Novelties In Candles.

On the stairway landings OF almost
every Partisan chateau there are small
tables designed to hold candles. When
the guests are saying good night this
table presents . pretty picture. The
candles are Of varied colors, the candle
sticks Of odd designs, and the lights
are pleasantly softened by colored
shades. A green candle in q silver
candlestick, with perfectly formed
pond lily for the shade, Is but one OF
many novelties.

A review of the data obtained from all
the cities show that the average per-

is greater in the south Atlantic group

in the majority Of New England cities
the present limits are the same as the
old town boundaries, and municipal
improvements are confined to the
wards where the most people live. The
area occupied by some of the American
cities greatly exceeds that taken up by
the principal cities of the old world.

THE MCDONALD WILL CASE.
An Appeal is Filed In the Suprema
Court.

The appeal in the Mcdonald will case
has been filed with the clerk of the SUI
preme court. The case was originally
brought in the Hamilton circuit court on
change of venue from " vion county.
1t was TO test the will OF the late JOS
eph E. Mcdonald and was brought by
Malcolm Mcdonald, son Of Joseph E.
Mcdonald. and Joseph E. and Jessie
Mcdonald, grandchildren.
There were two grounds on which IL
was prayed that the will be set aside.
namely, that undue influence had been
exercised to secure the execution of the
will. and that it was a forgery The
trial lasted for twenty-five days and
was one of the most memorable in the
history of litigation in the state. The
attorneys for Mrs. Mcdonald are Ad-
Olson c. Harris, w. P. Fishback and
w. P. Kappes Of this city and George
Shirts of Noblesville. The transcript
Of the proceedings in the case fills 1858
typewriter pages and forms one Of the
largest documents ever filed in the SUI
preme court. Thirteen errors are as
signed on which the appeal is based.
They are as follows:

The Kansas populists are engineering
a great scheme for the relief of farmers
in the drought-ridden western counties.
Under the direction OF the executive
council wheat will be collected in other
counties and sent to the western coun-
ties for seed. The exchange is to be
made through the county clerks, who
will take notes from the sufferers for
the wheat taken by them. These notes

effrontery of fastening this spectacular
style of bimetallism on the lamented
Washington and Jefferson, who took
part in adopting coinage that under
valued gold and practically made silver
the standard. Indeed the unit OF 1892
was made "of the value of a Spanish
milled dollar, as the same is now cur
rent. and to contain 81 grains and four
sixteenths parts Of a grain pure. or 416
grains of standard silver" But after
perpetrating this outrage on Washing
ton and Jefferson, by declaring that they
established a gold standard, he pro-
ceeded TO contradict himself by assert
ing that the gold standard was estab-
lished in 1884. when this law of 1892 was
repealed. He asserts that within
twenty years silver has been discarded
as measure of value in every country
of Importance but Mexico. 1t is not a
measure of value in the United States,
and has not been since 1894 This is
material improvement on John Sherman,
who has been declaring that silver was
demonetized in 1853. Mr.. Hoar like
great many other estimable gentlemen,
has been misled by the fact that this
country coined comparatively few silver
dollars. They have neglected to note the
additional fact that our laws made the
Spanish milled dollar a legal tender in
the United States, and that it was the
common measure Of value for many
years. In fact it was almost the only
measure of value in the West, as may be
seen from the following explicit state
ment of Hugh McCulloch in his account
of the State bank of Indiana:
Although the double standard existed
in the United States, the metallic cur
rency of the country chiefly, and
throughout the West exclusively, from
the time the bank organized, in 1884, to
the discovery of gold in California in
1S4S. was silver. The capital Of the bank
was paid up in Spanish and Mexican dol
lars. and its reserve continued to be In

premium of about per cent. on Mex
lean dollars and per cent on Spanish

before handled or saw a dollar in gold,
except the ten-thaler pieces which Were
brought into this country by German
immigrants.
And yet this wise man from New Eng
land, this fossil relic of the republican
age. talks about silver not having been
a measure of value in this country since
1884. Is this unadulterated ignorance or
is 1T a new scheme for evading response
bility for the crime of 1873?
