The FURRY Believed to Be Over
Increasing the Gold Balance.

4HC4 C0SAA5 lAC WIN 0o1oASC'
Washington, December 20.--Infor
nation was received at the Treasury
Department to day to the effect that
the financial furry in New York is
practically over for the present, and
that there is no longer and prospect
of panic. Money is reported easy
and exchange has fallen below the
shipping point, so that the heavy ex
portation of gold are not likely to
continue. Sectetary Foster said
this morning that S3,000,000 in gold
has been taken out OF the treasury
this week, and that about 81 100000
more would probably oe lost before
the week was ended. He is conf
dent, however, he said, that this gold
will soon be returned, with interest,
through the regular channels of trade.
He said that there is really nothing
alarming in the situation, and that
stocks, apparently unsettled now,
will readily adjust themselves.
Mr. Hepburn. comptroller of the
currency, also said this morning that
there was really no occasion for
alarm at the state of affairs in Wall
street, and he would be surprised if
the apparent stringenty was not
intended solely for its effect on Con-
gress. Mr.. Hepburn said that while
there may be some sentiment in the
situation, he was convinced that the
interests Of the country demanded
the repeal of the Sherman SILVER bill.
1t is learned at the Treasury De-
partment this afternoon that several
bankers have taken advantage of
Secretary Fosters plan of domestic
exchange, and have already added
$800,000 to the government god
balance in exchange for an equal
amount of currency, and further that
there is every indication will speed
lily recoup nearly the entire AMOUNT
of gold recently surrendered to
foreign dealers.

ment. The trembling fear evinced
by the Secretary and Comptroller of
a lot of gold gamblers is a disgrace
to the American people.
This game of battle door and shut
tie cock has been going on between
our treasury officials and the gam
blers fo- years, and with what result
the craven fear of these two men in
whose hands is placed the destiny of
the u S. Treasury, may be seen.
They are ready at any moment to
sell bonds to these gold sharks to
purchase gold to fill up the treasury
to be again drawn out by them, and
additional millions of debt saddled
on the people. The whole bogus
system is disgrace to an enlightened
civilization. Such men ought to be
hurled out of positions where they
can do so much harm.

Test of Membership.

President Loucks of the Farmers
Alliance in his address to the Supreme
Council recommends that the principles
of the order IS laid down by the
Supreme Council should be the test
required of eligibility to membership,
This we think would be a wise pro-
vision, much better than the present
test, which is, q member must be a
farmer, or closely allied with farming
interest, country doctor, school teacher
or preacher. If the test Of member
ship were the principles promulgated
by the National Alliance or Supreme
Council the membership could be
extended to town and city including
every class of people who believed that
such measures as promulgated by the
order should be vitalized by congress
sional law. No political jars would
then be possible. President Loucks in
his annual address, says, speaking on
this point:
1.-The non.partisan feature of our
order has given rise to much misunder,
standing of just what we mean, and a
clear definition of the term would be
advisable at this time, in connection
Herewith it would be we'll, and | would
recommend that you seriously consider
whether it would not be wise to make
the support of our demands a test Of
eligibility to membership in the order.
La that way We would avoid the anom-
ally of having members fighting our
demands. One member opposing our
demands can do more harm than ten
who are not members"
Of course no society wants member
who is opposed to its principles. Such
membership is weakness in place of a
help.

Much Cleaner.
Some one has estimated that at least
one-fourth of the world knows nothing
of the use of forks, and fully one-quar-
ter OF the men, women and children in
it eat with their fingers, says the Chi
cago Nail.
The Egyptians and Turks pride them
selves on their cleanliness in the use of
their fingers rather than forks, and give
a very ingenious excuse for the prac.
tice.
Forks, they say, have been in some
mans mouth, and you have to depend
on your servants for their cleaning.
These people wash their hands be.

Knowing what we know about the

making fair estimate based upon these

Gen. Weaver actually received two

Harrison did not receive. by one mil

Chew on these figures, Brethren, and

DISASTER ON THE L. AND N.


MOBILE, Ala, Sept. 2S.-A Gulfport,
Miss, special to the daily register says: The
worst wreck in the history of the Mobile and
New Orleans division &C. the Louisville and
Nashville railroad was that which occurred
this morning at / o'clock, Passenger train
No. went into an open switch The train
was running A miles an hour when the ac-
Cident occurred.
Investigation by the railroad officials after
the accident showed that the switch. which
had been properly set and locked, had been
opened. The lock was burned off and thrown
away. Three negro tramps riding on the
blind baggage between the tender and the
baggage car were killed. Another negro
tramp was fatally injured. The engineer
and fireman We're dangerously and two
postal clerks, the express messenger and
baggage master We're slightly injured.
Escape of the passengers from injury
seems almost miraculous. When the en-
CINE struck the switch frog it jumped So that
the tanges rode on top of the rail 30 or 40
yards, then left the track and plunged
through an empty box car ON the siding.
The baggage and express ear followed the
engine and collapsed alongside of it. The
mail car left the track to the left and was
shattered into splnters. The smoker and
passenger coaches were also wrecked.

He had some difficulty in expressing him

Mrs. Palmer thanked him and shook hands
with him. and the good old gentleman fairly
beamed ON her. kissing his own hands and
extending them to her with low bows. He was

Mr.. Mazoomdas then told lis that before
the Mohammedan conquest the women of
India were as free as the women of America
now are-and that in Bombay they are so
still. and that the custom of the seclusion of
women was the result of the presence of
Mahomctan men.
Mr.. Dvivikananda spoke next saying that
women had much liberty in many parts of
India, and he declared himself in favor of
their being as free as men. That he did not
believe woman was created to he the slave

witty answer for every emergency. The
orator went ON to say, that in the rebellion
of 1857. the beginning of il was led by n
woman, who faced the terrors of battle. and
rode to a charge as CALAMITY as any man,
and when defeated, fell on her own sword
rather than fall into the hands of the
English. That certain province in India
by accident came to have Il woman ruler.
She did so well. that having no sons, her
daughter was allowed to succeed her, and
she in turn ruled so wisely that the sue
cession was settled on the female line, and
continued to be so. and that it is considered
the best governed province in the country.
