Cordial Greetings Everywhere For the
Democratic Candidate.
HIS TRIP THROUGH PENNSYLVANIA
At Philadelphia, Despite the Announcement
That the Dates Would he Kept
Closed, a Large and Enthusi
astic Crowd Greeted Him.
New Yortis, Aug. 13. Wlllmm Jonnlngs
Bryan stepped upon tho soil of tho Empire
state hist night fur tho llrst tlmo sinco his
nomination for tho presidency by the
Democratic national convention at Chi
cago. It was an event in his career and In
tha general canvass for tho prosldoncy ol
no small moment. It win practically n
stop Into tho avowoil section of opposition
to his candidacy, an opposition not alone
on party li4as, but said to exist within
tho party uudar whoso omblcin ho looks
for victory In Novombor.
If howovor, tho ordonl was ono that
would malto nervous tho average man Its
effect upon Mr. Bryan was not, to tho ob
server, of that chnraoter. When Mr.
Bryan stepped from tho train and grasped
tho hand of Senator Jouos, chairman of
tho Democratic national commltteo, hie
grootlug showed not ono lota of norvous
nas4 or fear, but olthor a tlngo of bravery
In facing tho ordeal or a gladness at being
among thoso with whom ho could discuss
and arguo tho great Issues of tho cam
paign. Tho crowd that gathered nt tlA)
Jersoy City station of tho Pennsylvania
railroad to greet tho Bryan party wus not
as largo as had becu expected, a thousand
pooplo In all, probably, paying thoir way
to tho ferry houso in ordor to seo tho ro
doubtublo orator from tho west.
But It was a crowd that mado tho fifty
Jersey City policemen display every bit of
their ability In subduing, and which was
enthusiastic to the coro. It was a crowd
that wus quite as cosmopolitan In Its nu
turo as It was ovldontly Boinocratlo In its
proclivltios and sympathies. Tho major
ity of tho mon stood with their coats off
to rollovo thoinsolves of tho terrific heat.
Thero wcro u fow women In tho crowd,
and some mothers brought their children
to look upon tho fuco of a posslblo presi
dent of tho Unllod States.
When Mrs. Bryan alighted Mr. Tomlln
son, naUonal committeeman from Indiana,
took her In ohargo and hurried hor along
tho private passagoway which tho polico
luul laid out for tho party to pass through.
Sho was hardly noticed by tho crowd and
took tho first boat out of tho slip, while
her husband and tho remainder of tho
juirty followod behind tho struggling po
lico to a second boat To go a distance of
less than n hundred feet It took tho party
somo fifteen minutes or moro. Tho police
threatened with their batons nnd hustled
and jostled pooplo to clear a passagoway.
Tho mob wos good natured, but Insistent,
nnd demanded that Mr. Bryan should
speak. Ho smiled and shook his head in
refusal, and then tho crowd called for
So wall.
Finally tho polico mado a way, and tho
party reached tho boat Thoy wont up
stairs Into tho pilot's cabin, whllo at least
two thirds of tho great crowd surgod In
upon tho lower deck, and as tho boat piled
Its way to tho Desbrosscs street slip kept
shouting their approval of tho candldato
and his principles.
Whon tho boat reached tho dock In Now
York Captain Cross, with a cordon of
polico, held tho crowd aboard tho boat for
n few minutes whllo Mr. Bryan, Mr.
Sowall, Chairman Jones nnd Mr. St John
entered a carrlago In waiting. Whon they
got outstdo tho gates thoy found at loast
600 moro people waiting, and although tho
polico mado diligent effort to allow tho
currlago to proceed it wus stopped sovoral
times.
At Mr. St. John's housolu Thirty-fourth
street thero was another gathering of citi
zens, who npplaudod vociferously. Neither
Mr. nor Mrs. Bryan showed much fatigue
after their long jouruoy. Mr. Bryan wore
a black alpocca coat and a sllvor colored
alplno hat Mrs. Bryan woro a dark green
traveling dress and a black hat with
flowor trimmings. Mrs. Bryan Is qulto
worrlod over tho loss of hor ongogomoiit
ring during hor stay In Pittsburg. It was
glvon to hor by Mr. Bryan whon ho won
hor In 1891.
At Mr. St John's houso visitors wcro
gtoppod at tho door by policemon and no
body was allowed to soo tho candldato
until 10 o'clock, when ho simply told tho
nowspapor men how ho would deliver his
siwocli. It Will bo road from mnmihcrlpt
Mr. Bryan has tho speech memorized,
but Is anxious that moro attention
should lw paid to Its contents than to tho
manner of Its doltvery. After tho meeting
at tho Cardon ho will spoak from tho bal
cony of tho Bartholdl. Mr. and Mrs. Bland,
Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Stone, of Missouri,
will occupy a box nt tho Madison Square
meeting.
At 11 o'clock todoy Mr. Bryan and his
wlfo hold a reception on tho Fifth avenue
stoop of tho Windsor hotel and received
tho people, but did not shako hands with
them, his arm and hand being tlrod and
sore, Thero was a monster crowd prosont,
and ho wus finally obligod to boat n ro
trout At 4 o'clock this afternoon Mrs. Ii.
