ice. As practical miner his knowledge
OF silver led him TO study the financial
question carefully, and he became on con-
vlction an ardent advocate of the free coin
age Of silver. In the Forty-fourth congress
he was appointed chairman OF the commit
tee on mines and mining, and as such in
trOduced the original BLAND bill'' for the
free coinage Of silver at the same ratio as
before the so called demonstration Of 1873
This bill having been amended in the
senate, was known as the Bland-Allison
bill, and became law in 1873. Il passed
the senate by IS votes to q and the house
by 203 10 =, the latter on agreeing with
the senate amendments. Il was promptly
vetoed by President Hayes, and on the
same day (Feb. q, 1879 was passed over
his veto by 1876 TO % in the house and 46 to
l9 in the senate.
This act provided for the coinage Of 81
oO0,000 worth Of silver a month. and re-
manned in operation till repealed by the so
called Sherman law of 1890 Mr. Bland
meanwhile continued to advocate his origi-
nal measure. and the recent vote thereon
furnishes both sides with figures on which
they demonstrate their respective claims
as TO public sentiment.

WOMEN WHO HAVE GAINED FAME
As ASTRONOMERS.
How Ross O'Halloran, of San Francisco,
Has Pushed Her Way to the Front and
Forced Recognition of Her Ability.
Maria MitcheE's Work.

In San Francisco there lives little wo-
man who, almost unaided, has struggled
along until she is at last beginning TO re-
ceive the recognition TO which her abilities
entitle her. Her name is Miss Rose O'Hal-
loran. She was the first female TO be made
a member of the Pacific Coast Astronomic-
al society. She is the daughter of Edmund
O'Halloran, property owner and whole
sale merchant of Carrick-on-Suir, Ireland
When he died il was found that his estate
was involved to such an extent that il
would be necessary for some of the female
members of the family to depend upon
their own efforts for living. Miss O'Hal-
loran had read Of the proposed Lick OBJ
servatory, and started for San Francisco
rs the best central point from which to
begin operations. Since her arrival at the
Golden Gate" this plucky young lady has
endeavored, by means OF the income de-
rived from lessons in astronomy, TO make
a living, and at the same time lay away
a small portion of her earnings, to be ap-
piled toward the fulfllment of her dearest
wish-the purchase of telescope. Abort
two and half years ago, urged on by the
advice of her friend, Professor Davidson.
she ordered fine 4-inch equatorial tele-
scope from a celebrated eastern manufac-
turer. The professor, en- route to Europe,
stopped over long enough in Pittsburg TO
select the instrument. Recently an ex-
pupil died and bequeathed 10 Miss O'Eal-
loran 81 .0G0, which enabled her to pay OF
the balance due.
Miss O'Halloran has contributed nu-
meTous popular articles on the sim pier as
poets Of astronomy TO the newspapers.
These have been IL almost every case wide
~ copied, but as she seldom signs any
thing she writes she has not received the
credit to which she was entitled. Miss
O'Halloran has little observatory" she
calls it, on Pine street, San Francisco, and
there she can be seen at almost any hour
Of the night either gazing through her
dumb interpreter of the heavens or
standing ct its side with her hand resting
affectionareIy upon 1t. Professor Sargent
declares that Mss o Halioran is one of the
cleverest woman astronomers in the world,
and other prominent California educators
indorse his opinion
Another female astronomer who has
made her mark is Miss Mary ". Whitney,
the professor at Nassar college in her
chosen branch. Miss Whitney graduated
from Vass2r in 1868. and year later OBJ
served the solar eclipse with her old in

That Old Frontiersman.

