TRIP AROUND THE WORLD IN DETAIL l.reat American Will Write nf the t nnntry Taking Front Plaee on the- stage of the Horlit. The Bee has pleasure In announcing that In Ita Issue of January 14 will art' tha first of a series of weekly letters from the pen of William Jennings Bryan, who In now making; a tour of the world. Mr. Bryan crossed the Pacific to Japan, stopping a dny at Honolulu en route, and hna already conrludod hl visit In Japan. Corea and China. He te now at the Philip pine Islands, whence his Itinerary will In elude India. Palestine. Egypt and the various countries of Europe. After crossing the Atlantic and spending a brief time at home he will sail again from Pan Francisco, making a special trip to Australia aud New Zealand. A better time for Mr. Bryan's tour, from lie standpoint of the reader, could not possibly have been chosen. Extraordinary change are In progress In pearly every section of the Old World. The oriental slumber of centuries Is broken; a new regime dominates the far east; the old Wea as to the relative strength and im portance of European and Asiatic nations has been rudely Jolted, and Caucasian con tempt for the Monrnllnn has Riven place to the respect which triumphant might never fulls to command. How are the new conditions to afreet the interests of the t'nlted Plates? How are they afre-ctlng the Japanese, ciiineMf- nnd Coreans? It will lie interesting, will 11 not, to have Mr. Krynn's leisurely taken observation an swering these (iiicstlons? atnrtv f the Philippines. It Is to lie hoped that the Inhabitants of the Philippine Islands are progressing rapidly toward civilized conditions and that American control means a glorious new birth of light audi liberty and self-control and Improved material prosperity for the teemlna mlHImm (Vnuiniv w..iUrrii .n- HiniiK on 111 ene- t Mllippinep. .Mr. Rryan Is making a careful study of the conditions and the record will be spread out In full for the benellt of The Bee's reader. Recent cable reports from the Philippines state that Mr. Bryan Is counsel lug Filipinos who are clamoring for Inde pendence to yield loyal obedience to the American government. Tho great empire of India Is also under going mighty changes. The leaven of west ern education and missionary effort Is breaking down barbarous customs. An rx traordlnory movement from Hindu! Sill tO Christianity hna lately become evident. Mr. ntyan will Investigate also the workings of the English colonial system there as compared with our own in the Philippines. The great Jewish Zionist movement con templates the reoccupatlon of Palestine by the Jews. Already many thousands of Jews Hre settled there. The awful alniighti-r In Russia has drawn the Jews of all coun tries closer topethci, ns witnessed by great demonstrations of sympathy Rnd the giving of Immense relief sums. All slfctis po'nt to an Increasing solidarity of this ancient and retiiiirkatile r.iir. which Is very sig nificant iu view .if the fact that many students of Biblical prophecy contend that the Jews ure to have again 11 national existence, with a capital at Jerusalem. In the light of these firts Mr. Bryan's letters from Palestine will have vastly more than the Interest ordinarily attaching to cone spondence fmnv the Holy Lnd. Egypt, too, as a result of many years' control by Great Britain, Is rapidly becom ing 0 modern country. Its progress nnd new conditions will, nt course, be graph ically deplete, by Mr. Bryan. Interest An a Ita In Kiirope. Krnni Egypt Mr. Bryan will go to Kurnpe. What tho conditions will be in Turkey and the Balkan states, in Russia, in Austrla Hungnry and in the countries of western Kuror when he gets there it Is Impossible to suy. Russia may be a republic, Poland may be Independent, the Austro-Hungarian empire may le dismembered; hut at all events there is certain to bo no lack of ma terial for letters of the most genuine Inter est.

I'oiiiuii, VI WUIU iccoroea the distinguished honors which all to Mr. Bryan's lot in foreign countries On his arrive! in Toklo ho was entertained by the leading statesmen of Japan and was received by the mikado. 1'ndoubtedly a similar experience awaits him In every cap ital ha shall visit. Mr. Bryan witnessed the great naval re view celebrating the new Anglo-Japanese alliance, and the monster reception given Admiral Togo at Toklo. The letters already In hand from Japan are literally as full of human Interest as an egg is full of meat: for be It remembered Mr. Bryan Is not only one of America's two foremost public men. but he Is also a news paper man whose keen faculties of observa tion Instinctively seixe on and record the details concerning men, women and chil dren, surroundings and events which ennie within the range of every reader's active Interest. A great deal has been written shout Japan: but see Japan and the Jap anese through Mr. Bryan's eyes and It will seem as though you are acquiring a most pleasant and never before reallied famil iarity with the Land of the P.lslng Sun. The article to appear January 14 Is the fruit of a single day's visit at Honolulu. From the early morning hour when, on de barking from tha steamship Manchuria he was received by an enthusiastic reception committee and decorated with garlands of A Big Business Bazar rTT Consider what you JLhave hero in the carefully-edited advertising pages of McClure's Maga zine a Market-Place of the World, in which each mer chant presents his wares himself.

