SCOTCH EVENING
Presbyterian Brotherhood Hear Rev. James Grant Discuss Life In The Scottish
 Highlands

Last night the members and friends of the Presbyterian Brotherhood were treated to a, most enjoyable evening when Rev. James Grant of New Ha- ven spoke to them about Life in the Scottish Highlands
 / An invitation to the local Clan Campbell to be present had been &C., cepted and headed by their DiDers. the Clan marched to the church and into the lecture room arrayed in the Highlanders picturesque costume Nearly 200 men including the Clan heard MT. Grants most interesting lecture.
 A Highlander himself, born in Gran ton, Scotland, MT. Grant was able to give that personal touch which went straight to the heart of many a Scotchman, bringing back memories to not a few of the younger days in the homeland. His lecture also gave those of the audience who could boast no Scotch blood, a new conception of the life of the High1anders, whom the lecturer divided into four classes: the witty, the canny, the awkward and the honest Scot.
 MT. Grant had a fund of good stor- ies and kept his audience in roars of laughter when he was not pushing home some of the sterner and more severe truths of Scotch life embedded in the home training, the religious instruction, and the education of the youth in his country at the time of his own boyhood.
 By unanimous vote, MT. Grant was elected an honorary member of the Brotherhood in appreciation of his coming to Bridgeport to give such an excellent lecture
 In the short business session which preceded the lecture, attention was called to the December meeting when MT. J. Wheaton Chambers is to give g. lecture on China, illustrated with slides made from his own photo graphs, taken during his stay of near ly three years in the Orient. It was also announced that for the January meeting, Judge Robert Carey of New Jersey would address the Brother hood on '@The Commission Form Of Government as he studied and ex- perienced 1t in his own state and home city, Jersey City.
 Notice was given of football game on Thanksgiving Day at Seaside park between the Brotherhood team and a team from New Britain.
 At the close of the meeting coffee and Scotch scones were served in the church parlors.
 A number of new members joined the Brotherhood last night bringing the total membership well over POO men. President F. W. Harrison and the other officers are to be congratu- lated and thanked for the splendid evenings entertainment.

PITY Mr.. BRYAN!
He HAS To TALK
FORHISLIVING
Secretary of State Apologies
For His Appearance on the
Chautauqua Circuit.

WASHINGTON. July 14-Lyceum
bureau agents of the Capital smiled
to-day. Chautauqua impresarios
ohortled. They had read the an
nouncement that the silver tongue of
William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of
State, would continue to frame Gross
Of Gold" and Prince of Peace"
speeches for the benefit of the com
mon masses of the common people of
Keokuk, Iowa, and Kokomo, Ind, as
well as for the edification of gilded
, end be-uniformed diplomats Of Wash
angton.
The only difference will be that the
common masses of the common peo-
pie will have to pay for the privilege,
while the diplomats will have the
pleasure as one of the emoluments of
their high offices.
Secretary Bryan's announcement
that he would once more tread the
boards Of the Chautauqua stage of
Peoria, ILL.,, and Hazelhurst, Miss, was
made at Asheville, N. c., Saturday
night when the three time candidate
for President awoke to the realization
that he could not live on the $4,000
which is the salary the United States
pays him to keep off the war dogs of
Japan, and the unknown amount that
Is brought him by his Commoner,
publication that is admittedly pros
porous.
Twelve thousand dollars a year.
plus the profits from The Commoner,
seems a pretty fair income to some,
and especially those who live with the
Spartan simplicity that the Secretary
of State is living exponent Of
1t is recalled that the American
Premier does his own marketing and
prides himself on the fact that ne
drives bargain with the astuteness
and success of a Middle Western
horse trader.
OF course, the Secretary of State
has to do a considerable amount of
entertaining for the diplomatic corps,
but inasmuCh as the chief item Of
expense for state dinners has been
the wine bill and inasmuch as Mr..
Bryan has substituted grape juice for
champagne at his affairs, Washington
experts declare that his dinners can
not possibly cause him to face the
peril of the Bankrupt Court.
They state that about a hogshead
of grape juice can be bought for the
price of one magnum of the effer-
vesCent beverage that once graced
the boards of the Secretaries of State.
Mr.. Bryan has been a chautauqua
lecturer for eighteen years. He knows
the business and he says it's profita-
bic enough to permit him to devote
his idle hours to serving the people of
the Union
