Demands for Paratoloid.

One of the curiosities to arrive at the
postof1ce was a letter addressed to cdr
Koch, Esq, New Haven, Conn" 1t was
postmarked from town in western New
York. The postoffice officials were not
long in reaching logical deduction that
it was intended for DR.. Foster, and it was
so delivered. This reasoning proved cor
rect, for it was written by some one de-
string most earnestly the lymph treat
ment. DR.. Foster said that he was
heartily glad the lymph reached New
York and Washington, because it might
have the effect of lessening the increas-
ing stream of applicants and applications
that have been pouring in on him.
This demand has grown daily since
the second arrival of the lymph at an
alarming rate. Letters come from all
parts of the Union-California, Indiana,
North Carolina, Vermont and even Col
orado-written by those willing to do
anything in the hope of obtaining even
some slight relief from dreaded diseases
They have the hope that perhaps they
individually will be chosen from the
others. No matter what the distance is,
they are willing to come ON to make the
experiment. Many have the idea that,
like vaccination, one incubation is suf-
ficient, without realizing the long course
of treatment which is necessary.
But one and all have to be refused, as
further experiments at present are i'm
possible. DR.. Foster is nearly worn out
IN the vain attempt to answer part of
his correspondence, which occupies near.

WHAT rs A DOLLAR?

While some of our contemporIes are
trying to enlighten a stubborn class OF
readers as to the results of free coinage
and the number of grains necessary to
make a silver dollar worth dollar, we
wish they would pause long enough to
give us little information on the gold
dollar question. We confess to a woeful
ignorance as to the value of dollar,
either gold or silver. We have seen the
time when a two-bit piece looked as big
as a railroad turn table, and have exper-
fenced the glad revolution of realizing
that twenty dollar gold piece wasn't
worth .nickle. This Of course was a
matter of supply and demand, and is
not fair statement of the case; but we
would like to know how much gold it
takes to make a dollar and why. We
would like to know who is the authority
that determines the amount of gold
necessary to make dollar, and how he
got his authority. We would like to
know why 25.S grains of gold make a
was agreed upon-if it was agreed upon
AS being equal to one dollar. What is
dollar anyway? Why will mot 25 even
grains of gold make dollar just as well
as 25.S grains? If 25.S grains of gold are
worth dollar, what kind of dollar are
they worth? If they are only worth a
gold dollar the proposition becomes sim
plified somewhat, and would become
more so by putting it that a dollar g
worth of gold is worth gold dollar. If
this is so why is not dollars worth of
silver worth gold dollar? We cannot
see that the amount of silver has any
thing to do with it. Before this silver
question came up, 1925 grains of silver
were worth dollar, but when the trade
dollar was made and 420 grains of silver
were put in it the gentlemen who
handled the coin of the realm said ii
was only worth ninety cents, and that
is all it would bring. Perhaps if the odd
grains were knocked off and only 40C
grains of silver were put in a dollar and
% grains of gold were put in gold dol
lar, the proportion of 16 to maintained
the silver dollar would be worth more
If 1925 grains of silver are worth dol
lar, and 420 grains of silver are only
worth ninety cents, the proper way to
get silver coin on par with gold is tc
reduce its weight. To be brief we
would like to, know if gold dollar is
worth anything except a dollars worth
of gold. The trouble is that silver in
stead OF being recognized as money il
looked upon as commodity, to bt
measured by gold standard, the same
as wheat or potatoes, and when gold il
scarce and therefore dear our gold bugs
would have more silver for dollar JUS
as they would demand more wheat OF
potatoes for dollar. We confess freely
that we cannot understand why 25.S
grains of gold make a dollar and woulc
be pleased to have the Oregonian ol
some big daily that knows what dollar
is, and why it is, to rise up and explain

important Ballot Law Decision.

BosToN, MASS, September Judge
Lathrop, OF the Supreme Court, has
sent down a decision in an important
point OF law applicable to the Australian
ballot act. In the case before the Court
an effort was made by citizens OF Re
we're to ouSt member OF the Board OF
Selectmen, their most important point
being an allegation that several persons
who had no right to vote, voted for the
candidate. The defendants counsel
contended that under the Australian
ballot act 1t could not be objected after
an election that persons voted illegally,
where it did not appear that the votes
of such persons were challenged In the
manner provided by the act. Judge
Lathrop sustained the defendants de-
murrer, holding that where votes are
not challenged the legality cannot after
wards be subject Of inquiry.

the participants was known only as
"Poliy." He arrived at the Barge VI

in the battle that when Park Policeman

the scene "Polly" fell down unconscious
nj his feet and died in a few minutes.
His body was taken into the Barge

Barge Office until to-day. This morn
ing DR.. n. T. Jones, the ships physi-
clan, brought him down and turned him
over to Courtland G. Manning, United
States Treasurer of immigration at this
port.
While Mr.. Manning's back was turned
attending to some other duty, and be-
fore anything could be learned OF POL

and while hurrying across Battery
Park was set upon as already told. The
attacking party numbered at least hall
a dozen, but "Polly" fought valiantly
and only succumbed after desperate
fight. When Policemen Livingston ap-
peared the others hurried of. No ar
rests were made.

There have been other executions
since the occupation OF the city by the
Congressionalists, but they were OF
men who have been guilty OF stirring
I'D the people TO riot and acts OF incen-
diariSm.
The most prominent OF the men who
have thus far been killed on this ac-
count is Leon LAWN, editor OF El Com

distributing incendiary pamphlets. He
was executed without the semblance OF
q trial.

Park Place Disaster.

