WANT SOUND MONEY
FARMERS ARE STRONGLY
TO 16-TO-1 SILVER DOLLARS.
Proposed by White-Metal
Defeated in h Nation
al Congress by 147 Majority.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 14.-Soon after the
Farmers National Congress, which met
here last week and has been holding daily
sessions since, resumed it's sitting this
morning a sensation was sprung in the
form of a fight on free silver. which re-
suited in the complete defeat of the 16-to-1
forces. BY a vote of 81 g-l4 to 104 5-l4 the
congress refused to insert the words "At
a ratio not to exceed is to l." in a reso-
luton asking Congress to use both gold
and silver on a parity and calling for an
international conference or the monetary
question.
The resolution was one which had Just
come from the committee on resolutions
and was reported favorably. 1t was Of
fered by Mr.. J. G.. Onfut, a delegate from
Indiana. In substance it deprecated the
present condition of finance in this coun-
try and called on the President of the
United States to call an international con-
gress of all nations willing to unite in
the equal use of both gold and silver. The
free silver delegates wanted the paragraph
changed so as to read willing to unite
in the equal use of both gold and silver
at a ratio not to exceed is to l." Numbers
was soon evident that the congress was
opposed to the amendment. The question
was first put viva voce and the nays had
1t, evidently. A vote by States was called
for and resulted in the rejection of the
amendment by a vote OF 2l 9-14 to 14 ola.
Georgia's delegation was divided The
States known as the silver States favored
the amendment and the East. the North
and the South voted almost solidly against
it. The fight was made sQuarely on the
merits of the question and the issue was
in no way clouded with parliamentary
technicalities. Those delegates who favored
the free and unlimited coinage of silver,
at 16 TO l. voted for the amendment and
Ii was lost by a majority. of 1F-
The victory of the sound money elemen
in the congress was emphasized later in
the day, when a resolution declaring OPP
position to the further issue of interest
bearing treasury bonds or notes under
any circumstances was lost A resolution
favoring congressional enactment against
the beef trust was adopted.

 Those who mstk, busiaess of oblit- erating evidence oi fistie encounters in the shape of black eyes by painting the damaged op:ics no longer enjoy Q mo- nopoly of such business. This was told by pugilistio acquaintance whose ex- perience entities him to be regarded as an authority on the subject.
 Massage treatment Of tho region af- fected, ho said, twill beat paint and raw beefsteak all hollow. Bat itshould be applied immediately after the injury is received in order to prove thoroughly efficaeious. It dees not require an ex- pert to do it. All that is necessary is to move tho fingers rapidly and firmly over the bruised surface and to keep it up until the last vestige of discoloration has disappeared. The explanation is easy. Where the blow has been received the blood becomes congested. It is the elots of blood showing through the transpar- ent skin that produces the black effect. The pressure of the fingers gradually loosens the clotted blood which passes off into the general currents of eircula- tion, and fresh and properly oolored blood takes it's place. "
 However, as a rule, tho professional 'pug" does not bother himself about aeoelerating the disappearance of black eye. It is a sign which proolaims the fact that it's proprietor has recently fill ed an engagement, and as such he is an object of envy to his less fortunate brethren.

Critical Logic Failed.

The late Sherlock Holmes had q fla vorite dictum: Eliminate the impos- sible, and what is left, however i'm probable, must be the truth. :" This was not at all ill accordance with the saying of Victor Hugo: Nothing is so immi nent as the impossible. What must be always foreseen is the unforeseen. " Most of us will agree, from experience, with Hugo rather than with Holmes. The impossible does happen. When Mercy Philbrick's Choice" was pub lished in the "No Name" series, the critics were agreed that it seemed to be written by Helen Hunt Jackson. But, as those who knew her love for flowers and acquaintance with nature also pointed out, she could not be the au- thor, for there were several glaring mis- takes in the naming and placing of blossoms in the story. Yet, as was aft erward disclosed, she did write it. So all the theorizing went for nothing Philadelphia Press.

Quotation Marks.

"Quotation marka are not infrequent- ly misused in signs, said stroller,
 "the marks being placed about names, as, for instance, tho name of place.. or about some descriptive phrase in q sign, though the word or the phrase may really not be quotation at all,
 but am never surprised at any misuse of quotation marks, for cannot forget a very singular idea concerning them that had myself in my earlier days. I used to think that single quotation marks about anything meant that the words inclosed were sort of partly quot ed, more or less, whatever that may mean. Perhaps that isn t very distinct statement, but remember we'll that l was quiteitiekled when later learned that quotation marks were not signs to be used at the fancy of the writer. but might properly be used only to indicate actual quotations.

FORTUNES IN FRUIT STANDS.
Rig Money Sn Small Business by Eco.
 -.,s.,sxssr< v..ys-,.,.

NN1OS
 @eszssaE Esass4ns.
 Few of tho thoughtless passersby and chance patrons of thecorner fruit stands on the city streets realize the compara- lively largo profits reaped by those who have their capital invested ill this ap- parently insignificant business. To the average oniooker as he casts careless glance at the vendor of fruit and candy probably tie only thought that occurs is that here is poor unfortunate for eigner cast on our shores, who manages by this simple means to eke out liv- ing for himself and large family of small children. Indeed aNloser inspec- tion into the comfortless lives of these seekers for gain, involving long hours spent in continued application to work, tho short remaining time passed i'll squalid homes or on the streets, would reveal little of the true state of affairs.
 There is a vast difference in the indi- cations from outward appearances. Some of them carry an air of prosperity ill neatness of dress and carelessness of air. Others seem to wish to advertise their poverty by show of tattered gar ments and generally destitute appear ance. But ill general those appearances are deceitful. The man in rags may or dinarily bo regarded as more fortunate than his apparently prosperous brother. He is making moro because it is not so much what is made in profits as what is saved, and in a small business, like that of the corner fruit dealers, this general principle is especially true
 The amount of the gains possible to the astute dealers is seen from few ex- amples of unusual prosperity. A short time ago an Italian who had been in the business on down town corner for ten years closed out his business to a successor, receiving from him $2, 200 for the privilege of his location. This amount he added to fortune of $60,- GOO already accumulated. In the stock yards region Q similar sale was made in consideration of $250. In tho same neighborhood the death recently of & veteran in the business revealed the fact that he had been possessed of property amounting to $17,000. Some of our largest business blocks, notably on State and Halsted streets, are now owned by those who started in business i'll this way.-Chicago Journal.