V. Bland and Mrs. Bryan will recolvo tho
women of Now York at tho Bartholdl.
Tho candidate's, trip from Pittsburg to
this city was a continuation of tho ovation
that awaited him at ovory station betweou
Chicago and Pittsburg, with thooxcoptlon
that Mr. Bryan did no spccchmaklng.
Ills voloe had grown ro ho'urso by his re
peated efforts that speaking was an Im
possibility, and at several places along tho
routo whoro a spooch was called for Mr.
Bland did tho talking, whllo Bryan shook
hands with all who camo within roach.
At Altoona 0,000 pooplo wore on hand to
ceo and to greet tho nomlneo, and tha
crush botweon tho train and tho railroad
fence was frightful, but fortunately no
ono was hurt. Outstdo the fence tho streets
woro packod full of pooplo for a dlstanco
of two blocks.
Flvo thousand pooplo greeted Candidate
Bryan and party at Hurrlshurg. Tho
nomlneo stood on tho platform of an ordi
nary coach, and. durlmi the. wait of ton
minutes to chnngc cnglnos shook hailrta
with more than 3,000 peopfei. Ills wlfo win
with him and took a part in the hand
shaking. Repeated attempts were made
to induce Bryan to make a speech, but he
wus deaf to tho npleal of tho multitude.
Congressman Belthoover, of Cnrllslo, and
Will K. Meyers, of Hurrlshurg, went
through to Now York with tho party.
At Philadelphia!! largeand enthusiastic
crowd succeeded In forcing its way through
tho Pennuylvnulu railroad gates when tin
Bryan train rolled Intotho station on time
atop, m. Tho regulations of the railroad
company pcrinltsouly those having tlcketl
to pass through tho gates, but the crow 4
of Bryan entfinntnsta becamo so groat that
tho officials ordorod that a fow hundred
bo admitted to tho train platform, In order
to rollovo the congested condition in the
station. Both Mr, and Mrs. Bryan ap
peared on tho roar platform of tho car nnd
shook hands with all who could come
within roach. No speeches woro madu.
Several handsomo bouquots of roses were
prosontod to Mrs. Bryan. A number ol
Philadelphia Domoerats romnlnod on the
train and escortod Mr. Bryan and his party
ns far as 'fronton.
Thero was no stop botweon Philadelphia
and Trenton. A crowd of about 100 gath
orcd on tho platform and cheorod lustily
as tho train camo to a stop In tho station.
A great crowd was prevented from greet
ing tho candldato by tho failure of tho
railroad officials to opon tho gatos loading
to tho train platform. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan
shook hands with all who could got near
thorn In tho limited tlmo, nnd after a stop
of 6no minute tho train procoodod. Just
as tho train was pulllug out Mrs. Bryan
throw n big bouquot of rosos Into tho
crowd. This was eagerly pulled to ploces
by man anxious to obtain a souvenir of
tho occasion.

NEW BUILDING VILL NOT BE READY
The Contractors Expect to Complete It by
the Latter Fart of September, But It
Will Hardly be Occupied Before
the Middle of October.
It is not pleasant to contemplate, in tho
midst of tho present sizzling season, tlmt tho
vacation days nro rapidly drawing to a close
and tlint work must soon reccivo attention In
spite of tho condition of the thermometer.
Such is tho lot of tho school teachers and
pupils of the public schools. They aro now
scattered in various parts of the country, some
strolling ou tho sands, or dipping in
ttio waters of tho Atlantic const, others
seeking recreation and pleasure on farms, or
nt mountain resorts that nffurd a change in
contrast with tho coal fields, hut In leas than
two weeks their presence will lie required in
the school rooms nnd tho delights of the
present hours will exist only in memory.
Tho public schools will ro-open on
tho 2-lth Inst, and everything is In
readiness for tho occasion, witli the
exception of tho new White btreet school
building. All tho teachers aro elected and
tho 6chool supplies needed for tho term have
been received. Tho work of sorting tlioso
supplies has been going on fur somo time and
will bo completed several days before tho
dato fixed fur tho opening of the schools.
Tho contractors of tho new White street
school building say tho plasterers will be
gin work to-morrow and they expect to
have tho structure entirely completed by tho
29th of September. It is not likely that it
will ho ready for occupancy before thomlddlo
of October. In view of this delay tho
School Board will retain possession of tho
Primitive Methodist church Imsemont on
month to month agreement, ns the plnco will
bo required to meet tho expected enrollment
nt tho beginning of tho term.
There is no dato for a regular meeting of
the School Board between tho present timo
ami the 21th inst, but tho Board will un
douhtedly hold a special meeting in tho
mcantiinotoarrango for the final preliminaries
to tho opening of tho schools. At the Inst
meeting tho Board left all minor promotions
in tho corps of teachers to the discretion of
tho superintendent, but as Superintendent
Bogart has been engaged for several days
in making arrangements fur tho removal
of his family to town, ho has not been able
to give the promotions attention. They will
ho looked after in duo time, however. Super.
intendent Bogart has given ample notice fur
the examination of night school applicants.

that they will tako place cm tho 18th Inst
The recommendations will doubtless bo made
at tho regular meeting of tho School Hoard
