It's Appearance Attributed TO Super

PRESTON, MINI, Aug. 16.-The people Of
Of Canton, in this county, are in fever of
excitement over picture which has sud
denly appeared In little round window
high up in the steeple of the Roman Catho-
lie church. The picture is that of grotto,
in which Is the form Of O woman with her
infant lying on her left arm, while just
in front and slightly above the
woman 10 another face looking
down at the pair. The woman is dressed in
loose white robe, has long black hair and
lovely face. The child is not so plainly
visible. The third face is that Of bearded
man. Some who have looked for it have
been unable to see the picture. The glass
has been carefully washed inside and out by
doubters and as the picture is still there its
existence cannot be denied. 1t is asserted
by some that Father Jones, who built the
church, had the picture blown In the glass,
but this the priest emphatically denies and
thinks the charge can be asily proved or
disproved by inquiring of the firm from
which the glass was purchased. All who
have seen the phenomena, Roman Catholics
as we'll as others, are enxtously awaiting
further developments.

Against the silver Standard.
BOMBAY, INDIA, Aug. 16.-The move-
ment in favor of gold standard is spread
ing. Petitions are received daily from Of
6cials in all parts OF India In favor Of a gold
standard. Nearly all the officials IN India
are paid in silver, and the decline In the
value OF the metal has caused a correspond
ing decrease 10 the purchasing power Of
silver money. Consequently officials, in
many cases, find their salaries practically
curtailed.

may surmount the danger but IL is other
wise with India and we are astonished that
Indian statesmen have not sooner awakened
to the necessity of checking the mischief.
