BRYAN is
OUT: OF IT
WILL NOT RUN FOR PRESIDENT
~ ROOSEVELT rs RE
NOMINATED.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May ga
special dispatch from Lincoln, Neb.,
states that William J. Bryan's friends
say with great pOsitiveness that he
win not accept a nomination from the
Democratic party II President Roose-
welt is renominated. Those close to
Mr.. Bryan say that he has made this
statement
Mr. Bryan, while he has so far re-
fused an absolute Endorsement OF Pres
ident Roosevelt, feels, it is said. that
he more nearly represents the extreme
radical policies which Mr.. Bryan stood
forni1SS6 and 19OOthan any other man.
He does no; recognize Mr. Roosevelt
as a Democrat, but insists that he is
a much better Dc-aocrst and Populist
than any other Republican.
Mr.. Bryan feels, according TO the dis
patch, that President Roosevelt is pro-
crossing so rapidly toward the radical
stand which he himself took in his
two campaigns that no harm can be
done the Democratic party's principles
by giving Mr.. Roosevelt an uncon-
tested election, so far as the Democ-
racy is concerned.
This dispatch has created a furOre
among Democrats in Washington. Sew
eral leading members of the party,
who happen to be here transacting
business before the departments, de-
clare that inasmuch as Mr. Bryan has
twice been the standard-bearer of the
Democracy, receiving each time the
cordial support of the South. they are
at a loss to understand how he could
advocate the election of Republi-
can who stands not only for every
principle of Republicanism, but Popu-
ism and Socialism as well. They de-
clare in unmeasured terms that Mr..
Roosevelt is anything but Democrat;
that he stands for the encouragement
of negro social and political equality
and for every other policy hostile to
Southern Democratic ideas.

Some dew Stories About the Old

Sara K Wiley, girl friend OF the
ever-lamented Frank Stockton, has
contributed to the Ladies Home
Journal for April some very interest
ing and eminently characteristic
anecdotes of the well-beloved author.
On the now, alas, forever to be un-
raveled mystery OF the Lady or the
Tiger" Miss Wiley has this to say:
Then he told me of the thousands
of letters he had received about The
lady or the Tiger?' and how once at
reception, the hostess offered him
two ices, one shaped like lady and
one like tiger.
ID What did you do?'
al refused them BOTH
Il longed intensely to ask the fate

womanly compromise, Do-you-do

one must decide ii for himself. II
your yourself feel that the tiger came
out of that door, then for. you he did
come out
I'VE did not expect that this would
be tested the next day. The lady at
whose. cabin Mr. Stockton was visit
ing gave him an afternoon tea The
room was crowded with guests when
youthful and eccentric artist burst
suddenly in, with long hair flying
wildly, and, blocking Mr.. Stock
tons slight figure into corner by his
burly form, cried aloud:

quiet eyes to the heated face and
gently shaking his head said very
pityingly:

THE artist disappeared, overcome
amid roars of laughter"

A CITY OF
PRECIOUS STONES
Romance of Kimberley, Where Chill
dren Play With Diamonds.

A prosperous world expends every
year $25,00O,00O in rough diamonds
and such of them as do not come from
the mines of Kimberley may be con-
sidered a neglible quantity. A very
dreary town, this Kimberley, bumper
to the desolate African veldt that pro-
duces not an ear of corn. Little bet
ter than desert, IN fact, where arti-
fetal irrigation is everywhere neces-
sary.
The city streets. sketch like pro-
tecting arms around the precious
caves which in a few years, yielded
more than twelve tons weight Of dia-
monds. valued at half billion dollars
Look back on the story of this desert
patch and you have strange TO
nance. 1t begins with two little bands
of Boer migrants fleeing out
of Cape Colony a generation
ago to escape British oppres'
sion. One OF them by some
strang fate settled on a patch OF gold
forty miles in extent, which has since
become the famout Rand, and Yields
81 Oh. 000. 900 every year in the precious
metal.
On the other hand, Burgher Jacobs
off-caddled on 100 acres Of diamonds
and his little claim today contains an
absolute monopoly of the world IN
these gems. His children used &c
| play in the sand with bright pebbles
for marbles. Neighbor Schalk Van
Neikirk saw one of the stones, took il
from the little ones with the. remark
that it might be valuable. and the fol
lowing year it was on show at the Uni
versal Exposition of Paris as a mag
nificent diamond of q karats.
Two years later old Van Neikirh
himself picked out of the mud plaster
of Neighbor Du Tolt's hut the famous
Star of Africa" which sold for $50,
900. That was the beginning OF the
diamond mines which today employ

