Roses for a Pretty Girl.
New York Times.

A certain young man in New York
went out to call the other evening upon
a young woman of his acquaintance
whom he especially delighted to honor.
He was quite young man, and his ex-
perience with florists had been neither
deep nor varied. It occurred to him,
however, on this particular evening to
stop at flower merchants and choose
some blossoms for the pretty girl to-
ward whose home he was vending his
way.
"Give ne bunch of rose " he said
carlessly to the man of nosegays.
"Yes, sir; how many please?'
"Oh, a couple Of dosen or So"
"In few moments they were ready,
and the purchaser was feeling in his
vest pocket tor two dollar bill to pay
for them. How much?' be asked
before the bill made Its appearance.
Eighteen dollars, sir" replied the
florists assistant, with what, his hearer
said afterward, seemed diabolical glib
ness.
The young man felt giddy for mo-
ment. He had unwittingly selected
roses that were IS cents apiece. But,
as has been said, he was very young,
and it seems to him a very serious
thing to go down before that flower
clerk. So he paid his money and took
his bouquet. "And," he says, 81 spent
the next hour watching pretty girl
nibble and chew upSlS worth Of roses" ."

DROPPED DEAD AT A BANQUET.
The Sudden Death of Secretary Window
in New York.

NEW YORK, January 29.-Just as
Secretary Window concluded his
speech at the beard Of trade dinner to-
night, he grew deadly pale, bis eyes
shut and opened spasmodically, and he
fell on his chair. Thence he slipped to
the floor, where he lay unconscious. The
most intense excitement Immediately
ensued. Judge Arnoux, Ex-Secretary
Bayard and Capt. Snow were the first
of several who ran to Mr.. Windom's
aid. They found him apparently un-
conscious. They lifted him gently and
carried him into an ante-room, where
several physicians proceeded at
once to his assistance. The at
tack resulted in death. .....
Senator Window left Washington
to-day in apparent good health, to at
tend the banquet Of the New York
Board of Trade and transportation,
where he was to respond to the toast,
"Our country's prosperity dependent
upon its instruments Of commerce" ;"
His address was prepared in advance,
and embraced about five thousand
words.
VIM. Window was born in Belmont
County, Ohio, on May 10, 1927. He re-
ceived an academic education, studied
law at Mt. Vornon, Ohio, and was ad-
mitted to the Bar in 1850 In 1852 he
became prosecuting attorney for Knox
County, but in 1855 he removed 10
Minnesota, and soon afterwards b. ;Sas
chosen to Congress from that State as
Republican, serving from 1859 to
1869. In that body he served two
terms as chairman Of the committee on
Indian affairs, and also was at the head
of special committee to visit theWest-
ern tribes in 1865, and Of that on con-
duct of commissioner of Indian affairs
in 1887. In 1870 he was appointed to
the United States Senate to fill the un-
expired term of Daniel S. Norton, de-
ceased, and he was subsequently, chos-
en- for the term that ended in 1877. He
was reelected for the one that closed
in 1888, and resigned in 1881 to enter
the Cabipet Of President Garfield as
Secretary of the Treasury, but retired
on the accession Of President Arthur in
the same year, and was elected by the
Minnesota Legislature to serve the re-
mainder Of his term in the Senate. In
that body Window acted as chairman
Of the committees on appropriations,
foreign affairs and transportation. His
most noted act during his Senatorial
career was the introduction and advo-
cacy of a bill to purchase territory in
the Northwest and coloniZe negroes.
He was appointed Secretary of the
Treasury by President Harrison and
has since served in that capacity.

8. The plan here outlined seeks, in
the first place, to bring to bear on pro-
fessors the enliveniug influences Of
healthy, friendly competition, by with
drawing these temptations to formal
and perfunctory teaching that must
prevail in ally system, that, by forcing
unconditional attendance upon certain
courses on the part of students, en-
courages Incidence and inefficiency in
in the professors thus mistakenly
hedged about. In the the second place,
this plan, recognizing the necessity Of
arousing interest and stimulating zeal
in the student, offers, with the proper
guarded restrictions, such choice Of
stuii's as shall enable him to crafty
his tastes and exercise his abilities in
such directions as shall seem to him
most pleasant and profitable.

work leading to the old and universal
ly recognized degree Of master-of-arts

vided for.
II. The work Of formulating and az
ranging the details of the courses and
of perlecting the methods obstruction
outlined above should be referred to
the Faculty-the report Of this work
when completed, to be submitted for
the approval Of the Board.
The above report is, of course, sub
ject to changes by the board of trustees
when it meets. The committee de-
cided on adjournment, not to give out
any details IF the meeting.

THE ALLIANCE BANK.
Directors Elected-No Officers Iet Elected.
Record, January 29.]

The statement was made yesterday
that the trustee stockholders Of the
State Alliance Exchange were having
heated and lengthy discussion about
the organization of the bank. 1t was
known then that trouble was brewing
in the camp and up to the hour Of ad-
journment last night there was hot
fight gong on between two factions.
Finally, after hours Of wrsngling,
the bank was partially organized by
the election Of the following directors:
J. A. Sigh. D. P. Duncan, J. T. Dun
can, J. w. Shaw, J. W. Stokes, j. +.
Tindal and w. Il. Zimmerman.
Subsequently the directors held a
meeting but the trouble tinued there
and they adjourned without electing
any officers or making any arrange
ments for the establishment Of the
bank. The bank matter, therefore,
stands in statu quo until another meet
ing, which. will very likely be held in
the spring.
There is strong opposition to the
bank-so much of it in fact that the
Alliancemen refused to give out any
thing fo~ publication.

THE BANK ASSURED.
Especial to News and Courier.


