Jails Wouldn't Hold Her.

BosToN, January 11.-Esther Branner
of Brighton, aged Is, was sent to the in
dustrial school today to remain during
her minority. Her mother complained
that she could not control the child.
A few weeks ago Esther was sent TO
Alfred, Me-, to live with the Shakers, but
one dark night she packed up her clothes
and skipped out, walking to East Water
boro, where she found shelter. A man
by the name of Guild furnished her with
money to pay her passage to Boston, and
she arrived few days ago. This morn
ing she told the judge that there was no
jail strong enough to hold her. She was
then committed to the state industrial
school during her minority.

FOR BI-METALLIC CURRENCY,
MIR. Teller's Resolution Proposing ain In
ternational Conference.

WASHINGTON, January 11.-In the SEN
ate, today, Mr.. Aldrich presented the re-
monstrance of the woolen manufacturers
of New England against any agitation on
the question of the duties on wool and
asked that it be read and printed on the
records.
Mr. Harris objected to encumbering
the records with the full text of such a
paper. The remonstrance was ordered
printed as document and referred to
the finance committee.
Mr. Teller introduced a joint resolution
providing for an international bi-metallic
agreement. 1t declares it to be the de-
termined policy of the United States gov
ernment to use both gold and silver as
full legal tender money, either under the
rates now existing in the United States,
or under one that may hereafter be es-
tablished by the United States alone or
in accord with other nations. 1t directs
the President to invite the governments
of the countries composing the Latin
Union and such other nations as may
deem it advisable, to join the United
States in conference and adopt a common
ration between gold and silver for the
purpose of establishing internationally
the use of bi-metaliic money and securing
the fixity of the relative values between
them. The resolution provides for the
appointment of three, four or five COM
missioners by the President and fixes
their salary at $4,000. The resolution was
referred to the finance committee.

A tall and elegantly dressed lady
whom nobody knew walked into the

was thronged with eastern editors, and

Over a dozen persons stood before the

hand had fallen upon the electric key

were calculations of astonishment and
chagrin, and the stiffness was broken
at intervals by dozen questions.

their astonished gaze. She never came
