SENATOR BRICE's OBJECT.
Wants Ohio Democrats to Declare for
Sound Money.

Wants Ohio Democrats TO Declare 1Of
Sound Money.
COLI MBUS, Ohio, August S.-A very
close friend of Senator Brice today said
to the representative of the Associated
Press, in regard to the position which the
Senator occupied in the contest pending
amongst democrats of Ohio, that his sole
object is to obtain in the coming state con-
vention an expression for good money.
He wishes the integrity Of the democratic
party to be made secure. All other mat
tiers which naturally belong to the canvass
going on, and matters which do not legiti-
mately belong to 1t, things injected into 1t,
are of minor consideration.
So far as concerns the candidates on
state and county tickets for the members
of the general assembly and the selection
of United States Senator by the conven-
tion or by the people. he cares nothing
about in comparison with the main object
to be attained, and it is not his intention to
engage in any side issues merely to detract
from the ultimate aim.
Out of $50 delegates elected to the state
convention 400 are said by this gentleman
to be for sound money.

His Serene Higbness Harden Hickey
Desires Recognition.
AND NOW The TYCOON OF TRINIDAD
His Grand Chancellor Has Audience
at the State Department.
AIRS GREAT BRITAIN

NJ. lie Comte de la Boissiere, who calls
himself grand chancellor of the principally
of Trinidad, secured an audience with Act
ing Secretary Adee at the State Depart
ment this afternoon, and formally renewed
the request previously preferred in writing
for the recognition by the United States of
the neutrality rights Of the so-called prin-
cipality Of Trinidad. of which Baron
Harden Hickey is the alleged sovereign,
under the name of James /. Inasmuch as
NJ. de la Boissiere does not speak English
at all fuently, the conference with Mr..
Adee was conducted in the French Ian
guage. in which tongue the acting secre-
tary is an adept. NJ. Boissiere reinforced
his argument in favor of the recognition
of the South American principality with
pamphlet in English descriptive of Trini-
dad, and embodying information in regard
to its establishment as a principality by
Baron Hickey two years ago. Nothing in
regard to the conference could be learned
In addition to what has been already
stated. There is reason to believe, how
ever. that Mr.. Adee gave his visitor no
special ground for hope of the formal
recognition Of the so-called principality by
implied in a promise to submit the matter
to the Secretary Of State at his earliest
convenience.
The Grand Chancellor Talks.
Count Bofssiere fas apartments at the
Cochran and is accompanied by Cen Bess-
Ter of New York, in the capacity of counsel
and general advisor. The count speaks of
Baron Hickey as Ibis serene hiRhness,"
and has expressed the opinion that it would
be highly agreeable to him If Great Britain
should land cable on Trinidad 1.-The
principally would then be in touch with
the rest of the world said the grand
chancellor, land our plan of peoplfng it
and establishing an Industrial system would
be materially advanced. But Great Britain
must not take possession of the island
Much trouble will be averted if the United
states government shall act favorably
upon our apr ZEAL"
The following is copy of the state docu-
ment of the Trinidad chancellery now in
the possession of the State Department

But the sultan's Affection Made the Opera
tion Mild One.
Odd stories are coming from Constan-
tinople in connection with the recent
earthquakes. One has been told of Gjus-
suf Block, physician to the sultan. The
earthquake damaged the part of the
palace in which he lives, and suddenly
two favorite wives of the sultan were
precipitated through the ceiling into
the Doctors room. All three fled from
the building before it collapsed and
found the sultan himself in the court
yard
The stern practice of Islam left the
sultan no choice but to tie up his two
wives in sacks and plunge them into the
Bosporus, they having been gazed upon
by profane giaour. Fortunately the
sultan cherished affection for both of
them, and having consulted the grand
mutt he saw his way to have them pun
ished symbolically. They were put into
sacks which were properly sewed up
and duly taken to sequestered spots on
the banks of the Bosporus and in the
presence of a number of praying imams
gently dipped into the soft, blue waters
after which the women were deemed to
be purified They were then removed to
new home and restored to their con-
jugal rights. London Truth.

A Man Who Looked on Calmly While the
Surgeons Cut on His Foot. *
Thomas Z. Byrnes. a molder, had a
portion of his right foot crushed by be-
ing run over by Lake Roland car yes
terday morning, which necessitated the
amputation of about one-half Of the foot
During the amputation Byrnes gave one
of the most stolid exhibitions of nerve
and impassiveness to pain ever witness
ed. Drs. r. F. Blake and Geer made
preparations to put their patient under
the influence of chloroform for this pur-
pose, but when Byrnes was informed of
what they were about to do he amazed
them by telling them togo ahead with
the cutting, but that he didn't want a
narcotic. The physicians feared he
couldn't stand it, robust as he is, and
plainly told him so, but Byrnes was
firm and said he would get through it
all right.
Then the surgeons proceeded as gem
tly as possible. The pain must have been
terrible. Just imagine taking knife
and sinking it down into the flesh, sever
ing bones and jointsl Its enough to
make one shudder, said a bystander, a
surgeon, too, accustomed to the horrors
of surgical hospital. But Byrnes never
even WINGED. He sat in the chair with
folded arms, braced himself against the
back of the seat and watched the move
ments of the knife. There was no moan,
no rolling of the eyes, no twitching-
absolutely no indication of the terrible
pain except the pallor of his face. The
operation over. Byrnes thanked the sur
geons, who seemed to be far more con-
cerned and anxious that the job come
| to an end than the heroic patient. - Bal
