BRYAN IN LAKELAND. brought out the large audience which filled the Auditorium to hear the lecture of William Jennings Pryan. And those present who went to hear the wise words of a man rich i thought and ripe in experience were well repaid, while others who had in view the violent oratorital gyrations and gesticulations of a stump speaker foaming at the mouth with sonorous declamation and who measure the success of a speech by the volume of sound were doubtless disappointed. Mr. Bryan was the lecturer last night, not the partisan political ora- tor; mind in repose, with those tremen- dous fighting powers which have made him a world figure quiescent, for the time as he ambled easily along through phrases familiar to him by frequent repetition, giving vs the cheering message that the world was growing better and the outlook for the human race bright- | ening all the time. When this famous man talks in public many people go to hear him chiefly to study the man himself, Fis voice, his expression, manner- isms, the things that go to make up personality; to quicken their imag tations with the stimulating thought that the man they are lig- tening has had the velous political carcer of any fean ol his slrecs canm low «i Bl to most mar- day, and throuch all the of mil storm three mishty of hi <Nt to put him in the in the et with the ealm diznicy, lien ion fei- oflice world, has unry and staivart o the man who is truly Nr. no undue never FANLS NOT roars nor secks mere mere- tricious rhetorical effeet prince of he has something to say worth listening to, 8ays it in lancuage of limpid elear- ness in hell-like toneg, without elo- cutionary tri or devices of any kind, never ti you by necdless rep- etitions nor exasperates yon by over- elaboration of arsuments, and when be is throuch he has the rare good sense to stop rizht then and let his audience po.

That State reform schooi at Marianpa is coming in for some very severe criticisms, and as it is a matter of immense importance to th: people of Florida that this schoos should be in the highest state of ef- ficiency, we quote this strong sug- gestion from Mr. Fagg in a letter to the Jacksonville Metropolis which will give our next Legislature some thing to think about; “Let us first properly equip our State reform school at Marianna Change its name to State Industrial School for Boys and Girls, build en tirely separate buildings for both! sexes, get the best teachers we can get, and change this school from a juvenile penitentiary to a citizen- making institution as it should be.” 0 General G. W. Custis Lee, who died in Virginia Tuesday, was the eldest scn of General Robert E. Lee and he was a striking illustration of the! iiy transmitted from father to son.

A Touching Coincidence. “Once, on a freight train, the con- ductor said to the brakeman: “ “There’s a tramp stealing a rlrh; on that forward boxcar.