PARROT RESISTS THE LAW Poll First Refuses to Vlelel to Re plevin In Hands of the t oimtnhle. "let out. I'm Hot going with you. I'm all light he-re," was the greeting the parrot gave the constable when he first put in an appearance at tho home of F. H. Joslyn to replevin a lot of goods. Later on the parrot was heard to admit, like his famous ancestor, that he had "talked too d n much," and he went with tin- man of law papers. The controversy between the parrot and the constable occurre-d because Albert 11. Btarkey, as special administrator of the estate of Rose Matilda Joslyn, sued out a writ of replevin for sjndry spe-citle-d arti cles of brlc-a-br.ic ami household gonels. Includeel n the list were certain canary birds and "ones parrot and cage." The bird that talks like a man made tho only kick against being sclzetl, and that did neit avail.

In her year's round of state federation meetings, which have included the ma jority of the Ftates east of the Missouri river and several on the other side, Mrs. Sarah Flatt Decker has found much that more than compensates for the fatigue in cidental to such Journeying. Regarding it Mrs. Decker says: ' A long Journey, but everywhere fine meet ings, much enthusiasm, splendid showing of work and plans, and never tin unkind word or a bit of gossip or an unworthy expres sion, absence of self-seeking, never a strug gle ror eiflle-e, always genorositv and lovln eorslde.-ratinn for others.

Virginia is without a stale organization, although It has a good many clubs. Tin- Mutual Improvement club of Clifton Forge was the first club of the stale to affiliate with the national organization, this having been done eluiing the fall. Sin e then there has been un effort tei e-ffect a state organization and, while this has not et been delir.itely accomplished, ho much progress has he-en made that it will prob ably not be lomf before Virginia as a t-ttue will be represcnte-d in the national organi sation. A iilitianeeiiieilts of the Theatres. With new music, new ensembles and new faces George Sidney will come to the Krug theater for four days, starting Stindav mati nee. The title of this season's offering has appropriately been termed "Busy Izzy's Va cation." Mr. Kidney Is well known to the theater-going public, and much Interest will undoubtedly be taken In his new offering, whii-h frolics along the line of his former piece. The scenic setting is said tei be un usually beautiful and the electrical effects a marvel of stagecraft. Pauline Hull will appear at the Royd theater tonight, offering for the first time In Omaha her new success, "Dorcas." This light opera Is by the authors of "Ermlnle," In which Miss Hall won a real triumph and Is said to be eiuite as merry and tuneful as that famous piece. It tells a good story and Is furnished with some charming lyrics. It gives the prima donna a splendid chance, and her glorious voice is heard In It to real advantage. Miss Hall is supported by a line singing organization and her tour so far has lieen a success. Her engagement hero Is for Friday and Saturday evenings and a matinee on Satureluy. In "The Virginian'' a phase of western life that has all but passed from the scene Is pictured most faithfully and graphically. No other play of the kind has ever readied tho pe-ople as this one, aud for the very good renson that no other play pulses with the life of the plains as does tho drama Owen Wlster has made of his own book. The company that Is playing the piece created meist of tin- parts, only eine or two changes having been made since the begin ning. Dustin Farnum still plays the Vir ginian anil Frank Campeuu is still giving his fine characterization of Trampas. A new Molly Wooel Is with the eompany this season, and is said to he the real article.

IN THE WEST ALL IS CLEAR NOW Kxeept for Related Arrivals West ward. o Inconvenient or Harm Is Reported as Re- It of atorm. A great contrast was tioticed Thursday morning as the trains from the east ami those from, the west pulled Into the Fnloti station. The trains from the east were covered with a blanket of sleet and snow and lookeel as If they had Just come In from the north pole, while the trains from the west were sleek and bright, without a -isible rign of the storm. All trains from the east were about four hours late and the western trains were practically all on time. Tho Northwestern train encountere-d about the hardest part of the storm, the now at Boone, la., being reported elghteet inches deep and most of the wires down. The evening trains were much neirer on time, the storm having abated and the trucks be ing eieared of the snow. v Repairs for Locomotives. The annual reports of some of the latger western roads show an Interesting table on the cost of repairs of locomotives, showing that the cost of repairs, both running and In shop, is closely preiportlonal to t,he- trac tive power and therefore to the height on the drivers. On the Union pacific In 1!i"4 there were 1:4 engines with an average weight on the drivers of fifty-eight tons. The cost of locomotive repairs and renewals jer en gine mile was 13.R4 cents; per 100-ton miles, . 17.04 cents and per locomotive. t3,'iefi. The cost of repairs per engine on tho Not them Pacific was f;.07T. and em the Southern i Pacific. f3.473. The highest cost for repairs ' per engine was on the Santa Fe, which 1 leached tl.lW per engine. These lines all use the heaviest locomotives ceintructed and a comparison with the figures of tha 1 other middle-west lines which do not have to cross the mountains and which, there fore, ase lighter engines, shows t fie cost less. The Milwaukee has 1.011 engines which cost ror repair and renewals but fl,4H3, aud the Northwestern owned lust year 1.307 engines, which cost tier engine for renewals and repairs, fl,563.40. Inlon Paelflc Kqalpment. New equipment is daily rolling into the station for the Fnlon pacific, and during the next few weeks all of the present order will be received, which will go a iQng ways toward helping out In the present rush of business. Twelve of tho new engines are here und the whede consignment, consisting of twenty-five freight engines, ifteen pas- j senger engines and ten switch engines, is all expecte-d shortly. It also Is expected that l.Xirt new box ears will be received berore the month Is out, as well as SO coal cars. Rallntiy totes nnd Personals. J. A.
