The intention OF tho advocates Of
the repeal OF the Sherman act ia
10 suggG6t reasonable time for
the debate ON all questions, with
the understanding that vote
will be taken at tho conclusion.
This COuTHe, IL IL understood,

Of the President. The plan 10 10 have
the free silver men open the ball with
bill ambolyiug their demands; then
the ahti.sllver men will present sub.

and the struggle begun. Both
sides are OF the opinion that vote
can be reached In two
weehs after the debate has begun.

the anti.silveT men, says they iwill not
make more than three speeches, leaving
the rest Of the time 70 the sliverites.

French NediRyalist Doctors,

Montmartre, which, in addition to its no.
torious 'brasseries" and "beuglants," or
low music halls, possesses also Votive
church, has been recently witnessing pill
grinage of doctors to it's summit. One of
the chapels Of the Basilica of the Saere
C9ur is consecrated to the African saints,
Cosmo and Damian, or Damianus, who are
the patrons of medical practitioners, and a
mass was said therein for the benefit of
modern venerators of the two pious brethren
who suffered martydom under the Emperor
Diocletian in the beginning of the Fourth
century.
DR.. Ferran was the leader of the medical
pilgrims among whom were numerous
members Of the faculty. not only from Paris
but from all the large towns in France
The pious practitioners belong to what is
known as the 'Confraternity of St. Cosmo,"
which is one OF the oldest established asso.
Citations of the kind in Paris. In the -Four
teenth and Fifteenth centuries the Paris
doctors used to repair annually to the little
town of LuZarchen-P Parisis, in the depart
ment of the Seine-et-O Disc, where a crusader
of old had deposited the bodies of SITS. Cos
mo and Damian. Pilgrimages to Luzarche
church were for II long time discontinued
by the disciples Of Galcn, but they have of
late years been revived by few doctors
who were desir6us Of continuing old tradi
tions. London Telegraph.

American Public Manners.

A grave criticism of American public
manners comes from young southerner
who has spent many years in Europe and
South America. He was walking down
Pennsylvania avenue when the sad process
sion from the White House went to the
train. The curbstone was fringed with a
curious multitude, which stood and gazed
without displaying the slightest sign of
of sympathy or respect. Partly from habit,
partly for examples sake, this foreign bred
American lifted his hat as the hearse
passed Immediately attention WAS trans
ferred from the line of carriages to the man
who would do so extraordinary thing in
public place For a moment he was the
center of observation for a block around;
then the main event of the day again
claimed the eyes Of the crowd.
"A row of animals could have stood and
stared as they did" exclaimed the wrath
full gentleman in telling the incident. IF
we pretend to be human we might as well
take some trouble to justify the claim'-

Dcceitfu1 Appearances.

Twas chatting with a Montague street
real estate man in his Office few days
ago, when q w pman entered who attracted
the attention of both of US. She was
middle aged, very plain in face and fig
ure and wore a black dress which was
patched and ripped in many places. Her
entire appearance denoted poverty and
misery and indicated that she had q
great struggle to keep the wolf from en-
tering at her door. Instinctively feeling
that the woman was a beggar, we were
about to offer her some money, when she
astonished us little by saying she had
some private business with the real estate
man.
They went into his inner office and
were engaged for about fifteen minutes
in earnest conversation. After she had
gone and my friend had ceased to gaze
in open mouthed amazement at her van
ishing figure, he enlightened me as to her
object in the following manner: "Well,
I'll be darned! That woman wanted to
buy $40, 900 piece of property have for
sale, and she had So 900 in her pocket to

Couldn't Master Physiolory.

A teacher in the high school tells good
story about a colored lad who has passed
through the mysteries of the three RS and
is now delving into the mysteries of the
sciences as taught in our public schools.
When the present school year opened this
colored lad found himself confronted with
physiology. He went at it with all the al
dor of an ambitious youth, but as soon as
the class had reached the real gist of the
study he began to fall hopelessly behind
His teacher expostulated with him, but to
no purpose. The teacher was in despair
At last she sent the derelict to Professor
Lewis, thinking that it might do some
good. The lad appeared before the pro-
fessor and was mildly lectured on what ap-
peared to be his Incidence. The lad lis
tened for a time and then said
II have done my best tt keep up with my
class in this, professor, but l can't do it.
When l get to thinking about my insides

Hard Luck of Two Lucky Men.

Early in the present century two
brothers of the peasant class were labor
ing in the fields when their tools struck
against metallic substance, which
proved to be massive chain many
pounds in weight which they took to be
of brass and carried away with them,
thinking it might be useful as a plow
chain. On reaching their humble cot
tage the weight and luster of the metal
aroused their attention. A link Of the
chain was detached and taken to the
nearest town, was tested and proved to
be fine gold. The fortunes of the men
were assured could they have kept their
own counsel, but boasting of their pros
poets and spending money lavishly on
the strength of them, curiosity and sus-
picion were aroused. Wives and chill
dren chatted about the wonderful find,
and at last the officers of the crown de-
scended upon the scene. The treasure,
which proved to be worth several thou
sand pounds, was snatched from its find
ers, who, for all result of their ''good
fortune" were awarded term of i'm
prisonment at the following assizes.-

Seven Eirhts Are Fifty-six.

Mr.. Gould was not free from superstition.
Two weeks before he died he was riding
down town with a Wall street friend, to
whom he remarked how well he was feeling.
He said with enthusiasm that the night be
fore he ate two bowls of bread and milk,
and then went to bed and slept soundly for
twelve hours. His friend asked him how
old he was.
"Oh, Pm Il young man yet" was the
evasive reply
The friend apologized for seeming inquisi-
tive and added Pardon my inquiry
only happened to be thinking of an odd
thing heard yesterday. Did you ever hear,
Mr.. Gould, that once every seven years a
man runs extraordinary risks, and that
whenever man has birthday divisible
by seven he is in danger?"

millionaire IL little uneasily. Then he turned
to his newspaper. His friend noticed that

a foolish superstition. Mr.. Gould assented.
Then they talked of Wall street and the
