puts the metal Ill form convenient for use. Everywhere in the world gold thus coined is worth $1. If you go to Flu rope, the little piece of gold is worth $1 If your house burns down, the little lump of gold that was worth $1 pre- vious to the fire will be worth $1 at any jewellers anywhere.
 The advocates of free silver do not want silver treated this way. Oh, mol They ask for more. They ask that the owner of silver bullion bepermitted to take it to the mint and have the govern ment stamp 3711 grains, with the necessary alloy, as dollar of equal legal tender with the gold dollar when today the value of the bullion in the dollar is worth only 53 cents. They ask that the government stamp, its fiat, to the extent of 47 cents, shall be put on every 53 cents worth of silver they take to the mint. Say the house burns again. The piece of silver worth $1 the night before because ofAthe stamp only is only worth 53 cents when taken to the jew eler
 Don't you see that the silver people are asking more from the government for silver than was ever granted by any government in the world for gold? One metal stamped $1 because of its value the world over; the other stamped $1, and worth but 53 cents anywhere. If we are to have fiat money, why not have it all fiat, and not AT cents fiat? If we are to have fiat money, let 1t be paper. But the silver people claim that if the government passes free coinage of silver bill silver will immediate ly jump in price from now being worth 53 cents for 3714 grains to 100 cents for the same amount. Do you believe it? Some people are almost willing to believe that the moon is made of green cheese. Humboldt (Tenn.) Messenger.

The events which have crowded into this

in favor of women in the United States

1t was in 1910 at the worlds antdslavery
convention, held in London, that Mrs.
Stanton, who had gone thither on her
wedding trip, was fully aroused to her
life's work. The convention was thunder

the women delegates, who were Lucretia

ABOUT MoTHER-OF-PEARL.

Millions of Shells Are Needed Annually for
the Manufacture of Buttons.
"They that go down to the sea in
ships to do business in great waters"
are more numerous that we land-Iovers
imagine. If we pause for minute and
think of the countless pearl buttons
that are daily sold and utilized, all over
the world, we may then realize the
quantity of oyster shells required to
supply this demand.
The shells from which our pearl but
tons are obtained are quite large,
weighing about three-quarters of
pound apiece. They are shipped to us
from Australia. The accompanying
sketch illustrates the manner in which
shell is usually diagrammed before it is
sent to the factory. The long narrow
strip at the top forms one of the mother
of-pearl pen holders now SO popular for
holiday gifts. The straight strips are
generally made into handles of pocket
knives, but the curved piece in the up
per right hand corner is saved, either to
fitted into the handle of large carving
knife or to adorn a pistol stock. The
large buttons are generally cut from
the center of the shell, while the small
er ones extend along the'outer edge.
After the diagramming is finished,
the shell is sent to the factory to be cut,
filed, chiseled, grooved and polished,
and when this is finished the buttons
are carded and ready for market. The

perhaps two exceptions the owner of

as bright local news is concerned, and
the most deplorable phase of the fact is
that women have proven success in
newspaper work without any hippo
6rome heralding of such success.

call of Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, Martha G. Wright and Mary Ann
McClintock. The ninth resolution was
introduced by Mrs. Stanton, and after
great discussion was adopted by O small
majority. It read:
Resolved, That it is the duty of the
women of this country to secure to them
selves their right to the elective franchise. J"
Elizabeth Cady Stanton is the first
woman in America who dared to place on
record a request for the enfranchisement
of women. Lucretia Mott and others Of
her associates at that time considered such
a resolution too radical.
The Results of Her Life Work.
Almost half q century has passed since
that memorable meeting. Since then,
what?
Lucy Stone has lived and died. Will
liam Lloyd Garrison, Wendell Phillips,
Abraham Lincoln, George William Curtis
and host of other distinguished men have
lifted up their voices for the cause, and the
number Of women actually enlisted in it
even here in America is SO large as to be
difficult to compute, while there are great
hosts in England, France, Canada, the
Australian lands and other foreign coun-
tries.
Mrs. Stanton has lived to sec Cornell,
Oberlin and Johns Hopkins open their
doors to women and graduate them on
equal terms with men; she has seen Rad
cliffe, Wellesley, Vassar, Smith, Barnard
and other institutions for the higher
education of women rise and flourish; she
saw Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell,
the first woman minister in the United
States, early in the flfties, and she sees to-
day, by official statistics at Washington,
1885. In other professions and higher oc-
equations the growth has been equally re-
markable and the women physicians are
numbered by scores Of thousands In Amer
lea. In England the way is now almost
entirely clear for them. The degrees at
the universities of London, Durham, Ire
land, Edinburgh, Glasgow and St. An
drews, the medical colleges Of Edinburgh,
Glasgow and Ireland and the license of
Apothoceries' Hall are now all open to
women.
Such are few signs of progress which
Mrs. Stanton has lived to see blazed along
the worlds highway. Science, religion,
art, philosophy, Yhiinnthropy and state
craft all chow tendency toward converg-
ing into force in the twentieth century
which will bring the dawn of higher
civilization in which women will represent
half Of the political power.

Sudden Death.

J. NJ. White, an elderly gentle
man, was found dead at his home
in Kikihale shortly after 7 am.
Sunday. He was seen in his back
yard at 6 am. by Sam Kamakau,
OF Lovejoy 81 Co. When found, he
was on the floor between the wall
and the bed with his eyes and
mouth open. He had been ailing
for some time, and was confined to
his bed for two or three days pre-
vious to his death. DIR. Emerson
made an examination of the body
and pronounced paralysis the cause
of the mans death. The deceased
was at one time employed by the
Tramways Company as track super
