Az to How a Sound as Well as Elastic
Currency Might BE Estab-

DENVER, July 1S.-Commercial cir
cles are greatly excited over the failure
of three banks in this city during the
day. The banks constituting the triple
failure are the Colorado Savings bank,
the Peoples Savings bank and the
Rocky Mountain Dime and Dollar
Savings bank. An estimate Of
the total assets are 81, SOC, 600 and
liabilities are placed at nearly that
amount. Charles Fl. Blakeney was made
assignee of the Rocky Mountain Dime
and Dollar Savings bank.
1t is understood that all the assign
ments were preconcerted and were done
for self protection and for the protec-
ton of depositors. The direct cause OF
the failures was the stringency of the
money market and inability to realize
on securities. The president of each
bank declares hat each depositor will
be paid in full, and that the institutions
will resume again.
An incipient run has been started on
the Denver Savings bank. The bank il
taking advantage of the 30 and 60 days
notification provision, and is paying
ont no checks or drafts for more thar
$50 each.

Judge Gresham's Decisions.

New York Tribune.
At the last term of the United States
supreme court four appeals from the de-,
cisions of the Seventh judicial circuit
court, Judge Walter @. Gresham presid-
ing, ended in reversal of the Judgment
of the lower court. These four cases
were all from Gresham's last term. At
the present term only one case was pre-.
sented to the supreme court on appeal
from the court over which Judge Gresh-,
am presided, and this, too, has been re-
versed. A clean record, as it were. It
seems that Secretary Gresham is in
fair way to eclipse the record made by
Judge Gresham. If we are not greatly
mistaken the next record will read: De-
cision of Secretary Gresham in the case
of the Provisional Government of Ha-
wall VS.. ex-Queen uokalani-reversed
by the universal Judgment of the Ameri-
can people.

Holton Recorder.
If Mr.. Cleveland is going to maintain
the high moral standard of right p
which he claims actuated him in at
tempting to tear down a respectable re-
publican government to reinstate cor
rupt and licentious monarchy, he ought
to resign his Office at once. 1t is noto-
rious fact that he was elected to his pres
ent position by repeaters in New York,
and by suppressing the republican vote
in several southern states. If all he
charges in regard to how the provisional
government came into power in Hawaii,
is true, the methods we're not half as
disgraceful as those used to elect Grover
Cleveland. Take our own state of Kan
sas. The disgrace and ignominy we are
now undergoing is the direct result of
the corrupt trade the democratic ma
tional committee made with the popu-
lists in this state, whereby the demo-
Gratis were to vote for Weaver and the
populist state ticket in the interests of
Cleveland and to get john Martin, .
democrat, into the United States senate

TEA-TRAYs and all japanned goods
should be cleaned with sponge wet
with warm water and a little soap.
LAY drain from the cellar which
will keep it dry. 1t will make it a
more suitable place for storing pro-
visions and more healthful to live
above.
HALF the battle in washing dishes
is keeping the dish-cloths and towels
clean. Washing out once a week in
ammonia water should never be neg
lected.
IT'S about time for the little red
ant, but if you will tie Jumps uf
camphor in paper and leave them
about his favorite haunts, you will
ward off the visitor.
To TAKE iron mold out of linen
hold the spots over a tankard of
boiling water and rub with juice of
sorrel and salt, and when the cloth is
thoroughly wet dip quickly in lYe and
wash at once.
ARTICLES Of food that are damp or
juicy should never be left in paper.
Paper is merely compound of rags,
glue, lime and similar substances,
with acids and chemicals intermixed,
and when damp is unfit to touch
things that are to be eaten.
A FREE application of soft soap to
fresh burn almost instantly re-
moves the fire from the flesh. II the
injury is very severe, as soon as the
pain ceases apply linseed oil, and
then dust over with fine -four. When
this covering dries hard, repeat the
oil and -four dressing till a good coat
ing is obtained. When the latter
dries, allow it to stand until it cracks
and falls off, as it will do in day or
two and new skin will be found to
have been formed where the skin was
burned.

