AS GOOD AS GOLD.
Senator Jones Strong Plea for the Precious
Silver.

EenatOr Jones stOnS ftea lot tne fGeclOut
Silver.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-The Senate re-
sumed consideration of the Silver bill,
and Mr.. Jones of Nevada, continued the
speech begun by him yesterday.
Fears had been expressed, he said, lest
gold should leave the country by reason
of restoring to silver its full monetary
power, Such " ould not be the case. For
every gold dollar that left there would be
a silver dollar in circulation.
If, however, gold could be kept only on
condition that equality and justice should
be destroyed who doubted that it should
go. Gold, by reason of its greater value,
notwithstanding all the legislation in its
favor, could never become the common
money me,lium of the world. A gold
coin that would represent an average
days labor would be too small for con-
nienthandling. Silver was the money
metal best suited to the mass of the
people and to the variety and char
acter of transactions constituting the
interchanges of daily life. The supplies
OF both metals in existence, if united, by
law, in the full money function, would
have steadiness of value which could
not be attained by either separately No
amount of current production that could
be expected from the mines could effect
any appIeoiabe reduction in their value
their being a combined stock of over
$4,000, ,0O0,0 on hand. Were there any
conceivable necessity for the demonetiza-
ton OF either metal, why Che asked) de-
monetize that which promised the greater
and more steady yield? If for any reason
society should decide that any one of
them should be discarded, should it not
rather be that one which promised the
smaller future yield than that which
promised the larger 1t was absolutely
vital to the welfare of society that both
silver and gold should be in full and un.
limited use as money, and equally in
rested with the power of legal tender,
by the reconciliation of silver money
will cease to be the object of commerce,
and will again become lis benefcent in
strument. Activity will replace stagna-
tion, movement will supplant inertia,
courage will Danish fear, confidence will
dispel doubt, hope will supersede despair
The lifting up of silver to its rightful
plane by the side of gold will set in mo-
tion all the latent energies OF the people.
1t will banisb involuntary idleness by put
ting every willing man to work. 1t will
revive business and reanimate the heart
and hope of the masses. Capital, no
longer fearing fall in prices, will turn
into productive avenues. The boards of
money lying idle in the bank vaults will
come out to bless and enrich alike their
owners and the community at large, while
the millions of dollars now invested at
low interest in gold.edged securities will
seek more profitable investment in the
busy field of industry, where they will be
utilized in the payment of wages and the
consequent dissemination of comfort and
happiness among the people.

Ran Into an Iceberg.

QUEBEC, May 14.-The Allan Line
steamship Partisan, which arrived here
yesterday from Liverpool, narrowly es-
capped disaster off the banks of Newfound-
land.
A heavy fog prevailed and the steamer
was running cautiously at the rate of six
miles an hour. The lookout sighted a
huge iceberg about forty yards ahead.
The engines were Immediately reversed,
but the steamer ran onto portion of it
at distance of about 10 feet.
For time the huge ship shivered from
the shock. and great excitement prevailed
on board, a panic being prevented only
by the lf-possession of the officers. The
vessel lay on her broadside for full min
ute, and Capt. Richie ordered all hands
on deck, and the crew to stand by the
boats. The vessel, however, soon set.
tied back into clear water uninjured.
Had the vessel been running at a greater
speed nothing could have saved her from
complete wreck and great loss of life.

" ORIGINAL PACKAGE
HOUSES.
LIQUOR

Being Opened AlIsove= the States of Iowa
and Kansas-Whisky Sold at Leaven-
worth in Gill Bottles at Ten Cents Each.
TOPEKA, KAN, May 1.-Two " origi-
nal package" liquor houses yesterday
commenced business here, and many
others will soon be in line. The Plohi,
bitionists will make no effort to stop them
until national legislation is secured, All
OF the cold water agitation will be on that
line. Beer in quart bottles aud whisky
in half pint TASKS are regarded as original
packages.
A Leavenworth, Kan, telegram says :
Cold water men are excited. They must
begin their battle over again. Leaven-
worth will soon be dotted with origi-
nal package establishments. Whisky is
being sold in gill bottles at ten cents.
An Atchison, Kas., telegram says
The ''original package" decision will not
cut much of figure in Atchison. No
matter what the final Interpretation of the
decision may be, it cannot possibly in
crease the amount of intoxicating liquor
annually consumed in the city. Immedi-
ately after the open saloons were closed
four years ago under tile prohibitory law,
the joints sprung into existence, and an
average forty of them have been running
full blast ever since. They are under
police surveillance the same as gambling
houses.
A Des Moines, Iowa, telegram says:
"Original package" houses are already
opened in the cities and towns of Iowa.
The State authorities are afraid to meddle
with the new industry. 1t will play
prominent part in the future politics of
the State.

The McKeesport Postoffice Again

WASHINGTON, May 14---Once more q
controversy has started over the McKees.
port postOffice, growing out of the confu.
sion in the names a! the time Edwin Soles
was nominated, the nomination being
subsequently Withdrawn and the nomi.
nation of Elmer NJ. Soles made. The
correction was made without any official
explanation being furnished, and this has
been seized as pretext upon which to
file objections to confirmation. These
protests come from McKeesport, but have
not been considered by the Senate Com
mittee, as it has not yet held a meeting
and the details are not disclosed. The
nomination of Elmer NJ. Soles will be con-
firmed because the Postmaster General
intends to make good his promise that
any man Congressman Ray named, ex-
cept Thompson, should be postmaster
The present kick is annoying, b'' -
consequential.

