CHEERFUL IN HIS HOUR OF]DEFEAT Mr Bryan Finds Consolation in Nebraska Victory * and Others LINCOLN. Neb.. Nov. 4.—While not caring to discuss at this time the politi cal effect of thq democratic victory In his home state or analyse the causes, 'Wra. J. Bryan this afternoon In an U.formal talk to a number of friends who called on him, expressed hla pleasure at the re sult In Nebraska and the satisfaction it afforded him to learn of the election of so many of his political and personal friends. A delegation numbering nearly a hun dred from Lincoln visited Mr. Bryan at • Fairview to express to him their confi dence and devotion and to assure him that such was the sentiment of a majori ty of the people of his city and state. Mr. Bryan in responding said: "I am highly gratified over the results In this state. The national defeat has not been such a disappointment when we have had so many things to console ua I hope I have convinced my friends that running for office has only been an In- cldent-to my work. My heart has never been set on holding office, hut I wanted to do certain works and It looked as though the presidency might offer the opportunity to do that work. I am sure that In private life I can have the chance to dp something. One Is not required to hold office In order to do big things; one le simply required to do those things within his reach, nnd that much Is with in the reach of each of us. ■ “Personally. I shall nnd as much Joy being out of office. If the returns show I must be. os I would lx in office. I hope ctlll to be of Influence to bring about needed reforms. I appreciate very much, the confidence and loyalty of the people near us. it has been the greatest com fort that the election has given us. The fact that those among whom we live have shown this conlldence we appre ciate more than I con tell you. It has been very kind In you to come out here and visit us on this day." The defeat he sustained yesterday did nm. weigh heavily on Mr. Bryan. He was one of the most cheerful of thoss at his home and laughed and Joked good naturedly* with hts visitors. Tonight Mr. Bryan was the guest of honor at the banquet of the State Teachers* Associa tion. where he made a short address. He has no other Immediate plans than to rest at his honfe. following his canvass.

Constructed on a few simple lines the plot increase* througnout three acts. each other. A wife devotedly loving hey hushead. craving elegant hutn and dresses in order to appear charmingly before him end hold his love, yields to the temptation of steal ing a Urge sum of money fromdhe friends whom they *re a visiting. The young son of the hostess, infatuated with the wife, make* love to her and Is repelled. A detective Is brought Into the house to ferret out the thief end fixe* the theft on the son. because of Ms suspicions ac tions.

The husband's suspicions are aroused, however, by finding some of the money in his wife’s possession and he Anally wrings from her a confession of the theft which leads up to further suspicions of the wife'* fidelity In which the offense of the theft Is dwarfed Into Insignificance.

From the New York Herald. "Hotels catering to fashion have dona one thing for us all,*’ said a wo man of society Thursday. “They have abolished skim milk from the service. Many small hotels still be lieve It possible to give one mere milk with tea, and cannot realise that the lea drlngcr will know the difference, but the truth Is. real tea drinkers, those who have English taste In tea. will not go where they are obliged to color the beverage with weak milk. English tea Yequlres rich cream, tho same as coffee, if cretm Is used at all, and the average woman cannot be de ceived. Rending back the milk and watting for cream to be substituted delayed ne’a pleasure, besides putting an end to patience. Of course, the new hotels understand all this and Play no tricks on tho customer* for the sake of a petty ecenomv Where ono pays cream prices skim milk should be unknown. )0<SBIETY An UpJInks Party Given In Honor of Miss Qeaala Hardans.

Y.»' Nov. 4.—A little band of 600 “regu lars” saw the Metropolitan racing sea- ■ of 1908 come to a melancholy close today. Fubllo Interest In racing has been on the wane alnce early summer, when the law, which had permitted the making of wngers In public at tho race tracks, was replaced by another prohibiting public betting and provid ing for a severe penalty for violations. Many wealthy owners have transferred thdr best horses to sections where tho laws governing betting are not so stringent an here. A largo number of horses have been nent to Europe by their owners. There was lacking to day among tho handful of regulars at Jamaica any hopefulness for next sea son. In fact the belief seemed gen eral that for the “sport of kings,” tho only oasis In the desert of uncertainty lay In the near eastern, southern and western tracks, and there was preva lent a fefcr lest what seemed an />asls In the south might turn out to be a mirage, owing to the reform movement there. Fortune smiled on the stable of James R, Keene, who again this year led the list of winners, his earn ings having been $282,000. “Smiling Joe” Notter led the Jookeya this season by a comfortable margin, with E. Fagan second, and the little westerner, D. McCarthy, a close third.
