Bursted Booms.

The greatest collapse in recent years in
town booms is at Findlay, Ohio. Natural
gas was discovered there, and upon the
cheap supply of this for fuel and light, a
large town sprung up. The town was of
very rapid growth, but it has collapsed
more suddenly. The gas supply has given
out. and the town is worse than failure.
It is dead collapse, with six hundred
empty houses Manufactures have gone
away and others are preparing to go, and
it is estimated that the loss of population
will reach 4 900.
A collapse a little less pronounced was
that of Sioux City, Iowa, where failures ag-
gFesating 50,0OO,0 900 have just been an
nouuced, involving some 500 banksin Sioux
City and various parts of the country and
about 1000 people. The ''city' was laid
off upon as much territory as is covered by
Chicago. No Southern boom was laid
upon so large plan, and go Southern col
lapse has been more complete.

A New Scheme in Finance.

The gold dollar is so small that there are
practically none in circulation. Silver dol
lars are in circulation, but they are so large
that most people don't care to have many
of them in their pockets. How would it do
to have dollars, halves and quarters composed
of both gold and silver in combina,ion-one.
half gold and one half silver? 1.-THE proposed
international conference should adopt stand
ard of value of this sort, there would be a
single standard Of value, and free coinage
would not threaten disaster
The above paragraph appeared in the
editorial columns of the ADVOCATE in
May, 1892.
The paragraph spoke of a combination
of the metals more as matter of conve
nience than as means of keeping gold
and silver on a parity, though it was as
serted that free coinage Of silver] would
not threaten disaster ifa single standard of
gold and silver, in combination, were estab-
lished by the proposed international con-
ference
An x-Congressman, and a gentleman
who has given much thought to finance,
recently remarked to an editor of the AD
vocATE, in talking of the repeal of the
Sherman act and the difficulty of keeping
gold and silver on parity, that il gold
and silver were combined in coinage of
money he thought the question would be
solved Gold, he said, is the measure of
value the world over. Ifsilver depreciates
gold appreciates, and as the silver in a
dollar would fall in value the gold would
rise in exact proportion MS the silver
falls. Thus gold and silver, in combina-
ton, would MAKE u reliable standard, and
would provide for the use Of both gold and
silver as money.
The gentleman said he had given con-
siderable thought to the subject, and in
presenting his views TO Others had heard
no tenable objection urged to the scheme,
We would like TO see the matter dis
cussed by the press, and We present it for
that purpose.

FALL THREE THOUSAND FEET.

TRENTON, June 5.-Charies Richmond, an
aeronaut travelling under the name of Prof.
Jewell, made an ascension here at o clock
this afternoon and lost his life Four thou
sand spectators saw him rise 1900 feet IN his
balloon and then tumble the entire distance
to the earth. Men were thrilled with horror
at the sight, and women shrieked and tainted.
The ascension took place at Cochran Park,
picnic ground and pleasure resort on the
Delaware, two miles below Trenton. Rich
mond made an ascension at the same place
on Decoration Day and came down in the
river. He had not travelled upward over
200 feet, however, and the crowd of spectators
grumbled and cried 'Fizzle''
Last Saturday when he was advertised to
make the second of his series of three trips
at the park crowd of 6,000 persons was
present. The aeronaut boosted that he would
give the people their moneys worth this
time.
'.T'm going up out of sight" he said, land
the Lord only knows where I'll come down. y
1t was a clear day; the air was still, and he
sailed straight up to the clouds. When he
cut loose from the balloon to open his para,
chute he looked no bigger than a mans hand.
The descent was made in safety, however.
Richmond landing unframed in Trenton.
This afternoon it is said he used, not the
Dul IL Win
flaps or wings, an invention of his own.
When he cut loose for the trip downward
the parachute failed to work properly. He
did not seem to be able to get it open.
In twinkling, instead of sailing down
gracefully, he came down with lightning
rapidity, turning summersaults like u circus
performer.
The wind had taken his balloon about a
mile in n souiheasterly direction, and he
landed in Sturgeon pond, muddy little piece
of water flowing into the Delaware.
The spectators of the thrilling sight fancied
he was dead before he reached the pond, but
Waterman was seen tonight who declares
that he was less than a quarter of mile away
from the pond and heard Richmond cry fol
help. He says he FASTENED to the balloonist'
rescue, but when he got to the pond saw
nothing except Richmond hat on one of its
banks. The parachute was found several
rods from the hat,
Harry Jewell. the aeronaut, denies tonight
that Richmond used anything but the regula-
ton parachute. He added that Richmond
had made about 500 aseensions altogether an
had never before met with any serious acct
dent.
Richmond's body was recovered shortly
before 10 o'clock and brought to Trenton
Richmond's home was in Springfield, I'LL
/ He was 80 years of age and unmarried.

Rev. c. M. Brown Drowned.

FRoxT ROYAL, VA, June Rev. Chas.
NJ Brown, pastor of the Southern Methodist
Church here. was drowned today in the
Shenandoah river, near Harper's Ferry.
Mr.. Brown was one Of party Of four
which left Front Royal day or two ago in
two boats bound for Washington. They were
on pleasure trip and intended to drift down
the Shenandoah TO its junction with the Po-
tomac to the capital, fishing all the way.
He was native of Greenville, Tenn, and
when boy joined the Presbyterian Church,
his parents being devoted members of that
faith. He was educated at Emory and Henry
College, and took his degree of A. b. in the
GLASS Of 1875. While studying theology pre-
paraiery 10 entering the ministry Of the
Presbyterian Church he found himself unable
10 accept or preach all the doctrines required
by that church, so applied for admission into
the Holston Conference of the Southern
Methodist Church. From there he trans
(erred, in the first year of his ministry, to the
Baltimore Conference.
He served four years on Rockville circuit,
four years at Reisterstown, Md. A wife and
several children survive him. His body has
mot been recovered.

Extra Session OF, Congress.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The President said
this evening in reply to direct question by
a reporter of the United Press that he in
tended 10 call an extra session of Congress
not earlier than the first nor later than the
fifteenth of September, unless unexpected
contingencies should necessitate an earlier
meeting. The President further said:
sWhie there has been no mystery nor
secrecy in regard to my intention in this
matter, think it not amiss that our people
should be informed authoritatively that the
time is at hand when their Representatives in
Congress will be called upon to deal with y
financial condition which is the only menace
to the oountry's welfare and prosperity.
SIT is well for the people to take mp the
subject for themselves and arrive at their own
conclusions as to the merits of a financial
policy which obliges us to purchase idle silver
bullion with gold taken from our reserve.
One does not need the eye of n Gnancier to
see that this gold thus subtracted from the
governments stock is eagerly seized by other
nations for the purpose OF strengthening their
credit at our expense.
at does not need the art of craftsmanship
to detect the danger that awaits upon the
continuance of this operation. Already the
timidiiy of capital is painfully apparent, and
none of us can fail to see that fear and ap
prehension in monetary matters will ultl
mateIy bring suffering 10 every humble home
in our land.
81 think that between now and the meet
ing of Congress much depends upon the ac-
ton of those engaged in financial operations
and business enterprises. Our vast national
resources and credit are abundantly sufficient
to Justify them in the utmost faith and conf
dence If instead of being frightened they
are conservative, and if instead Of gloomily
anticipating immediate disaster they CON
tribute their share of hope and steadiness,
they will perform patriotic duty and at the
same time protect their own interests. The
things just now needed are GOODNESS and
calmness in financial circles and study and
reflection among our people"
