Pointed Questions,

Ex- Congressman Bryan through
the Omaha paper OF which he is the
editor, has made public sn open letter
to the president in replyto Mr.. CleTe-
lands recent financial epistle. After
praising Coins financial school the
latter says:
"What do you mean by the phrase,
sound money! Ia your letter you
make frequent use of that and kim
dred phrases. In fact in the course OF
your letter, You speak three times OF
Sound money, twice of a safe cur
rency,' once Uf sound currency once
of safe and sound currency once
of safe and prudent financial ideas
and once OF wholesome financial
doctrine. You also speak once Of
'debased currency once of a degen-
Grated currency and once of cheap
money In one place you describe
your opponents as "the forces Of sill
yer monometallism,' but you no.
where explain what you mean by
sound money or what you consider
cheap money.
"Now everybody favors sound
moDoy' and safe currency and d
simple statement of what you mean
by these euphoniOus and universally
admired phrases might dispel the
warclouds and make line of battle
unnecessary.
IF by sound money you mean a
gold standard. why did you avoid the
use of the word gold in your letter.
If by safe currency you mean bi-
metallism, why did you avoid the use
OF the word 'bimetallism' in your let
teri
@Eour opponents favor the free and
unlimited coinage of gold bullion in
to dollars, each containing 25.8grains
Of standard gold. Are you in favor Of
this? Your opponents are in favof of
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver bullion into dollars, each con-
tanning 4l2.5 grains of standard silver.
Are You in favor of this? If not, are
You in favor of the coinage of silver
bullion into dollars of any size? If
not in favor Of the free coinage Of
silver, what charge, if any, would you
make for coinage?
ais the failure of gold standard ad-
vocates to define their purposes and
defend their financial system due to
lack of knowledge OF the subject or to
an Unwillingness to let people know
what they intend.
"lf the 'proprieties of your official
place oblige you to 'forego the enjoy
ment which you would derive from
the writing of anotherletter explaining
your last letter and defining your pu-
sition on the financial question please
designate some one who has authority
to speak for you. 80 that the people
may be afforded an intelligent oppor-
tunity, as you suggest. to study and
decide This now paramount public
question.

FRANKS OF STUDENTS.
Have Lots Of Sport with Two New
Members Of q Greek Society.



Passengers on north-bound jackson
park cable train in Chicago the other
afternoon were treated to q novel sight,
which reminded one of the stories Of
old Harvard and the limitations which
have made the "Dickey" club famous.
At Ellis avenue two students entered
the car and at once became the cyno-,
sure Of all eyes. One, B. b. Smith, from
Auburn Park,wus dramatically attired
in mortarboard cap, with red tassels.
white linen duster and shoes orna-
msnted with yellow bows. He bore In
his hand long tin horn and feather
dunter, with which he calmly busted
the advertisements in the car. The
other attractive individual, NJ. D. Nc
Intyre, OF Milwaukee,, was resplendent
in white plug hat gayly festooncsi
with ribbons. The two young men were
candidates for admission to the Omega
club of the university, which is a local
organization petitioning for charter
from the Psi Epsilon fraternity. A
number of the members of the club
were In the car and took great pleasure
in watching Smith entertain their fell
low passengers until Thirty-ninth
street was reached, when he was per-
nlitted to remove the attire which rcn.
dered him so conspicuous. Mcintyre
was compelled to continue his Journey
downtown and there to visit the offices
of several well-known members of Psi
Epsilon. In their presence he gravely
recited passages of Scripture applicable
to the situation.
Not SO funny, ut least to the victims,
IRE the pranks of fraternity students ut
Westminster college, New Wilmington,
Pa. Patience has long since ceased to
be virtue, and now this United Pres
byterian seat of learning is threatened
with disruption. The notwithstanding
students are undergoing q brutal aud
systematic course of hazing by tho
members of secret societies in the coll
lege.
The faculty has promised to root out
the societies, but this was not deemed
sufficient by some of the indignant stu
dents, and twenty-five left the institu-
ton the other day.
A student named Erslsin was taken
from his room u few nights ago and COW.
cred with shoe backing. Mr.. Mabon,
while on the way home from call on q
young lady, was first beaten, then
thrown over fence and left in q field.
This brutality was inflicted because
Mabon would not sing sacred songs.
Mabon has begun suit against four Of
his tormentors. He has always been
opposed to the Greek letter fraternities,
and has done all he could to suppress
them Mt Westminster.
The societies exist contrary to the
rules of the college, and oil students not
members have notified the faculty they
will leave unless the fraternities are
compelled to dissolve.

