MRS. CATHERINE sTUMPF DIES
AFTER TAKING HEADACHE
POWDERS
SICK A FEW HOURS ONLY.
COMPLAINED LAST EVENING OF
HAVING A PAIN IN HER
HEAD.
Violent Pains Followed and Mt
1870 the Woman Was Dead
An Autopsy.

Mrs. Catharine Stumpf died very
suddenly at her home at 4S1 East
Fifth street at 1920 o'clock last night.
Early in the evening she complained
of headache, and as a remedy her
daughter gave her some powders.
Within two hours after this she was
taken with violent pains in the stom-
ach. A physician was sent for, but
before he could reach her she had
died
The preparation which apparently
caused the death was a patent med
icine, and the woman had at pre-
vious times taken three powders from
the same package. She has for many
years used the remedy for headache,
and it has at all previous times
benefited her and has never pro-
duced any unpleasant effects. She
has enjoyed very good state of
health and has not been afflicted
with heart disease.
She was fifty-five years old, and
leaves a husband and six children.
The family has resided in st. Paul
only about three months, having
come here from Ohio.
An autopsy will be held by Cor
oner Whitcomb today.

CURRENCY MOVEMENTS.

The latest issue of the publications
Of the sound currency committee of
the Reform club is a compilation Of
the statistics Of the currency of this
country since 1860. AS a handy ref
erence, gathering into small space
data contained in many volumes, it
is indispensable to those who have
to study currency questions or who
seek information on them. A tabu-
lation from the different tables of
the quantity and kinds Of paper
currency issued and outstanding in
each of these years presents the
fluctuations, the sharp expansions
and contractions, that have taken
place.
Thus, in 1860, the paper currency
of the country, entirely the issues of
state banks, was $2O7, 100000, while
the coin is estimated at $2S5, 900, 900,
omitting figures below the hundred
thousand. The former fell to $780,
100000 the next year and the latter
rose to $3.50, 100000, making a total
money value of $457, 200, 900. In the
year 1862 gold rose to a premium
and disappeared from circulation,

JIMMY GOT THE CAKE
Winner of the Walk IL Little
White Boy

Ihere was a pleasant little cake
walk about l o'clock this morning at
central hall, corner of Seventh and
cedar streets. 1t was managed by
Clarence Brown and Albert Smith, two
pickaninnies in "rhe Passing Show"
Little Lucy DAILY and all the other lit
tie darkies were present, and the cake
was awarded to Jimmie Nc cDonald, the
small white soprano, whose surprising
gallery song has gratified this weeks
audience at the Metropolitan
1t was hoped that the initial cake
walk of the year might attract local
walkers and establish a social record.
But the affair had been arranged in a
single day. 1t was not we'll advertised,
and the Afro-American elite of st. Paul
We're unprepared to participate sudden
ly IN such critical function. Then,
again, there was rather too many white
people present this morning; beer was
unobtainable; and the jury of judges
contained thirteen members Under
these adverse circumstances it was not
surprising that only half a dozen cou-
pies appeared on the floor at 12:45 a..
M, when Detective Horan removed his
hat and announced that the walkers
would begin walking The thirteen
judges sat in melancholy row, glanc-
ing now at each other and now at the
storied white cake upon the piano
above their heads. Clarence Brown
and Lucy Daily led the march. This
couple, however, did not compete. They
merely added dignity to the occasion.
Jack Johnson and Miss Stella Kelly,
both very colored, came next. Eph
White and Miss Florence Carlyle were
the third couple. Lige Kerwin and
Miss Lily Bracket the fourth. These
four were distinctly dark, except Miss
Carlyle, whose blue eyes and fair hair
were notable. The fifth pair were
Prof. Bell and Mrs. Eunice Melanch-
thon, both strangers, the former a mu-
sician from Saltwater, the latter a
young widow from st. Louis. The pro-
cession ended with Master Mcdonald,
aged twelve, and Miss Lizze Mckee
moo, aged nine. All walked about a
few minutes without any display of
emotion; and, it being clear that a
genuine cake walk was out of the
question, the cake was adjudged to Lit
tie Jimmy. A dance preceded and fol-
lowed the walk.

