WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

Pope Leo III has shown the deep IN
terest he feels in the worlds fair and in
America by deciding to exhibit at the
fair some of the rare treasures of art.
literature and history which the vati-
can contains. Archbishop Ireland, now
in Rome, has cabled this information
and asked for space for the exhibit.
The vatican contains q collection OF
art AID other treasures which cannot
be duplicated and which are priceless
in value. The exhibit will. no doubt,
contain many Of the most interesting
of these treasures, and will attract,
perhaps more attention than viii any
other one display ~ the exposition.
This action by the Pope will certainly
tend TO increase greatly the interest
taken IN the far bv ali Catholic coun-
tres, and thus render Il a greater and
more successful exposition. and one in
which the entire world will take pride.
To the Hon. Thomas B. Bryan and Mr..

SHE TRIED TO DIE
Mrs. Wander Clay Takes Nor
phine.
SAVED BY A TIMELY EMETIt
She Had Been Terribly Abpsed BY
Her Husband and Wished 10 End
Her Troubles

Mrs. Helen Wander Clay, residing 1t
No. COS Canal street. attempted to COM
nit suicide al $50 lass night by taking
morphine. She had been having
trouble with her husband for some
time ana this, added 10 the cireum-
stances surrounding tie death OF her
youngest daughter, had unsettled her
mind. Over a week ago she purchased
10 cents worth of morphine from
Stonehouse, the West Leonard street
druggist, with the intention OF taking
il then. No questions were asked by
the druggist at the time the poison WAS
purchased. Wander Clay. who Is .
hard drlnker, had been on Q lengthy
spree and returning home yesterday
abused his wife and children in .
shameful manner, and thinking TO end
her trouble che took about one-half OF
the morphine.
DIR. Rozema was promptly called and
gave the woman an emeuc that saved
her life. The Wander Clays have
lived in this city but short time,
moving here from Muskegon, where
they had formerly resided on \ small
farm.
About two weeks ago, or shortly be-
fore she secured the morphine, Wander
Clay came home drunk, and it 10 al.
legged that he abused his wife in ter
ribie manner, throwing her down eel
lar and soon afterwards throwing her
In the cisteru, from which she was res
cued by her daughters. The same day
he also threw her down .
flight of stairs. While in Mus
kegon he whipped his youngest
daughter so severely that she died. and
when his wife demonstrated with him
he struck her, breaking her arm. He
served ninety days In Detroit for this
offense. Wander Clay left the house
when the patrolman who had been sum.
moned arrived and has not been heard
from since. Should he return 1t II
probable that the neighDors will take
steps to have him put under bonds &c
keep the peace.

with which they have worked for the

where good can be done. He also
urged the society to provide some

FREE COINAGE.

Free coinage reduced to its simplest
explanation is this: Under existing law
the owner of gold bullion can take it
to the mint and have 1t coined into dol
lars. because the nominal and intrinsic
values are the same. The silver dollar
is worth 80 cents less than its face value.
The silver bullion owners demand that
they shall have the same right ~ the
gold bullion owners, that is to say that
they shall be permitted TO take their
bullion to the mint and receive in ex-
change therefor . dollar, the intrinsic
value of which is but 20 cents, for every
corresponding dollar IN the bullion.
The result of such q scneme would be
that every silver owner would dump his
silver into the mint and take in ex-
change silver dollars. The money mar.
ket would be glutted by the stuff and
our silver would depreciate until bust
ness would be threatened with uuiver-
sal disaster. Gold would 60 up to the
premiums of war times and we would
find ourselves face to face with infia-
ton without remedy or redress. II
gold and silver are mairt tanned on .
parity, that Is II . dollar in gold 10
maintained intnnscsily as valuable as
q dollar in silver for all purposes of
trade and commerce, both foreign and
domestic, then there can he no violent
financial upheavsls- The silver men
overlook and decline 10 see the injus-
tics OF their demands in their mad
greed TO convert their bullion into dol
lars bearing the legend, 'In God We
Trust unmindful of the hardship 1t
will impose on those VINO must take
the dollars and trust in the good in
tentions OF the governments TO redeem

OVER THE RUINS.
A Kansas Man Discusses Powers Opera
House.