TO TEST HAMMOCK RIGHTS.
Agreed Case Made by the Law Department
and wyoming's Executive,

Agreed Case Made by the Law Department
and wyoming's Executive.
The government has taken steps to
test the Bannock Indians right under
their. treaty to hunt on unoccupied
public lands in the state of Wyoming.
The governor Of Wyoming, the secre-
tary of the interior and the attorney
general have agreed to submit the ques-
lions involved to the courts for deter
mination.
To establish basis for test case
Indian Agent Teter, at Fort Hall rescr-
vation, with two Bannock Indians,
went upon unoecupied government
lands in Wyoming to hunt, and accord
ing to the requirements of the test case
the Indians were promptly arrested
and taken to Evanston and were
charged with violations of the game
laws of the state of Wyoming.
In further pursuance of the agree
ment Attorney General Harmon has
telegraphed the district attorney to
apply at once for writ of habeas
corpus for the release of the prisoners.
Thus the question will be brought
squarely before the court. 1t is the
contention of the government that the
treaty of July %, 1868, with these In
dams secures to them the right to hunt
upon unoccupied government land in
the now state of Wyoming, and that
this treaty is superior to the laws en-
acted by the state which are in conflict

HELPED SARAH ALTHEA.
Wealthy Old Colored Nanny Who Fig
ured In tho sharon Divorce Suit.

Wealthy Old Colored Nanny Who Fig
ured In tho sharon Divorce Suit.
A New York Sun special from San
Francisco says: Nanny Pleasance, the
old colored woman who supplied the
sinews Of war for Sarah Althea's suit
against Millionaire Sharon, is dying.
She is o remarkable character. She
came here In the early fifties and acted
as housekeeper for rich southern fam
lily. She invested all her savings in city
real estate, so that to-day she is worth
S25O,o0O. When Sarah Althea Hill
came here from Missouri, she brought
letters to Nanny pleasance, and the old
coloredwomnn took q great fancy to the
handsome girl. When Sarah Altheu
quarreled with Sharon it was Nanny
who advised her to avoid the scandal of
divorce suit. She wrote a concilin-
tory letter to Sharon, which Sarah did
not send after 1t waswritten and sealed.
When the scandal was out and the
suit began, Nanny championed her
protege's cause and furnished her with
money. 1t was her money which pail
the heavy costs of the sensational suit
that dragged along in California courts
for ten years. Three years ago it was
plain that Sarah Althea's mind had
failed under her troubles and Nanny
was forced to put her charge in the
insane asylum, as she was violent. The
old woman has been very charitable.

JAPs WANT OUR COTTON.

rhey May Start Steamship Line to
Mexico.
Col. John A. Cockcrill, writing from
Yokohama, japan, to the Manufacture
ers' Record, says: 1.-THE Cotton Spin
ners' association of Osaka is now try
ing to induce the japanese government
to subsidize line of steamers to ply
between Osaka and Yokohama and
point on the west coast Of Mexico. The
Idea is to secure steamship line wholly
controlled by the japanese government,
and which will connect with tile Te-
hauntepec railway.
BY this route it is thought the cotton
Of the southern states can be reached
cheaper than by the way of Tacoma.
1t Is more than likely that this enter
prise will be carried out, for the jap
anese are giving great attention TO the
subject Of colonization in Mexico. An
other company has been formed here
with Viscount Enomota at its head to
purchase lands In Mexico and locate
thereon some Of the surplus population
Of Japan. Japan Is destined to become
ono Of the greatest cotton spinning
countries of the world. She will pur-
chase 90 per cent. Of her raw material
In the United States when the trans
portstion rates are properly adjusted"

Land Titles In indian Territorv.

There are now about three hundred
thousand white people in the Indian
territory. They have built up towns,
but are mere tenants at suffrance with
out particle of title to the lands OH
which they built. The Indian courts
are closed against them, as. are the In
dian schools to their children, thirty
thousand of whom have no other OPP
portunity for schooling, excepting
those whose parents are able to hire
private teachers. They have no voice
in the governments of these five ma
tions nor a police officer to protect
them or their property against vio-
lence. twill be the object of the com
mission, first, to obtain such a solu-
ton of the town-site question that
those who have built up these towns
and invested large sums in costly
buildings and expensive stores and
trading places may have some title to
the ground upon which the structures
stand and some voice in their govern
ment, and secondly, to see that the
vast and valuable territory shall be
held either according to the original
title, for all Indians equally, or shall
be allotted in severalty to them, SO
that each may hold his own share in
fee.-Chieago Chronicle.

