Ono of Her Up to Date Girls Wore Bloom
crs of Vivid Hue.

crS of Vivid Hue.
-Four Lincoln park policemen mounted
on bicycles chased a little scorcher III
boomers today, but instead of catching
her they landed in a promiscuous heap
in Lakeview, while the girl Of the peri
cd laughingly raised her jaunty cap and
was lost in the labyrinth Of streets that
wind out of Lake Shore drive ut that
point.
All along the line tho exciting race
was watched by thousands, who cheered
the pretty girl and jeered her clumsy
purSuers while the contest lasted and
burst their buttons off at its ludlcrouS
conclusion.
The girls boomers caused all the
trouble.
While Officer Mahaffy leaned against
a tree he was startled by vision OF
green and gold that made his hair stand
ON end with horror. Not 100 feet away
rode a girl with the bloomingest bloom
ers he had ever seen.
Tho boomers proper were Of old gold
satin and fitted almost like gloves. They
came to the knees and were finished at
the bottoms with bright ribbon binding.
The leggings We're incidentally silk
stockings just shade darker than the
boomers, while the dainty feet were in
cased in tan oxfords with needle tees
and satin bows.
A green satin zouave jacket embroid-
cred with yellow silk and trimmed with
ribbon bows of the same color but half
concealed q tan colored leather belt with
silver buckle and white shirt waist.
She wore stand mp linen collar, a
negligee tie Of yellow silk, which float
ed behind as she few along, and above
all was perched a little yachting cap
greener than the tree that supported Of
fcer Mahafy when he was stunned by
the giddy costume, violative alike OF
fashion edicts and the city ordinance
forbidding either sex towea the others
clothing.
That dignitary quickly recovered and
gave chase on his wheel. The crowd
yelled like lunatics. Three other cop
pers on bikes joined the hunt, but they
were never in it, for the girl held her
distance, and the mob wouldn't have
seen her captured anyway.
The end came in Lakeview when Off
Ger Mahaffy' forward wheel struck an
obstruction, and he went sprawling on
the drive, with his companions foun-
dering above him. At this instant the
little sinner whose naughty costume
caused the rumpus raised her cap to her
vanquished purspers and disappeared.
The boobies brushed themselves off and
modestly snealled back to Lincoln park
on quiet street to avoid the compli-
ments of the crowd.-Chicago Dispatch

CABLES pAss.on FOR TREES.
lie Makes All His Distinguished Guests
Plant Them.

Plant Them.
George ". Cable, the novelist, who
has resided in Northampton, Mass, for
some years, calls his residence Tarry-
awhile. Some time ago careless re-
porter sent q paragraph travelling about
the country making the name "Stay-
awhile" Mr.. Gable was grieved and
desires correction. Like the old story,
"Stayawhile" has been going the rounds
before "Tarryawhile" can catch up, and
every little while Mr.. Cable is annoyed
by the false and uneuphonious name.
The pleasant residence Tarryawhile is
On Dryad's green, which is the name OF
a locality in New Orleans which Mr..
Cable has utilized in one Of his novels.
Mr. Cable takes great pleasure in
trees. Whenever he has a visitor OF rep
utation in the literary world he is asked
by Mr.. Gable to become the godfather
for tree.
Once Henry Ward Beecher was a
guest at the home of Mr.. Cable, who
was then living on Paradise road, in the
rear of the lake which adorns portion
of the Smith college grounds.
Then the tree planting with distin-
guished sponsors was inaugurated, and
an elm sapling was planted by the great
preacher. 1t is now lusty tree, but it
has been a great traveller. About two
years after it had been planted by Mr..
Beecher Mr.. Cable changed the form Of
his grounds somewhat, and he had the
tree transplanted.
On moving from Paradise road to
Tarryawhile Mr.. Gable had the tree
transplanted again and placed in front
Of his new home 1t did not seem to the
novelist to be just where he wanted it,
and it was transplanted again and is
now thriving finely.
The next tree that had a famous spon-
sor is a graceful white ash which now
stands at the edge of the pine grove in
the rear of the novelist's house This
tree was planted by Max O'Rell, the
French humorist.
Not far away is another graceful ash.
This was planted by Mr. and Mrs. R. J.
Chard, the parents Of the young man
who married Mr.. Cables daughter
Louise last winter
Another tree was set out by the Rev.
Paul Vandyke, pastor Of the Edwards
church at Northampton. In the spring
of 1894 Edward Atkinson planted an ash
near the south corner of the Tarrya-
while grounds. Last fall Dr.. A. Conan
Doyle planted a maple on the edge of the
grove about 20 yards west from the north
west corner of the house.
a few months ago Sol Smith Russell
and Mrs. Russell planted a linden mid
way between the ash trees Of Max O'Rell
and Edward Atkinson.
Mr.. Cable has planted many tres,
but his favorite is tall and handsome
elm which was about Is years old when
transplanted last year. 1t is a beauty

