Sr-i tr th Indianapolis Journal. ANDF.RSON. Ind.. Oct. 27. The -week's campaign In Madison county closed toright with a huge demonstration In this city, amid a blaze of enthusiasm kindled by Col. W. T. Durbln and Senator Charles W. Fairbanks. The distinguished speakers were greeted by a crowd of cheering people that packed the courthouse lawn on three ill??. Bands cf music, drum corps and marching clubs escorted the speakers to the stand. Colonel Durbln presided and was greeted with salvos of applause from his fellowtownsmen. Colonel Durbln delighted his neighbors by making a capital speech, which caught the instant attention of everybody by its practical common sense end the force vith which he delivered it. He showed that the paramount issue in the campaign was merely & business one, a3 there were no wholly political Issues, and that Bryan's so-called issues were merely cloaks to hide his real and dangerous plans. Senator Fairbanks, who followed, paid a high compliment to Governor Mount and Colonel Durbln, saying the splendid administration the State has had under the former would te maintained by the latter, "who Is certain to be elected." The business condition of the country was then contrasted m the light of Mclvinley's performances and the Bryanistlc prophecies. The attitude of the Republican administration toward labor, and particularly as affixing the glass and other industries of th gas belt, was forcefully shown. The thousands present accorded Senator Fairbanks the closest attention and loudly applauded hi3 telling points against the Democracy. Republicans are delighted over the demonstration and know already that it was a great vote-making meeting. Day nt Salem. . f ecial to the Indianapolis Journal. SALEM, Ind., Oct. 27. To-day was Durbhi day, and one of the greatest rallies ever held In Salem brought fully ten thousand people to town. One of the biggest and finest parades ever seen here was made up of hundreds of marchers, fifteen bands, and scores of wagons from all over the county. There were floats, Rough Riders and a great delegation from the Quaker settlement. A carriage containing eight old men carried a banner reading "The Quakers will all vote for McKinley," Gen. C. E. Pickett, of Iowa, Mayor Dunlap, of Anderson, J. B. Wilson, of Bloomington, and Griffith Dean, of Marion, were the speakers at the two stands. 1 The Republicans are in good shape and will close the campaign with four big meetings next week, covering every part of the county. TIIOUSADS WERE THERE. Kokomo Wfloomed Enthusiastic Republican from All Howard County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Oct. 27. Howard county Republicans have reason to be proud of the great rally here to-day. Every township in the county was represented In the parade by one or more marching clubs, and each of the eleven townships also had a troop of one hundred mounted and uniformed Rough Riders, making nearly 1,200 horsemen. Another feature of the parade was the industrial floats put on by the city of Kokomo and Center township, representing nearly every factory and workshop in town. In the afternoon speeches were made simultaneously in different parts of the city, the speakers being Senator Fairbanks, W. D. Bynum, Fred Landls, Colonel Durbln, Bartlett Tripp and R. II. Lansford. the latter of Nebraska. All had magnificent audiences, limited only by the compass of the human voice, and the enthusiasm was unbounded. In all. it was the greatest political demonstration ever witnessed in this section of the State. Excursion trains brought thourands from other towns. The out townships all furnished large delegations and their floats were among the most elaborate in the procession. The factories exhibited boxes of goods consigned to Cuba. Porto Rico, Honolulu, Alaska and the Philippines- illustrating the enlarged markets for American products. The souphouses and demoralized conditions of four years ago were strikingly contrasted with the industrial situation to-day. The parade was the longest ever seen here, it being more than an hour in passing the reviewing stand at the Clinton Hotel, occupied by Senator Fairbanks. Colonel Durbin. W. D. Bynum and the other speakers of the day. L transport sent a delegation of nearly l.'j and other towns nearly as many. There was another parade to-night and more speeches. The crowd at night was even larger than in the afternoon. Democrats concede it to be the biggest monstration in the history of the town. Howard county Republicans are confident of swelling their majority to 1,500 this year. Four years ago it was 1,050. WILSON AXD ENGLISH. They Address nvy Enthusiast! ft Audience at Franklin.

