m
STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE IN-
DORSES HIM.
No polite person ever looks a com
plimentary luncheon In the pure food
label
MAKES ADDRESS TO PEOPLE
It is a lucky Iceman who owns a
few ponds somewhere near the north
pole this winter.
Europe will regard It as a shabby
trick If Japan and the United States
Insist on being good friends.
Sets Forth His Ideas on Banking In-
surance; Says Big Banks Oppose
It.
It is useless for hold-up men, when
they have to give up their revolvers,
to ask that the women be deprived of
their hat-pins.
Boston will sink Into the sea this
year, says a calamity prophet. This
will be fine for the sacred codfish on
top of Faneuil hall.
It is evident that the young Mis-
sourian who fell heir to a fortune the
day after he enlisted is going to be
one of the most popular recruits the
army has ever possessed.
The fishermen towed to sea at
Ocean City. N. J., by a whale are prob-
ably not at all in sympathy now with
the movement to preserve the biggest
of all animals from extinction.
A German military man sayB the
American army lacks discipline. Per-
haps he made his observations in the
vicinity of Fort Sheridan before the
High wood saloons were transformed
Into ice cream parlors.
The New York doctor who left a
rubber tube and a safety pin in a Mon-
tana man’s chest can doubtless re-
cover his goods, besides getting a
more or less florid indorsement, by ad-
dressing him an urgent letter.
Bfc.
Science should experiment a few
thousand years more with alcohol and
be certain that it is a food before let-
ting the world In on the secret. If
the past is anything to judge by, man
will use plenty of it without any in-
formation from science as to its
merits.
The Boston Herald points out that
It is difficult to kiss a girl who wears
one of the present fashionable hats.
The thing for the true gent to do in
such a case is to give the lady proper
warning so that she may remove her
headgear in as dignified a manner as
rrfii
haste permits.

Harden, the German edtor, was in-
nocent once and guilty the next time
of practically the same offense.
Whether he was more innocent than
he was guilty, or more guilty than
he was innocent is a question which
Germany will long debate in private
over its beer stein.

Cats have been made to exchange
livers under the skillful manipulation

Btitute. After this grand work is

two old men meet one will say to the

If l trade livers with yon?”
Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 19. — W. J.
Bryan’s visit to Columbus was sig-
nalized by the Democratic State Cen-
tral Committee unanimously indorsing
his candidacy for President. Mr.
Bryan arrived at the Southern Hotel
while the committee was still in ses-
sesslon, and upon being introduced to
the members, paused long enough to
say that ho "found a keen feeling
throughout the country that our ef-
forts will not be in vain."
While Indorsing Mr. Bryan, the
State Committee made provision in
the call for the State Convention by
which the voters of any county, in
which there is a registration city may
express their preference for a candi-
date for President by having the
names of candidates printed on dele-
gate tickets. This action was taken
at the request of Hamilton County
Democrats, who favor the nomination
of Judson Harmon of Cincinnati, for-
mer Attorney General of the United
States under President Clevelad, for
the Presidency.
In an address on the need of a bank
inspection and regulation law, before
an audiece that filled the hall of the
House of Representatives yesterday
afternoon, William Jennings Bryan
charged that the big banks of the
country are opposing the enactment of
adequate State and National laws for
bank Inspection, regulation and de-
posit guarantees.
Bryan referred to his unsuccessful
attempts to get through theh National
Congress and his own State Legisla-
ture bills for the regulation of banks.
He disclaimed credit for originating
the plan of guaranteeing bank de-
posits. He said that the big banks
of the country caused their defeat on
the plea that such a law would place
small banks and all hanks on an equal
footing as to the safety of deposit-
ors. He decried the distrust of banks
as unjust and unfounded, and said the
banks of this country are, in the main,
safe, but they need regulation.
He said if deposits were guaranteed
the people would replace their money,
too often hoarded, in the banks, where-
upon business confidence would be re-
stored. He compared the conditions
pf 1893 and the recent financial trou-
bles. The first, he said, had been
preceded by a drop in values and the
increase in the purchase power of the
dollar.
Cuban Newspaper Says tha Americana
Blew Up tha Main#.
Havana, Feb. 18.—The Diario Wr
panole, the organ of the ultra-Spanish
element, in a leading editorial, refer
ring to the special celebration by
Americans of the tenth andlversary ol
the blowing up of the battleship Maine,
says:
“They commemorate the blackest
spot in American history, the world,
including honest Americans, believing
that the ship was blown up by direct
orders from the War Department fot
the purpose of justification In the plan
to despoil Spain of Cuba.”
The paper adduces as “convincing
proof” that the officers of the Maine
attended the funeral of the victims in
full dress uniform, which showed that
they must have sent their uniform:
ashore “in anticipation of an expla
sion,” and alleges that the reason the
wreck has never been raised Is that
it would conclusively demonstrate that
the explosion was in the magazine.

Vital Statistics Law Fails.
Seventy-five thousand people turned
out in New York to attend the funeral
of a Yiddish poet. We are not sure
whether this is an indication that the
Yiddish hold poets in great esteem or
whether the demonstration wan in-
tended as an indication of the tri-
umph they felt In having one less
poet among them.
The Keats-Sheliey Memorial asso-
ciation Is of English origin, formed to
do honor to two English poets. The
society has succeeded in raising $17,-

land.
An optimist club in New York
which Is tryig to get members all

to the effect that the optimist sees
the doughnut while the pessimist sees
only the hole. Several learned phy-
• slcians agree that the pessimist will
feel more like an optimist and the op
tlmist more like a pessimist a few
hours later if each eats only what he
sees.
It is mainly from Africa, America

sia, both In Europe and Asia, Mexico,
Canada and several other countries

ing thirty and seven-tenths feet at
noon yesterday, and remaining at that
stage for three house, the high water
jn the rivers is now slowly receding.
Thg danger mark in this city is twen-
ty-two feet. The damage and suffer-
ing caused by the annual flood, Is wide-
spread. As far as is known, there
was no loss of life, and this Is attrib-
uted to the early warning of the local

stock have perished lh considerable
numbers and there are many reports
of persons having narrowly escaped
death in an endeavor to save Ihelr
property.

burg and vicinity are submerged, and
it will be some time today before the
water will be back in the channels of
the rivers and -the numerous small
streams. Thousands of business houses

their buildings of water. Every few
feet along the sidewalks men are
pumping water, and hundreds of these
little streams can be seen spurting
Into the streets.
Electric light plants In these build-
ings, and other valuable niachinesy,
is practically a total loss.

several million dollars.

water is intense. Thousands of per-
sons are living In the upper floors of
their homes, using skiffs as a means
of transportation. The lower portions
of their homes are filled with water.
In many instances the household goods
were not removed, owing to a lack of
time, and chairs, tables, pianos and
bric-a-brac ;yre floating about the
rooms. To add to the suffering of the
victims the weather grew cold yester-
day and snow fell. The gas connec-
tions of the houses have been disar-
ranged and In their present damp con-
dition life is made miserable for the
unfortunate occupants.
