BRYAN ON SULLY’S FAILURE| THE DEAN OF HOTEL MEN. Sarees ae | | DR. H. M. CANNON, The Nebraskan Suggests that Gambliig in Stocks Should Be Prohibited. Lincoln, Neb., April 2.—W. J. Bryan in The Commoner dis- cusses the co'lapse of Daniel J. Sully, the cotton king, and suggeste in conclusion that gambling in stocks and farm products should be prohib- ited by law. Bryan says: “The failure of ‘Cotton King’ Dan fel J. Sully turnishes anotber illustra- tion of the uncertainty that hedges about a spe-ulative career. Mr. Sul- ly was more than usually successful, phenominally so, in fact. He was the most successful cotton operatorin the world and was supposed to have made a large amount of money—but all at once he suspends. If he, with his wide knowledge of the subject and his power to influence the markets, could not succeed, how can the curb etone brokers and penny speculators hope to win? The story of Sully’s spectacular career has lured thous- ands and ten thousands into gam bling in cotton futures. Will his failure be a warning 'o as many? It is a sad commentary on Ameri- can morals that it is necessary to make against gambling the argu ment that it does not pay. That it is not right should be asutticient rea- son and will be when men learn that character and manhood sre of more value than money and the real suc- cess is measured by one’s contribu tion to the welfare of the world rather than by the amount of the world’s wealth that he absorbs, Would it not be well to prohibit gambling in stocks aud farm prod ucts?” Mrs. Prentis Would Show Handsome Girls of Kansas. Topeka, Kas., April 3.—Mra. Noble L. Prentis, who is to be hostess of the Kansas building at the World’+ Fair, said to-night: “Kansas har yone to a great deal of trouble and expense to make’ a display of live stock, agricultureand other producte at the world’s fair, but nothing har een done to show off our handsome girls. Ihavea suggestion to make to the state commission, which 1] hope will be adopted. It is to have a sinall sum appropriated to fit uy quarters in the Kansas building for half a dozen girls. “1 need help inentertaining visitors at the building, and 1 want to pick out half a dozen Kansas girls every two weeks during the fair to act ar my assistants. If the commission will help me out in this matter I will contract to show the people who visit the Kansas building the most handsome and accomplished collec tion of young women they ever saw.” She Annoyed the Minister. Chicago, April 1.—Miss Esther Moline, a pretty girl, was in the in sane court to-day charged with an noying the Rev. Robert Benedict of St Luke’s church, evanston, with her attentions. According to hie testimony, she not only attended every service, but insisted upon speaking to him on every possible occasion. She repeatedly wrote to him and called at his house. She refused to believe that he was not married. In church one day she said, according to his testimony: ‘Take me to your heart.” He had to deny her admittance to his house and refused to speak to her in church. Her parents promised the court to place her in an institu tion. Are Hungry For Dog Meat. St. Louis, April 2—When the members of the Igorrote and other gavage tribes of the Philippine is- lands arrived at the World’s Fair several days ago, they speedily devel- oped pneumonia and gave those in attendance much worry. Now they are recovering from pneumonia and daily as o portion of their bill havethey tasted roast or boileddog, - and a formal demand for theitfavor- itetood was lodged with M. R. Healy, who looks after their comfort. Mr. Healy applied to the city authorities demand that dogs be served them ‘From Dozens of Hostelries This Veteran Has Dispensed Hospitality. “Jim Breslin has opened a new hotel.” That was the announcement that caused more interest among hotel men all over the country last week than any other. The veteran boniface has held out the glad hand in fifteen different hostelries up to date, and is only waiting for the builders to complete a modern struc ture on the site of the famous old Sturtevant house to open stillanoth- er one there. It is somewhat bewildering to at- tempt to trace the career of Mr. Bres- lin back to its beginnings. So many tall stories of Jim Bres- lin’s career as a champion long dis- tance host had been told that it was with some skepticism that areporter wentinto the Hotel Wolcott, in Thir ty first street near Fifth avenue, which is the latest Breslin property. As a venture the seeker alter news approached a man who seemed to feel at home in the lobby. Theguest was advanced in years, but robust and hearty. “How long have I known Jim Breslin?” herepeated. ‘Well, Ishould say something under forty years. I lived in the old St. James and in the St. Nicholas when he owned them, and when he went to the Gilsey I moved my trunk over thereand stay- ed thirty years, He opened here on Tuesday, and I moved over two days later.” The clerk confessed to eleven years and the carriage agent at the door remembered that he had seen Mr, Breslin around the Fifth Avenue hatel as far back as 1865, and they had often worked under the same roof since then, A small man with a sturdy stride came out of the reception room, and us he walked through the crowded lobby there was a bombardment of “Hello Jim’s” that left no doubt as to his identity. But he wouldn’t talk about himself. He tugged ner- vously at his steel gray goatee and hazarded a guess that he was as old as some in the hotel line. “For the young fellows just start ing out in the business, several essen- tials to success might be mentioned,” he said, ‘ “Work. “Don’t grow old. “Keep good-natured. “Don’t forget names and faces. ‘ Stick to honest dealing. “Remember that cleanliness is next to godliness. “Keep pace with the times, if you can’t keep a little ahead of them. “Keep your old employees around yu, so that when old friends enter your door they will feel as if they were getting back home.” The Rights of a Halfblood. St. Louis, April 2—A decision handed down in the United States court of appeals to-day considers the rights in law of children in full and halfblooded relationship. The case was appealed from Indian territory and contemplated the partition of a tract of land between the children of Dennis Abner, his heirs under his will, and George W. Finley and oth- ers, uncles and cousins of Abner’s children. The point at law was the conten- tion of the uncles and cousins that Joseph Abner, the son of Abner by his second wife, was only a child bya halfblood and they had a right to participate in his inheritance. The decision to-day sustains the decision has the full rights of a fullblood son are-not-equal heirs with him.

Ogleby, the only manever elected three times governor of Illi- nois, has surprised h's friends by tak ing @ position as locomotive fireman on the Chicago & Alton railway. The young man recently received his share of an extensive estate left by his father. He is known in fashion. able circles throughout Central Illi- nois, and is sa‘d to be engaged to a society girl of this city. Notwithstanding his wealth and social position Mr. Oglesby develop- ed a fondness for machinery, and de- cided to become a locomotive en- gineer. Several months ago he filed applications for a position as fire- man with the Wabash and Chicago & Alton roads. The Alton application was taken up first, and for the last two weeks the young man has been a “student” on the various runs. His trips have been between Bloomington and St. Louis, Part of the time he has been firing the engines on the fast Prairie State express, and at other times he has been on one of the 175-ton en- gines on the night runs. It is believ- ed that he will be placed on theextra list and receive steady employment within a few days.
