Governor Stone and the Republic.

10 the Editor OF the Ledger.
MExICo, Mo-, August 3.-The
Republic in its issue of July 31st
criticises Governor Stones position
on the coinage question land thus in
terrogates the Governor. "Does he
admit or not that if the purchase of
bullion were stopped, the redemp-
ton of treasury notes in silver-in
other words, the execution of the
Sherman act he desires-might APP
pear to the Secretary of the Treas
ury a perfectly safe use of his dis
cretion." We submit that the
answer of the Governor to this ques-
ton might be either, yes,or no, and
it could not in the slightest degree
shake the unanswerable plea of
Governor Stone for honest money.
Every enemy of silver wants its
colnage-more properly speaking
its destruction, left to the discretion
of the Secretary; hal is as long as
he exercises that '~tdiscretion" for
its destruction-and no longer; and
everybody knows that the coinage
of silver is in the hands of its enc
mics, and every patriotic citizen who
wishes to stop the destruction of
credit, labor, commerce and general
prosperity, is with Gov. Stone, and
hoping that enough patriotism and
justice may develop itself at the
special session of Congress, to re-
store the coinage to its status under
the Bland law, with the addition
that it be coined unlimited, be made
a legal tender for all debts and with
the further elimination that all eds
cretion" be taken from the Secretary
of the Treasury; that ''discretion''
has always been the tooth of Sher-
manism; pull that fang and the
snake in Wall Street will die. All
honor to Governor Stone and the
patriotic representatives bent on re-
storing the coinage.

DESPERADOES THWARTED.
DastardIy Plans to Wreck and Rob a
Wabash Train Discovered by
Accident.

MACON, Mo-, Aug. "A desper-
ate attempt to wreck and rob the
southbound Wabash passenger train
one mile north of Atlanta, this, Ma
con county, this morning at l
o'clock, was planned by two I'M
known d~esperadoes, but fortunately
was frustrated. The train was due
at Atlanta at about 1 o'clock from
Des Moines. 1t had several coaches
and two sleepers and it is understood
the express car vaults contained
considerable money.
II. Johns, aged IS years, son OF
the station agent at Atlanta, had
been up the railroad visiting some
where, and on his return home about
II 80 O'Clock overheard two men
who were concealed near the railroad
behind a pile of cross ties talking
about wrecking and robbing the
train. He went to Atlanta and Sc
curing a lantern went up the wagon
road to meet the train before ii
reached the point where the men
were.
The train stopped when Johns
tagged it and Trainmaster J. A.
Rather, Conductor Richard hurry
and the other parties connected with
the train started down the track.
They found that on a curve and on
a twenty foot high grade just at the
north end of a bridge a whole steel
rail had been taken out. The Sec
ton hands tools had been stolen
and used in extracting the spikes
and were still left there. The train
was delayed thirty minutes while
the rail was being replaced.
1t is not known who the despera-
does are, but it is not believed that
they were green hands. The train
was not scheduled to stop at Atlanta
and was running at the rate of
about forty miles an hour when
tagged.
Sheriff White of Macon is at Tren-
ton to witness the hanging of Jos.
A. Howell there to-day, and, so far
as can be learned, no effort has
been made to capture the despera-
does.

WELL CONDUCTED.
A Union Managed by Women Which Is 8
Model of Its Kind

A Union Managed by Women Which Is
Model of Its Kind.
Unions of all sorts have great hold
upon the German people. Bakers, car
penters, tailors have their uereinS, ex-
listing for both social and business ends.
Such unions among women are, Of
course, more rare, since the majority
are still exceedingly domestic and in.
terested in but few things outside
their home. We do find, however,
various housekeepers' clubs in existence.
The Vienna Housekeepers' Union is
model of its kind. From the time l be.
came a member of this admirable insti-
tuition, said lady who spent some time
in Germany, / bought from the CO.
operative store of the club nearly all
food and house-furnishing goods, used
its list of reliable firms in all its branches
of business, and its recommendations
for seamstresses and other hand work
ers. There were no proftless mornings
spent in shopping. Ny written orders
came filled with the utmost care and
were delivered by an intelligent man
who could answer questions about
goods not on the price list. During the
year of my membership l made care
full study of the workings of this club,
visited its cooking and training schools
for domestics, and attended its annual
meeting to hear the reports and adj
dresses of its officers, and 1 came to be-
lieve that its success was owing to the
enthusiasm and fine executive ability of
few women who had founded it and
who had ever since faithfully served it,
In 1889 it had been in existence for fiji
teen years, and had membership of 2600
women, representing as many families.
Its intention was to forward the prac-
tical interests of the household" but
from this wide field it had selected two
points of attack. 1t aimed to reduce
the cost of living by furnishing goods
of the best quality and at reasonable
prices, and to provide good house ser
vice by means of training school and
free intelligence office. Consultation
as to housekeeping methods formed no
part of its work. The German house
wife needs no instruction here. She
keeps house very much as her mother
did, and those methods she learned be-
fore she was married. Centuries Of
training have had effect even upon the
palate in Germans, and certain tastes
60 with certain means. This makes
such degree of public cooking prac-
ticable as relieves the household from
all baking and from the preparation Of
all food that can be cold, or indeed hot
within certain limits. 1t greatly re-
duces the labor done in the house and
renders not too exacting routine
possible. In these older countries the
art of living when considered with re-
gard to the means at disposal is far
more perfect thing than with us. Ac-
customed to the judicious use of cer-
tain income in her mothers house, the
young wife, once granted the money
necessary for certain style of living,
only needs little executive ability, and
this quality is always at hand, plainly
inherited along with her old mahogany
and linen, to direct her competent SER
wants and to achieve such results in her
housekeeping as will be highly satisfac-
tory to her family and friends.

