BRYAN IN KENTUCKY-
Whether We Eloct a Democrat
ic President or Not Depends
i nma Measure on What
They Do in Kentucky, He
Says.
RormAii TvV.. October 16 The
Bryan party left Cairo, ill., this morn
ing at 7 o'clock lor a roar wrwuu
Kentucky and Ohio. Among those on
the train were Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Bryan, National Committeeman Wood
son, of Kentucky William Goebel,
Democratic candidate for Governor;
Capt. Joseph Blackburn, brother of
Senator Blackburn ; G. G. Coulter,
candidate lor auditor, and others known
to Kentucky Democracy and an array
of newspaper correspondents. Bard
well, twenty miles out of Cairo, was
the first stop, where an enthusiastic
crowd greeted the train.
Mr. Bryan said in part :
"Whether the next President of the
United 8tates is a Democrat depends
on what you do in Kentucky thisyear.
Three years ago Kentucky did not help
the Democratic party to any extent. I
believe the people voted better than
the country counted. I am not sure
but we carried the State, but I am sure
we did not get-it. Kentucky is a
Democratic State and we have a right
to expect it to go Democratic in 1900.
"If the State goes Republican this
"fall it may be difficult to carry it next
year. You will encourage the Repub
licans and discourage the Democrats if
you try to divide the Democratic par
ty. You cannot whip the Republicans
by dividing the Democratic party in
two."
f Mr. Bryan vigorously denounced the
war in the Philippines and the present
large standing army, claiming it the
duty of the. Democratic party to seek
the reduction of the army to the peace
footing of 25,000 men. -
Mr. Bryan at some lenarth paid his
respects to Mr. McKinley's announce
ment of the intention to hold the
Philippine Islands and said it was the
first announcement of a President of
the United States against the spirit
and doctrine of the Declaration of In
dependence. In referenoe to the Pres
ident's declaration that Congress would
provide for the government of the
islands he said you should substitute
Parliament for Congress and revert to
the time when the colonies asked rec
ognition of King George.
He-ridiculed the claim that we had
a right to the islands because we had
purchased the islands from a discredit
ed monarchy and averred that we can
not buy the Philippines after we had
armed to fight Spain.
He then touched upon the silver
question as a matter of vital interest
to the people as a whole and urged the
reaffirmation of the Chicago platform.
ROBERTS WILL rtOT QUIT.
Utah Congressman Has No
Misgivings About Action
by Congress.
Congressman-elect Brigham H. Ro?
erts, from Salt Lake City, Utah, who
reached this city unhearlded some days
ago, and has been a guest at the East
ern Mission headquarters of the Latter
Day Saints at No. 50 Concord street,
Brooklyn,' was tsen there by a reporter
to-day. In reply to questions, Mr.
Roberts said that he had come East on
nrivate business, and his visit had no
political significance whatever. He
expected to remain about a week
longer, going from here to Philadel
phia and probably to Washington.
Referring to the political situation
and his own connection with it he said
there was no indictment against him
he left Utah that he knew of, nor did
he know of any yet. He had broken
no law. That he had a plurality of
wives was true, but he bad married
them before the manifesto of 1890.
There had been no plural marriages
since then, nor would there be any.
Infringement of the statute would be
disciplined by his church as quickly
as by the laws of the land. Mr. Rob
erts went on to say that his visit to
'Brooklyn was merely a friendly one
to the people" of his own religious
Uaith. They . were here to preach the
Gospel and did not desire to be brought
into any controversy -which might af
fect him. "
Speaking of his election, Mr. Roberts
said it had been accomplished inde
pendent of the church, as he had re
ceived the greater number of votes
from Gentil6s. He had no fear about
facing Congress nor any misgivings in
regard to the outcome of his attempts
to take his seat. New York Dispatch

CAP
Fifty Cents Each at a Church
Fair and Fifty More for a
Kiss.
The Ladies'- Aid Society of the
Church at Sweden Valley, this county,
held a novel entertainment in the
church edifice, last evening. It was
called a "night cap social;?' and it was
held for the purpose of raising lunds
with which to wipe, out an indebted
ness on the church property. Every
woman or girl who attended the enter
tainment was required to briDg a du
plicate pair of night capstone of them
bearing the name of the donor. The
strings of each pair of mated caps were
tied together. Then all the night caps
at the social were bunched in the bag.
The men, after being blindfolded and
paying half a dollar, were permitted to
grab a pair of night caps from the bag,
and the lady whose name appeared on
the caps which he drew was Ms part
ner for the evening. For an additional
half dollar the rules permitted him to
kiss the partner whom fortune gave
him, but of the 70 men who grabbed
for night caps only 2 paid the extra
amount for osculatory privileges.
Coudersport, Fa., Dispatch to The
Philadelphia Record -
New YorkV Oct. 15. While ad
rirAflflincr a socialist women's meet
in in a Second avenue hall tonight
Mrs. Florentine Cantius-Lange was
stricken with apoplexy ana aiea in
a few minutes. Mrs. Cantlus
T.oWnA wab a. nortlv woman, about
fifty-three years old, and often be
came excited when making speech
es. Her subject was women's rights.