4 Stricken Town

NORTHAMPTON, Mass, May 14.-Red
flags are Auttering on every street in East
hampton. 1t has an epidemic of diph.
iberia,
Over one hundred cases are reported,
and thirty deaths have resulted. John
Messer has lost tour children within five
days. The hotel has been closed and
placed under quarantine, several cases
being there.
This morning corps of physicians
from the Massachusetts General Hospital
took charge of the epidemic. The blame
is laid to the lax enforcement of sanitary
laws by the Board of Health and the non-
quarantining of cases in rich families.

CUSTOMS ADMINISTRATION.
The New Law Regulating 1t Went Int
fleet Yesterday.

The New Law Regulating 1t Went Into
Effect Yesterday.
The new law regulating the customs ad-
minstratiOn went into effect yesterday.
The first day OF the new law however, did
not produce the slightest ripple of excite
ment among the importers nor among the
Custom-hUu clerks, in fact the day was
one Of the quietest that the Cust0m-house
has had for some time.
The effect of the new law, however, is not
as yet felt by the importers, for the reason
that all goods in transit prior to the first
day of August are entered under the old
law, and it will not be until tile manifests
made out in foreign ports after the first day
of August begin to arrive that the importers
will have chance TO kick over the new
regulation, which cOmDels them to pay duty
on the full cost of the goods as landed in
San FTancisco, with the exception Of ocean
freight
Under the old law the importer was al
lowed to deduct from the cost of the mer-
cbandise everything but the first cost of
manufacture. This provision, reasonable
enough on Its face, was often wrongfully
taken advantage of by the importers, who
would considerably reduce the cost of the
goods as shown by the manifest by charg-
Ing in their rebate schedule for an excessive
amount OF packing, carriage, etc 1t was
this abuse that led Congress to change the
law.
The only person whom the change seemed
to worry was Chief Deputy Collector Jer-
ONE, who had so many veXed questions to
decide in advance of the application Of the
new law that for once in the history of his
connection with the service his face wore
troubled look instead of the childlike
frolicksomeness with which lie is accus-
toned to conduct the work Of collecting
Uncle Sans revenue.

4 Dashing SoubretIe Sues n Providence
Merchant for Breach of Promise.
PROVIDENCE, July 19-In the Court Of
Common Pleas, before Judge Wilbour and
jury Thursday, began the trial of the
case Of Mrs. Louisa Dolphin, an English
widow and variety actress, against Herman
A. SanborD, a well-known business man of
the city, for $4,000 for breach of promise.
The plaintiff, whose maiden name was Salt,
and who is q years old, came to this coun-
trv in 1880, remained in Providence year
and then returned TO England, where her
husband died in 1881. Then she came back
to Providence, and with her sister Ada
secured an engagement as variety actress
at the old Theater C0mique. Both the
Young women were dashing soubrettes, and
as the Vail Sisters soon danced and sang
themselves into favor.
Sanborn who is a wholesale leather mer-
chant, whose family are rich and leaders in
social life, became infatuated with Louisa
and the two were fast friends. Mrs. Dolphin
claims that from 1856 until last summer or
autumn Mr.. Sanborn promised to marry
her, but kept postpuning the time on the
ground of objections from his own people
and because he wanted her to have more
education.
She attended convent school at Man.
chester, n. H., for year prior to July, 1889,
and Mr. Sanborn paid her expenses.
The plaintiff AYERS that she had an oppor-
tunity to marry one DR.. Fowler, but did not
on account Of her engagement to marry
SanbOrn.
The defendant admitted that he paid for
Mrs. DOlphin'S board and tuition at the
to marry her. The case is still on.-Utica

NAUGHTY BOYS.
They Attempt to Feed AIIgators With a
Small Dnp

Small Dog.
A madly bowling dog, running down
jackson street, caused scores of people to
rush to the windows to see what was the
matter. Young America, as usual, had
been at the bottom of the dog scare.
All day long interested crowds Of specta-
tors surrounded the fountain in the Court
house park and watched the two alligators
as they slowly moved through the water,
the smaller one always keeping a respect
full distance from the big fellow. He had
been chased and bitten by him, and pre-
ferred to travel alone. A number OF boys
who know their natural philosophy well
had read that alligatOrs dote on and are
very fond OF dog meat. just then lone
SOME cur, who enjoyed the cool air as much
as AL the world and the rest of mankind"
as President Zachariah Taylor put it in his
inaugural speech, was see coming along.
They caught him before he had time to
raise the ante, and, no police officer just
then being in sight, threw him into the
water. He and tie alligator saw each other
at the same time. And then the fun began.
The stranger from Florida, who has not
touched any food given him since he was
with wonderful alacrity and made for the
canine. The latter, for moment. as ter
rifed, and remained motiOnleSS. But then
he realized his danger and fled from the
open jaws of his pursuer. The crowd,
mostly boys, was wild with expectation,
but too excited to offer any bets OH the out
come of the struggle. The distance between
the two grew smaller and smaller, when by
a mighty effort, the dog suddenly succeeded
in raising himself and catching the edge of
the basin. A gentleman quickly lifted him
over the railing and gave him his liberty.
For several minutes after the disappointed
alligator swan around the basin, vainly try
ing to find the covered deicacy, while the
dog was scurrying off, bowling from fright
