Moltke's idea of Fun.

The boyish delight of the Prussian
generals at reaching Paris is shown in
the story of carouse held at Ferrieres,
near Meaux. told in letter of General
NcrJ,y du Vernois, which was written in
1870:
yesterday was such fatiguing day,
but lively and agreeable. At King
William gave grand banquet. His
majesty knew that we had to dine at

We staid at table from till 10. Moltke
then set up whist tables. AS the punch
was delicious, we all staid till l i'll
the morning. Bismarck told lot Of
funny stories, and none funnier than his
account of Jules Favre's interview and
the interminable speeches Of that French
envoy. One might fancy oneself, Bis
marck said, at public meeting when
he talked.
"They read us some verses that he
was sending to Germany. In conse-
quence of his dropping a line, the eff
feet was to the last degree comic. We
all went off into roars of laughter-one
of us lay fat on the table, another skip
ped round it, and Moltke showed his
sense of comicality by sleeping bits of
bread in his full wineglass and throw
ing them in our faces This dinner took
place in a small chateau belonging to an
aristocratic old French lady. She did
the honors of her house in courtly, old
fashioned style, but she spoke no other
language but French. The dinner went
off so we'll that our host felt he must
thank the old lady. Unfortunately he
knew no French. His enthusiasm was
aroused by the moonlight that poured
down on a terrace where we took coffee.
He went to the marquise, and mastering
what words of French he knew took her
tenderly by the hand, and pointing to the
waning moon said, Foyer, madame,
uuel joli demi monde. }" ~, - ~

Turkeys Subjects and England.

Probably Turkish rule in Armenia is
not much worse than in Macedonia, and
if the Armenians are to be pitied so are
the Macedonians, for the Turk is a
blighting curse to every subject race
within his dominions. If we are sincere
IN our fervor for good government in
Turkey, we must renounce the idea OF
sacrificing these races to our political
aim of maintaining Turkey as bulwark
against Russia. This was the doctrine
of Mr.. Gladstone, and roundly has he
been abused for it. The contrary doc
trine has been that of Lord Salisbury
and Lord Rosebery. Mr.. Gladstone rec
ognized the paramount obligation of
conscience. Lord Rosebery, Lord Sails
bury and many of their predecessors
subordinated conscience to what they
regarded as the exigencies of policy. -

WITCH HAZEL OIL
Changing Diseases.

In that delightful book, "Rider
Grange" the husband of Pomona
gives as his reasons for not remov-
ing from a malarial neighborhood,
that it don't do for man at his
time of life to 60 about changing
his diseases and adding, that there
are diseases incident to almost
every locality, and he likes a dis
ease he is used to.
Now, in case of malarial dis
eases, aside from the unwilling
ness of patients to "change dis
cases." it is generally not conven-
lent to change their residence. If
this were done in every case, some
of our most thriving communities
would be depopulated.
Nothing is left to do therefore
but to fortify oneself against mala-
rial influences. For this purpose
Drs, Starkey & Palen's Compound
Oxygen has proved itself in the
past % years the most efficient
thing in the world.
ANY person desiring to change
diseases for health should write us
a plain statement of the case, when
if possible, the way will be point
ed out. The consultation is with
out charge. Address Drs. Stark
ey De Palen, 1929 Arch Street,

Dug Up a Jar Containing Old Coin.

Thomas Moore, Jr., and two other
workmen, while excavating for pipe
connections at Market square, in Ches-
ter, Pa, on Thursday morning unearth-
ed a small preserving jar, containing
gold and silver Spanish coin, estimated
to be worth at least $3.50. Some of the
coin bore the date of 1900, and other
pieces later date. An old market
house, erected in the last century, stood
on the site where the money was found,
and it was torn down in 1857. 1t is
thought the money was buried by one of
the marketmen. Philadelphia Ledger.

A Conditional Gift Declined.

The Episcopal diocese of Milwaukee
has refused a gift of $4,000. Bishop
Nicholson has formally notified Francis
Keene that it is impossible for the Epis-
copal diocese to accept the offer of the
Keene homestead for hospital purposes.
The action of the bishop was on the adj
Vice of the diocesan hospital committee.
Though the committee has not given up
hope of ultimately securing a hospital
for the Episcopal church in Milwaukee,
the prospects at present are anything but
bright 1t would not accept the gift be-
cause Of the condition that the hospital
should always be known as the Keene
hospital. Chicago Tribune.

An Interrupted Opera.