Miers, member of Congress, made a speech here this afternoon to the Lfmocrats. Few people heard the address and there was little enthusiasm in the demonstration. ,

OTHER MEETINGS. A Neighbor of 3Ir. Bryan Made n Good Speech nt Tipton. Special to the Indianapoll Journal. TIPTON, Ind., Oct. 2T.-Last night Frank W. Collins, of Lincoln. Neb., spoke to a crowded house at the Kleyla Theater, many being turned away for lack of standing room. He made one of the strongest, most logical and practical speeches made here during this campaign, and the audience listened with Intent interest. He handled the imperialism, sound money and trust questions In a clear manner, and the audlenc repeatedly broke into applause. The speech was of a vote-getting characterclean, honest and forceful. He left a good impression . and his arguments are being quoted to-day on the streets. Being a personal friend and neighbor of Bryan made his argument all the more interesting. It was the last Republican meeting that will be held In thl3 city during the campaign, and Its good effect will be felt at the polls. At Fountalntown A great Republican rally Saturday afternoon was addressed by James E. Watson and George L. Douglas. Large delegations from Morrisfown and adjoining places filled the town with an enthusiastic throng. McKInley's administration has been so satisfactory that many voters at Morristown will vote for him who were opposed to him four years ago, while there is but one man in the township who voted for McKinley four years ago that will not do so thi3 year. At Mount Vernon-Jerry L. Suddarth, of English, made the best speech there Friday night that has been heard at that place during the present campaign. For two hours he held a splendid audience perfectly. He showed in an Interesting way the weakness of the Democratic party in its dealing with the trust question, and denounced that part of the Kansas City rlatform dealing with imperialism and militarism as an Insult to American common sense, patriotism and manhood. Republicans of Posey county are enthusiastic, and have hopes of materially reducing Bryan's majority, and of electing a part of the county ticket. At North Vernon A. C. Rankin, cf Chicago, addressed a splendid Republican audience Friday night. In a speech of great wit, eloquence and power. For over two hours the speaker discussed the important issues. of the campaign in a manner that brought salvos of applause from the enthusiastic audience. At Richmond Nelson Crews, the colored orator of Missouri, spoke Saturday night for the Republicans, and he was greeted by a large audience. His speech was very effective and was well received The Rev. Mr. Masterson was chairman of the meeting. At Gosport. Judge William A. Johnson, of Franklin, made an eloquent address Saturday night. There was a big crowd, good music and great enthusiasm. In eloquent periods the speaker showed that Bryanism to-day Is on the same platform as Democracy in 1S64 opposition to the flag. The old soldiers present were much pleased with Judge Johnson's presentation of the Issues. At Batesville Charles Martindale, of Indianapolis, spoke Saturday night to a large and enthusiastic crowd. In which were Democrats. The speech was a splendid presentation of the issues of the campaign, delivered with force and received with enthusiasm. The arguments presented were unanswerable, and the speech was effective for much good. At Shelbyville James E. Watson closed his campaign In Shelby county Saturday night by speaking in the Republican headquarters. Fully 1,000 peopla heard him and hundreds more lingered on the sidewalks outside, expecting him to speak there. At Seymour Dr. D. R. Lucas, of Indianapolis, spoke to a crowded house Saturday night. Not less than 500 people were turned away from the hall, after it was packed to tne doors. The Powell Marching Club was out, 150 strong, with illuminated dinned pails, and made a fine showing. Dr. Lucas made a telling speech. Ho will remain over Sunday and preach at the Christian Church. At Connersvllle One of the best and most enthusiastic Republican meetings of the campaign, was addressed by E. E. Hendee, of Anderson, at Everton, Saturday evening. The hall was not large enough to hold half the people present. The village of Everton is Democratic, but if the crowd Is good evidence, it will leave the old rut Nov. 6. At LIgonler Attorney General William L. Taylor addressed a large and enthusiastic meeting Friday night, making one of the best speeches of the local campaign. Mr. Taylor created great enthusiasm and was frequently Interrupted by hearty and prolonged applause. The Republicans are very enthusiastic over his speech and party interest has advanced several degrees. Had a Good Bleetins; at Carthage. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CARTHAGE, Ind., Oct. 27.