 Here, take this" Teddy handed out what was left of his lunch and the lad began to eat in n rayenous fashion.
 Why did you run off, Joe?" he asked.
 The lad detected note of kindness and sympathy in the question. "pll tell you" he replied. Say, you've got D good home, ain't you?"
 ''As good one as a fellow need want" Teddy replied warmly.
 "So had l." Joe went on, ''and only year ago, You've heard about it. reckon. We lived on JaclSson's farm as ten ants-father an mother an me. Then a tree fell on father an killed him, and in June mother died. Then the county bound me over to Jefferson Skinner.

 'I guess I wouldn't" exclaimed Teddy.

 "Yes, I remember" said Teddy. "He was an awful nice man." You bet he was" assented Joe.

 Teddy thought of the promised gold piece within his grasp, hesitated rue- fully and then made up his mind with boyish promptness.

CARLiSlE'S BILL.
The Secretary of the Treasury Amending
 His Currency Scheme.

| His Currency Scheme.
 | WASHINGTON, Jan. l6. - Secretary Carlisle has been at work for the past three or four days preparing such amendments to the currency scheme as were suggested in the course of the de- bate on the measure in the house. It Is probable that he will have the meas- ure complete and that another effort will be made to pass rule to give the plan consideration in a day or two. The principal change made by Mir. Car lisle in the bill relates to the character of money which may be used for the 30 per cent. deposits of banks to secure circulation. Both the original Carlisle bill and the substitute provide that this 30 per cent. should be in greenbacks or notes of 1890. The secretary now pro- poses to change this so as to permit the use of gold, silver, silver certificates, treasury notes or greenbacks, in the discretion of the government. This is intended to meet the objections to the former bill that the treasury notes and greenbacks might be ''cornered" by the bankers and become scarce and possi- ply go to a premium, as the only basis for national banking currency.
 It is designed also to meet in this way the objection of the silver men, that silver and silver certificates were discriminated against in not being made available as security for the na- tional bank currency. Coupled with this amendment is one providing for the coinage of the silver seigniorage of the treasury. The democratic mem- bers of the committee who favor action believe that they can secure considera- tion in the house for the measure thus modified, and they even express hope that they can control majority on a | final vote

CRISIS IN FRANCE
The President of the Republic Resigns-Io
 Creates Great COnsternatjon.

Creates Great Consternation.
 PARIS, Jan. 16.-It was announced yesterday evening that M. Casimir- Perier, president of the French repub- lie, had resigned his office. During the evening he conferred with the pres- ident of the senate and then summoned M. Guerin, minister of justice; M. Leyques, minister of public instruc- ton; M. Poincarre, ministepof finance, and the prefect of the Seine. M. Leyques had long conversation with Perier, the result of which is not known.
 A second official note was, issued at Il o'clock at night announcing the resignation of the president, and fore casting the ideas he intends to develop in his farewell address to the chamber of deputies. The note says that in the eyes of the president Mondays sitting of the chamber and the vote which overthrow the cabinet were only sec ondary incidents of the struggle which is proceeding against the parliamentary regime and public liberties. M. Casi- mir-Perier had hoped the president of the republic, who is deprived of means of action, would have been ex- empted from party attacks and the es- pecial confidence of the, republicans would have accorded him power and authority. He has also hoped those who, despite himself, had placed him in a position where he, was unable to defend himself, would have under taken the defense of the first magis- trate. Continuing, the note says the president has requested the ministers to temporarily withdraw their resigna- tions in order to facilitate the neces- sary changes.
 When the facts became known con- sternation, amounting almost tostupor, seized everyone. There had been ominous hints in the press that M. Casimir-Perier was growing tired of his position, yet nobody paid attention to them. The high character, experi- ence, firmness and integrity of the president inspired the confidence of even the advanced republicans.

 The scene beggars description. Wagons are still taking dead bodies from the scene of the explosion to vari. ous undertaking establishments, and the wounded to their homes and hos, pitals.

HILL FOR SILVER.
Latest from the New York Senator-Hs
 Fayors Free Coinage.


 Favors Free Coinage.
 NEW YORK, Jan. IA letter from Senator D. E. Hill, of New York, will be published here to-day, which will attract considerable attention as bear ing upon the campaign of 1896. In it he declares that the free coinage of silver as well as gold must be held out as the goal which the country must ultimately reach" The letter was written nearly two years ago, just prior to the memorable extra session of 1893, to Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, who gives it to the public with the consent of Senator Hill. Senator Hill begins by saying that in the first and only interview he had with President Cleveland, he urged the call ing of the extra session of congress in April of that year instead of Septem- Der, the presidents preference. He favors the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law, but an acceptable sub stitute for it should be provided. However, the repeal should be made at once, and other financial matters be considered afterwards
 'I am," he says, lin favor of bimet- allism as the issue of the future" He is for free coinage under an interna- tional agreement, if possible, and if not possible, then for independent bi- metallism. He says: ''I do not believe in the Bland bill or any other measure which guarantees anything less than unrestricted coinage for gold and sil- yer alike, as pledged in the democratic national platform. We should continue to hold out free coinage as the goal which the country must ultimately reach"
