GOLD VALUE OF SILVER DOLLAR.


A correspondent writes; 81 see
frequently 10 quotations from mono.
metallist paper. statements something
like this; According to yesterdays
bullion quotations the actual value Of
the silver dollar il only 90 cents Now
what want 10 know IL, how such u
result Ia obtained aud what the pro.
cess Of figuring"
Our correspondent should be made
acquainted with the fact In the outset
that the value OF silver dollar Ia one
hundred cents, no matter what the
bulls and bears Of Wall Street may he
able to do with the price OF silver
bullion. Tho meaning OF the
papers to which he alludes IL
that, comparing the market value
Of silver bullion per ounce with the
coined value Of gold, the metal that
goes TO make up a silver dollar "is only
worth 90 cents" or whatever the figure
may be. This, VI course, IL an alto
gethor unfair way Of presenting the rel.
alive values Of tho two metals. But that
feature we have frequently discussed
and need not DO no here. The arithmel.
ical question rs 10 how TO find the gold
value OF the silver dollar when the
price ofsllver isgiven is thus answered.
Multiply the market value Of silver by
TX; this gives the gold value Of the
silver dollar. The factor 77ii Is the
result obtained by dividing 87l.25, the
number OF grains Of silver la dollar,
by $50, the number Of grains In troy

A WORD on REGISTRATION.


"Touch them up again on the Inn

to NEWS man yesterday.
Certainly.
The appeal TO that patriotism which
should animate all good citizens 10 the

Transient species, the gang who have
no abiding interes, In go.d govern

always be depended On to vote up to

In this way, for a tramp's vote counts
az much a. that OF the Oldest resident,

We should like To see every man on

THE IONA DEMOCRATS.


A short time since the NEWS an.
nouncsd it, tolief that Iowa would go
Republican this fall for the reasons thpt
IL Is naturally n Republican state and
that tho refusal OF Governor Boies 10
run again hal deprived the Democracy
Of the man through whose great popu.
latlty II won the last two elections.
We will now have - revise that
opinion some little, at least 30 far a.
one Of the above reasons is concerned;
for the governor has revised his own
announcement and concluded to 10 ~
the party wants him to. He was unani-
mously TeBominated yesterday and
has accepted the nomination.
while his leadership makes the
fight little more uncertain rs to the
outcome than II would have been II he
were out Of II, we still hesitate TO pro.
dict with hope VI correctness that he
can win. The party In power IL
always held responsible for depressed
conditions In the country, whether just.
ly OF not; anu It Is Ihe extent 10 which
this will initiate On the one hand
against the GOVERNOR personal
strength on the other, that will likely
determine the result. IL will he a very
interesting contest, quite Us much 40

GEN. sherman and HIS Friend.

Gen. Sir John Bisset, X. @. b., an
English soldier who has long enjoyed
the Queens favor and who is known
on this side OF the water from his
command OF the troops in Canada.
was an Old-time friend Of the late
Gen. Sherman. Their intimate &C
ouaintance grew out Of visit Gen.
Sherman made to Gibraltar during
Grants administration at the time
Gen. Bisset was Governor OF that
stronghold. At the close of the visit
the hero of the march TO the sea gave
his host an American rifle elegantly
mounted In silver, and Sir John on
his part for years thereafter sent
Gen. sherman a brace OF English
pheasants every winter, timing the
departure of the game so that II
should arrive in New York in season
for old Tecumseh's Christmas dinner
The last present OF the kind reached
| New York while Sherman was on his
death bed, too i'll to eat the game
but he had the birds placed on hi
he'd to be looked at and admired
The letter acknowledging the receip
Of the game, written at the Generar
| direction, put 4 melancholy end u
| the long correspondence between tn
two friends. Gen. Bisset is now
handsome old gentleman with silver
hair but soldierly bearing, and |
chartered at Folkestone. New Iorl

At the Altar.

Marriage is always serious bust
ness, but not infrequently 1T nal
ludicrous accompaniments. An En-
glisn paper relates that a widower,
no longer young, gave the clergyman
who officiated at his second marriage
a good deal of trouble by his stupid
ity. He seemed to be possessed by
some spirit of contrariety.
When told to give his right hand
he gave his left. When the minister
said. "Say this after me-" he immed-
lately replied, "Say this after me. y
Then, when the words he was to re-
peat were given to him, he wa:
stolidly silent.
At last he seemed to be aware that
the minister was somewhat disturbed,
and in the middle OF the service ne
unset the reverend gentleman's grav
ity by volunteering this apology:
@You see, see, sir, it's so long since
/ married afore that you must excuse

MANY Captured British Fiage.

