THE WILL FOUND.

Bequests OF an Eccentric Baltimore Lady.
Wouldn't Sleep in Bed for Fear of Bur
glars.
Baltimore, Nd, May 24.-Mrs. Eliza
J. Bowen Gray, wealthy and respect
ed widow Of this city, died in January.
At the time of her death no will could
be found. To-day, John J. Donaldson,
of 220 st. Paul street, reported the
missing document. The Church Home
and Infrmary, an EpiscOpalian insti-
tuition, will receive $4,000. Mrs. Gray
lived alone except cOlored man, Jo-
seph Smith, a wedding present from
her father, in slave days Being afraid
of robbers, Mrs Gray slept on a row Of
chairs, reasoning that burglars upon
entering the house would first proceed
to the bed room. The funeral was
held on Sunday afternoon, January 26.
After her funeral, her nephews and
nieces returned to the house and began
to search for her wealth. They found
S625 in gold, S12 in silver and a water
bond for $1,000. The next day they
found 1855 more in gold. She had the
money concealed in a satchel. The
colored servant, Smith. recently OBJ
tained a verdict against the estate for
81, 600 for services rendered.

due to the silver producers VIII

; due to the silver producers who.
= laining that their interests are
gushing, claim it to be the duty OF
Ie government to afford market for
all their silver; coin it free of charge
into dollars containing less than one
dollars worth of metal, with full legal
tender properties. If there be doubt as
TO the truth of this charge, it will be
found that from the day in 1877 when
Senator Jones, of Nevada, made his
famous financial report, until the pres
ent moment the power behind this
agitation OF silver legislation has been
the silver producing class. These men
have through sheer persistency, sue
ceeded in making it factor in party
politics. Enact such legislation, and
the mine owner alone will profit by it.
The debtor may scale his debts but it
will be at the expense Of his honor;
while the patriotic American will see
his governments circulating medium
patterned after that of the Mongolian.
Objectionable as class legislation, it
is equally Objectionable, as it will set
at naught the Democratic principle
that legislation should conform to and
aid the natural and fixed laws of COM
merce and trade, rather than conflict
with and retard them in their opera
tions.
This proposed silver legislation de-
signs to give us a dollar which, as
matter of fact, is not worth a dollar.
Upon the very face Of it, it is a cheat,
and the government ought not to be,
from the standpoint of either sound
law or good morals, party to a fraud.
1t is in violation Of the rights Of every
creditor and an encouragement to
wrong doing in every debtor. Such
money would be a reproach to the
American people. If there be any
Democrat advocating such a currency
and at the same time cherishing as his
political idol Thomas Jefferson, let him
read and reflect upon these words trans
lated by Jefferson from a French manu-
script. and sent to John Adams with
his hearty endorsement: 1T is to be
desired that coins had never borne
other names than those of their weight,
and that the arbitrary denominations
called moneys of account, as pounds,
shillings. pence, and so forth, had never
been used. But when these denomina-
tions are admitted and employed in
transactions to diminish the quantity
of the metal to which they answer, by
an alteration Of the real coins is to
steal and it is a theft that even Injuries
him who commits it.

