Barron writes from London: A friendly inquiry is made by one of my correspondents if it be true that "in the parquette of a theater ladies always remove their hats?" This Is rather a surprising question, as I had supposed that everyone knew that in London, indeed in every capital of continental Europe (Paris excepted) ladies who are to occupy first-class places go to the theater with their heads innocent of either hat or bonnet. A woman of the select and fashionable London . world would no more think of appearing at the theater in hat or bonnet than with her hair done in curl papers, even were she permitted 'in reserved portions) to wear other headdress than an aigrette or a. similar ornament allowed at any formal evening reception. In London the orchestra stalls, the dress circle and the boxes impose evening dress; and of course no lady is in evening dress who wears either bonnet or hat, however diminutive those articles might be. Several theaters, notably the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, have the words "evening dress Indispensable" printed upon the tickets sold for special parts of the house boxes, orchestra stalls and balcony stalls. Other parts of the house, such as the pit, amphitheater and gallery, receive you as. you may come from the street. De Wolf Hopper recently ' received the following proposition by letter from a New York club man: "If you will let me play the part of Edmund Stanley in 'El Capitan' for one night only I will pay his salary for a week and give you $100 besides." Hopper was mystified at this offer until the letter was shown to Nella Bergen, who plays the part of Stanley's sweetheart. The pretty blonde prima donna recognized the letter as that of a lovelorn youth who had written her several amatory letters and had vainly sought to make her acquaintance. Hopper refused the youth's gilded offer, but what a pretty story it would have made had he accepted, for then the lady would have been forced to listen to the bona-fide protestations of a supposedly make-believe lover who had paid for the privilege. Robert Hlllard, who married a wealthy Jersey City widow last week, began life as a stock broker. He was the confidential man with an important stock brokerage firm in Wall street, and during the last four years of his career in that giddy world of financial speculation he made over $23.0)0. About that time he became connected with the Kemble and Amaranth societies, of Brooklyn. He acquired the stage fever and felt that he would be, happier in making a dollar on the stage than ten dollars in Wall street. Edith Kingdon, now Mrs. George Gould, was a prominent Brooklyn amateur at the time, and they, frequently acted together in the performances given by these societies. Miss Blanche Walsh returned last week from Australia, where she has been playing In Mr. Nat C. Goodwin's company. She reports the business as very bad. She left the company because Miss Maxine Elliott came out to play leading parts, and she didn t think there was room for two leading ladies. She had heard nothing definite about Mr. Goodwin's marital troubles, and laughed at the idea that she had been named as a corespondent in divorce proceeding instituted by Mrs. Goodwin. Her relations with tho actor, she says were purely of a business character. Miss'Walsh has a two years' contract with Mr A M Palmer, beginning on Oct. 1. On Saturday Mme. Nordica Dohme sailed for London after one week in this country. She came across the water to sing at the Worcester music festival last Wednesday. She will return to this country on Oct 31 and will play engagements through the South and West until the early part of February, when she will return to London Nordica has refused to sign with the Metro", politan grand opera managers this season. Miss Sadie Connolly, the actress, who was very nearly asphyxiated the other night tn New York by sleeping in a room with a bunch of decayed violets, attempted to rehearse "Fallen Among Thieve" the next day at the Fourteenth-street Theater. In the midst of a scene she fainted and an ambutane was called. She remained unconscious for some time, but later recovered and was sent home. Manager Thomas Jefferson has engaged Theodore Hamilton, the veteran actor, to play the part of Puddin' Head Wilson. No be tter selection could have been made. Mr. John Martin, of this city, will again be in advance of "Pud. lin' Head Wilson.1' Mr Martin is now home on a brief visit He will be in advance of "The Mandarin" DeKoven & Smith's new opera, until the "Puddtn' Head Wilson" season pptns. Mr. E.;'K. Rice has engaged Mile. Yvonne La Guerre, the Parisian harpist, to play the part of Evangeline's sister In his revival of the burlesque. Other recent engagements for the cast are Charles Rigclow is tin captain. "Ed" Chapman us Basil, Shwrman Wade, as the policeman and May Baker as Felicia. Miss Theresa Vaughn, will be the Evangeline. , ' A. CV Wheeler, -better known as "Nyra Crinkle" to theater-goers. i to be the drauatla editor of the Eveninc Journal, which

will be issued for the first time on Sa. 2S. Mr. Wheeler has long been famed as a critic of undoubted authority, and is espeeiallv noted for his admirable and trenchant English. Maggie Mitchell (Mrs. Abbott) has been spending the summer at her Long Branch cottage. Cricket Lodge. Her daughter. Fanchon. Is described as her second self in appearance and her son is going to cast his first vote this year. Mr. Abbott is enjoy

