for 50 lectures, but the contract as drawn
provided that he should receive $10,000 for
the first 10 lectures, and for the remain-
ing ones the arrangement was that, after
taking out $1000 fqr the lecturer, the ex-
penses and $300 for the manager, the re-
mainder was to be divided between Mr.
Bryan and Mr. McBee. If it had turned
out well there would ha ve been a good deal
of money in it for both of them. It was
my idea to bring him out at St. Louis, Chi-
cago, Cleveland, Buffalo and so on in the
large cities, where I believed that large
audiences would be drawn out of curiosity.
But Mr. McBee thought it would be a good
thing to open up in Atlanta, and that pro-
gram was decided on. One of his ideas,
I suppose, was to boom his railroad.
“Well, the thing was boomed for three
weeks. The city was extensively billed.
Capt. Evan P. Howell of the Atlanta Con-
stitution did everything in his power to
help on the cause. Special rates were made
on all the railroads for a hundred miles
around. But the people were too poor
and there were not enough of them. The
hall secured was a very large one,. seating
3500 or 4000. people, but an audience of not
more than 2500 was got together. Then the
lecture was not a success in itself. For
one thing, Bryan’s voice was not in good
shape. He had made 600 speeches in the
campaign and his voice had not recuper-
ated, as was expected. For another thing,
it appears that when you take him on any
other subject than money and .politics, he
is no good.
“Now, I want to tell you something
about him that shows what a noble char-
acter he possesses. At the close of the lec-
ture Mr. McBee offered him a certified
check for $10,000 to cover the first 10 lec-
tures. He refused to take it, and would
only accept $1000 for the first one. He was
entitled to be paid in advance, and I don’t
think many men would have declined to
take the money under such circumstances.
But Bryan did, although he is a poor man.
As far as Atlanta was concerned, we just
about cleared expenses.”

The Nebraskan Magnanimous to His Man-

New York Tribune.
John J. Roche, who is engaged in the
jewelry business in this city and well
known among the members of that trade,
is the man who originated the idea of en-
gaging William J. Bryan to deliver 50
lectures for $50,000. He makes his head-
quarters at the Hoffman house. When met
in an office down town a day or two ago
he was found willing to talk about the
Bryan’ fiasco, and disclosed a number of
facts regarding the contract with the late
Populilstic candidate for the presidency,
which have not before been made public.
The whole truth about the affair, he said,
had not been told, all of the published
accounts being more or less incorrect. The
story which follows is given substantially
in Mr. Roche’s own words.
“As soon as the news of Bryan’s defeat
came in,” said Mr. Roche, “it occurred
to me that it would be a good plan to put
him in the lecture field. I broached the
subject to E. V. McBee of Atlanta, the
president of the Seaboard Air Line rail-
road, and he fell in with the plan at once.
The next morning after the election a dis-
patch was sent to Mr. Bryan in Mr. Mc-
Bee’s name, offering him $50,000 for deliver-
ing 50 lectures. He was asked if he
would entertain a proposition to go on the
platform, and it was expressly stated in
the dispatch that it was a business propo-
sition without any sentiment in it. It
seemed to me that just after his defeat
such a matter would at least receive con-
sideration in his family circle.
“It was three days before the answer
came, and in the meantime Mr. McBee had
gone back to Atlanta. Mr. Bryan told him
to send on his agent. I went first to At-
lanta and arranged the matter with Mr.
McBee, and then went on to Lincoln and
conducted the negotiations with Mr. Bryan.
And I want to say that I found him to be
a lovely character, with a charming fam-
ily. Mrs. Bryan is a refined, well educated
and most intelligent woman, and her chil-
dren are all one could ask them tb be. I
had an exceedingly pleasant time with the
family while in Lincoln. Mr. Bryan is an
agreeable man in conversation, and there
is nothing of the anarchistic spirit in him,
so far as I could see.

WOMEN ON THE STAGE.
According to Fanny Davenport, who has
made extensive researches on the subject,
women first appeared in dramatic per-
formances in 1640. Desdemona was played
by a woman Dec. 6 of t-hat year, but it
is not known whether the women was
Anne Marshall or Margaret Hughes.
Pepys mentions other women in the cast
of “Beggar’s Bush,” in the following year.
Their first appearance was received with
disfavor, and by writers of the time the
first actresses were styled unwomanish
and graceless, not meaning them to be un-
gainly or unfeminine, but that play acting
was below their dignity and unbecoming
women born in an era of grace. “Glad am
I to say,” remarked Thomas Brand, speak-
ing of these actresses, “that they were
hissed, hooted and pippin pelted from the
stage, so that I do not think they will be
soon ready to try the same again.”

