FOR FREE COINAGE.
Advocates of the White Metal Prominep
in the Transmississipni Congress-

Advocates of the White Metal Promine Mt
in the Transmississippi Congress.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2S.-The develop
ments of the second days session of
the transmississippi congress have not
been without interest for the advocates
of the free coinage of silver, who have
been anxious to secure definite express
sion from the congress in favor of the
white metal.
Not alone have the minor features,
such as warm applause when free coin
age was mentioned, been encouraging,
but the organization of the committee
on resolutions, with Congressman w.
j. Bryan of Nebraska as chairman and
r. A. Marshall of Texas as secretary,
has been highly delighting. Neverthe-
less there is as yet no certainty that the
matter will go beyond this. In the
convention there is strong element in
favor of international free coinage only
and another opposed to any expression
whatever upon the subject by the con-
gress. Whether the bimetallists will
be strong enough to overcome both
these elements cannot be told. Yet
there is a certainty that the main
struggle will be upon this portion of
the resolution committee report and
the battle will not be of brief duration.

SAVED BY A GALE.
A THANKSGIVING STORY By NJ. QUAD

Copyright, 1894, by American Press Associa-
tion.
On the night of Nov. %, 1873, the bank
Of Davids & Davids at Gainesville was
robbed of bonds, cash and notes of the
face value of 5000, 600. 1t was private
bank in town of 1000 people, but the
town was the center of a rich agricul D. raj
community. Nearly every farmer had
money in bank or invested in bonds, and
the bankers were trustees or administra
tors for several estates. They were broth
ers and both well off, and so it came about
that their vaults held rich pickings for
robbers.
On the morning of Nov. 90 horse
which had been rendered helpless by hard
riding was found in the streets of Char
lotte, village % miles west of Carriers
vile. About midafternoon an officer who
had been tracing the bank robber appeared
in Charlotte and identified the horse. 1t
was plain that the man had come that
way, but it was not so plain which direc

CURRENT TOPICS IN THE
SCHOOLS.

The suggestion that every teacher,
whether in city, village or district
school, should strive to interest their
pupils in the study of current topics,
is an excellent one. The primary OBJ
ject Of school instruction is not merely
to carry the pupils through so many
textbooks on so many different SUBJ
jects, but to guide their growing
minds so as to develop the best man
hood and womanhood. The first reuui-
site for the successful study of cur
make the study of current topics of
rent topics in the schools is teacher
who is himself in sympathy and in
contact with the best thought of the
day. The next requisite is a journal
that can be used as a text book; one
that will furnish the necessary record
of events and comment thereon with
a good range and variety of reading.
With such a journal the teacher can
great benefit, not only to the scholars
but to himself. A weekly journal
that fairly presents all sides of every
important public question, and that
admirably meets the requirements for
the study of current topics in the
schools, is Public Opinion, publishe
at Washington, d. c., at $3.50 per
year. A contribution of ten cents
apiece from 25 pupils will pay for
Public Opinion for ,one year, or five
cents apiece will pay for it for six
months. The weekly issues can be
used as textbooks in the reading
classes, and if preserved and bound
they make valuable addition to the
nucleus for a'school library. Send for

Opinion one year for So.

A. FOUL MURDER.
An Unarmed Man Shot and KilIed-The
Murderer Threatened with Lynchinr,

An Unarmed Man Shot and KilIed--The
Murderer Threatened with Lynching.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, Dec. 20.-Rich-
ard R. Newell, chief engineer of the
Midland Terminal railroad, was shot
and instantly killed at 4:4O p. m. yes
terday by man named Van Hough-
ten. The trouble grew out of a right
of-way matter which Mr.. Newell was
investigating. Van Houghten had a
cabin located upon the line of survey
where the railroad is being extended.
Van Houghton used Winchester rifle
and Newell was unarmed.
There was considerable excitement
and much talk about lynching the MUIR
derer, but the sheriff succeeded in get
ting Van Houghton away, and he is
now on the way to the county jail at
Colorado Springs.
Van Houghton has had trouble over
this right-of-way matter before, and
quarreled with another party over it.
AT that time he made the threat that
he would shoot the next man who
came to talk to him about it. He is also
said to have been connected with the
labor troubles at this camp during last
spring.
Newell's body has been taken to Col
orado Spring, accompanied by his I'M
Gle, Mr.. HI. 2. Lillibridge, president of
the Midland terminal.
The murdered man was a son-in-law
of DIR. Harris, a millionaire of Cleve-

IN AMSTERDAM.

An Artists Amusing Letter of His Ex-
periences in tho Dutch City.
Jules Guerin, the artist, writ ing to
q friend from Laren, Gooiland states:
Il started out with color box and can
vas to paint the town. On the first
bridge was stopped by a policeman.
He talked gibberish at me for a time
and as near as l could discover he
wanted me to climb off the earth, bus
l talked back at him and I think puz-
zled him little. He let me remain
on the bridge. Afterwards went on
one of the old canal boats and made
some sketches looking towards q
Tower of Tears This, think, will
make one of the best pictures that I
have ever attempted"
Mr.. Guerin has had various expert
ences while on the other side of the
pond this time. While walking
through one of the slums in Amster-
dam he came near getting robbed, and
had it not been for his color box he
claims he certainly would have, and
probably worse might have happened
to hiH. He writes: II was walking
in the Jewish quarter. L passed along
unmolested for way, when l came up
to group of men near some sort of
passage. One said something to an.
other misunderstanding chap, who
stopped me. He said something I
conld not understand. At any rate he
was ready to put his hand in my
pocket while the other was holding
me from the back. pointed towards
my color box and made an effort,
throwing them off, still pointing to
the box-why l don't know. They
stood back astonished, and SO was l,
but quickly moved out of that neigh
borhood. 1t puzzled me what made
them let me go, and the only con-
clusion / could arrive at was that the
color box in my hand gave away my
profession; they said TO themselves:
He is painter; if we rob him we are
in debt. '"-Chicago Tribune.

PREjiDENT-ELEcT M'BRlDE

Or theI American Federation of Labor
Win Take His Time About Qualifying
and win Not Hold Two Ohices-Ths
Presidence OF the United Mineworkcrs
COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 2O-President-
elect Mcbride, of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, stated to the United
Press that while he was entitled to his
seat Immediately after his election, he
has concluded not to qualify until
after the outfit has been moved from
New York to Indianapolis, which he
thinks will be some time in January
next.
While he has not said as much. his
close friends think he will preside at
the meeting of the executive board OF
the United Mineworkers which con
venes in this city early in January,
help them outline some special work
for the annual convention, which will
be held here in February, and then
tender his resignation as president of
that organization.
He has been urged to hold both po-
sitions. but as the United Minework-
ers are under the jurisdiction of the
American Federation, he does not think
it would be right for him to do so, as
he would probably, at some time, be
called upon to pass upon his own deci-
sions.
While Vice-President Penna, of In
diana, is McBride's choice for Presi-
dent of the United Mineworkers,@ it is
known that President Adams, of Ohio,
wants the place, and will make hard
fight for it. 1t will be charged, how
ever, that he is too radical, just as it
was charged that Mcbride was too con-
servative. Mr.. Penna, it is claimed, is
q compromise between the two.
