BRYAN WILL HOT BE CAIlDIDATEjiE SAYS Commoner Doesn't Want the Presidential Nomination Views on Politics.

(National News Association) CHICAGO, Nov. 16 Political conditions throughout the entire country are pretty badly mixed, according to the observations of William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, thrice Democratic nominee for President and as many times defeated. Asked to give his views on the condition of political affairs, Mr. Bryan said "I think they are very much mixed, and the last election. While local causes entered into the result in the different states, still the larger movement cannot be described as landslides. An inspection of the returns of the election of last Tuesday Indicate there is no landslide in favor of either party and 1 should say that the lesson to be drawn from the election for the next campaign showes that it will be a fight and not a onesided contest. "As to the insurgent movement in the Republican party I can say I am in sympathy with them in their efforts to control their pary, but, of course, I do not know what strength they will have in the next national convention. It seems to me that the next session of congress is likely to affect the next campaign very materially, and also likely to affect the relative strength of the two elements in the Republican party, and as it is not necesBary to guess what the next sesion will result in I prefer not to make any guess. I might add, also, that the next session also is likely to affect the -availability of Democratic candidates." Mr. Bryan declared he himself was Hot a candidate for the Presidency, nor will he be the Democratic nominee.

LECTURE ON GREATER MEANING OF OCCULTISM

Wide Interest in the Occult, but Vague Ideas Prevalent as to Its Real Significance Brilliant Pictures by Girardin on Exhibition.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE As stated here a few weeks ago many people deny an interest in what is sometimes denominated the "occult" although much that is superficially understood by that name is pseudo but, on the side, are consulting palmists, fortune-tellers and others of the supposed medea, through which filter knowledge from the reverse of the veil. Why should people be ashamed, however, of a desire to penetrate the mysteries or the mystery, rather, of life? Why is it- considered doubtful to pursue investigations into the source of being. Why is it thought to be an indication of spiritual decadence to inquire into the state of the soul after death? Why is it any more respectable to believe in a conventional creed than to question the universe. Why is it thought to be a sign of obliquity to declare for the individual Against God or what is termed, or meant by, "God." Why, in short, is a longing and a determination to wrest the Truth from the innermost heart of things and set it on a pinnacle where it may guide the fortunes ot men, regarded as a sort of insanity and its exploiters fit subjects for incarceration or excommunij cation. Nobody knows. Society is ruled by error, misconception of the meaning of existence which, indeed is apprehended by no one although some individual entities, as Christ, who was the epitome of love, nave interpreted and pointed a way which no one has followed by blind egotism, by the lure of the senses, by false teachers, by surface manifestations, by foolish rules, by hide-bound regulations, by misdirected energies and vain and wasted yearnings by all that is useless and negative and ineffective. And to end in what? Oblivion? So says the fatalist. And if he is not right who is there to deny him? No matter what the system of philosophy, what the religion, what the creed- for none are revealed, all manbuilt, all the fruit of the thing called the ' brain" of the human animal, no matter what the state of development nobody knows. Why quote the Bible? What is the Bible? A book made up of history, poems, legend, tradition, short stories, symbolic drama, and much beautiful literature unclassifiable. Creeds, religions, philosophies mere anchors for the soul in the sea of the unknown. There are, however, systems which nullify doubt. And at no time in the history of humanity has the massed mind been more open to impression and conviction than now. This is manifested by the interest, as stated before, in what is termed the "occult," although few have but a vague notion as to the meaning of the word. It is associated by the average with "spirit rappings," with mediums, with fortune telling, with things uneou'. with the wild-eyed and with infinite vagaries. New religions, new philosophies, new creeds have been evolved. But none is satisfying. The world is searching after the Truth. Therefore the address to be made next Sunday afternoon on "The Greater Meaning of Occultism," by an exponent ot that phase of development known as the Yogi philosophy, which has its origin in Buddhism, should interest the local public. The foregoing observations, however, have nothing to do with the latter. The Yogi, as understood superficially, has do with the exposition of Truth in its universality. Its basis is knowledge, not belief. It begins where the material scientist ends. It explains illusion and teaches how to live. Theosophy is one of its phases. But it is greater A PRAYER MEETING LARGELY ATTENDED Social Service was the subject for consideration at the local meeting in the international observance of a week of prayer, held at the Y. M. C. A. this noon. A special invitation was extended to the directors and trustees of the association to be present, and a big per cent of the members of the two executive bodies attended, making the service the largest and most successful of the week. Herbert A. Pettijohn led the service, during which several valuable points in connection with social service were brought out. Australasia was the foreign land discussed today. The same topics will be used at the meeting this evening. AMERICAN APPLE CONGRESS MEETS (National News Association) DENVER. Colo., Nov. 16. The annual meeting and exhibition of the American Apple congress got under way here today with an attendance of delegates and visitors from nearly every section of the country. The gathering will continue through the remainder of the week. LODGE MEETING The first degree will be administered tomorrow night to a class of candidates for membership in the Whitewater lodge of Odd Fellows. The lodge officials are working up a large class to be initiated within a few weeks.

than any of its parts. In its essence it is all embracing as the universe.

