THE SHIRT-WAIST FOR MEN.

1t is days like these that make a
fellow wish the shirtwaist had been
success, and incidentally to wonder
at its failure, corresponding as it
does to the same part of female at
tire, and to which no one was ever
heard to take exception.
Shortly after the shirtwaist din
ner was given at the Waldorf in New
York by a party of theatrical people,
certain college professors (bless their
much Numbered muslin ties) raised
the cry that such apparel is effemin-
ate. Why, please? Surely the fear
of adverse comment when a fellow
is broiling beneath the weight of an
unneeded coat, savors more of effem-
macy than the daring, which demands
its ego shall rOOst amid eongenial
surroundings. Was it not Richard
Harding Davis who complained that
the shirtwaist does not constitute a
costume. yet were that gentleman to
ask the queen of the Basutoes to
kindly state what does, fancy she
would waltz her avoirdupois behind
a yearling palm. and with an open
work -answeT-custOm.
After all, it rests with the fair sex
to say whether the style shall ever be
accepted, and, girls, you cannot win
monuments in a nObler cause.
We hear many different versions
of the way to win a wOman-One man
with whom marriage had become a
habit, claimed it is always a mani
festatiOn of force in some shape OF
other that wins, and the ability to
take the initiative is surely not the
least of these.

BRYAN MADE A FORTUNE.
Earned 81, 200 a Week While on His
Tour Around the World.

William Jennings Bryan, who sail
ed from Gibraltar for New York, has
been away from America eleven
months, and during that time he has
made $1,000 a week by writing arti-
cles on his travels for a syndicate of
American papers. He will earn ap-
proximately $4,000 by his articles
and they will be reproduced in book
form later, which will net Bryan at
least $4,000 more. 1t is estimated
that Mr.. Bryan's expense of travelling
with his wife, son and daughter have
been 5000 week, OF about $4,000
for the time he has been away. His
earnings for the year therefore, net

BRYAN IN CHICAGO.
Delivers Two Speeches While Guest
of Local Democracy.

VI AONeAA A(NhHONL0Cys
Chicago, Sept. 5. William ].
Bryan, as the guest of the local DEM
ocracy, delivered yesterday within
eight hours two addresses. His first
speech, which was made at a lunch
con of the IroQuis Club, dealt with
political issues and economic cues
lions. The second, made at a ban
quet given in his honor by the JEFF
ferson Club, was devoted to National
Committeeman Roger c. Sullivan, of
Illinois, whose resignation Mr.. Bryan
has demanded, but who, despite this,
was endorsed by the recent state con-
vention, which also declared itself in
favor of Mr.. Bryan as the next Demo-
cratic nominee for president. Mr..
Bryan not only scored Sullivan and
his political methods numerically,
but informed the Democrats present,
many of whom were delegates to the
recent state convention, that he would
have none of the approval of the
Democrats of Illinois, and that he re-
pudiated their recent endorsement of
him.

a Wilmington. Del, special to the New
York World says: Prominent members Of
the millionaire Du Pont family. who are
officials of the Du Pont Powder Company,
are compelled to act as ordinary team
STEERS because of a strike at the big works.
The powder makers and other employees at
the plant near here went out a week ago
when their demand for an eight-hour day
was refused. The strike spread to other
workmen. with the result that the works
are badly crippled.
Victor Du Pont. third, son of Victor Du
Pont general manager of the powder plant,
Is now driving a team and is busily en-
gagged from early morning until night re-
moving powder from the various mills to
the magazines and storage houses. He ac-
cepts his dangerous task without complaint.
Others of the Du Points are similarly en-
gagged
The outlook for the settlement of the
strike is not encouraging. no overtures hav-
Ing been made by either side. 1t is an.
nounced that as the Du Points now control
all of the largest powder plants of the
country. the works near here may be closed
unless the strike shall soon end. The trou-
BILE has spread to the Du Pont works at
Carney's Point, N. j., where eighty men