-Carthage Republicans feel gratified over the success of the Durbin-Watson meeting. The attendance, tho decorating, the parades, the fireworks, the general Interest all made the event one to remember. The Rushvllle and Arlington bands and Carthage Flambeaux Brigade led tho parade, and fireworks distributed among the marchers made the parade a beautiful sight as they came through town. The reception given at the hotel in the afternoon was a pleasant occasion and many have since expressed a desire that such occasions may come frequently. The speech of Mr. Watson was very fitting, and Mr. Durbin's showed his good Judgment and business-like way of thinking. V. S. Taylor In Wabash County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., Oct. 27.-Ex-Governor William j3. Taylor, of Kentucky, addressed the largest and best country meeting of the campaign In Wabash county. The gathering was held at Lafontaine. A big tent had been erected near the sawmill and long before 2 o'clock it was crowded to suffocation. Mr. Taylor spoke for nearb two hours and held all of his audience of 3,000 to the last word. His remarks were on the issues of Imperialism and the suppression of the Republican vote In the Southern States. It was a masterful argument for a free ballot and a fair count, and a thorough exposure of the hypocrisy of the Bryanite claim that the liberties of the American people are In danger. Heveridpre Welcomed at Warren. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WARREN, Ind., Oct. 27. The Republican mass meeting at Warren to-day was the largest and best ever held in the town. Three companies of Rough Riders, a company of old soldiers, mounted on duncolored horses, a company of men carrying umbrellas and banners, citizens in carriages and four bands met Senator Beverldge at the train and paraded the streets at 1 o'clock. An audience of fully five thousand people greeted him In a field adjoining1 the town and heard the senator deliver one of his typically eloquent and convincing speeches. A number of converts to Republicanism are reported as the result of the speech. SterenRon's Indiana Itinerary. CHICAGO. Oct. 27.-Ad!aI E.

Fully 2,000 people were present. ' Notes of Indiana Politics. Covington Democrats heard Charles A. Towne, of Minnesota. Friday.

It is confidently expected to have a record-breaking demonstration. PECULIAR CALLINGS. Queer Ways by Which Some People Make a Llvinsr. New York Mail and Express. If it be true that the world owes every man a living, it must be confessed that many persons have adopted novel ways of collecting the debt. The Inhabitants of every small town, village or hamlet In the country are acquainted with the man who has no special or steady employment and who can be engaged at any time to do "odd Jobs," provided they do not demand too arduous labor in their accomplishment. But In New York there are men who devote all of their time to callings more peculiar than any of the various "odd Jobs" the village ne'er-do-well is called upon to perform. Over on the west side of town a man owning the classic name of Wagner devotes his time to the tuning of accordions. These instruments, vulgarly known as tenementhouse pianos, must be more numerous than most people imagine to keep busy even this one man, who Is the only person scheduled in this employment. A profession comparatively unknown a decade ago that of the writer and designer of advertisements now has a score of followers who devote their time and abilities to designing attractive and striking announcements for their clients, and to a study of the most profitable mediums in which they shall appear. There are four firms in the city that deal in nothing but bustles. Six men are engaged in peel-making. For the benefit of the uninformed, it may be stated that a peel is the. broad, long-handled wooden shovel used by bakers to handle bread In the oven. Two men, both in the downtown business section, are expert exterminators of rats and other vermin, and may be called upon at any time to clear your house of pests. Another man, a specialist In his field, has made an exhaustive study of the habits of moths, and to the busy housewife who Is now unpacking winter clothing his services probably will be valuable. Should you be desirous of wearing more decorations on your cuticle than nature has supplied, thre5 men in New York are at your disposal who will tattoo upon you any weird or fanciful design you may desire. In the various boroughs are men who keep hospitals for dogs and cats, where the pets of those ptrsons who are wealthy enough to pay for their care may be taken when ill and receive as much attention as a human being c.oes whea in like condition. There are young women who earn a livelihood by going from house to house among their wealthy employers and dusting the rare and costly bric-a-brac which is too valuable to be trusted to the tender mercies of the servants. In one of the up-town streets, where the wealthy residents are willing to pay to have tho comfort and well-being of their pets looked after, a young man may be seen each morning and evening, leading the dogs of the neighborhood up and down the street. He is said to be unusually careful of his charges, because many of them are of rare and costly breeds. An advertisement in a dramatic paper Indicates that a theatrical