man who is making a speciality of "dyna-
mic religion" Jerry didn't occupy a pull
pit, by the way, as Mr.. Andrew Carnegie
did in New York some time ago, but
preached from the stage of a theater.
In the course of one of the sermons the
Kansan denied that he belonged to the
populist party, and said he wanted the
populist party TO belong to him, because
he had brains and ideas. which the party
lacked. He inveighed against strikes and
socialism; in doing which he gave evil
dence that his claim of having more
brains than the populist party is pretty
we'll founded. The salient feature of Jer-
rvs sermon was this a plagiarism from
Stead and Congressman-elect Clark: IF
Christ were TO come TO earth to-day, He
would be treated as vagrant, arrested
as tramp and put TO work on a rock
pile I guess that's why Christ don't
come to Baltimore"

The Hale Old Warrior Receives the
Plaudits and Congratulations
of the People.

BERLIN, Barch 25.-The celebration
of the 80th anniversary of the birth
of Prince Bismarck, which occurs
April LIST, may be said to have COM
menced today, as 392 members of the
reichstag and the Prussian diet start
ed during the day for Friedrichsruhe
to congratulate the ex-chancellor.
VISITING THE PRINCE.
Friedrichsruhe, March 25.-Three
special trains bearing nearly 100 mem
bers of the reichstag and the Prus-
sian diet arrived here today and pro-
ceeded to the castle, whence they
were received in a body by Prince
Bismarck. Herr Won Koeller, presi-
dent of the lower house of the Prus-
sian diet, congratulated Prince Bis
marck ON the approaching anniversary
of his birth. The prince thanked the
deputy for his kind wishes.
Bismarck, replying to the congratu-
lationS of members of the landtag, de-
clared that all the credit for political
results achieved he shared with those
cooperating with him and above all
with Emperor William I, with whom
he said he worked so long. Bismarck
was affected to tears during the reply,
crying bitterly. The deputation was
greatly aHeCIeQ.
PROPER CARE TAKEN.
Friedrichsruhe, March 25.-As the
SOth birthday of Prince Bismarck
draws near, his physician is becoming
more solicitious of the old chancellor's s
health. A number of newspaper cor
respondents besieged the entrance of
the castle today, but were refused ad-
mittance under the instruction of Bis
marck's physician, who is anxious to
store the strength Of his illustrious
patient for the many birthday cere-
monies he will have. The emperor's s
visit to Bismarck will assume spec
ial military character.
WON'T BE PUNISHED.
Berlin, March 25.-The National Zei
tung is informed semi officially that

Provisions of Will Violated and the
Possible Consequences.

Oakland, Cal, March 25.-When DIR.
Samuel Merritt died he left a So, ,5OO,-
600 estate to his sister, Mrs. Garcelon
When Mrs Garceaon died she left a
will providing for 4 trust fund OF
100000 the income of which was to
be paid b. DIR. Merritt's nephews,
James and Fred Merritt One of the
conditions of the trust is that should
either of tue brothers ever contest her
will, question the wisdom of amy of its
provisions, or doubt Its gepuineness,
both shall lose every right sand title
to the TRUST, the innocent brother suf-
fering alike with the guilty ONE. The
trust property then reverts to the res
iduary legatees Of Mrs :Garcelon.
Nevertheless, James Merritt did con-
test the will and was beaten in the
superior court. He appealed and the
supreme court upheld the lower court
Now, the attorney OF the estate an
nouneas that he will notify Capt. j. N.
Knowles. custodian of the trust to
cease paying allowances Ito both the
Merritt brothers. Capt Knowles is in
doubt what to do and the matter will
be tested in the courts.

American Securities Are UnfavOrably
Scrutinized AbrOad-LOndOn the
Worlds Clearing House.

ST. PAUL, March 25.-President J.
]. Hill of the Great Northern railway,
well known as an able financier, has
just reached home after an extended
visit in Europe and the Eastern states.
His statements are of general interest.
He said:
81 found there was great depress-
ion in some Of the countries of Eu-
rope, particularly in Great Britain,
and more especially in the cotton and
iron industries. The United States is
England's best customer and our i'm
ports have been largely reduced to the
advantage of this country and to the
corresponding disadvantage of Great
Britain. English manufacturers and
landlords owning agricultural lands
are taking a very active interest in
bimetallism and the greater use of sill
yer. They are realizing fully that
Argentine, Australia, the East Indies,
China, and Japan, who are on a sill
yer basis, forcing their labor to accept
in payment the silver which they buy
for about 55 per cent of the value of
gold, have margin on labor alone
that enables them to undersen the
English farmer or manufacturer in
the markets which England has here
tofore controlled.
England is either compelled to give
up a large amount of the worlds
trade, which she has heretofore con-
trolled, or increase the use of silver
in the world to such an extent that it
will not be possible for her manufac-
turers to take advantage of the lower
cost Of their labor growing out of the

