BOYS UNDER ooNEED NOT APPLY
At Frances old Mems Exhibition TO
be Held at Paris Next Month.

From fne PARIS Figaro.
! on the 18th 81 July there will be an old
mer-s show In Paris az the Palais des
Arts Libcraux. The affair win be under
the direction Of tho doctors connected
. with Science Medicale II is the inten-
ton of the organizers TO give the ching a
purely scientific value 10y gathering to-
. gether the elements Of "a serious DloiOgl-
/ cal inquiry: nevertheless, the picturesque
! view of 10 is not 10 be neglected. This
. c0ucoursc Of ancestors viii compensate
us for the eternal exni billions Of at Da-
/ bics and faded beauties.
+ The call is issued 10 the old people with
ont distinction of nationality, who are
{ armed with the documents proving that
I they have rounded the point Of ninety
I years All their travelling expenses Will
/ be paid they will DC lodged in good no
tells, and cared for in the best possible
manner Three gold medals will be
awarded, one 10 the oldest, one 10 tho
strongest. and one to the most intelligent
A prize Of 800 francs win also be awarded
to the laureate who will break the record
of longevity.
The old men will be quartered at the
Palais des Arts I.iberaux in a suite of
rooms. where they will receive their yisi-
tors and chat with them. The young fell
lows OF ninety win occupy the first room
near the door. Next TO them will be the
apartment Of their elders, and so on till
the bOudor Of the king of the festival is
reached.
Who viii be the patriarch? In the cen
sus of 1856 the official documents showed
the existence of 200 centenarians in
France. Under the direction of NJ. Tur-
guam, chief of the bureau Of statistics, an
inquiry was set on foot, the result Of
which was that the total of genuine cen
tenarians was reduced to eighty. Forty
two Were Just 100 years; fifteen, l0l;
seven, 1902: six, lO3; Ave, l04; three, 105;
one, 1l2. and one, 1l6. This last one was
named Rives and he lived in Tarbes. His
certificate Of baptism showed that he was
born on Aug. 81, no, at San-Estevcn-de-
Litera in the province of Huesca, Spain.
The next to him in age was woman born
in IVA in the commune Of RientOrd ct
UsclaeC in ArdeChe.
The hobbledehoys Of eighty have no
chance in the coming show. The COM
mittee has fixed upon ninety as the eli
gible figure. Unfortunately it is not very
probable that many of the old chaps who
have passed a hundred years will be
present at the show, and it is interesting
TO note that by far the greater number of
them inhabit the departments skirting
the Pyrenees.
But there is some satisfaction in the
well-fOunded hope that the feast will
have for its president DIR. de Boissy, who
was born on the ID of April, 1893, and has
praCtlced medicine for seventy years.
For fifty consecutive years he has prac-
ticed in HaVre. Last year he treated
many patients there suffering from the
cholera. A trip to Paris won't trouble
this old doctor in the least. He is still
vigorous, and on the 18th of May last, he
received enthusiastic applause for the
learned papers which he read in the CAPT
tai before the Society for the Encourage
ment Of WelldOing

SILVER DOLLARS.
voorhees, Introduces A Bill Pre-
siding for Coinage Of the
White Metal.

Washington, Dec. 14.-There wa'
but one matter of national importance
IN the session of the Senate. THAI
was the introduction by Mr.. Voorhees,
Chairman of the Finance Committee,
of bill providing for the coinage OF
the seigniorage, or profit, from the
silver coined and purchased under the
Bland and Sherman acts, at the rate
of two millions a month; the purchase
(after that coinage is completely of 81
900, 900 worth of silver bullion a
month; the withdrawal of all notes OF
less denomination than ten {;
the withdrawal of gold
coins, and the appointment of five
commissioners to an international con-
ference for the establishment ola ratio
between gold and silver. The bill
was referred to the Committee on
Finance.
When Senator Voorhees, was inter
viewed, he said:
Certainly no one will be surprised
by my introduction of such 4 bull.
Indeed it would have been very sur
prising had | not done 50. 1t had all
the time been my openly declared pur-
pose in the Senate, and in all other
proper places, to follow the repeal OF
the Sherman act with other and wiser
and saf;r legislation ON the subject OF
silver money. | have never, for a
moment, thought that the coinage and
use Of silver was to cease in this coun-
try. On the contrary, the repeal OF
the Sherman act pledges the Govern
ment to the use and coinage of gold
and silver money alike.
CAS- a part of our domestic currency
we can, in this country, and with great
advantage to our people, use large
of silver. France, with one
half our population, carries over seven
hundred millions of silver money in
and maintaines its parity |
with gold at ratio of 10 to I, while !,
loiny husiness IN q cold basis with |
foreign nations around her. Admit
ing that, for the present at least, we
ire diven TO transact our commercial
abroad according to gold standard,
yet our gigantic progress and home
development, pushed onward by our
seventy millions of people, will absorb
| thousand millions of silver currency
without undue initiation, disturbance

A FREE TRADER.
Master Workman Sovereign Fay'
Ors No "Makeshifts"-WOrk-
ingmen Not Protected.

