Accompanying this sketch is the
portrait of Gen. Andreas Avelino
Caceres, the depossd president Of
Peru. The rebellion which has
convulsed the republic for year
past has ended with the forming
Of provincial government with
representatives of both factions.
Ex-President Caceres was born in
the city Of Ayacucho, Nov. 10, 1886,
and has been in the Peruvian mil
itary service since his eighteenth
year. In 1885 he overthrow Dicta-
tator Iglesis who had been placed
in power by the Chilisns, and the
following year was elected presi.
dent. He served four years and
and was succeeded by General Ber-
mudez. General Bermudez died a
year ago and General Caceres, then
second vice president, was pro.
claimed Dictator, and elected pres
ident May 10. This was unsatis.
factory to certain factions who
thought that first vice president
Pedro a del Solar, should succeed
to the presidency. Hence the rev.
olution which has resulted in the
overthrow Of President Caceres.

morning advocating a sewerage sys-
tenn for the West side, We learn
the city is not financially able to
put in a system complete and the
citizens living along several streets,
have Clipped in and had sewer pipes
laid to the canal, which is an excel
lent idea, and in time the city would
become severed entire by this meth
cd, What the TExARKANTAN thinks
would be proper would be for the
the city to pay for a pipe leading
along the East bank of the canal
where all pipes could empty and the
refuse be carried out of the city in
stead of being dumped into the
heart OF the city as it is now being
done. Let a move Of this kind take

The parting stone.-

Among the old landmarks yet re-
naming in the Roxbury district, one
of the most interesting is a large stone
at the corner of Center and Roxbury
streets, known rs the Parting Stone"
On its northerly side it directs to Cam
bridge and Watertown, and on its
southerly side TO Dedham and Rhode
Island. The front inscription is as fol-
lows: "The Parting Stone, 1744, p. Dud-
ley" It is said that Lord Peary's SOL
diers read its inscription as they passed
1T by on their way to Lexington one hot
April forenoon, and it has afforded in
formation to the tired wayfarer for
many year. This is durable and WIS.,
ible memorial of man whose benefac-
tons to the church, to the school.and
TO the town of Roxbury were frequent,
and were gratefully acknowledged

WHO ARE THE pEsToRs7
of the Dishonesty OF Frce
Silver RoOters.

Indications of the Dishonesty of Free
Silver Rooters.
The advocate of the free coinage OF
silver seeks popular support of his idea
on the ground that the large increase OF
money, and cheap money at that, would
he of direct benefit to the large army OF
comparatively poor men who come I'M
der the class of debtors, because they
commonly are borrowers in a small
way. Indeed, the greatest strength
which the free silver craze has secured
has come from the mistaken notion
that free coinage would improve the
condition of the poor man.
This view is contradicted by Prof.
Farnham in an article in the Yale Re-
view. At the outset he asks: "Who are
the debtors? Who would be most bene-
fitted by being given a 50-cent dollar to
pay debts with?" He then points out
that the railroads are among the great
est debtors, their mortgages five years
ago footing up to the enormous total of
So, los, 100000. Probably 60 per cent OF
this Indebtedness is payable in gold,
and in order to meet it under free silver
an advance in rates would be necessary.
So the western farmers with small
debts would find themselves worse off
than now, even if permitted to square
their accounts with 50-cent dollars
And all corporations are great Dor
rowers. Steamship, telegraph, tele-
phone, gas, street car and other COM
nanies are heavy debtors, and their
profits from a half-price dollar would
be many times that of the small bor-
rover. The banks owe their patrons
sums reaching into the billions, and
free silver would enable them to meet
these obligations by the payment of so
cents on the dollar. Many depositors.
especially in the savings banks, are
poor people, and so per cent. shrink
age in their small surplus would II be
burtlensome, if not directly conducive
to suffering.
These points are sufficient TO show
that the dishonest purpose of the free
silver men would work great hardship
to just the classes it's promoters affect
to believe it would benefit. Here and
there some debt-burdened individual
would profit by tn cheap dollar, but for
every one thus assisted there would be
dozen who would suffer. The corpo-
rations are the big borrowers, and to
them would come the big profits from
the depreciation of the currency in
volved in the free and unlimited coinage
of silver.-Troy Times.

Designs FOR Embroidery.

