Called Upon film,

NRw YORK, Oct. 80. Edwin G0u]d,
second son OF the late jaw Gould and CO.
heir of the latler's millions, had his first
startling experience with crank this

sitting in his private office, shabbily
dressed man entered, walked to the desk
and said:
'Give me $4,000 and give it to me quick.
or give me tip OH the market"
Gould asked him to sit down until he got
the money from the safe. The crank sat
down and Gonld stepped to side door and
summoned Detective Clark, who quickly
took the young man to police headquarters.
Gould had been prepared for his visitor,
who had called at noon, and being told by
clerk that Could was out had said he
would return by 2 o'clock. when he wanted
a tip on the market or 5000.
At police headquarters the crank said his
name was Mongolia Andrews and that he
was "a years old. His object in going to
Gould was to get back $4,000 which he lost in
Rosedale. Kans., while working on a rail-
road in Gould's system. The police think
him insane. In notebook in his pocket
was list of the wealthy men of New
York City, with figures beside the name Of
each one, indicating what Andrews thought
they were worth.

ADVISING SILVER SENATORS.
He Seemed to Think Little of
President Cleveland.
BUT DIsLTKED JOHN SHERMAN
Had He Not Done Murder in Chicago
lie Tight Have Gone to
Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Prendergast's
bullets, which took the life Of Mayor Car
ter Harrison, might have found lodgment
in the heart OF a United States Senator,
or even of the President Of the United
States. For fully two weeks before the
murder of Chicago's Mayor the assassin
had been directing messages through the
mails to at least one United States Sela-
tor, which indicated that his mind was in
tensely wrought up against President
Cleveland. The burden of all these COM
municatons was the silver question.
Senator Dubois Of Idaho ana others were
the recipients of communications which
have been received almost daily since Oc-
tober 8. Writing on the 1st inst. he said :
Repeal is effectually beaten unless cloture
is resorted to 10 still the voice of the peo-
pie, and if this dishonorable, unconstitu-
tional and unusual course is resorted to
the peace of the nation is risked. and no
Senator who votes for cloture can justify
his course from patriotic standpoint. l
repeat that repeal is defeated unless clo-
ture is resorted to-"
On tile oath he wrote: II notice waver-
ing in the ranks OF silver's enemies. Your
side is now at non est. Ii you are deter
mined. firm and patient you can win. The
best thing to do is to fight it out. Look
out for artifices on the part Of your oppo-
nents. Remember that the strongest and
most intelligent leadership is on the part
of the silverte side. Grover Cleveland Is
impotent. The cry for repeal is simply a
whim Of his. Is the United States Senate
going to yield to an irresponsible Presi-
dents whim?"
On the 26th he wrote: Hold the fort.
The President was about to give up the
fight, but certain persons like John Sher-
man and Banker Benedict of New York
reanimated him. Ii you hold out you are
sure to win. They dare not attempt the
cloture. Hill of New York has no inf1u-
ence in the Senate, owing to his unsavory
record In New York. The President has
become tired and will give up in despair
if you delay the vote as long as possible
by every means at your command" de
adds postscript to this q ote in which he
says: 81 have done and shall continue to
do my duty"
The silver Senators paid no attention to
these cards for the reason that since the
silver fight began they have been receiv-
ing many notes of similar nature from
all parts of the country and from people
apparently excited on both sides of the
question. These have included threaten
ing letters as we'll as some telling them If
they did not cease their opposition to the
repeal bill they would be shot down like

Californians Propose to Fight for
What They Have Gained.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 30.-It is generally
understood the Senate will pass the Chi
nese extension bill while the House is con-
sidering the silver bill. Several Pacific
Coast men said if the Senate should amend
the bill. as has been suggested, by strik-
ing out all of the amendments, making 1t
simply an extension of six months. a
quorum would be needed In the House to
pass the amended bill. The California
members do not propose to give up wha
they would gain In extension with the
amendments they have proposed and
which the House has accepted.

BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 3O.-The Statesman,

pie by the abandonment of bimetallsm
Idaho will not suffer as severely as many
other States. Our magnificent undeveloped
gold territory will afford our mining popu-
lation an opportunity for the exercise of
their energies and assure them prosperity
in the future. The blow will fall with all
its crushing weight upon the people of
those States where there is no such indus

State of Washington will welcome the
passage of the repeal bill. The people of
this State do not want something for moth
Ing. 1t is doubtless true that they believe
in bimetallism, but they are sensible
enough to recognize the fact that enduring
bimetallism can only be attained by inter-
national agreement"
SPOKANE, WASH. Oct. 30.-The Review
will say: "By the irony of fate Wall
street will look in fear and trembling and
the failing values is that which it has been
clamorlng for the whole summer through.
Stocks which had risen ON the prospect of
compromise suffered a slump yesterday
on the absolute assurance that the Senate
would repeal the silver law before it ad-
jourEed for the day. The repeal is set
tied fact, but the fight for honest money is
still on. The American people declared
for double standard at the polls one year
ago. They cannot always be trihed with
in this way. When next they voice their
will they will see to it that men are chosen
who will execute their sovereign will"
TACOMA, WASH. Oct. 30.-The Ledger
says: "The repeal of the Sherman law
has given the old parties the worst shock
they have encountered. The vote leaves
their lines where they are found only with
difficulty. Whether they can be reformed
out of the measures of the coming session
we shall see."
PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 80. - The Ore
gonian says: "The repeal had to come be-
cause the business of the country could net
possibly stand against the conditions Gre
ated by the prolonged uncertsinty as to
the qualify and value of the money of the
country. 1t was a combination of Sena-
tors from the silver-mining camps and
,, from a benighted State Of tbs darkest
South that stood against the repeal for
which business and industrial interests Of
the country were contending. 1t was ignor-
ance or mistaken self-interest and semi
barbarism against know ledge and civilIza-
tIOn."

turn of better habits in many things be-
sides currency.
If Cleveland can accomplish the reduc-
tion of the tariff he will stand as the great
est admin strator of the United States in
the present generation. Without re-
formed tariff reform in the currency will
do no permanent good.
The Times says: The victory shows the
firmness and courage of Cleveland, and
there is hope that repeal will restore none
tary stability.
The Daily News says: Cleveland's
shrewdness and sagacity have won de-
cisive victory for honest money and COM
nonsense. The Mckinley tariff law will
go the same way as the Sherman act.

In the meantime, in company with
Tillie and Christine, we visited few
neighboring saeters. The arrangement,
belongings and customs at all were pre-
cisely alike. AT night the girls call the
herds from the mountains with peculiar
penetrating calls and songs. As they
approach, each COW, goat or sheep is
addressed by name, each name ending
with the Norsk syllable ros, a term OF
endearment; and each animal is re-
warded by bit of salt licked from the

ody of the musical little bells with
which the herds are provided, intensified
by the echoing rocks and rare mountain
air, is melodic experience never to be
forgotten. Each animal stands demurely
at milking, night and morning, until
signal for its liberty is given by the
saeter-girl briskly patting its back. At
night the animals dispose themselves
for sleep in little groups closely huddled
about the cabin; and the caressing and
cooling of the girls to the dumb and
faithful creatures, as they arc sentaway
to the crags for the long days grazing
is a scene of tender pastoral sweetness
and asectionate simplicity worthy the
noblest poets or painters art.

ST. JosEPH's, Mo-, Dec. ia most
remarkable occurrence is agitating the
community eight miles north of this
city, in Savannah, Mo. Some time last
June, Thomas, the 1l-years-old son of
farmer named Alexander Gilpin, was
stricken with rheumatism of the right
side and leg. The pain was so severe
that his parents were obliged to keep
anything from touching the body or
limb. Doctors could do nothing to stop
the pain, which became so severe that
the boy had the lock-jaw.
Thursday he fell into what seemed to
be trance and could not be aroused
for some hours. When he was finally
awakened, being unable to talk, he
wrote on piece of paper to his parents
that he had seen his two little dead
brothers and sisters. He said they told
him to send to certain field and at
particular place to scrape away the
snow until they would find bed OF
moss, and under this bunch of roots,
which they we've to bring to him.
The doubling parents yielded to his
entreaties, and going to the place, found
everything as the boy had stated. They
brought the roots home and the boy
told them how he had been instructed
to prepare an ointment with them.
The ointment was made and applied
TO the seat of the pain, the result being
that the next day the boy left his bed
and all traces of lockjaw disappeared.
lie can now walk as well as ever. These
facts are vouched for by o. J. Hurley,
editor of the Savannah Democrat, the
physicians and all of Gilpin's neighbors.

