neighbor, cabled 'fMy congratulations on
your eighty fourth birthday and Henry
James from London, Samuel L. Clemens
Mark Twain) telegraphed from Elmira
his best wishes, and other messages were
received from George Y Gable, Mary
R. Stockton, Senator Palmer of Illinois,
and William Dean Howells
The messages poured in from all over
the civilized world as was the case last
year, when she was the recipient of over
500 kilograms and letters OF congratula-
ions.
Despite her advanced years, Mrs. Stowe
is in excellent physical health. The June
days of the past few years have brought
to her most of the gladness and sunshine
of her recent life, for each morning in
this month she wanders among the daisy
fields and rose. gardens which abound in
the neighborhood of her house. On these
walks she is accompanied by two female
attendants and her toy terrier dog, and
when the day is bright and warm she
will spend hours among the daisies in
weaving floral chains and singing in her
high treble snatches of song reminiscent
to the mind of her childhood.
The children of the neighborhood know
her we'll and she loves toshaye them with
her in her rambles Adults she appears
to avoid. 1t being flag day in all
the schools of the city, the children of
the school near her home presented her
with large bouquet of wild flowers tied
with the national colors Her chief de-
light is in the blossoms of the field rather
than in the blossoms of the dollhouse.
1t was forty three years ago that the
silver-haired but still sweet faced woman
gave Uncle Toms Cabin to the world,
and since then she has seen her sisters,
Catherine and Mary, and her brothers,
William, Edward, George and Henry
Ward, pass, away Her husband, Rev.
DR.. Stowe, died eight years ago, but she
has still left to her Isabelle Beecher
Hooker, her stepsister, and her own child
rem, Eliza and Harriet, with whom she
lives, and her son, Rev. Charles Stowe,
who resides in Simsbury, CT

It is true as stated by S. W. T. else
where that the gold dollar was not au
thorized by the act of 1884. 1t was the
gold eagle that we had in mind The gold
in that was diminished. The error was
unimportant for it was the fact that the
silver dollar was undervalued by that act
and went out of circulation by reason of
its bullion value being greater than it's
representative value that we were trying
to make prominent in reply to Mr.. Tai
bots assertion that nothing but coins
representative value is ever considered.
We used the word intrinsic because
Mr.. Talbot hadl used Fit, and we meant
by it as he meant the value of the bull
lion as such contained in the coin. The
strict meaning of the word would not
perhaps fully justify that use, and yet
we find standard authors on money using
it in that sense. But the most interest
ing thing about this communication is it's
radical disagreement with the Hon.
George F. Talbot's theory. Mr.. Talbot
holds that the exchange value of coin is
fixed entirely by convention or agree
ment, and has no relation whatever to
supply and demand. But here is S. W.
Z. holding that the increased demand
for gold by reason of the demonstration
of silver has increased its purchasing
power or its exchange value,
and he wants silver remonetized
in order to decrease COLDS purchasing
power. Which of these two silver advocates
dispenses the pure milk of the word we
do not know. But in ga campaign of
education" the educators on the same
side ought not to be teaching radically
different doctrines.

Turkey is yielding reluctantly to the
pressure of the Powers AT the last
moment the Sultan has consented to the
project of Armenian reform, but only
on condition that its existence shall be
limited to three years. 1t will take at
least that long to rebuild the ruined
villages and get the terrified survivors of
the population in condition to support
themselves and their families by working
their farms and renewing their fiocks and
herds. For the next three years they
will have little to attract the cupidity of
their Kurdish neighbors. After that time
there will be pickings again in Armenia,
and the Porte is cleverly arranging to
establish just enough of close season to
make Armenian pot7hunting profitable
when resumed.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10.

The son of the Afghan Ameer, who is
visiting England, kept company of
distinguished Englishmen who had called
at his hotel to escort him to reception
prepared in his honor, waiting several
hours, refusing to get out of bed. As
Afghanistan is close to the border of In
dia, the Ameer and his family have to be
treated with distinguished consideration,
but it is altogether probable that some
strong language was usedsbyIhis entertain
ers on this occasion.

The Philadelphia Manufacturer points
out substantially all the increases of
wages recently reported have been in the
iron industries or those grouped with
them. SIN the textile departments there
has been little restoration of the severe
reductions which generally had to be
made, and none is now in sight. The re-
duction of the import duties was made by
the Wilson bill in the face of the knowl-
edge that it would depress wages, and
there can be no general recovery of these
until its mischiefs are remedied. -
