Jan. 1*.?The Wash? ington Post publishes a poll of Demo? cratic congressmen on their opinion, aa to the advisability of nominating William Jennings Bryan to the presi? dency. The vote Is tho preferences of th? congressmen, who expressed a choice. Is as follows: Bryan. 98; Johnson, of Mlnrcsota. II; Judge Gray. 10; Harmon. 4: Cul berson, 4; Hoke Smith. 1; White, 1; Williams. 1; Tom Johnson, mayor of Cleveland, 1. In commenting on the poll, the Post says: Each Democrat was asked the fol? lowing queatlon: ' What candidate do you Individual? ly prefer today, as the Democratic nominee for the, presidency ?" Tho aggregate reply signified a pref? erence on the part of a great majority of Democrats for Bryan, but not of two thirds of the number expressing a preference, which any candidate, to be successful In the Denver conven? tion will need. Nearly all those who voted against the leader of bis party In two national campaigns, prefaced their chclce with a statement that Mr. Bryan would probably be nominated, but would likely be defeated in the election. One of the surprises brought out In the poll la the fact that Mr. Bryan fail? ed to be the preference of a majority of members of the house from cither Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary? land or Virginia although throughout the entire South, he has been consid? ered stronger than any other Demo? crat In tho country. in the A la bums Jelegatton, f ve voted for Bryan, two for Johnson and one for Culberson. This proportion be? tween Bryan and Johnson, la the same In Arkansas. In Florida, two are for Gray, and one for Bryan. Georgia Is strong for the nomination of Bryan, seven declaring for him; one for Gray, and one for Hoke Smith. i On the other hand, In the )<oulalana delegation, only two are for Bryan Three are for Johnson and one for Gray. Kentucky Is divided between three for Johnson and thrte for Bryan. The deciding number could not be found, as* he was absent from the city. A State almost solidly for Bryan Is Mississippi, where six arc for Bryan and one Is for John Sharp Williams. Needles to say Mr. Williams did not vote for himself. The most enthusiastic delegation for Bryan In the tfouth Is that of Missouri Indicated not only In the seven for Bryan and one for Johnson, but In tbe warmth In which the indi? vidual preference was expressed In N'orth Carolina two are for John eon, while eight are for Bryan. Ten? nessee voted seven for Bryan and one for Gray. Texas voted eleven for Bryan and two for Johnson and three for Cul? berson. In Virginia Bryan got only two votes. The Southern members of the house, who oppose Bryan, were Inclined to believe than anybody could carry thtlr section, and. that, therefore, Mr. Bryan could poll the normal Demo? cratic vote. But, they said. In order to carry the Northern States, which have been In the Republican column during the past tin years, another msn than the Nebraskan should be placed at the head of the ticket. ?When the stomach, heart or kid ney nerves get weak, then these or gans always fail.

BAU TO HASTY MAB BAG KS. The Ciilfiolii Church Almut to Promise New Law. A now law of ihe Catholic Church intended t>> prevent hasty marriages will Dt announced after Easter by Cardinal Gibbons and the other pre? lates in this ccuntiy. It is said by prominent priests that the church Is determined t.? discour? age tho practice of marrying wlthont first having th-dr attention announced from the pulpit. When two persons signify to the parish priest their wish to get married, the priests will an? nounce the fuet from the pulpit for three successive Sundays. The revi? val of the old custom of the "banns" gives opportunity to persons to in form the priest of impediments or ob? jection* to Hie marriage. If mne Auch are disclosed the marriage may proceed It is said that according to the new regulation two trustworthy ai.d respon? sible persons must accompany the en? gaged couple and witness their writ the statement cf their desire to be inarriod. Tho law became known in Philadel? phia, where Archbishop Ryan Is re-^ ported to have sent instructions to tho priests. At present the church is confronted with the problem of young couples be? ing mairied after simplv getting a license or gcing to another city. Many priests refuse to marry under those circumstances, and the new rule Is intended to stop such practices. It is believed that with the .help of responsible persons to attest to the relationship of the persons t ? he mar? ried and a thorough understanding of them by the priest many hasty mar? riages may be prevented.

Sheikh Asliiri Comman/Is Moskwa. Formerly Fcurst Hlrmurck. From the New York Mail. A trans-Atlantic liner, which reached heie today, is commanded by a Be? douin sheikh, chief of a tribe of near? ly 100,000 children of the desert. "Caot. Sheikh Ash tri," as his name was entered in the custom house, is the new commander of the steamer Moskwa, ot the Russian volunteer fleet Th? Moskwa was originally th" Puerst Bismarck, of the Hamburg American Line. During the Spanish-American war she was called the Don and was used by Spain in an effort to gobble up American commerce. The forefathers of Capt. Ashiri used to pilot "ships of the desert," and the evolution of the son of a sand wan? derer to the berth of master mariner of a ship gave the dock man a lot to talk about. This is the maiden vovage of Sheikh Ashiri in the Moskwa. In hon>r of his taking command and because ot his having won distinction In the late Russian-Japanese war as commander of the Russian transport Saratov the Czar gave special permission to have a marriage ceremony between hi* eld? est daughter and her cousin, a Rus? sian naval lieutenant, solemnized aboard the Moskwa at Libau just be? fore the ship started. The daughter Is described an one of the most beau? tiful girls in Russia, possessing the dark eyes of her grandmother, a pure blooded Bedouin, who Is living in Je? rusalem. Capt. Sheikh Ashiri Is worth more than $250,000. He owns vast groves of olives, oranges and date palms In Jerusalem. The Bedouin tribe of which he Is chief holds him in the deepest reverence and has tried to keep him among them, but he Is fas? cinated with the call of the sea. ?A tickling cough, from any cause, is quickly stopped by Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. And it is so thoroughly harmless and safe, that Dr. Shoop tells mothers everywhere to give It without hesitation, even to very young babes.

It calms the cough, and heals the sore and sensitive bronchial membranes. No opium, no chloro? form, nothing harsh used to injure or suppress. Simply a resinous plant ex tract, that helps to h<*al aching lung*. The Spaniards calf this shrub which the Doctor uses, "The Sacred Herb." Always demand Dr. Shoop's Cough ""ure. Sibert's Drug Store.
