Made Last Night in At
lanta.
CUMBERLAND, Md, Continuing
his campaign eastward William J.

National Committeeman McGraw,
from West Virginia, and whos e guest
Mr. Bryan will b e tomorrow at Deer
Park, accompanied him from Wheel
ing.
All through the night along the line
of travel crowds assembled and made
noisy demonstrations in Mr. Bryan’s
honor. They persisted in their de
mands that he mak e his appearance.
Some even rapped on the window of
his state room in the hope of forcing
him out. The tooting of locomotive
whistles at various points was anoth
er manifestation of friendliness.
As soon as he could be seen Mr.
Bryan was asked regarding the state
ment made at Atlanta last night by
William R. Hearst that Mr. Bryan
four months ago asked his support
for th „ residency, promising to sup
port Mr. Hearst in 1012. “Absolutely
false,” was the only comment Mr.
Bryan would make.
Following Breakfast at the hotel,
Mr. Bryan was taken over the city and
surrounding country in an automo
bile. He is scheduled for two speech
es here. One at 3 p. m. and the other
at 7:30 p. m.
lIC WRIGHT’S
AEROPLANE
• BETTER
WASHINGTON. —Changes are be
ing made in the machinery of Orville
Wright's aeroplane, giving greater
power to the engine, by which the
Aviator hopes to maintain the speed
of forty-four miles an hour, which
would give him a bonus of SIO,OOO if
this speed were averaged in official
speed trial.
Wright said he is going to Europe
after the official flights at Fort Myer,
and while non-commital, does not
deny his object is to make an efTort
to capture the prize of ten thousand
pounds offered by the London Daily
Mail for a flight from London to Man
chester. Wright feels confident he
can fulfill the conditions with the ma
chine he is using at Fort Myer.
AMERICAN GANG ARE
SWINDLING GROCERS
Selling Clay and Trash to
the Duped Country Gro
cers.
PARIS—A gang of swindlers bf
lieved to be either french Canadians
or Americans from the state of
Wood' it nutmegs, who had an eye to
business with store keepers, began
by investing their first plunder in a
horse and wagon. As to the goou:
they were not particular. Lumps of
clay dug up in the suburbs and nice
ly done up in neat parcels sufficed as
stock in trade. With this they
started out doing the store keepers.
One of the men sat in front of the
wagon as driver, and another at the
back. The latter was to take up the
goods. They represented a wholesale
provision dealer.
A neatly dressed woman preceded
them at each of the grocers, where
they were to call. She said to one
dealer after the other that she had
mst moved into a house nearby and
needed ever so many things of which
she handed a list. The grocer was
delighttd with so promising a cus
tomer, but was sorry he did not have
any of the articles she desired. He
would order them at once and In a
few hours she would have them
Scarcely was the woman gone when
the two men with the wagon turned
up. They just hajHioned In each
case to have the articles. Th'e groc
er buys 250 francs worth, pays the
men in cash, and they drive off to
the next victim. The grocer opens
•he parcels after they have gone and
to his amazement finds that they i
contain nothing but clay. This thing
went on for several weeks and the
police have a yard long list of sad
grocers, who curse the American
swindlers.

SERVED PRISON
TEMIJI PROXt
But Unluckily Wai Found
Out by tbe Authorities.
PARTS. —To serve a short term in
prison by proxy was the bright Idea
of a Paris commercial traveler, but
unluckily for him the scheme did not
please th () court.
When summons to serve two wesks
in a cell in th„ Sants prison reached
M. Dupre, h ( . Bent for a poor wretch
who was only too glad to have his
meals and bed assured for two weeks
and to receive a handsome present
besides.
The drummer offered him ten
francs, a suit of clothes and board
and lodging for ono month after his
discharge from the prison. The prop
osition was accepted with enthusiasm
and the tramp declared It was a pity
thorp was not enough customers alt
the year round for whom ho could do
a little term In prison.
M. Dupre handed him all the neces
sary papers and with those tho man
was duly admitted and assigned to a
coll in the Saute prison. V'” — be
came out after two weeks hJ :
ho had had n rather pleasant!
was prepared to enjoy stlil hi I
for a month at the drumofeil
ponse.
Unfortunately t,h„ secret leak!
The police lonrncd that the drl
had been attending to his hustil
usual during Ills supposed linj
ment, and as he could not be Its
and out. of it at tho sam 0 tirii
Inquired.
Tho result whh that tho drA
haH now received a second sum
to spend two weeks In prison and this
time care will ho taken to see that
he goes there in person, while his
proxy, on til,, other hand, flndß him
self charged with “usurpation d’etat
civil,” that is to say, usurping an
other person's civil status, which her,,
in France may prove a tremendous
offense.
TREHTMENT GIVEN
SI SLOTjICHI
PARIS—The petinv In the slot ma
chine ims been adopted for use in
I the medical profession by a well
known Paris physician of the newer
school that Is not afraid of advertis
ing. In this new and Improved form
of apparatus Ihe slot is for five, t. n
and twenty francs pieces, .while tho
machine proper consists of a human
figure of Iron enamelled in various
colors.
The chief organs are mapped out
on the body and painted In different
and appropriate hues, red for tho
heart, blue for tho liver, because pre
sumable "blues” are due to It, uud so
on.
A slot corresponds to each organ.
When you go to consult the doctor
you consult not him but his machine.
If you have a sore throat you pay five
franca Into Its throat. For heart dis
ease 20 francs must be dropped into
the cardiac valvo, Insane persons or
their keepers, one supposes put tlvo
twenty francs pieces Into tho brain
slot, and If you have a leg that wants
cutting off, you drop a ecrtuln number
of loulsdors Into Ihe thigh or calf as
Ihe case may be.
In return the machine Instantly
produces a clearly printed prescrip
tion on a ticket und all you have to
do Is to have It made up and get
well. In the caso of amputations tho
ticket consists of a vochor entitling
the bearer to have one arm or leg
cut off In the doctor's private hos
pital.
For all other ailments the doctor
Is so perfectly sure of his methods of
treatment that he has made out his
prescriptions once for all.
MOTOR PLOUGH DESIGNED
FOR WAR PURPOSES ONLY
PARIS. —A "motor plough,” not In
tended for agricultural purposes, but
to dig trenches In case of war, baa
been Invented by n young engineer,
M. Rloster, und bought by the war
department.
The machine which Is horsndrawa
on the road, consists of an ordinary
gunourrlag,. to which Is coupled the
motor plough proper. When the
plough la put In use on ground In
which a trench Is to be dug, a lever
lowers a share and starts the motor
which then propels the vehicle, the
horses being required only to guide
It. The engine at the same time seta
in motion a flywheel weighing 250
pounds, armed with four steel blades
and turning at th« rate of 1,000 revrv
lotions a minute. The motor which
is of four cylinders and 100-hor*»
power, spends only 10 per cent of Its
energy In propelling the plough, the
remainder being used for the excavate
log apparatus.
The ploughshare having drawn the
furrow, the revolving blades dig the
trench, and spades and a harrow also
moved by the motor throws up the
dirt.
The flywheel by Its weight and ve
locity Is powerful enough to turn up
the hardest soil. The machine Is cap-
I ebl t . whlio traveling at U mites ag
hour of digging a trench I feet deep
and nearly fi feet wld| and throwing
no corresponding earthworks some •
high.