ing life and has no idea of returning to the ..... Yvette Guilbert includes in her repertoire this season "Nancy," a negro ballad, and "My Pearl Is a Bowery Girl." This is qui'.? a compliment to Andrew Mack, who composed both songs. It will be worth noting, however, whether credit is given to the young comedian on the programmes. Pretty nearly everything that has seen i a musical success in the East will be rendered by the "Jolly Old Chums" Company, Which will give six penormances at the Empire, beginning Thursday afternoon. The company is said to be a good one. Mr. J. M. Barrie, the novelist and playwright, sailed from Liverpool on Wednesday for this country. He is bringing over his dramatization of "The Little Minister" and a new play. "Two Kinds of Women," for Mr. Charles Frohman. Sol Smith Russell has made so much of a success in "A Bachelor's Romance," Martha Morton's new comedy, that he will not appear in any other play this season. He opened his tour Sept. 17 in Wilkesbarre, Pa. Delia Fox, who began her season on Sept. 19 at Brooklyn, N. Y.,- has a superstitious fear of opals. She never wears one, and will not allow any one occupying the stage with her to wear the unlucky stones. J. E. Dodson calls attention to the fact when Shakspeare wrote his plays there were not in all the world as many English speaking people as there are now in New York and New Jersey. Nella Bergen has signed with De Wolf Hopper for two years. She joined the company as prima, donna last season, and her success has led to the present contract. Georgia Cay van makes her debut as a star Oct. 5 at Palmer's Theater, in NewYork, opening in a play entitled, "Mary Pennington, Spinster." Ex-President and Mrs. Harrison witnessed John Drew's performance in "Rosemary" at the Empire Theater, New Y'ork, one night last week. Mr. Henry E. Dixey's "His Absent Boy" company has not proved a success, and closed its season in Boston on Saturday night. James O'Neill has received a very advantageous offer to produce "Monte Cristo" at the Adelphi Theater in London next season. "Darkest America" is the title of a comedy drama that will be the attraction at the Park for three days, beginning this afternoon.. The scenes are laid in the South ana deal with negro life in all its phases, especially their home life. All the characters are taken by negroes. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Lucas are the Reading lights of the production. "Darkest America" deals with an idea entirely new to the stage; there are no scenes of oppression; the brutal overseer and slave driver is conspicuous by his absence. It is entirely different in construction from the negro dramas as heretofore presented. Fun reigns supreme. It is a spectacular comedy and the large company of negroes enter into the spirit of the various scenes so naturally that the audience is interested and entertained from the start. There will be the usual daily matinees. Next Thursday the Gormans will open a half week's engagement at the Park In "The Gilhooleys Abroad," a farce-comedy In three acts.' PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. i Mr. Edwin Farmer will give a piano recital at Wulschner's next Friday evening, assisted by Mrs. Lafayette Page. Among the passengers on the Netherlands liner Veendam. which will sail from Rotterdam for New York Wednesday, will be Mrs. D. Dewar and daughter Grace. They are expected home about Oct. 12.

Bat the Error Vai Discovered In Time to Save XV m. Jacobi's Life. Last night William Jacob, a well driver who lives at 534 Wells street. North Indianapolis, was not feeling well, and asked his wife to get him some quinine. By mistake she gave him a dose of about twelve grains of morphine. He had not much more than taken the drug when she discovered her mistake, and hurried her husband to the City Dispensary, where Drs. Vannatta and Wilson applied the stomach pump and antidotes. He was kept there nearly two hours, when it was seen that the treatment, had had its effect, and then his itife took him home. The accidental discovery that the wrong medicine had been given was about as unaccountable as the fact that it was given. Mrs. Jacob! did not seem to know what caused her to think a mistake had been mada and then make Bearch to see . if she had given the morphine, which she knew was In the house. ; CITY NEWS NOTES. . The regular meeting of the directors of the Boys' Club and Employment Association will be held at the rooms, 64 East Court street, to-morrow afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Edward Harrington was arrested last night by Sergeant Crane on a charge of assault and battery. He was mixed up in a row with Michael White and Michael Bowlen in an East Washington-street barrel house a few days ago. Bowlen and White were arrested at the time. A Woman Elector. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. If tho Republicans carry Wyoming for McKinley and Hobart on Nov. 3 the Electoral College which will meet to determine the result of the election will be different in one important particular from every previous electoral college since the formation of the government of the United States. One of its members will be a woman. Mrs. Sarah Malloy, of Cheyenne, has been placed on the State's electoral ticket by Wyoming's Republicans, and the. party will do its best to elect her. They t'ct 1 reasonably sure of success, for they elected a Republican Governor In 1S94 by a plurality of 3.14 out of a total vote ot lfl.L'M. Two years previous Harrison received the vote of the State bv a plurality of 732 out of a total vote of 16.706. The increase in the total vote went almost entirely to the Republican party. Mrs. Malloy says she is a believer In woman suffrage "to a certain degree," but that "the highest mission of woman is in her home." Here's hoping that Major McKinley will receive the first ballot ever cast by a woman elector. DcmoerntM in Indiana. Letter in New York Post. Indiana has never been carried by a party which was not united. It is altogether unlikely that it can be carried this time when every Democrat distrusts everv other Democrat, when there are thousands of its members supporting the Palmer ticket and other thousands openly saying that they will vote for McKinley, and when the old and effective leaders arc either fighting the Chicago ticket or supporting It in the most lukewarm way. The Republicans, on the other hand, are working in harmony, and are making a very effective campaign. The National Democrats, too. are making themselves felt.. They will have many of the best speakers in the country !n the field before the campaign is much, older.' Some speeches have already been made. Many local orators are ready to take the stump whenever the committee gives the word.

