The following incident was related to

summer of 1877 MIR. Booth WAS

for tram. He noticed gentleman
standing near him. apparently with the

crossed in his own meditation. Presently
the gentleman stepped from the platform TO
o track and began walking upon it. entire

this moment an engine which had been
getting water from q tank near at hand
began backing mp the track. Mr..
Booth, turning round. saw it only
when il was within few feet
of his absent minded companions. On the
Impulse OF the moment, without at.
tempting To arouse the man TO sense of
his dan uger-there was not time for this
MIR. Booth stepped forward and. clutchIng
him by the arm. lifted him almost bodily
upon the platform. So near the en-

left the track.
The rescued gentleman was so overcome
when he realized HE danger that be could

his preseryer. Ii happened that Mr.. Ford,

THE action of the government in
landing marines and sailors from the
warship Atlanta at Santa Fe. Nicaragua,
seems to have caused good deal of ex-
citement in that country. 1t was con-
strued by the people as forcible occu-
patton of the country. and this view was
strengthened by the fact that the troops
established camp. placed artillery in
position and made other arrangements
as if for the purpose of withstanding q
siege or establishing a base of opera
tions. A special telegram from Mana
qua says:
Crowds from this city went 70 Santa Fe

are called. and it Is feared, unless some pre-
cautions are taken. OF satisfactory
plsnation is given. serious trouble NAV re-
suit. The rabble. which composes the
greater part of the crowd. is fearfully en-
ragged and considers the act as a hostile in
vasion. lncited by the conservatives
principally by the clergy, these people say
the new government has sold the country
20 the Americans. that this is only the first
step toward taking possession. and that u
number of other American warships with
reinforcements aboard are on the way.
OF course tho troops were landed for
the sole purpose of protecting the canal
property, but it seems to have been done
very abruptly and in a way calculated to
excite and alarm the Nicaraguans. From
this distance it looks as if the time 10

revolution was in progress and the prop
erty was threatened. and not after the

TWO OF MANY PALLACIES.

A copy of paper containing the ad-
dress to the people of the United States
by the Transmississippi Congress. writ
ten by Mr.. j. S. Dougherty, of Texas,
has been received, SO marked as to call
special attention to the four columns
devoted to the subject. Doubtless it
will be circulated for the purpose of at
tempting to stem the growing oppOsi-
tiOn to the free coinage of silver under
the existing ratio. 1t is illogical from
beginning to end, and full of misstate-
ments like the following:
But if free coinage 10 such good thing
for the United States why did we from 1893
to 1873 coin SO little silver when we had
free coinagel ls 1t a fact that we did coin
lttlef Let US see. From 1Ie2 to 1878 in
elusive. we produced in the United States
but Sle9. 0l0 worth of silver, and of that
We coined Sl57, ,4o9 $3.50.
True. the coinage of silver during the
period named was S157. ASS, ,S9S.3O; but
how much of it came under the free
coinage system? just S.O45, ,467 in stand
ard silver dollars, and no more. The
rest was in fractional silver coins. In
1853, because the silver in the fraction
al silver coins was worth more as bull
reduced and the government purchased
the bullion for such coins, as it now
does, and they became q limited legal
tender, as they now are. The reason
that no more legal-tender silver dollars
were coined from 1893 to 1878 was be-
cause our ratio from 1894 onward was
about 16 to 1, while that of Europe was
1910 to /, which made the bullion In q
standard dollar worth more than 100
cents in gold. Consequently American
silver went to Europe. Therefore the
statement is deceptive. Before the
coinage act of 1878 silver was not an i'm
portant element in our money, because
1925 grains of silver were worth more in
the market of the world than 25.S grains
of gold. One other misleading state
ment is as follows:
Turn TO the Financial Chronicle of Sept.
8. 1881. and you will find that the average
cost of wheat In Great Britain for 1887.
1883 and 1889 was SOS 10d per quarter, while
in 1880 1t was 35s Sd. or about 12 cents per
bushel higher than the previous years. and
OCCUR until 1891.
Here, again. the writer's figures are
deceptive. The average price of wheat,
month by month, in Chicago. during
1887, was 10 cents; in 1888. 85.4 cents; in
1889, S9.6 cents; in 1890. S9.7 cents. For
1887 the average price of silver bullion
per OF nee was 97S cents; 1888. 94
cents; 1889, 1876 cents; 1899. 101.6
cents. The object of the writer is to
show that the price of wheat goes up
and down with the price of silver bull
lion. During the first three years
above quoted, silver bullion fell 40
cents an ounce, while the average price
of wheat rose 1876 cents. The passage
of the Sherman law gave silver bullion
n sharp rise during few months and
then swift decline followed. The
foregoing comparisons show the futility
of the attempt to make it appear that
the market prices of silver bullion and
wheat rise and fall together.
These are samples of the fallacies of
which the address of the silver congress
is made up. but which cannot be de-

offers of silver Reiected.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Acting Director
Preston. of the mint bureau, Treasury De-
partment. to-day rejected all but one offer
of silver. A dozen offers ranging from
$3.50 to S3.7S cents per ounce were made.
He accepted the offer at $3.50 cents. and
made a counter offer to all the others at
SS 40 cents. His action was very unusual
but his course In rejecting the offers at the
higher figures was approved by Secretary
Carlisle. Mr.. Preston states that the fig
ures were very much higher In proportion
than the price of silver to-day in London
which price guides the Treasury Depart
ment in its purchases. The total purchas
amounted to 66S. 900 ounces at $3.50 and S3. 40
cents.

LAW is not an exact science. Judges
disagree as we'll as doctors. There have
been five expOsitions of the law in re-
gard to Sunday opening of the worlds
fair. no two of them alike, and the end
is not yet. First, there was the Attor-
ney- generals opinion constituting the
act of 1893 and its bearing on the act of
1892; then there was the opinion of Judge
Stein, of the State Court, in Chicago;
then the diverse opinions of Judges
Woods, Grosscup and jenkins, and now
we are to have the final and controlling
opinion of the Appellate Court, Chief
Justice Fuller presiding. Laymen some-
times say lawyer will give IN opinion
on any side of any question for pay. 1t
looks as if the opinions of learned
Judges in expounding the law were apt
10 be colored by their personal views.

sued by the National Insurance company
of Montpelier, which may be found on
another page Of this paper. Note the
large cash value, paid-up value and con
tinued insurance which the company
guarantees.
II makes the best kind of collateral Sc
curity for a loan, which viii be accepted
as such by any bank in the country. For
example, man was insured by a $4,000
policy in this company and received loan
OF 5000 from bank, on his policy. Now
see. the policy holuer was insured for
$4,000, ana at the same time he was using
mis- money. (This simple statement of val
ues guaranteed is the valuable feature of a
policy in the National Life Insurance Co.
OF Vermont for all OF its policy holders).
The fact was that the man died and the
company paid the bank the 5000 and the
family the balance, 1900. This is the
great feature of these policies.
During the panic, the company has not
suffered the depreciation of one cent of
their investments. This is not true of
companies who have large investments in
