thought that the position was challenge
for fight, for he had been learned this by

GlADSTONE'S GREETING
He Speaks to the Chicago Press Club
bY Letter,

He Speaks to the Chicago Press Club
by Letter.
The Press Club of Chicago has had an
address from some speaker of distinction
in the Auditorium every year for several
years. They invited Mr.. Gladstone for
1895 and the mayor Of Chicago supple
nented the request with a cordial letter
inviting Mr. Gladstone and his family.
These letters were sent to Depew to be
forwarded with personal letter from
him. The following is Mr.. Gladstone's
anBwer:
stHawarden Castle, Chester, Nov. 5,
1895--Dear Mr.. DepeW: | have had the
honor to receive your letter Of the goth
u}t, which forwaded to me the invitation
OF the press club, accompanied and
countenanced by the gracious address OF
the mayor of the great city of Chicago.
81 cannot too strongly express my
sense of the honor thus done me and l
wish to add that in my opinion no cause
more sacred and none more ur-
gent than that Of the Armen-
ians has ever been brought be-
fore the citizens Of humane and en-
lightened countries. 1t is for the mo-
ment enveloped, Sc far as the public are
concerned, in uncertainty, and yet there
are Indications that the handwriting on
the wall which warned one ancient des-
pot of his coming doom, has again been
traced visibly enough to betoken some
approaching crash Of q system of gov
eminent far more impious and iniquit-
Gus.
with these feelings I still must not
blind myself to the facts Of my situation.
After my long public life can attempt
no public action without considering
much besides the truth and even the i'm
portance of what I might have to say,
and I am far from convinced that my
undertaking a public progress (for such
it would be- at the present time would
be beneficial to the Armenian cause.
all reasoning on such a question is cut
short by an undesirable physical unfit
ness. The blessing of good health is
still vouchsafed to me, but diminished
strength, imperfect vision, and growing
deafness incapacitaIe HE from public ef-
lions might lead me to undertake, and
confine\ my Intercourse with others to
what is purely private and of very re-
stricted character. send this reply with
much regret, but with too full an assur-
ance of it's necessity.
I'm conclusion let me hope that the
influence Of our great and in such mat
ter necessarily impartial country, will be
powerfully used in the cause of right. l
remain with much respect, dear MIR. De-
pew, very faithfully yours,

A DEAD CARDINAL.
Lucien Bonaparte Doub,y Related to
the Great Napoleon.

Cardinal Lncien Bonaparte, who re-
Gently died at Rome from appoplexy
aged 81, was one Of the best known MEN,
bers of the College Of Cardinals.
He was doubly related to the first Ma
pollen. His father, Prince Charles Bona
parte, was the son of Lucien Bonaparte,
the second brother of Napoleon; and his
mother, Princess Zenalde BOaaparte, was
daughter Of Joseph Bonaparte, Oldest
brother Of the Emperor, and at one time
King Of Naples, and, subsequently, King
of Spain. Cardinal Bonaparte was the
head Of that branch of the Bonaparte fam
lily which descends from the second broth
er of the great Emperor, and, besides his
ecclesiastic dignity as a. Cardinal, he had
the titles Of Prince Bonaparte and Prince
of Canine and Musignano.
When Napoleon /. had himself pro-
claimed Emperor of the French in 1894,
he restricted the succession to the new
crown to his own descendants and to
those of his brothers Joseph and Louis,
excluding TWO other brothers, Lucien and
jerome, because they had contracted
marriages not in accordance with the
views and wishes of the ruler of France.
Jerome subsequently, obtained his power
full brothers favor by DESERVING his Am
erican wife and marrying a European
Princess: but Lucien. who once had been
very useful to Napoleon at a very critical
point in the latters career, was more
honorable man. He spurned the offer of
a crown. AS, a consequence, llcien' S
younger brother Louis, whom Napoleon
made King of Holland, retained the po-
sition which at a later day enabled Louis
Napoleon, the son OF Louis to regard him
self as the heir of the LIST Emperor. When
the empire was restored, jerome Bona
parte, then the only surviving brother OF
the first Napoleon. was recognized as a
French Prince and possible successor to
the imperialthrome but the family of LII
Glen received no such recognition at the
hands OF the second Emperor.
The younger Lucien Bonaparte was
born in Rome AS a young man he took
orders as a. priest. Before he was 40
years old Pope PiuslX. made him a Car
dinal. French newspapers amused them
selves by discussing the chances OF his
elevation to the Papa|2y, io1rt such chances
never existed. He held the dignity OF
Cardinal twenty seven years, and, IN
point of seniority, was lately surpassed
by only two members OF the Sacred Col

Scientific BkmetaIism.