difference of gold and silver. If the
silver men in the United States will
only let congress alone and leave the
matter to be worked out by the COM
mercial profit and loss account OF
Great Britain, the latter nation will
be compelled, together with Germany.
France and our country, in bringing
about the condition of things that will
enable English people to meet the
competition of other nations on some
thing like an equal footing.
'"The feeling abroad against all
classes of American securities, wheth.
er national or otherwise, was very in
tense. Good and bad were more or
less claSsed alike. This feeling how
ever, is gradually wearing away.
1.-THE low prices of wheat already
found during the past year new
market for that product. California
and west coast wheat, that has here
tofore gone to Europe, is now going
in shiploads to China in the form of
flour, where it Is taking the place of
rice, formerly used by the Chinese"
HAS your opinion changed regard
ing the ratio of gold and silver?"
'That is immaterial. Proportions Of
gold and silver taken for one thousand
yearS-aS long as we have history up
on the matter-remain practically the
same. For a period of ten years or
more, one or the other may show
slight change, but the ratio remains
at 1515 or 16 to 1. And, if gold and
silver were interchangeable for lso
many hundreds of years in the past,
it is difficult to see what has occurred
to prevent their ehangeability now,
provided all nations are willing to re-
ceive it."
When asked why other nations can
not act independently of England in
the matter Of an International agree
ment, he said:
"Simply because England, or Lon
don, is the financial clearing house
of the world, and all commercial bal
ances are practically adjusted through
the medium Of sterling exchange or
British credit"

McKINLEY's POSITION.
Strong Declaration Against a Free
~ Silver Doctrine.

Sr.4Augustine, Fla, March. 25-Gov-
eTnor Mckinley and his party will ar
rive here tomorrow. In Thomasviile
yesterday a letter was received by
Governor Mckinley from a hundred
OF nloEe citizens of Georgia, democrats
and 1replbQicans alike, pledging him
the solid vote of Georgia in the
mationaIF republican, convention, and
assuring him of fighting chance
to get the electoral vote of THAT
state, provided that he will declare
himself an advocate of free silver.
The letter also intimated desire that
the republican national platform Of
1896 might contain a silver plank.
When this letter was read aloud to him
Governor Mckinley was indignant.
He braced back, thrust his hands in
his trousers pockets, and shouted:
IF the republican party should de-
clare for free silver 1 would decline
to become its candidate, and 1 would
quit the party forever"

WASHINGTON, March, 25.-Infor-
nation coming to the Chinese legation
is to the effect that Lii Hung Chang s
wound is not dangerous, except as
complications may develop. It. is in
the fleshy part of the face, but fortu-
nately no part of the skull has been
fractured or any vital organs touched.
Prince Lis advanced age and several
constitutional disorders which make
him almost an invalid, may aggravate
a nuwise harmful wound. On his ar
rival ait Simonoseli he was too sick to
leave the ship which brought him.
He had to be carried about, this being
a necessity in his case as we'll as an
honor due his rank. officials of the
Japanese legation say the offender will
be charged with treason, as the as
sault is not only against the, person
of Lii Hung Chang but against the
Chinese government. 1T is probable
also that the trial will be by court
martial and a conviction by court mar
tial would mean that the ! offender
would be shot Diplomats shere are
inclined to believe THAT the =. entire
peace negotiations may be broken, off
by THE assault, by affording aE;pretext
for European Intervention. Eli him
self will prevent such a failure how
ever. if it be possible.
Officials here regard it as ! settled
that China and Japan have reached
an understanding by which the for
mer will extend her territory south
from VlaIdivostock so as to keep the
harbor open the year around. This
has been an acquisition Russia has
long sought, as it gives an eastern

HOW THE CRICKET SINGS.

Nobody would guess the cricket to
be flying insect; and yet he has two
pairs Of most beautiful wings folded
away beneath the brown scales, or
wing cases, on his back. These he
seldom uses; they were given to him
as a last resource, in case of famine
at any time in the place which he in
habits, when he would fly to some
new abode. With skill and care these
wings can be unfolded; and then a
very curious musical instrument will
be found on the upper pair of wings,
consisting of a couple of small files
and two fiat, clear plates beside them.
When the cricket wishes to ''sing"
ne bends the front part of his body
downward a little, raises the wings
without unfolding them, and rubs the
files quickly against each other. The
sound which he makes in this way is
greatly increased by the two plates,
which act like the parchment of a
drum, causing the sound to become
louder and to spread further.-Animal
Friends, 49,.