Memphis, Tenn, May 24-Memphis
is the storm centre of the South just
now in the agitation Of the all-absorb-
ing currency question. Close on the
heels of yesterdays sound money con-
vention at the Auditorium, at which
the economic views of the Secretary OF
the National Treasury we're expound-
ed to q large gathering of men from all
parts of the South, who are opposed to
The free coinage OF silver at the ratio
of Is to 1, comes a rOUsing meeting to-
night Of an equally numerous class,
whose slogan is honest money and
whose guest of honor was the eloquent
young Nebraskan, w. J. Bryan, who
consented to reply to the speech OF
Secretary Carlisle at meeting held at
the Grand Opera House tonight.
Mr.. Bryan's speech was in substance
as follows:
q have read the speech delivered by
Mr.. Carlisle in this city on yesterday,
also that delivered by him at Coving-
ton. Ky. last Monday evening, and 1
have compared them with the speech
delivered by him on the 21st Of Febru-
ary. 1873, in the House Of Representa-
tives. and 1 am reminded of the Ian
guage used by David in lamenting the
death of Saul: How are the mighty
fallen
"Mr. Carlisle in 1873 said The
struggle now going on cannot cease
and ought not to cease until all the in
dustrial interests of the country are
fairly and finally emancipated from the
heartless domination of the syndicates,
stock exchanges and other great com
binations of money grabbers in this
country and Europe
Now Mr.. Carlisle is the honored
guest at a convention attended by
bankers and fnanciers who are opposed
to the use of silver as the standard
money"
Mr.. Bryan discussed various phases
Of the money qestion, quoting frequent
ly from Secretary Carlisle, and ans
wered his arguments by arguments for
merly made by Secretary Carlisle or by
statistics.

DECENCY.
Oscar Wilde Declares Under Oath
He Knows What 1t Means, Much
to the Surprise Of those in Court
Tho Case Not Yet Concluded.

London, May 24.-There was the
usual crowd of people in the Old Bailey
Court room to-day when Sir Edward
Clarke addressed the Jury In behalf OF
his client, Oscar Wilde, who is charged
with serious misdemeanors. Among
those present was Lord Douglas Of
Hawick, the eldest son Of the Marquis
of Queensberry.
Sir Edward Clarke, at the commence
ment OF his speech complained OF the
tratment to which Wilde had been
subjected. and said that the defense
might we'll be excused for not putting
the defendant In the witness box again,
broken and unfit for the ordeal, as he
now is"
But. continued Sir Edward, the de-
fense had resolved to do so.
Shortly afterward Wilde was called
to the witness box and was provided
with a chair, as he seemed to be utter
" broken down. Wilde, in answer to
the questions put to him, related how
he had been on terms of intimacy with
the Marquis of Queensberry's family
for years, and entirely denied the
charges made against him.
Sir Frank Lockwood, the Solicitor
General, at the conclusion of the ad-
dress of Sir Edward Clarke, began a
severe cross-eXamination Of the defend
ant which lasted over an hour. The
accused said that Lord Alfred Douglas
was now in Paris, where he went three
weeks ago at his request. Wilde, 1t
! appeared, was in constant communica-
tiOn with Lord Alfred.
Then Wilde was asked about the fa-
nous letters which he had written to
Lord Alfred Douglas and which were
read at the first trial, the defendant
said it was a beautiful way in which an
artist would write to a cultured young
| man.
TAKING UP THE LETTER
which Wilde had written to Lord Al
fred praising his red rose-leaf lips
asd "slim gilt soul" that walked be-
tween poetry and passion" Sir Frank
asked the defendant whether he con-
sidered this letter to be decent Wilde
replied, "Decency does not come into
the question"
do you understand the meaning Of
the word?" asked counsel sternly.
yes" replied Wilde.
Sir Frank Lockwood then closely ex-
amined the defendant regarding his re-
lation with Lord Alfred Douglas, as to
how it came to pass that they occupied
adjoining rooms, etc. Wilde admitted
that he had made repeated visits to
the rooms of Alfred Taylor, where he
met a number of young men.
Wilde also admitted his intimacy
with other young men whose names
were mentioned during the previous
trial.
Sir Edward Clarke briefly re-eXam-
ined Wilde and then made his final adj
dress to the jury, asking them to save
the defendant from the ruin Of his rep'
utation which, he added, had been
nearly quenched by the torrent Of pre-
judice in the press. (Applause)
Sir Frank Lockwood followed for the
prosecution; but he had barely begun
his address when court was adjourned
for the day.
Paris, May 24-The Temps to-day

Dougles. dated Rouen, expressing re-
gret at the fact that 1t was his brother,
