Mr.. de NavarrO's Plan.


New York people are nothing if not
modest. Mr.. Jose F. de Navarro sets
forth in The Forum his plan for the
keeping Of gold and silver at parity.
Briefly it is to have a sliding scale of sill
yer values for United States money, con-
trolled from day to day by the price of
silver bullion in the gold market. A
silver commission would settle every day
at what rate the United States govern
ment should pay out silver next day for
the redemption of silver notes, when it
came to the pinch where the treasurer
would have to redeem the silver notes in
silver instead of gold
The three commissioners should be ap-
pointed by the United States govern
ment, but they should be proposed-and
here is where the characteristic modesty
of New York comes in-one by the New
York chamber of commerce, another by
the New York banks clearing house
and the third by the New York Stock
Exchange. How this jiggle joggle scale
would work in the paying of wages
and the purchase of dry goods and gro
ceries Mr.. de Navarro does not take the
trouble to explain very fully. He would,
however, have the monthly purchases of
silver by the government stopped, here
being in his Judgment sufficient sup
ply now on hand. He explains his idea
| thus:
The United States legal tender silver notes
now In circulation are payable on demand at
all the subtreasuries either in gold or silver
coin, at the option of the government. The Sec
rotary OF the treasury Is recommended in the
act to pay them in gold as long as he thinks it
prudent, and he has always done So but since
he began the price Of silver has been steadily
going down, from about 81 cents to Ga cents fol
the standard silver dollar, and people realize
now that the secretary will be compelled soon
to pay them in silver in order to keep the gold
In the treasury. Now, my remedy is simply to
amend this act Of July IA, 1890, by adding that
when paid In silver the notes shall be paid on
gold basis, reckoning the silver at the govern.
ment's gold price on the day of payment, as
liked by commission to be appointed under
the act.
To take an example of silver conversion: A
banker wishes to transfer to Europe 81, 600 COX
by shipment Of specie in lieu of exchange and
decides to send gold. He takes certified check
of $l,CO0,0OO to the treasury to get the gold, az
usual, but the secretary, contrary to his Gus.
tom, decides to pay it In silver and hands him
silver check of $l,562,5OO at GA cents-$l ,Ooo,.
600 gold. The banker may decide to ship the
silver, but If not he goes to his bullion broker
and gets $1,000, 900 gold by paying him with the
silver check and in addition n per cent com.
mission-$2,5 00-making loss of N per cent
instead of a loss Of 38 per cent as under the
present law. The treasurer will always be
ready to buy his own silver checks at the same
days price, and this will complete the above
double transaction. This one example em
braces all the transactions possible ever to hap
pen-namely, payment of notes in silver an6
purchases Of silver in notes.

The Ladies Objected.

Rev. J. NJ. W. Deshong preached
with great fire and zeal to a colored
congregation in Fayetteville, Tenn.
Colored people like fire and zeal, and
for time the Rev. Deshong's sermons
had great acceptance. Sinners were
awakened, and at the altar of penitence
they howled nightly as the good work
went On.
With tho zeal Of martyr Rev. De-
shong began to weed out the sinners in
his congregation from the saints. II di-
vide you into sheep and goats" he
said. 'In the last great day the sheep
will sit on the right hand and the goats
on the left. Next Sunday I will read
out loud to you from this pulpit list
Of the sheep and another of the goats in
my congregation. -
Next Sunday the church was crowd
cd. All Fayetteville wanted to know
particularly who the sheep were and
still more particularly who were the
goats. Brer Deshong read out the lists
as he threatened. On the goat list were
the names of some of the most promi-
nent colored ladies of the congregation.
These dear sisters fired up at being
called goats before all the people. Their
rage surpassed even their Christianity,
and one night they got another goat,
presumably of the male persuasion, to
shoot at Brer Deshong as he reposed in
his room after the labors Of the day
were over, But the bullet did not hit.
Brer Deshong still lives to call the sis
tiers goats.

more from the belts of their fallen CON-
rades. Colonel Pulford recovered from
his Gettysburg wound and led the regi-
ment in the Wilderness. He was again
wounded there, and his successor, Major
8. Mathews, also fell. In one week of
fighting, which included the Wilderness
and Spottsylvania, the roster Of S65 rank
and file was out down to 200 by casual
ties in battle. Soon afterward 800 men
from the Third Michigan were transfer
red to it's ranks, and the organization
was thus preserved to the end Of the
war. The total number killed during
the war was 263-13.9 per cent Of the
enrollment; Of killed and wounded,
1913, or 81 per cent of all those en-
rolled. GEORGE L.. KILMER.

A picture of Hetty Green, the many
millioned miser, shows that at the age
Of 26 she was a beautiful woman, with
finely chiseled features and a firm,
handsome chin. Those who knew her
we'll in the days Of her early married
life tell the present generation that she
was delightful companion then and a
lovable woman. She was noted for her
jewels and her exquisite dressing in the
days when she lived at the Astor House
in New York city. Now with $50, OOO,
900 she is too poor to live at the Astor
House any more. The thirst for gain
grows like the appetite for alcohol
when once free rein is given toit. It is
every whit as fierce and unquenchable.

HOMICIDE IN WALLOWA.
John Flemming Instantly Killed by John
Basin.

