BRYAN ON GROVER. The Democratic Party Will Still Stand for Silver. IS GROVER A CANRIDATEt His Recent Speech Before the Reform Club Commented On By the Democratic Leaders. New York, April Mr. Cleveland's speech before the R- form Club on Saturday night is re garded by many here as a direct bid for another nomination.

That the Reform Club is for him there is little doubt, but the true democrats are indignant that ne should pre- surae to be a defender of the faith. Few will consent to be quoted, but the opinion is expressed that Mr. Cleveland is leading a forlorn hope, as neither the gold nor silver men have confidence in his ability to collect a following. In a dispatch from Washington it is said the belief there is held by silver men that the speech was a formal announcement of Cleveland's candidacy in 1900 on a platform of alleged sound money and tariff reform. The tenor of the remarks of democratic senators and representatives interviewed is expressed by Senator Morgan, of Alabama, the dispatch says, who said Mr.

Cleveland's speech was a direct bid for the nomination in 1900, but he fancied there would not be enough Cleveland democrats in the next national democratic convention to make a motion and secure a second. effect," he was asked, Mr. Cleveland's speech have on the future of the democratic party?" whatever," he replied. democrat cares what he thinks or what opinion he expresses. He has separated himself from the party which he traitorously betrayed and for his own peace of mind and that of his family he should remain in the state of innocuous desuetude to which he has relegated himself by his own In a dispatch from Lincoln, Wra.

J. Bryan, in part, thus comments on Cleveland's speech at the Reform Club: Cleveland recognizes that the contest over the money ques tion, instead of being ended, is just beginning. He recognizes it as an irrepressible conflict and in this he reasons rightly. democratic party will in 1900 reiterate its demand for free and unlimited coinage at 16 to i and it will be opposed by those who at that time believe in a gold standard. This being as certain as anv future event can be, why should those affihate now who expect to engage in combat so soon hereafter? now have a harmonious democratic party and we have a bolting organization which claims to represent another kind of democracy.

Let them both exist and lime will determine which is fittest to survive. any bimetallist is converted to the gold standard he can join their organization; if any gold dem ocrat repents he can return to the told. much we may differ from Mr. Cleveland, we must admit his courage. A less resolute man would hesitate to assume the leadership of a little band of 130,000, many of whom voted the Indianap olis ticket by mistake, and then ac cuse 6,500,000 voters of being either designing agitators or tne dupes of designing agitators.

man of less self-reliance would re examine his own conduct to see whether it was his folly or theirs which separated him from 5,000,000 democrats who once idolized him, bat in the lexicon of Mr. Cleveland's maturer years there is no such word as GOLD BRICKS.

The covering had rotted' away. Many people have seen the bricks since they were found and say they are a mixture of copper and brass, with a thin covering of gold. Campbell refuses to believe it, and refuses to give them up at any price. He thinks they were buried there by Capt. Blackstop, who was reputed to have buried wealth in his lifetime.

In many of the choiis today singers of music" were found who had no sympathy with the spirit of the song, and many of them not fit companiuns for young people. The church taught its members to avoid many evils, but in the choir was often to be seen those whose lives were contrary to the church's comman ts.

Their Combined Ages 15 Weight 2 5 Pounds. Mr.

and Mrs. J. M. Ram bo, who reside in Dresden and moved from Iowa to Pettis county only a few weeks ago, are the proud parents of two of the largest children, a boy and a girl, of their age in the United States. The oldest, a boy who is nine years old, weighs 118 pounds.

In order to sustain this weight, nature has kindly made him very wide pedal extremities by placing six toes on each foot. The boy's sister is only six years old but she weighs 117 pounds, or within a pound of the weight of her big brother. The children 5re of the usual height of children of their age, but spread out over a good deal of surface. The girl is so fat she can hardly walk, but the boy, who was in the city yesterday with his father, has no difficulty in covering ground as rapidly as the average boy. Several owners of museums have offered Mr, Rarabo a large weekly salary if he would place the children on exhibition, but, although a poor man, he has declined all of their flattering offers.

SAID TO BE A KITE. attached by Corter, who had been managing the thing from the ground as any boy does when flying his favorite kite. It was not an airship, by any means. It was a kite with balloon attachments. It looked more like a very large red mattress than anything else the surprised people could think of.

An investigation developed that it was 20 feet square and one foot in thickness, and that It was inflated. The sides were fastened together after the fashion of a baseball catcher's breast protector. The strange kite had steel ribs running in all directions, and by means of these it was rigged out with stiong cords, one-eighth of an inch thickness, very much like any other kite. By the peculiarity of the coa- struction of the thing it will, when skillfully managed, ascend from the earth in the same manner as a smaller kite, being inflated on very much the same principle as a hot air balloon it will remain at a high altitude until hauled down by the strong cord to which it is attached. The inventor has made several of these kites, and by way of experiment has cut them loose after they had made a successful ascent.

They were all supplied with railroad men's lanterns of different colors and these are the multi colored lights that caused so much amazement to the people who thought they saw an air ship. When cut the kites will soar off through space in the same manner as a balloon, but as the gas does not escape they do not descend so readily. They wilt travel for hundreds of miles. NOT DISMAYED.

John Corter, a telegraph operator in the employ of the St. Joseph and Grand Island Railroad is, according to a story told by Police Officer C. S. Scott and a number of residents in the southern part of the city, the man who is responsible for the strange sights seen in the heavens during the last few weeks. The discovery of the bogus airship was made by mere accident yesterday afternoon, when Officer Scott was patroling his beat as usual in that part of the city known as South park.

About 4 o'clock in the afternoon he happened to look heavenward and beheld what numbers of other persons had seen beforc--tbe airship. The object in midair moved back and forth in the manner ascribed to the airship which has been seen so frequently. Presently the descended. The policeman then began an investigation. He went to the place where it struck terra firma and found to his surprise that it had been made to descend, not of its own accord, but by the winding up of the string to which it had been ondon April The latest advices from the east indicate that the central armies remain in the positions held Turks at Tirnavo and Larissa and the Greeks at Pharsalia.

It is announced that the Greek government has tl that if the army is defeated Hi the engagement expected at Pnarsalia, it shall fall back to historic Thermopylae and there make a last stand. Mavromichaeiis has succeeded Macris as general in command of a division of the Greek army. Admiral Kanaris has been appointed to the command of the eastern squadron. The admiral succeeds Prince George in command. It was reported that Constantine would be recalled, but official Athens advices state that the report is It is probable, however, that both Constantine and Prince Nicholas vill be removed from command.

The staff has been dismissed. General Smolenitz has been ordered to form a new one. Colonel has left Arta again to attempt to take Janina. Another Greek force is advancing upon Pre- which is under fire from the Greek ships. Bombardment of the city of lonika probably will open soon.

Foreign sailed yesterday from to protect European residents of Salonika. The Tuiks now at Larissa may move upon Volo, to which city many residents of Tirnavo and Larissa fled. It is rumored that Prince Constantine, too, fled to Volo, but the rumor had its origin in the Turkish camp. The Greek retreat from Larissa has been proved to be a flight. Edhem Pasha, the report of whose death was incorrect, expected to strike a decisive blow at Larissa, but the Greeks were warned by a priest, who heard the Albanians singing.

Constantine's array fled, leaving stores, guns and ammunition. The house of commons met yesterday after the Easter recess. The goveinment announced its desire to act as mediator in the war. Greece, however, it has been semi officially announced, will not accept intervention. Negotiations, it is said, will be conducted directly with Turkey.