INCOME TAX MAY STAND ALONE.
Not to be Considered In Connection
With Other Revenue Measures.

--
by Eliminating It From Customs and
Internal Revenue BIZ, 1t Can be PASSED
Upon Solely on Its Aierits-The Senate
Hostile to 1t.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1l.-Among the
many uncertainties attending the final
preparation and presentation of the
Iaril bill is the question whether
the custom house and internal
revenue provisions would be merged
in one measure, as in the Nc.
kinley bill, or would be separately
dealt with and made distinct bills. After
numerous contradictory statements an
impression has finally crystalized in the
best informed quarters that the commit
tee on ways and means will report that
part of the bill covering the customs
features independently of the internal
revenue part.
When an agreement has been reached
on the times included within the latter,
it will probably be reported as an
amendment to the customs sections and
Incorporated with them, If they have
not then already passed the House. II
they have gone to the Senate the inter
nal revenue sections will be considered
and adopted as an independent bill.
There are some reasons advanced by
members of the committee why the lat
ter plan will be preferable to combining
the two in one measure. Standing alone
the question of imposing an income tax
could be decided without reference to its
effect upon the other provisions of the
bill. Opponents Of the income tax
scheme expect the Senate to settle the
matter adversely to an income tax, even
should the House vote in favor of it.
The alternative method of raising
revenue, which would then be brought
forward, would be to put a duty Of
cent pound on sugar and repeal the
bounty outright, thus providing a net
increase of revenue amounting to $780,.
100000 and rendering the imposition Of
an income tax unnecessary.

RUDoLpn,s BEA UTIFuL cERAMIcS


a9Ahpltion saie OF Belleek Pottery From
tho Worlds Fair at q. f. Rudoiph's
Store, Fourth and Market streets.
q. L. Rudolph has just purchased the
whole of the beautiful Belleek pottery
exhibit shown by OFT & Brewer, tho
trenton manufacturers, at the Word's
Fair. The collection is now on exhibit
ton and for sale in the upper rooms Of
the store. Belleek pottery is the most
famous and the most beautiful OF Amer
lean ceramic manufacture. II vies with
anything made in Europe. II is not ex-
celled by Royal Worcester, Doulton, or
Crown Derby.
The exhibition on Rudolph's second
floor includes lotus and pot pourri vases,
Moorish jars, amphore, jardinieres,
rocco Trays, and egg-shell china, the
last light and thin as paper.
Ihere is an Egyptian vase there that
tcok the finest artist in the factory four
months to complete. He was paid $40
a week, so that the actual painting alone
cost $500. The vase was held at the
Worlds Fair for 81 300.
The OFT d. Brewer Company failed
during the Fair and Mr. Rudolph pur-
chased the whole collection and he Is
now selling it at half rates.
There is wonderful variety of de-
sign in color and form. There arc
splendid pale blue and white cameo
vases; vases whose motive in color and
shape is inspired from the rich green
leaf and the large pink blossom OF the
cactus; there are deep purple-blue and
gold vases; the most fragile and delicate
tea and coffee cups in dainty egg
shell fabric; bowls of iridescent china
that look like mother-of.pearl conch
shells, &c.
1t is understood that at regular prices
the collection would have cost between
$4,000 and $4,000 The whole col
lection is being sold for far less than it
cost to make. Mr.. Rudolph invites
special attention of his Christmas pa.
irons to the ceramics which are arranged
for view on the second floor.

1t Causes Great Surprise at Washington
The Department Writes for an Explana-
ton. ....
The big export figures of the port of
Wilmington have caused tremendous sur
prise in the Bureau of Statistics offices in
Washington. A letter of inquiry came to
Collector Townsend Monday asking him
whether the big returns indicated some
thing temporary or whether there is q
prospect of its continuation from month
to month.
The collector will probably write back
to say that weekly report of 100000 or
so gallons of crude and refined oil is about
the normal state Of things for the chief
port of the State of Delaware on that staple
article.
