BALF0UR'S BlME TALISM.
HOW THE LONDON PRESS CON.
STRUES HIS LETTER.
It is One of the Most Extraordinary
Documents Ever Signed by Brit
ish Minister.
% West Second South.
Oakley has n new purk.

London, Sept. 9.-T'he Graphic thinks
the bimetalists will get cold comfort
out of Hon. A. j. Balfour's letter eX-
planning his recent utterances in Par
lament against the feasibility of an
international conference. The letter"
the Graphic says, virtually confesses
that the cause of which he is the per-
manent chairman is hopeless. The fact
is that, even assuming theoretical ex-
istence of the bimetallic system, there
Is not sufficient motive power behind
the nations to unmake the currency
and other revolutions which please the
academic disputants. In America re-
turning prosperity has forced the sill
yer men into silence"
The Daily News says on the same
subject: Mr.. Balfour's letter is one
of the most extraordinary documents
that was ever signed by a British Min
lister. Mr.. Balfour is now the author
lied exponent of the Government finan-
cial policy. What he says the treas
ury says Is ito be endured that the
First Lord of the Treasury should treat
the gold standard as a mere subject
of academic debate? He does not seem
to grasp the monometalliSts view of
the situation. A Mohammedan arch
bishop of Canterbury would not be
more incongrous than "a bimetallist
First Lord of the Treasury"
The substance of Mr.. Balfour's letter
was that his views on bimetallism had
undergone no change, and that he was
and always had been in favor of an
internal agreement, but he did not be-
lieve that an international conference
called at this time would affect such
an agreement.

A METHODIST PASTOR BLESSED.
Monsignor Satolli Did it, and Ex-
citment is Great.

Chicago, Sept. S.-There is great ex-
element in Hyde Park Methodist circles
tonight over the report that Rev. Her
bert G. Leonard, pastor of the leading
church In that fashionable suburb, had
this afternoon received the papal blessing
from Mgr. Satolli. 1t is said the ablegate

the Pope at function at the convent of
the Sacred Heart to which the Methodist
minister had been invited.
Mr.. Leonard admitted to reporter that
1t was true. lie said he had received
the blessing and that he was proud of it.
Asked when he intended to leave the
Methodist church to embrace Catholicism
he said that he would rather not talk on
that subject n
Later N. w. Harris, Andrew Fowler
and Paul Cornell, deacons in the Hyde
Park church, were informed of what had
taken place, and they lost no time in
calling upon their pastor and demanding
an explanation. 1t was decided V
stormy interview, and Mr.. Leonard
did not know which way to turn to escape
the cross-ilre of scathing questions that
were hurled at him from all directions.
His first excuse was that IL was all n

interviewed by q newspaper man and
hardly knew what he said Then the re-
porter was called in and asked to produce

DR.. FRAkER'S CAREER.
Swindler Has Been Involved in all
Sorts of Scrapes.

Sorts of Scrapes.
Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. DIR. w. o.
Mcleod, a well known physician of this
city, knows some chapters of swindler
Fraker's life that have not yet APP
peared in print. He said today:
"Fraker always was a shrewd, mean
fellow. l knew him when he was a
young man. He began to practice with
out a diploma in Triplett, Mo. This
arrested for 1t. Before long he turned
in to be a druggist. His store was
really an unlicensed liquor shop. He
was arrested for this offense, and his
business was broken up. He married
and moved to Excelsior Springs, q wa
tering place seventy miles away. His
wife was a good, respectable girl. Two
years later she was home on a visit,
when her clothes and all her little be-
longings unexpectedly made their APP
pearance, and with them message
from Fraker that she need never come
hack. He declared that she was too
jealous, and that he was done with
a reconciliation. At last she gave up
and applied for a divorce, and some
time after married her second hus-
band
"Fraker used to get into all sorts of
little scrapes. He would do some mean
thing and sink low in every ones esti-
nation, but always managed to get
back into the towns good graces again.
He did get a medical diploma at last.
II think he never married again, so
he could live very comfortably. His
father and mother died when he was
little boy, and he was brought up
by an uncle, but was thrown on his
own resources early in life, and drlfted
by slow degrees from little things to
worse ones"