TO DlsPLAcE COAL ENGINES.
Westinghouse Has Scheme by Which He
Can Mako Use OF Gas.


Westinghouse Has Scheme by Which He
Can Make Use OF Gas.
For years scientists have been dream
ing of securing direct energy from coal
and doing away with smoke and dirt.
George Westinghouse thinks he has
discovered the secret, and has been con-
ferring with New York railroad officials
with view of displacing coal locomo-
tives with gas engines. Mr.. Wcsting-
house said the other day he was forced
to the conclusion that new industrial
development from the common use OF
the gas engine, wherein from six to
ten times as much power can be OBJ
tanned from pound OF coal us is now
ordinarily obtained through the steam
engine, is Mt hand. Three gas engines
of an improved form have been con-
structed at East Pittsburgh, and a
fourth of 100 horse power is now being
erected.
The results already obtained from
the three engines tested justify the ex-
pectation that better results will be had
in the larger size of engines that have
been guaranteed by foreign manufac-
turers. Taking the New York elevated
railroad as an illustration, the saving of
fuel would amount to about 100000
per annum.

Twenty of the $50 riders who started
on century run from Jamaica, L. L.,
to New York, the other morning were
women. Two of them, Mrs. Robert L.
Stillson and Mrs. E. N. Myers, were pace
makers, the first women who have ever
acted in that capacity on wheels. Eff.
teen minutes start was given to the
women. Tho occasion was the second
annual century run of the South Brook
lyn wheelmen. The first detachment
finished at 6:10, and Mrs. Myers was
among them. She was still waiting two
hours later at the goal for her husband,
who was somewhere back on the track.
Among the 125 riders who finished the
run before 10 o'clock, fourteen were
women. Only one woman wore skirts,
and she had not appeared at late hour
in the evening. The remainder wore
either boomers or knickerbockers.

"How clover OF you to guess it all"
They had both forgotten their
original purpose by this time and were
really angry with each other.
"And this" he said, with all the
calmness he could command, lis the
girl who has promised to marry mel"
'She hasn't married you yet, and she
never will"

'Indeedl Then, Miss Bond, shall
bid you good night, and leave you to
enjoy the company of those whose ad-
miration you prize SO highly"
He rushed into the hallway and
picked up his hat AS he raised it to
his head a shower of assorted candies
ratified about him and scattered over
the carpet. By distracting his mind
from his anger for a moment this little
accident brought him to his senses. He
felt that he could not leave her so, and
returned to the parlor to ask il he
might ring for q servant to sweep up
the candies.
As he stepped back to the parlor
door he saw that May had thrown her.
self on the sofa and was sobbing vio-
lently. With one hand she was taking
the pins out of her hair and pulling it
down about her shoulders.
It is almost always true of lovers
quarrels that repentance comes swiftly,
thong h reconciliation may be slow. He
no sooner saw that she was crying than
he remem bered he had set to work to
make her cry. Everything else-her
exasperating conduct and all-was for
gotten in an instant. He rushed to
her side, and putting his arm about
her, pleaded:

had no right to actso disagreeably, and
am very sorry"
She instantly showed him very
fearful face.
mo! No! 1t is who should ask for
forgiveness. I made up my hair in
that horrid way on purpose to anger
you. Will you forgive me?"
They forgave in the conventional
way. A moment later she laughed
through the tears that were still fall
ing, as she reached up and took .
cream drop out Of his hair.
"Why, how did that get there?"
20! I brought that box of candies
and left it in my hat in the hallway.
When l was putting on my hat
spilled the boxful of candies over N.Y.
self. The floor is covered with them"
"Then you brought them after ALP"
''Yes! hid them out there just to
tease YOU"
"Why?" she asked. Then she re-
membered that she had done up her
hair to provoke him. They both
looked instinctively at the paper and
then at each other.
Were you reading those jokes, too?"
he asked.
She nodded, shamefacedly.
"And you thought you would not
be fool enough to marry me with
out having seen me enrnged?"
well, suppose you feel the better
of having seen me cry" she answered,
saucily.
At this point there occurred a lack Of

whispered: Fred, dear, have
