BRYAN JSPEAKS. Refers to Fraud in Past Elections and Praises PrcKtldoitt lloosrvclt an<l Tolls Why lie Fsonprtl the Paralysis That Has Fallon On His l'arty. William Jennings Bryan was the guest Friday of the Democratic state committee of Massachusetts and at a banquet Friday afternoon in the Quincy house, Boston, delivered an address in which he touched upon various points of Democratic doctrine which, he declared, had been vindicated by eecent events. After spending the night at the home of Geo. Fred Williams, Mr. Bryan came to this city to confer with officers of the New England Democratic Progressive league, for the purpose of arranging for a series of lectures in New England. The dinner followed a reception at which some two hundred Democrats were introduced to Mr. Bryan. Among them was former United States Senator R. F. Pet tigrew, of South Dakota. Mr. Bryan was given a great demonstration, all those present standing and cheering repeatedly. State Democratic Chairman Feenoy introduced him as "the foremost figure in American statesmanship," and expressed his doubt if any office which Mr. Bryan might hold would make him any dearer to the American people. Taking up the story that he was the author of the Democratic platform of 1896, Mr. Bryan declared f hat he wrote but little of that platform and deserved little of the credit for it, but that he had had more to do with the platform of 1900. "1 think," asserted Mr. Bryan, "that if we had had a vote unpurchased and untimidated in 1896, 1 would have been elected by an overwhelming majority.'' He went on: "1 shall not discuss the amount of fraud that was perpetrated in 1896, but we had against us the largest corporation fund that was ever used in a campaign." No one rejoiced more than he in the vindication that lias come to Democratic ideas, for dearer to him : than any of lice was the triumph of the things for which they had been fighting, he said. "And 1 rejoice so much," said Mr. Kryan, 'that 1 never lose an opporK a, tunity to thank the president for what he has done. The president was one of my opponents. No one t ver used harsher language that he id toward our cause. Yet 1 want o man in the community to anticipate me in hearty commendation of anything he does that I believe is right. 1 do not know what the president's attitude will be in the com* ing campaign, but it is certain that he cannot take back what he has said * about our ideas. ? "Ten years ago they called our ' ideas insanity, yet on no question that we ever discussed have we been more vindicated than our idea that more money would make higher prices and better times. "The Republican party has been in power for ten years, with undisputed rule. If it has not done anything that ought to have been done it is its own fault. What is the result? We find the Republican party has gone on the tobogan side, so that *io\ir if liau liief olio 1111111 nrliom if t'n gards as popular enough to be the candidate for president. Why is it that the president alone has escaped the paralysis that has fallen upon all the rest? There is only one explanation, and that is that his popularity is due to his following the Democratic doctrine." Mr. Bryan charged that the slump in stocks of which the men in high finance complained was caused by the very men who are now complaining. "If I may venture a prediction," he added, "I would say that in the fight that is coming the Democratic party will be looked upon as the protector of the small investor against the manipulation of the sharks that have obtained power in Wall street." Mr. Bryan was given a second avation when he concluded his address. The governor of Dele ware places the machinery of the state in the hands of Dr. Marvin of Dover to investigate the mysterious dissappearance of little Horace Marvin. A second cousin and an adopted son of Mrs. Mary G. Eddv have been added to the plaintiff's in the suit to obtain control of her property. mi n ! i! j nt; ivuttsmn reactionaries are trying hard to bring about the dissolution of the second Douma. Speaker Cannon and his party 'of congressmen were received with fireworks at San .Juan, Porto Rico. By the will of Edmund P. Ihvight, of Philadelphia, various church organizations get $200,000. It was first thought that the decision of Mr. Bonaparte would play havoc with the immigration business in this section, but Kx-Gov. Heywardj and Commissioner Watson who visit-1 ed Washington, have found a way to make it almost harmless, Our friends jn New England, who are trying theik best to kill our immigration scheme, will have to try some other plan to iniure us. iwr r-** f KDISTO OOl'NTY MOVEMENT.

