HOW EHLERs AMUSED HER.
Took His Wife to See the Graves
of Her Predecessors.
Now She Is Suing for a Separs-
fion.

Mrs. Marie 7. Ehlers. wife OF John
Ehlers n well-known Broadway saloon
keeper, OF Williamsburg, through her
counsel, NJ. l.. Towns, asked Justice
Pratt for $3.50 counsel fees and $S5 a
week alimony, pending her suit for
separation from her husband on the
ground of cruelty and inhuman treat
ment.
Mrs. Ehlers. in her complaint. al
leges that she married Ehlers about
eighteen months ago. She was a dress
maker and made S12 a week. She al
leges that her husband has an income of
about $4,000 a year.
She says her health has been wrecked
by Ehler's treatment, and asks the
Court for enough alimony to equal her
income before she was married.
Mr.. Towns. for Mrs. Ehlers, told Judge
Pratt that Ehlers was modern Blue
beard" He said he had already buried
two or three wives; that the only time
he ever took his wife out driving was to
take her to the cemetery, where he
would point out the graves of his former
wives and picture to the present Mrs.
Ehlers how pleasant 1t would be for her
to sleep with those gone before.
Mr.. Towns said that the real cruelty
charged was of such a revolving nature
that he could express the character OF
1t only in private.
Judge Pratt did not think that Mrs
Ehers needed so much counsel fees, but
took the papers and reserved decision.

India Absorbed Vast Quantities
OF the White Metal.
New YORK, June 27.--Edward o
Leech, who was director of the United
States mint when the Brussels confer
ence was held, attended the meetings of
that body in an advisory capacity. In
an interview MIR. Leech said:
"SilYer, as is we'll known, is the only
legal tender money in British India. 1t
is estimated that there is in circulation
about S1,000.000,000 ill India. IL forms
the entire circulation medium of the
country, for while there is some rupee
paper in circulation i'll Bombay, Madras
and few larger cities, there are
no banks; no substitutes for money like
checks. etc, throughout the country,
and everything in the shape of money
consists of silver rupees and fractions
of rupee. Gold is not legal tender in
India, although the gold mohur and di-
visions are coined. The ratio in In
dian coinage between gold and silver is
fifteen to one, so that an ounce OF silver
in such coinage is valued at about
S1.36. India has always been the
silver sink of the world, the natural
receptacle of all silver surplus for
which there is no actual demand. India
absOrdS in coinage more silver than any
other country in the world, about $40
O00,0O0 annually. This fact will give
some idea of the tremendous effect the
closing of the India minis to silver coin
age will have upon the price of the
white metal. 1t is warning to the
United States that we cannot safely go
farther in the absorption of depreci-
ated metal in this country without seri-
ously embarrassing our financial sys-

DENVER, Col, June 27.-The Denver
smelters feel very severely the drop in
silver. There are no means of knowing
where it will end, and Tor the present
they are III an embarrassing state of UNI
certainty as to what their losses will be.
The local smelters have on hand an
average of about 100000 ounces each,
enough to last for several months with
out making any new contracts, but the
trouble is. there is now absolutely no
market for silver, and if the smelt-
ers cannot dispose of the product OF
their works it will be an impossibiIity to
continue running them. 1t is estimated
that the smelterS here and throughout
the state have lost in the aggregate
S650,000 on ore bought last week, and
which has fallen so greatly in value in
the past two days. EX-Gov. James B.
Grant, vice president of the Omaha q
Grant Smelling company, says that his
company will make no more contracts
for ore until the silver market is more
settled. President w. l.. Smith, of the
public sanlpling WORKS, also declares
that his company will make no more
contracts at present. Continuing, Mr..
Smith said:
The smelters of Denver are not
likely to close down for a couple of
months on account of the large amount
OF ore already on hand. but no more
contracts will be made. and the few that
have been may be repealed. They
have all been made in such a way that
they may be Cancelled. because of
the uncertainty heretofore existing in
the silver situation. Possibly by the
time the present stock of ore is used up
a settlement of the difficulty will be
reached SO that work may be contin-
ued."
SmeIters at Pueblo. Leadyille, Aspen
and other points, it is understood, too,
will follow the action of the Denver
smelters. LII case they should close
down many thousands of men will be
thrown out of employment, but there is
an impression prevalent that before this
action becomes necessary favorable
turn will occur in the silver market.

meeting OF laymen, representing the
churches in Grand Forks, Larimore,
Park River. Pembina. st. Thomas,
Bowesmont, Drayton, Forest River,

charges of the district, to consider the
bishops action. The meeting was
most enthusiastic one and the feeling
was most intense.
The session lasted from s o'clock last
evening until 3 O'Clock this morning.
The sentiment was unanimous in de-
nouncing Bishop Fowler but the dele
gates differed as to the methods Of deal
ing with the matter. Resolutions,
insurrection and other vigorous meas
ures were proposed and rep reSentatlveS
OF several charges affirmed that their
entire churches would withdraw FROM
the denomination if the injustice was

Whereas, Bishop C. H. Fowler has not &C

UNCLE SANS COURSE,
He Must Stop the Purchase of
Bullion at Once.