An Effective Rebuke.

A short time since a party of mon
were passing an evening in an Indiana
hotel playing game of "clinch. "
Seated near by was an on locker, cal
low youth, evidently making his first
trip, who at every fine play that was
made or good hand that was held
would emit series of oaths as sulphur
Gus as Sam Jones' sermons. One of
the party, portly, dignified man, was
manifestly annoyed by the young man,
and finally asked him to desist from
such profane comments, remarking
that it was useless and foolish habit.
The youth replied that it was habit
that cost no money, and he had lots of
company. For few seconds he re.
NAMED quiet, but at last broke out
again, worse than ever, as an unusually
good hand was beaten. Rising from
his chair, the dignified gentleman said:
Young man, asked you as q gentle.
man to desist from your profanity. By
your continuance of it 1 consider it a
direct insult to me. wish to inform
you that the name you take in vain so
glibly is that of a dear friend of mine,
and an especially dear one of my
mother as we'll. If another oath passes
your lips while here, I shall be
tempted to forget myself and teach
you by bodily force lesson you have
evidently failed to learn-reverence Of
your Maker"
At these words the youth soon left
the room.

In 1172 the temperature was so high
that leaves came out on the trees il
January, and birds Matched their broods
in February.
In 1889 the winter was also very mild,
and maidens of Cologne wore wreaths
of violets and oornfowers at Christmas
and Twelfth Day.
In 1421 the trees lowered in the
month of March, and the vines in the
month of April. Cherries ripened in
the same month and grapes appeared
in May.
In 1872 the trees were covered with
leaves in January, and birds Matched
their young in February. as in 1172
and in 1885 the same thing was re.
peated, and it is added that the corn
was in the ear at Easter.
There was in France neither snow
nor frost throughout the winters Of
1888, 1907, 1909, 1917, and 1859
finally, in 1862, even in the north of
Germany, the streets were not lighted,
and trees lowered in February.
Coming to later dates the winter of
1846-7, when 1t Numbered at Paris on
the 28th Of January, and that of 1860,
the year Of the great inundation Of the
Seine, were very mild.

An officer in the navy says that the
old severity and brutality conduct to-
ward the sailors is rapidly disappear
ing, and that, while discipline is strict
ly maintained, the officers try to make
the men conform to it cheerfully. 1t is
beginning to be realized that ships
company is big family, each member
of which owes something to the others,
and that work willingly done is better
done than when the workman is kicked
into doing it. Many of the officers do
a good deal for the men in the way of
getting up amateur theatricals and
other amusements, and sailors who
keep sober and show industry get shore
leave and other privileges. The use
of grog is disappearing, and the cook
ing shows improvement, the officer of

The Maidstone.

Here's something that will interest
you," said physician, as he placed a
lump of slaty. looking stone in the
hands of a scribe. "a patient of mine
gave me that this morning with as
grand an air as if she were giving me e
silver dinner service. No doubt she
though it had as great value. It's q
maidstone. You've read accounts of
them. Put them on a dog bite and
they will snck it and give off green
forth, and all that sort of rubbish.
There's no such thing as maidstone in
the world. Touch the stone to your
tongue. Notice anything? Sticks,
doesn't it? That is because it is anhy-
drous. 1t has gone through slight
chemical change, and has lost part of
the water that was in its original COM
position, 80 that it readily absorbs
moisture. 1t will stick to a cut or a
bite or anything else that is wet, and
that is all there is to it. But it's q
harmless sort of superstition, and if it
makes any poor devil comfortable, for
goodness sake let him believe it.
