BRYCE MAKES COMMENT.
MACHINERY OF CONVENTIONS is
A MOST COMPLETE RECOGNI-
TON OF THE RIGHTS OF PEo-
PIE THAT HAS BEEN ATTAINED

Chicago, H., June 1S.-James Bryce,
Ambassador of Great Britain to the
United States, was the guest of honor
at a dinner at the Hamilton Club here
last night. Many of the distinguished
convention visitors were present at the
dinner. Ambassador Bryce said in
part:
Il have been watching with great in
terest, the proceedings of the great con-
vention which is meeting in your city.
have been struck by good many
things about it. did not write an
account of your government and insti-
tutions without having paid several
visits to this country, but it never was
my good fortune to see national con-
vention.
This machinery of conventions, as
you have 1t in this country, is the most
complete recognition of the rights OF
the people to which any country has
attained, because people not only at
elections say who shall be their Off
Gals, but in these party conventions
they determine who ought to be put
| forward as the representatives of par
| ties.
| Let me express on behalf of every
Englishman. who is proud that from
his country came those principles OF
self government which you are apply
ing here. the hope that the same sense
of the pre-eminent importance of main
tanning these cardinal principles Of
good government in the United State:
may be an example to all other coun

POISON KING"
IS At LIBERTY
Charles Wolfe Who Attempted
Suicide Is Out of the
Hospital.
GOES TO ANDERS ON .
MAN EXPRESSED DESIRE TO GO
THERE AND AS HE WAS NOT
WANTED HERE, TICKET WAS
PRovIDED-HIS RECORD.

Once again, Charles Wolfe. of at
tempted suicide fame, has been liberat-
ed and is free to pursue his uninter-
rupted series of attempts at self de-
struction. He was released from Reid
Memorial hospital yesterday and pro-
vided with a charity ticket to Ander-
son, where he said he wished to go. His
presence was not particularly cared for
here and it is probable he would have
been prosecuted had he remained here
long enough to regain his strength.
Wolfe is painter and paper hanger,
who came to this city several weeks
ago from Greensburg. While at
Greensburg he attempted self destruc-
ton. Previously he had tried suicide
at Connersville. Late one Saturday
night he was found sprawling on the
side walk in front of The Palladium
office He was removed to the hospit'
al and investigation revealed the fact
he had taken poison. Emetics were
administered and upon recovery he
told the hospital attaches he had taken
strychnine. He was released from the
hospital and a few days afterward wa:
found on South Fifth street This time
he had taken morphine in a suicidal eff
| fort. Again he was taken to the hos
pital. 1t is from the effects of thi:
attempt that he is just recovering
Wolfe has become known locally al
the poison king" The police asser
the man is we'll acquainted with tn
effects of drugs and is not anxious
enough to dispose of his life to TAX
enough poison to accomplish this end

MERCHANTS RESPOND
TO CLUBS REQUEST
Furnish Information on Insur-
ance Rates.

General response is being made by
the merchants to the request OF the
Commercial Club for information in re-
gard to advances made in the rates
of fire insurance. One druggists rates
were almost doubled by the new
schedule. Immediately he withdrew
his insurance. Other merchants have
encountered similar experiences. The
decrease in rates has been but very
slight and in only few cases.

played such rare skill. There are many
different enclosures, each with its at
fractions. The most conspicuous fea-
ture to the casual observer, is liable to
be the large number of gates through
which the visitor is tactfully led, allow
ing the priests who open the gates to
collect a fee at each gate.
Adjacent to this temple is the Tenn
pie of Agriculture, not remarkably at
tractive in itself. but interesting be-
cause here the emperor WOrships the
god of agriculture. On a certain day
of each year he guides the pillow through
several burrows in the pretense of put
ting in a crop. Aided by some of the
high court officials they put out a small
area. but the description of the cere-
mony ends with the statement that
some aged coolies finish the work. >"
We suspect that they find it necessary
for some wiser heads to have a hand in
the planting in order TO insure crop,
hence the engag cement of the old coolies.
The visitor is shown the corn which
the emperor raised.
In passing around among walls. tenn
pies. pagodas. etc. the visitor has Op-
portunity to get glimpses of more in
teresting attractions, viz, the life of the
people themselves. Pekin is built with

the Chinese cities. 1t has some long
straight and wide streets. The build
ings are nowhere very high. We are
told that the spirits hover over the earth
at a height of 100 feet and that there
fore. no building should be more than
SO feet high. so that it may not in
terfere with the free movement of the
spirits.
Many of the very humble as well as
the more pretentious shops have very
deliberately carved fronts. The element
of solidity and simplicity hardly seems
TO enter into Chinese decorative art. The
more they try to ornament a thing, the
more intricate and elaborate gewgaws
they patch on. Where building or re-
pair work is in progress, we may gem
orally see the whole operation carried
out right on the ground, commencing
with the rough saw log or the undressed
rock. The saw mills to make the lum-
Der might be an attraction to some of
our lumbermen of Michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Oregon or Washington. 1t is a
portable" type of mill. The saw log
is prOpped up at one end and two Chi
namen, one on top of the log and the
other underneath, operate a narrow
long saw stretched on a wooden frame.
This Is not a rare scene nor an excep-
tiOnal way of saving lumber. We saw