MR. LEVERING'S ADDRESS

THE PROHIBITION CANDIDATE AT FIRST BAPTIST CIIL'HCH. Does Not Believe in Wasting Time Sympathizing with. Drunkurilt V Revival in the Northeast. Last nh;ht the regular sermon at the First Baptist Church was omitted anil in its place there was a talk by Joshua Levering, of Baltimore, candidate for President on the Prohibition ticket. Mr. Levering is a well-known Baptist and has been prominent in the work of this denomination for many years. He takes an active part in all the many branches of the church work and has been a free giver to its institutions. Being a wealthy man, he has devoted a large sum to the work in his own city and has also assisted the work elsewhere. In introducing him Rev. Dr. Ellison said that, while he would introduce a candidate for President, the talk of the evening and the gather-frig had no political significance, but that Mr. Levering would talk on the subject of temperance and Christian citizenship. "I believe, if I know my own heart," said the speaker in introducing his subject, "that I love all who love our Lord Jesus Christ, but then I feel a little more at home in a Baptist church than elsewhere, because I have been there so long. "I do not believe in depreciating the efforts of anyone in uplifting humanity. I remember the promise thJt if a cup of cold water be given 'in my name' it shall have its reward, but I think that in the work for the suppression of drunkenness we are exhausting our resources by beginning at the wrong end. Writers and good thinkers often tell us that drunkenness is a disease and that the drunkard should be pitied. We must put up with him and do for him. and in the meantime the man is a. drunkard and suffering for it and mankind is worse fot his. acts. But I say drunkenness is a sin." Mr. Levering then referred to the gospel of St. Paul, in which he enumerates many things as sins which will keep a man from heaven, and among them is drunkenness. Mr. Levering then took up the claim oft repeated that the people are not responsible if a man destroys himself by getting drunk. He took the story of Cuin and Abel and showed that the Lord held that Cain was i is brother's keeper and was responsible for him. He used this story to show that if the people did not take up the question and stamp out the liquor traffic they will be held responsible for the sins of the drunkards. To emphasize his statement made at the opening that people are wasting much ir( this work by beginning at the wrong end he said that the sheriff and his posse who started out in pursuit of a gang of kuklux who had committed an outr ige on someone? would not be justified in stopping by the wayside to offjr consolation to tho injured man; that while consolation and assistance were important to him, it was the duty of the sheriff, the keeper of the-peaee. to follow the desperadoes and capture them sc. they could do no more harm. He drew the conclusion from this that those who work for the cause of temperance should not waste all ther time trying to alleviate the sufferings of those who had already become drunkards, but should aim directly at the mark and go to the statute books where the law permitting and legalizing the traffic was to be found. With that removed, there would be no drunkards fallen by the wayside to need assistance. He described a visit to a sawmill In Minneapolis. There he found the logs tloating in the water near the mill. The logs wort taken up by machinery and hauled into the mill, where its perfect machinery soon cut them into finished lumber, which was stacked away in the yards. "The sawmill, to do its perfect work," he said, "must be a perfect mill and must turn out perfect lumber. The American saloon, to do ita perfect' work, must turn out drunkards that is what it is legalized for." HE LOOKS LIKE M'KINLEY. Rev. Dr. Barrow Preaches at CollegeAvenue Baptist Church. Rev. A. C. Barrow, D. D., and Rev. H. M. Wharton, D. D., evangelists of Baltimore, Md., began 'a series of evangelistic meetings yesterday in the northeastern part of the city. A number of the churches in that part of the city have expressed a willingness to co-operate in these meetings, which will be held in the College-avenue Baptist Church, corner of College and Lincoln avenues. These evangelists have a national reputation ard are verysuccessful in their work. Th se meetings will be held in the College-avenue church every day for several weeks, from 4 to 5 in the afternoon and at 7:.'