once more at the mercy of the bank
ers.
The gold reserve has fallen below
the danger point" as Mr.. Carlisle puts
it; aud hence he has set about arraag-
ing to meet this danger. He has no
one to 60 10 for assistance but the
bankers. He did not call for an inter
national agreement to help him in his
calamity. He should have called on
the friends of gold redemption in Eng
land at this time of trial. He has Ia
ken the advice and followed the sug-
gestions of these English gold gam
blers. and it is right. If not natural
that he should have called on them in
time Of peril. He does no such thing
however. He calls on the bank COM
bines TO save or perish"
The bankers of New York held a
conference on the subject, and as to
what their decision is no one outside
of this combine seems to know. They
will doubtless ask for gold bonds, but
as they cannot get them from this
Congress and will be very certain not
to get any such outrageous legislation
from the next body of law makers,
these bankers are in quandary as to
what course to pursue.
If the way was open for them to
bleed the country they would be
prompt to act. There may be Il secret
deal made AS there was a few years
ago, without consulting the people or
without authority Of law. The New
York bankers say the outflow of gold
is about ended. How they know this
or what reason they have for the as
sertiOn Is not clear.
Evidently gold will not cease to
leave this country rs long as other ma
tions want 1t and as long as our Treas
ury is open to the world. If Mr.. Car
Isle would shut down the gold deliv-
cry window the outflow would stop,
but if he delivers gold to anyone who
may ask for it, jew or gentle. he may
expect to be continually paving out
gold. There Is no reason why gold
shipments abroad should stop. as for
eign countries are struggling to foster
the same monetary humbuggery as the
United States, and must have gold.
Our Government Treasury is open to
them, but when foreign nations get
the gold. it is impossible for us to Sc
cure it again only by and through
commercial deals. They have very
| much more financial sense than we, rs
they refuse to be robbed Of their gold
reserves.
The effective way to get clear of the
gold plague is to let the gold go to
Europe, or to Halifax or Hades, and
adopt system Of American money
that will stay at home and help the
country prosper. Put the gold re-
| serve up at auction and sell it out to
| the highest bidder and use money
| that has less commercial value and
there will be no more trouble and per.
| plexity relative to maintaining u re.
| serve.
1t is the heigh. Of folly for the
treasury to maintain and keep in the
vaults million dollars of useless
money. Monay was designed to cir
culate among the people. How is a
| Government to be maintained If il
boards up the money and thus Grip
pies wealth production? II a Gov
eminent has healthy wealth pro-
ducing machinery it is out of danger

THE HUSTLER.

Thomas H. Davis and William T. Keogh's superb farce comedy, "The Hust- Ter, D is this season more than expecting the success scored by it in former years, and is being witnessed by crowded houses wherever it is presented. This piece was first staged four years ago and made very extensive tour of the country, making the bit of the season wherever seen. The suc- eeeding year many new novelties were 1n- troduced and the farce was greeted With even greater enthusiasm than during the first tour. Each year the piece has been rewritten and improved and kept in ad. vance of the times, so that "The Hustler has come to be regarded as the ieadln farce comedy attraction.
 This season siThe Hu5tler'' has been more extensively i'm proved than ever. before, and the success it is meeting with shows that it is now more popular attraction than ever. The story has been rewritten and made stronger by the Introduction of new farcical comedy business and ideas, novel specialties of high order, new songs, original dances and the many little bright effects which make entertainments of this character pgularly attractive. The company is the largest and most talented that "1he Hustler" has ever had. It can Joe stated, without exaggeration, that it is the strongest organization that has ever appeared in farce comedy. The part of Con McFadden, "The Hustler,'' very original character conception, is played ,ihy the famous farcical comedian, J. |. Tierney. McFadden is indeed hustler, and his habit of borrowing from everybody , and computing debis from ungranted loans furnished no end of fan. He works every body in the piece from the office boy to the z German beer brewing millionaire, An hauser Busch, played by Harry Watson, the famous German comedian. Carrie Onn, the soubrette character, is played by irene Hernandez, the singer fand dancer, who is an excel lent actress. Anna Da1.a ie played hy the well known Alice Hutchins. A great re- quisite to the success of any farce comedy pretty girIs--is filled by Mamie Mayo, Julia Taylor and May V. Warren, most ac- eeptably. One of the specialtie5 of unusual
 merit presented in 'fThe Hustler" is the
 tramp acrobatic act of James P. Smith and James r. Cook, the tramp-acrobats. Their act was the great vaudeville hit of New
 York last summer. They played in each ot
 the music halls and on the roof gardens in
 turn. No greater indorsement of their
 merit could be gained, for the managers of
 these resorts entertain strong feelings of rivalry, and will not book persons who
 have appeared in opposition places. Ed J.
 Heffernan, the singer and parodist, and a
 remarkably good quartette, composed oi
 James Bradley, Ii. Fairbanks, Ernest Wilson and Charles Garnsey, are among the many other speciality features which go to make "The Hustler" great success. ''rhe Hustler'' will be at O'Brien' s Wednesday night.

