Going Down the Outside of a Buildin,

A crowd OF Madison square promenaders
was earnestly contemplating the northern
wall Of the Hotel Bartholdi Tuesday. This
is what they saw:
A gentleman in a red blazer was coming
down rope hand over hand with the agiI-
ity of sailor or South American mon
key He was an athletic young man with
a blond mustache and blue eyes, and every
movement of his limbs and body indicated
strength.
The crowd held its breath as the young
man descended. When the venturesome
athlete reached the sidewalk he was seen
to stagger. But he held to an iron railing,
and shouted up to four men who were look
ing from the window above:
"Ill bet you 1 can come up the same
wayr'
There was no response. The crowd
closed around the athlete. He gazed
around at the faces of his audience and
then turned and went into the side door of
the hotel.
The four heads above disappeared from
view. The crowd slowly dispersed under
the direction of park policeman. The
rope disappeared. 1t was hauled into the
seventh story window. All was quiet on
Twentythird street.
The red blazer gentleman was promi-
nent young Canadian, returned from Eng
land, where he has been playing on the
Canadian football team. He arrived in
New York week ago, and has been cele-
brating his return ever since. He consid-
cred the Bartholdi episode bagatelle, and
said he could have climbed back again
with ease.-New York Advertiser.

Climb,nx mount.in. IN iceland.

The highest mountain in Iceland was
assembled last summer for tho first time
The successful mountaineer was MIR. =.
W. w. Howell, who was encouraged
when ne started for Iceland by informa-
ton from the Royal Geographical so
ciety that the difficulties IN the way OF
climbing the Oroefa Jokull were sup
posed to be- insnperable The mountain
is near the southeast coast, and is an i'm
posing sight from the sea. Mn Howell
made an attempt in 1890 to climb the
mountain, but was defeated by the
weather.
On Aug. II last he left Sandfell, q
little settlement on the coast near the
base of the mountain, at a. m, when
of course it was broad daylight in that
latitude? He was accompanied by two
Icelanders as perters. He struck the
snow slopes at 10 a. m, and IL took him
nine hours and half 20 reach the top Of
the mountain whose sides are quite steep
and covered with ice and snow.
Though this mountain Is the highest
in Iceland, its elevation was found by
Mr.. Howell TO be only $500 feet, bat
owing 70 the latitude the phenomena Of
the snow slopes compare most fsvOrably
with those of mountains 10000 feet high
in Switzerland. Mr.. Howell says the
icicle galleries in the upper crevasses are
particularly fine. This is undoubtedly
one of the most successful feats Of
mountain climbing Of the year, for the
mountain presents as many difficulties
as any OF the Alps, with two or three ez-
ceptioDs. It is comparatively easy 10 as

The play which he has written for Nine.
Bernhardt is taken from Italian history Of
the Sixteenth century. 1t tells story full
of love and intrigue, and concludes with a
very dramatic scene. Both the hero and
the heroine are in prison and are to die,
the hero having killed a man in defense of
the heroine's honor. A priest offers to aid
her to escape, but as he will not also help
her lover to freedom, she refuses. If he is
to die, she does not care to live. But when
she is taken to the place of execution she
finds that her hero has himself escaped by
other means, and she dies alone
1t is said that the play gives Nine. Bern

EDITORS KICKER: I see that you prom
Use another paper, so take the emporium
ity of infiicting myself upon your readers
Advocates of inflated currency often claim
that the amount in circulation Is much
less than it really is. Secondly that at
period of the past it was greater than tne
facts of the case show. The last reports OF
the secretary of the treasury place the cur
rency at above S23 per capita. Many es-
Inmates oft at its greatest expansion was
$50. per capita. This is doubtful for, II
taken at its real purchasing
value, it was much less; the
specie had been boarded, retired, driven
out by deprecated paper currency
and the nominal value of the paper was
much greater than its real, so that prOba-
! bly, S35 per capita would cover the full
representative purchasing power.
Now one thing must be taken into con-
sheraton, when problems of the kind now
before rs are presented, and that Is
the great amount of business which is
done by exchange in which no money IS
required. By far the larger part and near
~ all of the enormous transactions OF
business between cities are of that class.
Not half Of the money is necessary now
bAoN "oo ca ON6u IHSuty gcdlS SAhOO
to change the same amount of property.
Lastly money is only measure. Now If
you had all the grain in the world and
desired to move from one place to another,
cars would be necessary, but you would
not have to have enough cars to hold all
the grain at one time. One car would do
it if filled and empt1ed enough Neither
does it require currency to the full value
of all the property in the world for it to
change hands. One dollar would DO it if
it changed hands often enough. We don't
want it all to change in one day, nor
in two days. One dollar purchases 1855
worth of property in one year and pays
just that amount of debts if it changes
hands but once every day. If every
dollar now in circulation In the Q. S.
were to change hands but once
each day for a year 100000, 100000, !
in debts could be paid.
1t is all bosh about printing or, / might |
say coming, beyond the legitimate needs
OF business. If all the gold and silver in |
the world were coined, if all the printing |
presses were empowered to print legal
tender, it would not clothe single naked |
one, would not produce single loaf of
bread nor pair OF shoes, blade CT grass
nor bushel of wheat, nor would you or
any one else procure the necessaries of
life for one iota less of labor than now.

business or pleasure it will be well to re-
member that the Burlington Route is still

familiar with the fact that over this line
runs the famous solid vestibule ELI"
