BRYAN AT DETROIT
Mayor Codd Delivered an
 Address of Welcome.
EEBRASKAN SPEAKS TO WORKIBCNEN
UphOlds Dignity of Toll -In This Country, Where We Have Rest of Everything, We Should Have
 Best Ideal of Labor.

DETROIT, Mich., Sept. 4. - When William Jennings Bryan arrived with his party of about a hundred in De troit over the Grand Trunk he passed to his carriage through cheering, ap- plauding crowd and, escorted by the reception committee, was driven to the Hotel Cadillac, where Mayor George P. Codd delivered a formal address of welcome
 Immediately after the reception the party sat down to luncheon, after which they were driven in automobiles to the fair grounds, where very large crowd greeted the Nebraskan's ap- proach with applause and cheers. The party was driven to the band stand in the grove. where Bryan was to speak Nearly all in the immediate vicinity of the stand bore the marks of the toiler. It was to these Bryan's address seemed directed. MT. Bryan said that he was impressed during the last few months of his travels abroad with an idea in conr ection with labor.
 "As passed through the orient" he said, T found a great gap between those who stand at the top and those at the bottom of the social structure I return to my home more than ever believing in the dignity of labor and the importance of cultivRting a senti- ment among the people which makes them respect more the man who tolls than the one who idles in society.
 T tIust we shall never have within this country leisure class, if by that we mean those with nothing to do. cannot conceive any place in a well regulated society for men or women who have nothing to do
 Tn this country, where we bave the best of everything" continued MT. Bry- an, i've ought to have the best ideal of labor. I want to cultivate the senti- ment that the man who does something for the welfare of the nation is better than the man whose only ambition is to spend something somebody else created for him."

BASEBALL MUDDLE.
Connecticut League Clubs Fatting
 Up at Expense of Weak Clubs

Bridgeport, September 4.-In view of the closeness of the race in the Connecticut Baseball League, and
 the fact that there are games that are disputed, a careful examination
 has been made of all the games played this season. for the purpose of getting at the exact figures. Two tables are given, the first showing the standing of the clubs which in- clude all games played and the sec ond showing the standing with the extra games thrown out. The of lenders in playing extra games above those scheduled are Springfield, New Haven and Waterbury. Springfield has played nineteen games with Hol- yoke when, of course, only eighteen should be played. By right the game played yesterday afternoon is noth- ing but an exhibition game and the second table recognized that situa- ton, although 1t will be for the league ultimately to settle the mat ter.
 New Haven has been the worst of fender. It has played three games were with Waterbury and one with New London. There was no ex- cuse for the double header last Sat urday as the regular schedule game would make eighteen.
 Two extra games with Waterbury are to some extent excusable because the league directors have not passed upon the games played in Meriden and in Waterbury on Sunday. New Haven claims the first game which she won, but denies the second which she lost. In the two extra games played both teams broke even. There is no fairness to Norwich in playing those extra games or counting them. Captain Tighe would have as good a right to play double-headers with New London and count them if he won. So far as the fans throughout the circuit are concerned. they feel about those games as they did about the Miller games. They want the team to win the flag on It's merits, not by legislation or schedule jug gling. The two standings are as fol- lows:

THE BACK STAMP.
Post Office Department Thinks It Use
 less and Is Cutting It Out,

Washington, D. C., Sept. 4.-Sim-
 pllcity in method and in operation,
 in the conduct of the public business
 is the ideal toward which the post
 office department is directing it's en-
 ergles. Time saved is money made
 for the government and, therefore,
 for the people.
 Every effort Is being made, at the same time, to facilitate the transmits sion of the mails and wherever five minutes can be saved by the elimina- ton of red tape or by the substitution of modern for antiquated methods, the department officials do not hesi- tate to save the time, provided the expense involved is not too great to warrant the change.
 Nearly a year ago, First Assistant Postmaster General Frank H. Hitch cock conceivedfthe idea of eliminating the work of placing on letters of what Is known of the back stamp. Under the present arrangement, let ters have to be stamped in postoffices twice, once in the sending office and once in the receiving office. The stamp placed on the letters in the receiving office is the ''back stamp" and bears the time of the arrival of the letter in that office. In big of fees, like those of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington. Chicago and others. the placing of the back stamp on letters consumes deal of time and requires the services of many clerks. It sometimes Is mat ter of satisfaction to business men to know when letter was received in the office in their city, but 1t is not often matter of much importance.
 It was determined to give the prop osition of Mir Hitchcock trial. By order of the department. the placing of the back stamp on letters in the Chicago office was discontinued about six months ago. The experiment has been in operation ever since. Evidently the buck stamp was not as not a complaint of the ab- sence has been received at the post office department. The elimination of the back stamp saved the services of thirty clerks In the Chicago office. Tn the delivery of the mail in the city the time. on each mall. was fa- from twenty minutes to two hours. That is. the letters were placed in the hands of the carriers and delivered on an average of about an hour before they were delivered when the back stump was in use.
 It is proposed by the department now to try the experiment not only In Chicago. but also in New York. Boston. Jersey City and Washington. The success of the experiment In Chicago has been encouraging to the postofice officials, and they are con- ident that the elimination of the | hack stamp In ofiices throughout the | win result In an immense Aggregate saving of time. in the de livery of mall. and of expense to the