$50 Powers opera house has burned,
has it," said James p. Holmes of To-
peka, Kansas, at the Morton last night.
"By gosh, / never thought that old
JOINT would ever have enterprise
enough to burn down. I've been to
Grand Rapids great many times, and
almost every time I've been here I've
gone to Powers, but never saw any
thing that gave me a greater sense of
pleasure than when looked at the
ruins of that old playhouse today.
Perhaps the next time l come here
Grand Rapids will have decent theater
building. have often wondered why
il didn't have before. That old build
ing was the most unenterprising thing
about the whole city. Anybody going
there might think this was Podunk or
Jayvllle instead of one of the most hus-
ting little places in the northwest.
81 don't know that blame Mr..
Powers for not maintaining q better
building. He could get good rent for
it as it was, and 40 there was no neces-
sity for his spending large amounts of
money every year for repairs. Then
that hole ia the block is no place for q
theater anyway. From all that I have
heard and seen, ] should Judge that-the
place had few facilities or equipments
of any kind.
"What Grand Rapids ought to have
Is tirst-class theater building and not
something built in the center of four
rows Of offices. This city is large
enough to make No. block q paying
investment, and l wonder that some
enterprlsing Grand Rapids citizen
doesn't erect such building.
"Did you ever know that the hotels
and the theatres of city have more to
do with making its reputation than
anything else? It's q fact. Grand
Rapids has very good hotels. and there
is no reason why it shouldn't have an
equally good opera house. An old
house like Powers was without any
plan or arrangement, will spoil the best
play IN existence for the average spec.
tator. There is no comfort to be taken
there on account Of the inferior equip.
ment. On the contrary, an elegant
and we'll furnished opera house will add
a certain degree of interest to the most
miserable play that the transformer
ever put upon the boards"

EXTENSION OF VEST FuL TON STREET

EXTENSION OF WEST FULTON STHEei
EpIroK HERALD: Regarding the grad
ing or West Fulton street we have .
word or two We wlsh 20 say through
the columns OF your paper. At the
request Of TIE mayor OF the city IN
1855 the people of the township OF
Walker circulated . petition for the
opening OF = highway commencing a.
the west terminus of West Fulton
street and running one mile west, Ia
tersectlng north and south road con-
nectlng West Bridge street ana Butter
worth avenue road. Acting Oh the
petition, and according TO law, due
notice being given 10 ali persons inter
ested IN or owniag property on The pro-
posed line, and paying damages wnen-
ever the owners OF adjoining lands
claimed any, the road WAS laid out,
thrown open to the public and organi-
Fed As highway district No. 2, and as
such has received Its due share
OF the highway labor from that time TO
the present. The object of the city in
wanting the road laid out was two fold.
First, that IL might reach Inc property
donated by the late John Ball. which
lay within the township limit, and TO
Second, that 1t might procure tho earth
IN the hlll for the purpose OF grading
and filling West Fulton street, across
the flats, which il afterwards did by
PERMISSION OF the highway commits
sloner Of the township, with the dis
tlnct understanding that the city should
aid and assist the township in grading
the street through the hill at the ear
liest possible moment. This We have
reason To believe would have been
gladly carried out by the city before
the extension of the limits, had it not
been for legal impediments, and would
be now, were il not for the opposition
created by certain financially interested
persons. and by others who have so
long had the benefit Of the improve
ments below without having been
taxed for the same by reason Of their
property lying outside the city linn

to be entirely selfish and mercenary,
And We believe that the best interests
Of the city demand that the street be

ship, that is q so-called ten-foot grade;
that such u grade is cheap, feasible
and sufficient, and Can be made with
out any material injury to property,
there 10 no doubt. So far as the park
Is concerned such . grade will be q
benefit instead of detriment. That
there is and always must be public
highway out West Fulton street into
the country is q conceded fact, and
the only proper place for it is on the
established line and not logging OFT tC
right or left throughout the park, the
beautiful driveways of which were not
intended nor can they continuously be
used for general farm travel without
detracting from the beauty and useful.
ness of the park. To force the public
TO use them for general highway pur.
poses seems to Us to be very poor

with our understanding with the city
when the road was laid out.
