smalIpox at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Nov 29-Nine cases of small
pox wete taken from the district Just south
Of Thirty-first street and just east Of the
south branch Of the river. How many
other cases may be discovered there is a
matter of conjecture. The disease seems
to have been raging among the Poles in
that locality for some time, but seems to
have been known as measles. For that
reason the health guardians of the city
are inclined to the opinion that many
cases may be found there

Tamesin A., wife OF Samuel Mcintosh,
was born in koyalton, Dec. 20, 1875. She
was the daughter of Amasa and Altha
Dutton. In early life, she gave her heart
to the Lord and became a member of the
Congregational church. She was mar
ried to Samuel Mcintosh OF Bethel, Nov.
2, 1898, and soon after united with the
Methodist Episcopal church of Bethel
Gilead, of which her husband was a mem
Der. The next forty-four years were spent
in domestic happiness and the social en-
ioyments incident to farm life. About
one year ago, because OF advanced years,
enfeebled health and the difficulty OF Sc
curing desirable help, both indoors and
out, Mr.. and Mrs. McIntosh decided to
sell the old homestead. Last spring, they
moved to the village of West Randolph
and devoted their time to fitting them
selves with q new home, by building an
extension to the house occupied by their
son on School street. A few weeks ago,
an invitation came to spend the winter
with near relatives, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Belknap OF South Randolph. While prep
arations were being made for this short
Journey, Mrs. Mcintosh was taken Sc
riously sick and, after an illness of less
than week, she was called from earth,
Oct. 10. Her funeral was attended by Rev.
VIM. n. Roberts, pastor OF West Kan
dolph and Bethel Gilead Methodist Epis-
copal churches, Oct. Is. Mrs. Mcintosh
was devoted mother, a good neigbbor,
consistent member OF the church. Quiet
and reserved in manner, she was willing
helper in every good cause-one OF the
worthy characters whose lives so greatly
help the world TO become better-with-
out reproach in the community. Her
companion, the two sons-Edward, and
DR.. Csrleton w. OF Verona, H., have the
sympathy OF large circle of acquaint-
auces IN their unexpected sorrow.

The Downfall of Certain Financial
Fallacies.

The Downfall of Certain Financial
Fallacies.
The above is the title OF an article
in a recent Forum, from which we
propose 10 quote. Ii is Il most able
essay, by David A. Wells, and one Of
the best arguments against the fallacy
of free silver. One of the first and
greatest of financial fallacies is that
the general decline in prices during
the last few years is due to the appre-
citation of the purchasing power of
gold, owing to its scarcity. That
prices of staples in general have de-
clined is certainly true. But inyesti-
CATION shows that this decline is due
TO the many inventions and discover
les which have cheapened the cost of
production and created an Over-sup-
PLY. In less progressive countries,
where handicrafts are common, prices
are as high A. ever. Side by side with
the decline in prices there has been an
increase in wages. measured in gold.
That the decline Of prices is calami-
tv is another fallacy to be refuted, un-
less il be calamity TO bring greater
abundance of material comforts with
in the purchasing power of the bulk OF
our people. Another fallacv is that
silver has been Disseminated against.
The only discrimination against silver
arises from the growing conviction that
il is too bulky and inconvenicnt TO
become universal medium of ex-
The advocates OF free COIN
are declare that there is a conspiracy
Of nations against silver-a claim too
absurd to deserve answer. The real
cause of the decline in value of silver
Is. the con0iction that it is not the
nl,hev metal suited to II high civ
iIization. The higher we go in the
.cale OF civilization, the nearer we APP
proach a gold basis. The fallacy of
cheap money''is clearly shown; cheap
money means deprecated currency.
But the fact is, our people want the
dollar that will purchase the most of
,ther commodities, and that is the
dearest dollar that can be made. The
ast fallacv treated Of. is the one of
rold scarcity. Some claim that there
: not gold enough TO transact our
business. The fallacy Of this, also, is

way.
