A SILVER OPINION.
THE MOVEMENT FOR ADVANCE NOT
BASED UPON JAPAN'S DEMAND
FOR GOLD.
The Internal Condition of Japan
Necessitates a Silver Based Cur
rency and This Will Keep Silver
With Its Head Above Water.


Brush, secretary OF the Consolidated
Kansas City Smelling and Refining
company, who is recognized au-
thority on all matters pertaining
to the recent rise in silver, its cause
and the probable future OF the met
al, in an interview, said among
other things: without doubt it is
expected that the cessation OF hos
tilities between Japan and China
trade demands will increase the
demand for silver. 1t is now be.
ing whispered by those failing to
see the real cause for the advance,
that the indemnity bond with ia.
pan will be in gold and not in sill
yer, and that for this reason the
speculative movement will fail.
My opinion is that there are legitt-
mate good reasons for consider
able advance, but doubtless on &C
count of the erroneous opinion
that speculation has been based
upon the expected indemnity,
should this be in gold, may have
a temporary effect to check
the advance. 1t was my privilege
to gain about two months ago,
from one of the financial advisers
of the Japanese government, their
expectation in connection with
this indemnity-this was that it
would be demanded and paid in
gold. Notwithstanding what has
been said to the contrary, the Jap
anese government does not desire
to place it's currency upon gold
basis, neither does it believe that
it would be possible for China to
arrange with European bankers to
deplete the gold treasures Of
Europe to the extent Of the indem-
| nifty which it will demand. 1t does
expect, however, that this gold in
demnity will be placed to the credit
of Japan in the trade centers of Eu-
rope and will be used there as
banking capital to make such pur-
chasos Of silver, war supplies and
general equipment as niece ssities
require. The Japanese govern
ment has during the war issued
internal loans for 25O,OOO,OO0 yen
in silver. AS it's banking credit
will bring them in only one per cent
interest in Europe, and as its
silver debt is costing six to eight
per cent in Japan, it will certainly
be to the interest of the Japanese
government to buy silver as fast
as can be done judiciously, with its
gold credit, to repay its interna-
tional loan.
The expression Of English critics
of the belief that Japan will go on
a gold basis, is father to their wish.
The endeavor of the English gov
eminent to place India upon gold
basis has so far been a most dismal
failure, resulting in placing the
exchange of India fifteen to twenty
per cent above the exchange of
China and Japan. This has re-
suited in large decreased eXporta-
tions from India and large in
| creased expectations from Japan.
Should japan place her finances
upon a gold basis she would i'm
mediately lose this advantage and
place it in the hands OF her prin-
cipal rival, China, which must con-
tinue upon a silver basis. The
japanese are shrewd enough to see
this situation and to govern them
selves thereby"

OSCAR WILDE LIBEL SUIT.

LONDON, April 3.-Every avail
able inch Of the old Bailey was &C.
cupied this morning when the libel
suit brought by Oscar Wilde
against the Marquis OF Queens
bury was opened before
Justice Collins. Oscar Wilde
charges the Marquis with libel by
leaving an uncovered card at the
Albemarle club, on which card was
written certain foul epithets. The
Marquis was placed in the docket
and answered to the indictment by
pleading first not guilty, and sec
Ondly, that the libel was true and
it was published for the public
good.
Sir Edward Clarke, formerly so.
licitor general, in openin the case
said the card left at the Albemarle
club for Wilde was one Of the Wis.
iting cards of the Marquis OF
Queensbury, and it was upon this
the libel was written. Continuing,
the counsel said the gravest issues
were raised, as the defendant in
his pleadings, alleged that the
plaintiff had for some time solicit
ed persons, named, to commit in
decent otfenses.
Certain letters addressed to the
plaintiff by Lord Alfred Doug
las, the second son Of the Mar
quis Of Queensbury, were brought
to the plaintiff by a man who said
he was in distress. Wilde gave
him 20 pounds with which to pay
his passage to America.
Another letter was handed to
Beerbohm Tree, actor, who gave it
to the plaintiff.
Oscar Wilde was then called
and arose from the solicitors table,
where he was seated, and entered
the witness box. The plaintitf was
pale, but seemingly composed,
Wilde spoke with his customary
drawl, replying distinctly to the
questions addressed to him. The
witness said that when arriving at
his house few months ago he
found two gentlemen waiting in
the library. One OF them was the
Marquis of Queensbury and the
other one was unknown to the
plaintiff.
"The former said: 'S!t down " re-
piled Lord Queensbury, | will not
allow any one to talk that way in
my house. | suppose you have
come to apologize. Is it possible
that you accuse your son and me
Of sodomy" He replied, Il don'C
say it, but you look like it and APP
appear like it"
Counsel for the plaintiff then
asked the witness about the man to
whom he had given E2O, with
which to pay his passage to
America. The witness said: "The
man told me he had been offered
EGO for the letter. | advised him
to Immediately accept it, but |
finally gave him the money in or
der to relieve his distress and he
gave me the letter"
ue uOCuthellG leItllcu w vas
here produced in court and was
handed to Justice Collins. The
letter referred to the "Rose red
lips" of Lord Alfred Douglass and
the writer addressed him as my
own boy" and asked "why are you
alone in London" The letter was
signed, "with undying love,
Oscar"

sTATELiNEss IN WOMEN.


