratic platform and arraigned
it as a measure traitorous to the
people of the Democracy.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
heavy rain began to pour shortly
after Col. Bryan opened his speech,
the crowd outside remained at the
doors, willing to suffer the incon-
vience of wet clothing in order that
they might listen. At one time
early in the address some one outside
the building cried. .''Hurrah for
Bryan" and those within were quick
to take up the cry. The speaker
smiled and bowed. The sCornfA
and derisive., manner in which sCol.
Bryan alluded to Grover Cleveland,
David B Hill, Judge Alton B Parker
and August Belmont, found quick re-
from the audience. Col.
said:

"Breaking the Bank at nonte Carlo.'

According to Sir Henry Maxim. breaking the bank at Monte Carlo" is a very easy performance. Some times, and one in which the player has the cordial cooperation of the manage ment-proyided there is a large crowd of onlookers.
 In his book, Monte Carlo" just pub- lished. Sir Hiram has much that is in- teresting to say of the famous 'sys- tenn by which Lord Rosslyn and the late MT. Sam Lewis broke the bank or at least the authorities pretended the bank was broken. The two play CTS went to a trento-et-quarante table. and each staked a maximum Of I2,QOO francs upon black. Black came up and they were paid 24OOO francs. Again they staked the maximum and won. When they had scored seven consecu- tive wins the bank was again broken. bell was rung and much ceremony was observed before more money was delivered. and then play went on. The bank was again declared broken, and with more ceremony more money was sent for. Hundreds of people had gath cred round, and everybody stalled on black, which came up seventeen times. The eighteenth coup was red, and Lord Rosslyn and MT. Lewis lost 12,OCO francs each. Sir Hiram was skeptical as to the bank being broken. "I did not believe for a moment that the bank had actually been broken. I knew that there had been a great deal of play that day, and that the win aings of this prticular table must have been heavy indeed. therefore remain ed to see the money taken from the table, when I found that it was exact ly as I had expected-there was at least peck of bank notes. It had not been necessary for the bank to send for money at all; this had only been done for effect, and Q valuable adver- tisement had been obtained"

THE POPE AS HE IS.

Plus x. is of good height, strongly made, even stout, and has fine grace of carriage. his dignity is as great as his position, but utterly without hauti- ness. or pomposity or pride of office. He has none of the magnetism" of the popular preacher. actor or orator; nevertheless, he is remarkably mag netic. it is the magnetism of unmis- takabIe goodwill to all the world. Ev- eryone was laughing with excitement at the sheer pleasure of seeing him, and because he smiled a little. His voice, mellow. clear and resonant yet gentle, has in it the quality Of lofty and prac- tical goodness that is in his face. II is a strong voice. too, with the strength of the man who could give an incor- rigible lout a fine beating for the good O fhis soul, 'and it is what might be called a brave" voice A man with tkat kind Of a voice will not be afraid of anything that might happen to him. self only. Put, more than these things, it carries to one who hears it the benediction that exhales from the spirit of Piux K to all the world, all the time.-Booth Tarkington in Harper's Magazine.

vengc. So far the story IS merely hu- man. But. frort hsre it becomes unfcr- tunately feminine.
 For how did Mrs. Springer obtain her revenge? Not by retributicn on the woman who, she thought, had wronged her, but by trying to ruin the career of that wCman's husband.
 She ferreted out that years before he had been accused of a crime and h d fled from justice 0hough he had been subsequently, pardOned; and with this information she started disbarment pro- caedings against him.
 Whether Mrs. Springer is technical 4 right in her position, whether MT Cole man legally merits disbarment, is no- the question.
 The point is, that to grat.fy her re- sentiment against another woman Mrs. Springer has tried to wreck the life Of g man who never harmed her.
 A man may seek vengeance in many dark ways; he may lie away his en- emy's reputation, he may shoot his en- eny in the back. But he does rot set tie ccores by attacking his enemy's wife.
 Let us hope that b fore locg mis1e 9d of such subtle interruptions brutality will be equally impossible for the weak CT sex.-New York World.
