Gracious Act of a Queen.

the little King and his two nurses

BOUND FOR HADES.
That's Where Senator Stewart Says
the Country Is Going.

In recent interview in New York
Senator Stewart of Nevada is credited
with the following statement:
81 have no doubt the Sherman silver
law will be repealed. The country is
going to hades. I had hoped for help
in warding off the catastrophe, but the
Democrats and great many of the Re-
publicans, too, seem to have gone crazy.
cannot answer for the consequences
and am glad do not have to share
the responsibility. I am afraid Mr..
Cleveland made mistaken when he at
tributed the present trouble to unwise
legislation.
''He may have referred TO the mint
act of 1873. IF SO he is correct But if
be referred to the Sherman act he is
mistaken. It's repeal might give tenn
porary relief by deceiving the people
and making them believe the evil had
been removed, but the evil lies deeper.
It is deficiency of gold. There is too
much of both gold and silver to furnish
an adequate basis OF circulation and
credit. The destruction of silver by re-
peal of the Sherman act will destroy
more than half of the basis of circula-
tion and credit and leave the United
States without sufficient gold to sustain
confidence, and the probabilities are the
trouble viii go on. / hope wise coun-
sells will prevail and the business COM
munity look the situation in the face
and devise some scheme whereby the
circulation and credit of the country
will be on firm foundation. I have no
doubt the Sherman silver law will be re-
pealed, but if it is repealed without a
substitute of some XII ld it seems inevita-
bly, certain time vii grow worse and

FRAUDULENT PENSIONS.
A Lot Them Unearthed Near Little
Rock, Arkansas,

LITTLE Rock, July 2S.-Pension exam
iner Rondbush has unearthed numer-
Gus frauds in securing pensions, which
disclose a shamelessness and rascality
on the part of applicants and witnesses
that is appalling. Already numerous
arrests have been made, and several
parties bound over to wait the action
of the Federal Grand Jury.
So far as developed the arrests have
been confined to the negro population.
It is well known that war widow cuts
off her pension by re-marrying, but
that fact does not seem to have stood
in the way of the average applicant.
Greedy and unscrupulous pension
agents take advantage of the gullibilitv
of the ignorant class and have gotten
them into serious trouble by inducing
them to make false affidavits.
In the case of Martha Seruggs, who
applied for pension on account of be-
ing the widow of Thomas Burton, she
made affidavit that she had never re-
married, when in fact she remarked
twice and had la4ge family of children
by her second husband, one Hickey,
one of them, girl, being librarian in u
colored Baptist Sunday School. Yet,
her brothers and sisters, many Of them,
swore that their mother was unmarried.
She and har cO-cOpSDirat tors togpf III or
with the new pension agent. E. c. Nose
ley, Jr., are all under bond. Some of
the witnesses, it turns out, were profess
sionals who would swear to any body's
statement for little money.
These frauds have been carried on
for years, and there is no telling how
many supposed widows are drawing
pensions from Uncle Sam. Numerous
Notaries have attested these false afii-
davits, witnessed signatures, etc, with
out knowing the parties or even inquir-
ing whether they were the parties they
said they were. 1t is possible that the
next Federal Grand Jury may investi-
gate many such cases.
To-day Charles Johnson, colored, was
put under $500 bond for swearing that
his wife was still the widow Of Spencer
Teleo, colored soldier, who was killed
in the war. Charles married Amanda
Teleo in 1868. Amanda was also bound
over in the same sum.

Worlds Fair Exhibits.

