on alarm of fire was sounded, caused by
the mill of Reed Bros, in Brighton,
near the shell road, being on fire. The
steamer Virginia proceeded as far as
the city limits, but went no further, as
her services would be of no use, there
being no water out there, except wells.

mill was entirely consumed. The mill
hns not been used for some time, con
sequently 1t must have been set on fire.

stung by hornets while riding her bicy-
Gle near East Marion, y. Y. She had
stopped to rest and was leaning against

the swarm attacked her. She abandoned
her wheel and fed for safety She was
stung on the hands and face.

scene of the attack, finally succeeded in
regaining the bicycle from the battle
ground of the hornets and returned it to
Its suffering owner, who mounted and
resumed her journey.

Every laborer thrown ont of employ.
ment during this time, or who has suf-
fered reduction of wages as result OF
this panic, can justly charge his loss Of
wages to the same source.
These disasters are made none the less
cruel and oppressive by the fact that the
silver party did not intend the result.
This country has suffered as much and
perhaps more from the "free silver
movement than it would have suffered
from Il great foreign war, excepting
the loss of life. The losses Of war in
just cause might not only DO borne with
fortitude, but be considered glorious
sacrifices Tho losses Of property and
wages which have come from an "hon.
est" effort To help silver" and the sill
yer miners are as real as those Of war
and must be borne under the conviction
that they arc the result Of an inconceiv-
able folly. r. Weissinger in "What il

A BlMETALLIST'S OPINION.
DIR. Andrews of Brown University Answers
Pertinent Question.

Perhaps the most scholarly, intellec-
tnal and honest of tho bimetallists is tho
president Of Brown university. He was
one of the delegates from this country to
tho international monetary conference
held at Brussels in 1899 and is an mr.
dent advocate OF the wider use Of silver.
But ho sees the folly and danger of at
tempting the possible-at least when
one nation attempts it single handed.
The following is DR.. Andrews reply,
published i'll the Chicago Record, to the
question, Shall the United States at
tempt the froe coinage of silver alone?"
IF we take up the metal alone, and
that course results as I should antici-
. pate Ill the expulsion Of gold, we shall
have III the first place financial crisis
worse than any ever suffered in the
country. This because we cannot in o
long time, even by working our minis
day and night, coin silver enough to
take the place which would be vacated
by gold. Prices would surely fall. Inn
mensc numbers of failures would, occur.
. Laborers would be thrown out,of work.
Altogether dreadful paroxysm in our
business'would be preoipitated. Slowly
the gap left by gold would be filed by
tho mining and coinage of siyer. Rrices
would then gradually rise. sAt last they
world' become higher than now, more
and more approaching the-Mexican and
Japanese level
But consequence far worse than
any OF these would be that our passage
to silver basis would erectagainst for
eisn exchange between Europe and tho
United States just such barrier as now
exists between Europe and Mexico. It
would annihilate all fixed par between
New York and London, repeating the
terrible Inconvenience in our European
exchanges which we suffered in war
times when we were upon q paper
basis.