!0 in the evening. Notwithstanding the rain a good congregation was present yesterday morning, and the meeting Was deeply interesting. The singing by the large chorus choir was inspiring. Dr. Barrow, who preached in the morning, is a. line looking man and bears a marked resemblance to Major McKinley. the Republican presidential candidate. He is a very pleasing and attractive speaker and an eloquent and impressive preacher. He took for his text Genesis v. 24 "And Enoch walked with God and was not, for God took him." It was an able and impressive sermon. In the evening the subject was "Endowment of Power;" text. Acts i, 8 "But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you." He said, in part: "Power is what the world needs. The power of electricity has been stored up in nature for centuries. So the church needs power, and power has been furnished the church and is stored up for the church. It is the power of the Spirit. This is what the church needs, not the power of wealth, not the power of members; what the church needs is not so many more Christians, but a better quality of Christians. The church does not need the ikwer of, social standing. The disciples who had such power were ordinary people. Lack of faith robs the church of this power. What is needed is faith in God's promises. This power is obtained by coming in touch with God. The electric car has power when it touches the current. Some of God's people have lost the power by not using it." At the close of the sermon five persons were baptized, WISE SILVER1TES. The Texas Idea- a to Free Coinage and Its Effects. New York Tribune. The Austin Statesman. Democratic, deserves a word of praise for the able and vigorous fight it is making against free silver. While its attitude is that of the most intelligent Democrats of Texas, there is good rearon to believe that it would have been to the interest of the Statesman to have come out for free silver. It has been steadily bombarded bv silverites ever since it bolted the ticket, and it has undoubtedly lost subscribers bv its honest and patriotic course. It has enlisted for the war. however, and shows no signs of being frightened by the attacks made upon it. These attacks come mostly in the form of idiotic, or abusive letters to the editor, which he is esp'?cted to nnsw. r. The Statesman declares that this is entirely out of the question; and it prints some of the bona-tide letters it is receiving from ardent Bryan men, in order that its readers may see why it is out of the question. A few passages may be quoted from these letters, because they show in a 'most striking, because unconscious, way just what many of Mr. Bryan's most noisy followers think free silver means. In spite of their stupidity and vulgarity, therefore, they are valuable helps to a proper understanding of the free-silver camraign, because they are writ, ten by some of the people who. according to Mr. Bryan, know more about finance than bank presidents or the Shylocks of Wall street. One letter quoted by the Statesman was sent by a silver committee and it begun as follows: "Oh. you on'ry cuss. I jes'.wlsh we fellows had you outln the wodes. What the damation do you want to keen us from getting some of the tree silver Mr. Bryan is goin to send out wlien he is President? You er seh a fool you don' understand it. Don' you no they is goin' to count all the gold dollars and end out lfi silver dollars for every gold dollar to shook out free i.mong the bo vs. You ole fool, aint you got ret ody to grab for you? Let un on it." Then "a friend." after the ca-ndid manner of friends, sends the following illustration of what sixteen to one means: "You d d old fool: don't you no them fellows what you rite for will have to pay you $K for every $1 tney pay you now, under free silver? Hatnt you got sense enough to see that, you blasted, old fool?" We have space to quote from only one more letter; but in it way it is the best of them all. for -.he writer is evidently of a little higher grade of Intelligence than most of the other writers. . How little that really means, however, will be seen byperusing the letter, which is as follows: "Free silver will make money plenty. We

will build new mints and coin all the silver of the world and make England bite the dust. With shiploads of silver we will travel the ocean main and get all the trade of the world. We will coin and coin and coin until silver is as plenty as leaves on trees, "and then every Tellow will have justas much as he wants. It will be like it was in Confederate times. I had hundreds of dollirs in Confederate money, and I aint een a 10-doll ir piece since tnen. Let us git back to good old Confederate times, when everybody had all the money they wanted; that's what 1 am for. and you ought to be for it. because I know you was a Confederate soldier. Aint you got enough Southern patriotism in you to want to git back to good old Confed days? I'm for all the money the government can coin and print. Let her come; it won't bother me."' Most people, we- think, will admit that the Statesman could not seriously attempt to answer such "arguments" as these. A course in the primary school is what the writers are most in need of. It "is pitiful to think that thousands of men who will vote next November on a question of paramount imoortanee to the welfare of the country are so utterly ignorant in regard to the meaning of that question.- Mr. Bryan pretends that he is appealing to the intelligence of the country; but. in point of fact, his appeal is made wholly to its ignorance.' And his triumph would mean, among oth?r things, the coming into power of just -such men as those who are confounding the editor of the Statesman by their arguments. FORECAST FOR TO-DAY.