manager has discovered a new field for some genius to occupy. The "ad" called for a man to "rube towns." That means that a man was wanted who would dress as a country Jay and who would excite Interest In the towns where this manager's company was to play by wandering about the streets and staring at the posters advertising the attractions. Other freak Ideas In advertising have given employment to men who had no pride or ambition to prevent them from accepting what they considered an easy Job, although it probably would have been a torturing experience to one who was in the least degree sensitive. Apparently two of the happiest individuals in the city are the two negroes who saunter through the busiest parts of tho city attired in clothing of startling colors and exaggerated cut. Their conspicuousness is supposed to be of benefit to tho tailoring concern that employs them. A dentist further up town employs a very stout, very happy-looking negro to distribute his business cards. This man is attired as Uncle Sam. in all the glory of bright red. white and blue, and he seems to enjoy the attention his peculiar costume attracts. Chinese 4Nerv'elesncs., London Chronicle. "Nervelessness" is, according to a German professor, the peculiar characteristic in virtue of which the Chinese may ultimately beat Europeans In the struggle for existence. The Chinaman., he says, can write all day, stand in one position all day, weave, beat gold, carve Ivory, do infinitely tedious jobs for ever and ever, and discover no more weariness or irritation than If he were a machine. This quality appears in early life. There are no restless, naughty boys In China. They are all appallingly good, and will plod at school without holidays or recreation of any kind. Sport or play if we except cards and kiteflying seem to John Chinaman waste labor. He can Bleep anywhere, amid rattling machinery, deafening uproar, squalling children or quarreling adults, on the floor, on a bed. on a chair, and In any position. And in the increasing complexity cf civilized life, when half the population may bo expected to be "all nerves." this quality of "nervelessness," the professor thinly, will 12 cf i-c-lculitla value.

LAST ATTEMPT. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST TAGR) pres3 inclosure. The financier took his ccat off and said: "I will sit the meeting out." He was not recognized by many. His nephew said that while Mr. Sage was a Republican he was anxious to see Mr. Bryan and witness the demonstration in his honor. At 8 o'clock It was estimated that there were fully 14,000 people in, the garden. At 7:1$ o'clock the speakers reached the garden. They were W. Bourke Cockran, Senator Hill, Senator Wellington, Anson Phelps Stokes, and William R. Hearst and they received an ovation. They went to their places on the platform and Mr. Hearst, as temporary chairman, nominated Anson Phelps Stokes as presiding officer. Mr. Stokes had uttered but a few words when he was Interrupted by wild cheers. Mrs. Bryan had entered her box. She was wildly, fcreeted and responded with smiles and bows. The band played "America." while the cheering lasted. As soon as quiet was restored Mr. Stokes finished his speech. Following Stokes's address he introduced ex-Senator Hill who was greeted with great enthusiasm. W. Bourke Cockran was the next speaker. The booming of bombs on the outside of the garden at 10 o'clock announced the arrival of Mr. Bryan. The crowd arose en masse and sent forth a roar of welcome. The band played "Yankee Doodle," but It could not be heard ten feet away: Every one was standing, waving a flag, shouting. Mr. Bryan and his party and Mr. Croker In the adjoining box waved flags and added their cheers to those of their fellowaudltors. When Mr. Bryan arrived at the garden ho was presented with an Immense bunch of chryanthemuir.s by a young girl. He took the flowers, uttered a hasty expression of thanks and shook the girl's hands. He went to the front of the speaker's platform, and the applause then deepened. He stood there, looking towards the box in whicn his wife sat and occasionally looking about the garden with a smile. He finally waved his hand for silence, but it was ten minutes longer before quiet was restored. His voice was strong and clear and he seemed to be in excellent physical condition. MR. BRYAN'S SPEECH. Mr. Bryan began his address by speaking of the importance of the Democratic Clubs. In connection with his discussion of the trusts Mr. Bryan mentioned the names of Senator Hanna and Governor Roosevelt, . whereupon there were hlssej and groans from different parts of the assemblage. Mr. Bryan again referred to the utterances credited to Senator Scott, cf West Virginia, to the effect that "trusts were a good thing," and referred to the fact that Senator Scott Is In charge of the Eastern branch of Republican headquarters. He said he cited these facts to show that the Republican party is the defender of trusts. "Think," he exclaimed, "of a party taking a position as Senator Scott has done, that the Standard Oil trust is a blessing to