No one else bidding, the statue
was knocked down TO the syndicate
at their last offer. Dumars re-
mained with the prize, while Rob
bins hurried forth TO wiring from
the resources and credit of both
the price. He soon returned with
the money, and the two musketeers
loaded their precious package into
a carriage and drove with it TO
Dumars' room, in old Chartres
street, near by. They lugged it,
covered with a cloth, up the stairs,
and deposited it on a table. 4
hundred pounds it weighed, if an
ounce, and at that estimate, ac-
cording to their calculation, if their
daring theory were correct, it stood
there, worth 10000 golden dollars.
Robbins removed the covering,
and opened his pocketkznife.
"Sacre!" muttered Dumars, shud-
dering. ''It is the Mother of
Christ. What would you do?"

vestigation, that Mr.. NORM had
held this benevolent order in par
ticular favor. He had contributed
literally toward its support. and
had chosen its chapef as his favor
ite place of private worship. 1t was
said that he went there daily TO
make his devotions at the altar.
Indeed. toward the last of his life
his whole mind seemed to have
fixed itself upon religious matters,
perhaps to the detriment of his
worldly affairs.
Thither went Robbins and Du-
mars, and were admitted through
the narrow doorway in the blank
stone wall that frownec upon Bon
homme street. An old woman was
sweeping the chapel. She told them
that Sister Felicite, the head of
the order, was then at prayer at
the altar in the alcove. In a few
moments she would emerge. Heavy,
black curtains screened the alcove.
They waited.
Soon the curtains were disturbed
and Sister Felicite came forth. She
was tall, tragic, bony and plain
featured, dressed in the black
gown and severe bornet of the Sis
terhood.
Robbins. a good rough-and-tum-
BILE reporter, but lacking the deli
cate touch, began 10 speak.
They represented the press. The
lady had, no d. lbt, heard of the
NORM affair. 1t was necessary, in
justice to that gentleman's mem
ory, TO probe the mystery of the
lost money. 1t was known that he
had come often TO this chapel. Any
information, now, concerning Mr..
Morin's habits, tastes, the friends
he had. and so on. would be of
value in doing him posthumous JUS
tice.
Sister Felicite had heard. What

metal that the CreOles love. From
the little courtyard a uny foun-
tain sent in an insinuating sound
of trickling waters, to which a
banana plant by the window kept
time with its tremuIous leaves.
Robbins, an investigator by na-
ture, sent a curious glance rowing
about the room. From some bar
barrie ancestor, madame had inher-
tied a penchant for the crude in
decoration.
The walls were adorned with
cheap Autographs - fiorid ibels
upon nature, addressed TO the
taste of the bourgeoise-birthday
cards, garish newspaper supple
ments, and specimens of art-ad-
vertising calculated to reduce the
optic nerve to stunned submission.
y patch of something unintelligible
in the midst of the more candid
display puzzled Robbins, and he
rose and took a step nearer, to
interrogate it at closer range.
Then he leaned weakly against
the wall. and called out:
Madam Tibault! Oh, madam!
Since when-oh, since when-have
you been in the habit of papering
your walls with five-thousand-dol-
lar United States per cent gold
bonds? Tell me-is this a Grimm's
fairy tale, or should 1 consult an
oculist?
At his words, Madame Tibault
Dumars approached.

cheerily- "H'what you say, Msieur
