DRAMATIC INCIDENT OF THE

"The Passing Of Bryan."

"The heat and the lateness of the

He was wet with perspiration,

from the gallery and then the repre
sentative of the District, in a voice
that penetrated to every part of the
Armory, began:
" 'Mr. Chairman," he shouted, 'we
have nominated for the head of this
ticket a man whom everyone admits is
progressive. We believe that his sue

our candidate for the Vice-Presidency
of the United States the most progres

personally has created these policies
which mean the placing of this na

the absolute right of the people to

You have been so gen

time that I had not expected to trea
pass upon your patience again, but
the compliment that has been paid
me by the gentleman from the Dis
trict of Columbia Justifies, I hope,
a word In the form of a valedictory.
(Applause.)
For sixteen years I have been a
fighting man. Performing what I re
garded as a public duty I have not
feared to speak out on every public
question that was before the people of
the nation for settlement, and I have
not hesitated to arouse the hostility
and the enmity of individuals where
I felt it my duty to do so In behalf of
my country. (Applause.)
I have never advocated a man ex
cept with gladness and I have never
opposed a man except in sadness.
(Cheers and applause.) If 1 have
any enemies in this country those
who are my enemies have a monopoly
of hatred. There is not one single
human being for whom I feel ill-will.
(Applause.) Nor is there one Ameri
can citizen in my own party or in
any other whom I would oppose for
anything except I believed that in
not opposing him I was surrendering
the interest of my country, which I
hold above any person.
I recognize that a man who fights
must carry scars (applause) and I
decided long before this campaign
commenced that I had been in so

many battles and had alienated so
might therefore lead with greater
hope of victory. (Applause.)
Tonight I come with Joy to sur
render into the hands of the one
chosen by this convention a standard
which I carried in three campaigns,
and I challenge my enemies to de
clare that it has ever been lowered
in the face of the enemy. (Great ap
plause and cheering.) The same be
lief that led me to prefer another
for the Presidency rather than to be
a candidate myself leads me to pre
j fer another for the Vice-Presidency.
It is not because the Vice-Presi

My services are at the command of

AU I ask is that , having given us
a platform, the most progressive that

appeal not only to the Democratic
vote but to some three or four million

is but one thing left, and that is to

progressive, so that there will be no
Joint debate between our candidates.

found the armament of the little fleet
cost 14,000 pesetas. The personal ex
penses of Columbus and his officers
were about 2,000 pesetas and six pese
tas a month sufficed for the crew, so
that 20,000 pesetas or about $4,400 was
spent for the eight months that the
voyage lasted. The sum total for the
discovery of America was, therefore,
36,000, or about $7,200. In spite of the
small amount required, however,
Queen Isabella was forced to pawn
her Jewels, it Is related, to provide

Soudanese Almost Exterminated.
The general opinion of the Egyptian
fellaheen Is not a flattering one. We
have generally looked upon him as a
beast of burden whose only Idea of
retaliation for the blows showered
upon him Is to find some one even
more abject than himself and repeat
the castigation with Interest. But
Lord Kitchener In his first report has
a good word to say for the fellah. He
speaks of him as "one of the best and
most hard-worked types of humanity,"
so we will willingly revise our esti
mate and Btand corrected. Incidental
ly Lord Kitchener tells us that the
population of the Soudan was about
nine millions before the Mahdtst re
bellton, that after the rebellion It
was reduced to two millions, and that
It la now over three millions. The
trifling reduction of seven millions of
people was due to war and starvation.

Carthy was naturally embarrassed at
the repetition of a remark that seem

I didn't say only a miniature Goethe,"
he stammered, but Arnold promptly
relieved the situation by remarking
with a winning smile: "If he could

It Is generally conceded that the

Fry Potatoes in Crisco
Cut your potatoes into slices of less than a
quarter of an inch in thickness. Soak in ctdd
water, then dry them thoroughly in a doth.
Heat the Crisco very hot. Then drop in
the potatoes, a few at a time. Do not put
in too many at once, or they will cool the
Crisco and you will lose the benefit of its
very high frying temperature.
When the Crisco is very hot, potatoes fry
in it in 4% minutes, less than half the
time required with other cooking products.
They fry so quickly that a crust forms
instantly and prevents absorption. They
are crisp and deliciously dry.
Notice how little Crisco
is used—how much of it
remains.
