BRYAN DELIVERS
A GOOD SERMON
ADDRESSES CONGREGATIONAL
CLUB IN CHICAGO AND MAKES
MINISTER'S ENvIoUs.

Chicago, Jan. 81. w. J. Bryan,
twice defeated for the presidency.
and again an aspirant, laid aside his
role Of political orator Sunday night
long enough to preach genuine ser
mon on Christianity at the twenty
fifth annual banquet of the Congrege-
tional club at the Auditorium.
He promised not to speak of poll
fact that it was the clubs silver an
niversary to warrant depression into
political fields, at least far enough to
comment on his chances of getting a
fourth nomination should he be de-
feated again during the coming cam
paign.
At Home With congregationalists.
Il feel right at home in a Congre-
gational gathering he began, be
cause my father was Methodist, my
mother Baptist, and l am Presby,
terrain. But | feel friendly toward
your church because you have dem.
ocratic form of government In fact,
l have often wondered why people
who were wise enough to apply demo
crazy to religion should seem SO ig-
norant when they go beyond religion
Much as am interested in the
science of government. am more In,
terested In religion. Much as | like
to speak on politics, 1 prefer to make
religious speech. 1 spoke in a
church six years before l made po
litical speech, and l snail speak in
the church long after I have gone out
of politics.
cit is better to have run and lost
than never to have run at ALL l have
carefully studied history, and l find
that very few men have been defeat
ed for the presidency a third time
And, if I am defeated again, I shall
have an absolutely clear field the next
time, for nobody has ever been de
feated four times.
Good Speech Like Sermon.
81 have often been told that 1 put
too much religion into my speeches
Well. really. there is SO little differ
ence between good democratic
speech and a good sermon that you
can't tell them apart. And, therefore
l shall now preach you sermon
And then Mr.. Bryan preached q
genuine sermon that made the hun
dred or more ministers who were
springfield throughout the audience
genuinely envious
He pleaded for Christianit as a
practical religion.
Il have faith and am an optimist.'
he said. MY faith and my optimism
rest in the belief that year after year
we are more and more applying to
everyday problems of the world the
doctrines of Jesus Christ. Christian
teachings are eminently practical"

MOTHER ALSO
TO MARRY TITLE
MRS. vANDERBILTs WEDDING, IT
is REPORTED, WILL FOL-
LOW DAUGHTERS.

New York. Jan. 81 The general
impression is that the wedding of
Miss Vanderbilt to Count Szechenyi
of Hungary will be Immediately fol
lowed by the announcement of the en-
gagement of her mother, Mrs Wander
bilt, to another nobleman. An annual
income of $250,00O was left to Mrs.
Vanderbilt by her late husband, in ad-
dition to New York and Newport es-
Establishments. She is said to have had
several millions settled on her dur
ing her life and she has big fortune
in jewels.
Mrs. Vanderbilt and Miss Wander
bilt became foreign in their procliv-
tiles after the demise of Mr.. Wander
bilt, under the guidance of Mrs. Rob-
ert Goelet. They spent some months
for three consecutive seasons with
Mrs. Goelet cruising on her yacht,
Nahma. in foreign waters.
Mrs. Goelet has entertained foreign
titled guests on her yacht and also
royalty when at anchor in different
ports. Mrs. Goelet. who returned
from Europe to attend the wedding of
her niece, Miss Warren, will be pres
ent also at that of Miss Vanderbilt to
the Count Szechenyi William Edgar
Sheppard, whose wife is a sister of
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sr.. said
over the telephone that his wife takes
no stock in the story that Mrs. Van
derbilt is to marry titled foreigner.
"We are both convinced that it is a
fake" he said. "Of course, all things
are possible, but this marriage is not
probable. Mrs Vanderbilt would be
likely to tell her sister something
about it if it is contemplated, but she
has said nothing that would indicate
there is any truth in the story"

SOME
 AT WRANGELL

That wind which came up last Thursday afternoon and continued un- tll the next morning was the worst in the recollection of the oldest in- habltant." At the saw mill lumber was blown from the piles and thrown promiscuously around the yard; two joints were carried away from the smoke stack of the electric light plant and the big woodshed was almost di- vested of it's roof; the steamer An telope was carried away from her anchorage and blown high and dry on the beach; tn spruce tree which stood in the garden at the custom house was blown down; the land scape. as viewed from the residence of c. NJ. Coulter, was changed by the of a small structure which had stood overhanging the beach for many years; the heavy sea carried away the approach to the floating dock, leaving that conyen- fence in a useless condition. Other minor damage was done, but as every body escaped being injured by flying boards and shingles, they considered themselves fortunate.-Wrangell Sen rinell.

 It was the first trip of the team and the first consignment of concen- trates from the mill at Conrad to the railroad at Caribou. The team was a fine one and valuable.
