MADE THREE SPEECHES AT MINNE APOLIS To Iitrce and. Enthualattia Qatherlngt of the Peep e The Flnanoial Iune, Free ' Silver and Other Important Mat ten DiseoasM. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Minneapolis, Minn.. October 12. Perfect Indian summer weather, neither too cool nor too warm, aided the Min neapolis supporters of Wm. J. Bryan to night to undo the efforts of their breth ren of St. Paul in giving a rousing wel come to the Democratic bearer. Like their political friends of their sister city they had arranged for no less than four speeches by Mr. Bryan, and fortune was with them again In this, for the Chicago nominee felt strong of voice and body, after his two days of rest, and was able to speak with bis old time vigor. Min nesota women do not have tbe right of suffrage, except in school elections, but a special meeting for tbe benefit of as many ot them as could crowd into tne Lvceum Theatre was addressed by Mr. Bryan. That was the uniaoe feature of the Min neapolis demonstration. The principal address by tbe nominee, however, was delivered at the Exposition building and tbe others in tbe open air at Bridge Square, on the Mississippi river front, adjacent to the Exposition Hall and again at Yale place. Tbe hot fight being waeed for tree coinage in this State served to intensify the interest in Bryan's coming, and ardent silver men of Min neapolis did their utmost to make them selves felt and beard from tbe time be entered the City until he went to bed on the special car in which he will travel to Ddluth to-morrow to give aid to Con gressman Charles A. Towne, a sliver man and Protection Republican, who is making a right for re-election Mrs. Bryan reached the West Hotel in Indianapolis, accompanied by Con gressmen Towne, John W. Tomlinson. of Alabama, and others prominent in the silver cause, at 1 o'clock. A big crowd bad gathered in front of the West Hotel, ard Mr. Bryan was cheered to the echo. He and Mrs. Bryan went almost immediately to the home of State Senator S. B. Howard, editor of the Penny Press, and had dinner there with a small company. Crowds began to gather about the Ex position buildlnar a couple of hours be fore the hour set tor Bryan's appearance there at 7.S0 o'clock. The people came in nocks and droves, and, fulled every seat in the big Auditorium. Mo over crowding was allowed, and soon after tbe hall filled and the doors were closed, not quickly enough, however, to keep out about a thousand of those who were willing to stand if they could do so and hear. Two hundred old soldiers, com posing the Veterans' Bryan Club of Minneapolis. foim;d the escort of the candidate from the West Hotel to the Auditorium. When they arrived at the entrance to the building with their charge an excit ing scene was taking place there. Tnose who had been nnable to obtain admit tance bad .become a struggling excited mob. Women were shrieking and men were shouting; they could move neither out nor in. It was only by the combined efforts of the police and those with them, that Mr. Bryan was forced through tbe crowded masses of humanity and enabled to enter the building. When the excitement had ceased Mayor Winslow called the meeting to order and introduced E. C. Merchand who presented to tbe candidate aa inkstand, - sixteen parts silver and one gold, on oenait ot J laboring innCiinnlUYnrTOTi Bryan rose to reply, anotber demonstration occurred land throughout his speech there was frequent outbreaking! of ap plause. It was supposed tbat be would have something to say about Arch bishop Ireland's letter against tbe Chicago ticket and platform, but be made no reference to it. He did, how ever, talk about anotber distinguished Minnesotan, Hon. W. D. Washburn, on the basis of a letter received - from the ex-Senator, and groans and cheers were frequent during his reply to the wealthy miller. The emotional, excited throng outside the Exposition building had be come tired of pushing, shoving and elbowing, and bad drifted off in argu ments to the adjacent bridge square to join, the great crowd already gathered there: It was there where Mr. Bryan delivered bis second address from a balcony of the Exposition building. His audience was estimated at 15.000. The meeting at the Lyceum came next. Mrs. Bryan was there. The mMttlnor was presided over by Mrs. C. M. Schae fer, whose husband's father was the law partner for twenty-one years of Mr. Bryan's father at Salem, III. When she presented the candidate, ladies shrieked and waved an emotional welcome. The last address was at Yale Place, where another big crowd had gathered. The speech of the evening was de livered at the Auditorium. There was little now in it except the answer to Sen tor Washburn. He said : "In going over tbe coutry I often re ceive letters asking me to answer certain questions. I do not always pay atten tion to them because I desire to make my own speeches instead of having It outlined for me by tome one who may not have as much interest in the cause as I have. (Applanse.) But I received a letter from so distinguished a citizsn that I think I am justified in making some reference to it. I have received a letter, dated October 12, and signed by W. D. Washburn, who is. 1 understand, an ex-Senatojr from this State. (Hisses and ' groans ) Now, my friends, please refrain from any manifestation of ill will. This is an educational campaign, and