The Seattle Conspiracy.

SEATTLE, April 25.-Mrs. Radloff, who
is now in Jail, is getting very loquacious,
and is beginning somewhat toenioy her
unenviable uotoriety. She has gotten
over her first fright, and says ahe is glad
her husband has not yet been captured.
The principal detective in the case is
out of town, and the:general impression
is that he has q clue to the whereabouts
of the missing man. Kostraush and
Mrs. Radlof both deny the existence of
any but business relations between
them. The insurance men are putting
UP big money. for the capture of Radlof,

lowed-gentle because we were above the

could do was to put our heads under our

But his attention being attracted by a
peculiar kissing, he was led to investigate.
The two stars proved to be, balls of St.
Elmo's fire gathering upon the ends of the
two alpen-stocks; they had stood erect on
each side of their couch. Things became
interesting. CHANGING to raise our hands
we were surprised to see our finger nails
illuminated and slight tingling sensa-

strange ire like Goals within the CRATE. 1t
was an awful occasion seldom witnessed.
Hence the name st. Elmo's pass.

New York Letter.

new Ork Letter.
CoLvILLE, April 15.-[Special. George
Pfunder, Worlds fair mining commits
sioner for the state of Washington, has
been in Colville for several days in the in
terest of the state mineral exhibit. Mr..
Pfunder says that the principal mineral
exhibit will come from Okanogan and Col
vile, on the east side of the mountains,
and from one district on the west side of
the range. He says that the weather is a
little bad for the work of collection of
minerals to advantage and that the work
will necessarily be delayed for a couple of
months, in fact it is not practicable to get
the ore out at this time for the reason that
the developments in the mining interests
during the coming season will greatly aug
ment to far better exhibit. Mr.. Plumber
has succeeded in getting a 5000 appro-
priation from Okanogan county 10 aid in
securing the exhibit, and it is propable
that the county of Stevens will do as well,
but the county commissioners will require
some little time to study about it.
Secretary Meany, of the state Worlds
fair commission, was here few days ago
for the purpose of arranging for the gath
ering of statistics ofthe county through the
agency of the county assessor. The as
SCISSOR expressed willingness to do the
work. providing that it would meet the
approval of the board of county commits
sioners. The board, however, have ex-
pressed their disapproval of the gather
ing of the statistics, and so far as the agri-
cultural, timber, stock raising and other
interests are concerned, there will be no
showing at the expense of the county;
but the board stated that they would very
likely appoint good man to take charge
of the matter of gathering mining statis-
tics and to assist the state commissioner
in getting out the exhibit in the minerals
to be displayed at the fair.
The town of Kettle Falls has made a
second effort to incorporate without sue
cess. 1t seems that the papers in the mat
ter of the incorporation were not properly
prepared at the last hearing on the sth
inst, and now the town is making another
effort to gain metropolitan position.

that equity exists in regard to their social
and humane position" He seemed to en-
joy the conversation with grim pleasure.
now and then blinking at me and forget
ting to knock the ashes off his cigar in the
zeal OF his conversation, then brushing
them from his stylish cutaway.
And are men really to be envied 2"
No, of course not. You see it in the
women who provide for themselves; are
they happy that they have become free :?
The women complain of the monotony of
their work and that it never ends. 1t
seems to me that only the artist and the
wife of rich man are excluded from this.
Take, for instance. family of the middle
classes. The man works day by day at
his tedious trade and is subject to the
whims of his master, while the wife,
though working equally as hard, has a
great variety of work to do, is independ-
ent, and if she is genuine woman, will
undoubtedly find more of interest in the
education of her children than he in his
trade"
But do not people argue that it is i'm
possible for all women to get married?" /
inquired.
.'Of course" he laughed. There's the
rub! But, seriously. 1 could suggest an
excellent remedy. Men should marry as
soon as they have the necessary means
and prospect of advancing in their posi-
ton. And if women were kept by their
parents, their brothers or other relatives,
and not go to work TO become mems
rivals, the young men would succeed
sooner. No, no, there is no use in talking.
Women should be shielded so far as posi-
BILE from all the rough influences of life
and be restrained within the sweet, ma
tural bonds of family life. And all old
bachelors over a certain age should be
taxed by the government: that would
soon induce them to enter the matri-
moniaI bonds"
But if it is true that there are more
women than men they all could not be
provided for in this wayP"
''Old maids should get a pension from
the state, as long as they need protection;
The tax on the bachelors would go to their
maintenance"
Then he rose, tipped the waiter, lit a
new cigar and, holding my hand, he said,
without seeming consciousness of the
presence of other guests: women are
worthy of it, for the genuine woman is a
piece of nature in whose company the
man, estranged from the unconscious, may
refresh and recruit himself and can again
acquire respect for the deepest and purest
springs of life. 1t is not saving too much
that for young man the intercourse with
a noble woman is far more useful to him
than with a male, and in greater degree
the more philosophical a mans bent, for
female intercourse is related to the male as
the survey in actual life to the survey in
books. Lack of male intercourse may be
compensated by books; of female, never !!

| Truly YOURS. THos.F. TRACY.
Poquonock, Conn, March q, 1892.
The American market price on an
ounce of silver, 480 grains, is s. cents,
at which price 41215 grains of silver are
worth about 63 cents.
If our correspondent will remember
| that the government is authorized to
buy and issue legal tender notes for a
sum not exceeding 100000 ounces of
silver per month, and that 100000
ounces of silver is very nearly our entire
annual product, he will see that it would
be very different thing for the govern
ment to open its mints for the unlimited
free coinage of silver. Here are some of
the points of difference:
Instead of there being 81 100000 of new
currency issued every year, there would
be not ody knows how much Our zn
silver production would increase with a
rush and the silver of the world, repre-
sented by the present price OF 90 cents
for 41212 grain, would, come upon US to
be coined The difference is plain be-
tween limited supply of currency and
an unlimited supply. The country saw
it before, when gold was limited and
greenbacks threatened to be Unlimited
in volume Gold went up or greenbacks
went down; you can put it either way
you wish.
Free silverites ask why ibis would be,
ard how it could be, seeing that Europe
coins silver principally at ratio of l512
to |, and coin it at 10 to l. Will 1t be
natural, they inquire, for Europe to ask
US to cola it's silver when we require 80
per cent. more silver for equality with a
given amount of gold than they do? The
point is however, that we have got gold
a England wants gold. She wanted it
all last year. and she will want it all the
more if it is locked up and becomes
scarce, as a consequence of free coinage
here. And Europe will try by every
means to draw gold away from Us, and
when she succeeds gold will go up and
silver down to it's intrinsic value. Our
government, of course, cannot prevent
Europe from doing this cept by a
treaty, and this the democratlc house
will not let US make.
The government can still say, you
have got to take this 4l212 grain dollar
as dollar" And people would have to
take it in payment of their wages. The
merchant and his salesman will take it
with the usual smile and bow and
thank you They won't say, I'VE can
allow but 68 cents worth of credit on
that. 1t will be easier just to mark the

this sort of free and unlimited coinage,
