Bicycles to Become Cheaper.

Something of startling nature is
about to drop in wheel land. The
increase in salesrooms, acadamies
and cranks, which is apparent to the
most casual observer, has naturally
caused more or less tall, concerning
the profits to manufacturers and
agents. Lots Of people who have
been pIanking down coin of the
realm to tune of 800 for an article
that could be proftably sold for
great deal less than half that sum,
will no doubt be panied to learn
that this time next year, according
to gentleman who knows, machines
of standard make will be retailing
in this market for $50. The busin-
ess man engineering this revolution
is at present in town. He is author
ity for the statement that in April,
1896, a well known business firm
will have on hand ready for the
trade and the cranks 100000 bicy-
cles, which will be sold for $50
apiece. He would not 90 into de
tails, further than to assure that this
statement would be verified as soon
as the combine now being formed to
break prices is completed. What
the big monopolies, now virtually in
control, will do in the meantime, re
mains to be seen. At any rate, it
seems safe to conclude that bikes
will cventually become as cheap as
baby carriages and pampered bow
vows. New York World.

propositions to be advocated by the
silver democrats:
First, Repeal the tax on state
bank circulation; second, Admit
silver to coinage at an equality with
gold at tthe ratio of Is to one; third,
Retire all greenbacks and coin GER

banks to surrender their charters

fifth, Take the government entirely

is necessary to issue bonds they
should be of small denominations in
order that our people can invest their
savings in them.

Vast Bed of Alumina Plaster.

Martin Strasburg broughtto Great
Falls Monday carload of alumina
wall plaster. This new substance
which has been discovered about
seven miles from Monarch, has the
appearance of lime when in a crude
state. 1t is made up of docomposcd
gypsum, dccomposed limestone, sill
ca and aluminium. 1t is certainly AN
excellent article and can be furnish
ed as cheap as the best plaster in the
market. In using it no lime or hair
is necessary. When it becomes dry
it is as hard as steel and has a smooth
surface which will not crack. There
are about POO acres of this sub
stance near Monarch. and in time
another great industry will be de-
veloped in Cascade county because
of its discovery.

Ohio Democrats for Silver.

The returns from county conven-
tions in Ohio indicate an unexpected
victory for free silver. Some county
conventions adopted resolutions con
demning senator Brce's financial
views. Some counties that selected
free silver delegates endorsed Brice
and nearly all endorsed James E.
Campbell for governor. The silver
men claim they will control the con
vention.

then continued work on the Eureka.
The surface for ten feet showed IA
twenty to twenty five foot vein of
beautiful free milling ore. \ shaft
was sunk on the vein and two tun-
nels were started. The shaft is now
sixty-fve feet deep and $50 feet
of tunnel has been made. The work
being done contemplated the tapp-
ing of the shaft at 100 and 80 foot
levels.
As work on the shaft went on reg
ular samples were taken every few
feet, assayed and reports made to
DAILY, no one else knew much about
it as the public vas refused admis-
sion. But it leaked out that the ore
was getting lower and more base. 1t
contained more iron and sui phur and
the free milling therefore disap-
peared.
About ten days ago Superinten-
don't Mckay went to Anaconda with
report that showed the average
samples of the Eureka to be about
81 to the ton. 1t was a big drop
from the excessively rich ore show
on the surface.
When Superintendent Mckay re-
turned he stopped all work and threw
up the bond. The $4,000 due today
was not paid but instead the force OF
miners was paid off and the original
owners resumed charge Of the pro
perty. Mckay gave as a reason fol

MRS, DODGE'S LITIGATION
The Supreme Court Decision
Was Not on the Merits of
the Case.
ANOTHER SIDE OF THE STORY
The Claim Made That George w.
Dyer, a Brother, Was In Fact
the Trustee.

