BROOKLYN, Feb 13-The annual din
ner Of the Union League club in memory
of Abraham Lincoln was given at the
club house last night. President Francis
II. Wilson presided. Seated at the guests
table with him were Hon. W. p. Hep
burn, of Iowa, and Hon. J. G.. Burrows,
of Michigan. Hon. John + Wise, of Nir-
ginia, spoke of abraham Lincoln" He
said: "Above all others Lincoln will be
remembered for all time to come, by friend
and foe alike, las the great and almost lone
ly helmsman of the Union in the hour of
its peril, who steered by the unfailing
light of a single constellation; who never
veered a point, and who was always guard
ed by his self-made chart, with malice
toward none and charity for all. ~
Burrows on Majority Rule.
Representative Burrows spoke OF the
necessity of the protection of the rule of
the majority and charged the South with
stopping at no crime that would assist in
the overthrow of popular government He
also charged that the Michigan Democrats
in the legislature, after giving their
word that no advantage would be taken of
the absence of Republicans at the state
convention, violated their word and during
that absence unseated two Republicans in
order to make a success of the Michigan
izing" project.

PLANNING A SCARE.

al Factor in the Plan-Outside Views of
the Project.
CHICAGO, Feb. lS.-"Our house will APP
ply tomorrow to the New York Stock Ex-
change listing committee, TO list gold
bullion" said Francis ]. Kenneth last
night. 1T was through the efforts largely
of Kennett, Hopkins & Co. that silver
bullion was listed When we first pro
posed it the idea was pooh-poohed and was
opposed for year Silver bullion, how
ever, was listed and has been speculated
In ever since, sometimes on very large
scale"
"What would be the effect Of the listing
gold bullion by the New York stock Ex-
changer" he was asked.
Predicts a Premium on Gold.
Il think that gold would sell al q pre-
MUM the instant it was listed on the
New York exchange"
what sort OF a reply 60 YOU auticiDate
from your application 10 the listing com
mitteel"
The committe will probably refuse tie
application. Wall street will probably
pooh-pooh it as it did the first effort to
list silver. But am firmly convinced that
gold bullion will be a speculative com.
modify on the Stock Exchange before the
year is out, and that there will be a premi :
UNI bid for it. If the Bland silver bill
which has been favorably reported to the
house by the committee, Is passed, gold
viii be at 100
Cammack Approves the Idea.
Il have been talking over our wire, con-
tinued Mr.. kennett, with my partner
and with Addison Cammaek over The gold
prospect and they both agree with me.
Mr.. Cammack has been particularly cor
rect in his predictions on silver When
the bill ordering the monthly purchase of
400 900 ounces of silver was passed he
predicted that it would not have the effect
of maintaining silver, but that the price
would drop in spite of the bill Silver
bullion sold, few days ago, at S955 cents
per ounce-the lowest price ever made
and the price today touched 30. The gold
parity is l29 per ounce
Thinks a scare l. Imminent.
''Ihere is going to be scare over gold.
1t is half on now. Everybody knows that
this government cannot go on loading up
with silver bullion, which is continually
declining in value, and still pay gold on
demand. The withdrawal of S50,0o0,00O
gold now by a clique from the United
States treasury would put gold bullion to
premium tomorrow. 1t would so weaken
the government reserve that every other
holder of a government promise to pay
would demand gold, and the government
could not pay all, That scramble would
put gold 20 premium.

We've heard of a woman
who said she'd walk five miles
to get a bottle OF DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription if she
couldn't get it without. That
woman had tried it. And it's
a medicine which makes itself
felt in toning up the system
and correcting irregularities as
soon as its use is begun.
Go to your drug store, pay
a dollar, get a bottle and try
it-try a second, a third if
necessary. Before the third
ones been taken you'll know
that there's a remedy to help
you. Then you'll keep on
and a cure II come.
But if you shouldn't feel the
help, should be disappointed
in the results you'll find a
guarantee printed on the bot
tle-wrapper that'll get your
money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the money
than health? And "Favorite
Prescription produces health.
Wonder is that there's a
woman willing to suffer when
there's a .gzmunkeca remedy

HOW OTHER MEN VIEW 1T.

General opln1on mat The Move Would
Have No Immediate Effect.
Relative to Kcnnett's proposition Sena-
tor Cullom said last night: Il think such
an act would not have any immediate eff
feet upon the financial or other interests
of the country. Wall street cannot con-
troll the markets of the world. and If il is
intended to influence silver legislation it
will be abortive, for l think we will not
have any silver legislation this winter

Ex-senator Farwell said: Il think the
listing of gold bullion will not have any
present effect. Such proceeding might,
in the future, have the effect of contract
ing the circulating medium: but ! consid-
er that a remote probability The Interior
object is doubtless a political or stock job
bling scheme. II cannot be done with profit
TO the general business world, and might
work injuriouaiy.'
Depends the Bland Bill.
E e. kieth said: Il think it will have
no immediate effect The only thing that
would make gold a premium would be the
conviction in the public mind that silver
was to be the standard instead of gold
If the conviction was sure that we will
have free coinage it would stimulate spec
ulation in gold. The fact that a majority
of the congressional committee favor the
free coinage of silver does not necessarily
commit the country to free coinage
Likely to Demoralize Prices.
The application of kennett, Hopkins and
Co., will undoubtedly be made, Mr. Ken
nett, the senior member, declares, today
The prospect is that the "listing commit
tee" viii promptly deny the application,
but it is considered quite likely that the
application viii create a sensation in Wau
street, and that it may demoralize prices
