Mr. Noelier, says the Paris
Journal dies Dehats, who edits,
prints and delivers the papers
himself, He established a
very primitive office at Cob
lhaab. and twice Il month
makes Il long trip on skates
through the country to sell his
paper. The sheet was at first
merely rough pictorial affair,
then Mr.. Noeller published an
alphabet, next words, and at
last sentences. Today he prints
long articles on the occurrences
of the day. 1t can therefore
be said that he has literally
taught his fellow countryman
to read. They are very CRATE
full TO him for it, and their re
spect for Mr. Moelleri is without
limit.

LEaI P. MORTON
A CANDIDATE.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE
Morning Advertiser will to-
MORROW say:
Levi p. Morton is an avowed
candidate for the Presidency.
The Advertiser is able to make
this announcement on what may
be termed the best authority.
During the peesent week, a
distinguished party leader told
an Advertiser reporter last
night, the Governor may con-
Glide to take his friends into
his confidence and declare to
them just how he feels about
1895. A leader who saw the
Governor at Ellerslee on Fri
day last, came back with "a
pretty firm conviction that Mr.
Morton does not propose to toss
away the honor offered him
at the last Saratoga convention.
and that while he does not
propose to personally exert
himself, he Will be pleased TO
have the New York delegation
stand as firmly for his nomi
nation at St. Lonis as did the
famous 306 for that of Grant in
1880.
Continuing, the Morning Adj
vertiser says: THE Advertiser
presents other information of
a most powerful combination
which as occasion requires it is
intended to be swung TO the
support of either Norton, Reed
or Allison. II was at the home

SHOT BY A CHEF JUSTICE.

Chattanooga, Tenn, December
16.-ClIief Justice j. L. Snod-
grass of the supreme court of
Tennessee, shot ard painfully
wounded Lawyer John r. Beas-
ley. in the law Office of Con-
gress Brown, today. Judge
Snodgrass entered the law of
fee to see Mr.. Spurlonk, who is
a partner of Congressman
Brown. Mr.. Beasley was sitting
at desk and the judge, walk
ing up to him, denounced an
article in this mornings Times,
which appeared over Beasley S
signature, as a lie. They came
TO blows, and Judge Snodgrass
drew a pistol and shot al Beas-
ley twice. One ball entered the
left arm near the wrist and
came out near the elbow. The
other ball lodged in the leg.
The charges made by Mr.
Beasley in his card to the Times
were to the effect that the su-
preme court rendered a decision
in the railroad debt case of the
State from a political stand
point, and not from Justice
Judge Snodgrass waived tria

THE RISING GOLD TIDE.

IIoustsn Post
While our treasury at Wash
ington is worried over the loss
of gold from week to week,
thanks TO our peculiar system
of finance. the great financial
authorities of the world, IL
seems, are becoming actually
alarmed az the growtlf of the
volume of gold as q money
throughout the world, in con
sequence of the phenomenal
increase in production Of gold
ores.
The London Bankers Mag
azine, for instance, sees a men
ace in the flood of gold" pour
ing in upon tfrs worlds money
centers. It declares, according
TO Il commentator on its article.
that careful review of all the
facts bearing upon the ques-
ton leads TO the conclusion
that there is mo imaginable
limit to the future output OF
this precious metal;;" that the
Immense pressure of the Gle
mand upon the stock Of gold
caused by the great commercial
nathss has so simulated pro-
duetiou in every part of the
world that paying mines are
Becoming more and more nu-
mrrous and more prolific every
day. The first thought" it
says, with regard to such an
overwhelming accumulation is
flat we shall not know what
10 do with it, how to use it, and
how to make it available as a
monetary standard without
breaking down existing val
nes;" and suggests that ''seri-
ous disturbances" are likely to
result.
These reflections are I'M
doubtedly caused by the phe
nomenal output in Africa and
rlIe discovery Of new and rich
mines in Colorado, Montana
California, Alaska, South
America and yet other portions
of the globe. Gold production
IS greatly outstIipping silver
production just now and if the
stimulus to production and re-
search is continued for few
years longer, it is possible that
gold the world over will be as
plentiful as the universal heeds
of commerce require for even a
universal standard. The fact
furnishes another reason fol
extreme caution in any great
changes in our own financial
systems, OF kinds of currency
or ado ption of standards fol
some time yet. IF tire presen'
congress will correct some few
features and stop some ugly
leaks, this country can AFFORD
to wait until the thereatened
establishments occur in the ole
world, and then our own system
can be made TO accord will
that of the leading financial
and commercial nations with
cut injury to our trade, on
credit, or our domestic prosper
iry. AL signs eflhe tiraes poin

VACATION SkETCHES.

One Of our young readers wants to
know If a vacation story told in poetry
will be acceptable in the competition open
to the boys and girls OF the grammar
schools for the "most interesting and best
written relation of a vacation expert
ence."
We should say that good story told in
verse might stand very good chance to
be both "most interesting" and "best
written.' At any rate it would be
readily accepted as competing for the
prizes the ten-dollar gold piece, the five
dollar bill and the three crisp three-dollar
bills.
From what we can learn, we guess a
good deal of interest has heen excited
among the young folk over the pleasant
task we have set for them, to tell the edi-
tor about some of their good times during
the long vacation. We have already re-
ceived a number of very entertaining
letters, although the competition does not
close until September IS.

The Boston Herald has the following to
say regarding the collaboration in the
writing OF that clever story, the "Long
Arm," which, published in The NEWS,
attracted the same widespread interest
here in Rhode Island as it did in Boston
and New York:
"There seems TO be no doubt that Miss
wilkins and her eoadjutor, Mr.. Chamberlin.
can collaborato a very strong and very real
istic detective story, and that they can tell 1t
IN a graphic way. The public has not been in
formed as 10 the part which Miss wilkins col.
laborator performed in the production Of
this story, but this we know: that Miss Will
lnns chose as tho title of the talo 'The Story
of Sarah TomplEins. and that her collabora-
tor chose instead the more dramatic present
name for it, and thus added greatly to the
mystery surrounding the plot and intensified
the readers curiosity concerning its signih-
canoe. The long arm was the key 10 the un'
raveling Of the whole tragedy"
With regard to this matter, we are cred
IDLY informed that the story in every es-
sential, as it would appear to the lay
mind, was the work of Miss WILKINS
The plot was hers, and the telling of the
story was hers. Nevertheless Mr..
| CHAMBERLIN' share was of vital inn
portance. as those who know the import
ance OF the construction of a piece OF
literature, as distinguished in a way from
the story telling proper, will readily un-
derstand. Mr.. CHAMBERLIN is trained
"desk man'' as well as clever writer.
| He is used to handling manuscripts, to
editing them and to arranging them. He
has this editorial faculty, the fruit OF
long experience and capacious Judgment,
which Miss WILKINS has never been
called upon to exercise. The little touch
of the change in the title. OF the story
suggests the value OF Mr.. CHAMBERLIN's
collaboration. A good title will often
sell a commonplace book. In this case 1t
distinctly added interest to the story, and
commanded attention to it at the out
set. 1t was effective. And we are in
formed that in arranging the story In
instalments for effective presentation
and in many little touches of perhaps
mechanical kind. Mr.. CHAMBERLIN con
tributed much to the success OF what was
titled to the share of the praise, Miss
WILKINS insisting that praise and prize
should be equally divided with tn,
friend who had assisted.
