think one reason for people being so
much interested in this work is because
they know that the boys have received

that it is a most vital question wv hat be-

needy and homeless or no.

ANOTHER SENSATION STRANGLED.
The Report That the Syndicate Is Paying a
 Premium for Gold Bars.

New York, Aug 16.-Speaking of the sensational reports that the bond syndi
 cate is paying a small premium for gold bars, an authority stated: '"The facts which have been known to practi- cally every banker in the street, are that ever since the syndicate was formed it's members have endeavored to secure for the treasury the bulk of the output of the gold mines in this country, but they have in no case paid direct premium for bars. They have, as is customary in bullion business, paid the expenses of transferring gold from the smelters to the government assay offices; in some cases divided the expenses with the sell CTS of the bullion and in others paid the usual brokerage to bullion dealers for se- curing gold bars It is said that in this way the syndicate acquired over $3,000,- 900 worth of gold bars al no greater cost than the usual difference in value be- tween bullion and coin. The greater part of these accommodations have been rep resented by assay office checks given in payment for the bars. There are now being turned into the sub-treasury, and as they are payable in gold coin and the syndicate accepts legal tender in place of coin, the treasury's gold balance is in- creased by the amount of checks"

x adsden, Aug. 16. = Especially = Jim a~iornton shot and it is thought killed Dolphus Coats and fatally wounded the latter's mother early this morning at Coats Bend, Etowah county about eigh- teen miles above the city.
 Coats and his mother were walking in the middle of the road when Thornton, who was concealed behind tree, stepped out and fired at Coats Coats fell and when on the point of rising Thornton fired the second time, but the shot struck the woman. The first shot struck Coats in the head, producing what will prove a fatal wound.
 The womans wounds may prove fatal also. The two families had been quar- reling for some time and the male mem bers have had several difficulties before. Thornton claims that Coats had defamed the name of his wife, and that the matter had come to such a point that some one had to be killed. He knew that the Coats would pass a certain place early in the morning and he concealed himself near and with a double barreled shotgun fired upon his enemy and fatally wound ed him and an old woman It was not his intention to shoot the woman, so he says, but in firing the second shot she stepped in the way Thornton skipped out and is still at large

BUTLER'S MANIFESTO.
He Calls Upon the Patriots of Every Party to Fight the English Gold
 Curse"

Raleigh, N. C., Aug. 16.-Senator Mar ion Butler, member of the national com mittee of the Memphis silver convention, will tomorrow issue an address to the voters of North Carolina saying that whereas the Memphis convention, com posed of representative men of all par ties who oppose the schemes of the sim gle gold standard men, passed a resolu- ton that a committee be appointed to correspond with representatives and ad- vocates of the bimetallism and bimetal- lie societies in different sections of the union and devise measures to advance the cause of bimetallism throughout the United States therefore the committee passed resolutions instructing the mem Der from each state to at once organize honest money clubs"
 Senator Butler says: q now call for the organization of the honest money clubs in every county of North Carolina. The scheme of the gold monometallists is:
 "1. To prevent any further coinage of silver into legal tender dollars at the ratio of 16 to 1 and to bring the country to an absolute gold basis.
 "2 To have the silver dollars already coined robbed of their legal power so as to be only taken as moiey to be redeemed in gold.
 .3. To destroy all silver certificates, treasury notes and greenbacks and to issue and fasten upon the country gold interest bearing bonds to the amount of money and currency thus destroyed. The coin bonds of the government already issued will then be made payable in gold only.
 A. To increase the power of national banks by turning over to their manage ment the entire issue of paper to be re- deemed in gold
 eff the above infamous scheme sue ceeds the hard times we now have Will be made twice as hard, and the liberty and prosperity of the American people will be forever sealed.
 "The object of the clubs will be to bring together all men opposed to this diabol- ical English plot, and who will fight not only to the bitter end to prevent it's cons,mmation, but to restore and main- tain an honest financial system
 "The time has come when 1t is the duty of every patriot, of every party to come together and fight the English gold curse with the same unity, zeal and determination that our forefathers fought and drove British bayonets from American soil. I recommend that a state convention of clubs be called as soon as a sufficient number are organized.

SHE MAY DAMN DURANl

San Francisco, Aug. 16.-The police have located a new witness in the Du- rant case. She is Mrs. Leak, a member of Emanuel church. She lives opposite the church and says she saw Durant and Blanche Lamont enter the building on the afternoon of April 30. If she tells the same story on the witness stand as she told the police it will complete the chain of evidence against against Du- rant. Mrs Leak was acquainted with both parties and says she could not be mistaken.
 Durant appeared to be little ner- vous before court opened this morning. but he was himself again after the ar rival of his attorneys, with whom he held A short consultation.

YELLOW FEVER AT SANTIAGO.
The Disease Seems to Be Spreading Those
 Negro CoIonists

Washington, Aug. 16.-Surgeon-Genera Wyman of the marine hospital service today received cablegram from Havana announcing the outbreak of yellow fever at Santiago. The disease is prevalent at many places in the island and seems to be increasing.
 General Wyman also had a report to- day from Eagle Pass, Tex, where the negro colonists returning from Mexico are quarantined, because of an outbreak of smallpox. To date 137 cases and thir- ty-one deaths have been reported. Most of the cases were mild in form and the percentage of deaths is not large, when it is remembered that these colonists had suffered great deprivations and were not physically in a condition to withstand the attack of the disease. All the colo nists have been vaccinated and have the best of food and medical attention, and it Is believed the disease has been checked, and that there is no danger of the conta- zion spreading,