Relies on Providence and Discards Practical Political Work. Washington Special. Candidate Bryan seems to be the only Democratic leader who is confident that the Chicago nominee will be elected. He relies, as is well known, upon his belief that he is predestined to be President, and mat he is to be elected by a great uprising of the people, and not by the work of practical politicians or the expenditure of large sums of money. He ' thinks his own speechmaking, and that of others which it stimulates, is the most effective means of campaigning. ' , But naturally the practical politicians who are trying to manage his campaign here and in Chicago, and those who come in from time to time from the different States, do not agree with him. and are getting more and more discouraged as they realize the tremendous strength of the allied forces and interests opposing him, and the lack of organization, lack, of first-class managers and orators, and lack of money on their own side. For. in spite of all the reports about the generous gifts of the silver mine owners, the practical politicians on the Bryan side have very little money. Chairman Jones himself is quoted as talking privately in a very discouraged manner, and as saying that he had never realized before what power combined capital might have in politics, and that ne was appalled bv the plans and methods of the McKinley managers. When asked for his personal opinion as to the prospects he said tie did not believe "any man living could tell at this time what the result would be. and that predictions made on hopes were worthless. And it is said that Chairman Jones placed frankly before candidate Bryan at their last interview all the difficulties and needs of the campaign from the point of View of practical politics, and that Bryan made light of them, and told him that he was relying upon the justice cf his cause and the aid of heaven, and that even if he was defeated this year, which he did not expect, the battle would go on until "the crime of,73" was punished and Its terrible consequences stopped. . Candidate Bryan is also quoted as having made a. similar reply to Senator Gorman, Senator Faulkner and other practical politicians who talked with him while he was here on the same llne as Chairman Jones. These practical politicians are thoroughly convinced that their candidate is sentimental, unpractical and visionary, and. what is more important, they are daily becoming more and more convinced that he cannot win. Most of them are bimetallists, and not original free-coinage advocates, and. of course, cannot sympathize with candidate Bryan's zeal for the freecoinage cause, nor with his confident expectation that it must some time win. He talks like an abolitionist to tnem. while they talk to him like the practical politicians of the ante-oellum period. He has shown them, however, that he is strong-willed enough to follow out his owii course, regardless of them and their advice, and. that he fully realizes his importance as a candidate. Some of them, finding that they have not been able to manage him as a candidate, and fearing that they would not be able to manage him as President, are getting lukewarm as well as disheartened. Money. . Mere Tool. New York Post. One unfortunate result of all the talk about money In this campaign will be to make a great many people think that money is of much more importance than it really is. Of course, the preservation of our standard of value and tho sustaining of credit and confidence are of the very highest importance now and always, but in too many heads this idea becomes at once confused with the notion that money is everything. Money is a most useful tool, a practically indispensable convenience, but itself it is of not nearly so much account as hay or wood or wool. It is this confusion that makes it possible for Bryan to stand up. as he has stood up. In the midst of great crops and smiling plenty, and commiserate farmers because "their barns were full but their pockets empty." Think of it plenty to eat, a great surplus easily exchangeable for clothes and machinery and comforts, yet profound misery because the farmers had the substance of property in their possession, and not the mere symbols of property: This is a wholly new 'kind of wretchedness. The really miserable farming populations of the world In Japan, in India, in China would be only too glad to be wretched in this fashion." They wouldn't mind the empty pockets' a bit if the stomach '.vere ho regularly and satisfylngiy filled and the back covered. Sense, common sense Drink Postum Cereal and keep well.

