The regular semi annual meeting of the First Church of Christ. Scientist, the mother church of Christlon Science, In this city, was held last night. BRYAN PLEASED WITH NEBRASKA WAS INTERESTED IN GOEBEL He Receives the Congratulations of His Pricnis in His Assured Re 3ominatioi Xeit Tear. CHICAGO, Nor. t A special to the Times-Herald from Lincoln, Nebraska say: At the Bryan house last night the telephone kept up a constant clamor with reports from the populist head quarters down town. The first bulle tin from the tetegiupb company de livered while the .family were still at dinner came from the town of Crete, normally republican by lot, but which this year given fusion 78 majority. "A good omen," said Bryan. "Don't forget that I spoke In Crete," said Chairman Charie A. Tcmme of the sliver repubitcitn party. After re turning from Omaha at noon, Bryan gave up the day to driving, walking about his farm and chatting mow on political prospects In other states than upon the outlook in Nebraska. The first bulletin which se-med to arouse Colonel Bryan's enthusiasm was one from Louisville declaring that Goebel had carried the city by 2,000. It was quickly contradicted by later returns, but the pleasure with which Bryan hailed the erroneous report showed how sincere was his Interest In the regular nominee. The disappointment caused by the later unfavorable news from Ken tucky was to a grat degree offset by bulletins which reporW ipvat dem ocratic gains In Ohio and in Massa chusetts. Chairman McNary of the state committee In the latter state wired Colonel Bryan that Paine, dem ocrat, had carried Boston by 7,500, while McKinley carried It by 18,000. That shows where the gold demo crats have been," said Towne. By 9:30 Colonel Bryan was sufficiently assured of success In his state to send out an answer to Innumerable lnqulrl.-s from papers and politician friends. By 10:30 o'clock It became apparent that the funkmluts had carried Ne braska. Even Llnoln, which time and again has dealt Bryan the severest blows, elected three nominees on the ccunty ticket, and Douglas county, In cluding Omaha, deserted the repub licans for the first time In Its history. Colonel Bryan made no "attempt to conceal his pleasure. "It was an election fought on na tional Issues and the result Is an en dorsement of our principles," he said to Senator Blackburn, and to James K, Jones he wired the news, putting the Indicated fusion majority at 15,000. The dispatches were hardly off before later bulletins led him to raise his estimate to 20,000. Governor Poynter, In the executive mansion, kept the telephone wire hot with exultant messages, and as the night wore on, the member of the state committee flocked to the Bryan home with congratulations.

Russian authorities, alive to the ne cessity of keeping out the. ptagu;, have resorted to this way of preventing rats from boarding ships, which la describ ed by Consul IWnan of Odesra: "I saw the other day a rurious device attached to the mooring rope or cuble of a steamer which was loading at this port. The cable was run through a piece of iron pipe ibut a foot long, and Welded on the end of the pipe was a large Hang? or funnel which looked like the end of a trumpt, with the wide end facing the ship. The Iron pipe was stuffed with oakum, to pre vent it from slipping, and also to pre vent rats from passing through It. This novel construction was close to the ship. "On Inquiring what purpose this de vice served, I was Informed that the Russian authiriiis furnished these ap pliance, and obliged all ships to use them whenever they came from a port Infected with the plague, to prevent the rats on the ship rom coming on shore. It Is conceded gfnerully that the plague has be-n carried and spread by rats which have left the ships corn ing from lnf?;?j?d ports, ft is known that rats make us of the cable to come ahor, and this Iron pipe with Its funnel shupil arrangement was employed to prevent such visits, if p' slble. Thes devices are attached to each cable to which the ship Is moored. In addition to this precaution the mas ter of the ship Is obliged to take down his loading stages every night and erect, them the following morning, to prevent the rats from coming on shore In the night."
