THE BIMETALIC LEAGUE.
THE FREE slLvERITEs IN A BAD
 WAY.
A Lack of Interest in the West Threatens
 the League With Dlsintegration.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 27.-Whether or not the Bimetalic League shall go out of existence will be determined at the conference of members of that organization which is being held here today and which was called for this city in view of the fact that many of the members are also delegates to the Trans-Mississipp Congress. Or late life has been dying out of the organization and there is notable lack of interest on the part of the silver producing States of the West. Those who are still loyal to the or ganization say that it is absolutely useless to carry the free coinage war into the East so long as the West is divided on the question of methods and policy It is probable that the conference today will issue call for a meeting of silver mfn at Denver at which the silver producers and the commercial interests of the silver States will be required to put them selves on record as to whether they desire to keep up the organization or let the cause of free coinage sink into obseurity.

postei Red raue.

The rule of the dead letter ofE3ce is e make extraordinary effort to return all missent letters which are found to con- tain money. But blind obedience to this rule is the basis of an entertaining story. A boy in the Indian school on the Skokomish reservation, which is about three miles from the postofioe of Union City, Wash, wrote 8 letter to his brother at Seabeck some time ago inclosing in it small sum of money.
 He also wrote on the envelope that, fl it should not be delivered in proper time. was to be returned to the writ CT. His brother did not call for it, and 1t was returned to Union City. Tho postmaster there had not heard of tho boy, and on inquiry failed to find him. Accordingly he sent the letter to the dead letter offlce.
 On arrival here 1t was opened, and t had money in 1t. It was returned to Union City with long letter of instruc- tions to find the writer, if possible After inquiry the boy was at last found and was requested to 90 in person, olaim the letter and receipt for 1t. and the postmaster had to go through ~ much red tape as if the letter contained @1, GOO. The joke becomes evident when 1t is known that the money in the letter amounted to only cent postage stamp and a copper cent New York Tribuna

Newspapers and Cotton

Recently the GRAPHIC sent out statements to many of it's weekly subscribers and in almost every response came a message something like this:;ss You will please discontinue my paper, as cannot afford to take a $l.50 paper with cotton at cents pound"
 It is well known fact that not only the GRAPHIC, but almost every paper in the South, has repeatedly urged the farmer or planter to de- crease his cotton acreage. It is also known that the present low price is caused by an over-production of the fleecy staple. Had the farmers listened to the sensible advice given be the newspapers, they would not now be bemoaning 5-cent cotton, and instead of writing that he is not able to pay for a weekly newspaper at the meager price of $1 50 per year, he would be subscribing for the daily. Such persons as are now sui fering from 5-cent cotton are the ones that need a newspaper most, and should by all means take the WEEKLY GRAPHIC. If they will follow it's ad- vice we will hear no more of their being unable to take a paper on ac- count of 5-cent cotton, for they will have all the neeessaries of life and an abundance of money as well.
 Five-cent cotton has not lessened the cost Of publishing a newspaper one tithe, nor has it reduced wages in any other vocation, and if a plan- ter can't make living at it let him try something else. A reduction of acreage is the only economic remedy for 5-cent cotton, and it is the only salvation for the planter.

TAKEN FOR A GHOST.
An Amusing Experience of Young Ir1sh Traveller In Ghent.


 Traveller In Ghent.
 Many years ago an Irish student, hay ing obtained travelling scholarship d Oxford, went abroad to see tho world, of which he knew little. Crammed with the classics, he had not the slightest knowledge of any modern language save English.
 On landing at the sleepy town of Ghent he put up at an old many pas saged hotel and sallied forth in the even- ing to see the town. Shortly after o'clock he returned to the hotel through streets ominously silent He found the doors shut and saw no signs of life within. After making noise enough to rouse tho seven sleepers" he heard the sound of some one moving within.
 The door was stealthily unbarred. and some one--whetheY man or woman he could not tell-holding 6 dim oil lamp reluctantly gave him admission. Then. barring the door and muttering unintelligible sounds, the figure disap- peared. The guest yelled for the waiter and was answered by a hooking echo.
 He groped his way up tho breaking staircase and felt along the passage till he came to an open door. Thinking \ the door of his room. which he he'd Left open to guide him, he entered. A shrielI was heard. and grun voice called out in French, Who are your' He rs- treated and heard the door angrtly shut and bolted.
 In little Under box he had some ci, gar fuses and wax taper. Hs lighted one of the fuses, but before he could ap. ply the flame to the taper 1t went ont After exhausting his stock of matches and filling the passage with g strong sulphurous odor hs was left in the dark ness of despair.
 He regained the staircase, descended 1t and found his way to subterranean passage. There suddenly he heard Q piercing shriek and then . fall like that of a carpetbag A rushing of many feet was followed by light The feet were those of walters and chambesmaida The fAll was that of . plump Epglish lady's maid The bearer of the light spoke English. and from him the stranger learned the cause of his xescue.

The influence which q successful new play has in directing the taste for popular reading has never been more amply demonstrated than in connection with Otis Skinner's splen- did production of Clyde Fitch's new play, His Grace de Grammont. There probably has never been such q run at the libraries for Anthony Hamil- tons Memoirs of Count de Gram mont" since the book was first pub lished,, nor has there ever been such marked interest shown in the his- tories of the Court life of Charles II as since the production of the new play was first announced. Fitch's first play, Beau Brummell, has q similar effect, and during it's first season there was probably more information disseminated regarding the famous flop of the court of George II than during all the other years that we have existed as a nation. This newly awakened interest In the Count de Grammont is doubtless limited to young women. Apart from the engaging and picturesque character of the period of Charles II, Count de Grammont himself is just the type of gallant whose elegance, manners, wit and armours would be mostly likely to cause futter in the hearts of the susceptible maidens. This will, especially, be the case now, since Otis Skinner's handsome personality has vivified him in such an interesting and gra- cious manner. This female interest will doubtless have an impor- tant bearing on the financial results of the new play, for all the women will want to sec him, and where women go men are, sure to follow. 1t is certain to be the greatest matt nee play of the season.
