WHAT IS A COUNT

There is another marriage failure A
handsome, rich and worthy young girl
Of Philadelphia, Miss Wheeler, has
separated from Count Pappenheim.
She married the count five years ago
with great and costly ceremony, all paid
for by her mother. It has cost many
thousands more to keep him, and yet a
small fortune will be necessary to get
rid Of him.
10 is said that the count and his
brother contracted enormous bills In
Philadelphia, at that time Of the mar
riage which the Wheeler estate as
aumed and paid. The count and
countess went TO Europe, where the
young wife soon found that she had
married a title, whose owner bad no
social reputation and no financial
credit. The family name was old
and distinguished, the family es
tates were large, beautiful aud
mortgaged for more than they were
worth. The present representative Of
the once great family is a spendthrift, q
gambler and a social pariah He could
not be controlled 1t is impossible to
reform him It was pretty mess. The
two American women struggled bravely
but the debts and the count were too
much for them.
One of the intimate friends of the
Wheelers says he dares not relate the
annoyances, expenses, the disgrace and
the shame Mrs. Wheeler, the mother in
law, who is an ambitious woman. and
the countess" her daughter who is a
sweet woman, endured. They could
not endure them any longer London
solicitors have been employed to settle
with Count Pappenheim-to buy him of.
Mrs. Wheeler and her daughter will
return to Philadelphia with the remains
of their fortune "to live It down
This intimate friend also admits, for
the benefit Of the public, that it was q

lieve Count Pappenheim was fortune
hunter or that 1.-THE countess" Miss
Wheeler) was a title hunter"
Doubtless not. IL was a love match
likely. It's progress and termination of
course indicate that The bridal bills
Of the count prove it,
Mrs. Wheeler, like many a rich Ameri-
can mother, was ambitious She got a
title, and she has paid for it.
Meantime il is evident that she would
have Jared better If she had marri ed
her daughter to some poor but honest
American lad. For, after all the men

Wheat and cotton are presented AS the
most striking examples Of the influence
of dear gold. Yet ia some of the years
in which silver has been steadily de-
clining the prices of wheat and cotton
have been high from causes relating
wholly and solely to the supply and
demand for these commodities. It
might as well be urged that wheat and
cotton Influence the price Of silver as
that the decline in the price of these
products has been caused by the fall Of
silver. In the years 1887 1889, 1881 and
1882, when wheat commanded high
prices, and when silver was falling, the
silver theory was utterly broken down
It was broken down again ia 1888, when
middling cotton sold in the worlds
markets for - cents a pound and when
silver was still declining In fact, the
current prices Of commodities for twenty
years and upward show that this silver
theory has not a leg to stand upon.
In the next place, Senator Gray
shows that the silver champions, in at
tempting 10 reconcile the decline in
prices with their theory of cheap money,
have ignored the great improvements in
the means Of production both in field

in the organization of skilled labor
These are the mighty agencies of mod
erL civilization which In multiplying
commodities and bringing widely sepa-
rated producers and consumers together
have caused a general leveling Of
prices to the great benefit of mankind
Instead of recognizing the manifest
causes Of this economic phenom enon,
the unreasoniug worshipers of cheap
silver imagine that they have dis
covered the cause In the fall of their
idol
Senator Gray takes away the last prop
OF the silver-mongering theory of dear
gold by presenting unimpeachable statis.
tical proofs showing, what every work
ingman knows by experience, the in
crease ia the purchasing power of wages
IL is seen by the table compiled by the
Hon j. H. Walker that the average
wages OF labor in this country from
1850 TO 1885 increased SO per cent in
grains of gold. The pretended appre
citation Of silver has Jagged far behind
the advance in the wages of labor AT

prices of the necessaries Of living has