SURPRISE AT RICHMOND

PROMINENT DEMOCRATIC LAWYER ARRESTED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT. Cliuirman Henderson Forced to Spend tt Night In Jail New President for State Normal School. Srecial to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Sept. 27. Last midnight James W. Henderson, a prominent attorney of this city and chairman of the Democratic county central committee, was arrested on a charge of embezzling several hundred dollars from Woodward Lodge of Odd Fellows, of which he served for some time as secretary. He was placed in jail and remained until this morning, when he gave bond in the sum of $2,000 and was released. Stories regarding Mr. Henderson's alleged shortage have been current for some time and have been published by the local press, but the. action of last night, which was taken at the instigation of the lodge, was the first of an official nature. The news of Mr. Henderson's downfall created much surprise in the city, where for a number of years he has been regarded as an honest and upright man. He has been quite active in the political field since being elected county chairman by the Democrats and was the man who at the last district convention placed Dr. C. A. Robinson in nomination for Congress. INDIANA OBITIAKV. David I.. Shearer, tt Prominent Pioneer of the Wabash Valley. Special to the Indianapolis' Journal. PERU. Ind., Sept. 27. David L. Shearer, one of the prominent pioneers of the Wabash valley, died at his home, in this city, this morning, aged seventy-six years. David L. Shearer was born in Preble county, Ohio, and removed to Huntington, Ind., in 1846, where he was engaged in the grain business. In 1S66 he removed to Peru, and since that time he has carried on an extensive grain business in this city, and has been identified also with the same business in Huntington. Mr. Shearer was one of the best-known grain buyers in Indiana. From a humble beginning, by dint of perseverance and well-developed business sense, he succeeded in accumulating a comfortable competence.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON. Ind., Sept. 27. The ruling made by the Appellate Court yesterday in the suit of John Irish vs. the Alexandria Natural Gas and Mining Company, confirming the judgment given for $10,000. has a great deal of importance in this county. Irish is the administrator for the estate of Jesse Harroll, deceased. The suit and eight more for a like sum, aggregating $100.000, grow out of a natural-gas explosion at Alexandria two years ago, in which a barber shop and express office were wrecked. Harroil and four others were caught under the falling timbers and were burned to death. Four more were injured seriouslv. The suits were brought shortly afterwards and have attracted the attention of the entire legal fraternity of eastern Indiana because of the sum Involved in the final outcome and also because of the many points of legal interest which came up. The Harroll caso was pushed through as a test case, and now that a ruling has been made in his favor, all of the others will be pushed. Mission Chapel Dedicated. Special to the TnJiunapolis Journal.

BRYAN'S CON F1DENCE.

Filled with the Idea that He Is a Child of Destiny. Special In Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. I have just returned from a trip in the South with William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic candidate for tne presidency, in which 1 have had opportunity to see much of this unique nominee. I have talked with him, ttstened to his speeches and gauged the sentiment of the people toward him. Mr. Bryan is one of the most interesting men in public life. Just as his campaign is one of the mom peculiar this country has ever witnessed. The. most salient fact that strikes the person who studies Mr. Bryan at this time is that he regards himself as the child of destiny. He believes that an irresistible power, not In the control of men, is impelling him in this campaign and that he is but the helpless tool of fate. He is as confident that he will win us he is that the sun will rise to-morrow. He believes that he is the chosen instrument of a higher power that is shaping the ends of numarity in this country. He looks upon himself much in the light of the Messiah of a new political creed, the creed of humanity. He regards himself as being the chief factor in a movement for the betterment of mankind. Therefore he thinks nothing which is of this earth can stop his career. - However, notwithstanding this belief In a divinity hedging in his personality as being merely the representative of greater things, notwithstanding his confidence of victory for his cause, he does not hesitate to utter platitudes to win votes, to make distorted statements and draw perverted conclusions therefrom, in order to raise a cheer among his auditors. Such tricks are as old as politics. Every demanogu'; since the world began has used them. One would expect something different from the man Who believes that he is sailing, to victory on a wind blowing directly over the battlements of heaven, and blowing for his sake. One would think that under these circumstances he would regard It useless to resort to methods that were necessary when he was asking the support of the farmers of Nebraska in the ordinary campaign of a few years ago. I think it can be safely said that Mr. Bryan is disappointing to the majority cf his hearers. There is r.o doubt that to many people Mr. Bryan has been a hero since the day of his "crown and cross" sieech. In many cases he has been looked upon In the same light in which he regards himself; that is, as the personification of a great movement in behalf of a downtrodden people. Such being the case, -the people who hold this belief are ready to all but worship him when he is coming to a town to speak. Moreover, ttey have a general idea that he is a master of oratory, a man to set un audience on fire with the thrill of his eloquence