LOUIS MARX,
Washington, D. ., Jan. 21.—Baron Fava,
the Italian ambassador, was among Secre-
tary Olney’s callers today at the state de-
partment, to the surprise, of officials, who
supposed the ambassador sailed for Eu-
rope last week. As a matter of fact, while
he secured a leave of absence from this
government, with permission-to return to
Italy with the remains of his son, he has
been prevented by an unexpected pressure
of business. Hence, he came to Washing-
ton from New York and has taken up his
quarters for the time at the Metropolitan.
This being diplomatic day, Secretary
Olney had an unusually large number of
callers, among them being ministers of
Spain, Russia, Japan, Venezuela, Chile
and the Greater Republic of Central
America.
Ladies belonging to the society for the
aid of homeless children are requested to
meet at the home, corner of 37th and R, on
Friday, at 3 p. m.
Arthur Aurich, formerly a representa-
tive of Kaufman & Runge and later on the
commercial tourist of Gus Heye & Co.,
died at La Grange on Sunday last.
The Ladies’ aid society of the First Pres-
byterian church will resume their cake
sale in their parlors on Saturday, the 23d,
from 2 o’clock to 6 in the afternoon.
The sidewalk at the site of the new
building on Postoffice street between 22d
and 23d streets, is in a very dangerous
condition for pedestrians, especially at
night.
The German ladies’ benevolent, associa-
tion has invited Hon. A. J. Rosenthal to
deliver the address at their twenty-fifth
anniversary, to take place on Feb. 5 at
Harmony hall.
The marriage of William J. Steinbrink
and Margaret Leona Schwelm took place
last night at the residence of the bride’s
parents on 32d between Winnie and H,
Rev. Father Lee officiating.
Central Christian church, corner of 20th
and K. Dr. J. W. Lowber will preach next
Sunday morning on “The Weeping Proph-
et.” At night he will deliver a social re-
form lecture on “Lessons from the Life
of Burns.”
The union service of the joint young peo-
ple’s societies will be held tomorrow eve-
ning (22d instant) at 8 o’clock in the First
Presbyterian church. A good missionary
program, led by Mr. J. R. Davies, has
been provided, and a pleasant and profit-
able evening is anticipated.
PROMINENT WOMEN.
Plucheria, empress of the eastern em-
pire, was the first woman to have her face
pictured on a coin.
The lady manager of a California insur-
ance company is credited with the largest
1 salary paid to any woman—$10,000 a year.
Queen Victoria’s favorite flower is the
rose, but she has a bed of pinks at Os-
borne, near which she likes to drink tea.
In. the accounts of the entertainments
given by Mme. Marchesi’s pupils in Paris
praise is given “Mlle. Francisca of San
Francisco,” wh® is said to have exhibited
“exceptional talent.”
Among the most interesting of the New
Year’s gatherings in Worcester, Mass.,
was the meeting of five sisters, who never
were all together in their lives. Their
presence was a surprise to their brother,
whose wife brought it all about as a most
delightful way of qelebrating the 32d anni-
versary of her own wedding. The oldest
of the sisters is 67 years of age, and she
left home before the youngest, who is now
45, was born.
The Gentlewoman says that almost all
the morning dresses worn by the German
empress are made at home, and her majes-
ty in this way is able to economize greatly.
When in private she likes to be dressed as
simply as possible, and her favorite cos-
tume is a serge skirt with a pretty blouse
and a simple straw hat. She has, how-
i ever, one great trial, and that is a tend-
ency to grow stout. For herself she would
not mind, but the emperor has a horror of
having a fat wife, and the poor empress is
obliged to diet herself and to wear clothes
much too tight for her.
MORE OR LESS FRIVOLOUS.
Charlie (aged 6, on hearing ^ong by cele-
brated bass); “Father, did he make all
that noise on purpose?” Tit-Bits.
She: “It seems almost impossible that
you should love me.” He: “That’s what
my mother says. How nicely you and she
will get along if you always agree like
that.”—Harlem Life.
Fashionable Doctor: “John, try to find
out from Baroness Landrath’s servants
what summer resort she would like to go
to next summer, so I may know what to
prescribe for her.”—Fliegende Blatter.
Geongie: “I heard mother tell father the
other day she’d found out where the shoe
pinched. I wonder what she meant.”
Dickie; “I dunno but if she’d said she’d
found out where the slipper stung I’d have
knowed.”—London Figaro.
Intuition—She started affrightedly from
her slumber. “There’s a man in the house.”
she cried. “Impossible.” “Then it’s a very
advanced woman.” That was to say, her
intuition could not be wholly at fault.—
Detroit Journal.
The Humanly Feminine—“Yes,” ex-
claimed the elephant bitterly, “they have
gone and educated my wife to almost hu-
man intelligence, and now she doesn’t
know how to get along with one trunk any
more.”—Detroit Journal.

