"AUNT" SALLlE BARRY DEAD.
She Passed Away thursday Morning at
Her Scanty Home on West
Love Street.

"Aunt' Sallie Barry died at her
lonely little home onWest Love street
Thursday morning at $50 O'Clock.
Death was caused by old age and
pneumonia. According to an old,
much used Bible on the cupboard
near the corpse "Aunt" Sallie was
rs years old and was born in st.
Charles county, Mo. She had only
been ill since the first of last week,
when she was taken with a severe
cold.
Nearly everybody in Mexico knew
"Aunt" Sallie Barry. She was
everybody's friend-she was the old
lady that never married who lived
in the little unpainted house down
by the pottery. No more devout
Christian lived within the limits of
Mexico. She was one of the "regu.
lars" at all the services at the Me.
Church, South. Jesus was her all
and in all-''to live to her was
Christ" and when she fell asleep
in Him it was as if babe had been
sung to sleep in its mothers arms.
She was the only inhabitant of this
scanty little home where she had
dwelled tor twenty years, and for sew
eral years alone. 1t was just about
twenty years ago that "Aunt" Sallie
and her two widowed sisters took
up their abode in this one.room
house and were decided life time

Now that all three are dead the "a

was cared for by the church, the

her support. The deceased's near

A MONSTER PRIZE.
A Vast Sum Awaiting the Writer who
can Furnish the Best Biography
of Alexander /.

In 1925 a prize of 81 ,0O0,0 will
be offered in Russia for the best BIZ
ography of Alexander L. At the
time of his death, in 1925, one OF
his devoted ministers deposited the
sum of O,000 roubles with the stip-
ulation that it be kept at compound
interest for one-hundred years and
then offered with the proceeds as a
prize for a biography of the Gear.
This sum ought to encourage the
writers of the next century. At the
present time no Russian could get a
true biography of the first Alexander
before his countrymen. Next to Ma.
poleon, Alexander l. was the great.
est man in Europe during the Ma
poleonic era. Liberal, just and mer-
eiful, Alexander was a blessing to
his people during the early part Of
his reign.
AS one of the eonquerors of Ma
poleon, this Gar compelled the
Bourbons to grant liberal charter.
But after Napoleon disappeared
from European politics Alexander
relapsed into religious fanatjism
and adopted reactionary policy
that nearly provoked a revolution.
His health, if not his mini, was in-
iured by the tremendous exertlons

HIS FORTHCOMING MESSAGE TO
CONGRESS- On MONEY.
Ii is Based ON the Financial Plank
Of The Democratic Platform
OF 1892.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., November
22.-There is no doubt that the text
of the forthcoming executive finan-
cial message will be taken from the
shortest plank of the last national
platform, which demand the repeal
of the Federal tax upon the issues of
State banks. This has been the most
troublesome plank in the platform.
1t has been the plank most difficult
in the way Of honest fidelity to plat
form pledges, which the existing
Government has sought to consist
emily pursue.
The President has undoubtedly
been always in favor of a strict ad-
herence to platform pledges and has
uniformly urged the strict commits.
sion of the trust thus designated.
Many prominent financiers, how.
ever, have held that an uncondition.
al repeal of the State bank tax with.
out accompanying Legislation pro-
viding for national supervision and
control was bound to result in re-
newal of ante.bellum wildcat cur.
rency. Even Congress refused to
pass bill Internationally repeating
this tax. The Secretary of the Treas-
ury has always given the matter
serious consideration and always
held that the greatest stumbling
block in the way of q segregated
State bank system was the ac-
knowledged need of a uniform issue
and an everywhere similar currency.
Therefore, he has persuaded the
President that the coming session of
Congress, ifit adopt some extension
of the banking system similar to the
Baltimore plan," can consistently
repeal the taxuponState bank issues,
providing that these State chartered
organizations shall come in under
the Federal supervision and control
provided tor in the plan to be adopt
ed.
The Baltimore plan" was pri.
raarily devised as substitute for the
national banking system when that
should have expired with the ex.
tinction of the Governments indebt,
edness.
Undoubtedly the widening of this
proposition, to include State banks,
will be the most practicable re-
dsmption of the State banking plat
form pledge possible.

Jay GOuld's Daughters.


Two of Jay Gould's daughters
have joined the law class in New
York university, with the intention
of taking thorough course. These
young ladies do not propose to prac-
tice law. They are worth many
millions of dollars, and they are
able to live in absolute idleness and
devote themselves to the pursuit OF
pleasure all the remainder of their
days. But they want something to
occupy their minds-a study that
will give them mental discipline,
and as they are large property own
ers they desire to know all about
the laws relating TO personality and
real estate, SO they will run less
risk of being defrauded by their
agents and others. This is COM
mendable, and it would be we'll for
other rich and well-to-do women
to follow the example of the grea.
millionaire's daughters.

The mountain has lsaely been

competent to judge, but great masses
of rock seem to have fallen. The
snow capped cone has disappeared,
and sharp pointed peak has risen
in its place to the east OF the crater.
The changed appearance of the
mountain is apparent from the
streets of Seattle, so miles distant,
and thousands of people have
watched the great peak all the after.
