The Missouri ex-Congressman
Talks Silver

Str LOUIS, Mo-, July 21.-Ex-Con-
gresham Bland is in the city, and,
speaking of the silver question, said
There is no use trying to dodge
this issue any longer If the Demo-
cratic party does not declare for the
free coinage of silver it will be
wiped off the map. The newspapers
IN the large cities like st. Louis can
talk about the silver sentiment dy-
Ing out, but they are not going to
fool anybody. There may be a few
Democrats in the cities who will
follow the administration, but there
are practically none in the country
This convention will show how the
Democrats of Missouri stand. In or
der to win in the next campaign we
have got to take a bold stand for
silver, and we must be getting into
line
DO you think the. next Democratic
national convention will declare for
independent free coinage?''
I do not know whether it will or
not, but if it doesn't the party won't
stand the ghost of a show The people
al AOl SolI4S 10 1OlION d platform any
more which is meaningless, or intended
to deceive. Federal officeholders and
whisky gaugers may succeed in con-
trolling conventions, like they did in
Kentucky, but the people will not fol-
low Them
Would not a declaration for free
coinage lose US the vote of the large
cities?''
1T would unquestionably lose votes
in some cities, but we would gain in
Others"
Your name has frequently been
mentioned as a candidate for the pres
idency; what can l say about that?'
1t is all foolishness to talk about
candidates. There is no Democratic
party. There is nothing but chaos and
disorder"

RUIN0US TO ALL INDUSTRIES
AND 4 DANGER TO THE FUTURE
COMMERCE of AMER
ICA.
THE CRISIS NOW PREVAILING
In Central Europe Largely Due
to This and to SOcialistic
Agitation.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Some of
the leading business firms of Lux
emburg have united in a circular
letter addressed to all representa-
tive merchants in that place calling
attention to the ruin which threat
ems the textile industry of Central
Europe in consequence of the COM
petition and overproduction result
ing in the accumulation of great
stocks in warehouses and in the
hands of wholesale dealers. Because
this circular may point out dangers
that lie in wait in the future for
American manufacturers, United
States Commercial Agent G. H. Muir
ply, at Luxembourg, has transmit
ted extracts from it to the depart
ment Of state for publication in the
consular reports. In part, the circu-
lar reads as follows:
The great over-production in all
branches of industry and the conse-
Quent accumulation of stocks; the
threatening clouds arising from time
to time on the political horizon; the
widespread discomfort aroused by So
cialistic agitation and the unfavorabIe
news received from other parts of the
world, would be the causes of the
crisis now prevailing in Central
Europe in all branches of business.
To these misfortunes another has
recently been added, which threatens
complete revolution in retail business
AS the locust threatens the fields, so
all retail business is threatened by a
new sort of retail auction shop. In
nearly every town of Germany, France
and Belgium such shops have
been opened to great injury
to local trade. Large and ex-
pensive advertisements are scat
tered broadcast to inform the public
of the sale Of masses of so-called
auction wares. In reality, though,
these are old stock wares, which it is
desired to dispose of at any price, or
they are in some cases worthless
wares manufactured especially for this
purpose.
In France, Belgium and Germany
drastic measures have been adopted
against these swindlers In all these
cities the established firms have united
and made common cause against these
dangerous competitors and their eff
forts have been successful Their
united strength has succeeded in keep
ing the auction shop merchants within
certain bounds; new laws have been
made which partially protect honest
mercantile houses and the purchasing
public.
The circular closes with an earnest
appeal to every honest business man

HEARNE RETURNS.
He Has Employed Eminent Law
YerS TO Defend Him.

HANNIBAL, Mo, July 21.-Dr. J. c.
Hearne and wife returned TO Hannibal
today from Chicago, TO which city they
went to take the deposition of Mrs.
Susan Hayward in the Hearne-De
Young libel suit. George A. Mahan,
attorney for De Young, will return to-
night, and DR.. Hearne is responsible
for the statement that Judge Hendrick,
one Of his attorneys, will not return
until tomorrow night or Tuesday
morning. He has friends in Chicago
whom he is visiting.
The return of DR.. Hearne and wife
to Hannibal refutes the report that
they would go from Chicago to Cali
fornia, and many now believe that the
taking of DISPOSITIONS here on the part
of DR.. Hearne will be inaugurated.
No subpoenaes are out for Monday,
however, and it is safe to say that if,
at all. the work will not be begun be-
fore Tuesday or Wednesday. The en-
ployment of Nat c. Dryden by Dr.
Hearne as additional counsel in his
case has been widely discussed here to-
day and is looked upon as significant.

