Finally. Norman Z Mack returns
from abroad 10 report OF 6slds and
individuals beFonnd the pale Of CAD
didaey. and says that Richard Crok-
er will return 10 the States. butonly
10 vote. The hOpeexpressed BY Mr..
Mack that Mr. Hearst and Mr. Bryan
will. for the party good. make up
their differences. has brought out
the first explicit statement concern
ing the basis Ct the feud between
these two gentlemen. None Of
Hearst's friends whom the New
York newspapers sought would
speak for publication. but il was
learned that there is still a very
pronounced ill-feelieg on the part Of
tho Hearst pe0pleagainst Mr.. Bryan.
and fhe reason 10 given thus:
Mr.. Hearst in 1896 and 1900. per-
sOnally and through his newspapers.
supported Mr.. Bryan for the Presi-
dencV. In 1904 Mr.. Bryan was not
q candidate for the Presidency. while
Mr.. Hearst wss. and Mr.. Hearst
felt that be should have Mr.. Bryan's
support. Instead Of requiting the
political loyalty Of Mr.. Hearst. Mr..
Bryan went upon the platform and
seconded the nomination Of former
United States Senator Cockrell, Of
Missouri. who had no chance OF be-
ing nominated. Some OF the Hearst
people who were seen declared shat
Mr.. Hearst's friends would do every-
thing possible to defeat Mr.. Bryan
for the nomination next year, and
that IL they accomplished their pur-
psse, Mr.. Hearst would not run for
President as the candidates of the
National Independence League.
Peculiar significance is lent by
these statements. which are admit
tedly inspired from Hearst Indepen-
dent League, TO the effect that from
a SociGlistic standpoint, there will
be reason enough for third party
but that from Democratic stand
point, third party will be unne-
cessary.
Neither the broad and charitable
craftsmanship which enlighteninp
travel is supposed to produce. nor
the Christening effects of defeat and
reputation, are apparent in this dis.
closure. ard thoughtful Democrats
are justified in wondering whether
the promising party outlook is tc
be clouded by a personal rivalry,
petty enough to do credit to a town
meeting. and involving personal
ambitions and no principles.
Some Of the ignoble results oil
this quarrel between the candidates
may be seen in the recent exposure
OF Mr.. Bryan's undignified method
OF hanging around box Offices and
personally collecting and bestowing,
in a bag carried for that purpose,
the actual cash for his work as lee.
turer, instead OF having q clerk or a
secretary do it.
While this and other small items
OF purely personal interest may be
entertaining 10 groundlings and pro.
lessons Of department, they cannot
contribute TO healthy public dis
cussion about matters OF principle.

STEAMER SINKS,
CARGO IS Lost
Associated Press.

New Orleans, September 27.-One
life was lost and there were several
narrow escapes as the result of the
sinking of the River Packet Dial, early
this morning at her wharf, foot of
Cont street. The boat and her en-
tire cargo will be total loss. She
was valued at $4,000, and the cargo
consigned to various New Orleans
firms was estimated at considerable.
1t consisted of oysters and rice and
general merchandise.
Frank Brown, a colored cabin boy,
aged %, who lives in this city at 1924
Washington avenue, went down in the
sinking vessel and was drowned, while
Captain Henry O'Pry, who was at the
wheel, and Second Engineer Thos.
Holmes, Jr., who was in the engine
room, had narrow escape. Efforts
were made to awaken the negro, who
was asleep in his bunk. For time
it was believed that Capt. O'Pry had
lost his life, but he emerged from the
water and managed to make his way
ashore unhurt.

Value Of Pine for Siding

gliding was formerly called, plenty of
it that was never painted, can be
found on houses built more than sew
enty-five years ago.
AS for Georgia sap pine, we never
saw it used as siding on a permanent
building and have no idea of its last

Eavior in other exposed positions, we
should think it would hardly last long
enough to pay for mailing it on as

"This surprising inquiry has just

"This inquiry comes from section
of Tennessee where the finest yellow
poplar was originally the leading for

meets in the jungle Then their hab-
its are not SO creditable as people in

be shocked to learn that the lion
feeds on meat in the most advanced

too lazy to hunt for fresh meat. They

Despite any inclemency of the
weather the attendance at the Colum
bia Street Baptist Church continues to
grow with each service and the SER
mons of Rev. Solomon are also in
creasing in interest and intensity as
the days go by
The afternoon services are usually
well attended, mostly by women and
children, and in the evening the house
is generally filled with as many people
as can get into it. The music is rem
dered by a choir composed of some OF
the best musicians in the city and Is
always delightful and attracts a lot
of attention.
Yesterday afternoon Rev. Solomon
preached from text found in the
eighth chapter of Romans, thirty-irst
verse: eff God be for us, who can be
against us?'
The sermon was in part as follows:
"As there are in mountain ranges
great peaks, so there are in the Bible
great chapters. This eighth chapter
of Romans stands out like mountain
peak in Gods word, as it were.
There is no question about the lat

part we have to decide whom God Ii
for and who is for God. Hear Hi
word on it: God is for them whom

Mount Ararat With the Ruins Of

peared in a Dawson paper some few
years ago. And while a controversy
may well be waged as to the meaning
and original purpose of the great ruin

northern Yukon, the management OF
