Greensboro, N. C., Sept. 18.—The
Bryan party spent the night here, leav
ing today for Winston-Salem and oth
er points In the state. Mr. Bryan
delivered a speech last night before
a great crowd. He was Introduced by
Mayor Charles Stedman, former lieu
tenant' governor.
On the train which brought the Bry
an party to Greensboro was the body
of Dr. Charles Duncan Mclvar, presi
dent of the State Normal and Indus
trial College, who died of apoplexy
while n passenger on the train. Dr.
Mclvar was a member of the recep
tion committee appointed for Gull-
ford county.
When Mr. Bryan spoke last night
he eulogised Dr. Mclvar. Ha said that
Dr. Mclvar’s life was nn Ideal one,
and that he (Bryan) would rather die
Ith his record than with the name and
fame of John D. Rockefeller. Dr. Mc
lvar was the one who twelve years ngo
invited Mr. Bryan to make his first
visit to this state. The distinguished
seemed deeply affected by the
death of hla friend.
When Mr. Bryan had concluded Gov
ernor R. 11. Glenn made a brief ad
dress, In which he praised the life and
ork of Dr. Mclvar:
At the McAdoo hotel a big reception
was held, at which Mr. iiryan met
many men prominent In the party in
the state.
CONTROL OF RAILROAD8
TOUCHED BY BRYAN.
Raleigh, N. C„ Sept. 18.—In hla
speech here yesterday William Jen
nings Bryan said that the rate bill
which recently became a law could
not have been passed without the aid
of the Democrats.
Because I have stated that It Is
olng to bo Impossible to get relief
_roin this rate law on account of the
corrupting Influence of railroads,” said
Mr. Bryan, “I am Jumped on by all
the newspapers that failed to support
me heretofore and by people who
thought I had changed and begun to
yield to the Influence of predatory
wealth.
What Roosevelt Said.
President Roosevelt, himself. In two
messages said that If this law were not
effective we could expect public own
ership to come, and that did not create
any commotion In the country- I mere
ly went a step farther and said that
from my observations I did not believe
It would be effective.
"If any North Carolina Democrat
does not believe that corrupting In
fluences will make this law Ineffective,
rend our own platform. There Is not
a state In the South that has not felt
the corrupting Influences In legislation.
Believing It ultimately to be the solu
tion, I gave a plan that would give the
benefit of public ownership without the
danger of centralisation. It was a
dual plan, giving each state the right
to control Its own roads and protect Its
Interests."
Handed One to 8haw.
Mr. Bryan referred to Secretary
Shaw’s recent visit to the state, when
he spoke at Asheville, and said he felt
grateful to Mr. Shnw for the service
he had rendered the Democratic party.
He said, however, that Shaw had not
paid North Carolina a high compli
ment as the secretary had tried to palm
off In the state a .ipeech which had
been rejected In Shaw's own state. He
characterised Shaw aa the high priest
of the stand-potters and that he goea
beyond every Republican In thinking
that the Republican party has done
everything necessary.
Mr. Rrvan asserted that when even
a Republican spenks of anything with
praise and rejoicing he speaks of some
thing done In accordance with Demo
cratic doctrine. And when he apolo
gises he Is talking about some purely
Republican doctrine. Everything the
Republicans say on the tariff, he de
clared, was In the nature of an apolo-
AFTER NOMINATION
IN GRANITE STAT
Rumored That Winston
Churchill May Bolt Re
publican Party. •
Concord, N. H., Sept. 18.—The Re,
publican state convention which as
sembled here today Is one of the most
notable gatherings of its kind which
the Granite States has ever seen, mark
lng the close of a campaign that has
attracted attention far beyond state
lines. Four candidates are actively en
gaged In trying to win the place at the
head of the ticket. They are Charles
H. Greenlenf, Charles M. Floyd, Rose
crana W. Plllsbury and Winston
Churchill.
The great Issue this year la the qnes,
tlon of corporation duminatlon In pol
Itlcs. Messrs. Greenlenf and Floyd rep.
resent the conservative element, hold
lng that state affairs are being well
conducted and that no radical changes
of any kind are necessary. Mr. Green
leaf le looked upon us the candidate of
the regular Republican organisation
and has the support of United States
Senator Jacob H. Golllnger, who 1s
chairman of the Republican state com
mlttee.