! There were half dozen men, all rich and
| jolly, sitting in the Hoffman House cafe
! the other night discussing the Chicago
fair, when a tail man with long gray hair
and beard, bucllsllin pants. a broad, but
rather dilapidated slouch hat and other
signs Of time and adversely stood before
| them.
BY Jover' whispered one as the appari-
| ton halted, 1T looks as If the ghost Of
Cooper's Leatherstockng had come hack
from the grave"
''Pardon me, gents, TO- interruptin Of
you" said the old man with self depreca-
tory manner and an information that sag
gested the frontier Of the dead past, but
if so be my ears didn't deceive me, heerd
you a-talkin bout Shecago:"
Yes, my friend" responded Colonel
Ochiitree, that IS the subject We had
under discussion, Can you throw any
light on it"
Throw any light on it"' repeated the
old man, with laugh so hollow as to sug-
gest MS being empty to the tips of his toes
Why, way back In 1881, when Shecago
was the name of kirk, and not much OF a
kirk nuther, and the settlement was called
Fort Dearborn, was out thar as hunter
and interpreter"
Great ScoUtP' cried one, shat is sixty
years sgo!"
"PrezactIy sixty year ago." said the
hontiersman.
And You were there them"
81 was, stranger" and the old man drew
himself proudly up.
Why, how old are you"
'A-risin eighty-one.
"You don't look it.
NO. stranger; but they say man is as
old as he feels, and 1 feel sometimes, more
particular since I've come on har 10 see
the east, from which my uncle tux me as
a orphan boy of six. as if could give old
Methusala pinrs On age Any Of you gents
ever hear OF old Beaubien9'
He looked over the rosy and now inter
ested faces about the table without getting
response, and then proceeded:
odd Beaubien was a Frenchman, and he
had trading store in my early days right
near the mouth of Chicago kirk, and any
one might have had al the land in sight
for fencin it in, but there wasn't any
fencin stuff in sight. Then there was old
Colonel Owen-ever hear of him?"
Not Of your Colonel Owen" said tho
PhRbus haired Texan.
" q al. Lie " dA> lAc IUSG agent OUT
thar, and you ken jist bet he made it pay.
Why, | can Remember the fust tavern,
that was in 1898, and it was a double
shanty, and the guests slept outdoors from
choice. Then there was old General Brady,
ever hear Of him?"
No"
Nor of Jedge Bell:"
"No."
Nor the hanging of 81 Lunt,"
NO"
Then, strangers, you don't none Of you
know Shecago like me. And let me say,
gents, that whin that big fair comes of
that ar city will be the biggest and most
wonderful part Of the great show. Pardon
the intrusion of a poor old frontiersman,
for that's ali I've got to say"
The old man was about TO hurry away
when Tom Ochiltree laid a restraining
hand on his arm, while another passed
around the rat, into which at least twenty
dollars was dropped

THE LAKE FRONT CASE.

Argument in the Suit Involving the Land
Occupied by the Illinois Central.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-The case in
volving the ownership Of portion of the
land occupied by the Illinois Central
Railroad Company on the lake front in
Chicago came up for argument in The Su-
preme Court Of the United States yester-
day. There are four cases in all, which
were combined and advanced on the cal
endar.
Mr. Chief Justice Fuller, having at
one time acted as counsel for one of the
parties in the case, did not sit, his chair
being occupied by Associate Justice Field,
the senior member of the court Asso-
ciate Justice Blatchford, while sitting
and hearing the argument, will take no
part in the decision of the case, owing to
the fact that relatives of his are finan-
cially interested in the result.
At the opening of the case Solicitor
General Aldrich suggested that the
United st ates was not properly a party
to any of the cases before the Court.
1t had appealed on its own account from
the decision of the court below, which ap-
peal is now on the docket of the Supreme
Court.
Mr. Aver then began the argument,
speaking for the railroad company, and
will be followed by Corporation Counsel
Miller for the State. The argument il
limited TO eight hours, the State ol
Illinois and the City of Chicago having
one half, aud the railroad company the
other half.

THOSE MEDALS.

The little medal of American tin
plate entitled "HarrisonR Reid and
Protection. 1892" had been largely
used for distribution among school
children Of the city of New York until
last week, when the Free Trade Demo-
cratic Board of Education Of this city
became greatly alarmed lest some
of the Democratic parents should
learn through the little ones Of the
benefits of the Protective policy.
Quickly the Police Board ordered that
this distribution, which was strictly
within the law, should be stopped and
a representative of The League distri-
buting medals to the school children,
after they had left theschool room and
were on their way home, were ordered
20 stop under penalty of arrest.
We trust that every Protection news
paper in this couAtry will let its read
ers know of this attempt to prevent
the distribution of wholesome matter
teaching the principles of Protection
AS a result, however, Of the publicity
in New York City, theschool children
are taking it into their own hands
and every day besiege The League
rooms for quantities of the tin.pIate
medals for distribution.
We grant that it may not be pleas
ant for a Democratic father to have
his child come home singing:
Projections banner guards our land
From Eugland's creed and pauper pay
And when play Great Britain's hand
Please take me for BLOOMING JAY,
and asking what it means, but thii
is the very purpose of the distribution
1t is our idea that if the children il
the home can bring the subject to tn
attention of parents great good will
result. The school children Of New
York City will receive these medals
notwithstanding the attempts of th
Free.Trade oligarchy to prevent it

publieans of this country have their
recognized national organizations,
and have nominated respectively
Cleveland and Harrison for the Presi

irresponsible persons, calling them
selves Republicans or Democrats,
should meet and nominate some one
else, it would not be proper to say that
the Republicans or the Democrats
had nominate So-and-So The suf-
fragists of this country have their

thirty state societies auxiliary to it.

self, not one of the women said to
have taken part in the so-called con-

The suffragists Of the United States

for them to set up candi-

have no votes; and if they were to
nominate anybody, it would certainly
not be Mrs. Victoria Woodruff Martin.
