BRYAN MEETS
JENATORS
GIKHTS OF SKXATOK XKWLANB
AT HIS (OIATKV HOMK—BIN
TNG WITH BKMOTRATH BV IX
8TULMRNTH. I
Senator Xewlands gave a dinner'
Monday evening at ‘'Woodley,” his;
country residence, near Washington,
in honor of William Jennings Bryan
to which one-half of the Democratic
senators In alphabetical order were
Invited. A similar dinner was given
last night to which the others were
invited.
S nator Xewlands said that uO po
litical significance attaches to the
dinner. ' He added, however, that
Democratic policies in matters of
legislation might be dincussed.
IM PROMPT IT RECEPTION.
Mr. Bryan held an impromptu re
ception in the rooms of the house
committee on ways and means,
where a number of Democratic rej>
resentatlves and many outsiders
shook him by the hand and chatted
with him.
Asked by someone to name his j
• choice for a running mate in the
event of his nomination at Denver.
Mr. Bryan laughingly replied: "1
shan t tell. That Is too bold a ques
tion.”
To the newspapr** men he said:
“You may say, that my coming to
Washington was not to consult any
•m n or set of men as to whether or
not I ought to be a candidate for the
nomination. I have not put that
question^ to any man. nor shall I.
The people, not individuals, have the
sole right to decide that point.
"I am not here to solicit support
for myself as a possible presidential
candidate. I never solicit individual
support. I never ask any man to
vote for me. In th/) past, when I
'Was before the people as u candi
date. my efforts to obtain votes then
have been confined to statements of
my views.”
Asked about the story published
In some quarters that former United
States Senator Jones, Oliver II. I*.
Belmont and others came to him a
day or so ago and told him he was
not the logical candidate for the
Democratic nomination, urged him
not to run, and promised to oppose
him if their advice should be disre
garded, Mr. Bryan said:
• There is not a shred of truth in
that story. No one has advised mo
not to be a candidate. I saw Sena
tor Jones and we did talk politics,
but nothing of the sort reported oc
curred.”
NO FORMAL CONFERENCE.
“I have as yet had no ‘formal con
ference’ since my arrival in Wash
ington. Tonight at a dinner at the
, home of Senator Newlands, of Ne
vada, I shall meet and confer with
tiie first one-half of the Democratic
senators on the alphatbetlcal list.
Tomorrow night 1 shall me*t the
second half. After that | go at once
to Roanoke, near where my daugh
ter is attending school.” Mr. Bryan
'before leaving the capitoi dictated,
in response to a request, the follow
ing interview setting forth briefly
his views on the financial situation:
I^ack of public confidence Is what
drives money out of circulation. Re
store public confidence and money
r. turns to its accustomed channels.
For Jaek of .confidence the best rem
edy is insurance of bank deposits
and I have urged upon the various
states and congress the passage of
some measure similar to the law
adopted by Oklahoma. This provides
for the creation of a guaranty fund
'by assessments upon the banks in
proportion to their deposits and au
thorizes the banking board to make
such assessments from time to tim?
as may be necessary to restore the
guaranty fund when It is lowered by
the payment of money to depositors
of failed banks.
This permit! the resources of all
banks to be the resources of each
■bank, and insures each depositors
against loss. The Oklahoma statute
permits national banks to take ad
vantage of the state law and a na
tional law should permit state banks
to come under the provisions of that
law In states which have no guar
anty system.
AN HJI^ARTIC CTJRRKNCY.
“As to an eleastk? currency. I
think provision could be made for
sufficient elasticity In times of emer
gency by a law providing for the
Issue of l nited States notef such
notes to be loaned by the govern
ment to the banks upon adequate
necurity and at a rate of Interest
whlcfi would compel the retirement
of the notes when the emergency is
over. I suppose nearly all members
of congress and senators favor some
prevision for an emergency curren
cy. The demiATids as a rule favor
a system under which the govern
ment will issue and control the value
of emergency currency, while most
Ttepubllcans favor some system un
der which It would Ik* issued and
controlled by rhe banks. This pre
sents the point in dispute between
the two parties. The high financiers
hsve b en largely responsible for the
present panic by reason of their
reckless methods; and I am satisfied
that a number of the people would
prefer to risk the government rath
°r than risk these men. Somebody 1
must decide*it)ton the needs of the
people, and so far as I ant concerned. j
I prefer that the concessions be with
the public officers responsible to the
public rather thau with private in
dividuals who would be guided by
their mo interests of the public.’

