he to the waiter. @Come again in a

Five minutes later the waiter came
back again, and the man in the silk
hat was. still studying the bill.
Il guess you may give me some OF
those little round cold mullins, and I'll
see what else want"
When the mullins were brought the
gentleman said: "a glass of water,

The syrup was delivered, and the
man wlo was about to feast responded
to the rs that all ?" of the waiter:

Adick has only been in the country few
weeks and was stopping at the American
Hotel, corner of Van Buren, aud Franklin
streets. Thursday night, while strolling
about the South Side he was accosted by
Sadie Carr and Kate Washington, who live
at $50 Sherman street. He accompanied
them to their rooms. He started to leave
and they urged him to remain, and gave him
some drinks which, 1T is said, were drugged.
Becoming alarmed Adick arose to 60 and
both women grab bed him and threw him to
the iloor. He broke from them and made
for the door only to find it locked. A des-
perate fight followed, in which the two
women were more than match for the un-
sophisticated German. 1t was at this juno
ture that he thought of escape by the win
dow.
The women, Carr and Washington, were
arrested and lodged at the Armory station

THE PANIC MAKERS,
New York Press. ]

No words off condemnation can be too
strong for the double loaded financial
dynamite which the democratic news
papers are exploding In their editorial
columns in their anxiety to score point
against the republican party In the mat
ter OF stringency, growing out Of the de-
mand for money to pay duties on goods
in bond. A republican administration is
doing all it can to prevent any evil effects
of stringency, so far as the government
can prevent them under existing laws.
The republican secretary of the treasury
was in town yesterday and is in town to-
day to receive suggestions for the relief Of
the money market. The republican con-
gress, represented by a conference COM
mittee of the two houses, is reasonably
certain to extend the time for taking
goods out of bond under present duties.
1t has been shown beyond cavil that the
value of the goods in bond and the
amount of money required to pay duties
on them have been exaggerated. And
yet here are the democratic partisan
newspapers trying their best to create a
panic and bring about disaster that
would ruin innocent people for the sake
of scoring party victory in the congress
sional elections. The ghoulish spirit
that is willing to profit by such methods
deserves the indignant adherence of
every right minded man of any party.

upon which a number of playing-cardS

FOrgctful Of the fact that his name

young man stared at the fortune-teller
in opcn-mouthCd wonder.

Pull out your pencil and do little fig
uring. Every silver dollar is worth now
in the market about IS cents. A month
ago they were worth but 72 cents 1t is
proposed now to coin or to buy bullion
for coinage to the amount of four and a
half million month. On every silver
dollar coined or on every silver certificate
issued there is now difference of about
Is cents between the fixed value and mar
ket value. When the government takes
IS cents and makes it into standard dol
lar, it pockets this difference. That is to
say, in the end, it goes to the people The
republican idea is to coin just as much
money as the volume of business de-
mands. This is free coinage in effect
For free c-inage is simply the right to
take to the mint the legal amount of
silver and have it coined as a legal dol
lar. This would mean that silver would
be coined until the demand would be
equalled and then it would stop. Given
then that the government coinage is ad-
equate, limited coinage and free coinage
are in effect, Identical But with this
difference: When the government buys
bullion and coins, it receives the s'rake
off, il any exist; at present that is Is
cents on the dollar. Under free coinage,
the government simply does the coinin
and the holder of the bullion receives
the 'srake off," Now who is the
bullion holder? The people, the
farmer, the laborer2. Have they any
silver bullion to coin? Whence comes
then the cry for free coinage? From
the bullion holders, the mine owners,
the silver spectators. They are the
clamorous ones, and why? Because
under free coinage they wonfd make
what the government now makes. Sup
posing four and one-half millions per
month is now needed. Give us free
coinage and at present prices, that
means Is cents on every dollar, or $685.
900 per month, pocketed by the silver
spectators. That means eight millions
year. Under the present law, the re-
publican plan, every cent of that now
goes to the government, that is to say
the people. Under democratic free COIN
age, every cent of it would have gone to
enrich the millionaire owners of silver
mines.
That Is the meaning of the cry for free
coinage. 1t is what the working people,
the farmers and merchants desire.

POLITICAL NOTES.

IN most Of the figuring on the next
presidential election, Missouri is placed
in the democratic column. This is an
error that all political arithmeticians
should carefully avoid. Missouri has
made fool of herself in that way for
the last time, and will hereafter be found
among the republican states.
In the three states where members Of
the next house have been chosen-Ore-
gon, Vermont and Maine-not single
democratic candidate has succeeded,
There isn't much sign of a republican
calamity this year in such a beginning as
that.

thirty thousand in number, and hvesin
small settlements, seldom more than six
or seven families in settlement.
These settlements are called "staros-

more land OF focks than any other man

which form the wealth, and are the
pride of the Huzuls, are the common
property of the settlement. Although
they have regular homes, they make

The greater portion of old wooden
ships that are salable, whether in this
country or in Europe, are purchased by
German merchants. Working on
small capital they buy those that are
leaky, put presentable and cheap, cop
per-bottom them and start them on
their travels again. Most of the old
wooden vessels of this country fly the
German flag. Americans prefer build
ing new vessels to patching up the
old