COLUMBIA, January 29.-Reference
was made in the News and Courier a
few days ago 70 the fact that there was
little hitch in the circumstances, or
rather the progress, of the Alliance
Bank for this place. Last night one of
the directors stated the facts to q re-
porter for the News and Courier, but
requested that nothing af the clrcum-
stances be mentioned at that time. Il
was learned to-day, however, from AL
other director that there is no reason,
this morning, why the circumstances
should not be published. He said that
it was certainty, to begin with, that
the bank would he established, and
that the directors had been elected with
that distinct understanding. The de-
lay in the election of president and
the other officers should not be taken
as q suppoSition that there were any
material obstacles in the way, and that
an arrangement agreeable to all parties
would certainly be reached in less than
month. 1t appears that the charter
for the new institution does not cover
a contingency, which is to be arranged
by consent. There are about twenty
thousand dollars now to the credit OF
the exchange or rather the property OF
its many stockholders. This amount
is in the hands of the State Treasurer,
but it is understood that it will be trans
ferred to the new bank and that when
it begins it will be with the good will
of ali the Alliance people. 1t is also
we'll understood that Mr.. D. ?. Duncan
will be elected the president Of the
bank.

plies clipped dollars at the cost of reducing
the purchasing power of every dollar. The
moment the wage-earners of the country
are made to see this clearly the Democracy
Is the party of free silver is doomed to
certain defeat
The charge that the Republican party
demonetized silver by the act of 1873 and
that Stree coinage" is but q return to that
point of departure, is thus answered by
Democratic Congressman Harter, of Ohio,
who led the minority in their opposition
to unlimited coinage at the recent state
convention of the Democracy.
The actual demonstration of silver was sc-
complishsd by natural causes. Silver had risen
TO practically premium of 8 cents on the dol
lar. and was out Of circulation except In the
subsidiary coinage which had to be debassd in
order to hold it.
We coined less than 100000 silver dollars in
the whole year preceding February IL, 1879
The fact is that from 1923 down TO 1878, the total
coinage of silver dollars was less than we coin
in two months now; but about 100000 silver
against SSH 10000 gold. Now, If trifing pre-
MUM of per cent. would drive silver out, Is
must be easy livery easy, almost kinder
garten task, for Us to see that unlimited coinage
OF silver and gold, with the latter worth any
where from Is to "a per cent. more than silver,
would drive all the gold out Of circulation,
cause 9 contraction Qnstead of expansion or in
crease) ofthe currency, which would ruin more
men than the civil war, the war of 1876. the var
OF 1872 and the Revolution killed. We have
about $500 0oo In gold out of 81 500 900 OF
circulating money. Drive out the gold by this
Senate free coinage bill and you viii have, say
5000 CO., 900 left The man who now owes any
considerable money would be ruined beyond
hope of financial resurrection.

New York Times, July 81.
Mr.. Clarkson discussed the recent newspaper
changes in New York, and while on this subject
was asked with reference to the many stories
which have bean In circulation affecting his own
plans for owning and editing . newspaper in
the East or South the latest story having located
him at Atlanta, Ga.
"They have had me in New York, in Chicago,
in St. Paul, in Seattle, in st. Louis in San Fran
cisco, and in several other places, believe"
said he, shut they are ell wrong. The stories
started about the time left the postofice de-
partment Somebody got my plans badly mixed.

ment one year only, and then take two years for
travel. All the rumors that have been trying
to start or buy papers in New York or elsewhere
are idle have attempted to buy no paper and
have made no proposition toward buying one.
Some propositions have been made TO me en- the
subject, but that is al" Mr.. Clarkson said that
he had been SO long q newspaper man that he
found 1t hard to get away from the idea Of re-
turning to the profession, but no plans had been
mstured up to the present time.
Mr.. Clarkson said the work Of forming the Re-
publican clubs WAS progressing at q satisfactory
rate. He firmly believed that the social advant-
ages which they afforded was one OF the strong
incentives which led young men to organize
them, and he advanced the novel proposition
in the Vest was calculated TO develop q state of
things which made some such social feature
especially attractive. The government survey
of Thanksgiving out the roads on the square
system-tsndea to prevent the forming of small
"neighborhoods,' to isolate the farmers and
render young men lonesome from Lack of So
cie.y. He said:
an New England, and generally east OF the
Western Reserve, the roadways follow the nat
ursl geography.of the country. They turn and
twist and run crosswise. Farms are shaped sc-
cording to the same rule Of convenience, and
the result is little viii Iges here and there. In
the West the land is laid out in sections, the
roads are located by the points of the compass,
and the farms are staked of like q checker
board. The settler gets Alarm of perhaps 800
acres, puts his house in the center of It, and, az
a result, his nearest neighbor is q long distance
from him. Social life to any great extent La i'm
possible. The meeting of q club for the discus
sion of political or other questions, under these
circumstances, Is hailed with delight by the
young men who live within sight OF the light in
the sehoolhouss where the meeting is held.
This fact will be great help in organizing clubs
OF any shade OF political belief. We are willing
to let the clubs be organized for free and fair
discussion of political questions. and may the

In Lincoln county 10 that of James Bassett of
Egypt. A Times man was privileged visit to
this magnificent forest of fine growing fruit
trees . few days ago, which covers an area of
40 acres, and in numbers runs up to 1900
and several hundred-in all stages OF
growth and embracing almost every va
riety Of fruit known to this country. This
orchard would be credit TO any fruit growing
regions in any of the fruit growing states. Mr..
Bassett has already marketed over ton of cher
ries this spring, from which he has realized very
handsomely. They are the first ripe fruit of the
season, and are but . small fraction of the other
fruit that will be ready to put on the market Q
few weeks later. To grow such an orchard Mr..
Bassstt has taken great pains, expended much
money and given years OF close attention, but
has q rich reward in the success he has attained
and the money value 1t has today. For several