New YORK, September 1.-The in
quest into the cause of the death OF Sa-
rah Haegney and the others who lost
their lives in the Park Place disaster
was commenced to-day. Mrs. Grain,
the owner of the collapsed building, was
represented by counsel. Acting
District Attorney Redford and Assist
ant Attorney Townsend were present to
aid Coroner Hanly. Policeman Hanny,
who discovered the fire and sent out
the first alarm, was the first witness.
1t is expected that at least hundred
persons will be called TO testify before
the Coroner. The testimony OF wit
nesses so far examined confirm the
theory that there was no explosion; that
the building collapsed from the great
weight OF presses and other machinery
on the various floors.

One Man Who Discredits the Revolution
ary Story From Mexico.

ST. LOUIS, September THE sensa-
tional news from the City OF Mexico In
relation to an impending revolution,
was read with more than passing inter
est in st. Louis.
Mr.. George P. Miller, formerly pri-
vate secretary to Samuel j. Randall
when Speaker of the House Of Repre-
sentativeS, has an extensive acquaint-
ance with prominent Mexicans and
Mexican affairs. He pronounced the
charges against President Diaz as the
veriest bosh.
Gen. Francisco OlivareS, Of the Mexi-
can army, was in ST. Louis on June last,
and Mr.. Miller had quite lengthy con-
versation, during which the General
told him that President Diaz had not
antagonized any party; that his course
had been such as to win him friends OF
all political color. Gen. Olivares is
Catholic, and he had no hesitation in
saying that the President had done
nothing to arouse the enmity OF the
Clerical party.

A New York Jack Sheppard Escapes from
Durance Vile.
New YORK, September 1.-There was
a daring escape of prisoner this morn
ing from the prison attached to the JEFF
ferson Market Police Court under cir
cumstances which indicates extreme
carelessness If not completely on the
part of some one who had
charge of the prisoners. On August
II O'Hara stabbed and severely
wounded policeman, Thomas Mcguire,
of the West Twentieth street station,
who had attempted to arrest him. He
was arraigned in the jefferson Market
Police Court and committed for examin-
alton. Yesterday morning he was again
arraigncd and held for trial, and he was
to have been sent TO the prison this
morning TO await trial, but he took
French leave last night and escaped.
Somewhere about o'clock this morn
ing the keeper, Quirk, who had charge
of the second tier on which O'Hara was
confined, found that his cell, No. II,
was empty, and two-inch bars IN the
dfIae6 Oars Jars in the windo@ facing GraeaG99r-
wich avenue, between the second and
third tiers, had also been sawed through
and, tied to the remaining bars was a
sheet, which dangled out of the win
dow, making the connecting link, show
ing how O'Hara had got away. He
swung from the sheet to the roof of the
market, a distance of less than six feet,
and probably walked across it to the
stairs of the the elevated station at
Sixth and Greenwich avenues, and thus
escaped, without risking his neck by
dropping from the top of the wall. On
the tier near the window was found a
curved saw about ten inches long.
At a special meeting OF the board to-
day, from which President Porter was
absent, as he is on his vacation, Com
miSSioners Sheehy and Simmons passed

MIR. SMITH AS A PEER.
Some OF the Lords Think He Is Much Too
Plebeian.


LONDON, September An OPpUsi-
tion is developing among members OF
the House OF Lords to the proposed
elevation of Mr.. William Henry Smith
to the peerage. There are numerous
Smiths and number of Smythes among
the nobility of Great Britain, but Smith
is not the family name of any peer of
the realm. Mr.. Smith will also
have been the first news ven
der raised to the peerage, and,
although he has proved faithful and
effective leader in Parliament, some Of
the Lords seem to think that he is too
plebian for his proposed elevation and
ought to be satisfied with q baronetcy.
This, however, he certainly would not
accept. He has bought castle and
surrounded himself with domain and
tenantry all ready for baronial honors,
as soon as plain William Henry Smith
receives the royal patent giving
him seat in the House Of Peers
and the title of Lord Walmar, or what
ever his new name may be.
indicated as successor to Mr.. Smith in
the leadership Of the house. 1t is not
believed that this would interfere with
his direction OF Irish affairs. He Is con-
sidered the most brilliant and successful
member OF the ministry, and the Tories
and Liberal UnionistS claim that his
Irish policy has been success.
Sir John Eldon Gorst will probably
be Postmaster-G General. His promotion
to that Office would relieve Viscount
Cross and the Government from the en-
barrassment caused by Sir Johns frank
criticism OF Indian affairs and at the
same time insure an able direction for
the postoflice.
The social changes going on In the
British army are brought into notice
by a peculiar agitation. Since it be-
came possible for private soldiers TO
rise from the ranks TO commission IL
is common thing for scions Of the
gentry and nobility to enlist as private
soldiers, and gradually rise by examina-
tions to be officers. 1t is we'll under
stood that these young gentlemen will
not remain in the ranks very long and
that birth rather than merit is regarded
in promotion.
But while in the ranks the twigs Of
nobility are terribly CALLED by the social
rules laid down for the government OF
the army. Up to recently the officers
had their mess, the sergeants their
mess, and the corporals and privates
their canteen. In order to draw the line
more clearly between non-commis-
stoned officers and privates, Secretary
OF War Stanhope has established also
corporals' mess. At hotels and resorts
in barrack towns similar distinctions
are observed. private soldiers being
denied refreshmentf at places frequent
ed by their superiors. A vigorous pro-
test as to the town part OF the system IS
being made oy the gentlemen soldiers,
and their noble relatives are sustaining
the agitation.
