ManeuVerS at Windsor Cause
a Somewhat Heated
Controversy.
LATEST GOSSIP OF LONDON.
Easter Week Marked by the I'm
usual Number of New Plays at
the TheaterS.

LONDON, Eng, April 20. The past
week has been mainly remarkable for
considerable display of amateur soldiers
and from it has arisen small tempest
which may result in permanent good to
the auxiliary forces.
The British volunteers, whose great
yearly period of training is at Easter, are
divided into two parties-those who are
DESTROYS of doing serious soldering and
those who prefer making their annual holi-
day sort of picnic.
This year the bulk of the volunteer regi-
ments of the London district were taken to
Windsor, where, with the guard battalions
from Aldershot camp, some paltry
maneuvers were carried out and on Easter
Monday there was big review in
the presence of the Duke of Connaught,
youngest son of the Queen, the general in
command of Aldershot, Prince Christian
of Schleswig Holstein, Lord Methune,
commander of the Thames District and
other war officials and all the royal SER
wants from Windsor Castle.
The Times, in leading article on the
subject, takes the Duke of Connaught and
the other military officials sharply to task
for ordering "such burlesque of real sol
diering," saying: -Four days were mis-
spent in rehearsing for royal review"
The comment of the Times has led to
much correspondence on the subject, the
writers in number of instances thanking
the Times for it's outspoken criticisms of
the military officials responsible for the
review at Windsor, and saying that the
criticisms are in the real interest of the
volunteers.
The Queen has decided to discontinue
hereafter the early drawingrooms. She
will hold four drawing-rooms after Easter.
The Queens ostrich, which was pre-
sented to her Majesty by South African
Queen, and which was recently given to
the geological gardens, died Tuesday last,
much to the Queens regret.
The Worth establishment of Paris has
Just created for an American lady q
unique sleeve, which represents a stained
glass window. The different lights are
marked out by raised piping of contrast
ing color to the sleeves.
The panels are exquisitely painted in
rich subdued colors. The owner of this
remarkable production paid large sum to
have the model destroyed.
Mr.. Thomas Stevens of New York was
married to Mrs. Frances Mary Barnes.
widow of Prependary Barnes of Exeter,
just before Easter. The lady is the mother
of Mrs. Arthur Bonchier and the Misses
Irene and Angela Van Burgh.
The Sun says that the life of the Prince
of Wales is insured for 98, 900.
Mrs. John w. Mackay has arrived in
Paris, accompanied by her daughter, the
Princess Colonna.

NORTON TALKS ON MONEY.
But 1t Seems He KnotUs More About

But IL seems lie hnOfCS uuOTG dUOub
HheGt Than SiIUer.
WASHINGTON, D, c., April 20.-Secre-
tary Morton in an interview to-day on the
silver question said:
81 do not believe that an International
conference can establish permanently
commercial ratio between gold and silver
any more than it can establish perma-
nent commercial ratio between rye and
wheat. But if an international confer
ence can fix the price in gold and silver it
can also fix the price of wheat or of any
other commodity and thereby avoid all
the possible shrinkages IN the values
which tend to cause panics.
"My own judgment is that we must
sooner or later declare that the United
States of America recognizes gold as the
best and least fuctuaJing measure of value
and medium of exchange which the COM
merce of civilization has thus far utilized
1t is barely possible that the fallacies of
the Populists may temporarily secure a
majority of the voters of the United States.
Should such a catastrophe overtake the
country the people must learn by expert
ence what they should have learned by
diligent study and reason.
''The time for straddlers is passed Those
who are for sound currency on a gold basis
ought to have the courage to say so, and
abide by the results of their declaration.
1t makes no difference to me whether a
declaration of truth either upon the tariff
or on the money question temporarily
drives them from us or allures them to us.
81 have no hesitation in declaring my
self utterly opposed to all the free coinage
fallacies. My judgment is that silver can
not be restored to its former monetary
place in the commerce of the world, be-
cause the supply of silver has outgrown
the demand for silver in the exchanges Of
civilization. The relation of supply
to demand is the sole regulator of value.
The axiom applies alike to salt, silver,
sugar and soap. All legislation of all the
law-making bodies on the face of the globe
can neither mitigate or annul the opera
ton of the memorable law. The relation
of supply and demand is the sole regulator
of value.
1.-THE Presidents critics, however, ask
what sound money is. An ordinary man
of business may answer that question.
Sound money is that sort of currency
which has the most universal and
least fuctuating purchasing power in
the different countries. That money is
the soundest for which throughout the
commerce of the civilized world there is
the most universal demand, and that uni
versal demand is always based upon the
universal and unhuctuating purchasing
power of that money"