After ten minutes' talk, she sud
denly stopped and began gesticulat
ing with her hands. Her face be
came almost black and she began
to totter. Several women on the
platform ran to her and caught her
as she was falling, but not quickly
enough to prevent her from reach
ing the floor. .
Some of the women began to
scream. Others went for a physi
cian, and in the meantime., Mrs:
Canthis-Lange's friends tried to re
vive her. When the physician ar
rived she was dying, and was dead
in "a few minutes. Mrs. Cantius-
Lange came from Berlin Germany,
about seven years ago, and was
prominent as a socialistic agitator.
Murder in Monroe.
Monroe is' excited over the dis-
covery 01 a inuraer, wnicn was
committed in or near the town last
Thursday.
A white man named Fletcher
Medlin was the victim. Medlin
came to town Thursday with cot
ton to sell, fie was seen late in
the afternoon with two negroes.
He started home in his wagon, and
that was the last seen of him until
Tuesday, when his dead body was
found in a rock quarry, which was
near the town. The quarry was
full of water and the body came to
the surface. The negroes who
were last seen witn Meann nave
been arrested. Suspicion was
aroused in regard to the possibility
of the man's body being in the
quany from the fact that the two
negroes kept going there, evidently
looking for something. Medlin
had been shot through the head.
He was drinking at the time he was
killed. Charlotte Observer.
Redress for Armenians.
Constantinople, Oct. 14. An
imperial irade has been issued
abolishing all measures that prd
vented the free movements of Ar
menians. It also orders the re
building and repairing, with gov
ernment a88i8tance,of the churches,
schools and monasteries destroyed
during the troubles, and the pay
ment of sums due officials or the
families of officials who were ex
pelled or killed during the massa
cres. '
In addition to these remedial
measures the irade pardons fifty
four prisoners, and commutes to
imprisonment for life the sentences
of twenty-four persons condemned
to death. As this action on the
part of the Ottoman is accepted by
the patriarchs as satisfactory,
those dignitaries will withdraw
their resignation.
Women Tore off Jewels.
New York, Oct. 15. Sixty-eight
thousand dollars was raised in
Carnegie Hall today by Rev. A. B.
Simpson and his associates in the
Christian Missionary Alliance amid
tumult of religious enthusiam.
Women tore off their jewels and
men their coats and vests, throwing
them to the collectors and shout
ing, "Glory to God 1" and "Halle
Jujh 1" as they contributed to the
tuud by which the alliance will
keep its missionaries abroad for the
year . , .
While two meetings were to have
taken place and did take place in
t e hall one in the afternoon and
one in the morning, they were so
close together that there was
scarcely any intermission, and it
was as though there had been one
continuous session of more than
seven hours.

VICTIM OF HIS OWN JOKE,
Somo Buzzard Eggs Which
Reached a Wrong Dostl
v ' " 'nation '
"This is a true story of Sheriff
Brookshire, of Williamsom county,
Texas, and what came of his efforts to
play a practical joke on his wife," said
Mr. M. R. Goodbread, of Taylor, Texas,
at the Biggs. ;
i "Sheriff Brookshire is full of good
nature, and the love of fun is his pre
dominant characteristic. To get the
laugh on a friend is to him the next
best thing to rounding up a band of
horse thieves. He is owner of a good
sized ranch, and while working out in
a I pasture near hia home some time
since, came across a buzzard's nest in
which reposed four as handsome snow
white' eggs as the eye of man ever
looked upon.
I "The discovery of these eggs imme
diately set him to thinking of a little
game that he would play upon his
faithful spouse. Wrapping them up
with care he bora them to his house,
intending to tell Mrs. Brookshire that
he had been presented with some un
commonly fine eggs from a fancy
breed of chickens, and that it was the
piroper thing to put them under one of
her setting hens immediately. He
knew how fond she was of having
choice specimens of the feathered tribe,
and shook with laughter as he pictured
her disgust when these young buzzards
should be batched out.
'Revolving these merry thoughts he
went into the kitchen to' make the
presentation. It happened that his
wife was not there, and he placed them
on a table, intending to call her atten
tion to them later. Just at this time
he was called out of his domicile on
very important business, and the mat
ter was of consequence enough to drive
all thoughts of the joae out of his head.
lie stayed away a couple of hours
and when he reached home supper was
ready. Being rather hungry from his
tramp in the pasture the sheriff sat
down to the table and ate with good
relish the viands before him.
'Suddenly the recollection of his
find flashed across his mind. 'My
Dear said he, 'when I left the house
awhile ago I put some eggs 02 the
table yonder. Did you get them ?'
i" 'I certainly did, and you have iust
eaten them for your supper.' quoth
Mrs. Brookshire. 'Why, what on earth
ails you?' she asked as the sheriff
clapped both hands about the middle
of his corporosity and rushed for the
open air. She thought, maybe, that
he had been suddenly seized with a fit
of some kind, and followed to render
assistance. It took him several hours
to recover, but he has utterly re
nounced practical joking" Washing
