Archery by Mail.

Playing chess by cable is a thor
oughly familiar feature of that game
in this part of the world, but playing
active outdoor match games by mail
is a new thing in the way of sporting
contests. Out in Atchison, Kan.
there is an archery club that recent

shooting on its own grounds and mail
ing the scores to their opponents on

Science has never gone beyond the

it has illuminated that statement and
given it meaning ever broadening with
the increasing breadth of knowledge.
When the blood is Ubad or impure it

through disease. The brain is also

ANTI BRYAN MEN
DISAPPOINTED
New York Cannot Go Fo0Iishly Against
Ncbraskan -liaS Strong Lead.

Washington Maz 7.-Aceordin4 to
III" talk heard here among the New
York Democratic congressman. Boss
Murphy, OF TMnmany, and "Fingy"
/ Corners, OF Buffalo, Will not be able
10 mnzzle the Empire state DELEGATION
at Denver 10 such an extent that il
can be cast in any event
soIidE against Hon. William
/ Jennings Bryan. They say that there
are d great many Bryan men in thar
delegation, and the first thing Murphy
and Corners know they may find
majority breaking away from thir die
tation
From what can be learned here. ex-
Senator Jim Smith, of New jersey,
seems to have his picked delegation
pretty well in hand. Mr.. Davis. who
leads the Democrats of Hudson eOun-
ty, is an ardent supporter Of Mr.. Bryan,
but he is only district delegate, Boss
Smith not having permitted him to 90
as a delegate-at-large Smith VII be
able to swing the New Jersey delegates
as he pleases at Denver, and of course
it is expected that he will vote them
against Mr.. Bryan if there is any
chance to prevent his nomination mn
der the two thirds rule
The best information obtainable here
is that in Pennsylvania, in spite of the
aims Of Col jim Guffey, Mr.. Bryan
will have a number of delegates. MI
Bryan has some strong friends up that
way, one of them being eX-Congress-
man James Kerr, who for two terms
was clerk of the house of representa-
tives.
1t is very CALLING to the anti-Bryan
workers that the South and West seem
to be solid for Mr.. Bryan. The plot
ters against his nomination had hoped
that there would be demand in the
South for Judge Gray and Senator
Culberson, so as to give encourage
ment to the movement in Pennsylva'
MIA and New York. Senator Culber-
son simply laughs at all mention o!
his name. and has never thought 70,
a moment that he had any chance Of
being nominated.
Judge Gray recent letter threw
cold water Oh his handful of boomers
in the little state OF Delaware. and
his friends say that he is literally dis
gusted over the fuss that few men
are making over him.
The opposition fellows do not seem
to be able to make any Roadway in
Ohio and the Ohio Democrats in con-
gress predict that Bryan will have the
Buckeye delegation pretty solidly.
The instructions OF Illinois, Indiana
and Iowa for Mr.. Bryan gave his OPP
ponents cold chills.
Attention is frequently called to the
fact that the opposition to Mr.. Bryan
in the Democratic party is very much
like that in the Republican party to
Secretary Taft-it comes chiefly from
the two largest states in the union.
The prevailing belief among Democrats
is that the masses of the people, SO
far as Democrats are concerned, in
New York and Pennsylvania, are as
much in favor of the nomination Of Mr..
Bryan as are the rank and file Of the
Republicans in the same states Of
either Secretary Taft or President
Roosevelt Hughes and Knox are
looked upon as mere figureheads.