There is a hitch Is the proceedings for the proposed new county of Edisto, which is to be made from portions of Orangeburg and Aiken counties, and thero will necessarily be a delay of possibly several days or longer before (iov. Ansel can act on the petition to order an election. The petitions and all the papers in the case were submitted to Attorney Generul Lyon a few days ago. He has gone over the matter very carefully and Thursday night transmitted to the governor the following letter, which shows in what respects the records fail to conforinto the const It utlonal requirements. To His Excellency Gov. M. F. Ansel, Columbia, S. C. Dear Sir: Your letter with petitions for the formation of the propostal new county of Kdisto have been received. I have examined the petitions carefully and find that they do not state that petitioners are onethird of the qualified electors within the area of each section of each old county proposed to be cut off for the formation of the proposed new county. This defect, however, in very probably cured by the affidavits of It. B. II yd rick, S. It. Smith and I). K. Gantt, who state these facts required by the constitution under oath in the affidavits. There is, however, a fatal defect in the potitlon in that it does not show that the lines of the proposed new county do not pass through any corporate city or town. In the respects above stated the petitions do not comply with the provisions of the constitution for the formation of new counties. Very respectfully, J. Frasor Lyon, Attorney General. MANY MAI) IM)GS Menaces tho Fanners of Upper Spartanburg County. Mad dogs are on tho rampage in the, upper section of Spartanburg County and the farmers are living in constant fear of their children being attacked and bitten by the rabid canines. Farmers who live in the section of the county near Parris, who spent the day in tho city, state that during tho past few days a large numhei of dogs have gone mad. Klla Wall, a well known farmer, stated that 3 dogs belonging to hia brother went mad in one day last week and as a matter of protection the dogs had to be shot. Several weeks ngo a mad dog passed through the neighborhood of Parris and attacked the dogs of several citizens. Every one of the dogs that were bitten went mad and bit other dogs and in this way there has been a general epidemic of rabid dogs in that section. Great alarm i Is felt among the country people for J fear that their families may be bitten. VICTIM OF JOKK PIOmSHIOS. Oil Poured on Him Catches Fire and lie Burns to Death. At Pittsburg, Pa., John Domhle, twenty years old, a laborer employed at thoPressed Steel Car Works, in McKees Books, was burned to death Monday, the victim of u joke. Growing fatigued, ho lay down in front of a hot coke salamander and 1 ouloan It is alleged a craneman standing on a crano poured crude oil over the salamandor, thinking the flashes when the oil should ignite would frighten the sleeping man. Most of the oil, instead of going on the salamander, fell on Dombie, saturating his clothes. When the Hash came it Ignited his clothes. Othor employes removed the burning man to the yard and rolled him in the snow, hut the man's body was burned to a crisp before the blazing oil was extinguished. The coroner was notified and started an investigation. The craneman escaped. < A (.rent .Mistake. We heard a young man remark not long since that "tne world owes me a living."

Tiger While Most Bloodthirsty ] ie Least Treacherous I Of all the big cats, Including that l magnificent Jungle-maned monarch of 1 Diiglit, the lion, and including those < beautifully spotted orange and bl.xc* , villains, the Jaguar and the leopard, , and their cousin, that noiseless, light- ( lning-swlft trulior, the panther, train- | era prefer to handle the tiger, says a 1 writer in Appleton'a Magazine. This 1 Is contrary to the popular belief ( which ere 1 its the tiger as the most 1 bloodthirsty of all wild beusts. The ' tiger is, however, the quickest to J learn and the easiest to handle. | Whereas the tiger always remain* a 1 nervous, highstrung brute, after a 1 time a lion becomes phlegmatic and . lazy and requires urging, which la i apt to cause trouble. Whereas the tip^r is a demon incarnate and u.^rci- < less, once aroused, he is at least am 1 honest fighter who gives ample warn- \ ing when about to attack and only as a rare exception attacks a mam from behind, unlike the jaguar, the ( leopard and the panther, which ara ? treacherous and almost invariably at- ] tack when a back is turned. Again, < of all this dangerous family the na- 1 ture of the tiger comes nearest that cf an ordinary house cat, and, always ( comparatively, the tiger it is tnat j I? most appreciative once tlie master i has succeeded in establishing his 1 truce.