LOVELY WOMAN.
Her Queer Disposition Crops Out
Even Over the Sales Counter.

Her Queer Disposition Crops Out
Even Over the Sales Counter.
New York Sun.
A few days ago a young matron
wearing a linen shirt waist, a serge
skirt and a simple sailor hat went
into the suit department of a New
York house and asked to see some
gowns.
Something that has some style to it
and fits WELL" she stipulated to the
deliberately got-up sa1eswoman who
came forward to serve her.
The brown hair Of the saleswoman
was curled and coiffed in just the
proper mode, the bugles on her bosom
glittered with every movement, tbs
crisp sleeves of her regulation black
silk dress stood out at just the cor
rect angle, and the lines of her tight,
very ught-fitting corsage were so Sc
we're and stiff that it seemed that no
emotion, however imprisoned, could
bend them into suppleness. From the
standpoint of her own get-up she
looked the customer over and sized her
up, or thought she did.
We have nice assortment of
gowns at $75,' she announced.
"Oh, | want something little more
reasonable said the shopper.
"A little more reasonable repeated
the saleswoman superciliously. why,
no lady wears a gown that costs less
than $60''
The manner more than the words
irritated the listener. Have you any
asked, and, turning to the foor-walker,
she asked him to find some one to wait
on her who had some knowledge of
gowns under $50.
An angry red deepened the perpetual
blush on the salesWoman' s cheek as she
realized her mistake, and the next
day, when she recognized that Gus
toner on the street, she glared at
her.

The MILLERITES.
A Famous Religious Sect Recalled
by the Suicide of One of Its
Mem berS.
Chicago Times-Herald.

Chicago Times-Herald.
The death by suicide of Allen Petit
bone, of Connecticut, at the age of
ninety-four, recalls the famous Miller
tie prophecies Of more than sixty years
ago. He was one of the chief and in
fiuential followers Of Miller, and has
bene a sort of connecting link be-
tween that day of delusion and the
present time.
There are probably not many per
sons now living who remember much
about that strange sect that sprang up
in a day almost and spread through
New England New York and PennSyl-
vaEia ike wildhre in the early thirtieS.
William Miller, a native OF New York,
was the founder Of this sect, and in
1881, after long and careful study OF
the Bible, he proclaimed that the sec
ond coming OF Christ would occur some
time between March =, 1885, and Aarcn
z, 1874, and that the world would be
judged and destroyed.
Like a second Peter the Hermit, he
went through the country preaching
his peculiar doctrine. He made thou
sanus Of converts, and as the time
approached for the fultillment of his
prophecies, the whole country became
interested. 1t was at one time believed
that as the day approached the Miller
ties actually arrayed themselves in
ascension robes, but this was not so.
The years 1913 and 1874 passed away
much as other years, and then it was
seen there had been some error in the
computation and Miller frankly ac-
knowledged his mistake. However, he
held TO the belief that the appointed
day was not far off, and he died in
that faith in the year 1850. His imme-
date followers, who chung TO the doc
trine Notwithstanding the failure of
the prophecy, numbered over &c, 900,
and, under the name of Adventists, or
Second Adventists, have gone on in
creasing in numbers ever since, and
have carried their faith into many
quarters of the globe.
1t was a time of strange decisions.
Morn1onism sprang up in the thirties,
and so did communism and socialism
under the teachings of Robert Owen
and Fanny Wright. Phrenology be-
came widespread study, and among
the fads We're hydropathy and the
Graham diet and the ThompSonian
cure.
Our grandfathers had a large coun-
try, but the means of transporta ton
were bad, so they had to stay at home
and try to find out new things for
themselves. The result was that there
are more curious 'isms'' belonging to
that period than to any other of our
history. and Millerism. which Petit
bones death recalls, is one of them
But to think of it-suicide at ninety
four, One would suppose that he would
have desired above all things TO
round out the century.

DUELING UNDER A CLOUD.
Participants in n Recent Mexican
Event VIII BE Tried.