1t Never Excites tho Admiration OF tho
Men.
Stateliness in women proceeds from
sources different from stateiness in
men, says the Spectator. 1t is much
more Independent, to begin with, of
outward gifts. Not to mention our own
queen, who as people who are not cour-
tiers affirm, can be stately to awful
ness, and Queen Isabella of Spain, who,
in spite of her history and her bulk,
is regal to an unusual degree, it is GER
tain that the statellness of Maria
Theresa impressed all who came in con-
tact with her, and certain also that
no man as homely and unreserved as
she was in speech and bearing would
have been credited with stateliness. 1t
seems to be more allied in women than
in men with independence of mind, or
sense that the will is its own justiii-
cation-an absence, that is, of fear Of
external influence, The personality
suffices to itself, and therefore, there IS
stateliness, That is, we think the secret
reason why stateliness in women annoys
most men and many of the same sex.
They think they ought to be more in
fluential, and resent what they consider
to be aloofness, Unapproachableness,
which of course is one of the condi-
tons of stateliness, initiates men,
in women, being, in fact, a faint af-
front to their amour propre, and we
think many women feel that too. At
least we notice that this form of praise,
whenever it is given to women. is a
little cold, and that the reverence a
stately women eXcites is apt to be a
little chilly, There is no reason for
that in nature, the first function of a
women being to attract, and reason,
too, in the confusion which most men
make in their thoughts when they are
thinking of women, that statel:ness
must indicate either hauteur or unkind-
illness. Very often it is not so at all,
some Of the sweetest women being
stately, but the mistake is nearly al
ways made, and when a man, or, for
that matter, a woman, attributes to a
woman stateliness, there is seldom
complete cordially in the eulogistlc

This man thinks. or says he does,

in league with the world, the flesh

earth. The conference has called
him down, and he must answer to the
grave charge OF conduct unbecoming
a minister OF the gospel. He expects
to be fired" and give out the infor-
nation in advance that persecution
cannot close his mouth. He will
continue to preach as long as there is
lung left, and the conference shall
not be suffered to forget that he was
once part OF it. His zeal Is com
mendable, but his judgment is lame.

HEREDITARY NEEDLES.


A Possibility That 1t May at Some
Time Affect Life Insurance
Needles have never been supposed to
be hereditary, but a recent case report
ed by physician of eminence offers
undoubted evidence to the contrary A
lady accidentally ran needle into her
foot thirty years ago, and it lay APP
parently dormant in her system for so
many years that its existence was al
most forgotten. In 1878 she was mar
ried, and year after the birth of her
infant daughter, the needle made its
appearance in the infants shoulder.
There could be no doubt it was the
original needle by which the mother
had been attacked in 1860, for it was
of peculiar and now obsolete pattern,
and the mother distinctly remembered
that needles of that pattern were in use
at the time of her attack. There can
be no doubt that the infant inherited
the needle from her mother and that
henceforth physicians will expect to
find natural tendency to needles in
the tissues. AS it is asserted that peo-
Pile have died from needles, although
there are very few such cases on record
the insurance companies will doubtless
add to the questions which they put
to candidates for insurance: Ibid your
father or mother ever swallow needles
and, If so, how many, and of what kind
sewing, darning, or carpet?"

A sNEw VERSION OF TRlLeY.



Mickey Gives the boys Ills opinion OF
the Plot of the story
"Say, Mickey, wot's trilby?"
"Hully gee Trilby amt a na%thin.'
Trilby's dame. Why don't yer read,
Jimmy?"
well, den, who's Trllby?"
ooh, youse fellows make me tired.
Youse don't know nawthln', read de
book up at de doctors. Trilby was a
dame wot wuz bro't IN in de fourt'
ward in Paris. Her old man wuz
preacher, but got ter hittin' de bottle
too lively an her old lady slung gin
in a joint. Dey got stuck on each other
and hitched up, but de booze got de best
of dem and dey croaked in Paris and
left two kids. De girl was Trilby, but
de boy kid don't cut no ice in de story.
De girl was a dandy, and some painter
bloke got stuck on her shape and made
model of her to drawer from. Den
dey all got a-paintin' her and maxim
chalk images of her left foot or some
thin and so she met three English
guys who wuz in Paris learnin paintin'.
There wuz big bloke-bigger'n Cor
bett and Scotch mug and a little
dude. OF course, Trllbys old man
bein' English she fell right in wild dis
push, and soon she WIZ mendln' DER
socks and right to home wild dem.
"Bimeby de big bloke got spoony,
but youse kids can't understand that
part of it. Anyway, the little dude
wuz the winner OATS Just like de
wimmin; dey don't know when dey got
a good thing. If she'd made a play fer
the big guy l think he'd a flew the
:3op wid her and den de story wouldn't
ha' been ritain. Eu. .hg kid was the
winner, as l sed but she gov him de
marble heart, because she know'd she'd
been sittln' round wild the painters and
his folks mightn't like it, So den a
1ago wat wuz great musicianer got in
wild de gang, and of course he got stuck
on Trilby, too. He wasn't no good eX-
cept for playin the paner and wuz al
ways pullin' some ones leg and
wouldn't give anyone the glad hand
who was fool enough to cough up
we'll, anyway, when the kid told her
he'd skip if she didn't marry him she
weakened and said all right
Den de kids ma cum over from
London and put de biinkers on the
whole racket and made Trilby fire him,
see? Den de dude took sick and de
dame went on de bum for awhile, when
she met de dago and he mesmerized