those who advocate free coinage are prepared to meet any arguments pre sented by their adversaries. (Applause.) In the letter he asks me certain ques tions about my vote and action in tbe House of Representatives on the tariff bill, for which I refer him to the Con eressional Record. But when be asks me to enter into a discussion of tbe tariff question, I tell bim this is a quesion before the American people which it far more important to the people. (Ap plause.) This Is a question which can be settled now; the tariff question can be settled any time. (Applause.) If he wants me to discuss tariff I tell him to join with me in a prohibitoiy duty on foreign financial policies, and then I will discuss tbe rest of tbe schedule. (Cheers) Or if he is not willing to discriminate against tbat foreign product by a prohib itory duty, I will ask him to wait until he has settled the money question by International agreement and then sub mit the tariff question to international agreement. (Applause.) I am not going to discuss the tariff question, because I am going to discuss tbe paramount issue of this campaign, made so by three po litical parties, and considered so by Re publicans who are afraid to discuss it and try to discuss the tariff question in stead. (Applause.) Bat there is a part of this letter which I think yon ought to hear, and I am not going to deny yon any good thing. (Laughter.) He tayr. 'The andfence will be composed, I pre sume, very largely of laboring men aud wage-earners of a high order. This class of people, like others dominated by'huraan selfishness so tar as their own interests are concerned, probably prefer to receive their wages in dollars worth 100 cents, rather than those worth only 68 cents.' (Groans.) I shall take for my text the words "Like others domi nated by human selfishness so far as their own interests, are concerned." ' "Laboring men, I want to ask yon why it is tbat every gold bug savs tbat yon are selfish, and that you are influenced bv selfish considerations, while every gold bug pretends to be a philanthropist who simpiy leaves money Because n win help other people ? (Laughter and ap plause.) I want to know why it is that these gold bngs are so sorry that every one else will be influenced by personal in terests and so positive that personal in terest cannot affect it, (Applause.) Why is it? I will tell you why, it a man be lieves a thing is good for himself. and also good for others, be will admit that it is good for himself. If he thinks a thing good for himself, but bad for others he will never admit that it is good . for himself (cheers). tbat is tbe rule tbat I lay down, and you can examine it and apply it to every day life. You will find that men never deny that a thing is good for themselves if they also believe it is good for others. It is only when they believe that they Srosprr by others adversity that vou ear them standing up an ddenylng that they have any pecuniary benefit. Ap plause. ,o Mr. Bryan then spoke of tbe reasons which laboring men, farmers and busi ness men gave lor wanting bimetallism, comparing their reasons with those of the advocates of the gold standard, and said: ' - . i ; - . -, "But there is another thing I want you to notice about Mr, Washburn's let ter. I believe that Mr. Washburn is a large employe of labor. Now if be is dominated by selfishness, why is . he worrying so much absut having to pay his employes in 53 cent dollars. (Ap plause) If his employes are so much afraid that they are going to suffer per son at loss because of free coinage, wby don't Mr. Washburn rrj lice if domi nated by human selfishness. - (Laugh ter.) Oh, no; he desires to pose before his employes as one who is willing to deny himself the advantage of paying in cheap dollars in order that his employes may not lose by free coinage. What reason have you to believe tbat he is less dominated by human selfishness than his employes are? Mr. Washburn complains oi the Wilson bill. I arrived late this afternoon and I received through the mail or rather in an envalope an extract from a speech which Mr. Washburn delivered in tbe Senate of tbe United States on the 11th ot July, 1892. I have not had time to comoare this speech with the record, and I tell you so because I do not use authorities generally withont compairing them and being snre that they are accurate. Bat on this occasion I will tell you how I got this extract, and I will read it; and if Mr. Washburn is in tbe room, I will in vite him to say whether this is his speech or not, and if it is not. I will not ask you to sccept it. Is Mr. Washburn in the room? (A voice: "He's dead.") Now, I am in earnest in this matter and I do not want to do any man an injustice. I have asked if he is here, so tbat he can verily now, and have heard no re spocse. If he is not here, it cannot be verified until I am done with it. but I want to say to you that if what I quote turns out not to be Mr. Washburn's speech, then I want to ask you to with draw it entirely and not consider it in connection with what I have been say ing. Great cheering In this extract, I hod that Mr. Wash burn gives tbe price of wheat, beginning with 1835 and running down to 1890, and that he used these words: "The hopes of the producer have been turned to ashes. Tbe grain dealer, tbe miller and the business man have been disap pointed. The balance of trade