TOMORROW A BRYAN DATE
Will Be Anniversary of His Great
Speech for Silver.
Twelve Years Ago He Pronounced
His Dictum Concerning Grown of
ThOrns" and "CrOss of Gold"

1t will be twelve years tomorrow since
William jennings Bryan gave utter
ance TO his famous Grown Of thorns
and cross of gold remark
While much has been made Of the fact
that Mr. Bryan attended the Chicago
Democratic national convention OF July
T. 1896, as a Representative" of the
Omaha (Nebr) World-Herald. it is also
true that he was an active and some
what influential personality in the con-
vention from the start.
Sentiment among the silver men"
wrote New York Tribune correspondent
as early as July ,, five days before the
great Democratic gathering was first
called 10 order. "crystallze6 to-day IN
favor Of either Gov. Stone, OF Missouri.
or W. J. Bryan, Of Nebraska. as tenn
porary chairman"
The first test vote. also. which showed
the comparative strength Of the gold and
silver forces in the national committee.
threw out the Bryan, or silver delega-
ton, from Nebraska. and seated the hard
money contestants This result was re-
versed by a vote of the convention. and
Mr.. Bryan became the full-hedged and
officially recognized leader OF his States
representation in the memorable scenes
which afterward occurred.
On July S, or the second day the same
New York correspondent telegraphed that
Wv. J. Bryan IS considered by some a
compromise candidate for President His
face is wreathed In smiles" said the
scribe. ."and he spent yesterday IN per-
sonally obtaining signatures TO a petition
which called for a new affirmation Of the
principles OF the Monroe doctrine"
on the conventions third day the plat
form, with its silver plank. was adopted
Against this particular declaration in
favor Of the baser metal David B. Hill
made the great speech Of his life. II
was Bryan who. by common consent, nc
came the silver champion. When the
boy orator OF the Platte" declared that
the humblest citizen In the land. when
clad I'm the armor Of righteousness, IS
stronger than all the hosts Of error" he
pertinence and forcefulness Of the SEN
tence completely captured the cheering
delegates. In closing this most notable
address in one Of the most historic gath
erings Of the nations Democrats, Bryan
dramatically declared:
You shall not press down upon the
brow OF labor this crown Of thorns. You
shall not cruelty mankind upon a cross
Of gold"

OF heat the water in the Potomac fairly
steamed. Warm water poured out of the
mouths Of the park fountain imps, and
stray dogs turned away in disgust after
Jap or two. II was too warm in the
parks for the squirrels ts crack nuts.
Relief Cloud Came.
But the inevitable end came. Last even
ing a storm cloud rose up in the west,

heralded by a breeze as cooling as a
mint julep. Then came a descent Of rain

RATS CUT FIRE ALARM WIRES
Gnaw Into Lead Pipe and Sewer on
Entire Circuit.
Eighteen Boxes Put Out of Commits
sion and section of City Placed
in Helpless Condition.

/ II II takes a hen and a half day and a
half to lay an egg and half. how long
will it take a well-fed rat. the champion
gnawer Of his tribe. to chew a slit through
a lead pipe an eighth of an inch thick?
This is a question which is puzzling the
officials Of the fire-alarm department Of
the District
Early yesterday morning the man on
duty at the alarm headquarters suddenly
sat up and took notice when one Of the
circuits was suddenly disconnected. IL
was one controlling about eighteen fire
alarm boxes. Men were sent out at once
20 ascertain the cause Of the trouble. and
after a diligent search discovered that
the connections at box at the corner OF
Ninth and b streets northwest apparently
had been cut.
Closer investigation revealed the fact
that a master member Of the Amaiga-
mated Association of Rodent Pests had
made a gum-shoe attack on the lead pipe
which incases the five wires leading from
the ground up 10 the box, and. TO the
everlasting geneft Of the leading dentist
in Rattown. had tapped the pipe for about
three inches and severed the wires.
James c. Simpson. who is in charge OF
the fire alarm station in the District
Building. exhibited the section Of piping
yesterday which had been removed, Il
showed plainly the marks Of the rats
teeth. Mr.. Simpson said that the box
affected was in the immediate district
where one OF the large fires OF Monday
night occurred, and had anyone attempted
70 turn In an alarm from that box. or any
other one Of the seventeen remaining
boxes on that circuit, Il would not have
registered.
The electricians have not yet had time
20 get into the conduit under ground and
clean ii. As the wire was carrying sew
enty-iive volts at the time OF the discon-
nection. II Is possible that the casualties
in the little party which conducted the
chewing bee were rather heavy.

DISSAPROVE
HANGING
Indian and Ask Board to
Commute the Death
Sentence.

An effort is now being made by
number of people to have the State
, Board of Pardons take action in the
case of Buckaroo Jack, the Indiai.
sentenced to be hanged at the State
Prison on the 18th day of next month.
The claim is being made that the in
dian in the murder Of his wife. had
tut followed out the teachings Of his
race and while punishment should be
dealt him the death sentence is too
severe.
Under the customs of the Indians
death is the reward for a woman who
proves unfaithful to her husband. 1t
was for this reason that Jack killed
his squaw after she had left him iJr
another member of the tribe with
whom she was living at the time OF
the murder.
Whether the Board will take any
action in the matter is not known BAT
at any rate nothing will probably be
done until after election.
1t is also said that number of
people in the section where the
crime was committed and where Jack
is well known are back of the move
ment to save him from the gallows.