THEATRICAL NOTES
Manager Jolliffe takes pleasure in
announcing to the theatre-goers of
Blue-field that lie has’bookod the tal
ented young actress, Miss Mary
Emerson for one performance of
Louis Evans Shipman's stirring, ro
mantic play of the south. “On Pa
role." for Thursday night. “Con
stance Pinckney," a young, southern
girl, carrying dispatches bet wo‘n
two branches of the Confederate
army. Ib surprised and pursued by
Major Dale, chief of the Intelligence
Service of th* Federal army. she
takes refuge in a mountain hut and
quickly changes her riding habit for
the calico dress of a mountain girl,
and when the Yankees arrive under
Dale she Ib discover'd baking corn
bread. She succeeds in misleading
Dale and sends him o(T on the wrong
road. Arriving at Pinckney Place.

him of the approach of the Yankees
under Dale. Upon Major Dale's ar
rival lie is puzzled by the resem
blance of the beautiful girl before
him to the one he had met in the
mountain cabin. Accidentally catch
ing sight of the niud-b spattered”
habit, he is satisfied of the girl's
identity, but keeping bis suspicions
to himself, lie places tin* household
under arrest and puts Constance on
"Parole.” Dove springs up betw en
the southern girl and Major Dale,
and Constance regrets tiie plan she
has laid for his capture and tries to
induce hi into leave. Failing in this
she decides to intercept her brothel
but is stopped by the sentries and
her lover thinks she has tried to
break her parole. A force of Con
federate Cavalry now arrives and
capture* Dale, who thinks Mist hi
has been tricked by Constance, who
is really I nan agony of grief over
the situation. This scene is the cli

HERE’S IDEAL MODEL CITIZEN.
The Coming Man a« Seen by Admir
ers of Socialism.
To describe an Ides! modern cltl
aen now ts at best to make a guess
and a suggestion as to what must be
built In reality by the efforts of a
thousand minds. Hut he will be a
very different creature from that in
different. well-behaved business man
who passes for s good citisen to-day.
He will be neither under the slave
tradition nor a rebel, nor a vehement
elemental man. Essentially he will be
aristocratic: aristocratic not in the
sense that he has alsves or class in
feriors, because probably he wtll have
nothing of the sort, but aristocratic In
the sense that he will feel that the
state belongs to him and he to the
state. He will probably he a public
servant: at any rate he will be a man
doing some work in the complicated
machinery of the modern community
for a salary and not for speculative
gain. Typically he will be a profes
slonal man. 1 do not think the ideal
modern citizen can be a person living
Chiefly by buying for as little as he
can give and selling for as much as
he can get; Indeed, most of what we
idolize as business enterprise. I think
he will regard with very considerable
contempt. Hut then I am a Socialist
and look forward to the time when the
economic machinery of the commu
nity will not be a Held for private en
richment but for public service.—