Mr. Plllabury, upon announcing his
candilacy, declared that the conduct
of state afTalra for the past few years
had been bad, and attributed this to the
Influence of the Republican party “ma
chine.'' He Insists (hat state expenses
have been Increasing too rapidly, and
that there are too many commissions
carrying on state business.
Winston Churchill, the novelist,
responsible for much of the Interest In
the campaign. He is out for governor
on a unique platform. He attneks the
Boston and Mnlne railroad, and (le
Clares that Its Influence In New Hamp,
shire politics la paramount. He saya
that this Influence was largely gain
ed through the Issuance of free pusses
by the railroad to members of the leg
islature and others, and declares that
such passes should he abolished,
also advocates a dliect primary law
tux reform measures and the rumina
tion of the lobby In the legislature.
Since the beginning of Mr. Churchill's
campaign almost the sole topic of dis
cussion In pollticu! circles has been the
free pass question.
That Mr. Churchill cannot win the
nomination Is the general opinion
among those well Informed as to the
situation. But the platform that Mr.
hurchlll Is supporting has undeniably
made a deep Impression. The result of
this probably will be that the conven
tion will declare for a change of the
existing relations between the railroad
aystem and the lawmakers, nnd will
ask the senatorial and representative
districts to select candidates In sympa
thy with the reform. The platform may
be experted also to declare against the
lobby, and Qj-obaMy point Its linger In
scorn to the Salem race track legisla
tion. The taxation question Is likely to
be met by resolutions providing for the
establishment of a commission on
equalisation.
No one of the four candidates goes
Into the convention with n majority of
the delegates, and the nomination prob
ably will be settled by a combination.
If It Is Impossible to bring about n
union a dark horse may he sprung.
Among those persons mentioned
such an emergency Is the present gov
ernor. John McLane. who might he giv
en another term to bridge over the
chnsm. , .
Thero has been some gossip that
Churchill, In the event of his failure to
win the nomination, might belt the
Republican ticket, make nn alliance
t't the Democrats nnd run at the
nd of a fusion ticket. There Is be
lieved to he small chance, however, that
this will occur. Former United Slates
Senator W. K. Chandler Is Churchill's
polltlrnl adviser, nnd It Is not thought
Chandler would sanction a bolt
from the Republican ticket.

as you directed and today I bought an
other 60c box. Gentlemen, candidly
speaking, I must tell you the truth,

"Quack, quack, quack!" Thus I was
greeted when I entered Miss Ken-
nark's dressing room in Savannah a
few nights ago. Mias Kcnnark was
putting the finishing touches upon her
Dotty Singleton. And she looked every
inch "The Toast of the Town."- But
my attention waa drawn to the source
of the salutation. Pedestaled upon one
of the coatume trunka was a big goose
with a pink ribbon pendant round his
neck, serene and dignified, eating
cheese. My entrance had Interrupted
him Just for a minute.
"One of the company?" I observed.
"Well, yee."
"Does he know his Clyde Fitch
lines?" I asked.
"Now laugh. He might know his
Clyde Fitch lines If I had a mind to
teach them to him," said Mlaa Ken-
nark. "I picked that fellow up bock
Virginia nnd Intend to take him on
tour with me. Now listen to me,
young man, nnd you will go out of here
wiser fellow.
"There Is a simplicity about the
i loose that does not require much ef
fort on our part to Identify It with a
shell fish or Jelly fish, for that mat
ter. And thero Is u suit air freshness
hanging about It. But aside from Its
freshness and simplicity. Its profound
stupidity brings It very near the soil
and driftwood and things. Simply the
ordinary work-a-day goose Is the
Ideallxntlnn of stupidity. Applied to a
man It means silly creature; a simple
ton. A milder term perhaps thnn -nss,’
and carrying less repronch with It: In
sooth It may express affection. 'You
silly goose,' may be closely associated
with moonlight and things.
The Clown Gooee.
"Now, all this I learned after seeing
a big circus last summer. To many
(ample the feature of this big, refined
vaudeville circus was a trained goose.