Mr. Frank Girardin, one of the best known of the Richmond artists, who has been in California for two years and a half, has returned to this city for residence and has on display in the windows of the Starr Piano company on Main street, four striking canvasses, three of which are Western scenes. To those who have never visited the Southwest, and who have not seen its brilliant color effects, these pictures may seem garish. But as Mr. Girardin says "I did not come near the reality. No artist has or can." Mr. Girardin has made wonderful advance in his art during his absence. Always a vigorous colorist, with an appreciation of its contrasts rather than its finer nuances, he readily adapted his brush to the grandiose and sharply accentuated landscape of California and the Southwest. Especially is this seen in his two pictures painted in Arizona, "Grand Canyon," and "Ilopie Point." In the latter Mr. Girardin has achieved a triumph in its way. The subject a detail of the Grand Canyon is painted with an appreciation of its grandeur and of its extraordinary color and yet preserves the latter's harmonies and balance of values. In perspective it is fascinating, the blue hills in the distance m&rking the horizon sharply these hills, or r.iountains, by the way, illustrating the translucent quality of the atmosphere which outlines objects at tremendous distances, the former having been over seventy miles from the spot from which Mr. Girardin painted them although between them and the foreground is a mist effect caused by a fall of rain. The beauty of the picture lies, however, in its pictorial quality and its preservation of values, before referred to, and in its exquisite sky. In contrast is the large canvas, "The Valley of the Whitewater," composed by Mr. Girardin from a sketch, and which is a noticeable composition, being made up, practically, of two pictures that is there are two perfected pictures within the one but painted with a clear, cool and yet vigorous use of the medium, the clearness of the Western atmosphere having rrept into the Indiana landscape and resulted in an illusion of unreality. The pictorial quality is accentuated, in fact, by this peculiarity of handling but it gives an impression of the local landscape raised to a point of atmospheric clarity imaginative rather than real. On the other hand is the large picture of the Grand Canyon in Arizona as much of it as could be thrown into one composition whose bizarre color and rugged contours do not lend themselves to pictorial effect, but whose translation to canvas is essayed by every artist who goes to that country. A strange and striking picture is this of that picturesque conformation of nature and one which is not amenable to comment on the basis of the accepted artistic canons, but which is a truthful transcript of a landscape in contortions if it might so be put. Above all else, however, is the wonderful and dazzling scale of color, which, as Mr. Girardin succinctly says, cannot be interpreted by brush and pigment. It is the wonder of all laymen and the despair of artists. Perhaps the most appealing of the group of Mr. Girardin's pictures is the small canvas, "Sespee Valley," in California, whose subdued harmonies are in marked contrast to those of its neighboring environ. It is a satisfying composition, dominated by a tree in the middle distance, and its harmony o light and shadow give it a magnetic quality not possessed by the others of the group. Mr. Girardin, while in the West, painted four canvasses for the Santa Fe railroad, which, with those by other artists, will be exhibited in this country and in Europe. ATTEMPT TO KISS WAS VERY COSTLY Dan Hampton was fined $5 and costs in police court Thursday morning on the charge of assault and battery upon Lora Green, a neighbor. He said he was guilty of touching the woman in a rude and insolent manner. It is said, by the police, that Hampton attempted to kiss the woman and that he threw snow in her face. MRS. WOODNUTT DEAD The relatives cf Mrs. Hannah Woodnutt, of Philadelphia, wife of the late Thomas Woodnutt, have been advised of her death in the former city. Mr. and Mrs. Woodnutt were former prominent residents of Richmond, having buiit and lived in the old mansion now owned by John Howard, on North Tenth street. Mrs. Woodnutt was the sister of Mrs. Elisha Hirst who was in Philadelphia at the time of the death of her sister. MILLIONAIRE HEIRESS TO BE MARRIED (National News Association) PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 16. Miss Marie Louise Elkins, whose share of the large fortune left by her father, the late William Elkins, amounted to $2,000,000, was married today to Christian de Guigne, jr., of San Francisco. The wedding took place at the Bel gravis and was attended by many promUuaot suesta.

