The Old Vues1Gn OF Making Good Paper
Depreciation Is Revived.
WASHINGTON, Nos. .19.-Second Auditor Pat
terson, in his annual report, devotes con-
siderable space to q consideration Of the
musty question of paying soldiers who
served during the War Of the Rebellion, or
their widows or legal heirs tbe difference
between currency and gold. He estimates
the amount to pay these men the difference
at sl44, 822 5000. which amount would be
swelled to SOC. 100000, provided commits
stoned officers were, also, paid on the gold
basis.
The Auditor says the present indications
are that the balance on hand for the pay
be exhausted long before the close OF the
present fiscal year, and that many claimants
will have to wait for their dues unless Con-
gress provides for their payment during the
coming session.

THE PENNsY TO BE SHORTENED
BY q Short Cut From william Penn to
Shenandoah Via Mount Carmel.

sUNBURY, PA, Nov. 19.-Pennsylvania Off
cials here confirm the report that the COM
pany proposes building railroad from
William Penn to Mount Carmel. 1t is be-
Iieved that ultimately q connecting link
will join Mount Carmel and Shenandoah,
giving the Pennsylvania what it needs-a
more direct route to Philadelphia
The company, too, is on the hunt for coal
tonnage and there is no doubt there is room
for it west of Shenandoah. The new line
will follow the track to Mount Carmel col
lfery, and then take the south side Of the
mountain to Central1a.

A Feature of Metre poIitan Life.

1t must strike any observaRt person who
uses the elevated much that some women
exhibit good deal of stupidity. At the
downtown stations in the late afternoon,
and especially at those stations OF the Sixth
avenue line in the great shopping districts,
women pour upstairs in solid columns and
crowd the platforms in droves. As a rule
they attempt unanimously to board the
particular cars directly opposite or nearest
TO the ticket chopper. There are few who
have profited by experience and seek the
first or last ear of the train. These cars are
frequently untitled when the three middle
cars are packed to suhocatfoH. And those
who are in the first and last ears are usually
men. have often seen from 40 to 30 women
hanging to straps i'll the middle of train
when there were vacant seats in the end cars.
Yet every station will add its quota to the
1ulI cars.
The end cars are particularly desirable in
winter because there is little or none of the
terrible draught that sweeps, through the
cars that are opened at both ends every
time the train appi caches a station But
this apparent stupidity of women is still
more apparent in the fact that many women
will hans, to q strap with vacant seats one
way or the other a few feet distant in the
same car. You can see this every day and
every "trip. 1t Is one OF the curious things
of metropolitan every day life. My obser-
walton compels me to say that women in
crowd have no more sense than q drove Of
pigs. -. e

THE Prince of Wales, says Geographic

the champion yacht races off New York
harbor next spring, when the Americas
cup will be again contested for. Good !!
Nothing in the way Of sport will exalt
American self-esteem more than to have a
Yankee yacht outsail the craft of the
heir to the English throne. And what is
more, we believe there are at least three
yachts that will be entered capable of
taking the starch out OF the Princes cut
ter. Dunraven has faster yacht on the
stocks now, if fine lines mean anything,
than the cutter now building for Wales,

IN THE failure Of the Monetary Confer
ence bimetallism has received its first
black eye. The conference has adjourned
until May next, but when that month
arrives and the conference abruptly adj
Journs sine die without agreement, BIZ
metallism, internationally considered,
Will have received its quietus, though
later in the century it may be resurrected.
Germany went into the conference with
the hands Of her delegates tied by I'M
pelal order; England united with it
with judgment irrevocably formed. Both
Germany and England were in the con-
ference for amusement, evidently. Ger
tainly their positions would indicate that
neither Of them acted with sincerity in
entering upon the consultation, and that
they had in view common agreement in
the conference is of course not believed.
The French delegates, upon whom the
silver men placed their hopes, disap-
pointed them sadly. So nothing was
done, and nothing will be done in the
future. The laws of finance and trade
will be left to work out their own courses
between the countries Of the earth. The
nations will not open the doors of their
minis to silver on equality with gold;
they will hazard a panic, possible to be
precipitated by our ceasing to buy in the
silver market. But as that is improbable
the Europeans are tolerably safe Ger
tainly the silverphobists have had no en-
| couragement from the conference, and
the fiat money men will take no comfort
out Of its failure though it will not harm
the latter since no one who has given
the question any serious thought fancies
for moment that they have any reason
to hope for success at any time.
