In the Artists Exhibition of 1898 at the
New York Academy of Design, there was
exhibited an oil-painting by j. l.. G. Ferris,
entitled Sweet Charity Its richness of
coloring commanded instant attention,
while the lesson it taught was so impressive
that one naturally returned to it for sec
ond view.
Its subject is young lady of clonial
times who is ON an errand to one of the
poorer families of the town. She has n
sensible, charming face, which expresses
with remarkable fidelity the sentiment of
her errand There is not home that this

"NIinnie Marks" is an old-time pro
fessional, whose picture adcrns every
rogues' gallery in this country. He
can be met with almost any night
strolling along South State street, on
the lookout for victim, and is gem
orally accompanied by John Cook,
alias "Glasseyed Johnnie" a clever
sneak thief. Marks sprang into mo-
toriety some years ago, when he was
arrested by Inspector Byrnes in New
York and taken to Detroit for the rob
berry of the First National bank in
that city.
A trio of crooks metJ. w. McKenna
of Chillicothe, Ohio, in front of the
Auditorium hotel the other night, and
after few drinks at the hotel buffet,

park, where Red" Deane. the she'll
worker, was manipulating the little
Joker After failing to induce Me-
Kenna to bet on the game, Deane
handed him $50 note and told him he
might keep it if he could show 500 OF
his own money. McKenna pulled out
his roll and began counting it, when
one of the gang snatched SS5 from his
hands and ran away with it.
George McFadden, a visitor from
Idaho, came to Chicago with 81 900
and two fine diamonds in his shirt

him to all the wine he wanted At
late hour that night they escorted

Bauer an ex-convict, who ran saloon
on Wabash avenue. There u dose of
arugged wine settled Mr. MeFadden,
and he was found the next morning

No trace was found of his money,
and he was compelled to return to
Montana almost penniless.
Antonio is known to but few of the
secret service men, but many of the
old-time detectives of the larger cities
know his record thoroughly. Antonio
is said to be the illegitimate son of an
Italian countess, and his right name
is said to be Gustelli.
When in funds and flying high, he
is apt to turn up at some heightened
hotel and register as Count Luigi Gus
telli of Florence. He has served
terms in Sing Sing, Columbus and
Joliet prisons.
Christopher Tallman, alias Long
Chris, is another expert at picking
pockets that may be seen almost any
day haunting the gates of the EXPOSE
ton.
Many OF the robberies that have
been perpetrated upon strangers
might be traced to him. lie has been
clever enough never to be caught in
the act or with the plumber on his
person.
One of the worst thieves here is n
newcomer to Chicago, named Barney
Burch, alias Walden. He practices on
the cable cars that run r to
tho Exposition on the Cot
tage GROVE avenue and State street
lines. Detective Norton recent y
caught him in the act of robbing u
lady ON car. The officer grabbed
the thief and was holding him until
the arrival of patrol wagon, when
Burch dropped one hand into his
pocket and drew forth handful OF
red pepper, which he dashed into the
detectives face Blinded with pain,
the officer had to let go, and the Grim
inal darted up an alley and escaped.
Richard Preston, alias Windy Dick, -
alias "Omaha Kid" another daring
thief has made several trips to the

Redemption an EmpossTblIity.
Portland Telegram.


The annals of finance record n,
greater struggle for the possession o
gold than is now going on in Europe
This is no more than the inevitable
result of the increasing value of thai
metal, caused by the policy of the
monometallic or single standard ma
tons. As this goes upward, down &c
other values, the price OF all products
OF mans labor fall, and debt and in
terest are piled up. What wonder
that prosperity finds sudden shock
waiting it and tina. commerce is in a
tick!ish condition?
The contest in Europe now has
simply boiled down to fight against
the force Of bankruptcy. Had UNI
versal bimetallism been adopted some
years ago, this general depression
would never have come.
Let us see what Europe has been
doing. 1t has been recognizing gold
as the only money OF final paying.
In 1850 Europe had circulation OF
$355,000,000 in paper in excess of the
metallic reserve. In 1860 this had
dopbled; in 1870 1t had reached
$1,215,0 900; in 1880 in was 81 ,45S,-
100000; and in 1890 it had jumped
to $l,75S,0o0,000. These are re-
markable figures, which are worthy
of the closest consideration. They
represent not the paper currency Of
the continent, but the excess over the
gold and silver reserve, and all Of the
nations except France since 800 have
refused to recognize silver in final
payment.
The banks of Europe in 1890 had
1854 100000 in gold. France held
1924, 100000, which deducted leaves
$530,000,000 in all other countries.
Furthermore, without France the pa
per notes in circulation in 1890 were
S2,462, 100000, and yet the banks had
only $3.50, 900, 900 in gold with which
to redeem them. This leaves the
excess of paper notes over gold, the
instrument of final settlement, 81 ,932,-
100000. There certainly is a sug-
gestion about that which should max Q
the alleged "sound money" advo-
Gates and goldolaters quake in their
boots.

The paper debt of the entire world
amounts to s3,525,000, 900, with but
s63o,000,000 in gold to redeem this
debt. The debt amounts to nearly
six times as much as the gold. Now
TO pay is impossible. One dollar
cannot pay six dollar debt. What
is to be done? Either the debts will
have to be repudated or made per
petual, or silver be made legal
t'nder as we'll as gold, and no restric-
tions be placed on its coinage. The
money sharks have brought about
this state of affairs, and it is only
a question OF time when they will
reap the natural results of their de.
deliberate, constituencies and cold
blooded villainy, if the advocates of
equal rights cannot succeed in re-
enactng an ample financial system.
This government recognizes gold as
the only money Of redemption, and
has but s90,000,O00 with which to re-
deem sl,06S, 1885, 300 of paper money.
When we consider the billions of dol.
lars of private debts to be redeemed
in gold, besides enormous public
debts, and all nations grabbing for
what little there is, even a blind fool
can see that the present financial
system of the world is all wrong.
The money leeohes will soon realize
the fact that they have sowed a gen
tie whirlwind and are inevitably des-
fined to reap a cyclone.

The Million,

One of the most curious facts con
nected with madness is the utter alb
sence of tears amid the insane.
Whatever the form Of madness, tears
are conspicuous by their absence, as
much in the depression of melancholy
or excitement OF mania as in the ut
ter apathy of dementia. If patient
in lunatio asylum be discovered in
tears it will be found that il is one
beginning to recover, or an emotional
outbreak in an epileptc who is scarce
iy truly insane; while actual insane
persons appear to have lost the pow
or OF weeping, it is only returning
reason which can once more unloose
the fountains of their tears. Even
when lunatic is telling one in fervid
language how she has been deprived
OF her children, or the outrages that
have been perpetrated on herself, her
eye Is never even moist. The ready
gush of tears which accompanies the
plant of the sane woman contrasts
strangely with tho dry-eyed appeal
of the laxative lunatic. II would
indeed seem that tears give relief to
feelings which, when pent up, lead to
madness. 1t is one of the privileges
OF reason to be able to weep. Amid
all the misery Of the insane they find
no relief in tears.