to produce that kind of ecstacy of enthusiasm which sometimes sways an audience as wind does the grass. When the people see hirn and hear him these preconceived ideas are not realized. It is true that the first great burst of enthusiasm which greets his appearance before an audience this demonstration of the affection and regards which the people entertain for him. as e. result of their preconceived ideas it is true that this is not repeated during the evening. It registers the high-water mark of applause in the majority of cases. Mr. Bryan's speeches are not argumentative, as a rule, they are merely assertive. This may arise from a belief upon his part that nine-tenths of his auditors undf rstand the. silver question, are in sympathy with him and that it is useless to argue. The only trouble Is he Is thus allowed more time in which to make specious statements. Mr. Bryan makes assertions upon the rostrum which he would not dare to make on the floor of Congress, for in the latter place he would be called to account quick as a flash. I believe that Mr. Bryan loses friends and votes by his tours and speechmaking. He would do better to let the people cherish their ideal of the "cross-and-crown" and not disillusionize some of them as he is doing now. SILVER SCARE OVER. Xfiv York Merchants and Bankers Feel the Danger Is Over. New York Special In Chicago Post. This great banking and commercial com- J munuy, wnn us ieeiers out in every direction and with its senses trained to extraordinary 'acuteness in the habit of observation and "pulse-feeling," has evidently about reached the conclusion that the danger of a free-silver victory Is passing away. The money market is relaxing, bankers are "loosening up" and capital is crawling from concealment. Money1 is offered to-day on liberal terms by people who. a month ago. were in a state of fright would part with their lives before letting go their grip on their hoards of cash, and who would hurry back Into their cyclone cellars now were they not fully assured that sound money will win out in November. There is no guesswork, no sentiment and mighty little speculation In capital, putting it as an abstract .'proposition, but there is a keener preception of what Is going to happen and a surer reading of the signs of the times in the bardtlng houses and the counting rooms than about political headquarters: a more unerring judgment, even, than in the inner councils of the managers of the national campaigns. The commercial houses are In the closest kind of touch with the merchants In every city, town,, and hamlet in the country, and at times like these it is a life and death matter with them to learn the exact truth beating on the possible momentous changes that they mav make their plans accordingly. They do "not want colored reports and speculation, but facts, and they got facts from every possible source. The banks are the first to receive the benefit of the net results of this great mass of collected information derived from' first sources. Its significance is presently reflected in the stock and bond m. rkets and on the blackboards upon which are registered the fears, hopes and emotions of capitalists as they get rid of or add to their holdings of securities. Then the politicians "catch on to" the drift in public sentiment and the facts gradually come to the attention of the public in the form of interviews, "authorized statements" and through the columns of the newspapers. The fine perceptive sense of the leaders of finance, trade and transportation tells them of the waning of the free-coinage movement, and they have made up their minds that it will be safe to venture out of doors. Merchants are asked by their bankers if they cannot use a little money and are advised that it would not be regarded us an evidence cf imprudence to move the pickets of enterprise forward once more and plan to "spread out" within safe and conservative limits. No boom is suggested. Indeed, the caution is Invariably advanced that business men must not look for whirlwind prosperity, but rather a slow, substantial growth. hacd on a gradual and healthy restora. lion of confidence. It will lighten the hearts of countless thousands of hard-pressed business men throughout the West to know of the changed feeling in this the money heart of the Nation this developing buoyancy. The confidence that is noted is not yet a rohu.st ereaure. It will not have whiskers for many a long day. but it Is here, and unless a backset occurs it Is sure to stay and to grow. What was speculation a month ago. a bet on tho good sense of the country, can now be railed matured judgment, based on a myriad cf reports from and to men who had to get at the facts about the real strength of the free-silver movement that they might chape their business concerns intelligently. The results are seen in actions that speak louder than the chorus of a hundred thousand "spell-binders'' In a manifest improved condition of the controlling money markets of the country. Friends and fees alike of free silver are blind Indefd who do not see and appreciate the force anil significance of this situation. It Is the overshadowing and ull-lmportant sign of the hour. Real Outcome of Ilr hiiIniii. Chicago Tribune. It may be summed up thus: A owes R $1.0. W. A says, "I will give you l.iKio 50cent dollars." B says, "But I gave you l.OOO 10j-eent dollars." to which A would make renly, if the system were in operation. "The law says 50-ent dollars are legal tender." To cheat creditors out of half their honest Investment, arid in addition to this to cheat depositors who have nothing to do with these debts out of half their deposits, this is Bryanism and AK-gr-ldism. When this system is yet in operation over the United States the mischief will amount to billions of dollars. Ji,n Bryan never mentions that. He is only set king a w ay to pay debts In half value. He cares nothing for the results. Snme Old Woman. Atchison Globe.