New YORK. June 27.-Henry w. Can
non, president of the Chase National
bank, and also one of the delegates to
the. monetary conference at Brussels.
said regarding the Indian silver sensa-
ton:
1.-THE Importance of the action of the
government of India in stopping the
coinage of silver cannot be overesti-
mated at this time. 1t was the only
country, with the exception of Mexico,
in the world the minis of which were
open to the coinage of silver with
out limitation. Therefore at the
present time the only countries
in the world which are continuing
to produce silver legal tender
money are the United States and Mex
leo, and it must be clear, even to
casual observer. that 1t is impossible for
the United States to safely continue the
coinage of silver or the issuance of
money against bullion purchases. In
all Europe silver is diShonored and gold
Is fast becoming the only money of full
debt-paying power. The course of the
United States is clear. We must inn
mediately stop the further purchase of
silver and the issuance of silver legal
tender money. IL this course is pursued
there is very little doubt that the other
nations will be brought to a realizing
sense OF the condition of monetary
affairs, and the place of silver as a
money metal throughout the world will
be settled within reasonable time.
Our government is pledged to maintain
all of our money on gold basis, and
some action should be taken at once to
remove the prevailing feeling of distrust
and discomfort

WILL BRING NO RELIEF.
Such Is the Opinion OF President
Andrews.

PROVIDENCE. X. J.. June 27.-Presi-
dent Andrews, of Brown university,
and who was one of the American dele
gates to the Brussels conference, in an
interview in regard to the action of the
Indian government stopping the free
coinage of silver, said:
cit is impossible that this scheme
should bring any relief to the silver
situation in England. 1t will make the
condition of foreign exchange little
more stable as between the traders of
England and the big merchants and ex-
changes of Bombay and Calcutta. That
is to say, it will arrest the fall in the in-
trinSic value of coin silver in India,
and give stability between the pres
ent money of India, which is silver,
and the gold money of England. But i'll
doing so. it will cause a break between
the value of Indian silver as money and
its value as bullion, just such as exists
between the silver money of the United
States and France and the corresponds
ing bullion. AS for America. believe
this action will be fortunate. Silver
will drop in gold prices. and it may be
necessary to repeal the Sherman law. 1t
will then drop still more. and Great
Britain will then be forced to take con-
certed action with other nations"

A YOUNG HOMICIDE.
Freddie Pfffne r
Shoots Little Harry
Keiser.
The Shot, Fired in a Fit Of Anger,
May Prove Fa-
tai.

Shortly before O'Clock last eve ming
Freddie Pfiffner in a fit of anger shot
Harry Keiser, playmate, inflicting
fatal wound. Freddie is ten years old,
and lives with his parents at 703
East Seventh street. Yesterday
afternoon Harry Keiser, aged six
years and his brother Herbert,
three years Younger, visited the Pfffner
house to spend the afternoon with
Freddie. There was no one at home
but Freddie, and the time was put in
by the three lads in the usual pastimeS
Young Pfffner has number of
pigeons, and while he was showing
his visitors the fowls dispute
arose. Pftfner went into the hou Sc
and, returning with 22-caliber rifle, an
nounced that he was going to shoot.
The eldest Keiser boy thought mis- play
mate was only joking, and paid
no attention to the threat. Pfitfner
took Jain at Harry Kelser and pulled
the trigger There was sharp
crack. and an instant later the Keiser
boy fell to the ground with bullet in
his breast. NeighborS hearing the shot
ran to the scene, and while one went
for policeman another ran for doc
tor. DR.. Amoss responded, and the
wounded lad was taken to the
home of his father, Edward Kei-
ser, at 667 North street. Pfffner
was handed over to an officer and locked
up at the Margaret street station. The
story of the shooting as given was
learned from the seven-year-old Keiser
boy, as Pfffner refused to talk
even to his parents. who visited
the station last night. The doctor
probed for the bullet last night but
could not locate it. The bullet struck
the boy in the right breast two inches
below the collar bone, and it is supposed
to have passed through the right lung.
The chances for Keiser's recovery are
doubtful.

CHICAGO VIEWS.
Opinions Expressed by Bankers
and Wheat ExporterS.

and Wheat Exporters.
CHICAGO, June 27.-The silver ques-
ton. brought to such a commanding
place in finance by the action of India
in stopping the free coinage of silver,
continues to agitate the business men in
Chicago. Clinton B. Evans, editor of
the Economist, today said:
I'm regard to the action taken by the
Indian government, it is the most i'm
portant financial event Ut recent years.
1t forces the issue at once, and will
compel immediate action by congress
as an imperative measure of self-de-
Tense. 1t will enable the friends of
sound currency to jump to conclusion
in legislation which otherwise they
might be long time reaching"
j. d. Mitchell, president of the
Illinois Trust and Savings bank, saw no
occasion for alarm. He thought that
the position taken by India would force
this government TO retire from its false
position as a compulsory purchaser of
silver. Asked about the probable eff
feet on wheat, William Dunn, for
many years one of the larg-
est exporters of wheat OH the
board of trade, said he thought
it would tend to curtall shipments from
India. N. b. Ream did not think the
silver question would be as important
factor in the wheat market as may be
imagined. William Baker said that
wheat had cut away from silver entirely
In India, which was one of the reasons
