preston and that action shall be taken
for its best interest.
Il do not seek Office nor shall | at
tempt to influence the selection or
vote Of any delegate The state ad-

citation of the confidence and esteem
which prompt the efforts of those who
sincerely desire to bring it about. The
matter is one for. the party to decide,
and whatever its decision ] shall be
content"

THE REVOLUTION IN HAYTI
inside Light on the Financing of It
May Be Revealed.

New York, Jan. 21.--Inside lights on
the financing of the Haytian revolu-
ton now in progress will likely be
unfolded as a result of the arrest Of
Joseph Giordain, who was taken into
custody by United States secret
service men and arraigned before
Commissioner Shields charged with
the counterfeiting of the paper cur
rency of the Haytian government. The
arrest was effected under the person
al direction of Chief Wilkie of the
secret service. 1t was said there was
more behind the arrest than the ale
cation of counterfeiting. Giordain
pleaded not guilty and was held under
$500 bonds for examination on Feb.
49,, ,.,. IA. n
Giordain is charged with counter
feiting 10000 81 and 81 bills of the
Haytian government. Through his
counsel, Giordain asserts that he made
no attempt to counterfeit the currency
of the present Hayrian government,
but made the Haytian paper money
several years ago under an authoriza-
tion of the government constituted I'M
der the revolution of General Fermin.
According to the complaint, Giordain
had engraved by a. local bank note
company S1,5O0,000 in bills of the pro-
posed Haytian government. One-half
of this money was sent to Hayti to
pay off the troops of General Fermin.
The revolution collapsed and the revo-
lutionary currency was burned on it's
arrival Giordain, it is charged, stored
the remainder of the bills in a local
warehouse. @
The recent Haytial revolution, it Is
asserted by the detectives, has
brought into existence again the old
proposed Haytian government, which
was behind the currency that Gior-
dian had had made, ard arrangements
were being made to- forward the bills
to pay off the insurgent troops. Coun-
sci for Ciordain state that no attempt
has been made to counterfeit the bills
of the existing government.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 22-The climax
Of ". j. Rryan's visit to Frankfort
was reached when he spoke to the
ture behind closed doors, advocating
the election of Former Governor
Beckham as United States senator
Mr.. Bryan said neither Governor
Beckham nor anybody else had invited
him to Frankfort.
lie declared he had no fears for
himself. He said he was told in the
Goebel campaign that he might hurt
himself if he came to Kentucky.
81 am not afraid of hurting myself
when the interests of the Democratic
party are at stake" said Mr.. Bryan.
81 might be candidate this year,
he said 81 do not know. Only two
delegates have been elected and they
have been instructed for me, but they
are not enough to elect me. If what
say here affects my chance of cleo
ton it is not sufficient bride to keep
my mouth closed. I am in the habit

not for Beckham, but for the Demo

SERIOUS RIOTS OCCUR
Many Persons Wounded by
the Police in Berlin.
OFFICERS USE THEIR SABERS
Compelled to Resort to Drastic Meas
ures to Dispense Rioters, Who Threw
Bricks at the Policemen and Injured
Some of Them.

Some OF Them.
Berlin, JAN 22.-Serious rioting oc.
Cured in the vicinity of the reich
stag building, where the Socialists
Interpolation regarding the Prussian
suffrage system was scheduled to
come up. Some 1000 persons, mostly
unemployed men and half-grown boys,
marched through the streets intending
to reach the reichstag, but found the
bridges over the Spree strongly occu.
pied by police, who soon summoned
a mounted division to assist in dis
persing the crowd.
The crowd then assembled at a
point nearest the reichstag building
on the opposite bank of the river,
from which they kept up prolonged
hooting. The police attempted to dis
perse the demonstrators by pushing
side streets. When part of the mob
reached the new opera house now
under course of construction they
found piles of bricks and they began
to hurl bricks at the police, who there
upon drew their sabers, striking here
and there among the rioters with the
flat of the blade. A boy fired pistol,
the bullet striking policeman, but
not seriously injuring him. Workmen
in the upper stories of the theater
threw brick bats down upon the po-
lice, who in turn charged savagely up
on. those of the rioters that they could
reach.
Many Of the Rioters Wounded.
After the fight a large number of
the rioters were unable to move, hav-
ing been too severely wounded by
the officers. Sixteen of them were
carried to a nearby charity hospital
and many others managed to make
their way there with some assistance
to have their wounds treated. Extra
surgeons had to be summoned to as
sist in the work. Some of the in
jured men and boys are in serious
condition. They were cut mainly
about the head and arms, but several
of them had been stabbed through
the chest. Those. who were least Sc
riously injured made their escape to
other quarters.
Ten policemen went to headquarters
for treatment, having been bruised
and cut by bricks and stones. One
had a wrist broken. The police made
only few arrests, as they were I'M
able to spare the men to take prison
ers to the stations.
Later another demonstration occur
red in koeniggraetzer, about a mile
distant from the reichstag building,
where about 500 persons started Sc
rious rioting. Before they succeeded
in doing much damage. however, the
police there were reinforced strong
ly. They made several arrests and
dispersed the crowd.
From estimates made at a number
of meetings of the unemployed it ep.
pears that there are about 60 900 men
without work in Berlin.

II. II. Riddle, who holds that strange
degree. bachelor of medicine, granted
bv Cambridge University, England has
been concerning himself with the prob
lem of the athlete in after life. The
I,ondoners a short time ago watched the
OLYMPIC games and grOaned at the dis
tressins spectacle OF DCTando. almost
expiriug at tae finish line in the Mara
thon run. Many Of them must have
wondered whether nature would exact
no penalty from that poor fellow for
such a terrible strain as he had put
upon his body. What does nature do
with all her athletes, in the after years
when they have given UP active sports
and have settled down TO the days OF
normal labor? Mr.. Riddle answers that
question. in this fashion. in the London
Mail.
OF all the thousands who have ap-
pIauded tft Olympic victoTs IN the past
fortnight there are probably very few
who did not envy the athletes more for
their superb physical condition than for
their hard-foHght victories over their
feIIow-competitors AS to the health
fuIness of these young men. the mere
fact that they are considered eligible TO
compete in such contests of physical
strength and endurance puts beyond
question the fact that, FOR the moment
al least, they must be in the most per-
feet physical condition modern mSts-ods
0f training can devise.
The phrase training to the minute"
is by no means an idle saying in the
case OF these young men. To get the
best results from their individual capa-
bilities I'm the different sports and trials
Of strength. their bodies are exercised
and their lungs, hearts and muscles are
worked until when 1t they are in q
very different state physically from that
of the average healthy young man