MR.. MASTERS CANDIDACY.

With an intelligent appreciation of eX-
listing political conditions in Maryland, our
esteemed contemporary, the North East
star, referring in its last issue to Mr.. NAL
ster as pos, ibe candidate for Governor,
says: Mr.. Master would make strong
candidate, and, considering the existing
dissatisfaction in the Democratic ranks with
the leaders of the party we would not he
surprised if the next Governor of Mary
land should happen to he Republican.
There are many voters in the Democratic
party who have no political favors to ask,
and who have no sympathy with the
methods of reward and punishment that
have been practiced by those who happen
to be Clothed with little brief authority"
Besides, the opinion seems to be growing
that woful lack of incapabilty is being
developed among those who hold position
and power. Democratic legislators and eX
ecutive officers are not measuring up to the
fullness of the party standard nor up to
the expectations of those who placed them
in power.
"Mr. Malster may not make auy better
Governor then the Democrats who have
filed that office But this matter will not
be considered so much as the recent records
of the two great parties in both State and
National affairs, and that Of the Republican
party does not show so many conspicuous
blunders as does the record of Democracy.
The cause of this does not rest with the
principles Of the Democratic party so much
as with those who have been trusted with
the exemplihcation of those principles.

THE FUTURE OF GOLD.

Now that the respective advocates OF
national currency, are monopolizing So
large share of public attention, the follow
ing facts relative to the past and present
production of the yellow metal are at once
timely and instructive, and which are
summarized from an article on the future
of gold, contributed to the NorM 1meicon
Rerier, by Robert f. Preston, Director OF
the Mint
'Four periods divide the history of the
production Of gold-the first ending with
the discoveries of Columbus, the second
with those Of the California and Australian
gold fields in lS4S and 1850, the third in
1856; the fourth began in 1886 with the
discovery of heWitwatersrandtg gold mines.
decided epoch in the history of the pro
duction of gold.
Mr.. Preston alludes to the prophecies OF
1S17 of the Austrian geologist, DR.. Suess,
that the decline of gold would be perman-
ent. His theory, as stated in his book was
that the earth was myriads of ages ago in It
molten or fluid state. When in that condi
ton the heavier elements of which it is
composed sank in obedience to the law Of
gravitation deepest, and now lie nearest
the earth's centre. Gold is one of these,
and is most inaccessible to man The
Doctor, therefore, predicted that the time
would come, after IA few centuries, when
the production of gold would cease to an
extraordinary extent, and that metal, on
account of its ever-increasing scarcity, cease
to be able to maintain the economic position
it had hitherto held. The occurrence OF
gold in nature being thus it is unfavorable
to the general adoption of the gold
standard.
Scarcely any of these conclusions have
been verified. Production now depends
much more on vein-mining than on gold
washings; fully go per cent, of the world S
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1895-02-09
THAT DOVER SCANDAL.