CHIEF DISCUSSES THEFTS III SHOPS

Women Detectives Would Be Advantageously Used, in His Belief. It is the belief of Police Chief Gormon, that while women detectives are not generally needed in Richmond, that they could do good work during the coming holidays. When asked about this matter today the superintendent declared that the women detectives do most good in department stores during the Christmas holiday season, but that department store managers are averse to having persons arrested in their stores for shoplifting and Avould rather have some thing "lifted" than to encounter possible loss of patronage. Each year the shoplifting evil increases but affidavits against persons who are seen stealing articles will not be sworn out by persons connected with the store in which the theft is committed, and consequently the police work at a disadvantage. Women, it is said, do more shoplifting than men and it is the women of the richer class who are the greatest offenders, as a rule. It is alleged that kleptomaniacs steal articles of little value and that in past years women of prominent families have been guilty of this practice. Supt. Gormon says that he has known merchants who, rather than say anything to a customer who has "lifted" articles, will keep a record of the things, stolen and send the bill to the husband, who with a very little explanation, is willing to remit the amount. In other cases Supt. Gormon says, women detectives, when the occasion warranted, could be of great assistance to the police department.

Henderson who, as a member of the United States senate from Missiouri was the contemporary and adviser of President Lincoln, received the congratulations of a host of friends today on the occasion of his eighty fifth birthday anniversary. Mr. Henderson was born in Virginia, but early in his career went to Missouri and for many years was prominent in the public life of that State. He came to the senate in 1862 and made a place for himself in history by framing the Thirteenth Amendment to the constitution, which abolished slavery in the United States for all time. For many years he has resided in Washington, spending his retiring years in "Henderson's Castle," at the head of Sixteenth street. At eighty-five Mr. Henderson is as strong mentally and physically as the average man of of sixty-five. STRIKE BREAKERS GIVEN A BEATING (National News Association) MEMPHIS, Nov. 16.

SHIVELEY AGAINST MUNICIPAL PLANT In an Interview Local Attorney Says He Believes It a Handicap.

Attorney Ray K. Shiveley, one .of the counsel for the Richmond City Water Works Company, in a statement today declared that he doubted the stability of the municipal light plant as a business proposition. He declared that if expert auditors were to examine the books, he believed it would be found that the municipal ownership of the plant was not for the best interests of the taxpayers of the city. The attorney contends that, while it is not admitted it is a generally recognized fact among the business men that the city is practically bankrupt, due, he believes, to the decision of the city administration of several years ago to establish a light and power plant, and in so doing issuing bonds to cover the indebtedness. Because of this great debt hanging over the city, he says it has been handicapped greatly in carrying out any plans for public improvements, which are sadly needed. A Disputed Question. Though he admitted the value of the plant to the users of ele.ctricity for light and power, he says it is a disputed question whether this advantage is sufficient to overshadow other advantages, which, he believes, have been lost because of the heavy indebtedness incurred in construction of the plant and its operation since. While the citizens have been led to believe that the plant was making money, he says that he believes this could be proved to the contrary were the books investigated and the plant inspected by experts who would t:ike everything in consideration, including depreciation, overhead cost, etc. It is certain, he says, that the municipal plant has caused other improvements of a needed character to be neglected, and it has so handicapped the administrations which have served subsequetn to the installation of the plant that they have embarrassed in managing city affairs. Though he did not declare he would like to see the books of the light plant inspected he gave this impression. One of the features which must be embodied in the contract which the city ultimately will give the successful bidder for the water franchise is the power of the city to municipalize the corporation in event the city is ever in a financial position to do so. INDEPENDENTS LOST In the Tobacco Decision Made Today. (National News Association) NEW YORK, Nov. 16.

Zhi miles northwest of Richmond, after an illness of several months. Mrs. Toschlag. although born in Germany, moved to this country when young, and had lived in the neighborhood of Richmond ever since, where she has become well known to the whole community. She has been recognized as possessing unusual executive ability, and was thought to have conducted her farming projects as successfully as any man in the country. She leaves a large estate which was amassed mainly through her own efforts. Mrs. Toschlag was born in 1S25. and came to the United States when 21 years of age.

INTEREST IS SHOWN The revival meetings now in progress in the First Christian church are moving with an increased interest, there being a well-filled house to greet the speaker last night, and two additions in response to the invitation. Evangelist Brown spoke last night on '"The Curse of Cain," in which sermon j he traced Cain's non-acceptance of his j offering to a disobedience of God's command, and the acceptance of Abel's offering to the fact of his obedience to ihe same command. The Ladies' Quartet sang "Abide with Me." Tonight Mr. Brown will speak on the subject. "Our Need of Christ." Mr. Ralph Little will sing, "Oh, Dry Those Tears." Making It Plain.
