THE MAGAZINES.

Mrs. Shakespeare sounds bit odd To
our ears. and that Is why thousands OF
people will read with curiosity the ar
ticle under that title in the March Ladies'
Home Journal. The paper is extremely
interesting. 1t Is by DR.. w. ]. Rolfe, the
Shakespearean authority. who gathers to-
gether everything that Is known about
Shakespeare's wife. her courtshlp. her
married life and her children, and pre-
sents his material IN a popular and most
fascsnatingly interesting article.
One OF the most important projects ever
undertaken by Scribner's Magazine be-
gins In the March number with the first
ansnaiiment OF President e. Benjamin
Andrews dramatic narrative, "A History
OF the Last ouarter-Century In the Unat-
ed States" That this with be always In

Introductory paragraph. Ia which he tells
Giien that they are going upon a rapid
excursion. through vast tracts, with FREE
auert use OF tho camera and not upon a
typographical survey" Each installment
will be filled with what was once the
sensational episode OF the day, and which
has been proved by time To DO OF great
historical Importance
The pace at which, Americans 1--we Is

THE PRICE OF PEACE.

The first vote OF Wilson, the new SEN
ator from Washington. was In favor OF
the Jones free silver bin. Thereby hangs
q tale. When Wilson first became an
avUwsed candidate for the senate from his
state he was regarded as a sound money
man. and as opposed to the unrestricted
coinage OF silver. As the senatorial battfa
in tho legislature went on IT became evi-
dent that the free silver men held the
balance OF power and could elect any
candkate who pleased them. Wilson's
rivals dsciared for free silver. an6 # be-.
came necessary for HIM To follow su,,
or be disoanced, and so he fell into ,Ina
ana was finally elected. and his vote for
the Jones' bin was his first payynas,t on
account. Wilson's surrender stands in
very unfavorah.e contrast to the ross.
ton os Senator Doiph. OF Oregon. who
continues steadfast in his opposition -
cheap money, when BY yielding to the sIl.
yer men he could have their votes.

Gold is still being drawn from the treas
ury reserve by surrender OF greenhacks
and treasury notes. In the last ten days
over 100000 gold has thus been paid
out. OF course this II little compared
with the amount that has been paid in
by the syndicate which purchased the
bonds. which amounts to almost $751;
o0o.oeO. Yet 1T is source of some I'M
easiness because 1t was confidently be-
heved by the treasury officials that with
drawals would cease when the purchased
gold came flowing in. The average daily
Withdrawals since February Il have been
$l2e.ooo. They have been made very
quietly, but also very regularly and indi-
cate either that the gold thus obtained
has been used to pay for bonds assigned
by the syndicate to its subscribers or is

Puget sound Can Always Comfort the

Chicago Inter Ocean, Feb. IL.
The cold wave has played many freaks
with the people. but mono have been
more disappointed with the weather
record than those who live in the North
but have gone to the South to escape
the rigors of winter. The cold waves
have swept the South as we'll as the
North. have penetrated into Florida
and Louisiana, Georgia and the Caro-
linas They have destroyed the oranges
in the South. and then to even up
the scale and show that the weather IS
no respector of sections. they have
swept down the Pacific coast and
blighted the orange groves OF California
and Arizona.
They have crossed the Atlantic and
swept Germany. England. France.
Spain and Italy. aud We may next hear
OF them In India and the Orient. The
only section that seems to have escaped
is that from which We have expected
the blizzard. This Isl the extreme North
western state OF our country, and the
cities OF Puget sound send out TO the
the roses are putting forth their new
buds and the farmers are engaged in
their spring blowing. 1t may be too
early for the people of Washington and
Oregon to boast OF their escape from
the cold waves. but they are sending
out the most cheerful notes that are
heard over the frosty wires.
And there is consolation for all In the
baimy spring weather In the extreme
Northwest. The peach crop of Della
ware may be killed, the apple crop of
Michigan bligfted. the oranges of
Florida and Southern California with
cred. and the strawberries OF the South
killed. but Washington and Idaho
promise an abundance OF fruit. 1t may
be novel move to so TO Washington
for apples and pears and piums and
berries of all kinds next summer. but IL
we have TO do IL there will be coIso-
iation in the fact that the country
which John c. Calhoun said was not
worth pinch OF snuff has come to the
relief of Uncle Sam to prevent his for
getting how apples and peaches taste.
Then we may also have to turn to the
Northwest and cross the blizzard plains
Of the Dakotas and the home of the
avalanche in the Rocky mountains to
find our perpetual summer under the
shadow % Mount Rainier. which wears
perpetual diadern OF snow and ice. The
people Of the Northwest have long tried

The fan OF two large New York tene-
ment buildings on Friday, one OF them
being old. the other new. illustrates what
the Post-Intelligencer said some time ago
about the fimsy construction Of large
New York dwelling houses. The collapse
OF q great tenement house Is not extra
ordinary. Dozens Of them have gone down
In the last few years When there is loss
OF life the owner OF the building Is called
to account, he throws the blame on the
contractor, and the contractor says the
fault lay with his foreman. The truth is
that the owner wanted cheap building,
and he took the lowest bid. regardless OF
materials or workmanship. One of the
buildings that fell on Friday was eight
stories high. Eight-story buildings are
not fit hahitations for human beings. Half
the ground Of New York city is vacant or
occupied by shanties and buildings VI no
value. A very slight increase In the rate
Of taxation on vacant lots would cause
the owners to sell or improve them. That
seems to be the feasible solution Of the
oYercrowdiug problem.

why Gold Is Exported.

Alfred S. Hesdelbach IN the Forum
II II be true that Europe no longer
sends us large quantities Of securities.
and since the merchandise balance II
very considerable In our favor. whence
then comes this unsettled debt which
keeps clamoring for payment IN gold.
and which 1t seems we can Equtdate with
nothing else2 The explanation Is simple
enough.
The United States owe 10 Europe
(apart from the ordinary merchandise
balances as evidenced by tha custom
house returns) annually:
For. money spent by American
travellers abroad. about. aoo. ooo,o 600
For frelghts carried In foreign
ships. about. 100. 00.o 0o
For dividends and interest upon
American securities st4ll held
abroad. min.arsum .........n.. 100000
For profits Of foreign corpora
kions doing business here.
and Of non-rex1dents. derived
from real estate investments.
partnership profits. etc, about 5000, ooe
Total .........................s$ $50. 900 90
These figures have been carefully gone
over and represent a very conservative
estimate. SO that the actual total IL
more likely to be larger than smaller. In
order 20 pay this vast annual sndebted-
ness TO Europe the balance OF trade In
merchandise would have To reach at least
this sum. but 1t has never done 80. The
merchandise balance (iTscsudaag exports
OF silver In our favor Ii 1894 was seSs, :
eoo. COO. and large as this was. It stfii is<t
q very large amount to be paid for. Tbs
balance could be paid only IA securities
or In gold So long as European crei@-
tors were viking 20 take our securities
or re-anvess their balances In American
enterprises there was no inordinate cali
for gaal but as they no longer seem TO
wish 10 taE0e cur securities to any ex-
tent nor 20 make permanent sravessynersts
here. there is nothing lest but TO asx Tor
and szssist upon payrnen. In gold.