It is asserted that there are in the
Naval Institute Hall at the Annapo-
lis. Md, academy, more British flags
captured in war than at any one
place in the world. The collection
was first moved to the naval school
by order of President Polk on Febru-
ary Q, 1910. They are well preserved,
being closed up in cases made for the
purpose. Among the many might be
mentioned the following: Ensign OF
the Reindeer, captured June %, 1914,
by Captain johnson Blakely, OF the
Wasp; ensigns of the Cyane and Lee
want, captured February 20, 1915, by
Captain Charles Stewart, OF the Con-
stitution; ensign of the Java, cap
tured December 30, 1872, by Captain
william cambridge, of the Constella'
ton, now at Annapolis; ensign OF the
Boxer. captured during the war o.

The Old Lady.

One so seldom sees genuine old
lady nowadays. The devices OF the
perruquier, the complexion special
ties of the beauty doctor, the dress
aids and skill of the modern modiste,
all tend to keep the sweet, motherly
creature with snowy hair and old
world courtliness of manner in the
background. Frequently one won
ders what sort of memories the little
folks of to-day will have OF the
grandmother who looks as young and
dresses as gay as her daughter, and
insists on the children calling her
auntie. In comparison with this ex-
tremely frivolous elderly person we
think of our own grandmother, who
long years ago was laid to rest in TIE
country burying ground. How sweet
and aristocratic were the silver5
locks surmounted by the cap OF real
lace. No French twists and false
front pieces at variance with the color
of her hair for this dear old lady, who
wore gowns becoming to her years,
and whose face, with its wrinklet
unhidden or filed in by some time
destroyer of modern invention, looked
out upon the world from eyes Ions
used to spectacles which she was no
ashamed to wear. There was mor'
of dignified beauty in the growing
old of such woman than IN the van
strivings after a vanished you'll
which lead so many women to dres
like their own young daughters; t
accept every device toward the arti
ficiaI reproduction Of faded charms
and which leaves in the world to-da
so few of those lovely, womanl
women who have no desire to ape tn
manners and dress Of the young, an
who possess dignity and lovablenes
that the pitiful struggler after dt
parted days will never possess

Sam Franclsco.s samson.

= Edward T. Berry has been piano
mover in this city continuously the
seventeen years past, says the san
Francisco Examiner. Berry is a big
man, standing six feet, stocking clad,
and weighing 260 pounds. HE Is
SO well proportional, as not to appear
so heavy. He is a native son, having
been born forty-two years ago in Del
Norte County, near where Rouge
River meets with the sea. Del Norte
was a wilderness then, and Berry
grew up a sportsman and an angler,
pursuits which made him strong OF
limb and sound of wind. When a
youth he went in for athletics some
what, and was the premier wrestler
of Northern California until he was
apprenticed to a tanner and currier.
| That trade did not suit him, and he
tried horse training, profession In
which his strength first became no
ticeable. leaning followed, and as
one Of its most lucrative branches
Berry took up the moving of fine fur
| niture. His daily work Is to move
from fifteen to twenty pianos up and
| down stairs, sometimes several flights
Berry manages one end Of the piano,
while two men can barely handle the
other. The strong man also takes
the lower end in going up stairways
often being compelled to sustain the
whole weight of instruments or tn
grand" form, which weigh between
200 and 1900 pounds. He estl
mates his daily lifts Of dead weigh
to be fifty, and the weight lifted eacl
time to average j, 1000 pounds. A
the weights must be sustained for
length of time, the feat becomes tn
more remarkable. That so man
wears OF service at such tasking labO
has not broken him down Berry be
lieves is due to the fact that he ha
always been regular in his habits
sleeping long hours and refrainln
from drinking. He claims nothin
for himself as to strength, but alon
, Kearney street and among express
! men generally he is considered TN
Samson of the profession. Berry hs
{ never tested his strength to the ute
most, but thinks that with suitabl
harness he might lifts a ton and
half. Without such aids he woul
not care to lift more than LIST
: pounds, and would avoid such a Ii
u If possible.

AppIes Are Good.

Apples are splendid nerve tonic.
German analysts say that the apple
contains larger percentage Of phos-
phorous than any other fruit or vege-
table. The PHOSPHORUS Is admirably
adapted for renewing the essential
nervous matter, lecithin, Of the brain
and spinal cord. Also the acids OF
the apple are of signal use for men of
sedentary habits whose livers are
sluggish in action, those acids serving
TO eliminate from the body noxious
matter, which, il retained, would
make the brain heavy aud dull OF
bring about, jaundice or skin erup'
tions and other allied troubles.
