the ear and sent Smith to the floor in a
clean knock-down. Smith took time in
getting up and tried to get his right on

TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1893

fends who caused Saturday nights ex-
ploeion. Chief Crowley says he be-
lieves the Coast Seamsn's union is re-
sponeible for the deed, and that the
members OF the union knew
that the explosion was to occur.
The chief this morning ordered
the arrest of Secretary Fureseth of the
union and he was taken into custody.
Fureeeth denies all knowledge of the
crime and vigorous pumping by the
police failed to extract any information
from him. He WAS released after being
questioned by the police.
VICTIMS OF THE EXPLOSION.
John Curtin and Charles Bernard, two
Of the victims OF the Saturday night ex.
plosion, are still alive, though there ia
hardly chance for Bernardo recovery.
Both his eyes were blown out and the
drums OF his ears broken. Young Cur
tin is the only one OF the victims who is
able to tell anything of what occurred
previous to the explosion. He says he
saw an old black valiee in the doorway
and picked it up, then he remembered
bis fathers warning about picking up
strange packages, and suddenly dropped
it and ran across the street, exclaiming !:
''It's dynamite. The other men laughed
at tho idea and gathered curiously
around the valise. Suddenly there was
roar and Curtin remembered no more
till he found himself bleeding and
wounded in the street.
THREE eUsPEcTs ARRESTED.
Three men have been arrested for the
crime. They are John Tyrrell, James
Woods and Terrence Tracy. Tyrrell and
Woods are the men who threatened
Mrs. Curtin few days ago. They were
formerly members Of the Coast Sea-
mans union, but were dropped come
time ago for non-payment of dues.
Tracy is deep sea sailor and has never
belonged to the union.

SILVER TALK.

Colonel Thatcher of Aspen, who
was recently in Washington, s.ys he
had talk with the President and
Secretary of the Treasury; thinks
there is no disposition 20 absolutely
repeal the Sherman law: that there
is uD der consideration FREQ coinage
bill with increased ratio, and re-
tirement of all paper under So; sec
ond, free coinage of 4, 900, 600 ounces
monthly; third, the re-enactment of
the Bland law, making the monthly
coinage of 81, 600, 600 compulsory,
Senator Cullom is afraid that this
country is going to abandon gold and
remonetize silver, and paints lurid
picture of what would follow. From
five TO ten million dollars worth of
gold bonds would be cut in two
those poor bondholders- pensions
and all other obligations would suffer
accordingly. Evidently, the Senator
never thought of the fact that if the
United States should repudiate gold
and make silver its basis, silver would
be worth as much as gold; that all
silver needs is recognition.
There is certainly charge in the
tone of many Eastern papers touch
ing legislation on silver. The
thought is creeping into the minds
of good many people that possibly
the repeal of the Sherman law will
not bring around perfect peace, pros
perity and blissful return of that
golden age which existed before
there had been any discoveries of sill
yer mines in this country, and the
wages of laborers were little more
than the Mexican rate of to-day is.
Il is working around all right. There
is a good deal to found a hope on,
dark as the skies now are.
A short statement ought to settle
the silver question. First-Prices
are regulated by the volume of
money. To reduce prices 30 per
cent and to add 90 per cent to all
debts, it is necessary only to reduce
the volume of money one-half. The
volume of money was reduced one
half when silver was demonetized:
prices have fallen accordingly, debts
have increased accordingly, and so
has the difficulty of paying debts. If
the creditor class had premeditated
the wholesale robbery of the debtor
class, what more effectual device than
could have been
planned!
Evidentially the President was a
little premature when he called Cons
gress in special session for the pur>
pose of repeating the purchasing
clause in the Sherman law. He did |
not know that the result could be |
much more speedily reached by leav-
ng the business to the Secretary of |
he Treasury and the Director of the
Mint. 1t is poor old Administra-
ion that cannot, at pleasure, nullify

men like Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..

other great man-Mr. Preston of the

Light and Dark Co1ored Cigars.

Many cigar makers think that the time
is approaching when y will be necessary to
charge more for light than for dark colored
cigars. The queer thing. about it is that it
is all a whim, caused chiefly by Ignorance.
People imagine that a light colored cigar is
milder than a black one, when the reverse
is likely to be the case. The character of
the cigar Is determ med far more by the
filler than by the wrapper, and a light
colored cigar may have a filling that would
turn the stomach Of a d%romedary.
THERE'S just a shade of difference between
a dark and a light wrapper, but there are
few experts who can tell the difference
blindfolded. So serious a matter has be-
come this fad for light hued cigars that
sellers have to resort to artiflce to keep their
stock well balanced. Most people have no
real preference, and if u merchant throws
out a medium color will take it without
thinking about it, while If the dealer asks
him what color he wants he will of course
choose a light one.
BY observing this little popularity of hui
man nature cigar dealers are able to get
rid of a good share of their dark cigars, but
If the present mania continues our local
manufacturers, who use the darker colored
Havana seed, will find it necessary to raise
the price on the light colored cigars

The Origin Of Earrings.

1t is a strange tradition among the Ara
bans that earrings came into use in the fol-
lowing way: When Pharoah summoned
Abraham and rcproachcd him for his I'M
truth lin saying that Sarah was his sister,,
Abraham prayed for the king, aud Allah
healed the king, who now gave Abraham
many rich presents, and among others an
Egyptian slave named Hagar., She bore
him a son, whom he called Ishmael. But
Sarah was barren, and the more jealous
since the light of Mohammed shone on Ish-
mael's forehead she demanded of Abraham
to put away Hagar and her son. He was
undecided until commanded by Allah to
obey Sarah i'll all things. Yet he entreated
her not to cast off her bondmaid and her
son. But this SO exasperated her that she
declared she would not rest until her hands
had been imbrued in Hagar's blood. Then
Abraham pierced Hagar's ear quickly and
drew a ring through it, SO hat Sarah was
able to dip her hand in the blood of Hagar
without bringing the latter into danger.
From that time it became a custom among
women to wear earrings.