this country." Mr. Bryan said In part: "I am glad to-be here to-night, not only for the opportunity it gives me to meet again the people of New York, but because I am glad to give expression to my appreciation of the great work which has been done and is being done by the National Association of Democratic Clubs and by the able and efficient president of the association, Mr. Hearst. The clubs have been of great assistance in perfecting the organization of the party and in collecting money for the campaign, and the liberality of the president of the association nas been an inspiration to the members of the clubs." The work remaining for the clubs to do Is to get our vote to the polls and guard the count. "In fcearchlng for a text for this evening's speech, I found a passage In Proverbs which sets forth the thought which I desire to impress upon you. You will And It in Chapter xxil, Verse 28: 'Remove not the ancient landmarks which thy fathers have set. The Democratic party Is the conservative party of to-day, the Republican party the revolutionary party. The Democratic party is defending timehonored principles, the Republican party is urging new experience. The Democratic party is applying familiar principles to new conditions, the Republican party is re

moving the ancient landmarks. In advoeating bimetallism we advocate a financial system whose usefulness Is attested by thousands of years of history, as well as by our own national . "experience and by the past platforms' of the Republican party and all other parties. In advocating the greenback we are advocating a money first issued by the Republican party, approved by the Supreme Court, and never condemned in a Republican platform. In advocating an Income tax we advocate a system which received the sanction of Abraham Lincoln, end which Is now practiced In many of the leading nations of Europe. In opposing government by injunction we are simply defending the Jury system which has been described as the bulwark of English freedom and is as important here as in England. The meanest thief and the blackest murderer are entitled to trial by jury. Why should a laboring man be denied such a trial merely because some great corporation is his antagonist. In advocating arbitration we are applying to the relations which now exist between employer and employes the old theory of the eld court of Justice, wherein disputes were settled by right rather than by might. But I call especial attention to the fact that the Republicans in this campaign have adopted three new and dangerous theories, first that Industrial despotism is wise; second, that a large army is necessary, and, third, that a colonial policy is right. "It Is impossible to overestimate the effect of a change from industrial independence to the reign of private monopoly. It !s a revolution, the magnitude of which cannot be overstated, and the far-reaching consequences of which cannot be estimated. The large army is a natural sequence of the trust system. If the people are to be plundered by a powerful and merciless monopolist, if hundreds of thousands of laborers are to receive a daily pittance at the hand of an industrial master, a large army will be necessary to silence complaints and overawe those who believe in the golden rule. "The adoption of a colonial policy can only be construed as a command to halt in our progress toward higher ideals, and to turn back toward the dark ages of fore and fear. It is a notification to the world that our day's work for humanity is done and that we are entering the twilight which presages, the darkness of the empire." Senator Wellington, of. Maryland, who followed Colonel Bryan at the garden, was Introduced as "a man who supported McKinley four years ago." He spoke very briefly, x Mr. Bryan had a hard time getting out of the garden and out of the speakers' stand. The police vigilance seemed to be unavailing. Hundreds of men swarmed around the speakers' stand and the press stand. The crowd quickly choked the small stairway down which Mr. Bryan had to pass. Chief Devery stood helpless in the center of the surging crowd and Mr. Bryan's companions had to force a passage for him and themselves through the throng. Another crowd rushed toward the box that Mrs. Bryan had occupied, and in five minutes the floral decorations were carried off as souvenirs. The party finally succeeded in getting away from the building. When Mr. Bryan came out of the garden he went to the stand near the Dewey arch. lie spoke there but a short time and from there went to the stand on the other side of the square at Twenty-fourth street. He got to this last stand at 11:25 o'clock and left fifteen minutes later. He way driven to the Hoffman House, and went at once to his room. He said he felt a little tired, but not at all exhausted. : SPEECH AT NEW HAVEN. Mr. Bryan Talks to Yale Students and Ansvrers Questions. NEW YORK. Oct. 27. W. J. Bryan visited Connecticut to-day and returned to this city in the afternoon. While at New Haven he was asked for a statement of his views on the settlement of the anthracite coal striae and replied as follows: "I am very glad to learn that the strike is settled. The fact that the men have secured an advance is not only gratifying, but it shows that there was Just cause for their complaint. But the fact that they were Idle a month and that the consumers of coal have had to pay a higher price for the coal, which was the cause of the strike, shows how important it Is to have arbitration for the settlement of differences between labor and capital. A just system of arbitration would have ecured to , tfca miners the ad vanta which they have frained. nnd probably a still greater cdvantz "2 TTltcut tho lc:3 vrUzh they fciva cu!-