1T is THE STATE AGAINST THE
SEVERAL EXPRESS COM
PANIES
DOING BUSINESS HERE,
AND Is EXPECTvED TO COME UP
In SPECIAL TERM To-
ago DAY.
WHAT THE DEFENSE MAY BE
Gen. ChiIds Thinks 1t VIII Con-
sist Of Picking Flaws in the
.--ri Law.

The action begun some time ago
by Attorney General Childs to COM
pei the express companies doing
business in the state to report to the
state railroad and warehouse COM
mission in accordance with the pro-
visions of the law passed by the last
legislature is expected to come up for
argument in the special term of
the district court today, but ow-
ing to the fact that the attorney for
the defendant has other business
that requires his attention today, it
may have to be put over again. The
action is directed against the Adams
Express company, but is really a
test case to have the validity of the
law settled, and the other express
companies will be governed by the
result.
Just what the contention OF the de-
fense will be has not been ascer-
tained. No answer has been made
to the complaint filed by the attor-
ney general, the defendant simply
filing notice of a motion for dismiss
sal on the ground that it is not a
corporation, but a copartnership, and
therefore it is not sufficient to bring
an action against it's agent. This
is but a preliminary skirmish, how
ever, and has no effect in the de-
termination of the real question-the
validity of the law. If the court
overrules the motion for dismissal,
it is probable the argument on the
question of validity will be taken up
at once. But if the motion is granted
it will necessitate the filing of
new complaint, and this will cause a
delay of a week or so.
Attorney General Childs said yes
terday that he had no idea of the
ground on which a defense was likely
to be made, outside of the question
of class discrimination, because the
law applies only to express COM
panies doing business on railroads
and does not include all classes of
express companies. He says the ques-
ton, as to this class of corporations
being, common carriers and subject
to the same restrictive legislation
as applies to railroad companies is
too well settled to admit of dispute,
and he is sure no contention to the
contrary will be made. He thinks
the defense will be confined entirely
to picking out errors in the law
rather than to contending against
the general principal of the right
Of the legislature to regulate within
reasonable lines, but aside from the
point suggested, he does not know
how. any other questions can be
raised. 1t was more am after of set
ttlingqin friendly way the questions
pertaining to this particular law than
anything else.
The only reason that the hearing
has been delayed so long is that
the attorney general has been occu-
pied a great deal of the time with
railroad litigation.

the amount outstanding being esti-
mated at $25,000,00O, and that on the
Pacific coast, while the state bank
notes fell to $1S3, 100000 making a
net contraction in the currency of
$147, 100000 after allowing for the
500, 600, 900 greenbacks issued that
year The total currency was $685.
100000 The contraction led to an
expansion of the state bank notes in
1868 to a total issue Of $23S, 600, 900,
while the government printing
presses raised the greenbacks to
$3S7, ,600,O making a total of $626, ,2OO,-
900, an expansion of $S45, 100000.
In 1864 the greenbacks reached
flood tide at 100000, aided by
$4,000, 900 national bank notes first
appearing this year, and supplement
ed by $213,100,000 state bank notes,
decrease in the latter of $25, 500, 900,
making a total paper currency of
$7O5,600,000. In 1865, under the threat
of the impending tax on state bank
notes, their issues had fallen to $167,-
100000, and the greenbacks had re-
tired to $431, ,000,O 900, a contraction Of
SCI, 900, 900, more than made good by
the expansion of the nationals to
$171, 800, 900.
By the following year, 1866, the 10
per cent tax had driven the state
bank notes out of circulation, a
contraction of $167 100000, and the
greenbacks had retired until there
were $4OO, 100000 out, making a
Shrinkage in this currency of $685.
100000. The nationals, however, had
expanded to $3.50 O,3OO,O 900, a gain of
$109, 900, 900, leaving a net contraction
of $S7, 100, 900. The nationals reached
highwater mark in 1874, when their
notes amounted to $685., ,20O,0 900, and
the greenbackS, which, under Nc
Culloch's policy of gradual retire
ment, had fallen to $356,O 900, had
risen to 1882, 100000. Since 1878 the
greenbacks have remained stationary
at $346, 100000, while the nationals
fell steadily, under the increase in
values of the bonds deposited as Sc
curity and other causes making note
issues less profitable, until they
touched $122,9OO,O in 1890. But the
silver certificates, appearing in 1878,
have increased to $32S,90O, 900 in 1895,
and the "Shermans," since 1890, have
added $152, 100000.