Washington, Dec. l6.-Master
Workman Sovereign. recently chosen
to succeed T. V. Powderly as the head
of the Knights of Labor, is in Wash
ington to attend a conference of silver
leaders. In talk with the Associat-
e | Press Mr.. Sovereign outlined his
policy, some of his views being in
marked contrast with those of his pre-
decessor.
81 am against strikes said he, 81
have been in labor organizations for
years and have never yet been in a
strike. They are the very last extrem-
ity to be resorted to, and even then
they should be unaccompanied by
force and should be dignifed and
peaceful protest on the part of labor
against the terms given it. The bal
lot is much more effective in redressing
wrongs than strikes or arbitrations.
Mr.. Sovereign was asked as to his
position on the tariff. 1t will be re
membered that his predecessor was
protectionist.
II am an out-and-out free-trader,"
said he. 81 believe in no makeshifts
or partial deductions of tariff taxation.
The so-called protrection to American
labor is a delusion. Labor is not pro-
tected. Invested capital receives a
bonus in the form of protection aud it
is then optional with the capitalist to
give share of the bonus to labor in
the form of Increased wages. But
this option is seldom is ever exercis-
ed"
Mr.. Sovereign added that the tariff
and all other questions would be made
econdary to the mon ey issue, which
was a subject on which the Knights of
Labor and all industrial orders would |
Join. He says the Knights are about
to enter upon new era of prosperity.
About 1000 street-car workers and as
many more clothing operatives will
be taken into the order at New York.
Mr. Sovereign will soon leave for a
tour of North Carolina, Arkansas and
Indian Territory to organize new
branches of the order.

Willy WILEY RILEY.
He Takes Mr., Kennady's Wife
and Runs Away With Her.
They Were Both Members or the
Same Church and Stood Well.

The neighborhood of New Bethel
church is very much torn up over a
sensation involving two families who
have heretofore stood well with all
who knew them, at least until very
few weeks ago.
Wiley Riley, farmer, and mem
Der Of the church named, lived close
toanothcr farmer named Kennedy.
A short time since Rileys wife discov.
cred evidence of her husbands unfaith
fulness, and charged him with it,
making Mr.. kennady Il sharer in his
sin. Riley at first denied it but gave
in when the proof was shown him.
She treatencd 10 sue for divorce, but
Riley persuaded her not to make fuss,
promising that he would mend his
ways and be true TO her. About this
time the matter reached the ears of
some of the members of the church,
and they took steps in the matter by
following out the directions laid down
in Matthew V. A brother went to
him and demonstrated with him, ard
then a committee, headed by the pas
tor, waited on him. They took his
acknowledgement and affected a per-
manent reconciliation between him
and his wife, on the ground of a sol
emn pledge to discontinue his relations
with Mrs. Kennady. The latter was
also member of the church and il
was proposed to discipline her, but she
did not give them time, for rs soon as
she could see Riley they made plan
to run away together. This was sue
cessfully accomplished few nights
ago and Mr.. Riley and Mrs. Kennady
are now sojourning in a strange land.
Mrs. Kennady was living with her
third husband, although she is COM
paratively young woman. There was
more or less mystery attached to the
death of her first two lords, and there
was much gossip about their dissolu-
ton, though no one ever openly an
nounced the cause of death of the two
men, and is probable that the gossip
was wrong, resting rs it did on Mrs.
Kennady's reputation for gayety. She
had children by at least two of her
husbands and she took one or two of
them with her. Riley left a wife
behind.

Have an Interesting Inter.
view,

The Enterprise is panied to an
nounce breach between Col. Jordan
Giles and Manager j. L. Downing.
The old company being on the verge
of bankruptcy through bad manage
ment, Col. Giles having a controlling
interest in the plant, got an option
for ninety days on the shaft and as
sumed charge on the 14th Of last
month. Mr.. Downing, who had been
retained as Superintendent, under
stood that he was to expect his salary
tor the latter half of the month from
Col. Giles, but was told afterward that
he must look to the old company. 1t
seems that dispute arouse also over
giving up the combination to the safe
and turning over the books till Mr..
Downing had received official Motif
cation so to do.
Col. Giles and Manager Downing
met near the postoffce Tuesday and
after passing several compliments
highly sailed and peppered with ad-
jectives, the Colonel went to his valise
and got a revolver which he drew on
Mr.. Downing. The latter, instead of
being scared, continued to the Colonel
what high opinion he had of him
and thus the matter ended.

Giles for carrying concealed weapons.
Bond was given and the Colonel re-
leased.-Stnrgis Enterprise.

vile. Five bodies were recovered
from the wreck.
Capt. Devan and hi two crews Of
life savers were the heroes Of the day,
6ashing right in the midst Of the
wreckage to pull out the dead and in-
jursd. Captain Devan thinks that
some Of the bodies have been carried
over the falls. 1t will take several
days TO recover the bodies as most Of
them are pinned down by the heavy
iron trusses which fell on top of the
false work. The bridge company has
100 men at work and will extricate
the bodies from the wreckage as soon
rs possible.
A BOILER EXrLoDEs.
When the second part Of the false
work fell and engine and boiler went
with it, and when the boiler hit the
debris it exploded, but no one is known
10 have been struck by the flying frag-
ments. The lives of the bridge work
men were insured for 81, 500 each.
To whose doors must be laid the
responsibility for the terrible disaster
will probably never be known.
1t is doubtless only one of those UNI
foreseen accidents that accur in spite
Of ali precautionary, measures. Bridge
building, probably more than any
other thing, is fraught with manifold
dangers, and the workmen whose labors
are utilized in the work practically
take their own hands. General opin-
ion ascribes the cause Of the disaster
to the stiff wind that has been sweep
ing the river all day.
THE WIND DID IT.
1t bore NTH great force on the pom
derous frame work which necessarily
became loosened from the constant
strain and swaying of the heavy tim
ben. A great number Iof people, be-
fore the first span tell, could see the
great traveller" rising so feet above
the piers. swaying and sbivering in
the wind in what appeared to be the
most alarming manner to those on
shore.
The motion, however, was hardly
noticeable to the workmen and they
bad no idea OF their deadly peril until
the great mass of wood and iron began
TO sink and the awful cracking and
of the timbers smote upon
their ears. That the structure was
otherwise than safe was not thought |
Of by the engineers in charge or the
workmen.