Proper C'lioiee of 1linae for au ln vnlld Im h Mee (uentlon. New York Run. The London Lancet. In a recent Issue, discusses the views put forth with rcjard to the Influence of climate on disease hy Dr. Hermann Weber and Dr. Michael lter, lr an article which appears In the firt voluma of Allbutt's "System of Medicine." As tha subject is an Interesting and Important one, it may be well to outline the conclusions which are supported by blsh authority.' It has been said that the !ub.ect ia an Important one, but the extent of Its lmjxirt-anc.e.-until lately, was not rerognled fully. Formerly climatic treatment was almost restricted to disease of the rcjvirntory organs; now we know that the treatment of almost every chronic deviation from health, may be assisted by fudicious change of climate. What Is still often lacking on the part of patients nnd practitioners alike Ik precision in the choice of locality and a du appreciation of the capabilities and limitations of climatic treatment. It Is as absurd for a physician to recommend a given pluee on general principles as It is for v. diseased person to assume that u change of air alone will suffice to cure his malady. Kvcn in the case of phthisis, which l.a. teeelved an exceptional amount of attention and study, the selection of a suitable climate Is ofter a difficult problem, not merely from the obscurity of the subject, but also owing to the fuct that choice Is often circumscribed by extraneous consideration.'. Thus, If a patient be poor, a locality must be selected where there are facilities for earning a livelihood; and. ,in any event, the ueed of securing suitable accommodations raid congenial surroundings and companionship! must be kept in view. A locality theoretically desirable on pieteorologU al grounds may be too inaccessible, or there may be a lack of civilized society, occupation and amusement. ' Passing over these secondary question, which complicate the matter, we come to the primary inquiry whether In the case of phthisis calling for climatic treatment high, altitudes are likely to be suitable. It wilt not O.o to asiumc that the answer will be Hlways tn the aifirmative. Sometimes It Is better for the patient to go to such a seaside resort as the Riviera, or to the Nile valley, or to an island like Maderla; sometimes a sea voyage should be recommended. There is no doubt that early cases of Jnllateral or bilateral phthisis lu young and fairly vigorous i rsons, In whom the -disease Is of a limited character, should be sent to a mountainous region, like Switzerland, or Colorado, or the Adirondacks. The chief contra-lndlcatlons to the mountains are held to be. It seems, albuminuria, de generative diseases of blood vessels, ulceration of the intestines, advanced laryngeal mischief, active tuberculization, extensive destruction of lung tissue, constitutional erlthism and advanced age. These are, pronounced by the Lancet to be thoroughly sound rules. It used to be taught In the nrofession that if a phthisical patient had suffered from hemorrhage this should be regarded as a bar to cither a sea voyage or the mountains. The true view Is. according to the Lancet, that whll- an existing or very recent hemorrhage precludes a change of climate altogether, past hemorrhage is no bar to the mountains or to a sea voyage. The contra-lndlcatlons to the sea are laryngeal and intestinal complications and fever; on the other hand. a. sea voyage le useful whtre phthisis is part of a general break-down from overwork or In cases oC limited lung consolidation without fever. The Rlvl'VH. is deemed a suitable -place of sojourn for persons who find the Alps, or mountHins of equal altitude, too cold, or where phthisis Is complicated with catarrh al pneumonia or bronchitis. Madena l preferable where there Is much irritability of the muccus membrane. The patient who may be sent to lCsypt are these who find even the Riviera too cold, or those In whom phthisis Is Hsocinted with albuminuria, nrcvtdcd there has been no great destruction of lung tissue; and these, finally, who conspicuous symptoms are Insomnia and nervous irritability. The leading contra-lndlcatlons to Bgypt are intestinal ulceration, or a tendency te diarrhoea, or the early occurrence of acute pneumonic syuiptoms.-Thus we see what mistake It Is to take It for grunted that all sufferers from phthisis are beiictlud by the mountain air; on the contrary, a careful study of a given cafe is requisite In order to determine the particular locality frora which benefit may be expected. The rules for other diseases are much simplfr. Thus gout and rheumatism demand warm and dry Inland climate, or fnlrlvwai:n seashores. For most cafes of nervous disorder the mountains are. on the whole, unsuitable, and the Italic t u!so think that sea voyages are eonlru-indlcatf tl, herein reversing the opinion expressed by Dr. Weber nd Dr. Foster. Scrofula. I. e., lymphatics tuberculosis, is, on the other hand, notably benefited by a bracing marine resort, and for this maiady sea voyaf.es are also useful. Bronchitis in young persons is often ameliorated by the mountains; but for elderly persons the Riviera, Kgypt and the Canaries, that is to say. a warm cahore or Insular climate, are held more suitable. Asthma i.-t too erratic a disease to admit of definite rules: many asthmatics do best lr large towns. Young sufferers front asthma are often relieved by a stay In the Alps or similar mountain regions: those who are more advanced in yars are recommended to try Kgypt or the Riviera. The Lancet has rendered a servlcre by showing the necessity of nice discrimination in the selection of climates considered a remedial agencies. It also consoles thosa who. for one reason or another, are unablw to leave home, by reminding them that with judicious managemnt it is often possible for an Invalid to obtain great benefit oy availing himself of all the advantages ami defending himself from the Injurious inlluenccs of his homo climate.
