THAT BULLET-PROOF COAT
BIZ The AwocIated Pres,.

LONDON, June 6.-Another private test
of Herr Doves bullet-proof coat was
made at the Alhambra yesterday. Herr
DOVE himself donned the cuirass and
Captain Martin fired two shots at it
from Lee-Mitford rifle, aiming rather
low. Dove did not appear to feel the
shock perceptibly. Then the cuirass was
suspended against sheet of
plate glass and peppered all over,
ten shots being fired. The glass was hardly
shaken. A Times representative who was
present, says he then examined the
cuirass and found holes In it, but no
traces of splashes. He saw that
the cuirass was bent both longitudinally
and across. The form OF the bullets when
extracted, he said, led to the conclusion
that they certainly had noe impinged a
knife-edge, and probably had not touched
metal of any kind. They appeared pre-
cisely like the button OF mushroom.

Still Hopes for Free Trade.
Boston Herald.

The time for the majority in the House TO
get in its work and secure further changes in
duties and more additions TO the free list is in
the session Of Congress that Will begin next
winter. This will be a short session, but in
the interval the advantage OF some Of
the changes made will have become mani
fest. and the utter foolishness OF great deal
of the protectionist talk will have then be-
come SO evident that the protectionists them
selves viii not dare to offer the objection that
they now do. Independent bills free listing
various materials could then be passed by
the House, and il seems TO us would have a
good chance of finding concurrent action in
the Senate.

reciprocity being the reward Of free
coinage Of silver. This should be oul
policy
It is interesting to examine the Re
publican platform adopted by the Re-
publicans Of Maine yesterday in State
convention to see to what extent the
Republicans of his own State adopted
the policy to which Mr.. Reed has an
nounced his fealty.
Mr. Reeds own friends were in con-
troll of the conventions and it was
especially noticeable that from Portland
in the list Of distinguished guests there
did not appear the name of a single
member of the old Blaine-Senatorial
faction.
And yet with man from his own city
as the gubernatorial candidate, with his
warmest friends running the conven-
ton, there was not word of approval
given to the policy on which he has
staked his all. The Maine Republican
platform yesterday gave no indication
that upon the shoulders of Tom Reed
had fallen the mantle Of the lamented
Blaine.
The platform declared that: "The
Republican party of Maine invites all
the people of the State, who are in accord
with the principles OF the following plat
form, to unite in a common cause of
action:
"A financial policy, not in favor of
monometalsm, either of gold or silver,
as the basis of financial system, but
OF international bi-metalism to be Sc
cured by all suitable means and the
most strenuous efforts of the national
power. Now and in the future, all dol
lars should be of equal value to the end
that suitable currency, abundant for
all wants, shall secure to all the people
the full results of their labor"
The Rockland, Me-, Star, staunch
Republican paper, in discussing Reeds
silver policy, said: "He seems to be
playing his cards for the Presidential
nomination in '96 in his own unique style,
but we can hardly believe it is style
which will meet appreciation among
Western men, whose good graces he is
soliciting, or add to his strength in the
East, on which section he must bank to
greater or less extent. His scheme
can hardly be said to be in keeping with
Republican principles that have given
his party its sound standing. Mr.. Reed
had better continue his study of the
silver question and be careful not to
allow personal ambitions interfere with
his common sense"
The st. Paul Pioneer Press, one of the
most loyal and devoted Republican
papers in the nation, would not believe
that Mr.. Reed would hold such views.
Thus it will be seen that neither the
East nor the West, nor even his own
State, supports or accepts Mr.. Reeds
silver policy, and his friends regret that
he ever gave utterance to remarks that
do not carly with them the support of
his party.

In ex-Speaker Reeds recent interview
in The London Fortnightly Review he
declared that, "If the Indian crisis does

friendly to bimetalism, TO unite, not in
a monetary union. but tard union

The cameras lens was opened;
A vision quickly passed
In through the lifted shutter,
Which closed and held It fast.
Although twas but an instant
BY some mysterious art
The camera drank its beauty.
And treasured it at heart,
And wrote the vision down
With all its charming grace,
And gave 20 me a copy
IL was my sweethcart's face.
So here e is before me,
Pcrfuming all the room
Among sweet wild rose blossoms
Which never cease To bloom.
A picture and "a frame
Which sweetest. who can tell,
The frame of June's fresh roses
That from the magic spell
or her deft touch drew Lie,
And seeing her blushed pink,
Or her own pretty likeness
OF whom it's sweet TO thinkf
With flowers for frame
So rare that natures flowers
Would wonder whence they came.

ford, of the United States supreme court appeared against, and the late Senator William Pitt Fessenden for MT. Dow, whose prompt acquittal followed. His action was also formally approved by 8 non-partisan Investigating committee, ap- pointed by the authorities. Two or three years after MT. Dow was elected unani- mousiy to the legislature, the withdrawal of all opposition to him being tacit and courteous acknowledgement on the part of political opponents that he had been uniustly assailed.
 In 1857, and twice thereafter, at the in- vitation of the United Kingdom Alliance for the suppression of the liquor traffic, he visited Great Britain, and without con- pensation, devoted more than four years of time to the advocacy of prohibition be- fore great audiences in every considerable city in the three kingdome. It may be noted here that the present government of Great Britain is committed to the mea- sure he then supported. It is doubtful if any speaker, not professional lecturer for pay, has covered in his labors so large a territory. By far the larger part of his time and strength for more than 40 years has been thus freely given, save only the three years which found him in the army during his country's peril.
 Through his long and active life he has shrunk from no exposure or danger that duty called him to encounter, and is still leading the movement which enlisted the strength of his youth. Since two genera tions ago he put his hand to the blow he has not looked back. Whoever else has faltered, he has not wearied in well doing. Never understanding the magnitude ot the task before him, no success has elated and no reverse has discouraged him. For this reform, at ninety years of age, he is laboring with a hope and enthusiasm worthy of youth, the determination of mature life and the earnest conviction and calm faith of ripe old age. But far down the western slope of life, he is looking with unwavering eye and treading with unfaltering step to the close which he knows is not far off, when he may say, "I have fought good fight, I have finished my course, have kept the faith"
