WALL STREET WINS.

THE HOUSE.
The British Bond Holders and
Cleveland Carry the Day.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The gal
leriss of the House were crowded
long before the time for its assem-
bling by parties interested in the re-
suit of the balloting on the silver
question after two weeks debate.
When the Speaker raped for order
at noon nearly every seat i'll the hall
was filled. While waiting for the
call to order Bland freely admitted
that the claims of the antl-silver men
of a majority of fifty were well
founded and might be exceeded. 1t
looked as if the Wilson bill might 60
through with little or no friction.
After reading the journal, Weaver
of New York appeared at the bar of
the House and was sworn in,
Then the clerk reported the reso-
luton containing the order of pro
ceedure on the silver question, pro-
viding a vote first on the free coin
age of silver at ratio of 16 to L,
Bailey of Texas, asked if in case
all the amendments as to ratios were
defeated would it be in order to pro
pose an additional amendment.
The Speaker thought not, but
would hear the gentleman on the
subject when the time came to form
ally present the subject,
McMillion of Tennessee wished to
offer an amendment for the free coin
age of the product of the silver mines
of the United States.
Bland objected even to its reading
saying it was not free coinage at all.
Then the Wilson bill, repeating the
silver purchase clause of the Sher-
man act, was read and Bland offered
his first amendment for free coinage
at the ratio of 16 to l. 1t was de-
feated-yeas 124 to 226, amid ap-
plause from the arti-silver men, who
did not expect so large a majority.
On the vote of II to /, besides the
loss of votes of the Populist mem
bers of that party Withholding their

cast by those who favored the ratio

He Caught Her Oh the Fly.

A few evenings ago a gentleman
stepped from a train at one of the
London stations, when a young lady
skipped up to him, threw her arms
rapturously about his neck and kissed
him many times, saying:
"Oh, papa, I'm SO glad you have
GOMEZ"
The old gentleman threw both
arms around her and held her firmly
to his breast. Soon she looked up
into his face, and horrors stood in
her eyes.
ooh, my you are not my papa!
she said trying to free herself from
his embrace.
Eyes l am" insisted the old gen
tleman, holding her tightly: "You
are my long lost daughter, and I'm
going to keep you in my arms till l
get policeman.
When the officer came he found
the old gentleman's diamond pin in
the girls hand.

Funeral of HI. b. LOOMS.

III. b. Loomis, a we'll known jour>
nalist of the Comstock, was buried
in Stockton last Saturday, and his
funeral was one of the largest that
city has seen for long time.
Years ago he was connected with
the Enterprise in Virginia City, and
no more sincere or honorable man
ever lived than he.
Some years ago he became a The
osophist, and it is a teaching of this
faith that death is merely transition
from this sphere to higher one, and
is not an occasion for sorrow or
mourning.
The writer called on him a few
days before his death. All hope of
his recovery had been abandoned by
his family, yet they were as cheerful
as if nothing extraordinary was
about to happen. Mrs. LOOMS is
one of the leading Theosophists of
the Coast and the cheerful manner in
which she faced the coming demise
of man who was so devotedly loved
by her for a quarter of a century,
speaks volumes for the power of a re
ligion of which so little is known 10
most Of u.s. Even the dying man
faced the inevitible with calm
resignation, and in his last moments

There is no journal on the coast
that can argue finance with more
ability than the Stockton Mail. A
year ago it was not a very pronounced
silver organ but it is now striking
telling blows for the white metal.
The Mail never starts out to argue
with the idea that it must make an
assertion and stick to it forever.
1t started to discuss finance with a
view of learning something of the
silver question and being guided by
what it heard. 1t finally reached the
conclusion that silver was not recelv-

The want of money for the purpose
of moving the grain crops is acutely
felt all over the country. All sorts
of devices are recommended but the
free circulation of silver, which would
answer the purpose and set all un-

The Bartine Fund.

The APPEALS efforts in the di-
rection Of raising a fund to help pay
Ex-Congressman Bartine's expenses,
while fighting for silver in Washing
ton, has resulted in collecting $3.50
by popular subscription. 1t is but
fair to say that the largest single
subscriptions came from Republi-
cans.
The most amount given by one
person was 81 by Mayor Hofer.
We had supposed that some of our
wealthy men would give more than
one dollar, but they didn't.
1t was a somewhat melancholy cir
cumstance that the Tribune, which
of late bowls for free coinage and
silver, although repeatedly called on
to subscribe dollar, declined to do
so.
This was not surprise to anyone
however.
The lady who edits the News came
up 'like man" with her subscript-
ion.
Although the subscription has
closed, it is still not too late for the
Tribune to give dollar.