John Flemming Instantly Killed by Johr
Basin.
A dispatch dated Enterprise, Ore,
April 30th, has the following:
John Flemming, young farmer liv.
ing about four miles southeast from
Enterprise, was shot and instantly
killed yesterday morning by John Ba.
sim. The two lived neighbOrs. Flem-
ming and his 7-year-old son rode over
to the Basin ranch in the morning to
look for a COW. Basin and Flemming
had some hot words, about the COW
trespassing on Basim's property. Ba-
sim, who was plowing at the time, un-
house about half mile away, while
search for the COW. Basin soon re-
dered Flemming off the ranch. They
raised the gun and fired. The entire
charge from the gun entered Flem-
ming's right chest piercing the lung
cavity and causing instant death. Ba-
sim rode over and told his brother
what he had done, and then came to
this place and gave himself up to
Sheriff Neal.
Both parties are well known here.
Basin has been considered an excel
lent citizen, but is said to be man of
very high temper. The examination
of the defendant, charged with MUIR
der, in the first degree, is now in prog
ress before Judge Olmstead.
At the inquest over the remains of
Flemming the coroner's jury returned
a verdict of murder against Basin.
Both the parties connected with the
tragedy have families, and the affair
has caused great amount of public
excitement.

IDENTIFIED.
Jack Welch is Identified by Saylor and is
Taken Back to Umatilla County.

Jack Welch is Identified by Saylor and is
Taken Back to Umatilla County.
Sheriff Houser and Mr.. Saylor, the
barber at Umatilla arrived on the
morning train, and left with Welch on
a mixed freight soon afterwards. He
at first denied that he had committed
the robbery, but when confronted by
Saylor acknowledged that he was
guilty and asked for mercy. The facts
in the case are as follows: Mr.. Say
lor's wife was absent on a visit to
friends, and Welch stayed with him
doing chores around the house. He
had implicit confidence in the fellow,
and he occupied the same bed with
Saylor. The barber, after his days
work, was in the habit of putting the
purse containing his money under the
mattress. Welch had taken careful
note of this, and had made his plans
accordingly. Mrs. Saylor was expect
ed home Wednesday,, and SaylOr in
formed Welch of the fact. Early in
the morning, Welch got up and went
out, and SaylOr thought nothing of the
matter until the west bound train pass
ed down the road. He then suspected
that something was wrong, and search
ed for his purse. 1t was missing, and
his suspicion fastened on Welch. On
making inquiries at the depot he found
that Welch had taken that train for
The Dalles. He Immediately tele-
graphed to this city, and the man was
arrested. Fortunately the money was
found on his person, excepting IS
cents, which it is presumed he paid to
a brakeman for the privilege of riding
on the blind baggage. Mr.. Saylor,
Notwithstanding the fact that he is out
the expenses of his trip to The Dalles
and return, is highly pleased that the
man who betrayed his confidence is
arrested, and hopes that he will be
properly punished for the crime.

coMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE.
The New Opera House Will be of Large
Proportions and Capable of Seating
About 1900.

/
Mr.. Max Vogt is pushing work on
the opera house, and will have it COM
pleted at the earliest possible date.
The walls are solid and in good condi-
tion, and these will require but little
repairing. Over two of the doors the
lintels were broken as result of the
fire, and these have been replaced by
new ones. The roof WILDE supporte d
by trusses of the Howe pattern, and
the span will be 63 feet in length.
This will do away with all pillars in
the auditorium, and will give clear
space for drilling and for seating pur-
poses. When finished the hall will be
125x60 feet, with 29-foot ceiling, and a
space of about 80 feet will be used for
the stage and dressing rooms. The
entrance will be on Third street. near
the center of the block; but there will
be several exits on the alley, so that,
in case of accident, there will be an
opportunity for all to escape.
Mr.. Vogt is entitled to considerable
commendation for his enterprise in re-
fitting this building. During the con-
fagration of September, 1891, he was
a heavy loser, and his elegant three
story brick blocks went up in flames

destruction. This discouraged him
for long time, and he considered it
waste of money to put it in buildings
to furnish food for flames. The pros
poets of revival of business this sum-
mer has given him confidence that
there will be better times in the
future, and the worst depression has
passed. When the house will be ready
for occupancy Mr.. Vogt will have
spent several thousands of dollars, and
it will be of great benefit to the
city. 1t is hoped that it will be the
of an era of enterprise and
in The Dalles, and that the
city will give evidence of permanent
during the coming sea-
son.

nelly found his man, Mr.. Fowler hav-

CHIEF OF POLICE, The Dalles, Ore.
Hold man. Will be down tonight.
q. o. HoUSER, Sheriff.
The man is between 35 and 40 years
of age, and in appearance would indi-
cate that he is capable of committing
the crime of which he is charged. No
further intelligence of the act could be
gathered but that contained in the
kilograms. S. A. Saylor, who sent the
first dispatch, is barber at Umatilla,
and from Sheriff Houser's' telegram it
is evident that he has received full
particulars.

A COMFORTABLE HOME.
A Farm That is Well Situated and Highly
Cultivated.

Cultivated.
Mr.. Richard Palmer, one of the
most successful farmers on Fifteen
Mile creek, was in the city yesterday
He says the season has been dry, and
some of the grain sown has not
sprouted yet. His orchard gives every
indication of large yield, and the
fruit have not been damaged in the
least by frosts or cold weather. The
farm of Mr.. Palmer is on plateau be-
tween Fifteen Mile and Ramsay
creeks, and in summer is one of the
most delightful spots in Wasco. It is
we'll improved in everyway, and, with
a comfortable dwelling house, has a
large barn and sheds to store his i'm
plements. The snow-capped range of
the Cascades is plainly in view, and
the grand scenery which can be seen
at single glance, charms every Wis
itor. In any mention of this attract
i've farm, Mrs. Palmer's excellent
culinary department should receive
notice. Born and bred in land that
boasts of good livers, she has not for
gotten her early training, and never al
lows guest to depart without replen-
ishing his system by substantial re-
freshments placed in the most tempt
ing manner and of the best the mark
cts afford. A few. seasons of plenty,
with good prices for products, will place
Mr.. Palmer in the list of princely
farmers, for which position nature has
designed him,