THE COMBINE
Tn Perry and Hale Will Not Support
 Aldrich If He Is Nominated.

Dr. G. B. Grove of Perry is in the city, and from what could be gathered yester- day by an AGE- HERALD reporter he may be a candidate before the Jeffersonian con- vention for congress.
 In an interview with an AGE HERALD re- porter last night he said: CT have had overtures from all of the counties in this district, and may be candidate before the convention under certain crcum- stances. However, I have not fully de- cided upon this yet If go before the convention 1 will support the nom inee, provided he has been active in the two last campaigns. I do not think the people in my section of the district will support any candidate who has not been fully identified and actively engaged in this movement" 1"
 Dr. Grove was a member of the re- nowned opera house convention and has figured conspicuously in politics here of late.
 The statement made by Dr. Grove mean 8 simply that if the combine nominates MT. T. H. Aldrich for congress the lower end of the district will not support him. There seems to be a general impression that large part of the combine is fighting Aldrich.

Is the Report From the Flooded Dis trict of Texas-Great LOSS of
 Life and Property.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. LA special telegram from San Antonio, Tex, to the Post Dis patch says that the scene of destruction and desolation in the flooded district for a distance of 1O0 miles east and west from here aud extending south from the South ern Pacific railroad to the Rio Grande, 200 miles away, is simply terrible. Thousands upon thousands of acres of pasture and farm land is under water. It is estimated Eat the damage to crops in Lenoa valley will reach $500, ,000, while in the valleys of the Saco and Sabine rivers the losses will be fully as much as that. Many thousands of cattle, horses and sheep were swept away.
 Up to last night all telegrams received here by Southern Pacific railroad officials and for the press came by the round about way of Ei Paso, Pueblo end Kansas City, all direct communication with Uvalde aud other flooded towns being cut of.
 Reports received thie morning are more alarming than the earlier ones: It is still a matter of uncertainty as to the number of lives lost, but additions to the list of drowned are constantly coming in. About one half of the houses of Uvalde, town of 2300 people, were carried away and there is much suffering there, but no more fatal- ities are reported there.
 Nothing has yet been heard from the set. clement of sevehty-five families several miles below Uvalde, but there are still grave fears that many, if not all of them were swept away by the torrents.
 The town of Batesville was entirely innn- dated, and there was heavy loss of prop erty, but DO lives are reported lost. There are several towns in the flooded district, but they are away from railroad and tele- graphic reach.
 All of the construction forces of the Southern Pacific, however, have gone to lhe scene ot the principal disaster, and sev- eral train loads of material and men have gone west to repair the damage to the tracks and to reconstruct bridges.

ON THE TURF.
sHEEpsHEAD BAY RESULTS.

SHEEpsHEAD BAY, N. Y, Sept. H. The chief feature of today's racing at Sheepshead Bay was the disqualification of Dobbins in the Ocean handicap, and the decision of the judges met with general ap-i proval. The horses ran as if blanketed until the turn in the stretch, when Smms took Dobbins to the outside and then be- gan his drive. One after the other he bumped the horses out of his way and when the last furlong pole was reached he had Roche and Faraday to beat. He bore in against Roche, who in turn drove Fara- day against the rail and the gray had to give it up or go over the fence: He took a bitter revenge of Roche, for he gave that colt savage bite to pay for the crowding. Then Dobbins continued in his course and by crowding Roche so hard that he was driven over the fence, won by a neck. He was set back, however, amid the applause of the crowd.