THEY MAKE GOOD LrvINes.
Typewriterss Pretty and Otherwise,
and What They Earn.


Typewriters and typewriting machines
are two different things, but they always
go together. Ten years ago there were
not dozen in Savannah. Now there are
over $50 tpyewriting machines in daily
use in the city and almost as many more
operators are employed.
The traditional pretty typewriting girl
is a happy addition 10 a well appointed
Office. Like all other things there are
some who are pretty and some who are
not, but they are all in the same boat, so
to speak, and only the competent ones are
paid the highest salaries. The boys and
men in this work in Savannah number
over 200. They command salaries of from
$50 to $3.50 month, filling very response
bic and confidential positions with their
employers. Girls are quicker, as a gen
eral thing, to learn stenography than
boys, and in many cases they are paid
better salary when they get their first
start in the business word.
A court stenographer must be an expert
and is paid accordingly, the work is more
difficult and entirely different from ordi-
nary correspondence.
Before stenOgraphy and typewriting be-
came so universal there were a large
number of girls who were at loss TO
know just where to turn TO make living.
With reduced circumstances, no fondness
and, in some cases, 10 ability for teach
ing, unable to earn enough with their
needle, they.gladly undertook the study
of shorthand and Immediately found posi-
lions when they were competent to fill
them.
Their salaries range all the way from $50
TO $50 month, and Savannahian who is
in close touch with the stenographers and
typewriters, and who knows a good deal
about them, was asked yesterday what
became of the graduates OF the phono-
graphic schools.
Why, they are everywhere. Go into
any store, business office, or professional
mans office, and you won't ask that
question again.
IF you count them" said the gentle
man, you will find not less than 400
young men and women in Savannah earn
ing their living as shorthand writers and
typewriters. A few years ago there
were not more than half dozen young
women shorthand writers and typewriters
In the city. Now there are over 100.
"Whatare the ages of the girls who are
now engaged in shorthand"
There are some as young as Is, and
others, well, to be frank with you, were
10 when they started ten years ago. They
are IN all lines of business, commercial
and professional. In the lawyers offices,
where the work is more difficult, large
salaries are paid.
monographs have not been used here
to any extent. although one business man
said 1t was Godsend to be able to talk
to 1t and not be answered back as his
pretty stenographer is won't to do

AND STILL THEY COME.
Another oountryman Gets an Idea of
City Life,


D. A. Williams, of Bulloch county, came
into the city day before yesterday He
had very primitive ideas of what life in a
big town meant. He will depart sadder
and wiser man.
In his rambles among the re
treats of the city he drifted
in an unlucky hour into Yamacraw.
After short stroll he entered a saloon
on Farm street. Williams acknowledged
that at the time he was intoxicated
While in the saloon he was robbed, he
says, of about $50. He didn't discover his
loss until he had gone into the house of
Eliza Ford, colored. He Immediately
went before Justice Thomas Sheftall and
stated his case, duplicating Hector Bush
and Dora HOLMES, better known
as "Chucky'' Bacon, in the
theft, and the negroes were
summoned as witnesses. AT the
trial of the case, Chucky stated that she
was in the barroom when Williams en-
tered, and shortly after yellow pocket
book, containing $45 in bills was handed
her by Hector Bush, who was also pres
emit. She gave the money to the bar
keeper to keep for her, and on the return
of it gave him 81. -..-
Bush said that he saw Chucky take the
money from Williams pocket. John r.
Mayer, in whose place the alleged rob-
berry occurred, admitted that he had
had been given book by Chucky, but
said she told him it contained valuable
papers. He stated that it was his usual
custom to hold things for safe keeping
for his customers. He denied receiving
the Sl2.
Eliza Ford, the negro woman to whose
house, at Lumber and Zubly streets,
Williams went, claimed no knowledge of
the affair When searched a bunch of
keys and match box belonging to Will
liams were found in her stocking.
Justice Sheftall, after all the evidence
was in, committed Chucky Bacon, Eliza
Ford and Bush to Jail on a charge of lar
ceny from the person. A warrant was is
sued against Mayer, and he gave bond
and employed Barrow and Osborne to de-
| fend him.
The apparent Discrepancy between the
sum of S45 as stolen, and the $50 which
| Williams claimed to have had, was ex-
| planned by the statement of the country
man that he had drank several times
| since he came into the city
