THE LITTLE CHILDREs.

Ever since the time when two
she-bears ate fortv-two little Is
raelites for making fun OF the
prophet Elisha, public sympathy
has been on the side of the little
street Arabs, who roam about and
are forced to look out for them
selves. How many of them die
like poor 10 in the BLEAK House
before they have had half
chance. Most of them are swept
away by pulmonary disease. Con-
sumption drags them down TO
death by thousands. All eff them
could be saved by the use of
Reid's German Cough and Kid
ney Cure. 1t is only by taking
care of the health of the small
est children, that the race is ele-
waited. See that you do yoar du-
ty and provide for the comfost of
your own child. Get this great
remedy; it contains no poison; 1t
will cure Group. The small bot
ties cost twenty-five cents, the
large size 80 cents.

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 2-The scheme for the
solution OF tue monetary problem that was
submitted to the international monetary
conference by Mr.. Alfred de RothschIld of
the British delegates WAS rejected by the
committee to which it was referred, on the
votes OF the delegates from France, Italy,
Belgium, Norway, Sweden aud Russia.
The first objection to the plau was by the
delegations belonging to the Latin Union.
They disapproved OF the proposal that Is
pence be fixed as the maximum purchase
price.
The report of the committee was sub
mitted this afternoon. IL declares that
Mr.. de Rot thschIld's proposals are OF great
interest aud worthy of full discussion,
but that the committee, by vote OF I To D,
declined to recommend their adoption.
The committee declared i'll favor OF that
portion OF ". Lewis plan which refers 10
the gradual withdrawal OF all gold coins
under the value of 70 francs and also of
all small bank notes below certain valus.
The report concludes with n statement OF
the American, Mexican and Indian dele
gates with reference to the future action
of these countries. The statement Is not
vet obtainabI They disapproyed OF the
proposal that AS pence be liked as The
maximum purchase price OF silver. Ihls
figure was consequently withdrawn III
favor of "a higher one, but this concession
failed TO reconcile the opposition.
The American delegates regard the sItu-
alton cheerfully. The way Is now clear
for IA full discussion of their bImetallic
plau. IN accordance with their original
program. When the report had been SUD
mItted TO the conference the American
delegates were not ready to discuss 1t. The
conference thereupon adjourned until
Tuesday when the report Will be debated.
The committee, by large majority, ap-
proved the Levi scheme, which ConteIn-
plates the gradual withdrawal of all gold
coins under the value OF 20 francs ami all
bank notes under 20 francs, except iu tue
case of silver certificates. Sir g. Freeman
tie, deputy master Of the English mint,
declined 10 commit his government 10 tue
I Levi scheme unless cOBcurreuJly adopted
with that of the Rothschild or similar
plan.
4 Dutch delegate opened the general
discussion, with the View of inducing the
American delegates TO submit their pro-
Dosals TOR international bmetalism.
Senator Allison moved TO adjourn till
Tuesday.
NJ Raffalovitch opposed the motion,
but NJ 4lrard, out of courtesy 10 the
! American delegates, supported the mo-
ton, although he did not understand tie
motive of heir procedure.
Mr.. ALiisOn's motion was adopted.

GOSSIP.

NEW YORK. Dec. 2.-''Every one must
realize" said Russell Sage, that in Jay
Gould's death the country has suffered an
irreparable loss. He was one of the lead
lug minds of the age. No one has done so
much as he ia the development OF the re-
sources of the country. The splendid rail-
ways constructed and maintained by him
will ever be regarded as monuments to his
genius and energy"
Dr. Chauncey VI. Depew said: Mr..
Gould's death will have little or no effect
on the stock market. He told me eight
weeks ago that his affairs were all ADJUST
ed and tnat should he drop dead at any
time his business was so arranged that his
sons could take charge of his interests at
once"
Henry Clews said: Jay Gould has Un-
duubtediy been one of the wonders OF the
world-abnormally great among men of
affairs He had many good qualities. lie
was generous to a fault. He was lnvarl-
abty true to friends, but bitter and untor-
giving to enemies. Much Of the spread OF
railroad transportation is due to bis re-
markable enterprise, sagacity and organ
izlng ability"
DR.. Norvin Green would not make an
estimate as to Mr.. Gould's wealth, but he
said: Il know that Mr.. Gould held So
600 coo worth of Missouri Pacific, SO, OOO
900 of Manhattan Elevated, and SO, O0O,O wv
OF Western Union He always mad great
faith in these companies, aud told me
some time ago that he wanted them retain
ed in his estate He believed that Mis-
souri, Pacific stock would go to 40, Wes-
tern Union to $50 aud Manhattan to 700
He carried no insurance on his lie
Ex-Judge John L. Dillon, who was Mr..
Gould's confidential lawyer for mauy
years, and who is said TO have made up
the Will said: Yes there is a will, ! can
tell you that, but | cannot tell you any
thing more about it.
The Tribune says that Mr.. GouId's po-
litical sympathies were largely with The
Democrats at the last election. He sent g
small contribution to the Republican ma
| tional committee, but some politicians
place the amount he contributed TO the
Cleveland campaign fund as high as
$50, COO
Tue engines of the Sixth, Third anc
| Second avenue elevated roads were drapeo
liz black on account of Mr.. Gould's death
Other appropriate steps will be taken by
| the heads Of various organizations Will

nected. Flags are flying at half mast Oh

he was heavily interested Mt his death is
as follows: Western Union Telegraph
company Manhattan Elevated Railway,
Texas Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Iron
Mountain, Wabash, Union Psycific. Inter
national and Great Northern. Besides
these companies. Mr.. Gould was inter
ested to some extent in The minor COM
panies of the southwestern system, but he
was engaged in getting out of them and
putting his sons into his place, preferring
to concentrate his holdings in the parent
company His interest IN the Delaware
Lackawauna and Western was disposed of
about three years ago.
There were many gueses made in regard to
Mr. Geuld's wealth aud OF the disposition
TO be made of his immense holdings in Sc
curities One of his closest associates and
oldest personal friends said III regard to
this matter: 'Jay G0uld's wealth will be
fouud to vary not SO, COG, ,000 from $780,
600 600. About S45 600. go is in Manhattan
Western Union aud Missouri Pacific. His
holdings of these three stocks are 'trus-
ted and will not be sod. His other Sc
curities will be taken care of by the same
interests which have had charge Of them
for the past Shree years. 1t Is estimated
that Mr. Gould held Sl5.0e1, 0G9 of West
era Union stock and $4,000 600 or Ele-
waited stock"
