GERMAN REMEDY COMPANY.
1t Is Proving Its Ability to Effect
Wonderful Cures.

1t is really astonishing the way in which
the Bellinger German Remedy Company
is proving its ability to cure persons of the
morphine, opium, cocaine, whisky aud to-
bacco habits.
Hardly a day passes during which sew
eral patients are not turned out entirely
cured, and the company has yet to hear of
the first person who went back to the use
Of whatever he may have been taking after
having been declared cured.
The number of patients at the institute
is beng daily augmented, and the man age
ment have found it necessary to enlarge
their apartments in order to transact bust
ness.
That the number OF patients should in
crease rapidly is not astonishing, however
The inducements held out ty the German
Remedy Company are such that they can
not help but receive favorable cousidera-
tion from persons interested in the treat
ment OF cocaine, morphine. opium. liquor
or tobacco habits.
To begin with, the terms are more than
reasonable. Then, positive cure is guar
anLeed or no pay, and last, but not least,
medicines are so administered that persons S

LIBERTY-STREET GRADE.
The Troublesome Question Still Re-
mains Unsettled

A special meeting of the Street Commit
tee of the Board of Supervisors was held
yesterday afternoon to consider the ques-
ton of the Lherty-street grade.
A large number of the property-owners
were on hand and ready to give their vie ws
for the benefit of the committee.
Contractor A. f. Buckman, whose work
of grading was recently stopped, spoke to
the committee and told them that he
wanted the question settled one way or
the other, because he had a large amount
of money involved. j. j. Haley and a
number OF other property holders, includ-
ing tile Misses Pease, testified before the
committee and told how their property
would be injured now in this way and now
in that if the work was continued Some
of the peoples houses would be buried and
others raised il certain grades were estab-
lished. Attorneys Sullivan and Wood
fought it out tor their respective clients.
Toward the end the meeting got very ex-
citing, and the committee decided 10 ad-
journ without taking any action in the
troublesome and veXed question.

The changes that are to be made in the
plans for the Manufacturers build ng,
UlGs for which were opened on Thursday,
WILL not be OF a character that necessarily
cOmDllcates the original ideas for its con-
struction. II had been the estimate of the
executive committee that the building could
be constructed as planned for 500, 600. 1t
came, therefore, somewhat of surprise
when the lowest bid offered by the con-
tractors was $4,000 above this figure.
The executive committee determined to
keep at is original limit and A Page
Brown, architect. was instructed to make
necessary changes in the plan TO bring the
cost down to that figure. To do this Mr..
Brown has simply taken out about 10 feet
from the height of The building. IL will
occupy the same ground space, 1862 feet by
237. The height from the ground to the peak
of the roof will be SO feet instead of 100
originally planned. This cut off will be
distributed to the best advantage. The
gallery, in stead of being ten feet high. will
be seven and half, and there will be pro-
pOrtlOnate reductions in other instances.
This reduction in size will save a great
deal in the heavy lTusSes and in the iron
supports Of the building, and il is eSti-
mated that :he reduction Will be sufficient
TO meet the demands of the committee
The revised plans will be ready for in
specton of the contractors to-day. and
bids, as already announced. must be
in promptly at 3 p. NJ. on Monday. The
contractors are figuring at the same time
on the 60-foOt annex 10 the Manufactures
building, which is not intended 10 be a par
ticularly ornate affair. but will afford more
room for the exhibitors just the same.
The estimated cost of the annex is about
$4,000. The contractors bids for this
and all the other buildings are to cover
everything in the way of construction, in
cluding painting. decorations and fittings
of every sort. except electric light.

ana believing that young Turner was a
man OF means she chose him as the me-
dium through which she could secure her
liberty and at the same time provide for

ing that such action was The only course
left open 10 him as an honorable man.
Protection in the sense IN which she re-
ferred to it of course meant flight, and the
eloIement followed.
Now, as TO the part Jameson played in
the matter. After his wife had disap-
peared he called at the house of Turner's
father and mother and conducted himself
in manner that was far from that of a
gentleman. His language, as Mr.. Turner
expressed lt 10 me, was shocking and was
coupled with threats against those who
were In no way connected with the unfor-
tunate affair. and who felt the disgrace
fully as keenly as himself.

cause his son to leave the woman, and has
even offered TO provide for her in some

mand. and as the young man has no means

Our CuTrency,

A writer n Rhodes journal of Banking
fr July declares that the inception of
D ,nic4 may be generally traced to currency
initiation and the speculative disposition
which such an event always promotes. 1t
il somewht of paradox that the prevail
ing monetary stringency had its origin, not
in lack of money, but in a too liberal
.upply of that article. Notwithstanding
his, & q forthcoming session of Congress
u i'll DOUBTLESS witness frantic endeavors to
how that all our financial woes are
attributable TO currency contraction,
and the insufficiency of the present
.npply In view of these probable
ties, il ia worth while to examine that pro-
portion the currency in use in the United
states hears to that of other countries, and
also the basis Of our paper circulation. Our
currency now comprises S3+6 De0, 900 in
legal tenders $40 coo, 600 in treasury

and nearly 800 GEO Geo of silver dollars

the national hsuks, or total of about

addition to the gold available for redemption

sources of the country are virtually pledged
{ II the Sc curity of this credit money. But
il times of extraordinary financial stress
t0ere is limit to the debt-pay ing powers of
even the weslthiest government, il that
wealth is not in form that can be quickly
realized on. The fear of the adoption of
policy of liquidating its obligations in a de-
preeiated currency will impair the credit of
any nation, and during the time of financial
panic, credit and faith, however high and
strong. cannot supply the place of money.
England, whose monetary system is the
capitalization of the experience of many
years, has, including Wales, pop
uistion of % ooo,0d0 and has about
SI3j 900, 900 of paper money in
circulation, secured by an equal

figures that if anything is to be gained
from study of the course pursued by the
leading commercial nations of Europe, there
is no demand, in reason, for currency ex
psnsion. \ consideration of modern
methods of finance will tend to show that
the strength of the fabric of finance is more
dependent upon the stability than the d.
mansions of the foundation, and that while
the gold basis may be somewhat narrow it
sustains with uny ielding firmness the money
systems of the great nations of the world,
and that in finance, as in architecture, the
weightiest and most enduring structures
are reared on basis more solid than ex-
pansire.
