Mr.. Mckinley. of Ohio, addressed himself
more particularly to an analysis or President
Garfeld's abilities, as shown by the course pur-
sued by him during his long congressional ca
reer. He dwelt especially on Mr.. Garhelds
stand for the honest fulfllment of national obi
cations, and quoted from q private letter written
by Mr.. Garfield in 1878, in which he expresses
his hope thatthe s'old Nineteenth district will not
go back on the silver question but adds: III
it does, count it an honorable discharge" In
conclusion, Mr.. Mckinley said: Another place
of great honor we fill to-day; nobly and worthily
is it filled. Garfield has joined Winthrop. and
Adams, and the other illustrious ones, as one OF
the elect of the States people in yonder won
derful and beautiful hall. We add another to
the immortal membership; another into the
sacred circle another whose life work. with It's
treasure of wisdom, its wealth OF achievements,
its great work wrought and its priceless mem
cries, will remain to US and our descendants for
ever and forever"

friendship with Garfield, and of the admiration
with which he had always regarded Ohio's dead
statesman.
Mr.. Butterworth. of Ohio, paid a high tribute
to the head and heart of the lsmented Garfield,
and compared his abilities as a leader of his
party with those possessed by Blaine and Ste
vens, declaring that Garfield was the superior Of
either by reason of his being a profound thinker
and possessing a wider range of experience. He
eloquently dwelt upon the nobility of Garfeld's
private life, and held it up as an example to be
followed by American youth. 1t would 60 ill
with the Republic when lives like this were for
gotten, and the influence of such example was
unheeded.
Mr.. Pettibone, Of Tennessee, a former pupil
of Garfield. bore witness to the eminent abilities
and qualities of his teacher.
The resolution was then adopted.
Mir. Bragg, of Wisconsin, made an attempt to
have the Fitz John Porter bill made a special
order for Saturday, the 23d, but Mr.. Durham,
of Illinois, objected.
The House then adjourned.

WAS PIERCE HER HUsBAND9
A Letter from indianapolis Seeking to Estab
the Identity of j. w. Pierce.

"a - Wv
Atlanta Constitution.
Among the passengers killed near Austell on
the Georgia Pacific railroad some time ago, in the
accident caused by the East Tennessee passen-
ger train running into a Georgia Pacific sleeper,
was Mr.. j. w. Pierce, of Dallas, Tex. Soon af.
themselves to be sons of the deceased, came to
Atlanta for the purpose of taking steps towards
suing the company that was to blame for the &C
cident that caused their fathers death.
Nothing more was heard in connection with
Mr.. Pierce's death until a few days ago, when
Mr.. Walter Brown, of Atlanta, received a letter
from Judge Peelle, of Indianapolis. attorney for
Mrs. j. w. Pierce, of thatcity, asking Mr.. Brown
to investigate the matter, and see whether the
j. w. Pierce killed was not her husband, who
left Indianapolis some years ago and went to
Texas. Mrs. Pierce gave q description of her
husband, describing his size, color of hair and
eyes, and his probable weight. She also asked
if, when he was killed, was he not wearing a
Masonic badge and a locket on his watch chain
with a picture in. it, She also stated that the
two young men who visited Atlanta soon after
the accident, claiming to be Mr.. Pierce's sons,
were his nephewS. Mr.. Browa has examined
into the matter and has ascertained that Mr..
Pierce answers the description fully, which was
given of him by Mrs. Pierce, and when killed
was found wearing the charms described by
Mrs. Pierce. After comforting with Mr.. Patter-
son. the undertaken who prepared the remains
of Mr.. Pierce for burial, and ascertaining that
the description given by Mrs. Pierce correspond
ed identically with the Pierce who was killed,
Mr.. Brown wrote to Judge Peel!e and gave him
the information asked for. 1t appears from the
nature of the letter that Mr.. Pierce had property
both in Indiana and Texas, and Mrs. Pierce
wants to take steps to get possession of the same,
also to bring suit against the road that is re-
sponsible for her husbands death. Mr.. Pierce
was a stock-raiser and dealer. and having visited
Atlanta frequently. was we'll known here. Those
who knew him say he has been living in Texas
for nearly ten years, and never in their hearing
claimed to be from Indianapolis. In speaking OF
his homo he always spoke of Texas. and in doing
so left the impression upon the minds of his
friends that he was born and raised there.

An Argument Against Paper Currency.
New York Evening Post,


An Argument Against Paper Currency.
New York Evening Post.
Reconsideration of some importance on the sill
yer question is the sanitary objections to the
bank bills and greenbacks of small denomina-
sions. They pass through every kind of hand,
clean and dirty. healthy and diseased. They
lie for days or weeks in all sorts of pockets and
wallets. those of the rag-picker. of the slums,
who never washes body or clothes. as well as of
'the white cravat and daily bath man" of the
clubs. The banks and the Treasury put them in
circulation again, no matter how often they are
returned. as long as they hold together. Some
of them are indescribably filthy and dirty before
they disappear. 1t is not surprising, then, that
they are beginning to be more and more con-
sidcred mediums of contagious disease.
Many people in this city are having
themselves vaccinated as a protection against
the SMALLPOX patients. Afew weeks ago six direct
ors of an up town bank spent four or five hours
counting the bank-bills among the assets. Every
one of them was more or less unwell during the
following week. some with sore throats, indicat-
ing q touch of some sort Of infection. In fact,
the small paper money, convenient as it lie, is be-
coming a public danger. II should either be
destroyed the first time it returns to its source,
as Bank of England notes always are. and reis
sued fresh aud clean, or else wholly abolished,
and people left to silver for all sums under So.
The big dollar is clumsy, 50-cent pieces are not,
and people who wish to take care of their health
will do we'll to carry them and the smaller coins,
instead of the dirty and dangerous one, two and
five dollar bills.