"Influenza" was origin *l!y na ; Italian word for ' 'influence," m l among other things, for the "influence" of the stars, which inanit'erte I | itself halcfully in epidemics of (lis ease. Hence "Influenza di fehbre s irlattina," f<jr instance, meant the pi- < domic of scarlet fever." And so, 1 when eighteenth-century Italy was ( prostrated by the sneezing, snufll ng 1 scourge and passed it on to England, it was naturally spoken of as "the" ] Influenza?"the" epidemic; though on ; j the way through Franco it acquired also the name of "In grippe." in allusion to its ferocious way of seizing its vict ims. Two centuries ago little girls called their toy babies "poppets" or "puppets" instead of "dolls." Probably "popsy-wopsy" is simply another form of the word. "Puppet" is descend* I i from the French "poupee" and tin , Latin "pupa," a little girl or doll, from both of which have come other English words. "Poupee has give* "puppy," st> called because the tin/ dog was naturally petted as a plaything; and the Initio word survive# in the sense of a chrysalis, and ha# a descendant in the "pupil" of tin eye, the "baby" that any one may see reflected in it. "Helpmeet." has had a curious history which began with the biblical nc iTuum 01 mo creation, wnen "tne lord God sail!: It la not good that tho man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him." That ia to say, a tit assistant. Hut the two words hav? become curiously combined Into a "helpmeet," and they are constantly used aa one. Moreover, the confusion is increased by the corruption of tb? words into "helpmate," and Macaulay writea of the waiting woman who was "generally considered aa the most suitable help mate for a parson."? Chicago News. "Toffee" as Made in England. It may he possible that there ar# some persons who grow old so thoroughly that they actually forget that they ever were children, but I can't help wondering if any man or woman ever lived to such an age aa to hecome impervious to the delights of "toffee," or the butterscotch that has made Doncaster a household word to every civilized nation under the aun. Of course, you have eaten it. I will give you the secret reeine for ihi? candy, for It is made nowhere a* in England: "Take three pounds of 'coffee,' or 'C' sugar, butter to tin amount of a pound and a quarter, with half a teaspoonful of cream ol tartar. First dissolve the sugar ir? Just as much cold water as may be required for the purpose, then mix a!l the ingredients together, and boil them, without stirring the mixtur# until it will snap when dropped in cold water. At this moment remove it from the tire; add eight or ton drops of lemon extract, according to itg strength, and pour the mixture into well-greased pans to bo cut inte squares as it cools."?Bohemian.

The bridge over the Isonzo river i? one of the f>0 largest bridges in the world and has a span of 27b feet. The reason for the multiplicity of bridges is the mountain country through which the railroad runs, hut the level crossing for a railroad i? toot tolerated In Austria. | Why It Didn't Pay.

When the Republican party was a party of principle and not a party of plunder an it is now, it had many great men in its ranks. One of these was William H. Seward, who was at one time Governor of New York and N later Secretary of State under Presi- ) dent Lincoln. We class Seward among the great men of his time because he was not carried away at the close of the war by his prejudices and arrayed himself against the rebels, as the people of the South was then called. In the midst of the excitement and passion of that period he rose above mere party advantage and advocated what was best for the whole country, regardless of section. At that time bitterness and passion held sway, and the great object of many who were therf in authority was to humiliate the people of the South. But Seward was not one of them. He was concerned about the future of his great country. In 1866 in answer to the question "how about the negroes," propounded to him by Mr. E. L. Godkin, who was then editor of a New York Republican paper, Mr. Seward said "I am not at all concerned about them. The North has nothing to do with the negroes. I have no more concern for them than I have for the Hottentots. They are God's poor; they always have been and always will be so everywhere. They are not of our race. They will find their place. They must take their level. They laws of political economy will determine their no I si lion and the relation of the two races. Congress cannot contravene those. 1 am ready to leave the interests of the most intelligent white man in the guardianship of his state, and where 1 leave the interest of the white, I am willing to trust the civil rights of the black." This is the language of a clearheaded statesmen, and had it heen acted on the entire country would have been saved a great deal of trouble, and the South would have been spared the horrors of the reconstruction period. What Mr. Seward said less than one year after the close of the civil war was the true solution of ^ the race problem, and sooner or later it will be put in practice. He said the way of peace was that none but white men should possess political power in the United States, but that all other races should be safe-guarded in person and in property. This is what Mr. Seward thought in 18G6, and it is what more than a majority of the white people of the entire country think to-day. It is freely admitted that giving the negro the ballot was the blunder of the century just, closed. Many of the most prominent men of the North now admit that it was a mistake to clothe the negro with political rights and they would take them away from him now if they knew how to do it. They see nrwtr urUo t tKn nlrvii v* m<mi tv well/ me en ai -ueilUl'H OfWttl U saw when passion and hatred toward the South ruled the hour. Hardly the Cause. Writing on "Race Suicide" in the North American Review, Mrs. Christine Terhune Herrick declares that the increased cost of living shows directly in the decrease of large fami lies. Large families, as were common in the early days of the republic, the writer believes will come when the cost of living is substantially reduced. This argument is not limited in scope to the mere matter of feeding the babies that arrive, but looks as well to the time when they cease to be babies and have the wants of boys and girls?the education, the clothJ ing and the various social advantages which will set them up in life. She says Americans does not relish the prospect of bringing up sons and daughters to compete in the markets with labor brought over in the steerage. American parents are probably not different from the parents of other races, but they hold one trait, that is of vital importance in this connection. American fathers and mothers want their children to have a better chance in life than they themselves had. To insure this they first get the corn or the price of it. stored up, and the scarcer the corn the slower they are about multiplying mouths to need it. There are other reasons for small families beside those assigned by Mrs. Herrick. Some of the richest people have only one or two children, while many poor people have large families. "Race Suicide" has about ruin- \ ed New England, and it will ruin the South if it ever takes the same hold on us that it has on the people of that section. It is reported that Thos.
