The whole country is stirred up on the
money question, and people in all walks
OF life are seeking light. In the general
scramble for financial wisdom q remarka-
bile discovery has been made-yiz., that
those who are supposed 10 know most
about It actually know the least. Sena Tor
Butler did not miss IL much when he said
the other day that the last person IN
the world to go TO for information ON the
science OF finance was banker Of New
York or Boston. Many generally we'll
informed business men confess their igno-
rance on the subject and with all due
respect 20 the Times, we must say il has
not done much 10 enlighten them.
We often wonder whether the Times
ever studied political economy. or whether
IL is going II blind" IL makes such
extraordinary and contradictory state
ments that IL is impossible 10 suppose
that it has adopted any set OF first prin-
ciplcs FOR is guidance, and IL is almost
as difficult 10 discuss economic questions
with IL as IL is 10 argue with woman
or child. For instance. one day we are
told that gold is leaving the country be-
cause foreign investors are scared By the
silver agitation; another day, gold is leav-
Ing because the balance OF trade Is against
us One time, free coinage OF silver will
drive out all the gold. and money will
De scarcer than ever; another TINA silver

PLAYED olomon.

Two COWS recently went astray at New
port News, Va. one belonged 10 negro
and the other 10 a white man named
Shields. A COW answering the descrp-
ton Of either Of the two animals was
purchased by a farmer not long since.
The bereaved men heard of the purchase
and each claimed tie animal and pre-
scented proof equally convincing. The
case came up before a Judge and the
jury heard the evidence, but as the wit
nesses for each party described the same
COW, they were unable 20 give a deci-
sion. Then the Judge said ne would
turn the COW out on the green. III size
went towards the nesros farm she
should be his II she went towards
Shields farm she should be his. The
COW was turned out bat she found the
grass so satisfying that she went neither
way.

One of the names given to the chaplain
OF the Forty-ninth Tennessee was more
expressive than respectful. lie was known
throughout the bridage by every man IN

quite strong In his limbs, he often car
ried some of the luggage OF men VINO

loaded with a queer medley OF fryihs

name for skillet was Spider ana tne
wagon carrying their cooking utensiis

Carolina regiment was camped near US

We have hardly had time to draw our
A~eath, after the fright which the impend-
ing hoop skirt gave us wben we are
threatened by another calamity-the pam
Ter. Not seriously, let us hope, put tne
slightest hint of such a thing MIS- US Win
foreboding We fondly hoped that the
davs were past which made 1t possible Tor
Young brothers to play such FRANKS as
lsyinc hymn books on these artlhcial
bImps in which their sisters went to
church. &c.,,
I,etus hope also that the day Of draped
and looped skirts shall not dawn again
when bustles become a necessity. How
ever. the logic of fashion. POUNDS. HOW
nv pen leaped from the paper at the very
suggestion that logic had anything 70 DO
with fashion But as l was going TO say

not thus harrow your wounded Feelings
without good grounds. Look for your
self at the frequent hip trimming and the
full basque which is expected To stand
out around the hips. Moreover the double
skirt Is an established fact. though the
length and style Of It still hang in the
balance. Sometimes the upper skirt
reaches only 10 the knees and sometimes
to the ankles. Some are only little rutiies
around the basque.
Thus we find ourselves between Scylla
and Charybdis For II We cling TO The short
puffy basque drapery we are In danger
OF paniers. but If we lean too much 10
the side Of the long double skirt We run
the risk Of looped overskirts and bustles.
The overskirts are only in very mild form,
as yet, but how easy TO put in few folds,
then a loop or two, and after that some
thing to make the skirt stand cut, when
there we are at the old dromedary style
againl
Here Is an evening dress showing the
new style Of hip trimming. Pretty, isn't
#? Yes. but therein lies IT'S power, and
by little stages we may be drawn into
something which, alas! is not pretty. The
material Of this dress is new weave cali

skirt has four hounces set on at short in

Mrs. Amelia Waite, the president Of
the National Mary Washington Monu-
ment Association, has, says the Wash
ington Post OF yesterday, returned to
this city from Fredericksburg. Va
where she spent two or three days while
the work OF preparing for the erection
OF the new monument was i'm progress
She went 10 Fredericksburg Monday
evening. and, with Mrs. Fleming Mrs
Thompson, Of the Fredericksburg Asso-
citation, and several gentlemen OF the
advisory board. spent all day Tuesday
at the site OF the old monument, which
was begun sixty years ago.
They saw all the stone removed and
carefully watched the excavations made
necessary by the larger size OF the new
shaft. No trace Of the coffin was dis
covered, and no indication was given
that Ii had ever been beneath the monu-
ment, though the most careful search
was made. because some one on the spot
said that some one else had told him that
when he was a boy he had seen the
edge Of the coffin when the digging for
the old foundation was under way. But
the search was vain The coffin is sup
posed to be in another part OF the lot.
II is expected that the foundation for
the new shaft will be completed this
week. In their construction have been
used, at the determination Of the Fred
ericksburg ladies. all the portions OF the
old structure. including the shaft, which
was greatly discolored and distntegrated
The new shaft will be shipped this week
from Vermont and placed in position
as soon as possible.
In the meantime. in the hope that the
monument may be paid for by the time
that it is ready TO be unveiled, the mem
bers Of the association are urged TO ex-
pedite the contributions

Sergeant Mangn suddenly remembered hav-

to the Superintendent last May. He had no
doubt that Reilly crank, but he told
him to wait moment while he ascertained
If the Superintendent would see him.
"Oh bring him in," said Mr.. Byrnes. when

Then the crank. who said he lived at No

story about $4,000 which he thought had
been nirustcd to the Superintendent by Mrs.

and $25 900 which Mr.. Byrnes had been keep
ing for Mrs. John Carroll Of Tcnth-ave. and

he said. "and want $4,000 as interest in
pennies right away"
"You couldn't carry that sum I'm pennies
said the Superintendent. wouldn't you as

"We, perhaps that would be as well'
Reilly assented
"All right" said Mr.. Byrnes, addressing Ser

Reilly was led into the Detective Bureau
where he was searched. Neither weapons nor
money could be found in his pockets. Some
torn pieces OF paper when patched together,
proved to be a copy of letter which Reilly
had written to Superintendent Byrnes on
March l. 1891, making demand Tor money
but giving no particulars OF the claim, That
letter had been referred to In postal card
which Reilly had sent Mr. Byrnes last May.
On that card was written