CITY OF MEXICO, July 21-Via
Laredo, Text is now announced
that shortly all the participants in the
famous duel in which Col. Francisco
Romero shot and killed Jose Veras-
tegui, prominent government official,
will soon be brought to trial under the
provisions Of the criminal code for
bidding and Furnishing dueling. The
case is likely to create a sensation, as
Verasteguis friends are alleged to
have evidence favorable to the prose-
cution. Gen. Sostenes Rocha, who
holds the rank of general of division
and is a skillful and valiant officer,
was judge of the field, and it is said
that as the code does not provide any
penalty for holding that place he will
be absolved. 1t is also probable that
DR.. Preciado will be acquitted, and in
any case only fine can be imposed on
him. Since the famous duel was fought
with fatal results there has been a
notable falling off in challenges.

r. Peculiar Rock

Did-you ever see a geode. The ugly.
creamy, yellow, rounded rock, which
upon being broken open presents &:
perfect wilderness of diamond-liks
crystals? They are oddities of the
oldest kind, and are not too plentiful
anywhere. The word "geode'' means
--'earthform" and is applied to all hol-
low. stones which are filed with crys>
tallized matter. When broken open
some are found to be full of pure-look-
ing, clear water. Others appear to he
full of yellow or brown paint, while
a third class are filled with what ap-
pears to be a very fair quality of tar.
No odds what the filling of the cavity
may be composed of, the sides are al
ways studded with crystals. Should
the filling be yellow the crystals are
likely to be of the same color, but by
far the greater portion of them are a.
clear as ice or diamonds.

Trouble Between Cattlemen and
Sheepmen Nearing a Crisis.


RAWLINS, Wyo., July 21.-The
trouble between the cattle and
sheep men in Reutt county, Col, is
not yet settled, by any means. The
cattlemen are determined to pre-
vent the sheep from grazing on
through the summer range in the
mountain foothills, while the sheep
men are just as determined to oc-
cupy their old ranges. Several of
the largest sheep owners being
among the Oldest settlers in the
county, claim some of their bitter
est enemies among the cattlemen
are newcomers or small farmers,
and own but little cattle.
The Bee representative was in
formed today by a very reliable
man who just came in from the
south that the cattlemen have
staked a deadline, and threaten to
kill all sheep that pass beyond, and
that they are patrolling the country
The sheep men say they will occupy
their former summer ranges peace
fully if possible, forcibly if driven
to it. Both parties are said to be
arming. A conflict may be expected
at any time unless there are con-
cessions on both sides.

AUSTRALIANS RICH MEN.
Some Are Ex-Convicts and Many
of Them Have Shady Records,

Chicago Record.
The Mr.. Pate. who has just died.
leaving a large fortune acquired in
the Antipodes, and who is briefly re-
ferred to as a, colonial magnate by the
London newspapers, which record the
admitting to probate of his will, is no
other than an ex-convict who, some
forty years ago, achieved much noto-
riety through out the length and
breadth of Europe. He was a 1ieuten-
ant of the Tenth Hussars-the Prince
of Wales own-which is commanded
by the heir apparent, and in which the
late duke of Clarence received his mill
tary training
He lost his-c commission and dis
graced himself forever by striking
Queen Victoria in the face with a cane
while she was leaving Cambridge
house after visit to the deathbed of
her faVorite uncle, the late Duke of
Cambridge, father of the present gen.
eralissimo of the British army. She
bears the mark of the cut inflicted by
Z the cane to this day.
For this gross outra ge young Robert
Pate, who was one of the fashionable
men-about-toWn, and a member of
most of the exclusive clubs, was SEN
fenced to seven years transportation
and penal servitude in Tasmania. Be-
fore the expiration of his sentence he
was released on a ticket-of-leave, con-
ditional on his remaining in the anti
Podes, and like SO many other ex-con-
victs he settled down in the great
Australian dependency of Queen Vic
toria, and by dint of hard work and
judicious investments realized an eX-
ceptionally large fortune.
In spite of his altered circum-
stances, however, of his responsibility
and influence, he was subjected to
close surveillance by the police at the
express desire of the royal family until
the day of his death. Strangely
enough, no reason has ever been dis
covered for his extraordinary and
wholly uncalled for attack upon his
sovereign. 1t seems to have been due
to the impulse of a moment and to an
uncomfortable fit of insanity.
Let me add, that a large number Of
the millionaires who constitute the
plutocracy Of Australia and who prac-
tically rule the roost out there are, if
not eX-convicts. at any rate the off
spring Or descendants of individuals
who made the trip out in manacles and
who left home for their country's good.
This is one of the reasons why colonial
magnates-no matter how wealthy,
generous and respectable-are always
lookfd upon with a certain degree of
suspicion.