128 and 130 North Pennsylvania St. fered; It would also have saved the public the loss which has been visited upon it." In his speech at New Haven, many Yale students being among his auditors, Mr. Bryan said: "We are now near the close of this campaign so near to it that we can see what the Republicans have done, and we can guess all that they will do between now and election day, and I want to call your attention to the fact that the Republican campaign is confessedly a failure. The Republican party to-day has failed to make the campaign that It started out to make, and to-day it is not in a position to defend Itself before the public. "The Republican party.", he said, "does not to-day stand for any policy that is good for the laborer. One of the present Injustices of the Republicans is government by injunction. The meanest thief, the blackest tnurderer. Is given a trial for his offense, and the man who labors has an equal right to that proceeding. To-day the Republicans don t expect to get the votes of the great majority of. the laboring men, and I will give you one evidence of It. As the election approaches you will find more and more evidence of an attempt to coerce. If the laboring men are prosperous, If they attribute their prosperity to the Republican party, why Is it necessary for the Republicans to threaten them with idleness and starvation unless they vote the Republican ticket? I will give you an answer to that question. Whenever a man threatens to turn you out of work if you don't vote the Republican ticket, you tell him that if this country is half so prosperous as Republicans say it is, you will be able to get another Job, even If you lose the one you have." COMPARED TO A HIGHWAYMAN. Presenting his remedies for the suppression of the trusts, Mr. Bryan said he would remove the tariff from all trustmade articles. Closing his reference to the trusts, the speaker denounced them as indefensible and intolerable and compared the trust magnate to the highwayman. "The only difference," he said, "is that the highwayman takes great risks and gets a little bit, while the trust magnate takes little risk and gets a great deal." Dismissing the trusts, Mr. Bryan said: "Last night at a banquet in New York to the Republican candidate for Vice President Senator Scott, of West Virginia," made a statement that I am going to read to you. He said: 'Right here I want to say I believe in trusts; they are a good thing,' and then recognizing that he said a dangerous thing for a' Republican to say in a campaign, he turned and said: Tf that newspaper man puts that down I will make trouble for him.' " Mr. Bryan was on the point of closing his speech, when some one in a distant part of the hall made an Inquiry about free silver. Mr. Bryan replied vigorously. In a sharp tone of voice, he said: "I am dene, but I am going to stop long enough to answer that gentleman. I have been talking to those men whose ideas emanated from the head and not from the pocketbook. Now I am going to answer those who cannot soar higher than the pantspocket. I want to remind the man who wants to know about silver that you don't have to ask questions to nnd our policy on the money question. If the gentleman can read he can read a platform that states the party's position, so that even a Republican can understand it, and if he has not had time to read the platform and knows anything of me, he knows where I stand, whether there Is a platform or not. When tne money question was paramount we talked about It and the Republicans wartod to talk about the tariff; and now, when the Republicans assail the principles of government instead of defending the policy of imperialism, they want to talk about the money question. The money question can be settled at any time. The question of government must be settled now. You can live under any kind of a money standard, but you cannot live under the doctrine of an empire and believe in free government. REPUBLICANS MISREPRESENTED. "While our position on these questions Is known you cannot find what the Republican position, is on any of these questions. Even the President himself approved of a platform which held out the hope of International bimetallism and the Republican party never opened Its mouth about the gold standard until the Wall-street financiers repudiated the President's own platform and adopted a gold standard platform. At the last session of Congress a