Congressman Cobb's Bill.

fDIIHutIpnIH FTtsB.
Cobb. of Indiana, has introduced a bill to oblige
the government to receive its worn and defaced
coin at par, instead of at its bullion value, as
now. 1t is no more than just that the Govern
mont should replace the silver coin worn light
by abrasion with new coins rather than that the
loss to which many contribute should fall solely
on the last holder. The government realizes q
handsome profit on all its silver coinage that
goes into circulation, and it ought to stand the
incidental loss in weight which it receives
through ordinary use. The loss on clipped coins,
however, should fall on the holder. No one
should receive them on any pretext. for if no
one accepted clipped and plugged coins then
there would be no profit in clipping.

THE maYruEx ROMANCE.
A Lost Brothers Return After Twenty Years
The ongressman's Generosity.

A Lost Brothers Return After Twenty Years
The Congressman's Generosity.
Bar Harbor (Me.) Special.
A strange family reunion and dramatic Incl
dents in the history of the Maybury family, of
this city. have just been given the finishing
touch by the generosity of Congressman William
b. Maybury. Eighteen years ago Thomas May
bury was a young artillery officer in command of
the Tenth Battery New York Volunteers. He
was the oldest son of Thomas Maybury. of De-
troit. and a brother of Wm. G. Maybury. who at
that time was a lad at school. He was a model
officer. but the campaigns of two years
completely broke him down, and he was
carried home q physical wreck. During his
absence his mother had died, and the oldest
daughter had been installed as head of the
household. The sick soldier was nervous and
easily angered. One day, in the fall Of 1866. he
had been unusually irritable, and HAD declined to
accede to some request made by the sister,
whereupon his fathers temper rose and he
ordered him to leave the house.
The young lieutenant did as he Was babe, and
for twenty years no word was received from him,
and the family mourned him as dead. The aged
father was bowed down by grief, and as he felt
the approach of death he called for a lawyer to
make his will. With tears in his eyes. the old
man told how the favorite son had gone away,
never to return. After bequeathing 800, 600 Of
city real estate to some daughters, the will re-
cited that If Thomas did not return within three
years after the testator's death to claim his share
Of the remainder, the estate was all to go to
William O.. the younger son. The date of the
will was Feb. 10, 1882.
On last Christmas eve a tall. handsome man
got off a Michigan Central train here. Except
in height he was almost the counterpart of Con-
gresham Maybury. He told a hackman to drive
him to old Thomas Maybury's house, and learned
from the driver that Thomas Maybury was dead,
The stranger vas the longlost son, and was
deeply affected by the news. He was driven to
the cong-essman's house. His sister opened the
door to him and tainted away. The reunion
with the family was affecting and dramatic.
He had returned exactly forty days after his
inheritance had expired, but he did not care; he
had gone West a poor man and had returned a
rich m%ine-owner In California. The story only
came out yesterday afternoon, when deeds from
the congressman to his brother for the latter's
share of the estate. valued at $20,0 900, were re-
corded. Thomas didn't want to take it. but
William insisted.

New York Special to Chicago News.
The story about Joaquin Millers daughter
begging in Chicago was printed in the World
literary and theatrical people. Mrs. Frank
Leslie was very much disturbed, and. after
reading the story, said:
''This is a malicious piece of business. For
fifteen years my husband was q close personal
friend of Mr.. Miller. He and his wife and
daughter visited US, and l know that father
could not have done for child more than Mr..
Miller did for Maud. She was educated ut q
Canadian convent, at heavy expense to him, and
after graduating made a tour Of Europe. She
had the very best of opportunities. but being q
little erratic she failed to avail herself of them.
While in the convent in Canada the Marquis OF
Lorne and the Princess louise paid her a visit.
Over the border this was considered a marked
honor. She was very pretty and very intelll-
gent, and should have been q bright ornament in
society. She is now but twenty years of age.
"She is but an amateur in the stage business,
and has been on the boards not more than q few
months. She appeared in a dual character in
the 'Danites' with some success, but it Is not
true that she has been playing important roles
for two years. She appeared under her maiden
name, Maud Miller.
you may not be aware that she is a married
woman, and that her husband, not her father, is
the person to whom she should look for support.
Her husband is a son Of Steele Mackaye. the
theatrical manager. II report be true, he has
never been able to support his wife. They were
married against the fathers express wishes, yet
he generously contributed to her support after
ward. know this, because he instructed me to
transmit to her checks in pay for what he had
done for US. and / myself saw that these checks
were forwarded. You see there are two sides to
the story. and l think Mr.. Millers side does him
credi. Should the young lady come to this city
she will probably call on me, but she has not
done so yet"