There is another side to the story of Mrs.
Josephine II. Dodge's lawsuit. Attorney
Leggett, who has been the widows counsel
i'll the suit brought by George G. Whitney
and Minnie A. Durgin, infants, by their
guardian, James P. Sweeney, says the case
could have had no influence in causing the
dependency which resulted in the some
what sensational attempt of Mrs. Dodge
and her son to commit suicide last Wednes-
day night at their home in San Rafael.
And this would seem to be the more cor
rect view of the case, for it is evident that
Mrs. Dodge has not possession OF the
So, 900 she sued for, and Mr.. Leggett says
she never did have the money.
When James Dyer, her father. died. he
named Mrs, Dodge as trustee for the S12,-
600 he left to the heirs that are now suing.
But Mrs. Dodge's brother, George w.
Dyer, an attorney, took charge of these
funds, and upon his death some years ago
his executors made settlement with the
guardians of the heirs named in the
present litigation. This, at least, is the
sworn statement of Mrs. Dodge.
When the suit was first entered against
Mrs. Dodge Attorney Leggett adopted the
shortest way out OF the matter-or what
seemed the shortest way then-by entering
demurrer to the complaint. In his de-
murrer he claimed not only that Mrs.
Dodge did not act as the trustee and had
never the control of the sum named, but
that the facts cited in the complaint did
not constitute cause for action against
her.
So astute and discerning jurist as
Judge Wallace sustained Mrs. Dodge's de-
murrer and ruled the case out of court.
Now it appears, however, that the Su-
preme Court has overruled Judge Wal
lace's decision, and the case will probably
be tried. But in its decision the Supreme
Court made no ruling concerning the
merits of the case and stated as much in
its ruling.
1t is true that Mrs. Dodge comes from a
well-to-do family in Maine, and that she
inherited some property upon the death of
her father. Unfortunate speculations, how
ever, have long since impoverished her,
there was probably reason enough-added
to the demented condition of her son-to
account for the rash act of last week.

pie are becoming more dependent on the
few for their living, and to be thus depend
ent is to be half slave. A right adjust
ment of these relations is then the great
question of the day."
DR.. Condit spoke of the futile attempts
to remedy these evils, and said that mo
external plasters can cure sores which
have their root in internal disease. So

the hour is more of the divine spirit of
God dwelling in the hearts of men, and a
mightier demonstration of his power in
the church and in the world
In the discussion which followed DR..
Robert T. Coyle stated that he had no fear
of staggering infidelity. The greatest
danger lies in the fact that so many within
the church are not firm and constant in
their beliefs. "There is tincture of this
and touch of that in religion. People
try to be broad. There should be little
garden patch, well watered and tended.
The Presbyterian convention has been
called for this week in order that the
people might come in touch with God.
There is chaos of religion in California.
Over in Oakland we have little of almost
every ism, and what is left is labeled ortho-
doxy Christians should try to get away
from the cloudiand of religion"

Behrend Joost Files Another Petition
for Road to the New
Racetrack

Behrend Joost and his friends in the
electrie-railroad business don't consider
themselves out of the fight for the passen-
ger traffic of the new racetrack by any
means. They have just filed another Pc
tition with the Board of Supervisors for a
supplementary franchise to construct q
double-tr track railroad along the following
named thoroughfares: Commencing at and
connecting with the tracks of the San
Francisco and San Mateo Railway Com
pany at the junction of Stanyan and Sulli-
van or streets, thence along street to
Ninth avenue, thence southerly along
Ninth and upon that thoroughfare to San
Miguel rancho.
Notwithstanding the leaning of the Solid
Eight toward granting franchise to the
Market-street Railway Company Joost and
his friends believe they have still good
chance to capture the plum. At any rate
they propose to take advantage of every
move that will likely give it to them, and
the present petition is one of them They
believe that the recent suit against the
Solid Eight by the Civic Federation had
an adm onitory effect, and that there may
now be better chance of getting fair play.
This matter of the different railroad
franchises to the new racetrack will be
taken up by the Supervisors next week.

Father Waugh's Birthday


Every one who attends the Methodist
preachers meeting receives kindly smile
and warm handclasp from Father Waugh.
He is white-haired but active octogena-
ian whose zeal in religious matters has in
creased rather than abated with the ap-
proach of the last of Shakespeares ages.
He IS generally beloved because of the
childish simplicity of his manners, the IN
wavering character of his faith, and his
remarkable geniality.
A scholarly essay was read by promi-
nent Methodist divine yesterday, and a
learned discussion followed, but it is doubt
full whether there was the same warm in
terest IN their words that was manifested
IN Father Waugh's acrostic, which he
volunteered to read, and in which it was
evident he felt some commendable pride.
He will celebrate the close of his eighty
seventh year on Thursday, and in prepa-
ration for that event has written an acros-
tic poem. 1t has as many lines as are

A Marine Problem Solved.

To the Editor of The CdIt-DEAR SIR: In your
issue of recent date observe in eastern Edi-
torial Comments statement that winds are
damper and hence heavier on a yachts stabil-
ity in English waters than American weather
off New York. This idea has been much COM
mented upon here and abroad and yet the
main reason never mentioned. Being a prac-
teal seaman, as well as yachtsman of expe-
renee, can state from personal knowledge
that the main effect of dampness in the air is
to close up the meshes of the canvas, hence
the sails hold. the wind more perfectly and
thus increase the apparent force Respectfully,