CAN ALWAYS TRUST CHINAMEN.
Custom* In Celestial Empire Have
Made Dishonesty Scarce.
"You soon learn In China that you
can trust a Chinaman to carry
through anything he agrees to do for
yon," says Samuel Merwlti In Success
"When I reached Tal Yuan-fit I
handed my Interpreter a Chinese
draft for $200 (Mexican), payable to
bearer, and told him to go to the
bank and bring back the money. I
had known John a little more than a
week yet any one who knows China
will understand that I was running no
appreciable risk. The Individual
Chinaman is simply a part of a family,
the family is part of a neighborhood,
the neighborhood is part of a village
or district, and so on. If John had
disappeared with my money after
cashing the draU and afterward been
caught, punishment would have beeu
swift and severe. Very likely he
would have lost his head. If the au
thorities hsd been unable to find
John (hey would have punished his
family. Punishment would surely
have fallen on somebody."
A Lithuanian Funeral.
On Sunday morning a strange funer
al cortege passed through the Mission
streets. The hearse was followed by
a procession of women walking In the
middle of the street. They wore dark
skirts trimmed with bands of lace,
embroidery, or colored strips, and all
wore aprons, some of black silk or
cloth, but more of sheer white em
broidered corners, and fringed shawls
were over their shoulders. It was not
a uniform, but more In the nature of
holiday attire such as one sees In
Italy and hranee on carnival occasions
or fete days. The men in the proces
sion wore conventional dress, but their
bearded faces were not American. In
quiring as to the nationality of these
odd figures who made such a strange
picture In Man Francisco, I found they
were Lithuanians, and that there Is a
large colony of them here, mostly em
ployed at a laundry over toward the
Potrero.—San Francisco Call.
Driving a Good Bargain.
The harbor's small son was In the
habit of playing around his father's
shop, and he was always keenly In
terested In the patrons. Many a
stray penny found Its way Into the
little chubby hand, and sticks of gum
were dropped In quite as though by
accident. Judge Williams drifted Into
the shop the other afternoon for a
hair cut. The lad recognized the fact
that the Judge was a new patron, and
so was more than ordinarily Inter
ested in him. He hung at the foot
of the chair und looked musingly at
the Judge's bald head. Then he
walked slowly to the back of the
chair and surveyed the scanty fringe
of hair from that point of vantage
He could contain himself no longer
and burst out Incredulously: "Father,
do—you—get a quarter for cutting
that ?"—Llpplncott's.
Mutt Charge to Get Crowd.
The Ladles' guild of a certain New
York church had planned an evening
entertainment and reception, and
asked the rector to make announce
ment of It on the Hundav preceding.
"This Is all right," he said, "but you
must charge admission.”
hy this Is Jusl a social evening,"
they protested. "We are Inviting peo
pie."
They won't come." said the rector,
"because they will think It la not
worth while. Hut charge a small ad
mission and you will have a gr»od
crowd. " Ho the women gave in, and
subsequent events proved the rector
was right.
Daniel Up to Date.
Jimmy, aged five, was told the
story of Daniel in the lions’ den, by
his grandmother. When she had fin
Ished the story she asked Jimmy
what he thought Daniel did the very
first thing when he found he was
saved from the Hons'’"
"Oh, I guess he telephoned home to
his wife to te|| her he was all right,”
answered Jimmy."

Extraordinary Letter by Father of
Spurned Girl Read In Court.
A thousand dots were In a letter
which was read In a breach of promise
action at Chester Sheriff's court re
cently.
I “These are not kisses, but tears.”
the letter, which was of an extraor
dinary character, explained.
Last year a Cheadle cab proprietor,
named Arthur Morrell, met Elisabeth
Ann Rhodes, an Aahton-under l«ytie
mill forewomnn. who is now 20 years
old. at a wedding party.
He apparently fell in love and wrote
her many letters and post cards. In
February last they became engaged,
and the wedding was to have taken
plaec in September, but the cab pro
prietor wrote asking the young woman
to “let him free." as their “social con
ditions were not quite equal.”
The young woman's father in reply
wrote the letter, which was read In
court:
* When you go to church and sing
your praise try to think of the lass
you have now spurned and left with u
broken heart.
“When you uplift your voice In
prayer, may the heaven be us brass.
May Uod repay thee for what thou
hast done."
Then followed 1,000 dots and these
words:
“These are not kisses, but tears
from a mother’s and daughter’s hearts,
which before they knew you never had
a care.
“May you for every tear that falls
and every throb in their hearts repent
It millions and millions of times over
and over ugalu, and every time you
look at a lass or hear the church bells
chime at night when you go to sleep,
and at morn when you awake, may
you think of this letter and a lass with
a broken heart."
The Jury awarded L40 damages.—