financial bill was adopted which, by its terms, makes necessary a perpetual debt in order to provide bonds as a basis for banknotes, and the Republican party now declares that the policy is better than the old policy of paying off the debt and relieving the people of the burden of taxation. The Republicans are not prepared to meet the issues, but when you ask them what they think about the purchase of 8,000,000 people at 12.50 a piece they do not talk anything about the people. The only thing they think about is the two dollars and a half, and when ypu tell them that you are not willing to send carpet-baggers over there and maintain them with a standing army to overawe and rule what they call an inferior race the only answer they have is that some of the Southern States ' have made amendments to their constitutions which exclude from voting the colored man who cannot read. And yet your own (President has imposed qualifications In Porto Rico that .exclude 83 per cent, of the black men of voting age In Porto Rico from exercising the franchise, but not only that, but he takes away from them the protection of the Constitution. But why should a man in Connecticut make that objection, for the last amendment to your own Constitution fixes an educational qualification In the State of Connecticut." Mr. Bryan occupied the rear coach of a special train on his way from New Haven to New York, and he stopped for a few moments at each of the towns of Bridgeport, South Norwalk, Stanford and Port Chester. One of the coaches of the train was paid for and occupied by about 150 Yale students, comprising the Democratic club of that Institution. They had scarcely left New Haven when Mr. Bryan was invited into . the Yale car and there given such a hearty reception as he has seldom received. He was introduced to all the members of the club, and Joined with them In singing some of thlr college songs, himself leading in intoning "Here's to Oood Old Yale." II was presented with a YaU banner, and went back, into his, cwn car waving the banner and giving the test Imitation he could of the college yell. All the speeches along the road were made frcn the rear platform of the taw car, and there were good audiences at a'l the stopping places. At Brifjrpert the crowd was qu te demonstrative, tut Hr.

man (P. T. Barnum), who had a show. The Republican party would like to so manage this country that only a few men can have a show. We want It a place where all men can have a show." At Stamford Mr. Bryan said: "I want to call your attention to one advantage we have now that we did not have in 1S:K. Then nearly all the large cities of the country were against us, and their mayors were , Republicans. Thus it happened that if there was fraud we had 'no opportunity to put a stop to it. Now nearly all th3 large cities have Democratic mayors. Your own city Is Included in that list, as is NewYork, the largest city In the country; Chicago, the second In size; San Francisco. Indianapolis, Louisville, St. Paul, Minneapolis. Milwaukee and many others. We are., therefore. In a position to protect the ballot In these cities from any attempt at fraud. I hope that when the election is over and the votes are counted that Connecticut will be found on the side of the United States and not on the side of Europe on this question of Imperialism, which is involved In this campaign."

Baltimore fe Ohio Pisces Heavy Orders Conditional on Election. BALTIMORE, Oct.. 26. The purchase of 9,000 railroad cars and the building of a $400,000 ocean coastwise liner hinge upon President McKinley's re-election. Both have been authorized, the former by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and tho latter by the Maine Steamship Company, in a contingent contract placed at Roach's shipyard in Chester, Pa., but both orders will be canceled should Mr. Bryan be elected. ' John K. Cowen, president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, speaking at a mass meeting of the Sound Money League In this city, said to-day: "On my recommendation the executive committee of our road has authorized the purchase of 9,000 cars, equivalent to 13.000 cars of the old thirty-ton draft. If the kind Providence of heaven should not guard us against the disaster of Bryan's election I will cancel the order. "Where do we get our money to get these cars? We take some three'mllllons and put it In our property and the rest we must get from the securities. The trust companies and guardians of estates, and the men with millions, gathered from small rivulets, say to us that we do not know what Bryan's election may mean. It will spell disaster. The mines that furnish the money, the men that furnish the enterprise and the capital and organized Industries are In doubt. Hesitation, disaster, are before us, and we must wait and see. "Bryan blocks the way if he is elected. Mount Clare suffers. Locust Point suffers, Curtis Bay suffers, Baltimore suffers. West Virginia suffers and Ohio suffers, and every community we serve suffers, because of fear of Bryan's repudiation winning." JONES MAKES A CHARGE.

