GROSS EXAMINATION
 OF CONVICT BLAKE
Hangs To His Original Story Against Ruef's Attorneys.

San Francisco, Dec. 7.-The cross examination of E. A. s Blake, the wit ness of whose confession made in open court, directly duplicates Attorneys Frank !. Murphy and A. $. Newburgh in an alleged attempt to bribe a pros pective RUef juror. j. M. Kelley, was conducted today by Attorney Schlesin- ger at great length, on the resumption of the Murphy trial. An attempt was made to establish a record of friend ship between Blake and Brick Me Phorson. whose record is said not to be good and who has been in Blake's employe.
 The witness declared however, that he merely employed McPherson as he would any other man to solicit build ing contracts for the Blake Construc- tion company. agreeing to pay him commission on all contracts he secur- ed.
 In response to questions Blake went into the details of his various business enterprises which he admitted could be conducted under various names. He again went over the story of his inter views with Murphy and Newburgh, and his talks with Kelley in regard to the Ruef trial. his testimony not diff fering materially from that given on direct examination.

 The old lady, throughout the remainder of the service. neither said nor did any thing that was further enliGhteuing Sue was alone in her pew, but there were many other vacant seats in the church.

Two Interpretations.

 The other girl hestated a while before replying. It was evident she was think ing hard.
 ''l am not so sure about that, dear" she finally replied very gently. Don't you think inc old lady merely meant 10 make the usher feel at liberty to seat visitors in her pew If he cared to? If, remember rightly her words were: T ;&h Co be the only one in this pew Ns morn Ing. Don't forget, please! You see bow it can be interpreted in that way? And then. tco. remember the usher's reply: Thank you, madam, he said. Now, he either took her remark in the right spirit, or else he Is an unusually tactful man

The Cost of Running a
 Big Hotel.

70 HERE are others besides the very
 poor 10 whom even a slight rise In 1- the price of any article of food Is q matter Of grave concern.
 There Is the hotel manager, for In, stance In one of the New York hotels. and that not the largest. the annual ccr- sumption of flesh, fish and fowl is a. follows:
 Meat. 4OO,Om lbs.
 Game and poultry.... 120,O0n lbs.
 Eggs. gs.........-.-... 54O,OOO
 To the proprietors of that hotel an h. crease of five cents a pound in the price of meat means an increase Of twenty thousand dollars year in the butchers bill.
 glimpse at the other items of the hotel accounts reveals some interesting facts.
 The number of breakfasts served in the course of the year is sixty thousand; the number of dinners and suppers Is about four times as many. The number Of servants employed Is about five hundred. and the weekly cost of their breakages about two hundred dollars.
 The total cost of running the business is about S6OO.O0O year.
 The conduct of an enterprise of this magnitude and complexity must be al most as arduOus as the conduct of newspaper.

n BOARDING every deed and every word Of anyone, two Interpretations are always possible-the right or the wrong one. the charitable or the un- charitable. To always sec the right, the charitable one. is impossible. To see the wrong, the uncharltabe one. Is easy. The average man and tEe average woman are. or try to be. just and charitable. But many man and many a woman are prone to unthiukingly misiuterpret h. ceed' there are many men and many women who rarely interpret things aright. simply because they-allow their minds to get in the habit of looking for and expecting the uukiud. the unrharitable. in everyone else. IL IS all a question of viewpoint-and ones viewpoint is en- tirely within the control Of ones mind. Of all times the Christmas season Is the one in which it should be easiest to re- solve to judge others kindly. or. rather. not to judge at all until both lnterpreta- tiOns have been weighed most carefully.

Cutters Full Of Liquor

mond, Indiana, ran brimming with
liquor yesterday. Derelicts from the
city's slums fell over each other in a
fight to drink from the foaming cur
rent. Thousands of other men and
women cheered as barrels Of beer were
poured into the sewers and bottles of
wine were cracked and tossed on the
city dump.
Four thousand dollars worth Of
liquor was spilled by the authorities
as a wholesale libation to the county
option law. The wine and beer had
been seized TWO months ago in a raid
on four "bliud tigers near Whiting.
The liquor had been kept stored in
the basemen, Of the city hall. 1t was
destroyed by orders of Judge Reitter.

CANNED ORATORY.

The introduction of canned oratory
as a feature of political campaigns
many result in embarras sment to can.
didates who abandon so-called par
amount issues, and would prefer that
the public forget some Of their former
oratorical efforts. 1t is fortunate for
Mr.. Bryan that ONE Of his speeches
in former campaigns were not pre-
served on photograph records, for re.
production in the present and future
political contests-speeches which, in
the light of subsequent events, would
be received with ridicule and condem,
nation by intelligent voters.
The photographic reproduction of
some of these remarks, in the sonorous
and familiar voice of their author,
would afford or less entertain
ment to the public at the present time.
In view Of MIR. organs reputation of
the free silver issue, the following en-
tracts form one of his former speeches
should from part of the canned
Oratory program:
1.-THE gold standard means dearer
money: dearer money means cheaper
property: cheaper property means
harder times: harder times means more
people out OF work: many people out
OF work means o people destitute:
rnnrn nnnp1n Anctttr$N >>Dr ,~.,
people desperate: more people desper-
ate means more crime"
Another contribution is furnished
in a speech delivered at Memphis,
Tenn, N October 5, 1896, in which
MIR. Bryan made this solemn pledge:
81 want to tell you what | told
others: That il you think the gold
standard is absolutely necessary to
the welfare Of this country, you make
a great mistake If you vote for me,
because, il | a help it, the gold
standard won't stay in this country
for Il moment
y further declaration upon the same
suplect, anu 10 similar effect. vas

the gold standard is a good thing, or
that it must be maintained, | warn
him not to cast his vote for me, be.
cause | promise him it will no, be
maintained in the country longer than
| am able to get rid of it,
While these quotations from Mr..
organs former speeches cannot bt
given in the form of canned ora,ory,
they are on record in public print,
and deserve attention at the preseu,
