Concert on Capitol Grounds.

A concert on the capitol grounds was
the next~feature, which was carried out
with a vim. and then the candidate was
taken to the Auditorium, which was
crowded with women, presided over by
Mrs. Sheldon. wife of the governor.
Here Mr.. Taft made one of his charac-
teristic talks, which was received most
enthusiastically. After dinner at the
home of Governor Sheldon, he returned
to head a parade which escorted him
again 10 the Auditorium, where the
speech of the day was delivered. AT
the capitol grounds Governor Cummins

was heartily cheered for his position
regarding Republican policies.

Insanity Plea.

His attorneys are endeavoring to
prove that Ennis was laboring under
emotional insanity at the time of the
firing Of the fatal shot; that for some
years he has been suffering from a dis
ease of the optic nerve, which had so
weakened his brain as to make him
liable under stress of a sudden shock
to temporary insanity; that the knowl-
edge that his old friend had ruined his
daughter had produced his condition.
The states attorneys are fighting
against the introduction of testimony
along this line, but the famous prece-
dent established in the Thaw case of
which the Ennis case is almost an ex-
act counterpart so far as the elements
of proof and pleadings are concerned,
makes it possible that every fact which
may tend to enlighten the jury will be
brought out.
Story of the Girl.
On the stand today the girl testified
that in November of last year Davies
enticed her into his cabin and accom-
plished her ruin. When her child was
born she divulged TO her mother it's al
legged paternity. Her mother told her
father, and during the heat OF passion
or while laboring under emotional in
sanity, Ennis killed the man whom his
daughter had named.
A legal battle is being fought over
technical points. The state is attempt
ing to show that the girls reputation
was bad, and that her parents knew it.
The defense is relying solely upon proof
That Ennis was told the name of the
author of his daughters dishonor and
that he invoked the unwritten law
while emotionally insane, and that
therefore he is exempt from punish
ment. Technically, the case is follow
ing exactly the lines of the famous
Thaw trial.

QUORUM.
Met Monday, According to Law, But

MUST WEAR COATS IN
MATAMOROS PLAZA.
Mayor of Heroic City Tabooes the
Coatless Man at the Semi-Week-
Iy Military Band Concerts.

No more will the comfort loving
Americana be permitted to enjoy the
delightful strains of muic discoursed
by the Mexican Cavalry Band in the
Plaza de Hidalgo of the Heroic City
of Matamoros, without his coat. A
law has been adopted by the authori-
ties of our sister city prohibiting the
admission of men without coats to
the park during the semi-weekly con-
certs, and the person who happens to
stray into the plaza hereafter without
his coat on will be notified by the po-
lice that the plaza is not for the likes
o him. He may perhaps be permit
ted to hang over the fence or stand
out on the sidewalk and enjoy the
music from afar, but he cannot have
the privilege of strolling among the
throng of pleasure seekers or resting
his weary frame on the seats within
the precincts of the plaza, while the
concerts are in progress.
1t is understood that the new rul-
ing was put into effect by Mayor Soils
of Matamoros, because of the fact
that so many Americans from this
side have gotten into the habit of at
tending these semi-weekly concerts
in neglige costume, which is not con-
sidered the proper thing. The ladies
of Matamoros are said to have com
planned of the lack of ceremony char
acterizing the shirt-sleeve contingent
from this side of the river, and the
new order was the result.
No doubt the new order will be OBJ
served cheerfully by the Americans.
as they appreciate too highly the priv
ilege of listening to the fine music
by the Second Cavalry band to be will
ling to forego the pleasure of hearing
it 1t is doubtless true that nothing
was farther from the minds of those
who have been in the habit of going
to the park in the neglige costume
than any idea of showing disrespect
for their hosts, the citizens of Mata-
moros, by so doing. 1t is also true,
that the citizenship of Mata-
moros comprises some of the most
elegant people, who are both cour-
teous and refined. Quite naturally a
people of such character, who are al
ways inclined, in any event, to be ex-
tremely punctilious in the observance
of etiquette, might object to having
their semi-weekly paseo in the beauti-
full pleasure park of the city marred
by the commingling of persons to
have too little regard for appear
ances. While it is much more COM
Portable, of course, to go without
ones coat in warm weather, it should
be remembered that there are times
when such disregard of conventions
is not permissible.

BRYAN, THE MAN.

Whether he ever sits in the presi-
Dental chair or not. William Jen-
nings Bryan will surely go
down in the annals of the United
States as a remarkable man, and in
many respects a great one. His hold
upon the confidence and esteem of
the masses of the democratic party,
in the face of the fact that the party
has been defeated twice under his
leadership, is nothing short of re-
markable The fact that, in all the
twelve years that he has been in the
fierce glare of publicity, his every act
known and seen OF all men, and yet
not one slight blemish discovered in
his record, makes him one man in
many thousands, and one of whom
his party may be proud.
When VIM. Mckinley took the
presidential chair the first time, the
nation knew that VIM. j. Bryan had
fully one hundred thousand more
votes, counting the popular vote, than
Mckinley had received for the same
high Office. Thus, while it may look
like blind faulty for the party to
again pin its fortunes to a man who
has been twice defeated for the presi-
dency, yet they are well aware that
Bryan really was then and is no
doubt still the choice of the majority
of the American people for president,
and the party cannot be blamed for
hoping that fortune may yet favor
the peoples choice against that of the
corporations. In this respect, Mr..
Bryan stands with the great Samuel
J. Tilden, who was chosen president,
and had the Office wrested from him,
a man who was never chosen by vote
to fill the Office of president, being
installed in his stead as ruler of the
nation.
Even republicans in numerous
prominent instances yield to the Ne
braskan their warm admiration, and |
say that, should he be made presi-
dent, they do not doubt that he would
give the country clean and able ad-
ministration.
Bryan's advocacy of free silver may
be held up against him by gold stand
ard advocates, but they cannot deny
that President Mckinley himself,
when a member of congress, also adj
vocated the free coinage of silver.
And no matter what policy Mr. Bryan
or the party have advocated in the
past, dead issues cut no figure in the
campaign of today All must admit
that the party has put forth a strong
platform which advocates principles
that ring true.
