at Fairview today was the emphatic
denial given by William Jennings

MIA democracy in order TO achieve

but Kerr, and his supporters have
not come forward with the money.
Bryan declared he never heard of
any such offer or agreement, and he
suggested that the proper persons to
consult were members of a commit
tee on credentials, which decided the
Pennsylvania contests.
Bryan would not permit himself to
be drawn into a further discussion
with James w Van Cleave, president
of the manufacturers Association
who came out in the press today with
additional reasons why the business
men of the country should not sup

CHAPTER XIII.

An Impromptu Affair on the High Seas.
1t was hardly possible at first, even

or Strathgate had the better boat. In

continually on opposite courses, split.
ting tacks. the wind blowing straight
into the harbor, and it was not until
they had passed and repassed each
other several times that Darlington
became convinced that he was gain
ing on his antagonist. The gain how
ever, was slight one The differ
ence in the rate of sailing between
the two boats was not very great.
Both of them sailed faster than the
Flying Star in the air then prevail
ing. When the big ship got out into
the channel she would probably run
away from the two fishing boats with
out difficulty. The wind being as it
was necessitated hard beat out, and
again this gave the smaller vessels an
advantage, for they could hold on
where the great ship was compelled
to tack for fear of shoal water And
with every tack they gained distance.
Darlington studied the sea intently
and concluded that if the wind did not
shift and it did not come to blow hard
er than it was, there was every pros
pect that both boats would overhaul
the ship. Whether he could beat
Strathgate at that game, however, in
the time at his disposal was Il ques-
ton. At any rate there was nothing
to do but hold on. Master Haight had
viewed Carrington's usurpation Of the
helm with some misgiving at first,
but his distrust soon gave place to
admiration, for never was small
boat better handled than by the young
naval officer. If Darlington had been
sailing the cutter in race for stake
of 10000, he could not have watched
her more carefully Or handled her
more skillfully. He made everything
tell.
That worthy fisherman Cooper, who
was sailing Strathgate's boat, albeit
he did very well, was mere tyro com.
pared to Darlington. Indeed, Caring.
ton felt as if he were sailing his boat
for love, honor, happiness, revenge, all
the passions that can engrOss a heart
and move soul Strathgate was no
sailor. but after an hours rapid sailing
even he could see that eventually Car
rington would overhaul him. He
spoke of this to Cooper, wringing a
reluctant admission of the truth of
his conclusions from the sailor, but
the latter promised to put him along.

BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou.
sands Of Oevout Pilgrims.

Thousands Of pilgrims from the va
rious outlying villages and other parts
OF the Hooghly district poured in from
an early hour in the morning to the
temples of Jagernath, says the Cal
cutta Statesman.
The image Of the god is placed on
a conspicuous part Of the temple, so
that 1t can be viewed at an advantage
by the immense crowd Of pilgrims,
and there at a certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences.
The most curious part of the festi-
val Is that water is not poured on the
image Of the god until certain small
bird is found sitting on the topmost
banner Of the temple. There is a pop
ular belief that the bird comes from
Puri. the famous place Of Hindu pilgrim
age, to Maheoh on the day of this
festival. and his very presence is an
indication that the ceremony should
commence. Immediately after the
bath the bird disappears
