Columbus.


Columbus.
Ohio is justly celebrated for the excellence
of its STATE institutions and the humanity
and efficiency of their management. Excep-
tions there are occasionally, OF courSe; but it
may well be questioned whether there is an
other commonwealth in the world which
takes better care of its criminal and upfor-
tunate. The central lunatic asylum, cover
ing fourteen acres, is nodel-one studied
by the olienists of other countries; and the
institutions for the blind, deaf lOutes and i'm
beetles have reached a high state of efficiency.
In these the poorest child OF misfortune in
toe state is insured excellent food and bed
ding, security, the best of medical attend
ance, clean and good clothing, baths and di-
versions, and all-sucb is the advantage Of
corporation on large scale-at cost per
capita less than the ordinary clerk or
journalist pays for very ordinary boarding.

silver and Wheat.


The price of silver, since the 1t. Louis
convention, says the National Executive
Committee in their report, has advanced
from 90 cents 10 Sl.l0 an ounce almost
half way 70 parity with gold. And with
the advance Of silver bullion, as silver men
confidently predicted, agricultural pro-
ducts. especially wheat and cotton, have
materially advanced. As it takes more
gold TO get the silver TO coin into
rupees with which TO buy wheat in
India for the English market. less wheat
will be bought in India, and more. and at a
higher price, will be bought in the United
States. In this way the larger use of silver
as money i'm this country may, by raising
the price OF silver, and with IL the price OF
wheat and cotton without diminishing their
export. increase the total value OF our ex-
ports. and in this manner help 10 create a
larger balance of trade in our favor. Thus,
while the producers Of silver may be bene-
fitted by this act land why should they not
he y, the whole country gains millions by IL.

BARON LANGERFELT'S DISGRACE
lie Deserted His American wife, a. Well
as Issued Fraudulent stock.

1t was discovered yesterday at Pittsburg
that Baron Langerfclt, the swedish vice.
consul who left the country a few weeks
ago. after dispOsing Of fraudulent stock
of the Jefferson Iron Company, got into
financial straits through speculation in
oil He did not have much money OF
his own, and it is known that lac lost 5000
in one deal. He lived well and was
popular AT the clubs, but was not eXtrava-
cant in his habits. Baroness langericlt
was i'm Pittsburg Yesterday. She has the
sympathy Of all who knew her. She did not
marry the baron because Of his title, nor
did he marry her because her father was a
millionaire. IL was u love match. pure and
simple, and their home life up to this time
has been very happy.
Calvin B. Doty, Baroness Langcrfelrs
father, saws there was no necessity for the
Baron's wrOug-dOing: that If he had told
him he needed money he would have adj
yanced all that was necessary. Baroness
Langcrfelt was visible only 90 her closest
friends. From one Of these it was ascer-
tanned that the Baroness received letter
last week from the Baron, in sweden, tell
ing her that ne had issued bogus stock and
forged her fathers name. and thus secured
$50, 900, and that he had left America for
ever. lie inclOsed power of attorney and
directed her to take the remainder Of his
genuine stock in the Jefferson works not
hvpOthecated. in Wheeling bank, to secure
a loan of $1,000 transferred 10 her father.
This she did. . His letter was the first init
nation that anything was wrong. The
baroness at once went home 10 her father
and has been i'll since.
The banks that were yIctimized will take
steps 10 have the baron eXtradited if he can
be found.
