Toledo, O„ Aug. 16, —United States Senator J. B. Foraker was in this city last night en route to his home in Cincinnati after having attended the funeral of the late Senator McMillan in Detroit. He was asked regarding the story recently sent out from Washington to the effect that he was to be the Republican candidate for the vice-, presidency with President Roosevelt in 1904. The senator replied that there was nothing In the rumor qo far as he is concerned, and said that he could pot Imagine from what source the rumor had started. He said he did not know of a friend who was in Washington at this time, all of them having left the city for the summer. HE AGAIN PROTESTS Mr. Bryan Again Declares That He Is Not a Candidate. Lincoln, Neb.. Aug. 15.—W. J. Bryan has written a letter to the editor of the New Orleans Times-Democrat in answer to the question whether he will be a candidate for president in the next campaign. Mr. Bryan says in part: "I shall not be a candidate for the presidency in the next campaign, and. I may add, I have no choice beyond the desire to see someone nominated who was loyal not only to the ticket, but to the platform in 1896 and 1900 and who if elected could be trusted to stand by the people in the struggle against organized wealth. While no one can look very far ahead or foresee the contingencies that may arise. 1 have no plans looking to a renomination at any future time. “W. J. BRYAN.” Signs of Foul Flay. Muscatine. la..

AN OXFORD CUSTOM. Method* That Enforce an Elaborate System of Bookkeeping. An American student at Oxford says that in certain of the university colleges a man may go for dessert to the .ball store—that is, the room below the dining “hall.” where the fancy groceries of the college tire displaced for sale. There are oranges from Florida and Tangier, .apples from New England, figs and dates from the Levant, prunes from Italy, candled apricots from France and English hothouse grapes. All are spread upon the table like a gorgeous Venetian picture, but at either end of the room stand two Oxford “scouts” with account books in their hands. A man takes a tangerine and makes a little gesture toward the scout, who silently records, “Brown, orange, twopence,” and looks up to catch the next Item. Some one asks, "How much are chocolate creams, Higgins?” "Three ha’pence for four, sir,” and the student urges three neighbors to share his pennyworth. The minuteness of this bookkeeping is characteristic of precise English ways. The weekly bills always bear a charge of twopence for salt and the like, and once, when I had not ordered anything for the day, there was an unspecified charge of a penny in the breakfast column. I asked the butler what it meant. He looked at me horrified. “Why. sir, that is to keep your name on the books!” 1 asked if such elaborate bookkeeping were not very expensive. “In America,” I said, “we should lump the charges and devote the money saved to hiring a better cook.” He explained that it alw’ays had been managed so. That was sufficient. —Youth’s Companion. The Iron Maiden. The iron maiden is a terror inspiring torture instrument made of strong wood coated with iron. It opens with two doors to allow the prisoner to be placed inside. The entire interior is fitted with long, sharp iron spikes, so that when the doors are pressed to these sharp prongs force their way into various portions of the victim's body. Two enter his eyes, others pierce his chest and, in fact, impale him alive in such a manner that he dies in the most agonizing torture. Persons were condemned to death by the embraces of the iron maiden for plots against the governing powers, parricide, religious unbelief and murder. The date of this instrument is the fifteenth century. It is believed that the iron maiden is purely and peculiarly a relic of old Nuremberg, as at that date we do not read of it anywhere else, while the annals of that town contain many allusions to its terrors. ’Twnn Artificial.
