FRIENDS OF SILVER.


Opens In London.
A very important gath' r:ng OF silver men
occurred at London on the end. 1t was the
International bi-metalIc conference called by
leading English bI-metallists. The sessions
were held at the mansion house upon invita-
tion Of the lord mayor, e1-Lord Mayor Evans
presiding.
There were about 400 delegates present al
being Brooks Adams OF Boston. Massa
cnusetts; MIR. Nanderberg, president OF the
Bank OF the Netherlands, of Amster dam;
Henri Gerluschi of Paris, president of the
French Bi-Metallic League; David Murray,
president of the south Australian Bi-Metal!c
League; Thomas Salt, late president OF the
Bankers Institute; Sir Malcolm Frazer,
agent general in London .or Western Aus
tralia; the Rt-Hon. W. Lidderdale, er-gov-
ernor OF the Bank OF England, and number
| Of prominent foreign and British financiers,
As well as many members Of Parliament.
Tho object OF the BI-Metalllc league Is 10
urge upon the British government the neces-
sity of cooperation with the other leading
nations for the establishment OF the free coin
age OF gold and silv r at fixed ratio. Among
the letters OF regret was one from Archbishop
Walsh Of Dublin.
The governor OF the Bank OF France, NJ
Magnin, also sent a letter applauding the
aims of the conference and saying: The sill
yer question imposes itself more every day
upon iinanciers The whole world requires
its solution in It's general Interest. Ii IS .ntl-
mntely bound up In the commercial and in

DR.. Arendat, u member OF the PrassIau
Diet declared that bimetallism was making
| progress In Germany, aud he thought that If
| An international conference was had 1t would
have very different results from the Brussels
| conference.
The feature Of the conference was the
| speech of Mr.. BAliour. He said that many
who were suspicious Of the double standard

OF great impending dangers, that the best

the action OF the United States had forced the
Indian and British governments into the sys-
TEN now prevailing, adding: ave ough, to

the world for bimetallc joint standard.
The solution of the problem is easier than 1t

China has at least one complete
railway. 1t is short line connecting
Tien tsin with Shan-hai-kwan. town
in the eastern part Of the great Chi
nese wall. where the latter runs
down to the gulf OF Liau-tung. There
is certain anachronism in the as
scciation of the ..iron horse" SO en-
blematic of our modern celebrity Of
communication, with the Chinese
wall, which stands as the personifi-
cation OF obstruction to free inter-
course. However. this new Chinese
railroad is itself an anomaly; it is
not intended for traffic. 1t will carry
neither merchandise nor passengers.
Having been built simply for strate-
gic purposes, it will be strictly con-
fined to military uses. The sedan
chair will continue to be the vehicle
for overland journeys in China, and
freight will still be carried slung to
poles borne on the shoulders of mus
cular Chinese porters.

On entering an EnglIshman's house the
first thing one notices is how well his house
is adapted 10 him. On entering an Ameri-
cans house the first thing one notices is how
well he adapts himself to his house. In Eng
land the establishment is carried on with a
prime view to the comfort of the man. In
America the establishment Is carried on with
prime view TO the comfort of the woman.
Men are more selfish than women, conse-
auently the English home Is as n rule more
comfortable than the American home.
An Englishman is continually going home,
an American is continually going TO bus-
ness. One is forever planning and scheming
to get home, and TO stay at home. and TO en-
JOY the privileges Of home; while the other is
more apt to devote his energies TO make his
business a place to go to and 10 which to
spend himself. These minor details Of do
mestic life put their impress upon larger
matters OF business and politics.-Pri- Col

ESCAPED WITH HIS LIFE.

The Burglar Secured No Booty, but Was
Not Inclined to Complain.
Lightly the burglar moved from
room to room through the house,
whose inmates, wrapped in the bliss
full sleep that comes to the weary
breast after an evening spent at an
amateur concert, heard not his feath-
cry football. Borne to his quickened
senses from the sleeping chambers
came the sound Of deep, regular
breathing that seemed mechanically
to mark the flight OF time as it moved
on sluggish wing toward the great
beyond, says the Chicago Tribune.
Passing noiselessly into a large
apartment he turned his dark lantern
about until its pale rays fell upon a
rich dressing-case on whose polished
marble top were scattered in careless
profusion the jewelry and other per-
sonal adornments OF some strangely
neglectful wearer.
His hand closed eagerly on the
costly trinkets and he was on the
point of transferring them to the ca
pacious pocket Of his overcoat, when
one of the slum berers moved un-
easily and in muffied voice made
the remark:

rupt me I'll give you the facts about
this whole tariff business from begin.
ming to end"
The jewelry fell from the nerveless
grasp of the burglar. Gasping for
breath, he staggered to the nearest
window, jumped blindly through it,
carrying the sash with him, and fell
upon the sloping roof of the kitchen,
from which be rolled to the top OF
the coal shed and thence to the
ground, alighting In snowbank; and
without stopping to pick up his hat
or his lantern he dashed with breath
less haste away from the premises
and vanished in the darkness. He
had secured no booty, but he had es.
capped horror worse than death.