A Startling
Admission.
In New York City, for five con.
secutive years, the proportion
of Deaths from Consumption
has been three in every
Twenty Persons.

Epidemics of Cholera, Yellow Fever
and other diseases of similar character.
SO terrible in their results, occasion wide
spread alarm and receive the most care
full consideration for their prevention
and cure, while consumption receives
scarcely thought, yet the number of
their victims sinks into insignifcance
when compared with those of consump-
ton. Comparatively few people know
what to do for their loved ones when they
see them gradually lose strength, lose
color, manifest feeble vitality and ema-
citation, or develop a cough, with difficult
breathing, or hemorrhage. Cod liver oil
was for long time given in all such
cases, but the poor success attending its
use coupled with its pauseating taste has
led many practitioners, as we'll as the
public at large, to place their main re-
lance in DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t deserves early attention
and will prove efectual not in every case
but in large percentage of cases, and
we believe that fully % per cent. of all
cases of consumption can, if taken in the
early stages of the disease, be cured with
the Discovery" Dr. Pierce does not
ask people to believe until they have in
vestigated for themselves. A pamphlet
has been published having the names,
addresses and photographs of a large
number of those cured of consumption,
bronchitis, lingering coughs asthma,
chronic nasal catarrh and kindred mala.

fore the Senate | said, in a speech then
and there, that l wanted the right of coin

demanded 1 was will
ing, not as matter of fairness,
but in a spirit of compromise, that
the Government should take 10 per cent
or 10 per cent or 20 per cent, or even 70 per
cent of the silver bullion presented tor

was what was troubling, L was willing, not
as matter of justice, but IN a spirit OF
compromise, if Is to l was not accePtaole'
to take II, Is, 10 or even ratio OF ~ 10 L.
But the opponents Of this metal were
not to be placated by any concessions,
either on the line of increased. selgnlorage
or advanced ratio. They had destroyed
the metal by process that has never been,
in nv opinion. successfully justified, aid
from the hour of its taking effect until
now they have never been willing that it
should be reinstated. The effort of those
who seek to distort and pervert the issue
pending will fail The American people
are not to be hoodwinked or deceived fur
Their. They are at last thinking, and the re-
suit of their investigation will vlndlcate the
right. No employment of catch phrases
will determine the popular verdict. The
people are rapidly coming to know that
the issue before them is not gold mono
metallism upon the one side and silver
monometallism on the other, but it is
rather contest between the advocates of
a single gold standard upon the one hand
and those who demand the use of both sill
yer and gold upon the other.
For one to claim that he is bimetal-
list, coupled with the condition that BIZ
metallism is to be brought about only as a
result of international conference, is mere
evasion of the situation. That is simply
the work of the lawyer who files an affida-

upon this and all other public questions,
and are satisfied with it. Now if there be
one upon the list of announced candi-
dates for the Senate who will avow
himself an opponent of silver coinage and
advocate single gold standard, or in other
words who is not in accord with the views
held and advocated by your paper and will
so declare himself, 1 will ask and urge
every friend of mine in Kentucky holding
these views, and who in spite of that fact
is now supporting me, to withdraw
his support from me and give it to
the candidate who has been bold enough TO
make such a declaration, but 1 apprehend
that no one of these worthy gentlemen
will make such an avowal unless he
couples with it an announcement of his
withdrawal from the canvass. If this be
true, fno Senatorial candidate will espouse
or accept your views, what advantage
comes to you by continuing war upon
me because of my convictions. unless you
