a Few Rules.

Don't waste your money. Even if you
do not desire to use it yourself let it be
of service somewhere. There are va
rious methods of disposing of it that are
distinctly unselfsh.
You can put it under the corner of the
carpet for the reaches to play WITH and
when the reaches get tired of it some in
dustrious mouse with domestic cares on
her mind can use it for upholstery pur-
poses. There is nothing that tickles n
refined mouse more than few hundred
dollars turned into bedroom furniture.
Or you might put it in teapot on the
top shelf of the cupboard. And when the
hired girl wants to go to a picnic she
may stumble across it and forever bless
you for your forehandedness.
Another way is to put it in an old
stocking and hang it up in the clothes
press. When some other member of the
family concludes to get rid of some of
the accumulated trash. this will make
the ragman very happy.
You might carry it around in your
pocket, and by SO doing draw it out
while looking for a letter, and leave it
for some pedestrian who was careless
and did not save his money.
There are other ways to be unselfish,
but these rules are simple, direct and
sufficient. Washington Star.

tice, which is the bulwark of individual
freedom and right as we'll as of general
safety, should determine for the future
to discountenance and prevent the sub :
stitution of mob violence for judicial
penalties. Such crimes as that at Roa.
noke tempt them almost beyond the
power of human endurance, but they
are too strong and splendid race not to
be able to exercise self-control. Lynch

of any kind through its columns, and

GOLD IN THE TREASURY.
How to Replete the Treasury Is the
Problem to Be Considered.

How to Replete the Treasury Is the
Problem to Be Considered.
WASHINGTON, June Sat no time
since specie payments were resumed on
Jan. 1, 1879, has the net gold in the
treasury been so low as today. The
amount is Ss9, $3.50, 217. On Jan. 1, 1879, it
was STA, 1913, 539. Since that period it
gradually increased until in March 1888,
it had reached S21S, 81S, 600, which was
high water mark. Since then the net
gold holdings on the treasury have been
ness is felt at the treasury department
because of the continued loss of gold
from the treasury, still Secretary Carlisle
is not unmindful of the fact that the
limit may be reached where the confidence
reposed in the treasury by the people
may be shaken.
How to replete the treasury with gold
has been a problem seriously considered
by the administration for some time. The
issue of bonds is the usual remedy sug-
gested, but it is known that the president
is not in favor of this alternative except
as last resource, and even If they are is-
sued treasury officials are not by any
confident the treasury gold re-
pleted in this way will long continue. 1t
is contended that in force it simply means
the government borrowing gold on inter
est for the purchase of silver, with no as
surance that the gold so obtained will re-
main in the treasury longer than the
time necessary to take it out.
The suggestion has been made that the
| secretary OF the treasury has power to
issue greenbacks in exchange for gold i,
| thus increasing the amount of gold and
increasing the volume of greenbacks out
standing to the extent of gold thus ex :
changed. Treasury officials say the idea
is not new one, and has been advanced
at different periods In the past ten days.
No law on the statute books is more
| stringent than that relating to green
backs. The secretary CT the treasury has
no discretion either to increase or dimin-
ish the volume of business.
The Star in discussing the monetary
situation says it is understood that the
question which will be discussed at the
special meeting of the cabinet Monday
will be the condition OF the treasury. At
this meeting it is believed the attorney
general will render an opinion on the
question as to the right of the admin
stration to issue bonds without the action
of Congress. Solicitor General Aldrich
drew up an opinion on this question
which Attorney General Miller adopted
deciding such course could be pursued,
and 1t is intimated that Mr.. Olney will
also hold to this judgment. 1t would
seem therefore that agitation of the bond
issue question is to be resumed.

tanned the result of the drawing held

The Post is the leading Democratic pa

and will have an examination before Com

NEW ARMY RIFLES.

The Ordnance Department Will Soon Be-
gin Their Manufacture.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The ordnance
department of the army is making prepa-
rations to begin the manufacture of the
new army rifles at Springfield armory
Immediately after the beginning of the
new fiscal year. The rifle is very small
caIibre intended to use smokeless powder
and is magazine arm. 1t is estimated
that within one year from July the total
output will be about II 900 rifles, which
is made possible by the use of the most
modern labor-saving machinery. This
number of rifles is probably sufficient to
arm tue entire infantry and artillery
branches.
The carbine for cavalry use has not yet
been designed but will be pushed forward
as rapidly as possible. 1t is expected at
the ordnance department that there will
be many calls for the new arm from state
militia organizations. These demands
will be met as fast as the army equipment
is complete, and the charge for the guns
will not be made against the special ap-
preparation OF $400, 1000 made for the sup
ply of the army, but against the regular
militia appropriations.

OMAHA, Neb., June 3.-The city re-
ceived dual visitation from the elements
this evening. All day rain had fallen in
termittently, the storm blowing from the
southeast. Sh ortly before z O'Clock the
wind chopped about to the north and in a
few moments the city was submerged by
one of the most disastrous floods ever ex-
perienced here. The rain was accom-
panied by heavy electrical display and
high winds and in the midst of the food
came fire that entailed a loss of nearly a
quarter million, with an additional hor-
ror of four deaths and many persons in
iured. The dead now known, all ire
men, are:
GEORGE COULTER.
p. J. NORRIS.
APTAIN Cox.
PlEI.MAN MORRISsEY.
When the storm was at its height
flames burst from the fifth story OF the
building occupied by the Shiyerick Fur
niture company on Farnum street. In
response to a general alarm all companies
OF the city department responded, but
the fire was beyond control. 1t enJalled
loss of 5000, 600, fully insured.
West of the Shiverick building was a
two-story structure occupied By Ed
MaurerF saloon ana restaurant. On Top
Of this building six iremen gaJhernd the
better to fight the flames. While they
were there the west wall of the
ShIverick block fell outward. Two of the
fremen heard cry of horror from the
crowd and leaped from the building only
to be buried by bricks on the sidewalk.
They We're quickly rescued from their
perilous predicament.
The fall of this wall crushed the two
sJoN building like an egg shell, and the
frelnen on the roof were carried down to
ar awful death.
George Coulter, superintendent of the
fire and police telegraph system, has Just
been extricated from the ruins crushed tc
a pulp by the weight of bricks.
Captain Cox of Hose company No. z,
was still alive when found beside Coulter
but his injuries resulted IN death shortly
after his removal.
3. J. Morris, pipeman of No. anC
Pipeman Morrissey of the same company
were found side by side still grasping the
nozzle, which they had chung to even il
death.
1t is in possible to search the Maurel
building further because of the heat anC
smoke, but there are thought to be
number of others in the wreck.
The damage from the storm is distrib
uted all over the city aud while not grea
in single instances, will amount to many
thousands IN the aggregate. Street cal
and other communica ton is cut off anC
no general estimate can be made rati
