FREE COINAGE.
Mr.. Tomlinson Gives Eleven Reasons
Why He Favors 1t.

MT. OmIlnSon JlVeS ELEVEN Reasons
Why He Favors 1t.
Hon. John W. Tomlinson, g. promi-
nent attorney of Birmingham, Ala
tells the New York Mercury why he
favors free coinage of silver as follows:
'FIrst-Because the single gold
standard is unfair to the debtor class.
'Second-Bscause there is not now
a sufficient amount of gold for circu-
Iating medium.
"Third-Because the parity would
then be maintained naturally instead
of artif ;ially, as at present.
"Fourth-Becauset the production of
gold is not keeping pace with increas
ing population and business.
''Fifth-Because under the single
gold standard, gold is comparatively
constantly appreciating.
'Sixth-Because, like a river fed
from two sources, the circulating me-
dium would then be less liable to fuc-
tuation.
"Seventh-Because both gold and
silver, as primary money, is the con-
stitutionaI money of the people.
"Eighth-Because it would b9 more
difficult for gamblers in the money
centers to corner both gold and silver.
"Ninth-Because there would be two
metals as primary money, so that the
debtor might have the option in which
he would pay.
"Tenth-Because now in the transac-
tion of the business Of the world credit
has to be resorted to, which is condu
Give of panics and is too expensive, ex
cept for those favored few who own
the gilt edge, easily convertible securi-
ties
"Eleventh-Because it would Lasten
the development of this comparatively
new country, for the masses of the
people, while having property, have
not the money now with which to in
vest in new enterprises, and from bit
ter past experience they are not likely
for some time to come to borrow, even
to start new industries

A Seasonable Discovery.

A bed of petrified oysters has been found
on the top of Big Mountain, just back OF
Forkston, Wyoming County, writes a
Wilkesbarre correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Ledger. A short time since
A. Judson Stark and William N. Rey-
nolds Jr. of Lafayette College, amateur
biologists of Tunkhannock, spent a day
on the mountain and brought back
fine collection of the petrifed
bivalves. Some of the specimens are of
mammoth size, one in Mr.. Reynolds pos
session measuring twenty-five inches long
by nine inches wide and weighing forty
pounds. The specimens range in all
edible oysters of the present time. Some
of the specimens show the eye of the
oyster perfectly and in all of them the
meat is easily removed from the shell.
The bed seems to be confined to a small
mound, resting on broad plateau, at the
extreme top of the mountain, near the Sui
Ivan County line.

Sir Henry Irving's histrionical career

old manager, whose kindly ways and gen.

manager of Her Majesty's Theater, King

hard work to find food for wife and con-

A New Am uIance.

A German surgeon, DR.. Hoenig, has de-
signed an apparatus, which he calls a
cyclo-ambulance, says the British Medical
Journal. 1t consists of car covered in
with canvas, which contains a folding
litter and rests on four side wheels and a
fifth wheel in front pedaled by a cyclst.
A seat and pedal are also provided at the
back for another cyclist. The top part of
the car can be lifted off. patient can then
be placed on the litter and the top replaced
on the axles. The patient can be watched
by the cyclist at the back through glazed
window; but the patient is also provided
with the means of attracting the attention
of the cyclist by using the rubber ball OF a
cycle horn. An aperture in the side of the
car affords access to the patient when he is
in need of help. The ambulance is re-
ported to be in experimental use in Berlin,
and is easily steered and manipulated.

When all the world is fast asleep,
Along the midnight skies
Al though il were wandering cloud
The ghostly Dream-Shfp flies
An angel stands at the Dream-Shps helm,
An angel stands at the prov.
And an angel stands at the Dream-Ship's side
With rue wreath on her brow.
The other angels, silver crowned,
Pilot and helmsman are,
But the angel with the wreath OF rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.
The dreams they fall on rich and poor,
They fall on young and DID,
And some are dreams of poverty
And some are dreams OF gold.
And some are dreams that thrill with Joy,
And some that melt to tears;
Some are dreams of the dawn of love,
And some OF the old, dead years.
On rich and poor alike they fall,
Alike on young and old,
Bringing to slumberlng earth their joys
And sorrows manifold.
The friendless youth in them shall do
The deeds of mighty men,
A nd dropping age shall feel the grace
OF buoyant youth again.
The king shall be beggar man
The pauper be a king
In that revenge OF recOmpenSe
The Dream-Ship dreams TO bring.
So ever downward float the dreams
That are for all and me,
And there is never mortal man
Can solve that mystery.
But ever onward in its course
Along the haunted skies
AS though 1t were cloud astray-
The ghostly Dream-Ship flies
Two angels with their silver crowns
Pilot and helmsman are,
And an angel with wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar. EUGENE FIELD.

Why Mrs. Knarston Is Said to
Be Unfit to Care for Her
Children.
BUT SHE DIDN'T WEAR TIGHTS.
She Appeared in a Flowing Robe Of
White Which Was Proper in
Every Respect.

The matter of guardianship of the two
children of John III. Knarston, who was
killed by an Oakland train a short time
ago, was before Judge Coffey Yesterday
afternoon. The applicants are Viola F.
Knarston, mother of the children, and the
Druids lodge to which Knarston belonged.
Knarston's sister, from Victoria, B. c.,
also lays claim TO the children, but she is
not a resident of the State and, therefore,
her claims are not considered.
Mrs. Knarstou was divorced from her
husband in 1891. Since then the two chill
dren. George and Belle, had been in the
custody of the father, but she had been
allowed to see them at intervals. The
divorce was granted to the husband on the
ground of her desertlon, but Mrs. Knars-
ton says he had taken possession of the
children and would not permit her to see
them at all if she did not allow him to Sc
cure the divorce.
The directors to the appointment of Mrs.
Knarston submitted much evidence to
show that she was not fit person to care
for the children. Mrs. Knarston herself
was placed on the stand. She was asked
some questions of her theatrical expert
ence, and she told now she had given
riding exhibitions at the Pavilion. and at
| the Circus Royal. In the aquatic portion
| of the performances at this latter place she
| had also taken part. On one occasion she
appeared as Elaine and again she was a
| portion OF the living fountain"
Opposing counsel was very anxious to
| know Just what the witness wore upon
these occasions. and the reply was she
wore a long white robe He asked if she
| had not worn tights, but she denied having
| done so, except under her white robe. She
| had never appeared in tights, she said.
! She was also questioned as to her where
abouts since the divorce and of her asso-
| ciates. She admitted having gone riding
now ana then at the Preside, but she
| denied having any knowledge of news
! paper story which connected her rather
unpleasantly with a man arrested for
| ENLIGHTENMENT.
Mrs. Mary Martin, former friend OF
| the family. took the stand to tell how
| Mrs. knarson used to drink. Mrs. Mar
tin said Mrs. Knarston remarked one time
that she hated her children, especially the
| boy, because he looked like his father and
had a similar disposition. She had said,
too, that she drank in order to make her
husband angry Mrs. Martin also told
how Mrs. Knarston used to neglect her
children and would leave them uncared
for while she enjoyed herself at dances and
picnics.
The boy was also put on the stand, but
| his testimony was not OF much value
either way. He and his sister were sent
| into the Judge chambers to be questioned
| by him later when out of the reach OF the
attorneys. The case was not concluded.