Lincoln and host of notables were
present at the old National in Washington
when "Norma" was given the greatest
and most impressive presentation then or
since known in America Only one fussy
little man had noted or cared about the
hour. But in the very climax of the thun-
dering passages of Oroveso's invocation
this same fussy little man ambled in upon
the stage, watch in hand. 1t was Manager
Leonard Grover, who alphabetically but
determinedly piped out: This perform
ance must be Immediately closed. 1t is
now tomorrow morning. and then wrig-
gled himself out of sight. Every eye, al
ready fixed upon Herman, seemed now
transflxed upon him as if for solution of
the tremendous faux pas, and Mr.. Lincoln
half arose from his chair as if TO command
the completion of Norma But Herman
was the real master then. Clad in his flow
ing robes, he majesticaliy strobe to the foot
lights. With outstretched hands in pos
ture of benediction he sang Rock of
Ages" as il will never be sung again
Then, still standing there, he lifted his
arms with a suggestive movement, the au-
iience obediently arose, and in a moment
more the vast assemblaRe had silently
passed out into the street.

The great predominating elements OF
Mr.. Lincoln's peculiar character were,
first, his great capacity and power of rea
son; second, his conscience and his excel
lent understanding; third, an exalted idea
of the sensc of right and equity; fourth,
his intense veneration of the true and the
good. His conscience, his heart and all
the faculties and qualities of his mind
bowed submissively to the despotism OF
his reason. He lived and acted from the
standard of reason-that throne of logic,
home of principle, the realm of deity ID
man. 1t is from this point Mr. Lincoln
must be viewed. Not only was he eau

Mr.. Carlisle. In discussing the legal
ratio, assumes that the United States
can accomplish no more by free coin
age than our little neighbor. Mexico

will be produced upon the value of asl.
yer bullion by the unlimited use b
in the United States. In other Woy /
he does not take into considerationI4yAks
fact that the United States is, in COM
mercial standing, more than ten times
as great as Mexico, and he does not
take into consideration the fact that
an increased demand, such as would be
furnished by the United States, will af-
feet the price of that portion of silver
which falls upon the market.
In estimating the amount of gold
available for coinage annually, he fails
to consider the great increase in the
consumption of gold in the arts and
The increase in commerce in the last
hundred years. Mr.. Carlisle holds out
no hope of international bimetallism,
but insists that it is the duty of this
government to maintain a gold stan
dard, n trys to show that it will
cause no appreciation in the value of
the dollar.
AT the Memphis convention Mr..
Catchlngs insisted that the opponents
OF silver were expecting international
blmetallism. This seeming conflict be-
tween Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. Catchings
can be easily explained. Mr.. Carlisle
believed that the government should
buy whatever silver it needs, and there
fore might be called a 'buy-metallist.'
MI. Catchings is in favor of the restor-
alton OF silver after awhile, if other ma
tons will help us, and, therefore, may
be called a neutrality-suspicious.

What need is there for bimetallism
II the gold standard will furnish a sui,

sion that bimetallism is desirable de-
stroys all arguments advanced in be-

one has admitted the desirability of BIZ
metallism he must either favor the res
toratlon of it by the United States
alone or submit the destinies of this
people to foreign nations. 1t has been

put an English banker at the head Of
our financial system than to put an
English admiral at the head of our
navy or an English general at the head
OF our army"
Mr.. Bryan discussed various phases
OF the money question. He closed by
saying that Secretary Carlisle had de-
serted the struggling masses" for
whom he formerly spoke, but that even
without his leadership they would be
able to cast their ballots for the restor-
alton of the gold n silver coinage of
the constitution, and that the present
efforts of Secretary Carlisle, instead of
retarding the movement, would make
his former speech familiar to the
American people and show them the
danger of entrusting their financial
policy to the ''idle holders of idle cap.
ital, or to their representatives."

Notwithstanding the persistence
with which the goldbugs urge the i'm
p%ortance Of the metal in a dollar being
intrinsically worth 100 cents, or its
legal face value, every noted political
economist that is worth being quoted
as authority, from Aristotle to John
Sherman, has laid it down as a prin-
ciple of finance that it is the volume Of
money in circulation and not the ma
terial OF which it is composed that fixes
its value. The goldbugs have chosen
gold, not because of it's intrinsic value.
but because of it's scarcity and the ease
with which they can manipulate the
currency when based upon gold. Even
now they propose to base most Of the
currency which shall be put in circu-
iation on bonds which are really based
upon the credit of the people.
