TIE silver Question

PHILADELPHIA. December GA
Times Washington special says: 1t
has been ascertained from autho
tative sources that pending the
consideration of The silver question
by the President and the Cabinet,
a confidential circular has been pre-
pared by high officer of the Gov
eminent and sent in confidence to
certain prominent financial men,
bankers and others, throug hout the
country, asking an expression of
opinion as to the substitution of sill
yer for the bonds now held By the
Government as security for the cir
culation Of national banks. The
plan is to have the banks, as their
security bonds are called, deposit in
the Treasury, a corresponding
amount of silver bullion. at its mar
ket value and not its coin value.
The proposition does not contem-
plate the payment Of interest to the
banks on the market value of the
amount represented by the bullion
deposit. The amount realized by
the banks on their securities is so
small that the loss of revenue to
the banks would not be material.
At the same time, the difference be-
tween the bank securities and the
market and coin values of the silver
bullion substituted, would be a par
tial offset to this loss of interest.
Replies to the confidential circular
are awaited with much interest by
Treasury officials cognizant Of the
nature of the inquiry.

WAN FED T'D SM ATE.
Az Old Man who Eevie ws Els
Childhood days.

The other evening an old man
over sixty years of age came into
the Skating Rink.
Il used to be something OF a
skater when I was a boy he said,
as he was shown into the toilet
room by Mr.. Richard.
Il covered 100 miles in a day
once on the Hostonac river and
danced at a bail ali the next night.
Here he began to peel his over
coat, and as he looked through the
door and saw the gay throDg Keeling
in the giddy circle, his cheeks
flushed with anticipation.
There wasn't TO indoor skating
heard Of when | was boy. The
idea Of making ice inside Of house
would entitle a man TO a trst-Hoor
room in a lun attic asylum. / II make
a show when I get out there" he con
tinued, as he proceeded to strap on
his skates. Give me room, he
continued as he rose to his feet and
staggered through the door. With
couple Of leg distracting motions
he fell headlong on the floor and all
the roller skaters began TO pile over
him.
Rising 70 his feet he made an
other attempt but went down with
a groau Of pain. and some good
hearted people helped him back to
the dressing room.
Here it was discovered that he
had on a pair Of old fashion skates,
made fer the ice, with steel run
ners.
Where the devils your ice," he
inquired savagely, what do you
stick up a skatin' sign outside for,
and give a man nothin' but bare
floor. I'll sue this id Opera
House Association for every dollar
I pay out on this leg, now, you hear
me, and III begin to sue as soon as
get back to Washoe county"
He was shown a pair Of roller
skates and their use explained, but
that dld not mollify his wrath, and
he said that whenever he wanted
to slide round on wheels. his old
buggy was good enough for him.

To The Finish.

The Prize fight in San Fran
cisco between Mitchell and Hamil-
ton has been a genuine surprise TO
the sports. It is about the only
fight to finish ever had there. 1t
took several days to finish it how
ever. A few rounds were fought
one day, and on the arrival Of the
Sheriff it was adjourned to another
county.
Next day an hour or so would be
put in at ring work, another Sheriff
would pop up, and away they
would 90 again to third county.
1t took almost week to finish the
fight, but they finished it.
Up to this time the Sheriff has
always been looked upon as in ca
boots with the fighters, to keep
them from over-working themselves
at their trade.
Pugilists will be sure to wear
themselves out if they keep fight
going on at this rate.

How She Received EEeg Old Austin
Friends.

How She Received eses' Old Austin
Friends.
The following is taken from a
long report in the Reveille of the
reception given to Emma Nevada,
in Austin:
After two hours of solid luxury
the concert closed, when Emma Ne
yada came forward and thanked all
for the coriiality with which she
had been greeted and said she had
no better words to express her feel
ings than are given in Home Sweet
Home" She then announced that
she wished to be excused a moment
until she changed her dress, when
she would return and hold an in
formal reception aud wanted to
meet just as many as possible. She
also stated that she had blou2 ht
wedding cake all the way from Paris
to give to her Austin friends and
would serve the ladies first. In q
few minutes she returned and seat
ing herself on the stage she said:
Now I am plain Emma Wixom."
At this T. Palmer came forward
and said How about me?' oh,
yes, this is my husband, explained
Emma amid the laughing. Then
the wedding cake was handed
around wrapped up in white paper
and many crowded forward to greet
Emma. For over an hour the in
formal reception was continued and
TO all, Emma extended most cordial
welcome. Full Of happiness and
contentment, at last the audience
dispersed.
Yesterday morning brought the
parting scenes and a large crowd
went down TO Clifton to see them go.
1t was very hard for both DR.. Wix-
ON and Emma to leave. Both shed
tears and lamented having to leave
the little town which was so full Of
tender recollections and where still
dwell so many life long friends. In
several cases the leave taking was
was very affecting.
At the depot every possible at
tention was shown to them and to
one and all they seemed like old
friends.
One peculiar feature was the
comming up to Emma Of Piute
buck and squaw who had known
her here years ago. They were
tickeled to see her and she pleased
the homely aged old natives by Civ
ing them cordial greeting and
tai ling Of someold-ti happenings
in which they were concerned.

Hunting His Enemies Down.

4 few days ago thee was in
Butte quiet and undemonstra-
tive man whom no one would have
taken to be Of the character which
has been attributed to him by a
friend in this city who knows his
history.
Some ten years ago the gentle
man in question was resident OF
Chicago and had a happy home. A
villain. however, insinuated him
self into the condolences Of the
family, and the result was that the
wife's affections were led astray.
But she did not desert her home,
and the husband S suspicious were
not aroused.
Matters finally came to such
pass and the wife sank almost to
the condition of common prostl
tute. still however remaing at home.
The husband S eyes were at Length
opened to the condition of affairs
and he prepared for revenge. He
was rich and could afford an expen-
sive system for achieving revenge.
He first employed Pinkertons
agency to "spct" the men who had
wronced him, paying 1000 for the
job. The men were found to be
twelve in number, including two or
three prominent Chicagoans.
The wronged husband then took
an oath devoting his life to follow
ing these men as long as they and
he liyed-to harass and ruin them
in business, balk them in every
enterprise in which they might en-
gage, and worry them into their
graves. The last ten years have
been devoted to this work, and
while in Butte the chief actor
stated to his friend here that he
had seen the graves Of nine Of the
the twelve and expected to see the
other three buried before he him
self goes to his grave. The guilty
wife died long ago of remorse.-

\ RIOOIy Affair.

OAKLAND, Dec. 9.-Another ter
rible tragedy occurred yesterday
morning. A man known as G. +.
White, a gambler, called at the
house of Mrs. L.: S. Drish. When
he entered the house he began to
talk with lady who occupied the
front rooms. A few moments
later the lady ran rapidly down the
hall to the rear of the house, pur-
sued by White: As soon as he
came close to her he drew a re-
volver and fired twice. As soon as
he saw the lady fall he stopped
running, turned the revolver TO-
ward his head, fired, and dropped
on the form of the bleeding woman.
Before medical aid aid could be
called the man was dead.
The whole matter is shrouded il
mystery. The lady is known here
by many names, but which is her
proper one cannot be determined.
She bears a respectable name and
has daughter attending school at
Highland Park. The daughter is
called Ehie Sibson. Her mother is
known to some as White, to others
as Curtis, and to others still as Sib-
son. The wounded woman former
ly lived at San Bernardino, where
she kept a clearinghouse. 1t seems
she was in the habit of giving
money to White, and it is supposed
that she refused to give him more,
which so enTaged him that he shot
her, and supposiug be had killed
her, shot himself. The woman's
condition is critical.