Explained by a Pipe and a Bottle of Whisky. Frederick Rosslyn, In LIppIncott's. Stories of the intemperate habits of tht elder Junius Brutus Booth are not uncommon, and here Is a characteristic oner During an engagement the business and stage managers had to keep an eye on him night and day, and yet he very aften succeeded in outwitting them. On one occasion, after an unusually serious and prolonged outbreak, the manager locked Booth up In his dressing room and put th lfv nf Vi A rlrtif in Vi f a ewn nnV.t Thj rear of the theater, like that of almost all theaters, opened on an unfrequented alley, and the great actor's dressing room was on the ground floor. Now, opening directly into this aller was a door, but this door was also locked and the key reposing In the manager's pocket. Booth a?3odl tr- his diseased thirst, however, an almost devilish cunning, and he soon deviled a plan by which he could obtain the liquor for which he craved. Listening at tha door which opened into the alleyway, ha feoon heard a passing footstep, and softly rapped on the panel. The footsteps lagged and then stopped. "What Is it?" said a voice. Booth knew the voice; it was, as ha hoped, a hanger-on about the theater, th sort of young man wc would now call a tough. "Listen." said the actor. "I will thruat a bank note under the door, and I want you to -go to the tavern at the corner anl buy a bottle of whisky and a long-stemmed clay pipe. When you return I will tell you what I want done.". The young tough departed on his errardl and quickly returned. Then ho was instructed to thrust the long stem of tlia pipe through the keyhole of the door, and slowly to pour the whisky Into the bowl. As a result of this easy strafegem, tha bewildered stage manager found the famous actor In a drunken stupor when h came to release him In the evening, and was forced once more to appear before tha curtain and to say: "Ladies and gentlemen. I regret to announce that a sudden and serious indisposition will prevent Mr. Booth fr:ni appearing on the stage to-night." CURE .OT PERM VM:.T. One Case Where the Laying: ()u of Hands Didn't Work. Pittsburg Chronicle. The long-haired person was exposing himself to the night air for a two-fold purpose. He was there to heal the sick arnl heel himself. He had the usual tdreec crowd about him and among them wefe the halt, the lame and the blind, who were willing to allow him to. lay on hands if 1,9 didn't lay them on too heavy. Some 'believed; others were skeptical. One that would be picked out as a believer was & falr-halred, blur-eyed boy who wulked with a crutch. "You may ask me to explain my power," said the long-haired one before any one could ask him, ' but 1 cannot. It was revealed to me mysteriously years ago whea I was still in the cradle. My nurse va afillcted with Sru Vitus dance. One day bychance I laid hands on her head and sha was instantly cured. It is a precious gift to me from the Ird and I am using it for the benefit of suffering humanity. I ak no money: I accept no money, unless you drop it in this hat which I lay here in plain sight of all. Ah, there is an Innocent, trusting child whom the Lord has j-ent here to be healed. Step up my lad and you may throw away your crutch." The boy stepped up and the long-haired person dramatically laid the open palm of his hands on the towsled head, rolling his eyes upward at the same time and assuming a general air of sanctity. "Go thy way. my child; thy faith has made thee whole. Leave me this crutch as a souvenir." "Leggo my crutch!" said the boy. "Think I'd make a monkey out o myself hoppirT around on one leg fer such a need-a-hair-cut galoot as you?" The healer looked then for the first tlmo and saw that the boy's left lc was mining from the thigh down. He didn't insist on keeping the crutch. City XtrToniBfii, New York Times. "City nervousness Is something you know of, but may never have noted before. It is simply the result of the Influence of conditions and environment, it comes without apparent reason and with no notice." That la what a young man said at an experience meeting held in a broker's office yesterday. "I have watched myself the last few years and have noticed the symptoms. As a rule, you or I, supposing we have lived in Nw York for years, can go about in the mid.-t of noise and crowds perfectly oblivious to the Intensity of the sound or the density of the rush. But there do come times occasionally, in my case at least, when I get Into the human current on I'.ro.idwaj and completely loso my lack sensitive nf s for a time. Then my head begins to ache; I am fatigued beyond expression. The rumble of trucks and the clang of car bells beat on my ears like hammers on sounding bra. I rind myself for no reason rushing alon at a break-neck speed, elbowing, dodging, stepping off Into the gutter, climbing on to gratings, indignant at others who walk slowly In front of me, intolerant of two or three sauntering along abreast. I duck under the necks of cab horses when crossing a street, venture a close call before a swllt cable car, and fairly dance behind others on their way up to an elevated station, t2cause I cannot plungo along two steps at a time. Then I become conscious of tha needless hurry. But it seems lmporritls to slow up. The rush and crush and swinr c2 It all have drawn the n?rves into srvirt chron:2tic rhythm.
