THE IMPENDING CRISIS.
The Small Gold Apex Cannot Much Longer
Support the PYra mid of Credit.

The Small Gold Apex Cannot Much Longer
support the Pyramid of Credit.
After giving a list of the large num-
Der of banks which have recently failed
and showing the enormous percentage
in increase of business failures over the
corresponding period of last year, the
Clay Center, Kan, Dispatch says:
''These are bank failures alone. The
number of failures in other lines is i'm
mense, and this is only partial record
of one weeks business" Gentle
reader, don't you think this is great
showing considering that we have
neither free trade, free coinage of sill
yer or fiat money (?) in this country2
1t is quite evident that the trouble all
comes from the populist victory in
Kansas last fall.
THE best finance system the world
ever saw! Plenty of money if you've
got something to sell. More per cap
ita" than ever before! 1t was not be-
cause of scarcity of money that these
failures took place! Oh no; it was be-
cause those fellows couldn't pay their
debts, that's all, If they could have
paid up promptly everything would
have gone smoothly with them. The
reason they couldn't pay is because the
per capita is larger than it ever was
before. The reason we know it is
larger is because the late Secretary
Foster says SO, and of course he would
not prevaricate about little thing like
that. If some conservative statesman
will only get hold of the machine and
stop his eXtravagant increase in the
circulating medium we will soon be
able to get down to ''solid basis
again. The expansion of the volume
of money especially fiat money'-is
always followed by wild speculation.
Fut down the cranks and let us 90 back

The Georgia AI,ianc.

Through the earnest and systematic
work of Hon. c. ii. Ellington, the alli-
ance is rapidly perfecting its organiza-
ton all over the state. Under his able
management the order now possesses
an effective lecture service, full treas
ury, and first-class newspaper. It
cannot be too often impressed upon our
farmers that they, as farmers, should
be organized. Under our system of to-
day the organization is everything.
And the farmers alone are without it.
So long as this situation continues they
are at the mercy of other classes. -Peo-

THE ESCURIAI.
Gorgeous Tomb of All the Spanish King.

Gorgeous Tomb of All the Spanish Kings
since the Time of Charles the Fifth.
On leaving the sacristy we descend
into the royal tomb or Pantheon, for
such is the term given by the Catholic
Spaniards to a Christian burial-place.
This vault, placed exactly gbeneath the
high altar of the church, is an octapon
room thirty-six feet in diameter and
thirty-eight feet high. You descend
into it by means of staircase whose
walls are lined with green and yellow
polished jasper. The walls of the Pan
theon are of polished marble, porphyry
and jasper, richly ornamented with
gilt-bronze capitals, bases and angels,
the whole executed by Italian artists
after the death of Philip II. AS an in

quez had with his own hands fixed in
its place the bronze crucifx bv
Pedro Tacca, which he had brought
back from Italy. The octagon
walls contain twenty-six inches or
shelves, on each of which is a gray
marble sarcophagus or urn of classical
shape On the left are the kings and
on the right the mothers of kings, from
Charles v. down to our own times. In

WHICH IS THE WIDOW e?

Two Women Claiming Rights in
the Ellis Estate.
The proposition to administer the
estate of the late Mathew Ellis is Great
ing considerable interest in the probate
court, and the attorneys in the matter
have sharp fight on hand from the
fact that two women are cOntending as
to which is the widow of Ellis. The
estate is worth about $4,000 Ellis was
foreman of the Omaha shops in this
city, aud died in California last fall,
whittier he went two years ago to re-
gain his health. A will was in'eXistence
as late as 1891. which left part Of the
property to a sister In England. The
two women claiming the widows share
in the estate were in the probate court
yesterday, accompanied by copsidera
bic number of friends. .One of the
women is past middle age, and
is plain in manner and appearance;
the other is quite handsome and
comedy looking, being much younger;
the latter wore a widows cap and was
attired in deep mourning. Mr.. Ellis
was married number OF years ago to
Rachel Ellis, from whom he was di-
vorced at Hudson. in Wisconsin, i'll the
year 1854. A short time thereafter he
married Flora Wilson at La Crosse,
Wis. Miss Wilson was then an en-
ploye in the Office of the White Sewing
Machine company at Minneapolis. Wife
No 2 admitted yesterday that she had
seen the will of her husband as late as
Dec, 81, 1891. She had free access to
his papers. Her story is that the will
was destroyed. Wife No. claims that
the divorce from her was Illegal, and
that she is the legal wife of Mr.. Ellis
and entitled to share Of his estate to
the exclusion of the younger woman.
The hearing Of the evidence will be
continued today.

Estate.
No Clue to the Identity Of the

Police. {

The board of fire commissioners, the
mayor and Chief Jackson held an in
formal meeting yesterday afternoon
and discussed several matters OF mo-
ment regarding fire protection. A visit
was made to the fire station at the cor
ner Of Ashland avenue and Victoria
street. AT this place chemical is sta
toned, and the board l1aS been re-
quested to replace 7thiS place
of apparatus with an en-
CINE. While no DECISION was
arrived at yesterday in all probability
the change will be made. The party
also visited the territory north of Uni
versity avenue between Harrington and
Dale streets. with view to selecting
site for a new engine house. Residents
and taxpayers in this section of the city
have frequently petitiOned the fire board
to give them additional protection
against fire. The trip yesterday was
made to enable the commissioners to
look over the ground. The matter was
discussed informally, and should
the proposed new station be
erected it Will be located near
the corner of Dale and University.
The advsability of securing the neces-
sary legislation to erect a pumping sta
ton at the foot of Sibley street was also
considered. The proposed plan is to
put pumping station at the foot of
Sibley street and lay mains and locate
hydrants in each block in, the business
district bounded by Robert street,
Broadway, Seventh and Third streets.
The cost, including pumping station,
pump and the laying of mains and by
drants, is estimated at $50, 600
BY the proposed system water
would be furnished by direct
pressure and in case of fire all that
would be necessary would be to faSten
on the hose and turn on the hydrant.
Several of the commissioners are conf
dent that the plan is a good one, and
the probabilities are the legislative
delegation will be asked to arrange for
the issuance of bonds to carry out the
idea.