A web-footed, bead-eyed goose, that
took on the mannerisms of a man, rap
tured the sympathy of a whole canvas
full of people.
“To the eternal strains of the circus
brasses Ms gooseshlp waddled the en
tlr * circumference of the tent, perhaps
half a mile. With head erect, chest
thrown nut, looking neither to right
nor left, he look on the mannerisms
nnd aspect of the rlotvn who led the
march. The bird Imitated the man:
tho man Imitated the bird.
"Now the man has been many gen
erations in the making. It has taken
man countless ages to learn the art of
cooking his food nnd to build a gravel
roof and to put on the grease and the
paint; In fact, It has taken him a long,
long lime to I earn the art of 'm»ke-u|>’
and the business of the clown. He has
been ages coming up from that piece of
driftwood to which he used to adhere.
Rut he has Anally reached a point
where he can Imltnte an animal with
the greatest ease, ns witness the animal
Impersonators In the musical comedian.
But the poor goose, the silly goose! He
had to step right Into moo’s shoes, with
no rehearsal to speak of; he had to
know the art of pantomime and Im
personation without a minute’s no
tice. And to say truth he was letter
perfect.
"Now there Is no particular sympa
thy between the goose and the man.
Give tho goose the teeth and the claws
and the strength of the lion and lls
own Instincts and attributes. It would
make mincemeat of the man. And If
the man were hungry he would make a
goose roast of the goose. But In the
face ef all this, that waddling goose
was very closelv allied to that wad
dling clown. There was a knot of
svinonthy somewhere, and it extended
to the 14,000 spectators. The feeling
was as acute as that which moves an
audience at a good mechanical melo
drama, when the ubiquitous newsboy
rescues the heroine nt the old bridge,
or the old railroad station; or as deep
as the emotion of those who heard
'Merely Mary Ann' compare the kiss of
her sweetheart to that of her dying
mother. Simply -ono touch of nature
makes the whole world kin.’ That gooee
commanded the sympathy of a canvas
full.
A Point for Players.
"Had Ills gooseshlp been in danger
anyone of the spectators would have
gone to his gooseshlp’s rescue. Per
meating It all there waa sublime slm
pllclty. Granted that the act waa nov
el, and It excited the curiosity and
stupid goose trained to act might ex
cite the attention at any ttme, but there
was a power lying In the simplicity of
the thing. And It Is this attribute that
Is going to command the attention of
the theatergoing public, he It under
tent nr In the theater. Playwrights
may watch this goose act and gain a
K lnt. The simple play la going to
ve its day. There were big acta in
that circus; acts which required a big
expenditure of money, work and pa
tience; but the simple, silly, grotesque,
seml-earthly goose was the hit of the
performance.
"However, In the march around the
ring much of the ridiculous waa Inst
In the goose. Hla dignity hung pat
upon him, with his head high and his
breast out and his toes out nnd his
Ings held close to his sides, he made
,very excellent oltlxen Indeed.
"When I saw that goose In the circus
was determined to own one. And
there he la. And I may teach him a
port, too."
At this point Miss Kennark received
her cue nnd left me In company with
the goose.

Two feature! of tha Whtte-McLen-
don abattoir proposition met with op
position at the Mellon of council Mon-
day afternoon. One waa the proponed
city etockade alte and tha other n par-
tlon of the board of health report which
deelynatea the central abattoir aa the
place where cattle In less than car lota
■hall be Inspected.
The matter was referred back to the
special meat investigating committee,
which will hold Joint aesalon with the
prison committee of council.
Immediately upon the opening of
council a communication from Henry
L. Collier, commissioner of public
works, was read which In substance
stated that the abattoir would be a
serious menace to the prison and would
occupy land from which the city was
now realizing aa much and possibly
more money than waa promised by tho
backers of the abattoir proposition.
The communication stated tlmt the
city now secures 1360 per annum rins
ing crops and that some $8,000 per an
num Is realized from the nearby quar
ries which would be mnterially Inter
fered with by the erection of the abat
toir. It further states that the peni-
'entlary farm Is even now too small.
There was also a communication
rmm the prison commlnion of council
which asked that the abattoir be al
lowed another site.
