CORNELL'S TROUBLES.
Two Men on the Sick List, but the Crews
Friends still Confident.

New YORK, July "a special cable
dispatch from Henley to the Mail and
Express says:
Cornells troubles are coming at an
unfortunate time, and with the first
trial heat in the grand challenge cup
series, to be decided to-day. it is un-
fortunate to have to report two men
on the sick list. Hager and Fennell
are not right, and there is some anx-
iety about the latter. as his Temporal
ture reached los Sunday night. In add
dition to this. he was unable either to
sleep or eat. Courtney has had a
touch of it off and on, and at times
has been a very sick man.
Although things are not running as
smoothly as one could wish, it is not
reasonable TO change the opinion that
Cornell will not only win, but that the
way she will do it will be the biggest
kind of a surprise to the Londoners.
Eaton has withdrawn from the grand
challenge cup. and this will give the
Thames Rowing club a row over in the
first heat because the draw will not be
changed

An item charges Nelson Morris with
S19,671, and another declares the re.
ceiver has ?, 914,6Ss gallons OF spirits
in bond.
The court of appeals meets to-day,
but the attorneys for Morris and
Greenhut will not go before the court
at once. Later on they intend to try
and have the decree of sale reversed.
Edwin Walker, who represents Green
hut, said to-day:
we cannot now stop the sale of the
property. Any writ we could obtain
would be returnable in October, and
the property would then be sold.
Should we succeed in getting a re-
versal of the decree of sale, the sale
would be invalidated thereby"
Moran, Kraus & Mayors. who are
the attorneys for the reorganization
committee, have little fear that the
decree will be reversed. They say it
would be against the interests of the
stockholders and creditors to take so
radical step and point out that 34s.-
600 out of the 500 600 shares wanted the
sale and that only 1000 shares OBJ
jected to it.

Ono to Play the Game.
For pleasure, pure and simple, seven
handed euchre clubs may DO cited as
models. The game is played with full
pack Of cards, and the joker is used.
Seven cards are dealt to each player,
giving first three and then four and
leaving four ON the table, This quartet
is dubbed "the widow.
The player on the left Of the dealer
makes the first bid Of 2, 8, A, 8, 6 or 2
tricks, naming the suit, the highest bid
getting it: The bidding is done in turn.
The person who secures tho bid then
selects three other players-partners-
thus pitting four against three. If the
bidder wins, he and his partners each
count the amount bid. If he fails, he is
euchred, and the three opponents count
each the amount bid While one can
play a quiet, steady game, taking no
risks, and holding high cards or the

Awell known electrical authority has

and to which many delicate persons may
attribute the deprivation Of the full en-.
joyment of their homes The cost OF
operating an electric elevator in, say, q
five story house, making 80 or 60 trips
every day, will not exceed 90 or 81 per

elevators have been so improved that an
invalid or a child can manage them.

Housekeeping at Samoa.

Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson seys that
housekeeping in Samoa was nOS so idyl.
Lie as it might seem. Her supplies came
from New Zealand or Australia once a
month, SO that if she wanted bottle Of
bluing or a bag Of -four, for instance,
she had to send half across the Pacific to
get 1t. The native diet was all we'll
enough for a few weeks, but as it con-
sisted almost solely Of fruit and fish it
began to pail on European palates+
Housekeeping in this South Sea paradise
(of romances) had other drawbacks, par.
ticularly in the matter Of expense,
which was fully six or seven times as
great, Mrs. Stevenson says, as living on
a corresponding scale in San Francisco.
As for society, "there's more Of it to the
square inch in Samoa than in any other
place I know" says Mrs. Stevenson, but
1t appears to be largely Of the living
picture kind.

DEMANDS OF slLvERlTEs,
They Ask More For Silver Than Has Ever
Been Granted to Gold.

They Ask More For Silver Than Has Ever
Been Granted to Gold.
One Of the claims made by the advo-
Gates Of silver is that the government
should treat both metals alike. How
does the government treat gold? For
every 23.2 grains Of pure bullion de-
posted in the mint the owner receives
gold dollar weighing 25. grains and
nine-tenths fine. The government stamp
adds nothing to the value Of the metal.
It simply certifes to that value and
puts the metal in form convenient for
use. Everywhere in the world gold thus
coined is worth 81. If you go to Eu-
rope, the little piece Of gold is worth
81. If your house burns down, the little
lump Of gold that was worth 81 pre-
vious to the fire will be worth 81 at airy
jewelers. anywhere.
The advocates Of free silver do not
want silver treated this way. Oh, no!
They ask for more. They ask that the
owner Of silver bullion be permitted to
take 1t to the mint and have the govern
ment stamp 371L 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 SO cents. They ask
that the government stamp, its fiat, to
10 extent Of AZ cents, shall be put on
every 50 cents worth Of silver they take
to the mint. Say the house burns again.
The piece Of silver worth 81 the night
before because Of the stamp only Is only
worth 50 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 81 because Of its value
the world over; the other stamped
81, and worth but SO cents anywhere.
II we are to have fiat money, why not
have it all fiat, and not AZ cents fat?
II we are to have fat money, let It be
paper. But the silver people claim that

And whirls beneath the old brush fence
Makes music in my ear today;
IT'S one of natures instruments.
I seem to hear 1t dash along,
Impatient at the hind ring stones,
Yet leaping gayly in its song
OF mingled Joy and monotones.

