The project of an international bul-
lion bank is now discussed in Paris, its
purpose being to secure the disuse of
remittances in gold coin, and substitute
for it bullion. By this arrangement it
will be possible to save the expenses Of
exchange and the danger attending the
transportation of gold coin. This bank
is to be opened in Paris and London,
and branches are to be established in
large cities all over the world.

New York Times.
Benjamin Brandreth, the proprietor
of Brandrethis pills, died suddenly at
his residence of the Goth ult, OF apo
plexy. Mr.. Brandreth was born 10
England, where his father and grand
father before him had been engaged in
the pill business in limited way. Ben.
min was the first of the family to con-
ceive the idea of enlarein( the business
by the free use of printers ink. In 1885
Benjamin came to this country, and be-
gan manufacturing and advertising on a
scale that Immediately attracting atten.
ton. He contracted friendship with
James Gorden Bennett, was then Is.
tablisbing the Herald. in the columns
of which sheet Brandreth's cathartic
pills speedily grew into notoriety. At
that time column of advertising could
be had at the price of q single square at
the present day. From 1910 to 1855 the
pills rapidly rose in favor, great guam
titles being shipped to the west and
south. A large trade was.also built up
with South America and foreign coun-
tries. In the years Immediately pre-
cceding the war Brandreth's bill for
advertising reached as high as $4,000
and $4,000 a year. The English
branch of the house, conducted by one
of the sons, expended as high as $40. COO
annually for the same purpose. Brandt
reth's success brought host of compe.
tition into the business, some of whom
in the end made larger fortunes than
himself. Since the war the firm large
~ decreased their advertising, and de-
pended on the steady demand which
their former efforts had created. Brand
reth's first store was in Spruce street.
where he remained for ten years, NOV.
ing in 1916 to Hudson street, and from
there to the present location at the cor.
ner of Canal street and Broadway, in
1852. Mr.. Brandreth was twice elected
to the state senate, and his eldest son,
the Hon. George A. Brandreth, has
served four years in the assembly. Of
his fourteen children, thirteen are still
living. Mr.. Brandreth married in Eng
land before coming to this country.
His wife was q Miss Graham. In pri-
vate life he was amiable, sociable, and
despised show and ostentation of all
kinds. He was frequently asked to
contribute sketches of his life to adver-
tising agents and writer's of biographi-
cal puffs, but invariably refused. He
was vestryman and leading member
of one of the Episcopal churches OF
Sing Sing. Mr.. Brandreth's estate is
estimated at from $500. 600 to $500, 900.

On Wednesday night of last week hack
load of young people who live within
thousand miles of this city, zs1aies and
females, visited the garden OF Mr.. A. r.
Baltimore, about eight miles southeast q
this city. just before mi.lnighs, pulled up
flowers, potatoes, ratiishes, turnips, etc.,
making wreck of everything, seemingly.
they could lay their hands on. The intre-
ders seemed to be actnated by spirit Of
malicious mischief and only ceased to de-
stroY and mutilate after they had been
warned to leave the premises. Such
actions do not speak very well for the
bringing up" of the young ladies and
gentlemen concerned in the adventure.
and on second sober thought we believe
the parties will be willing to make annie
reparatiOn. without Mr.. Baltimore being
compelled to appeal to the weighty arm
OF the law to obtain redress. Mr. Balti.
more traced the matter up next day. and
has the fullest information as to all the
parties concerned. A hint to the wise "a

Conn Bros. saw mill at Grass Ridge. a
short distance beyond Lebanon, in this
county, burned on Friday night last. the
fire being discovered between eleven and
twelve O'Clock. When the fire was dis
covered the entire mill was ablaze, aud
there was no show to save anything
There was some 300, 600 feet of lumber
near the burning pile. and It was thougnr
at first impossible to save it but the at
tempt was made, and after the greatest
exertion IL was moved out OF the reach of
the devouring element. The property
burned was valued at $500. on which
there WAS an insurance of $I.SOO The
origin of the fire is mystery. On Thurs
day the metal in one of the boxes became
so hot that it melted and ran down into
the sawdust. Ike's theory of the fire is
that the melted metal may have set fire to
the sawdust. and smouldering during the
next day it broke out In the middle of the
night. He does not believe 4 was the

blow on the Conn Brothers. and we are
