Mr. BRYAN MOVED TO

Twenty Thousand Persons Waving
Stars and Stripes Make Most Re-
markable Demonstration Ever
Accorded Private Citizen.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30-Packed from
floor to upper gallery, the great Madi-
son Square Garden Theatre trembled
with the cheers Of 10000 throats, the
clapping Of 10000 pairs Of hands as
William Jennings Bryan tonight was
welcomed back to his native land.
1t was such demonstration as sell
dom in the nations history has been
accorded to private citizen.
For ten minutes after Mr.. Bryan's
appearance volley after volley of thun-
derous acclaim rolled through the
building, and, when Chairman Tom l..
johnson introduced the Nebraskan,
referred to him as "the first citizen, If
not the first official, of the land-not
yet the first official, 1.-THE great gather
In broke out in unrestrained cheering,
through which the bands triumphant
"Hail to the Chief" could be heard
only family, and at intervals.
Mr.. Bryan was visibly touched by
the spontaneous outburst of enthusi-
asm, as great as he has ever known in
all his years of popular leadership.
His eyes filled with tears and he
strobe nervously up and down the
platform.
"How can thank you for this well
come homer" be said. My heart would
be ungrateful il it did not consecrate
itself to yourself. 1t was kind to pre-
pare this reception. 1t was kind Of
Governor Folk to come here. 1t was
kind OF Tom johnson to lend his
presence here,
at was kind in you to recompense
me fully for being absent so long from
my native land. thank you. re-
turn to the land Of my birth, more
proud OF my citizenship than ever be-
fore.n
Every person In the audience had an
American flag, and every cheer from
10000 throats was accentuated by the
wave Of 10000 stats bearing the Stars
and Stripes. The Garden Theater
was a sea Of color.
Outside, meanwhile, the streets and
avenues were choked for blocks with
many thousands; PATIENTS waiting
for even a glimpse Of the distinguish
ed guest Of the Commercial Travellers
Antitrust League. There is no build
ing in the country commodious enough
to hold the crowd that tried to see
and hear Bryan tonight.

REV. SAM JONES RUNS GAMUT.
Talks Alligators to Atheism and
Politics to Poodles.

Cmcago Record-Herald,
Rev. Sam p. Jones proved that he
was just as springhtly lecturer as at
any time these fifteen years when he
spoke last night for the benefit Of
North Park College at the Swedish
Mission Church, School and Osgood
streets. Mr.. Jones had his aud ience
In guests CT laughter for an hour and
a half, during which he touched on
two score or more TOPICS ranging from
alligators to atheism and from politics
to poodles A few of the things that
Mr.. Jones said were the following:
A lot of Chicago preachers spend all
week getting up manuscript sermons.
What does a preacher want with a
manuscript, anyway? A preacher
should be like a beer keg-he should
run anywhere you tap him.
Politicians have no more heart than
Florida alligator or society woman.
I'd just as soon shake fishs tail as a
society woman's kid-gloyed hand.
When God gives man a good wife
and fifteen children or so, he's all
right; when Tie devil gives him a
society woman and poodle dog, he's
In bad way.
Canada has had 76S divorces in her
history; the United States has had
nearly a million. What do you think
Of the figures?
Chicago preachers are running the
devil out of town the same way as q
dog once saw was running hog out
Of q field. The dog was running ahead
and the hog couldn't keep up.
Partisan politics and religious sec
tarianism have about done up this
country.