A softened sense Of worldly pain
The cadence Of that brook song glad
Restored my happy self again.

To which this noisy world gives vent

"More men pay IS and upward for
q pocketknife than less. That may not
be the experience Of all cutlery dealers,
but that's the kind Of trade we cater
to-" said knife expert from behind
the counter Of store on one Of the most
freQuented Of down town streets.
"Spaniards spend the most money for
knives" he continued. "Spaniards who
come here are very fastidious in the
matter Of cutlery anyway. Where an
American family in the same circum-
stances will be content with the ordina-
~ plated tableware, costing "a or "a. 80
dozen, a Spaniard will have nothing
but the finest steel with ivory handles,
at $18 and over. The average business
man spends usually about e3 for four

as many men do, he comes down to 81,
then to 81. Most expensive knives are
bought for presents. -Four dollars buys
an excellent gift. Last season many
knives were given for prizes at eucher
parties. Such knives were usually the
fancy ones, with half dozen blades or
attachments. That big Z inch knife
there is hunters knife. It costs 81.
IA man who buys that will take it
to the Adirondacks, and when he leaves
there present it to his guide. We have
one customer who buys three Of those
knives every year. He gives them to his
guides, he says. We sell nearly 150-of
them every year. This heavy oY8 here
with a big steel hook is hdrseman's

ments, such as a corkscrew, screwdriver,
nut cracker, awl, gimlet and a score Of
things for other useful or useless pur-
poses, according to the point Of view.
We sell many Of them, probably more
than any other one kind. Sailors usual
" buy pretty good knives. They and
Italians go in for big, sharp knives that
should be handy in case Of defense.

In the Audience.
attended recent performance given
by some amateur actors and actresses
very good they were, too-and while I
enjoyed the stage entertainment I was
not unmindful Of the one that was in
progress directly behind me.
1t was furnished by an old lady and
two young ones-when I say young
ones" I don't mean children-and its
beginning antedated the overture in this
style:
"Can you read the programme, moth
err"
"Why, yes; but it must be wrong.
Here's Annie's name down, and it says
she's a servant thought you said she
was an actress"
"Only servant in the play, mother. "
"But that seems kind of mean thing
to play. She doesn't have to do that,
goodness knowsr'
"She has to play whatever they give
her to play. She's beginner. you
know"
"Well, I wouldn T begin that way"
annie" appeared presently.
She said, Eyes, my lady," and "No.
your lordship," and II will tell her
ladyship that you are here" and few
more Summers Of that sort very well, I
thought.
But when the French count with the
pointed beard chucks her under the chin
could hear the old lady behind me GET
ting into fine rage.
"Well, the ide1'of our Annie letting
a man do thing like thati''
"But. mother, that's in the play"
II don't care II it is. I suppose he'll
kiss her later on ! The idea!''
Well, he did kiss her shortly after and
got good slap in the face for his pains
The old lady almost rose in her seat.
"Good, goodr' she cried in q very
audible voice.
II thought Annie wouldn Z stand any
thing Of that sortP'
She objected to the young girls little
love affairs with the footman, however,
and could hardly be kept in her chair
when the two plighted their troth.
II don't call that play acting" she
said. "They were just like two serv.
ants, and / don't like it."
When the curtain dropped, they all
went around to the stage door, and
somehow I felt sorry for Annie, coming
from the stage full Of hot enthusiasm,

AGAINST FREE SILVER.
Unlimited Coinage Would Make America
the Dumping Ground.

Unlimited Coinage Would Make America
the Dumping Ground.
At the Iowa Republican convention,
held at Des Moines on July 10, the Hon.
Joseph R. Lane, temporary chairman,
made the following reference to the sill
yer question:
Silver being necessary in the money
of the world, We must either maintain
its coinage at par by legislative limita-
ton OF the amount or change the COIN
age ratio Of the basis Of its market val
ne. Under the policy Of legislative limi-
tation Of the amount, aided by redemp.
ton when in excess Of demand, we have
been able to maintain at par our silver
coin, although its intrinsic value is
much less. This policy was satisfactory
80 long as the price Of silver continued
high, but when 1t became reduced, on
account Of overproduction and other
causes, there sprung up q demand by the
producers Of silver for special silver leg
islation. This claim has now crystal
Nzed into demand for free and unlim-
tied coinage Of gold and silver at the
ratio Of 16 to 1. This means to give to
every man, to every nation, the right
to deposit at the minis Of the United
States silver in unlimited quantity and
to demand and receive in return, free Of
charge or cost, that silver coined into
money at the ratio Of 10 to /, bearing
the stamp Of our government
In my Judgment such policy will
make America the dumping ground Of
silver for the world. 1t means we would
be brought at once to silver basis. It
means the degradation Of our dollar to
80 cents. It means reputation. It will
bring an avalanche of silver, but a rest
for labor. The Republicans Of Iowa op-
pose this. In the state Of Iowa If we
owe debt, we expect to pay 1t in money
worth 100 cents on the dollar, In money
Of equal purchasing power with any
other money Of the world. If any one
owes us, we demand and expect pay
ment in money Of equal value. This is
a vital question to all classes. The farm
er, the laborer, the merchant, the man.
ufacturer, all classes have an interest in
the maintenance Of good currency. The
dollar they receive for their productions
and labor should have the highest pur-
chasing power and be as good as the best
purchasing dollar In the world Upon q
sound currency depends to large e.
tent the development, the prosperity,
tho success and the maintenance Of our
people.