Some Suggestions As to Lying.
There is not so much objection to
lying as there Is to a lack of art In
the telling of n lie. It is no use to tell
a lie unless you are going to ac
complish your purpose. Lies can do
the work whether they are discovered
or not. It is all In the manner of tell
Ing them. In the llrst place never tell
a He when the truth will do Just as
well. This serves to establish your
reputation and gives your lies a stand
ing they could not otherwise gain.
Never tell a big He to gain a small
object, nor tell a little lie to gain u
big object. I*ot all your lies be big
and lusty fellows, and let them have
some big business in hand. These two
rules aro really imperative if you ex
pect to become a successful and pro
ficient liur. Little 1 Ich for little things
are not worth telling.
finally, always have the courage of
your lies. Stick to ’em. If you are
uot brave enough to stand by your
own lies, why send them out only to
be betrayed? A man Is the rankest
sort of a coward that refuses to give
his lie any support when it crawls
hack to him from the hurfutlngs. beat
ings and rough usage of the populace.
Hrace It up with manufactured cor
roborative evidence and artificial con
firmation and send it out again re
newed In spirit and vigor.—Washing
ton Times.
Killed 189 Ducks at One 8hot. „
Harry Malcolm, exdeputy game
warden, sends to the Hun a photograph
of a remarkable nine-barrel gun with a
single trigger, which has the effec
tiveness of a Gatling gun in slaughter
ing ducks. A single pbll of the trig
ger fires off all the barrels, and one
discharge is said to have killed 189
ducks.
Mr. Malcolm, assisted by Messrs, ft.
H. Cox, W. M. Lyon and Sidney llar
ber. arrested a party of hunters who
were using the gun to the great detri
ment of the wild duck hunting sport
on the Potomac river. Seven men
were taken along with the gun. which
Is of a type forbidden by lrtw. Mr.
Malcolinn says that ror years they
have been unlawfully killing ducks
and driving others from the Potomac
river and tributary creeks.
The capture of the outfit, he says, is
a great, relief to the owners of lands
In the neighborhood. With the gun
were raptured four sloops, seven big
guns, 100 decoys, seven skiffs, |f»o
pounds of powder and 85 dead ducks.

Arnold’s Question Well Answered.
There are renewed effort* to palnl
Benedict Arnold In clean, white col
ors. They remind a writer of the fol
lowing anecdote: On one of his raids
Arnold captured an American officer
In Virginia After a few days he said:
"Captain, what would our countrymen
do With me If they caught me?” "Well,
sir,” replied the captain, "If I must
answer the question, I should-say that
If my countrymen should catch you
they would first cut off your lame |e*
which was wounded In the cause of
freedom and vlrfuo at Quebec, and
bury It with the honors of war; then
they would hang the remainder of
your carcass on a gibbet!”
Side Lights on History.
Bcott was writing the "|j»y of the
Last Minstrel.”
"After which.” he muttered, with s
grim smile, “with your kind perml*
slon, ladles and gentlemen, the gifted
vocalist, Herr Bpuytentnyfel, will sing
the pathetic ballad entitled, 'Mamma.
Your Little Darling Is Too Full to1
Kat Any More!’”
For well he knew that there would
be still later minstrels with other
lays.
Appreciation.
"They say nuttcrworth Is going to
•rent a monument over the grave of
hla wire'e first husband.”
"An ordinary man would regard
that as a waste of money, wouldn't
he?”
"Perhaps, but you aee he left
enough life Insurance to make It poe 1
slble for nutferwoath to get along 1
without working for the rest of hla
life, and I suppose he feels that he
ought In some way to publicly show
his appreciation.”
