AmusinE Incident.
There were OF course, amusing tea-
lures connected with the parade, one
OF which is worthy of mention. In
one OF the carriages sat dignihed-
looking gentleman who wore some
thing OF an out-of-date silk hat. he
had a classic face, however, and lady
wno was witnessing the parade pointed
him out to a friend as w. j. Bryan. The
friend, whose husband Is an enthusi-
astic admircr of the Nebraskan. called
her good mans attention to tho pres
cncc OF Bryan. Immediately there
went UP cry Of "Hurrah for Bryan,
and the unknown wearer Of the SILK
hat received quite an ovation.
BY this time the original suesser
as to the identity OF the SILK nat man
said: II was mistaken. That is Sena-
tor Daniel" The enthusiastic Bryan
man replied, 'All right then, hurraa
for Daniel and again the wearcr OF
the '.plug" was cheered. An old stager.
who was sitting near by. declared that
there was mistake, for neither Bryan
or Daniel wore a silk hat. He was
right, for Just then came along an
other carriage. in which sat the real

steps of the Franklin Street residence
had lost his voice with much cheer
ing Improperly applied, and the great
champion OF free silver failed to get
the salute that was intended for him.
However, at several other points his
slouch hat was recognized and he was
easily one of the most heartily cheered
men in the line.
Later 1t was learned that tho wcareI
of the silk hat was Judge Newman, OF
Atlanta, Ga, who said he nattered him
self that he was too young looking
man to have been assigned scat In
carriage with. generals OF the Con-
federate Army. But oil the same the
Judge was Confederate soldier, anc

he lost an arm at Sharpsburg. HI

Bryan and Daniel, and when seated II

could not show to advantage, the
curious mistake made by the Franklin
Street ladies was natural enough.
