CUMBERLAND, Md, Continuing his campaign eastward William J. Bryan arrived here this morning. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
