Tom Anjerry has heretofore been one Of
the most trifing students at college, but
Of late he has attended the lectures regu-
larly. One Of the professors observed this
change for the better, and took occasion
to remark to his friend, Judge Cowing,
who is acquainted with the young man:
s'I'm very glad to see that young man

Results of the Monetary Conference
Discussed by Leaders of the Two
Congressiona. Factions.
n
Mr.. Harter Declares the Only Lpgiti
mate Use Of silver Is In Making
Pots and Pans.
Biands Chief Lieutenant Ayers That
the United States Must Act Alone
In the Natter.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.--The views of
the results OF h. internationl Il monetary
conference Are given by the leaders of
the opposing forces in the house of rep
resentatives
Mr.. Harter of Ohio, one of the chief
hard money Democrats, says there can
be no hope of inducing any other nation
to do anything for silver while the Sher.
man law is in force and the United
States continues the monthly purchases
OF bullion provided for by that law.
suppose said he, ''you and I are
walking down the street together and
we come to wall that is leaning over
the sidewalk. go up to it and try tc
hold it up. 30 that it will not fall and
crush the passer-by. / call to you and
ask you to come aud help me, but you
say no, You hold the wall up and will
pass on out OF danger That is just
the situation with this silver matter. The
United States is standing under the
great mass of silver in the market try.
ing to hold it up with the Sherman law
for prop, while the other nations are
passing by out of harms way and re-
fuse to lend their assistance. But what
is the use of trying to maintain two
metals'of different market value at a
parity by legislation2 1t never has been
done and it never can be done, and it is
surprising in this day to hear men of
intelligence talk of the possibility Of
doing it. The fact is that the produc-
tion of silver is increasing so rapidly
that there is no hope for its restoration
to use as money metal. Why, | was
talking with man in New York the
other day who told me of a mine out
West that yielded over $50, 900 per car
load of ore. Talk about using silver for
money, why the only use that is left for
it Is to make pots and pans and kettles
ont Of it,
On the other hand, Mr.. Pierce, of
Tennessee, Mr.. Bland's chief lieutenant.
says: "The conference has demonstrated
that the Uuited States must act alone
in this matter, that we can expect no
immediate assistance from any European
nation. 1t was shown very conclusively
that neither England, Austria nor Ger
many will have any part In increasing
the monetary use of silver and our only
hope of assistance is in the Latin union.
These great countries-E England,
Germany and Austria exercise
such. powerful influence over
the countries in the Latin union,
however, that there is little hope Of
their doing anything until the United
States leads the way. We have got to
take the first steps towards the re-
monetization Of silver alone, and the
other nations. or some Of them, will
then follow after us..n

'sSas trying 20 arrest him, was run down
and arrested at Talala. /. T., by United
States Deputy Marshal Heck Drummer,
who had been on his trail ever since the
killing of Wilson. Brunner and his
posse at the same time caught Stone

LOOMS has returned to this city from
Washington where he has been to see
Mr.. Blaine. To reporter he said "Mr.
Blaine is in very critical condition, yet
he cannot be said to be in any imme-
diate danger. He is very sick man
and may die at any moment or he may
live for weeks. 1t is impossible to tell
anything more definite about his case
at present" A special to the World from
Augusta, Me-, saws it is known there
that Blaine suffered an attact similar to
Sundays one week ago. His friends in
Augusta are disheartned and fear they
will not see him ag,in in life. One OF
Mr.. Blaine's relatives says that Mr.
Blaine has been losing strength ever
since he apparently recovered from his
illness two years ago.

Got Lost and Shielded

HALLoCK. Mimi, Dec. 21.--A few
days ago Coroner Campbell was called
to the eastern part of the county to in
vestigate the case of man found hang
ing in an old hunting camp. He has
returned with the corpse and reports
that he found the body hanging
from the rafters of the hut by a rope
twisted from willow wands. The body
was identified to be that of P. Riley, an
old man of 10 years, who got lost in the
swamps while out looking for cattle
some six weeks ago.

A shortaca nf sno. ooo.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 21.-It is now stated
on good authority that the shortage in
the Louisville and Nashville freight of
fee in this city will be at least $50, 900.
Agent McCourt was relieved few days
ago. Cashier Shotwell's successor has
also been appointed. The company has
attached all the real estate and other
property of McCourt, placing its claim
at $30.000, but it is not stated in the
suit that this is the whole claim. The
surety company, which is on the bonds
of McCourt and Shotwell for $40, 600,
will probably bring criminal proceed
ings against them.

Mr.. Blaine's Condition Has Improved
Somewhat During the Past
Twenty.four Hours.
He Slept Well and Is by so Much Bet.
ter Able to Withstand the Ravages
of His Disease.
DIR. Loomis Says He May Pass Away
at ANY Time or May Live for
Several Weeks.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. Mr.. Blaine
has held for twenty -four hours the i'm
provement which was noted in his con-
dition Monday. He rested well during
the night, entered on the morning re-
freshed and consequently is better pre-
pared to very slight degree to resist
the ravages of the disease which has
brought him face to face with death.
To this extent there is encouragement
for the family and the hosts of friends
of the stricken statesman. The malady
is organic, however, and in the nature
of things must grow worse with time.
The callers at the house were informed
by the man at the door that Mr..
Blaine had passed very comfortable
night and was resting easily"
A raw. cold rain set in during the
night and in the early morning turned
to snow and slush. 1t was thought
possible that, even with the extreme
precautions that are taken TO protect
the invalid, these bad atmospheric con-
ditions might be reflected in his con-
dition. Fortunately, however, these
fears expressed by friends of Mr.. Blaine
were found on visit to the house to be
baseless, and subsequently DIR. johnson
said that the weather does not affect
Mr.. Blaine at all.
DR.. johnson vitited Mr.. Blaine about
about o'clock and remained short
time. At 10 o'clock he summarized the
condition of Mr.. Blaine by saying, .Mr.
Blaine is as well as he was Monday and
seems refreshed after a good nights
rest"
He added, in answer to the question,
that Mr.. Blaine had no trouble about
sleeping. He declined to go into any
statement with reference to the disease
but said that it was not from any de-
sire TO conceal the condition of Mr..
Blaine, but because Of the personal feel
ings of the family. The doctor again
stated that there was no basis whatever
for the report that Mr.. Blaine had been
seized with hemorrhage and could not
account for the starting Of such re-
port. He added that there had been no
attempt to conceal anything from the
public as to the real condition of Mr..
Blaine. There will be no consultations
held at the house, but DIR. Johnston and
DR.. Hyatt, who is specialist in throat
and lung troubles, win call together
once or twice during the day as they
have done heretofore.
About 1880 coupe drove mp to the
door and Mr.. Damrosch, Mr.. Blaine's
son in-law alighted. His presence makes
complete the personal household of Mr..
Blaine.
