Gold, Says the PreSdent-The Dem
ocrats Should Not Drop Their
Sound Money Doctrine.

Jackson, Miss, May 3.-Governor
Stone this evening gave to the Associated
Press a letter addressed to him by Pres
ident Cleveland. The following is the
full text of the letter:
"EeXecutive Mansion, Washington, D.
c., April 24.-Hon. j. NJ. Stone, gov
ernor, etc: Dear Sir-Your letter of the
clined to find fault with your criticism,
but | think the matters you refer to
should be judged in the light of the cir
cumstanceS existing at the time the things
were done. | never had an idea of
building up or fostering a personal fol-
lowing, but so far as politics should
properly influence me in making appoint
ments, l have tried to be Democratic
and not prescriptive. L am glad you
are frank enough to admit your partic-
ipation in bringing about Il condition in
office holding which may not be all that
could be now desired. Whether those
appointed to place shall in policy and
action behave decently towards the ad-
ministration under which they hold office
must remain to large extent a matter
of taste and good breeding. There are,
however, some officials who devote them
selves so industriously to villification and
abuse of those under whom they hold
office, as to indicate that their fidelity
can not be trusted for the performance
of their duties in manner creditable to
the administration, and who apparently
assume that they may spend the time
they owe the public service in doing poit-
ical mischief. In the interest Of good
government Office holders must be not
surprised if they are summary dealt
with. When received your letter l
had just I lished reading letter of
yours in which you explain to the voters
of Mississippi; yolr views on the cur
rency al csljon. 1t seems to lre you
have in that letter contrib Ired in The
best possible style and in a most "aiLatle
way to the fund of argument IN favor
of sound money.
Il am moved to wonder why the people
of the South, furnishing so largely as they
do products which are exported for gOld
should be willing to submit to the disad-
vantages and loss of silver recommendation
and to content themselves with a depre-

ATLANTIC EXPOSITION.

Atlanta, Ga, May IA telegram re-
ceived this morning from Gen Isaac w.
Avery, commissioner for the exposition
now in Mexico City, states that President
Diaz has appointed from the department
of public works a commissioner to collect,
transport and install a display of re-
sources and products of Mexico at the
Cotton States and Internal exposition.
This matter has been hanging fire for a
long time and General Avery was sent as
a special commissioner to accomplish
this result. He has been remarkably sue
cessful, and the Mexican government has
entered into the matter with enthusiasm.
Hon. w. b. Hornblower of New York
has accepted the invitation of the Gerogia
Bar association to deliver the annual ad-
dress before that body, which will be held
here during the exposition.

A PAINLESS DENTIST

Fort Scott, Kan, May 3.-Mrs. DR..
Alberta Oberlin, the travelling dentist,
who is wanted at Hiattsvile for admins
tering poisonous compound to her
patients there, was arrested at Girard,
Kan. and brought here tonight. Her
preliminary trial will be held tomrrow
and County Attorney is confident that he
will be able to prove case against her.
The woman, who claims to represent a
st. Louis house and who is said to have
formerly operated in Chicago, claims that
her compound is entirely harmless, not
withstanding many of her patients in
Hiattsville are in critical condition,
while reports from several small sur
rounding towns where she has been oper-
ating are that she has left several victims
at each place. Excitement over the af-
fair at Hiattsvlle is still intense and
should any of her victims succumb it will
be hard to say what DR.. Oberlin's fate
will be.

ciated and huctuating currency while per-
mitting others to reap profit from the
transaction of the prices of their pro-
ductions from silver to gold.
Il hope this letter of yours will be
given the widest possible circulation, es-
Ipecially among our Southern fellow cit
izens, and that they will be permitted to
see the pitfall which is directly before
them who madly rush towards the phan-
tom light of free, unlimited and indie
pendent silver coinage.
eff we who profess fealty to the Demo
cratic party are sincere in our devotion
to its principles, and if we are right in
believing that the ascendancy of those
principles is guarantee of the personal
liberty, universal care for the rights of all,
non-sectional brotherhood and manly trust
in American citizenship in any part of our
lands, we should study the effects upon
our party and consequently upon our
country of a cOmmittal of the national
Democracy to this silver alteration.
eff there are Democrats that propose
that our party can stand upon platform
embOdying such doctrine, either through
ITS affirmative strength or through the
perpleXity of our opponents on the same
proposition, or if there are Democrats
who are willing to turn their backs upon
their party associates in the hope that
free ana unllmlteu anu independent COLI
age of silver can win a victory without
the aid of either party organization, they
should deceive themselves no longer and
refuse to look in the face the results that
will follow the defeat if not he dinintegra-
ton of the Democratic party upon the
issue which tempts them from--their ale
glance. If we should be forced away
from our traditional doctrine of sound and
safe money, our old antagonist will take
the field on the platform which we aban-
don; and neither the votes Of silver Demo
Gratis nor silver Republicans will avail to
stay their easy march to power. This is
as plain as anything can possibly be. 1t
therefore becomes the duty of every Dem
ocrat. whatever he may be, TO consider
what such a victory would mean; and in
the light of proper conception of its re-
suit he should deliberately shape his
course. Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND"

APPLICATION DENIED.
C. p. Huntington Will Not Be Removed
to California.

New York, May Judge Brown of
the United States circuit court handed
down his opinion today denying the ap-
plication of United States District Attor-
ney McFarlane for the removal of G. p.
Huntington to California under an in
dictment recently found against him for
violation of the interstate commerce act
in 1887 in issuing free pass to one Frank
NJ. Stone in California. The motion was
opposed by Coudert Bros and Maxwell Il.
Warts and Huntington's lawyers. Judge
Brown denies the application on the
ground that the Indictment is fatally de-
fective in not averring that any use was
ever made of the pass or that transporta-
ton was ever furnished upon it. A free
ticket or pass not used is not transporta-
ton, and is of no advantage to the holder
nor any prejudice or disadvantage to
others This precise point was adjudged
by the interstate commerce commission
in the cause of Griffe VS.. the Burlington
railroad.

recently put before the Academy of Medi

He began by experimenting on dogs and
found that when thy were plunged into a
bath at low temperature and were kept
there for some time they became ravenous-
" hungry. Being himself a sufferer from
stomach disease, he had forgotten what it
was to have an appetite So he descended
into the refrigerating tank at tempera-
ture many degrees below zero. He wrap
ped thick pelisse and other warm clothes
about him, but after four minutes he be-
gan to feel hungry. At the end of eight
minutes he climbed out Of the tank with
painfully keen appetite. Many such ex-
periments were made. All meals taken
after a short stay in the refrigerator agreed
with him. He found that his dyspepsia
was cured after the tenth descent.-Paris
