curs Displeasure of Fed
eration.
short time ago, after a vary
satisfying Sunday dinner, several gen
tleman sat discussing, over their cigars,
"things In general,” which always In
clude politics.
It was ijnly a few momenta before a
friendly bout had been framed up over
William J. Bryan's proapecla for an
other presidential nomination, and the
Justification therefor by hla past record'
before the American people.
In ihe group were two ardent advo
cates of the Nebraskan, one equally
ardent opponent—not of the man, but
of hla convictions—and two neutrals.
Soon, and naturally enough, th« talk
turned upon the two greatest gems In
Mr. Bryan's oratorical crown—his
speeches at Chicago In ISff and at 8t.
Imula In 1*04—and of the famous pe
riod In each of these—the "crown of
thorns rrnd cross of gold” climax st
Chicago and the thrilling prelude of
defense In hla great speech at 8t.
Louis.
Ths "crown of thorns and cross of
gold" period wae familiar enough to
all present, but an attempt to quote
the one which added new laurels to
the Nebraskan's fame st St. Louis pro
voked a question as tc the accuracy of
the rendering.
Mr. Roger Atkinson, a well-known
Virginian, now connected with the
Southern Bell Telephone Company In
Atlanta, was of the company end be
ing a good persona' and politest friend
of Mr. lb i .-ii.’-. < 'lay or two later

dering of the language In question.

Rio de Janeiro, Aug. $.—Tbe much-
dlacuaeed project of connecting New
York and Buenos Ayres, the capital
city of the Argentine Republic, by
means of the Pan-American railway,
Is entirely feasible, according to the
report of the committee appointed at
the last conference In Mexico In 1*03.
Tha distance along the line of the
proposed Psnama-Amerlcan railway Is
10,400 miles. According lo Ihe report.
there are not more than 3,700 miles of
Inter-continental railway not specific
ally provided for. On the point of
cost the report aaya:
"The committee under whose dlrec
tlon the Inter-continental surveys were
made, and of which A. J. Cassatt was
chairman, approximated the coat at
about 332,000 a mile; but, allowing the
large estimate for railway construc
tion , which Is 350,000 per mile, this
would mean that the expenditure of
$116,000,000 would Insure a completion
of all these sections.''

embodied In another ordinance to come
up before council within the next thirty
days.
Councilman William Oldknow will
also be the author of tho new ordl

the theaters now standing and will call
for radical changes In the exits, seat
Ing arrangement and other interior as
well as exterior arrangements of some
of the theaters, notably the Bijou.
It will be remembered that the first
ordinance drawn up by Councilman
Oldknow regulated the theaters now
standing ns well hm those In contem

hacked to pieces by the committee un
til there was nothing left of the portion
which will be touched upon by the ne\v

Councilman Oldknow stated Wednes

•Many of those who were hostllo
to a portion of the old ordinance have
been converted and will support like

1 hope to get a committee together to
thoroughly Investigate the need of such
an ordinance. There Is no doubt that
the members will be willing supporters
after carefully studying the existing

tlmo, officer Cook, who had learned of
