While .William Jennings Bryan la tourlngj far-off India,, digging up information regarding the customs of an ancient. people for the enlightenment of the American people whom he in this respect is serving through the medium of the Hearst Syndicate of newspapers, his friends In America with Borne of his former political enemies, have very successfully resurrected him from the political tomb of oblivion. Though Bryan is ten thousand miles from tho center of population in the United States the sentiment In his party is sweeping the country and oven William Randolph Hearst, who has dreamed for many days of the presidency, Is forced, by this popular wave, to endorse him as the candidate In 1908. When a calm political research of the past Is made. It appears that Bryan, riding the crest of the wave of popularity today, Is no stronger than he was apparently In the two campaigns which resulted in such ignominious defeats. The wild enthusiasm of his followers then can not be greater In the campaign that Is to come. The St, Louis Globe-Democrat refuses to "view with alarm" the new coming of the Nebraskan. The Globe-Democrat says: The rising wave of Bryan sentiment In the Democracy of the nation shows that Providence is still on the side of the Republican party. Missouri's state convention has demanded Bryan's nomination in 1903. A, large portion of Missouri's county Democratic conventions of 1906 had previously boomed Bryan for the candidacy. Many county conventions in Ohio, Indiana and other states have declared for Bryan. The present outlook Is that he will be nominated on the first ballot in" 1908. The only person apparently who can headoff his unanimous nomination is William It. Hearst, who seeks the candidacy for himself, but who will not get it Ex-Governor Francis enthusiastic tribute to Bryan as a national leader for 1903 shows the drift which is sending a large portion of the goldele xnent of the Democracy over to tho sliver chief of the canvasses of 1896 and 1900. Bryan will be feted In New York by the gold Democrats on his arrival in this country in August, after his swing around the globe. Madison Square Garden, the largest hall in the city, is to be used as his greeting place. Prominent Democrats of all factions of the party and of all sections of the country willtbe invited to the gathering. Many of them undoubtedly will be there. An attempt will bo made to get Cleveland and Parker to attend. This will probably be unsuccessful. In default of their appearance on the scene an endeavor will be made to extract tributes for Bryan from each of them by letter. This probably will also fall. But most of the Cleveland and Parker faction will support Bryan. He will be the nomlnee.ln 190S, and he will make a strong canvass. , William J. Bryan's name will never be carolled on the list of Presidents , of the United States, . His candidacy will Insure a Republican victory in 1903. But the Republicans will be compelled to put their strongest, man at the head of their ticket. They will be forced to make a campaign which will b3 active and Inelligcnt from start to ilnish. Moreover,' they will bo compelled to continue the excellent record which they have made under I'ersldont Roosevelt and the successivo congresses of his party, especially the present congress. We shall not have a Parker canvass two years hence. The Republican majority will not be so tumultuously great in 190S as it was In 1904. but it will be sufficient to keep the government for

'( at least another f eysrriauhtno V at least another four years In the control of th Republican party, , .

MARTIN A. KNAPP, CHAIRMAN INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION. The long straggle over the rate bill has brought more prominently before the . public ' the interstate commerce commission, which body has played no small part In Initiating and promoting that act. Mr. Knapp, the chairman of the commission, has been a member of the body for fifteen, years and its head for more than eight. He was born in the state of New York in 1843 and practiced law for many years at Syracuse, for a time acting as corporation counsel.

UNCLE JOSEPH VERYJELOOUEHT In Language That Cannot be Misunderstood he Commends Watson. SHIP SUBSIDY MEASURE. CONGRESSMAN WATSON HOLDING UP THE BILL AND AND SPEAKER CANNON IS UPHOLDING SUCH ATTITUDE. Palladium Special.. Indianapolis, June 10. A special dispatch from Washington to the Star says that the ship subsidy advocates are bringing tremendous pressure to bear to secure a favorable report. Representative James E. Watson holds the key to the situation. President Roosevelt and other men high in official life are urging Watson to consent to a favorable report to pass it. Watson says he positively will not change front. Speaker Cannon commends Watson's attitude. He said to the Indiana member today: "You are right and I will stand by you until ice freezes in h 1."

THE SAME OLD FOURTH WILL BE NOTHING DOING There Will be the Usual Excursions Carrying Hundreds of People From the City May be Some Observance of Day at Jackson Park. "Fourth of July" is scheduled to be here as usual this year, arriving on Wednesday, three weeks from the Wednesday of this week. In Richmond, the observance will be marked with excursions and fireworks, but nothing of importance is expected to happen. Dealers have already ordered their fireworks for 1906 and will soon have them on display. There are no new features.. A catalogue of fireworks and cannon crackers does not offer and new and startling devices of powder and noise. The old style rockets and roman candles are the most popular for evening, still, while the young boy makes noise with the aid of the cannon cracker and toy cannon. , The toy pistol with its blank cartridges will be on hand again, but the public has become so well educated to the danger that lies in them that very few boys will be allowed by their parents to celebrate in this way. On the Fourth of July, there are usually excursions in all directions, taking hundreds of people out of the city. There will probably be some sort of program at Jackson Park in the afternoon but aside from that, there will be nothing in the line of public amusements in Richmond, so far as arranged. ENGLISH ETCHINGS. Attentive is the name of Britain's latest twenty-five knot scout ship. In Reddington, England, hot oatmeal mush is delivered with the milk each morning to those who desire It. So many of London's motor buses break down that a service of "tugs" has been organized for the towing home of derelicts. Members of the new house of commons have started a prayer meeting. It is held on Tuesday afternoons in one of the committee rooms. A new party has been formed in the house of commons, but Its object Is not political. What it hopes to effect is a reduction in the parliamentary barber shop of the price of shaving from 24 cents to 12 cents. MODES OF THE MOMENT. Scalloped linen ruching is a novelty. Steel beaded purses are the thing for the gray gown. Paquin green Is a dark, heavy looking leaf reen, almost the color of ivy. Velvet ribbons of all colors and widths are to be a great deal used this summer. A pretty feature of muslin gowns is the prevalence of little linen jackets to wear with them. Mohair in. its soft, improved quality and lovely colorings is one of the best possible choices for a princess dress. A charming little bolero may be made of wide pompadour ribbon, one width forming the jacket fronts and another width the ruffled sleeve tops, the whole edged with fluffy ruche. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Have a good time, but don't make It yonr business. Idlers spend their time going nowhere and coming back. He who burns his money never enlightens the world. Feeling sorry for a friend in bard lock Is the average man's limit. v Dou't oxpect any man to thank you for trying 0 'Induce him to do what he doesn't want to do. Trace your bad luck back a few blocks and the chances are that -yon will discover It Is due to your bad management Chicago News.

