THE REGISTER U4MAR. - - COLOHaDO. Prof. Hortet of Lyons. France, who irf experimenting on guinea pig*. «ays that hi* investigation proves that the Roentgen ray* prevent the development %f bacilli In consumption. Our lawmaker* will hereafter have to be careful. Two ex-state senator* In Ohio have been sentenced to the peni tentiary for two year* each, one for soliciting the clerk of the house to change a record to show that a bill had passed, and the other for soliciting money to pass another bill. Delphi. Indiana, people consider that they were scandalised by Mia* Carrie West, the heiress, who became ao In fatuated with W. T. Harris, the mar ried nma of Hammond. Mlm West mortgaged a business block for fund* to pay for the Harris divorce and as soon as it was obtained the knot was tied by 'Squire Coster and the couple left at once on their honeymoon. It waa certainly a rare leap year event. The most remarkable act yet done by a new woman may be . redlted to Mr* Mary Caton. whose husband conducts a large stock farm near Lansing. Mich. She sailed from New York on Saturday in charge of a string of nine trotting horses whose care-taker she will be throughout the entire European trot ting circuit. She is said to thoroughly understand horse*, and her husband, detained at the farm by business, con sidered her the only person he could thoroughly trust to manage the horses during their European career. Some writers strive to put the gist of their subject into the opening sentence, after the manner of the able newspaper head liner. This can be overdone. A lady went to a Louisville hotel to meet her son. whom she had not seen for years. He was not there to meet her. but he had left a letter. The opening sentence read: “I am now in the pen itentiary" Then the old mother faint ed. and It was three hours before she recovered. Then ahe~ discovered by reading the rest of the letter that her boy had a good position with the con tractors for the penitentiary labor and bad been unable to leave his duties. However one may regret from pa triotic motives the defeat of the Yale crew at Henley. It is refreshing to per ceive how thoroughly they have wiped out the remembrance of the disagree able impression made there last year by Cornell. The great banquet given the Yale men at the Sports club In Lon don after the race wav marked by ex treme cordiality towards the Amer icans. and the victorious Leandera have done everything In their power to make the Americans feel as cheerful over their defeat as possible. All of which is entirely different from the events following the defeat of Cornell Last year. German papers discuss the origin of the phrase. 'Blood is thicker than water,” which Emperor William lately used twice as an expression of good will toward England and. as usual, credit it to the wrong man. It was used first by Captain Ingraham during the Brit lah-Chinese war in 1859 and not by Admiral Tatnal. the commander of the American fleet that witnessed the bom bardment of the Taku forts by the British gunboat Opossum. Captain In graham was already a famous man on account of the share he took in the Martin Koszta affair, when he. at the harbor of Smyrna, had his vessel pre pared for action, placing her betw-cn two Austrian men-of-war to emphasize his demand for the surrender of Kosz ta, a political refugee, with a declara tion of intention to become a citizen of Ihe United States in his pocket. The Austrians, of course, yielded. BRYAN AT CHICAGO. )Ukn * Kp»ri b In I mnirow Crowd Br f«r* Kk H«M*i Cbimo, Aug. ft.—The demonitration given William J. Bryan In (hli city last night <xnlM any ever before given a presidential candMair in this nr any other city. Thousand* of people thronged the street* and greeted the candidate with hearty cheer*. Long before the hour arrtred which had Uen announced for the romln* of the Bryau party, the street in front of the Clifton house, from the balcony of which Mr. Bryan wa* to deliver hla brief addrea* to the people, was crowd ed with a dense throng The open window* of adjartat building* were filed and even the su»wrstru«-tnr* of the **L~ road on the Waba*h avenue side of the hotel wa* lined with row* of spectator*. At last when had arrived. Mr. Bryan finally appeared and wa* greet ed with I m mouse cheering from the multitude. The party had been escort ed to the hotel by the Cook County Democratic Marching duK and the po lice. with great dttcnlty. made way far the carriage drawn by four white horse*, to the entrance of the hotel on Madison street After a brief Interval Mr. Bryan ap peared upon balcony. Mr. William J. Strong. chairman of the reception committee, appeared with Mr. Bryan ami delivered a brief wel coming address. When the apidause had sulwided. Mr. Bryan said: “Mr. Chairman. laidiea ami Gentle men:—-I have no language, fellow dtt ictM. that will express the emotion* excited. by this, tbe moat remarkable demonstration that 1 ever witnessed. In no other country U aocfc a scene poo •Ible. In no other country can the peo pie take np a private citizen and make him their instrument to accomplish their will. When I see this assem blage to-night and when 1 remember what the newspaper* *»J lam re minded of what one of our friend* said, that there was nobody •* our side ex cept the people, xml as I look into the faces of these people ami remember that our enemies call them a tnob and say that we are a menace to free gov ernment. I ask who shaft save the peo ple from themselves? 1 am proud to have In this campaign tbe support of those who an* proud to call themselves the common people If 1 had behind me the great trusts and combi nation*. I know that 1 woukl no sooner take my seat than they would demand that 1 should use my power to rob the peo pie In ihdr behalf. “But having, rather, the support of the great toiling mrxse*, 1 know that when they give to them their ballots they shall unite in saying this one thing: *Do your duty and we are re paid.' These are the people who ask no favors of the government. These are the ones who simply say let us ob serve equality befon* tbe law. Give equal rights to all ami special privi leges to none. 1 am glad to have the support of these people because I know that when the nation la Im periled every able-bodied man of them will shoulder a musket to save the country and those who are good enough to offer their blood on the altar of their country in time of danger are good enough to trust in tbe quiet hours of peace. I am simply on my way from my Western home to the great metropolis of the nation to accept there, at the Atlantic seaboard, the nomination given in this city but a few weeks ago. “I am glad that as I go I can take them your greetings, so kindly ert preused in the words of yo»r chair man. who though Republican hereto fore, la a patriot to-day. And to those of your brethren who. like you. are the bone and sinew of the nation. I can take greeting and tell them that you are their friends and that you will stand by them and help them to eman ripctr themselves from tbf domination from which they raffrr. I can go to them am) tell them that jron draw your idea of what thU nation ought to be, from ooe of the great rat phlkwopbera of the Kant. I can repeat t» them. *« I repeat to y«>u. the Unjmacr of Ralph Waldo Emeraon. He may*. 1 “I will hatp never a noble: No lineage counted great: Flabera and chopper* and ploughmen shall constitute a date.' “I’pon thla enduring foundation can be reared a government like «>ura I can take to your Eastern brother greet ing. and. In the language of Abraham Lincoln, can aay that the people of the Went and South are ready to Join with the people of the Kant in declaring that a government of the people, by the people and for the people aha 11 nor perish from the earth.** At the owrhtfka of Mr. Bryan'* speech there **» an uproarious demon «t rut ion from the crowd that fairly made the budding tremble.
