Halter-Breaking Colts.
It is an excellent practice to break a
J colt to halter at weaning time, for the
i younger the colt, is taught to lead the
: more easily is the operation accom- j
plished. Youngsters halter-broken at
weaning time are more than half liar- j
ness broken when of age for service. !
j It is quite an undertaking to round tip 1
a three or four-year-old colt and break
It to iKIIItT. WHICH ICUl IS UCCCSSill i I
j before the process of harness racing !
I commences. At that age they are so
j strong and frequently make such a
protracted and stubborn tight that the
animal is spoiled. It not infrequently i
happens that the horse rears and
breaks its neck in the operation. AL1
danger may bo avoided, and the labor
necessary to educate the cold to lead
will Ik' minimized by halter-breaking
at w<?aniug time. A colt will soon yield !
to the tension of the halter if pulled at
an angle, and it quickly learns that
to follow the breaker relieves it from
pain. The resistance is brief and the !
subjugation complete.
Further export of carbolic acid hiving
been prohibited by the English
government, it is to be hoped that
the domestic crop of suicides by this
prevalent mode will correspondingly
decrease.

Bryan in Charleston.
Charleston, S. C., Special. BryanM
speech of Thursday night is the sole
topic of conversation on Che streets
j.ere. To say that the great Democratic
leader and orator made a profound
|mpression is stating the case mildly.
?* * --?'i rfVirtnlfloffvn anrl
;ie iias ruuqun-cu
r3rya.ii men. real Democrats, are thick
,ns blackberries in June. He has convinced
hundreds of people against
their will that the Chicago platform
;s simon-pure Democracy and the Palfuer-Buckner
variety is the counterfeitpryan
put the truth so strongly beford
the people that they had to be convinced.
Charleston's views are sounder
on the money question, trusts, imperialism
and other issues than they ever
were, and all thanks are due to William
Jennings Bryan for the good that
he has done. It was a most remarkable
audience that faced Mr. Bryan at
the Thomson auditorium; -remarkable
in many ways. The correct estimate
of the attendance is thought to be
something over 7,000 men and women."
while last night, tho more enthusiastic!
Democrats thought t*hat the atten-:
dance was up near IC.000. People remained
away from Max O'ReH's lecture,
the St. Cecilia society ball and a
large German dance that they might
hear Bryan, which is a compliment to
him, considering Charleston's peculiarities.
The ovation that the distinguished
visitor received was totaJly
unexpected to those -of Mr. Bryan's
views and it was most gratifying to
him. The ladies, and there were many . .
present, Joined in the cheering and en- v
deavored to make their approval of tho
man, and the principles he represented,
" '* " T>?*? fnr SO minutes I
ieil. .>1 r. JDI YdLl O^/unv
and he could have held the attention
of his hearers for 50 minutes longer,
lor everybody wanted h.lm to continua
to talk and would have insisted upon it
were it not fcr the schedule that had
to be observed. As stated above,
everybody was impressed with the
greatness of the man and the way that
he expounded the principles of the
Democi'itic party. As a result converts
were made and the political tone
of the whole community raised. Men
will no longer have to whisper their
belief ;ln Democratic principles in
Charleston. They can assert It like
men and not feel as if they are confessing
a crime when they state their
iui-^1 /vMivJr>tinns_ There are some
JJUUULU1 VVM .
people who refused to go to the meeting
because they were fearful of conviction.
They knew beforehand that they
would be converted but they chose to
grope their way in the dark. There
are also a few, a precious few, who
ventured to the meeting and summed
up courage to say that Bryan's speech
"was not argument" but only "a
harangue to the hoi polloi." An instance
of the sort of criticism that they
direct at Mr. Bryan's speech Is given in
the statement of an East Bay merchant
that Mr. Bryan's argument on
the money question contained no figures,
as if Mr. Bryan did not know the
nf the audience that he was
addressing and purposely stated Instead
of dull, monotonous figures. It
was stated on the streets that Maj. J.
C. Hemphill had told Mr. Bryan that
while he could not endorse -his views
on the money question, he was heartily
with him on the trust and imperialism
issues and that the News and
Courier will give him its support Mr.
Bryan said in reply that this was a
campaign of education and he hoped
to yet convert the editor to his view*
on the money quesuuu.
