PREDICTS BRYAN VICTORY.
"Philr SiIverthau Tells What He
 Hears on His Travels.

Philip Silverthau of New Haven, probably one of the most widely known jewellers in the state, was in ,,Nka*esasuFy to~Gzy on fis weeisiF sistf and had great news for democrats.
 Speaking to Democrat reporter he said Bryan will be elected as sure- ly as he was nominated.
 "I was speaking to man way mp In Elkdom in Philadelphia the other day" said Mir Silverthau, and he told me that there are 100000 men out of work in that city and there is no immediate or even remote pros pect of them getting work. He said to me also" said the jeweler, that the Baldwin Locomotive Works Isu- ally employs about 19,000 men, and at present there is hardly 5000 working there. There is not an order for a locomotive on hand and none are expected.
 "As to things in the state," went on the jeweler, T think 1t would be wise thing for the democrats to run Mayor Tom Reilly of Meriden for ngressman-at-large. Every where I go I heard good things said of MT Reilly and I know that he would take the nomination with a great deal of pleasure. Everybody says he would win and there is no question but that every Elk in the state, of which society he is a mem mer. would vote for him. That would be big vote and would mean his election beyond a doubt.
 From what hear in my own town, New Haven, 1 think Robert son will be the nominee for governor. He would be flrst-elass candidate and would surely win. This is the year when the democrats will sweep everything to successful close. The people at large have seen the fallacy of voting for republicans and keeping republicans in power right along. This was a good democratic state one time and 1t will be again when the right kind of men for state ofll. cers are nominated As for the na. tional election Bryan will win. Ey. erybody says so and everybody was never yet mistaken. The men whC are out of work and see no chance of getting any will surely not vot, for a policy that promised them good times and failed to keep its promise The men who are working short time see now that politicians cannot keep them in a steady job and thIi all the promises made by the stumT speakers four years ago were all non, sense.
 ''I meet with lots of people in my travels throughout the state and business men from the south and west. and a good many from the mid de east. all say that Bryan will bs elected"

TO BE A MASON.
Alluring Offer Set Forth in Adyer-
 tisement Catches a Few.

5 tlstiutut iS"s
 New Haven, July 30.-An adver- tisement which has appeared in some of the local papers has caused some of the leading members of the Ma sonic fraternity here to make an in- vestigation with the result that a scheme has been found by which many people have been Induced to join an order and become what the promoter pleases to term Free Ma sons." The advertisement is as fol- lows:
 100 men wanted to become Free Masons Reduced rates while char ter is opened. Box D. P. NJ, Regis ter" 4"
 When it was found that those join ing thought they were becoming members of the regular order O. Ma sons the matter was reported to Chlet of Police Cowles and he sent out De- tective McAvoy to investigate. The sleuth's work established the fact that the Free Masons' advertised had not the slightest connection with the regular order and those who have paid $10, $15 and s25 with the be- lief that they were to become mem- bers of the oldest secret order in the world had been deceived or had de- ceived themselves. It was also found that the promoter, who is alleged to be a Darius Wilson of Boston, deal CT in badges. regalias, etc, was not breaking any criminal law and was not liable to arrest, although an in junction might be issued to restrain him.