Des Moines, la., Jan. 21.—The German
savings bank of this city has assigned to
H. T. Blackburn. The bank’s capital was
$75,000; assets $611,000; undivided profits
$11,000; deposits $540,000. The bank sus-
pended payment after having opened this
morning- with only $5000 ^on hand. Very
little money came in, and when William
Musson presented a check for $1000 there
was not enough to pay it, so the bank
closed its doors. Depositors will be paid
in full, but the capital stock will be wipeu
out entirely and an assessment will be
made. The failure was caused by inabil-
ity to collect from borrowers, most or
whom are small traders and merchants.
No other banks here are affected.

Cotton Advanced in the Morning, But the
Market Broke.
The cotton market continued to behave
nicely this morning. Liverpool advanced
spots l-32d, putting the price up to four
pence, and sold 12,000 bales. Futures ad-
vanced 2 to 2%. points, and closed steady.
New York futures, after opening firm
and 3 points up, went 3 higher on the favor-
able cables. New Orleans and Liverpool
buying, and lighter receipts. The port
receipts were 2600 bales under the "same
day last week, and 3500 under the same day
a year ago. A private telegram from New
York said: “It will require larger re-
ceipts to check this advance.” A Galves-
ton operator, nevertheless, predicted a
break, and he backed up his prediction by
putting out heavy selling orders. The
break came in the afternoon, when prices
returned to about yesterday’s figures, and
closed quiet, but steady, at the decline.
A private telegram from New Orleans
explains the reaction thus: “New York
declined on selling by Siedenberg, sup-
posed to be for McFadden.”
Tomorrow New Orleans expects to re-
ceive 7000 to. 7500 bales, as against 5059 on
the same day a year ago.

SOME LATE THINGS.
A new lead pencil has the lead small
enough to move freely inside the wood
and a small clutch near the sharp end to
move the lead forward to the opening in
the point, thus permitting new lead to be
inserted in it when desired.
A newly patented device for raising
sunken vessels consists of a caisson de-
signed to be sunk and fastened to the ship,
after which air is pumped into the caisson,
forcing the water out and raising the
wreck by buoyancy of the air.
A Russian has designed a coffin which is
connected with the surface of the ground
after burial by a pipe, in which is a rod
connected with a signal device, the least
motion of the body raising a flag in posi-
tion by touching off a spring.
To light bicycle lamps by electricity a
new device has an armature run by a
shaft resting on the bicyclAJire, thus gen-
erating its own light. It is-controlled by a
governor so that the speed; of the wheel
does not increase the light atiove a certain
point.
To prevent trains and troffey cars from
running into a draw bridge opening, a
Michigan man has a device which auto-
matically raises a secticm of; the track to
the right height to engage tffe wheel of the
car, thus preventing further progress.
A new bicycle ball bearing has two sets
of balls in each side of the hub, a rotating
ring being placed between them and act-
ing as a cone and cup’for the outer and
inner sets of balls respectively, the hub
and shaft forming the remaining cones
and cups in the usual ipanner.
A new bicycle propelling device has the
pedals placed in levers Which engage the
usual sprocket wheel by clutches, the
downward motion of the pedal lever en-
gaging the sprocket wlreel and turning it
around a short distance, When the pedal
returns and the opposite ^ne is forced
down.
Automatic whistles for railroad locomo-
tives consist of a lever connected with the
whistle, one end running down beside the
track to engage a series of blocks or rails.
As the locomotive aproaches a crossing
the lever comes in contact with these
blocks, thus giving the desired signal.
Street cars can be ventilated by means
of a new device consisting of a rotary fan
run by the motion of the car, placed in the
car roof and connected with an exhaust
fan placed in the end of a pipe running to
the interior of the car. the intention being
to exhaust the foul air in the upper part
of the car so that pure air can enter from