The continued Senatorial deadlock in the
Delaware legislature is putting Republi
cans in every other State on the defensive
against well-aimed SCOTS and sneers at the
G. o. P.
81 thought you Republicans represented
party of high moral ideas"
"Now it appears that you Republicans
are just as deep in the mud of political cor
ruption in Delaware as we Democrats were
in the mire of political debauchery"
Mr.. Higgins friends charge Mr.. Ad.
dicks with having bought outright Sussex
county, and Mr.. Addicks' friends charge
Mr.. Higgins with preventing the delivery
o. TIE votes that he Addicks) bought and
paid for"
Such are the Democratic comments on
the Republican situation at Dover.
The fact is, that the Republican dirty
linen, that is now being washed in full
view of the whole country at Dover, is
rapidly assuming the shape of national
scandal.
We said last week that the Republican
party in Delaware can only command pub
lie confidence by showing itself worthy
of it.
If, now that it is invested with power, ii
repeats the stupendous follies, not to say
crimes, against the purity of the ballot
that it for years has charged upon its polti
cal opponents, upon what grounds can il
expect to retain power in Delaware?
How long, indeed, are the Republicans
of Maryland, and of every other State in
the Union, to continue to be apologists for
the ugly charges banded back and forth
between the enbitterod partizans of con-
tending Republican factions in Delaware?
Every true friend of honest Republican
ism must wish for speedy termination o.
this unseemly exhibition.
We pray you, gentlemen, Il speedy truce
to this unwholesome wrangle.

production of gold is obtained from the
solid rock. There has been increased pro
duction independent of geographical dis
covery by improved technic processes, es-
pecially by the cyanide process Gold pro-
duction is not declining, but advancing; and
in South Africa it has been demonstrated
that the gold contents increase with the
depth.
The first rude shock to Suess' theory was
the discovery of the Witwatersrandt gold
fields in South Africa, the production of
which since 1887 has been enormous. VIII
it continue? Herr Schmeisser and other
experts who have looked into the matter
agree that the gold output of these mines
is assured for considerable period of time.
At present only five per cent of the gold is
lost. In 1892, 211, S66 ounces were OBJ
tanned from tailngs by the cyanide process,
by this process has been, it is claimed,
more than one-third of the Witwaters-
randt's total output, amounting, as it did
in September, 1891, to 81, 900 ounces out of
a total of 175, 600 ounces.
In the United States the production of
gold has been very uniform since 1887; the
output of 1894 will largely exceed that of
1893 and will probably reach over Si3, 900,
00O an increase of S7,OOO,00 over the
latter year. There are no indications what
ever of a falling oil in the future of the
productiveness of the gold mines in this
country. The greatest hope of a large pro
duct.in the future lies in the removal of all
restrictions Oh hydraulic mining in Cali
fornia.
The increase of the gold production of
Australasia has been steady and continuous;
that from alluyial deposits in Australia is
decreasing, but that from quartz mining
increasing In Russia the yield is almost
exclusively from alluyial deposits, and,
reasoning from analogy, the production
must continue to increase for years to come.
In India the increase for years has been
exceedingly rapid; likewise in the three
Guineas.
The production of the world in 1886 was
100, 494 Kilograms, in 1893 it was 23i, 0O6
Kilograms; or, in round numbers $780,,
522, 600. In short, the production of gold
was never so rapid as it is to day. Says
Mr.. Preston in conclusion: "When the
Weld of the California and Australian gold
mines was at its highest, $4,000, Michel
Chevaier and other economists began to
inquire what measures governments should
take to prevent the depreciation of the
yellow metal, and some even proposed its
decentralization. Yet now, when the produc
ton # even 1S56-6O is exc ,edcd, and when
the value of the annual product of gold
alone is almost equal to that of the product
of both precious metals before the depreci-
alton of silver began, all the economic evils
from which the commercial, agricultural
and industrial world is suffering are as,
cribed to the scarcity of gold! What bet
ter REPUTATION can there be of such fallacy
than the figures adduce,l in the foregoing
pages? They are more convincing than
words; for if there is a scarcity OF gold now,
When was there plenty of it?'