ORLD' FAIR GROUNDS CHICAGO, j uly
29.-The heliograph signalling at the
Exposition covers distance of four
miles, but the instrument has really
signalled eighty and one hundred miles.
By pressure on key, the flashes can
be made of long or short duration. Two
mirrors are used 80 that the signalling
may be carried on irrespective of the
SUMS position, and screws adjusting the
mirrors make it possible to have the
rays strike any desired point. The
signals at the Exposition amuse the
spectators, but would probably be more
interesting could what was being said
by the bright flashes be understood by
the crowd.
Poets day at the Exposition is to be
August %. A procession Of bards,
scalds, and troubadours with Tyre,
harp, and Lutte will open the day. In
the evening the "Midsummer's Night
Dream" is to be given in the open air.
An ideal scene is to be created for it, in
which real trees and artificial scenery
will mingle as do the world and fairy
land in the play.
Canada's big cheese and Germ any's
chocolate statue have a rival in the
American collection, where a figure
sixteen feet high, representing Mrs.
Betsey Ross making the first American
flag. modelled in soap, illustrates the
ingenuity of manufactures of that use
full product.
The little kingdom of Corea is emf
nently prosaic in it's exports; beans,
cowhides, and rice being the principal
items, but at the exposition her object
seems to be to deceive the world into
the idea that she is frivolous nation.
Feathers and fans, and gold, silver, and
coral jewelry are the principal exhibits.
The country manufactures paper, and
specimens of articles made from this
are shown. The silk in the exhibit is
of good quality. The display is install
ed in a small pavilion in the Manufac-
lures building.
The Forestry building, 500 feet long,
is constructed entirely of logs and sap
Inns, held together with wooden pins,
the use of staff and nails being careful
ly avoided. Within, it's furnishings
are as exclusively wooden, but the va
riety of specimens exhibited seems DOS
itively unlimited. Japan shows her
woods in little bamboo pavilion, with
baskets, mating, and straw work. A
doorway in carved teak wood forms the
entrance to India's pavilion. The en-
trance to Brazil's pavilion is draped
with curtains made from the bark Of
trees. Siam sends table made from a
teak wood log which had been kept for
100 years. In the Russian pavilion
are miniature RATS and everything else
connected with the distilling of pitch
from her pine trees.

IT WILL Be EXCITING.
JEALOUS CONTESTS EXPECTED IN THE
COMING EXTRA SESSION.
The Sherman Law and Tariff Legislation Are the
Points to Be Contested.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-That the
Sherman law will be repealed at the
coming extra session of congress scarce
ly any one believes. The fight will be
momentous, that is conceded on all
sides. 1t is said that there are protec-
tionists who pose as democrats who
will not hesitate to give aid to silver
men from republican states provided
that later those republicans join in
protecting intere SITS in which those
democrats will be much concerned
when tariff reform legislation shall be
attempted.
The pre- sident has seen through ex-
listing conditions very thoroughly and
it is bis courage and confidence which
strengthen his adherents in each wing
Of the capital They know he is hon
est, able, patriotic and firmly rooted in
the hearts of the people. They hope
and believe that his influence will give
them power for victory.
Yet the presidents most ardent
friends look not for an easy victory.
That the extra session will run in to the
regular session is conceded, and that
the regular session will extend we'll
into next August, 1894, is generally ad-
mitted.
The tight will be bitter. The action
of the house cannot even be regarded
as final, for in the senate cloture can
not be applied. There will be no change
in the rules in that respect. When the
democratic senators fought the force
bill in fighting cloture they had the
constant aid of republican western SEN
ators, who now battle for free silver,
or at least against unconditional repeal
of tee Sherman law. Now the democrats
will repay past favors.
There are no Missourians yet on the
ground. Tarsney is expected back from
Europe next Friday. Burnes and Dock
cry are already overdue. The other
members are expected every day, for
| the democratic caucus is to be held
next Saturday night. Their coming is
not awaited with such eagerness as it
might be if there was to he fight on
the speakership. or if their position
on the silver question was not we'll
known. Cobb is believed here to be
the only Missourian who would vote
for tbe unconditional repeal of the
Sh erman Law.
Senator Stewart, Of Nevada. who is
looked upon as the free silver leader,
was here, but left to attend the silver
congress at Chicago. Mr.. Stewart, who
has been famous in the past for his
speeches on silver, gives the assurance
that there will be no attempt to filibus-
ter by either himself or his associates
in the senate, they having concluded
that policy of delay would be unwise.
He holds that tariff legislation, and
not silver action, is what is needed by
the country and declares that the next
six months will show truth of his
words.