ANY number of definitions of what
is meant by the term bimetalism"
have been offered by the advocates OF
the restoration of silver, but the fol-
lowing by Mr.. William II. Harvey is
about the best and most scientific
definition as yet given. The author OF
COINS Financial School" thus de-
fines bimetalism:
81. Free and unlimited coinage OF
both gold and silver; these two metals
to constitute the primary or redemp-
ton money of the government.
"2. The silver dollar of 37ls grains
of pure silver to be the unit of value
and gold to be coined into money at q
ration to be changed, if necessary
from time to time, if the commercial
parity to the legal ration shall be af.
fected by the action of foreign coun'
tries.
"3. The money coined from both
metals TO be legal tender in the pay
ment OF all debts.
"a. The option as to which of the
two moneys is to be paid in the liqui.
dation of debt to rest with the debtor
and the government also to exercise
that option, when desirable, when pay.
ing out redemption money"

Church Built Of Oranges.
St, Louis Republic.


The Legrindo Valley Tropical Fruit
company of Palermo, Jamaica, recent
ly made one OF the oldest exhibits inn
aginable. 1t was nothing more nor
less than n perfect miniature church
of oranges, an exact model in every
particular of the Church of St. Fran
cis, the oldest Catholic edifice in the
valley. In carrying out the details OF
this unique design model OF old ST.
Francis was made OF boards, the size
being one-seventh that OF the original
WOrkmen from the inside worked sew
eral days in driving rows of spikes
through the boards. When this was
finished, the pygmy church looked
like some monstrous freak of the por-
cupine tribe, closely covered with
bristling iron points from foundation
to the apex of the well-proportioned
spire.
Every orange grower in the valley
contributed from peck to five bush
els of oranges. These were carefully
sized and slipped over the nail points,
and in very short time the unsightly
structure became small but beauti.
full church of golden yellow oranges.
not nail or section OF framework be-
ing visible. Every morning during
the ten days Of festivities which fol-
lowed, the oranges OF the day before
were replaced by fresh ones. 1t is es-
timated that upward OF 1000 bushels
OF fruit were used for this purpose
This appears to be u great waste of Or
anges, but the exhibitors are of the
opinion the advertising will repay the
loss several fold.

Expensive Wine.

The most expensive wine manufac-
tured is not champagne. as most peo-
pie imagine. A Washington Post re-
porter while dining at one OF the lead
ing restaurants of the city in looking
over the wine list discovered a species
which is seldom quoted in bill of
fare. 1t is Rhine wine from the pri-
vate vineyard of Prince Metternich
and sells for IS II quart. A wine ex-
pert present said the vineyard is on
the side of hill overlooking the
Rhine which is not accessible except
to human feet. AS a result all the
work has to be done by hand. The
grapes have to be carried down the
hill on the shoulders of men, and in
like manner the fertilizer has to be
transported up the declivity. The
sun shines on the vineyard only ut
certain hours OF the day, and in this
way the grape receives flavor that
distinguishes the wine from that OF
any other Rhine brand.
Bring us a bottle OF Metternich,"
said the wine expert to the waiter.
1" Don't be alarmed" he added in ans
wer to the protest of his friends MS the
waiter disappeared. There's not a
restaurant in Washington that can
fill the order, III guarantee"
The waiter soon returned and whis-
pered something in his ear.
"He says he has some fine Rhine
wine ut Sl.75 a quart, but they're just
out of the Metternich brand" said the
wine expert with faint smile. 81
thought so. Bring us bottle OF sau-
terne."