LEAVE CITY EXCURSIONS PATRONIZED. Dayton Was the Mecca of Majority of Those Richmondites who Sought Change of Scene Though Many Went to Other Places. Hundreds of Richmond people left Richmond yesterday, the traction lines experiencing the heaviest business of the summer thus far. The biggest rush was for Dayton, both the Dayton & Western Traction Qompany and the Pennsylvania offering special inducements in the way of low rates, the fare for the round trip either by traction or steam line being 75 cents. There also were many excursionists to the westward along the line of the Indianapolis and Eastern. During the summer season from 500 to 1,200 Richmond people leave the city each Sunday on the interurban. On Lecture Tour. (Palladium Special. Centerville, June 10. Prof. F. W. Lough, who is on a lecturing tour, under the auspices of the State Prohibition Committee, spoke to a large audience at the Christian church on Thursday evening at Centerville. The Rev. L. A. Winn presided at the meeting and introduced the speaker. The address was an eloquent appear for prohibition liquor law and the enforcement thereof, and made a deep impression on the hearers. Prof. Lough was accompanied bx Mrs. Lough, who added a pleasing variety to the meeting by singing and playing several solos, and also by singing duets with Prof. Lough. an odo bird; The Kiwi of New Zealand Has Some Remarkable Peculiarities. That queer bird, the kiwi, is a native of New Zealand. Its remarkable peculiarities are, first, the apparent absence of wings, as tho. plumage so covers the small, rudimentary, sticklike appendage of a wing that none whatever Is apparent. The situation of the nostrils at the bill's extremity is a second peculiar feature. While hunting for earthworms it probes the soft ground, 'making a continual snuffing sound. Thus the scent Is evidently of great help in finding food and the reason for the position of the nostrils quite apparent. A third peculiarity is the very dispro portionate size of the egg In comparison to the (bird, it being a little less than one-fourth the bird's own weight. One kiwi's egg found weighed four teen and one-half ounces, , while the bird weighed just under four pounds (sixty-four ounces) and was about the size of an ordinary hen. The plumage of the kiwi is a dull brown streaked with light gray, and the body resembles a miniature hay shock, rather badly hacked off at the rear part, as nature has not provided the kiwi with such decoration as a tail. The absence of wings Is compensated for by Its swiftness of foot, and the large, clumsy looking legs, which are sometimes used as weapons, are placed far back on the oddly shaped body. St Nicholas. TEvrw 'jn;'" A young girl who is always trying some new thing was present once when the doctor set a neighbor's broken arm. She was sure that she knew exactly how it was done and rather anxious to put her new knowledge into practice. Some time later a hen out In the chicken yard broke Its leg. The girl directly announced that she meant to set It "and make It as good as new." Accordingly it was put Into a plaster cast and left for the proper length of time to knit When the day came to take off the cast the girl ran out to the henhouse In great eagerness to see the result. Presently there was a scream that brought every member of the family to her side. The chicken was jumping miserably over the ground sldewise instead of directly forward. You know a hen's leg has a crook. Well, she had crooked it the wrong way, that was all. Aliens In Old London. Here is a curious report of the aliens in London in the year 1567: "There being a great Increase of foreigners In the city, her majesty ordered the lord mayor to take the name, quality and profession of all Btrangers residing within the city of London." The list was headed by the item, "Scots, 40.' Other nations were represented by "French, 428; Spaniards and Portn guese, 45; Italians, 140; Dutch, 2,030; Burgundlans, 44; Danes, 2; Uegeols, 1. Shark's Tall For Luck. Attached to the extreme end of the bowsprit of a sailing vessel there may sometimes be seen a piece of some material that looks remarkably like leath er. This seeming piece of leather really a shark's tall. It Is placed there because the sailors think that it augurs good luck, believing that pleasant voy a.es will be their lot while It remains there. Instead of the bowsprit the tall is at times nailed to the top of one of the masts. London King. Different. "Why don't you elope with her? "But, good gracious, man, if you are perfectly willing for me to marry your daughter I cannot, see any object to be attained by our eloping." "Can't you? How will !t be if I of fer you half of what I save on the wed ding? Houston Post The Vain Point. "What do you think? That boss poll tician says he has divorced himself from politics." . "Then I'll bet he secured alimony." Baltimore American. Common sense In an uncommon degree Is what the world calls wisdom. Coleridge.