An Advertising Car.

Will c., Pelot, representing Morgan &
Wright, was in the city yesterday in
advance of the car which arrives Fri
day on an advertising mission. This
firm has started out in this way to
make it's business better known
throughout the country. The expedi-
tion is composed of force of travellers
in the employ of Morgan & Wright,
of Chicago, and it's purpose is to ac-
quaint the bicycle riders and dealers
in about fifty of the principal cities
with the Morgan & Wright quick-re-
pair tire. The Wagner car wan
derer' carries the party. Upon arrival
the members will scatter through the
city, visiting the local dealers. AS the
car progresses from city to city, en-
graved invitations are forwarded in ad-
vance to local clubs and dealers, from
the home office, requesting the recipi-
ents to attend an informal reception ON
board the car in the evening.

NO CIVIL PENSIONS.

The advocates of civil service re-
form should be careful not to allow
themselves to be drawn into the er-
ror made by Mr.. Foulke in his ad-
dress at the annual meeting of the
National Civil Service Reform league.
This is a tentative advocacy of sys-
tenn of old age pensions for employees
who have been long in the public
service. Mr.. Foulke admits that the
tendency of the reform system is to-
ward permanency in office. This is
natural enough. If men are selected
only for fitness, and retained in office
as long as they perform the duties
Of it satisfactorily, then there is
likely to be a life tenure. The SYM
pathy naturally felt for this class Of
employees, who have worked faith
fully during their best years, and
come to the point when their failing
powers are no longer equal to the
daily task, is apt to run away with
judgment. 1t is so in Mr.. Foulke's
case. He admits that these men,
having sought office with full
knowledge of it's conditions, having
drawn their salaries for from ten
to thirty years, or even longer, and
knowing that the time of inability
to work will surely come, ought to
lay up a sufficient amount each year
to support them when incapacitated.
He says, however, truly enough, that
in many cases they will not do this.
He therefore recommends the reten-
ton, by the government, Of a certain
percentage Of the salaries of en-
| ployes each year. to form a, sort of
pension fund out Of which the su-
perannuated may receive modest
| support.
This is neither more nor less than
the system of old age insurance, as
applied to a certain class of federal
employees. 1t grows out Of the weak
| sentimentality that may find exer-
4
else in a paternalistic despotism, but
has no place in republic. Ardently
as we agree with Mr.. Foulke in his
views Of the value and ne
cessity Of civil service reform,
and we'll aware as we are
that he is right in assuming that a
certain number of faithful employees
| will come to want when they are no
| longer able to hold their places, we
have never yet found any warrant,
in any condition Of human society,
to believe that natures laws can be
suspended with impunity. One of
those laws is that man shall pay
the penalty of suffering for the lack

SEASON OF ADVENT.
The Episcopal Church Is Passing
Through That Season.

The Episcopal church, together with
the English church, are now passing
through the season of advent" which
marks the beginning of the church's
new year, and resembles the Lenten
season in character only of lesser
degree. The purple hangings on altar,
pulpit and lecterns emphasize the fact
that it is a penitential season. The Te
Deum is silent and the music partakes
of minor character. In very ancient
times Advent was observed as a sea-
son of special prayer and discipline.
The strict Lenten observance was not,
however, general. Such an observance
still commends itself to many as one
that will form a fitting prefix for the
joys of Christmas, and contemplating
the Lords second coming, which it Is
impossible to dissociate from the
thoughts of His first coming.

less than>it was before the first bond
issue. The very people who say that
it has been depleted by reason of
deficient revenue say that bond
sales have added to it $50, 900, 900 more
than deficient revenues took from it.
Instead of being, therefore, some
$50, 900, 900 less, as it is today, than
it was at the outset, it ought to be
at least $SO,OOO,OOO greater. What
has become of these $50, 900 OF
gold that ought to be in the treas
ury, on the theory of the high-tariff
men, and are not there? Their po-
sition is so absurd that we cannot
believe that they succeed even in
