BROOKLYN, June 24.-In the park on

work for the abolition of slavery. Low
said: BY his dauntless spirit he made
good at all times the words which he
shouted in the teeth of Isaiah Rvnders
ana his mob when they broke up an abo-
luton meeting in New York. In Brook
Iyn we have free speech. Many another
note he struck on the harp strings of the
human heart; but no one will doubt that
his passion for freedom was the MASTER
passion Of his life. Just as Beecher left
Lane sSem1nary movements were cuI-
mlnatlng which divided Presbyterianism
OF that day into the old and new schools,
Beecher, though a sound orthodox. was
refused a license to preach, because his
father belonged to the new school, and he
hlmSen also declined to subscribe to the
old. In lS4I he came to the newly organ
IZed Plymouth Church of Brooklyn.
What manner of man he was at the
time appeared in his first sermon, when
he said to those present: IF you come
into this congregation, want you to un-
derstand distinctly that will preach the
Gospel as1 apprehend it, whether men will
hear it or whether they will forbear, and
that l will apply it without stint, and
sharply and strongly, to the overthrow of

A strange Woman Attempts to Stab n
Young Shadowgraphfst.
New YORK, June PA dagger driven
by the hand of determined woman was
aimed at the heart of Henry Caseman lust
before midnight Tuesday. That the man
if still alive is due to his quick eye and
steady hand, but he bears a slight wound
on the left side.
Caseman is a youthful shadowgraphist,
and has been connected recently with
the Marks international Vaudeville Com
pany. He arrived in this city Tuesday
morning on his way to Europe The
woman is described as a handsome bru-
nette, and tastefully dressed, and is quite
refined in demeanor. She was evidently
a stranger in this city, and after the mel0-
dramatic incident was put into a car and
driven away.
Caseman left Chicago in March to fill a
siX-weeks' engagement in the San Fran
cisco Theater. He only did four
weeks time, and the curtailment
was due to the woman who at
tempted his life. He had been in San
Francisco two weeks when he met her.
She spoke to him as he was leaving the
Orpheum Theater. She pretended to
recognize him as an old acquaintance, and
insisted that he must go with her. He
saw her several times, rebuffing her each
time. She never demanded money,
and no one seemed to know her in San
Francisco.
Becoming annoyed by her importuni-
ties, Caseman went to Washington and
Montana, when she again turned up, and
from that time on she followed him
closely until Tuesday. She was never
violent until he met her in Chicago. She
upbraided him on the street with an in
tended elopement with another woman.
Caseman sailed to-day for Europe.

SILVER PROBLEM.
Ex-Comptroller Knox Replies TO Sem
49,. c-4,.-..-.A. .---->>.,,A

INSDAISS W cSh-
ator Stewards Argument.
NEW YORK, June A.-John l.. Knox,
ex-Comptroller of the Currency, answers
Senator Stewards argument in favor OF
free coinage. In the course of his reply,
Mr.. Knox says:
1.-THE silver mines under the present
law, have sure market for $50, 900, ,000
worth of silver every year, for the Gov
ernment buys it all at price above that
on the London market. Under free
coinage law the Government will cease
to be apurchaser of silver. Every holder
OF bullion can take IL to the Mint and
have 1t manufactured into stamped dol
lars. The result will be the silver STAN
dard. These stamped pieces Of silver
VIII have purchasing power of the
value of the bullion therein, and no
more. Our neighbor, the Republic of
Mexico, enjoys the benefits of free coin
age, and its dollar pieces is legal tonder
for all amounts. The purchasing power
of the Mexican dollar at homo and abroad
| is exactly equal to it's bullion value.
IF the result OF a Free Coinage Act is
the silver standard, the silver miner will
| lose his chief purchaser, which is the
Government. Silver will be worth even
less in coin than in fine silver bars. In
brief, the Silver Coinage Act, so far as the
silver miner is concerned, will kill tho
goose that lays the golden egg
THE Bank Of France holds $3.50, ,000, coo
of silver coin, which was manufactured
years ago when the price of bullion was
at least 20 per cent. higher than now 1t
holds its silver at loss of 500, 900, ,000
Other European banks still hold a large
amount of silver at great loss which was
purchased many years ago.
IF the advocates of free coinage are
correct in their theory-that we can open
our mints to silver and yet maintain gold
payments-then the banks of Europe will
have an opportunity, as silver advances
| in value, gradually to transfer their silver
boards from their own vaults to the
vaults of our Treasury and recoupe a
large portion of their loss. 1t is plain,
therefore, that as silver advances in value
the foreign bullion will cross the ocean to
| realize the handsome profit so long as the
tempting offer is held out by such foolish
statutes as an Act providing for the free
coinage of silver"

FREIGHT RATE ON RAIsINs.
Reason Why Producers Are so Anx-
iouS for a Reduction,

Reason Why Producers Are so Anx-
iouS for Reduction.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 24.-The South
ern Pacific's explanation of the reason
why raisin men are so anxious for a re-
duction in rates is this: Last year Eastern
dried-fruit crops were short, and prices
on this coast were raised accordingly.
Large quantities of raisins were pur-
chased here, and high prices were de-
manded and paid at first in the East.
Later in the year the crop estimates of
the East were found to have been under
estimated and the price of California
ralsins fell, entailing loss to those who
bought here at high figures. r
The rate on raiSinS was 81 40 per hun
dred pounds in carload lots during the
fall, and on January 22d, of this year, a
rate Of 81 30 went into effect. The freight
department claims, however, that this
rate was not thought to be heavy at all,
because great bulk of the shipments
had already gone forward. A carload of
raislns Is much more valuable than a car
load of canned goods, and so can afford
to pay higher rate, and the increase was
made TO equaliZe the rates and establish a
fa1rer proportion between the prices
asked for the shipment of different classes
of goods and the risk taken in moving
them. The rate for raisins has, however.
been fixed at 81 80, and the demand of
shippers to have the old rate of last fall
established is, SO the company alleges.
only an attempt on the part of the raisin
men to recoup themselves for the slight
losses felt at the close of the last season.

keystone Bank Stock.

PHILADELPHIA, June 24.-The Investi-
eating Committee of the Council this
afternoon examined Receiver Yardley of
the keystone National Bank He identi-
fed 2,5l6 shares of alleged over-issued
stock. 1t originally stood in the name of
John Z. Lucas, but was transferred bv
him to a number of persons 1t subse-
quently transpired in the testimony of
another witness that persons TO whom the
stock was transferred were merely
'strawmen," whose names were used
when the stock was pledged to borrow
money on. Wanamaker's name does not
appear on the stock ledger as owner of
any stock. Yardley had no explanation
to offer why some of the fraudulent
stock, said to have been placed in Wana-
makers hands during Lucas lifetime,
bears date of 1890, nearly two years after
Lucas death.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-It is stated on

the proposition. The only ones so far
opposing it are certain New York bank

ing Treasury officials is that the PROPOSE
ton will be adopted.
