Silver From Spain Very Slow in Getting
Into Circulation.
HAVANA, Nov. 26.-Owing to the prevailing
monetary difficulties much Inconvenience
and loss have been suffered in all trades,
the workers at which have been hitherto
paid in bank bills. The employers pretend
to pay their hands in silver according to the
quotation for gold, reckoning each silver
dollar for 81 35 in bank bills, and employees
are willing to receive it only for 81, at which
rate the Treasury is refunding the bills. The
smaller bills are getting scarcer and scarcer,
and there is general complaint about the
dillatory manner in which the Treasury Is
putting into circulation the silver and cop
per coins now being received from Spain.

A Warning to the Conspirators Who Would

Anarchy could not introduce more fright
full consequences than Will follow the des.
perate attempt Of the Democrats to steal
the state Senate OF New York, entirely fr-
respective Of the votes cast or the law for
their counting. 1t must bc prevented at
any hazard, for 1t contemplates the literal
enthrallment OF every honest citizen in
subJectfon to vicious rulers whose strength
lies among the criminal elements OF the
party tney now control. The Empire state
would be chained to Tammany Hall as per-
manently as the Democratic party Is riveted
to the solid South, and be forever unable to
give honest expression to the wishes OF its
citizens at the polls. Ballot reform would
be trampled under foot, and the system of
official peculation which prevails in this city
introduced IN every branch OF the state
Government.
In order to accomplish their fell purpose

No fraudulent Legislature will be allowed to

Another Total Eclipse VIII Give tho As
tronomers a Chance to Study It.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-In his annual re-
port to the Secretary of the Navy, Com
modore Dewey, chief Of the Bureau Equip
ment, summarizes the work of his bureau
during the past fiscal year as follows: Dur
ing the past fiscal year So vessels have been
either wholly or partly equipped under this
Bureau at an expenditure Of labor and ma
terials Of $685., ,239. Commodore Dewey in
closes the reports of the Superintendents Of
the Naval Observatory and the Nautical
Almanac office, and of the Naval Inspector
of electric lighting.
The Superintendent OF the observatory
says: "On April 13, ls93 a total solar eclipse
occurs under circumstances 80 favorable
that its observation is extremely desirable.
The central line of the shadow sweeps
across South America, the Atlantic ocean,
and the northern part of Africa, and the
duration of totality is minutes 42 seconds
near Ceara, Brazil, and minutes 10 seconds
near Bathurst, Senegambia. Many Of the
most important questions relating to the
constitution of the sun can be studied only
during total eclipses, and, as the whole time
available for that purpose is only about
three hours in q century, the necessity for
utilizing every available eclipse is evident
if we are ever to comprehend that wonder
full orbit upon which the very existence of
the human race depends. 1t is hoped that
means may be provided for sending at least
one party to Ceara, and, If possible, another
to Bathurst"

Two murders unon the Same dav in

Two murders upon the same day in Illi-
nois offer some comparisons and contrasts.
In one case, an old man named Atterbury
was shot to death by his sons because he
proposed to marry second time. In the
other, a man-John Norris-who had married
a second time, was killed by his step-daugh-
ters, who had opposed the match. 1t is a grim
thought that there might have been an
economy in murders had the former men,
toned man instead of the latter been per-
mitted by circumstances to have married
into the family with the delectable daugh-
ters. But Illinois law will probably teach
the murderers in both cases that murder is
not a necessity, and therefore not an econ
omY in the sociological sense.

HAUNTED BY A SPOOK.
An Apparition That Bothers Trainmen on .
Massachusetts Road.

BLACKSTONE, MASS, Nov. 26,-[SpeciaLl-
The Providence and Worcester Railroad
has a spook which has it's headquarters at
Farnumsville. Night after night, when the
late train from Providence to Worcester
rushed by certain spot, it is said this
phantom appears suddenly in the glow of
the headlight, and before the apparent dan
ger can be averted, the engine brushes into
the sombre gray figure in front.
There is no shock, and passengers know
not of what is passing. The train is brought
to a standsrill, and the trainmen look for the
mangled body. Instead, however, the form
slowly retreats into the shadows of the for
est which lines the track, and then disap-
pears in the blackness of the night.

The Last Sad Rites Over the Remains OF
Indiana's Chief Executive.

The Last Sad Rites Over the Remains Of
Indiana's Chief Executive.
MOUNT VERNON. IND, Nov. 26.-At o'clock
the remains of Governor Hovey were moved
to the corridor Of the Court House. The
bells Of the city began to ring as the coffin
was carried out Of the Hovey homestead,
and continued to sound during the entire
forenoon. The remains rested in the Court
House until 11:20 O'clock and it is estimated
that during that time 10000 viewed the
corpse. Upon the body being taken back to
the homestead a military guard was with.
drawn and the dead Governor WAS left alone
with the family for one hour.
At 2:30 O'Clock the house was opened for
the funeral services. The services were
simple. The sermon was preached by
Governor Ira J. Chase. The Governor took
for his text that question of JOB, IF man
die, shall he live again?" and the answer
from Corinthians, "Behold I show you q
mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed in a moment in the
twinkling of an eye" The central thought
of the discourse was that this life does not
end all. Interment at the cemetry closed
the exercises.

SIMULTANEOUSLY with the opening OF
Mills boom by Carlisle's strong letter of en-
dorsement comes an all around attack upon
Crisp's tariff record and a hue and cry that
if he is chosen Speaker the party will be
placed in the attitude of favoring protec-
tion. 1t is fact that he was great admirer
and strong friend of Randalls, but in the
Carlisle-Randall Speakership contest, when
the issue was drawn upon the tariff, he said
that he could not support him-and he did
not. If Judge Crisp is q protectionist his
tariff principles are not strong enough to
keep him in the ranks as Randalfs did.

The Derivation Of Dollar.

Few persons have ever troubled them
selves to think Of the derivation Of the woru
dollar. 1t is from the German thai valley,
and came into use in this way some 800 years
ago There is little silver mining city or
district in Northern Bohemia called Joach-
imsthal or Joachim's Valley. The reigning
Duke of the region authorized this city in
the sixteenth century to coin q silver piece
which was called Joachimsthaler." The
word Joachim" was soon dropped and the
name "thaler" only retained. The piece
went into general use in Germany and also
in Denmark, where the orthography was
changed to ''daler,' whence it came into
English, and was adopted by our forefathers
with some changes in the spelling.