in favor of this country, tbat every one looked forward to with to mush assurance, has been a blow to the generaJjestrSMte Gold is still leaving thficoantry, and there is but little lifjor spirit in general business, while i-hink there is a general disappoint r&tint that, with the tariff of 1890, wjs-rlo not tee better times.' "&ow, if these words are correct, then 7fi9rrtr Wjthhnrn t1?a vnn that t Vt mrm was general disappointment that tbe tariff- of .1890 was not followed by better times (applause and cheers), and again. he said ; 'Mr.. President, the people of the country were startled, as our country certainly was, when the statement made in an article in one of the magazines a few weeks since that one half of the property and wealth of tbe country were owned by 86,000 people.' "And he says : 'The millionaires, ten millionaires, tbe forty millionaires, or the hundred millionaires, almost, with out exception, have neither created or earned their wealth. The roval road to wealth has been through illegitimate speculation, stock and ' grain gambling, market working, railroad working, trusts and the whole family of iniquities that have been developed nnder the nefari ous methodi of the exchange of this country.' ' "Now, my friends, is this Senator ex pressing his alarm that half the prop erty of the country was owned by 83.000 persons, and that the millionaires, al most without exception, have neither created nor earned their wealth, and that the royal road to wealth has been through illegitimate speculation, stock and grain gambling, market working, railroad working and the whole family of inequities that have been developed nnder the nefarious methods of the ex changes of this country ? Ought the Senator to be surprised if we are alarm ed at the same things that scared him four years ago?" The remainder of Mr. Bryan's speech was devoted to a reiteration of his former arguments on the money ques tion, z. - ' - POPULIST CONVENTION.

COERCING EMPLOYES. AN ARDENT ADVOCATE OF THE GOLD STANDARD. Ongald Crawford, n Iieadian Meienant of Bt. Itont, Ditobared Twelve oi His Employee Beoante They Were -. In Favor of Free BU ver Coinage., By Telegraph to the Moraine Star. St. Louis October 12. Mr. Dugald Crawford, sole owner of -one of tbe largest department stores in St. Louis, it an ardent advocate of the gold stand ard. Recently he caused a ' canvass of his employes to be made and found many of them free sliver men. Satur day he called twelve heads of depart ments before him and told them they were no longer in bis employ, explain ing that he did not want any anarchists to breathe the air of his establishment. "Spread the news throughout tbe city," said Mr. Crawford, let it be known as tar ana near as you cnoose, tbat you are discharged because you are in favor free oicae of silver." ' The publication of the abeve story yesterday with a mass ot confirmatory' interviews, caused much commotion The labor unions took the matter up at their weekly meetings, and Mr. Craw ford was excoriated. The indignation crystalized in the appointment of a com mittee from various, unions, who wiil call an indignation meeting for some evening this week, to give expression to the workings mens views on the mat ter. Mr. Crawford is a very wealthy man, an ex president of the Caledonian Society, and a leader in social and busi ness life. - Chairman Cook, of the Democratic State Committee, last night, stated that Mr. Crawford's action was with the of fences punished' by State laws for "in timidating, coercing or unduly influ encing tbe choice of a voter." A fund of $1,500 has been subscribed by two leading Democrats to prosecute the case, and information will probably by bled to-day. Nothing in the cam paign has so far stirred up such a com motion in tnis city. The twelve employes of Crawford's dry goods establishment, who were dis charged last Saturday becanss they cbampioned tbe free coinage of "silver, had a meeting to-dav. They decided to stand together and fight the case. Later the discharged employes went to the State Democratic headqarters, where they related the circumstances of their dismissal from the firm's employ. They were referred to Attorney Johnson, for further action In the courts. Mr. John son declines to state what measures he will take until he had given the case a thorough study. j 1 Norfolk, Va., ' October 18. The barque Henry A.

Nevertheless be stood up bravely and took punish ment pluckily, as . Palmer rained blows upon him with hit right and left. The plucky Yankee boy was heartily applauded. In the third round Murphy landed once or twice but did no apparent damage to bis opponent. Murphy started in the fourth round with mad vantage, but be was terribly slow. Round after round Palmer rushed Murphy about tbe nog, but the American did not show tbat he had been punished much until the end of the twelfth round. Then he went to I 'his corner very tired. Before time was called, however, he pulled himself to gether and made a splendid fight in the thirteenth round. Despite his pluck he was too terribly battered to recover per manently, and Palmer bad the battle in hand to the finish. At the end of the twentieth round . Palmer was de clared the winner on points. Murphy was not knocked out. Palmer s seconds were Baxter and Fitzpatrick, while Craig and Solly Smith acted in a similar capacity for Murphy. WARM Wl RELETS.

