WALL STREET SEES DEFEAT.
Concludes Democratic Party Can Not
Win With Bryan Leading.

Win With Bryan Leading.
New York, July 10.-WaM street ao-
cepts William j. Bryan's defeat as a
foregone conclusion. His nomination,
therefore, is generally regarded with
favor among bankers and brokers', ir-
respective of their usual political af-
filiations.
so convinced Is Wall street that
Bryan will be defeated that the plat
form adopted at Denver aroused little
interest or comment. Bankers who
were asked to comment on the guar
anteed bank deposit clause and rail-
road regulation section Of the platform
as a rule declined to be quoted. They
said they preferred not to discuss Mr..
Bryan or the platform.
1T is the general belief in Wall street
that there will be several Bryan scares
during the campaign and that they
will be promoted by the stock gam
blers to suit their own purposes; also
that the republican program will
be to inaugurate a bull movement late
in the campaign.

diamonds Burn Like Coal.


The jeweler, at closing time, was put
ting his diamonds in huge safe.
But why do you bother to do that,
when two watchmen walk the shop all
night long?"
''on account of fire." the jeweler re-
piled. Diamonds are nothing but coal
.-carbon--they burn beautifully. Their
hardness makes us think them inde-
structible, but, as a matter of fact, q
fire of diamonds would be the briskest,
prettiest thing in the world.
Put a handful of diamonds on a
plate and set light to them. They
will burn with hard, gem-like flame
till nothing is left. There will be no
smoke, no SCOT, and at the end the
plate will be as clean as tho just wash
ed-not the slightest particle even of
ash will remain"