OPENED AN OHIO MOUND.
Nine Skeletons OF Prehistoric
Man Brought to Light.

FRANKFORT, O., July Civ. K.
Moorehead, curator Of the state uni
versity museum, made some impor-
tant discoveries in the ancient
mounds near here during the past
week. One mound which he opened
contained nine skeletons buried two
feet below the surface in a layer
of gravel. The bones are those of
short, heavy, muscular men. The
skulls are thick and rather round,
and the facial angle is low. Several
skulls give evidence of artificial fiat
tening of the base during infancy.
No skeletons found in Ohio present
a more inferior tribe physically. In
other gravel knobs about this place
Mr.. Moorhead discovered further
evidence of burials of similar char
acter. Arrowheads, axes, copper
bracelets and various ornaments lay
by nearly every skeleton. DR.. Thorn
as Wilson, of the Smithsonian insti-
tute, and Mr.. Moorhead visited all
the caves of the Hooking and Paint
valleys in search of traces of the oc-
cupation of glacial man.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, July
2l.-The customs authorities of the
Puget sound district have been in
structed by the government to keep
a sharp outlook for filibustering
parties fitting out for the Hawaiian
islands. A few days ago it was re-
ported vessels were openly loading
and freighting to the islands NUM-
lions of war. Orders have now been
issued to closely watch and search
all vessels bound to the South seas
for arms. 1t is believed a large
quantity of arms and ammunition
has been smuggled into Hawaii
from Puget sound. 1t is positively
known that secret agents of the
royal isle dispatched one small con-
signment to the islands last October.
One source Of information says an
uprising is announced to begin Sept
1, and that 1880 will be in readiness
to bear arms against the govern
ment. The insurgents, after being
repeatedly drilled in Southern Cali
fornia, expect to get their stores and
assistance from Puget sound.

SCANNED At THE VATICAN.
The Bishop Talks of the Church
in Europe.


OMAHA, Neb., July q. - Bishop
Scanned, Of Omaha, has returned
from his visit to Rome.
Il had one audience with Pope
Leo KILL said the bishop, land
found him a very old man, but for
his years he looks very bright The
weight Of years does not seem to
have any effect on his mental facul-
ties, so far as I could see, judging
from his conversation and the ap-
pearance of his face
Speaking of the audience, Bishop
Scanned said: You must observe
that these audiences are very short.
The pope is very old and the bishops
seldom get a private audience. They
are rather formal affairs, because
the pope's time is very much occu-
pied. 1t would not be possible to
get into the discussion of questions
spoken of at any length, even if 1
were at liberty to tell them now"
Concerning the condition of the
Catholic church in Italy, France,
Germany, England and Ireland, the
bishop took occasion to say: I'm
Italy l think there was a great i'm
provement in the relations of the
people and the government since my
last visit. In France things are not
so satisfactory. France is a repub-
lie only in name; it is an oligarchy.
1t is governed by a few men who
are not in harmony with the mass of
the people. 1t is centralized gov
eminent. The projects and mayors
Of the towns depend on the central
power for Office. The result is that
there is no republican form of gov
eminent in the country. The French
people don't seem capable Of any
organization"

HIRED BOYS TO WHIP HIM.
Strange Penance InduIged In by
a COyingtOn Man.

CINCINNATI, O., July 21-While
Robert Bisler, of Covington, KY, and
two companions were out slzif riding
on the Licking river yesterday they
saw nude boys whipping some one
tied to a log. They rowed to shore and
found the person fastened to the log
had quickly slipped out of his bands
and escaped. The boys were whipping
a man who had engaged them to do it.
They had long branches which were
covered with long thorns and said they
had been engaged by the unknown to
punish him in this manner and at the
same hour every day for the past week
they had gone through the same per
Torrance. Investigation showed the
affair was not fake. The Covington
police have been hunting the man of
penance all day and will continue IN
til he is caught.

Toledo Poles Rioting.

TOLEDO, O., July PA shooting
ARRAY occurred last night in the Polish
settlement, in which Frank NowitZki
received wounds from which he died
this evening. The trouble is the result
of a long standing feud between two
factions Of the church, which was in
tensified by the discharge of a school
teacher by the priest on the ground of
incompetency. His friends took up the
fight, and trouble similar to that of a
year ago is anticipated. Already riot
ing and fighting has begun among the
Poles, and the police are powerless to
night, and an extra detail OF officers
are guarding that portion of the city.