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 22.-The
feature of the night session of the
General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian Church was the minute
discussion of the constitutional ques-
ton and the declarations made by
Allen G, Hall, Ruling Elder and Dean
of the Law. Department of Vanderbilt
In closing he said:
Il am a layman and live in an age
of throbbing industrial development,
in the current of life, and am there
fore anxious to see the presbyterian
Church, South, go into some agree
ment, which will help take it out OF
it's isolation, get it out into the best
line current of life and wake it up
from it's dormant sleep.
THE Presbyterian Church, South,
is not doing what it ought to do. II
has been steadily retrogading these
last years. This great church OF ours
once had control of all this broad
southland, owned vast educational in
stitutions and had the possibility OF
claiming the whole country. Now we
are retrogading. We have allowed
perfect strangers to come in and out
strip us in every kind of church work,
while we have allowed our institutions
to go to ruin.
These are plain facts. You cant
stick your head in the sand and say 1t
is not SO, because we are isolated. sit
ting OFF to ourselves and declining to
get into the activities meant for us
by God. say this because believe
the time has come when men who live
in libraries and cloisters cannot direct
the currents of our church. but they
must be put in the hands OF men who
live In the world and hope this is
the start Of a great work to carry out
the purpose for which God intended
this church"

MASONIC D0INGS.

W. 4. Cavanagh' and the publisher of
the EXpositor drove to Capac Tuesday
afternoon and on the way picked up
Will Campbell and Simon Murphy of
Lynn. The object of our visit was to
attend a communication of Forest
Lodge No. 1876, F&AM that evening
when Pine Grove lodge No. IL, of Port
Huron conferred the third degree upon
John Meir, proprietor of the Hotel
Meir of Capac. About one hundred
Port Huron Masons were present, be-
sides large number from other cities
and towns who with the local lodge
members filled Masonic Hall to over
flowing. The work was exemplified
with credit to the officers and team of
Pine Grove lodge. After comforting
the degree short talks were made by
Benz. II. Whipple, Chas. +. Kean, G. G..
easier, III. Burton, VIM. F. Wagenseil,
Phil Eichhorn, John Endlich and
David Martin. Scotch songs were sung
by Samuel Cummings. An elaborate
banquet was served by Mr.. and Mrs.
Meir at their hotel and all were right
royalty entertained at this hostelry. 1t
was the universal verdict of the entire
assembly that Capac Masons know how
to take care of their guests and the oc-
casion will always be remembered with
pleasure.
Last evening was one of pleasure and
profit to members of the fraternity who
attended the meeting held in Masonic
hall, Yale. 1t was previously announc.
ed that Brown City Lodge would con-
fer the third degree and large turn
out was the result. The lodge room
was crowded with jolly, jovial lot of
fellows and the evening passed pleas
antly indeed. The officers took their
parts well and the team work of the
Brown City lodge was certainly finely
executed. Before closing Worshipful
Master Cavanagh called on several for
short talks among whom were Beard,
Witt, Fitzpatrick and Weed of Brown
City, Reynolds and Meredith of Peck,
Cady and jerks of Port Huron. Each
one added good feeling and good cheer
to the occasion. 1t was then annOunc.
ed that lunch was ready at the Wilt
and Jackson Hotels. The brothers
seemed anxious to show what they
could do at the banquet tables and all
did Justice to the bountiful spreads set
by Landlords Wilt and Jackson. Good
nights were said and all retired feeling
better for being there.
