FAKE ExPosED.-The Memphis
Commercial says: GA writer in the Gin
cinnati Enquirer tells a very remark
able story of a watch found on the
body of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnson on
the field of Shiloh by federal soldier.
The story is that shortly after the
wounding General Johnson was borne
by Governor Harris to place of safe.
ty, the Confederates were driven back,
and General Johnson, still alive, but
fast dying, fell into the hands of federal
soldiers, one of whom robbed the body
of a gold watch, which, after many
strange vicissitudes, came to the hands
of some person who now desires to re.
turn it to the family. This story is, OF
course. gaudy fake. General John
son expired almost immediate y after
being lifted from his horse and his
BODY never fell into the hands OF the
federals at all. At the time OF his
fall the federals were everywhere
being pressed back, and shortly there
after, when Beauregard took command,
the first days battle came to an END.
Genera Johnson's body was buried by
the Confederates.

BATTLEOF THE WORDS
The Horr-Haryey Debate Begins
in Chicago.
Both Men Make Their Prelim-
mary Statements.
THOUSAND PRESENT.
HOrr Says There Isn't a True
Statement in "Coin."
Harvey Gets as Far as TWelfth1y
For a Starter.

CHICAGO, July 16.-The field of the
cloth of gold with all its significance
of chivaIry was outrivalled in Chicago
today. In eIaborateness of arrangement,
at least, and the celebrity of the com
batants, the majority of the spectators
present this afternoon, were persuaded
ghtly or wrongly. that the up-to-date
tournament equalled, if it did not sur.
pass the famous occasion when the
knightly champions of old had joust
that challenged the attention of chrlsten-
dom.
Today's affair was strictly modern in
every detail, and if lacking in display of
tinsel and plumes, scanned all the great
er to the witnesses, who took in all Sc
riousness that it was a contest of intel
lect instead of muscle. Certainly both
sides displayed an earnestness and vigor
worthy of an encounter that it was ap-
parent to them would attract the keenest
national and perhaps International inter
est
No such "big talk" has ever been
planned before, it is claimed, as this ten
days GO -as-you- please match between the
chosen representatives of the opposing
ideas of the money question, Roswell g.
Horr and Vim. Il Harvey.
It was about 2 p. N. when the witty
ex- Congressman from Michigan, now a
resident of New York, and the sharp
Colorado newspaper man, now resident
of Chicago, signihed to the judges and
the select audience present by invitation
at the Illinois club on Ashland avenue
that all was in readiness for the success
sive 1000 word broadsides that, with
three minute rests, were to last three
hours a day for ten successive days. The
judges were ex-Solicitor General of the
UnIled States Charles H. AIdrich and
Henry Miller.

About Music Hall Songs.

Many of the popular songs are the COM
position of men who have not the slightest
knowledge of music. In the original form
their songs and patter are ungrammatical
and badly spelled, but they contain good
germs of comedy, and when polished up
little are rendered suitable to sing. If
they are intended for publication, the
songs undergo another polishing in order
to make them more presentable than if
simply intended for music hall use.
A song is never published until it has
been proved to be success on the stage.
The singing right of music hall song is
usually guinea, though at times 2, and
even 5 guineas are paid, but this latter
sum is very exceptional one.
AS rule, music publishers pay from 25
to Els for a song, the average being about
e8, and when the author of song which
has been published is also the composer OF
the music he shares the sum received from
the publisher equally with the vocalist.
The songs most readily taken up by
publishers are those of a comic nature, but
they are not always correct in their judg
ment, as was proved by the success O
"Ask a Policeman, - which was refused bJ
five well known firms and finally ISSUED
by the house to which it was first offered

made all classes of productive, mercan-
tile and manufacturing business un-
profta BILE. That the falling market COW
ering a long period, destroys the pros
pective profits based on cost of purchase
aud production. and a majority of our
most astute business men cannot avoid
failure or loss of capital under these con-
ditions.
'Tenth-That it has worked hardship
, and injury to debtors, who unconscious
of the causes that continuously reduced
the prices of their property have con-
tracted debts during these 20 years. That
this fall in prices causes sacrifice
of property to purchase the dollars with
which to liquidate these debts.
/ That this has caused the renewal
of debts; the contraction of new debts
to pay old debts, and an enlarged vol
takes from the debtor his property and
emphasizes the Importance of a stable
money measurement of values.
"Eleventh-That in the end no one is
benefited by a fall in prices but the
money lender, the owner of money and

BELIEVE HOLMES DID IT.
Philadelphia Officers are Confident He
Murdered the PietzeIs.

Philadelphia Officers are Confident He
Murdered the PietzeIs.
PHILADELPHIA, July 16-The finding
of the bodies of the two Pietzel children
in Toronto created a sensation in police
circles in this city The authorities are
arch conspirator II. II. Holmes,
who is now in prison in this city
awaiting trial on the charge of conspir-
acy to defraud the Fidelity Mutual Life
Insurance association of $4,000,
This amount was obtained by Lawyer
Jeptha D. Howe of St. Louis, represent
ing the family of B. F. Pietzel, who it is
alleged was killed in this city by an ex
plosion of chemical and who had
shortly before been insured in the Fidel-
ity company. It is probable that the
from conspiracy to murder, as it is gen.
orally believed that Pietzsl is really dead
and that Holmes murdered him.
Just before Holmes was brought to
trial he made a confession in which he
said that he procured a corpse in New
York, brought it to this city and disfig-
uring it by use of chemicals palmed it
off successfully as the remains of Pietzel.
After the confession Holmes trial was
postponed until October.
The belief is also that he attempted to
destroy MRS. HletZ6I IN burlington, Nis
by having her handle a can of nitro gly-
cerine that he left in the house she occu-
pied. Should it be proved that Holmes
murdered the children, it will be strong
circumstantial evidence that he killed
| their father. He will undoubtedly ba
tried here for the latter crime
, Mrs. Pietzel, the mother of the murder
ed children, is at present supposed to be
at her old home at Galva, Henry county,
| Illinois, with two of her children, a
daugh hter aged II and baby She weni
direct to Galva after Holmes had pleaded
| guilty.
