a STRANGE Coincidence.

Last Monday Mrs. Geo. Benadom re-
ceived letter from her sister, Mrs. Paul
Arthur, of Savannah, Missouri, stating
that their little child bad died. A
strange part of this sad affair is that Mr..
and Mrs. Arthur's child died on the
same day of the week and month, with
the same disease, and was buried on the
same day and at the same hour of Mr..
and Mrs. Benadom's child. Both child
ren were also near the same age. Mrs.
B. was not aware of the death of her
sisters child until last Monday, and we
presume her sister was also in ignorance
of the sickness or death of her Oregon
nephew. This is, indeed, a strange co

Fears of an EARLY Frost.

Fears of an early frost in North Da-
kota have had the effect of making the
farmers of that state take preventive
measures for the protection of their
crops. Nearly every farmer has stacked
up piles of straw, etc., ready to set fire
to in case of frost. The smoke from
these fires, 1t is believed, will keep the
frost from doing any damage, if frost
should come.

The I've Popular Comedians TO Join
Efforts In 1898.
Manager Fred G. Berger, who is in
the city. states that after the next
theatrical season that the famous
comedians, w. j. Florence and Sol.
Smith Russell, may make a joint tour
of the country in repertoire of legiti-
mate comedies. The proposition was
made by Mr.. Florence in New York a
few days ago. Mr.. Florence, as 10 we'll
known, has been travelling with the
veteran Joseph Jefferson for the past
two years, and their pleasant and
profitable co-partnership will continue
gether probable that it is Mr.. Jetfer-
sons intention to pass the sere and
yellow years of his life in the quiet en-
ioyment which the fame and fortune OF
his remarkable and successful career on
the stage ent,.le him to. Mr.. Florence,
who has long held the favor and
homage of the many who truly ap-
preciate the earnest and pure develop
ment and presentation of standard
comedy, has indeed paid COM

sell is an entertainer" probably re-
membering HIM from his antics and
character sketches, which we're nimita-
bic in their way, when the writer's built
plays about him to suit his delightful
gifts of mimicry. Mr.. Russell has DEM
onstrated that he can create character
if that character comes in contact with
his genius. His Noah Vale in "A Poor
Relation" is evidence indisputable OF
this fact. He is yet in the prime and
vigor of his powers, and is stirred with
the thought and ambition to create
character. The combination of Flor
ence and Russell would doubtless be
congenial, artistically happy and re-
munerative. Mr.. Berger, whose rela-
uon with the eminent comedian is
more like that Of brother than star,
does not look with dlsspproval upon
the prospect OF his star joining hands

Eject OF Russia's Attempt TO Float .
Loan ON Financial Circles.
New YORK. May l6.-The marked in
trinsic buoyancy. of the stock market
continues to be held in check by the
large special exports of specie, and
hence it becomes important to under
stand the cause and the probable dura-
ton of the gold outflow and the bearing
it should legitimately have upon conf
dcncea and the course of the local money
market. Primarily, the exports seem
to have arisen from the urgcncies of
Russian finance. The Gar has for
some time sought to effect large loan,
first to provide Tor the payment OF ma
turing loans, next TO construct exten-
s:ye lines of railroad, and also tc enable
him to construct immense military
works in menace to Germany and Aus
tria. The Rothechilds recently under
took the negotiations, but, partly on
account of the Cars hot persecution OF
the Jews and partly 1t is supposed be-
cause there was good reason 10 suspect
that the loan was also intended for con-
templated early hostilities against the
Triple Alliance, the great banking house
withdrew from the transaction. This
was hard blow at the credit, the
prestige and the political ambitions of
the Gar, and whether in revenge or from
financial necessity docs not exactly
appear-Russia has since been drawing
heavily upon the 100 to l25 million dol
lars of deposits which, somewhat mex.
vi sh n al inn n
with the great banks aud bankers of
Europe. The consequent large and
sudden drain upon the European
stocks OF gold. coming close upon the
deep disturbance of confidence arising
from the financial complications in
South America, has caused Continental
banks to rccoup themselves Tor the loss
by getting gold from every possible
source; and naturally the drain has
been especially directed towards the
United States. The panic IN Lisbon,
the uneasiness at Madrid, and the
alarm in Paris, during the past week
are illustrations of the way in which
these causes are acting upon European
banking interests. The trouble in
those cities, however. seem 10 have been
adjusted, and that fact has partially
restored confidence. Nevertheless, the
situation is still shrouded IN uncer-
tainty. There is an absence of ipfor-

eulremeDt that the state shall appoint

the former case each individual voter

In the latter case, he can only vote for

who represents one OF the two add
tional districts into which the state 10

In the next electoral college Michigan

In the latter case, such might not be .
fact, for the Will OF the people of the
state, that 10, the state itself, might
favor a person for President and yet
their choice not find full expression,
because of divided electoral vote IN

Michlgan's fourteen electoral votes III
the next electoral college, If eight OF
them should be cast for Democratic
nominee for President, and SIX OF then,
should he cast for Republican nomi-
nee for President, the state would, IN
fact, have only an effective force OF two

electoral votes were equally divided be-
tween the Presidential nominees. the
state would have no effective expression
whatever in electing q President. al
though there might be very large
majority of the people in favor OF
particular nominee. And such might
be the situation. as long as Michigan
voted for Presidential electors by con-
gressional districts, and the other states,
as states, voted for their full number Of
Presidential electors. If, then, votes
cast for electors individually represent
ing congressional districts will not even
nave the same effect as votes cast for
the full number of electors TO which
the state. as a state, is entitled, then
such a manner of appointment of
electors is too plainly unconstitutional
for discussion. Any manner of ap-
pointment. whereby the will of the
whole people of the state, that is. the
