The nomination of MT Bryan by the democrats is conceded by the vast majority of the members of the demo- cratic national committee which met in Washington last week and decided on Denver as the place, and July as the date of the democratic national convention. Denver is in the heart of the Bryan country and there is no doubt that the great auditorium at that city will be packed with men who will shout the name of the peerless leader on every possible occasion Mayor Johnson of Cleveland, who has just won such signal victory over Representative Theodore Burton ill the Cleveland municipal campaign, at tended the meeting of the committee and talked Bryan to everyone he met. Mayor Johnson, who possesses q charming personality, besides being Il man of great force, made many con yerts to his belief that Mir Bryan will at last attain his ambition and will succeed Theodore Roosevelt in the white house. Mir Johnson would not admit that he was to be Mir Bryan's campaign leader, but he did not deny it and there is reason to believe that he will accept this important position and contribute liberally of his ample fortune to the promotion of the cam paign.

come. The present depression Is likely to be protracted until all of the weak spots have been thoroughly eliminated, which is not yet the case. Neverthe" less, security values have discounted the worst and are on a much more substantial and safer basis than they have been for the past five years. Even should dividends be reduced, as is not improbable, that would be no reason for further depreciation. Pres ent prices fully discount such pos abilities, and good securities purchas- ed during the past few weeks are sure to show handsome profits to those who hold them for sufficient length of time. Business operations of all sorts will have to be conducted with un- usual conservatism during the coming month, but confidence should grad ually revive, especially as the mone- tary situation begins to right itself.

ARRESTED BUT GOT AWAY. -
Took Chance When Detective Was Be fore Mexican Governor.

New York, Dec. 15.-A San Diego special to morning newspaper says: William F. Walker has escaped from the Pinkertons of Ensenada and is now either in. the mountains lying east of the lower California capital or on the ocean. The latter supposition is considered the more probable, as the fugitive used to be sailor.
 In the last three weeks he has been going to and fro along the coast in sailing vessels, taking refuge on any craft which would receive him. Not until yesterday was it known that the cashier of the New Britain, Conn, Savings bank. had escaped. The first authentic news was received from J. B. Ely. telegraph operator at Ensenada. Tn answer to message of inquiry. Ely wired the following: "Walker not yet arrested. can give no information until posse re- turns"
 The receipt of this message. so con- tradictory to the information available Friday. started an investigation. and the news finally sent up from Ensen- ada was that Walker had Outwitted the PinkertOns Friday morning
 He went from this city to Ensenada, it is presumed. on a vessel.
 One of the sleuths. however, put him under arrest there Wednesday. This news was wired 10 PinkertOn headduarters fin New York and other detectives of that agency were dis patched from Los Angeles to escort him back to San Diego.
 Friday morning his custodian was obliged to go before the Mexican gov ernor to obtain papers authorizing tlIs fugitive's detention. This furnished the ex-cashier an opportunity to cs- cape.
 The view most generally accepted is that Walker. who was well acquainted with officials and other influential citf- zens of Ensenada. had placed some of his money where it would work the most powerful cnarm-

President Roosevelt has precipitat- ed n remarkably interesting situation In his party by the reiteration of his election night declaration that he will not again be candidate for the presi- dency. By his declaration and his sub sequent talks with leaders of his party he has made split in the party in- eyltable, split which may go far toward democratic success. It Is the purpose of the president-and within his own party his purposes are usually successful to draw a sharp line be- tween that faction of the party which supports his policies. most of which he has borrowed from Mir Bryan. and that faction of the party which op- poses him. Those who espouse his policies he will line up solidIy behind William H. Taft, while those who op- pose his policies will be compelled to choose one of the other possible can didates for their standard bearer. The man who now seems to stand the hest chance of being chosen by the 'reactlOnaries'' as the president calls them. is Governor Hughes of New York. with George B. Cortelyou. secrc- tary of the treasury. the second choice of the Old Hanna Guard. Mr Roose- velt does not hesitate to tell his friends that Taft is the logical choice of those who support his style of republican, ism. who wish a continuation of his policies. and the then who are sin cereIy in sympathy with Roosevelt are entirely ready t0 support Taft.

One of the pitiable sights of these Christmas days, says the Hartford Courant is these ear loads on one freight train after another of ever greens cut down to ornament rooms or whole areas for the season. It means actual forest destruction, and has not even the excuse of the spruce cutting that it is for a useful purpose. It is carrying to a wicked extreme what began as pretty custom and it should be discouraged.

LONDON, Dot. eA-There are two forces
which make cooperative housekeeping seem

The first Of the cooperative Housekeeping
schemes TO be- put in practice had for hts
main condition hat gentlewomen were TO
take cheap wOrkmen's cottages. Each cot

herself except that a cooperative char
woman was to do the heavy work for all.
For the rest there was cooperation only I'm

fundamental idea is that the oottagers.
instead Of serving themselves only. shall
serve one another. One does tho cooking.
another the gardening. another tends to
the poultry. &c. Each woman still has time
for other work or for hobbies and she has
home life and exchange OF ideas.

The central block will be occupied by .

and servants quarters. The cheaper
dwellings will be shared by two or four
tenants, the other houses win be occupied
by small families.
The chief point ID that the tenants noed
not keep vi but can be provided with
attendance less or more a they wish. The
scale OF rents brings this mode OF life within
the reach Of people of small means.

by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and a band OF
equally progressive men.

In regard to the servant question Il ought

any project which offers release from such
thraldom is worth trying.
A far as the social side of these settle
msnts is concerned the plan has worked
satisfactorily. a..