All kinds of lace stitches are much
used in filling in natural and leaf, flow
err and conventional designs done upon
white and colored linen embroideries.
The design is first outlined and then
covered with network OF stitches.
This kind of work is best suited to large
designs done upon table-covers. sofa
pillows, hangings and counterpanes.
The stitches used are "the honeycomb,-
familiar 10 workers of point-lace, the
darning stitch, the herringbone stitch
and number of others. Buttonhoie
and overcast stitches are used TO out
line the designs. Herringbone stitch
taken across the width of leaf is liked
Tor filing in narrow and long leaves.
Sometimes small French knot is
worked in the space between the
stitches.--N. Y. Post.

PLANS OF THE SILvERITES.
Some of the Presumptuous Claims of
White Metal Howiers

Some of the Presumptuous Claims of
White Metal Howiers.
The congressional contest down in
the 18th Illinois district Is unique
in many respects. The most sig
nificant feature of the democratic can
vass, however, is the evident purpose Of
the free coinage advocates to use the
natural democratic majority in the dis
trict as great triumph" for the white
metal fiatists. While Mr.. Hinrichsen's
free silver plank was inserted in the
platform adopted by the democratic con-
vention without any pronounced pro-
tests, it cannot be said that the voters of
the district are particularly impressed
with the idea that the silver controver-
sy of the west is to be settled in that dis
trict.
1t is true that formidable nggrega-
ton of 50-cent orators has been turned
loose on the voters of the district. Illi-
nois democracy was not rich enough in
campaign oratory to supply the needs
of the campaign. Such men as Morri-
son, Black and Palmer do not answer
Mr.. Hinrichsen's purpose. Instead OF
these the a.ch-blatherskite Bland, the
blantanant Bryan and silverwbeelStone
are stumping the district.preaching the
sixteen to one fallacy. 1t is hoped that
the voters of the Eighteenth district
will note the fact that the Missouri and
Nebraska calamity howlers have been
turned down in their own states. They
are certainly out of place in prosperous
Illinois.
But in spite of the work of the white
metal howlers in the district there is lit
tie probability that the voters are AK
ing them seriously. The meetings have
been poorly attended and there has
been no enthusiasm. The indications
are that the voters will divide ON party
lines as usual with little reference to
the silver Issue. If they do, it means
the reelection of Mr.. Lane to congress
by the normal democratic majority,
which the district has given for several
years until the last election, when Mr..
Lane went out under the republican
tidal wave that swept over the country.
To claim it as u victory for free silver
would be the height of consummate fol-
ly. The people could not be fooled by
any such Misrepresentation

HAS GOLD RiSEN7
Facts Which Belle the Bogy Talk nj
Silyerftcs,

Facts Which Belle the Bogy Talk nj
Silveritcs.
1t is singular fact that the method
of showing that the general level of
prices has greatly fallen, and that there
fore the gold dollar has risen, is to take
the statistics of prices in great centers
us final basis. Wheat is cheaper In
London in 1895 than it was in 1S45---
much cheaper; so is cotton; so is corn
the three great staples. Therefore, say
our friends, gold has risen, and the
debtor, the farmer and the producer are
robbed This, with little bogy talk
about shylocks, England and Wall
street, is all there is of their argument.
Now, if we ask what the Ohio farmer
received fifty years ago for his wheat
and corn,we come upon the fact-which
must be a disagreeable one for the
cheap-inoney men-that he did not get
ms much then as he does to-day. No
books of statistics take any account CT
the prices obtained by the Ohio farmer
in 1s45; and our statistical friends, over
looking Tor remembering to forget")
the difference in transportation and
other conditions then and now, con-
yenientIy assume that because wheat
was higher in London in 1916 than now,
the Ohio farmer must have been roll
ing in wealth. In the '40s the Ohio
farmer seldom got 20 cents bushcl for
his corn, and frequently burned it up;
and men still living can remember how,
in those glorious bimetallic days, the
farmer got but 25 cents bushel for his
wheat. In those times the western
farmer lived chiefly by consuming his
own products, buying almost nothing.
1t is too clear for argument or dispute
that it has been railroads, teIegraphs,
produce exchanges aud such like means
of facilitating exchange, and not gold
or silver, that have caused the fall of the
great staples in commercial centers--a
fact easily verifiable by any western
man who will consult the Oldest resi-
dents of his town.-Charles S. Ashley,
in Popular Science Monthly.