Trying to Stand I'm.
Hays City Sentinel.

Hays City Sentinel.
We GIN hardly make the man out. Is
ne wicked, INSCRIPTIONS, revolution
airy enemy of law and decency, or is he
a weak, viscid sentimentalist who imag-
ines he has a mission in life and is
stupidity laundering around in search of
it? LIS he trying to ''stand in" with the
criminal class, or has he gushingly given
away to maudlin sentiment?- that's the
question. Either way the result is the
same. In effect the proclamation in
vltes all the unemployed scalawagism In
seven states to rendezvous in Kansas.
1t promises immunity to all the buns,
beggars and sneak thieves that infest
the farmer and householder. 1t affords
no relief to good men for the reason that
it is not likely that in all Kansas good
man in search of work was ever ar
rested and confined in the bull pen or
put to work upon the rock pile. We
never have heard of case. But to us,
the most serious phase of this affair is
the governors audacious attempt to an,
null state laws and city ordinances and
to dictate to the Judiciary. He has no
more right to suspend the laws against
vagrancy than he has to suspend the
laws against murder, and his proclama-
ton simply contains the essence of an
archy without its courage.

lism has and will cost this state can nev-
er be computed. In loss of capital, en-

SalVe for Tree Wounds.

Tree trimming is in order, and
many limbs will be cut off unavoid-
ably, No stump should be left, but
the cut should be made close to the
trunk and the would should be
painted thoroughly as soon as it has
seasoned for a few weeks. Left to
decay in the weather, it will soon ad-
nit water to the heart Of the tree,
when rapid and certain destruction
follows No preparation is as cheap
to buy and apply, and none more
efficient than good white or red lead
and linseed oil. A very little mineral
paint may be added if desired to make
the paint somewhat harder. Use no
turpentine. Some make the mistake
of painting the wound when it is made.
Paint and oil cannot adhere to wet
surface, but will peal Oh, or will let
sap and water blister beneath it.
Very soon the application is value
less. l have never detected any ill
effects from such use of paint Elk

Snake Charming.

A professional snake handler re-
marked the other day that snake
charming had become a common
thing nowadays, and the danger
about the work is Just sufficient to
attract some people. There is always
danger unless the poisonous fangs are
extracted. 1t is almost impossible
to charm, or rather drug, some species
of snakes so that they can always be
depended upon. They are treach-
erous set, and more so when they
have the poisonous fangs in their
mouths.
They know at once when these
fangs have been extracted. They
seem to lose their pride and ferocity,
and they swill try to sneak away
rather than to offer defiance. l have
known the f1ercest diamond back ever
brought from Florida cool down as
tame as lamb when it's poisonous
fang was taken out. Most of the
snakes handled by charmers on the
stage are harmless so far as poison
ing any one is concerned. 1t should
be crime, too, to let those with the
fangs in be exhibited.
The secret of snake charming is
simple-more simple than most
people imagine. In the first place,
the snake to be haddled is gorged
with food so that it is drOwsy. Then
it is drugged so that it's senses are
dazed and quiet. Sometimes they
are put in boxes containing ice, and
the cold puts them into semi-torpid
condition. In either case the snake
is very gentle, and only about half in
possession of it's senses. Then the
snake charmer uses certain motions
in handling the reptile, and by dint
of deXterity and strength the snake
is easily passed from hand to hand
and allowed to coil its Shiny length
over arms, legs, and body. The ex-
hibitOr, however, must be constantly
on the alert When the snake be.
comes too lively it is time to replace
it in the box.
The hand must always grasp it at
certain places where the head can be
guided and held from the body. This
is the hardest thing the charmer has
to learn. but it comes with practice.
II handling reptile with the poison
GUS fangs in one must be strong and
in perfect health. Any nervousness
or temerity might cost him his life.
The grasp and movements must be
precise and accurate. There is no
room for hesitancy or uncertainty,
and the strain on ones system dur
inE the performance is great. The
charmer is really toying with death
and death in its most horrible form.
