Lexington, KY, Oct. ga sensation
was caused in social circles here when
Ii became known hat the handsome
Miss Helene Sellers, IL years old, had
refused to marry her affianced, G.. Fran
els Miller, the 2~2-year-old son of a
wealthy turpentine factor of Lambert,
Ga. He arrived here Tuesday, the we'd
ding having been set for Wednesday.
He stopped at a leading hotel and called
on his promised bride at her home on
Ashland avenue. He met a chilling re-
ception, she telling him that she had
ceased to love him. and, although her
rousseau had been made, and every
thing was In readiness for the ceremony
to be performed, she declared she could
never marry him. She frankly told him
that she loved NJ. H.. Davis, bookkeeper
for the Kentucky Steam Laundry, this
;lty.
Miller was nearly distracted, and i'm
plored Helene's relatives to persuade
her TO allow the ceremony to be per-
formed. They tried, but Helene would
not listen to them, and refused to speak
TO them or him Miller had his trunk
removed from the hotel to the SELLERS
residence, and says he will stay there
till his promised bride agrees to marry
him. When seen at his place OF bust
ness, Davis admitted that he had kept
company with Miss Sellers. but said he
did not desire to marry her. Davis met
her yesterday at Gratz park and took a
long walk with her.

SILVER COINAGE SUSPENDED
Only Subsidiary silver Money After
November I.

Washington, Oct. 23.-All silver DIN
age, except that Of subsidiary silver. has
been ordered suspended after November
! next by Secretary Carlisle.
In carrying out this policy the New
Orleans mint will be practically closed
and dismantled after that date. Secre-
fary Carlisle for some time has been
considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF stopping
all silver coinage except hat of subsid-
larry coin, n since he has been the head
OF the treasury department only 4.3S2.-
324 standard silver dollars have been
minted. Since July ] last only 30 stan
dard silver dollars have been coined.
The coinage of standard silver dollars
during the past few years has teen as
follows: In 1895. 1886. oil; in 1894. 1858;
in 1893, s., 343, 900; in 1892, IS, 1923. 900 In 1891,
$27. 000, 900. The total coinage Of silver
the act amounts TO S423, 2S9, 309.
The treasury now holds of silver bullion
purchased under the Sherman act, 49,
GA, 600 fine ounces, the cost OF which was
N24, 0So, 1923, the coming value of his
bullion In silver dollars Is sl77. 1854 900.
II this bullion were coined into silver
dollars. the profit to the government on
Its coinage oul be nearly s5i, 900, 900,
which sum could be paid out for the or
binary expenses of the government or
against which silver certificates could
be issued. Under the act OF 1873 the
treasury holds OF bullion purchased
SECS. 459 in value. The practical effect OF
the action taken by Secretary Carlisle
is TO convert all the silver bullion held
by the government into gold obligations
under the parity clause of the Sherman
act. Secretary Window. in 1891 con-
strued the law to mean that all Sherman
notes issued against the bullion were re-
law was concurred in by his successors,
Secretaries Foster and Carlisle. and has
been in practical operation during the
past six years. Under it SIG, l93, 522 have
been redeemed. The coinage Of silver
bullion into standard silver certificates,
however. are issued against the stan
dard silver dollars and are redeemable
only In silver. Thus from the same
base. the silver bullion. the Sherman
notes become gold obligations and tho
silver coined into standard dollars,
therefore, leaves the bullion silver free
from any further liability OF conversion
into silver obligations.
The closing up Of the New Orleans
mint leaves only the United States
minis at .llladelph!a and San Francis
co in operation. At these minis only
gold and subsidiary silver will hereafter
be coined. unless congress should direct
10 the contrary and its action should be
approved by the president.

CLEVELAND At ATLANTA
The President Points Out the
Causes of Prosperity.
Attributes the Prosperity Of the People

Government Under WHOA
They Lave.

Atlanta. Oct. 23.-President Cleveland
was the attraction at the exposition TO-
day, 90, 900 people being present to greet
him. At 1880 he reviewed the parade
and at noon addressed the crowd from
the reviewing stand.
The president spoke as follows:
Mr.. President: On my own behalf and
for my c~o-laborers In the executive
branch of our government who have &C
companied me, / thank you fol- your
kind words of greeting. We are here TO
congratulate you and your associates
upon the splendid success OF the expo
sition you nave set upon foot n upon
evidence you have here gathered ch.efy
illustrative OF southern enterprises.
southern industry and southern recupe-
ration, but we are also here to claim a
share in the pride of your achievements
The success which has attended TINS ex-
position Of products and manufactures
is not altogether due to the quality or
soil or character Of the people In any or
the contributing states, but II rests
largely upon the fact that these states
are members OF a beneficently governed
nation. whose natural resources n al
vantages everywhere have been devei-
oped and improved by the influence or
free institutions. A contemplation or
the blessings vouchsafed TO us by our
government easily reminds us of the inn
portance OF a hearty cooperation IN It's
support and protection. We should lov-
fngly watch and guard 1t, not only be-
cause we are recipients OF its precious
gifts, but for its own sake, and a
II has been put in our hands in sacred
keeping to prove to the world that man
can be trusted with self government.
we shall walk in the path OF patriotic
duty, II remembering that our free an
situations were established TO promote
the general welfare, We strive for those
things which benefit people; and IL
each Of us Is content to receive from a
common fund his share OF the prosper
tty thus contributed. We shall sadly miss
our duty and forfeit our heritage, IL, in
narrow s~elfishness we are needless OF
the general welfare and struggle to
wrest from the government private ad-
vantages which can only be gained at
the expense OF our fellow countrymen.
l hope / may, therefore. be permitted l n
conclusion, to suggest, as a most impor-
tant lesson taught by this occasion, the
absolute necessity to our national health
and welfare and consequently 20 our in
div!dual happiness as citizens. Of a care
full discrimination IN our support OF poll
cies and In our advocacy of political doc.
trines between those which simply seem
to serve selfish or sectional interests
and those which are for the good OF the
whole people, IL we are 10 enjoy the
blessings u government was framed
TO fairly and justly bestow. We shall
secure them in due time by ~cultivating
q spirit of broad American brotherhood
and insisting upon such conduct as will.
within the spirit OF the golden rule, pro-
mote the general welfare.