The feasibility of power transmission by means of electricity over distances of limited extent had been clearly demon strated in the long years of experience with the direct current, but transmission by means of the direct current speedily reaohed a limit beyond which, for econom ical reasons, it became inadvisable to ga Yet it was transmitted over very long dis tances. How best to effect this became the urgent question of the hour. . Tbe direct onrrent was perforce discard ed, and the alternating current called into requisition.. Attainment of an .economic al solution was by no means easy. Diffi culty - after difficulty arose, requiring countless experiments to elucidate, and alteration after alteration In .machinery was made, involving the expenditure of vast sums.. By successive and painful stages a solution was finally reached; and today the long distance transmission of' power by electricity is an established economic fact of a potentiality which seems limited in its comprehensiveness only by the exhaustion of the available natural forces of the earth. Indeed everything points to a corner in water powers, speculative enterprise keep ing steady step with honest industrial ini tiative and generally a little in advance. Waterfall and cataract have suddenly as sumed a greater interest to their owners than that imparted by their merely scenic features. Hitherto unutilized water pow ers have become in sanguine imagination possible gold mines in f utnro and the elim ination of the domestio ooal heap and rele gation of tbe steam engine to the oblivion which awaits the discarded have become articles of faith with water power proprie tors. . By far-the greatest number of the long distance transmission installations of tbe world are situated in tbe United States. The American seems endowed with tbe courage of temerity and is willing f to adopt a new thing with promise only where other nationalities demand assur ance or proof. A possibility has a special attraction for the American mind, and tbe risk of its realization is willingly rnn. It is this spirit that has covered the United States with electric lighting stations.spreabT a network of electrio car lines over every city of any importance in its boundaries and Initiated the supersession of the steam looomotive itself from its main line rail ways. John McGhie In Cassier's Maga slne. . , "! SPLIT HAIRS. What to Do to Res tor the Ends That An Thus Damaged. Volumes have been written about the care of the roots of the hair and the scalp, while little has been said about the other ends. A Psyche knot, a Grecian coll, a Roman twist or any other coiffure ceases to be a tiling of beauty If bristling with dry or split hair ends. With some women the ends of the hair split into two parts, bnt with others it di vides Into so many that the end of each hair looks .like a miniature paintbrush. In some cases the hairs not only split at the ends, bnt several inches farther np fine slivers seem to be ohipped from the main stem. When hairs are injured in this way, they oeaae to grow longer. To restore split hairs to a more healthy state it is necessary to out off every hall above the place where it is split or chip ped. To out each hair seems a heroulean task, but it can be simplfied in this man ner: Divide the hair into two, three or four parts, according to its thickness; then braid each part as closely to the head and as tightly as possible. Tie each braid an inch or so from the end with thread or worsted or wind a small rubber band aronnd it to keep tbe braid from loosen lntr . - Hold the end of the braid firmly with one hand and with the other rub the braid tbe'wrong way that is, toward the head and most of the hairs which do not ex tend tbe whole length of the braid will spring ont like the quills of a porcupine. With scissors clip these outstanding bairs, being careful not to cut the smooth strands of the braid.' Then clip the split ends below where the braid is fastened. Unless tbe hair is very much split and broken you can do the clipping yourself, but if it is uneven and split close to the scalp it will be better to have some one else clip it. This clipping should be done once in tWo weeks or oftener until all the split ends have been cut. Then the hair will feel as smooth and soft and fine as that which grows close to the scalp. New York Press. " Napoleon's Change off Manner. There was something seriously amiss with the central figure. He was often snllen and morose, often violent and even hysterical. To calm his nervous agitation the court physician ordered warm baths, which he spent hours in taking. Then again he was irregular in his habits, being often somnolent during the daytime, but as frequently breaking his rest at mid night to set tbe pens of his secretaries scampering to keep pace with the flow of his speech. With old friends he was coarse and severe. Even the brutal Vandamme confessed tbat he trembled before that "devil of a man," while Lannes was the only human being who still dared to nse the familiar "thou" in addressing his old comrade. To the face of his generals the emperor was merely cold. Behind their backs he sneered, saying, for instance, of Davout that he might give him never so much renown, he would not be able to carry it; of Ney that he was disposed to ingratitude and turbulence; of Bessieres, Oudinot and Victor that they were mere mediocrities. "Life of Napoleon," by roressor bloane, In Century. Gladness Comes AX Tith. a better understanding1 of the v v transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. .That Is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all. who value good health, its benencial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the onrans on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, tnat you nave tne genuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrop Co. only and Bold by ail repusauie aruggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with anv actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and mwt mRt Ereneral satisfaction.
