MR.. HENDERSON WANTS A PAPER.
Offers from Outside to Aid Him In
Starting a New Paper.

J. o. Henderson, ex-Auditor of State, has
been negotiating for the purchase of the
Sentinel. 1t is understood that he has made
an offer of s15O,0O0 for the plant, and that it's
present owners hold it for 100000. Mr..
Henderson was approached some time ago
by leading politicians of the State in an eff
fort to enlist him in a scheme to start a
Democratic daily here but he declined
to take any part in the plan, and suggest
ed that he would be willing to buy if the
Sentinel could be bought. Negotiations have
been in progress since then, with some
probability of the deal being made, it is
said. The capital for the new enterprise
has been offered by number of men scat
tered throughout the State. One man in
Anderson agreed to furnish $4,000, and
others have made offers of smaller amounts.
Mr.. Henderson partly denies the rumor
that he would make the paper, if purchased,
Matthews organ He qualities his denial
with the statement that he has always been
on friendly terms with the Governor, and
naturally would continue in that line, but
that the paper would not be a hidebound
organ for Mr.. Matthews.

PROF. MOULTON'S LECTURE.
He Finds a Strong Study of Character
in the Play of Caesar.

Richard Green Moulton last night deliv-
cred lecture in the University Extension
Course at Plymouth Church, the meeting
place having been changed thence from the
Propylaeum. The subject was Julius Gaze
sar. This play, he said, is study of
character. Interest of character, he con-
tinued. is an obvious side to Shakespeare
study. Shaksperean play is an mex
haustible storehouse of material for discus
sion of character; even the minor person
ages bringing light enough to warrant spec
ulation upon the whole character from the
small sample of it. A valuable touchstone
of character is the antithesis of the prac-
tical and the inner life This, said Prof.
Moulton, belongs to all places and times;
in the Roman world of the play it might
manifest itself in conflicting claims of pub
lie and private life, policy and friendship.
the cause and the self. In Brutus Prof.
Moulton discovered both lives evenly bal
anced, but the inner yelled by stoicism
Thus his weight in affairs is greater than
that of Cassius. For his softer side the
lecturer drew upon the scene with Portia
a colossal type of practical life, with the
inner nature undeveloped Thus in the
scenes of the play his personality appears
not great qualities of action, but knowledge
of his own and others individuality. In
natures are developed. but the inner DOM
mates the outer, Transforming the whole
into the single diSinterested passion for
republican freedom. In Anthony both the
practical and the inner nature is developed,
but the. former is made secondary to the
outer, the whole being summed up in the
interested purpose of self-advancement.
Professor Moulton spends half the year
in extension work of the Chicago Univer-
sty and the other half in the university
itself. He makes trip from Chicago to
Minneapolis and returning goes at
once to Cincinnati. He gives his Sundays
to Biblical literature, and thus every day
of the week he delivers two and sometimes
three lectures. He is an Englishman, and
came TO this country, he said, because the
English universities will not teach En-
glish.
THAT is strange statement to make,
he said last night to a Journal reporter at
the Denison House. "but it is true. Both
Oxford and Cambridge will teach only the
languages in their Latin and Greek in
struction, and 1 do not believe in that.
were you taught SO? All have to say is that
you would have found it worse in England"

CHALLENGE TO CARLISLE.
Senator Blackburn Wants to Fight
the Secretary ON the Silver Issue.

LOUISVILLE, April 20.-In an interview
published in to-day's Courier-Jour11al, Sem
ator Blackburn, in unmistakable terms,
outlines his position the silver question
and boldly throws down the gauntlet
to his opponents for similar candor on the
same subject With his usual aggressive
ness the Senator almost dares his opponents
to meet him on the issue he presents. and
it may be assumed that the challenge will
be promptly accepted. Though Senator
Blackburn has persistently and repeatedly
been solicited for an exact expression
through the newspapers of his views on
silver, he has heretofore declined to be
interviewed, and the statement given to-
day is the first and only interview to which
having ing written ' With his sA own hand the the

OPPOSED TO SILVER
SECRETARY MORToN's VIEW OF
THE FREE COINAGE QUESTION.
He Does Not Believe Any Agreement
Can Establish n Permanent Ratio
Meaning of .sound Money,

WASHINGTON. April 2os-Secretary Nor
ton, in an interview to-day on the silver
question said:
II do not believe that an international
congress can establish permanently a CONF
mercial ratio between gold and silver any
more than 1t can establish a permanent
commercial ratio between rye and wheat.
But IL an international conference can fix
the price. in gold or silver. it can also fix
the price of wheat, or of any other COM
shrinRages in values which tend to Cause
panics. My own judgment is that we must
sooner or later declare that the United
best and least nuctuating measure OF value
and medium of exchange which the COM
1T is barely possible the financiai faliacies
of the Populists may temporarily secure
majority of the voters of the United States.
Should such catastrophe overtake the
country. the people must learn by exper-
fence what they should have learned by
diligent study and reason.
THE time for straddiers has passed.
Those who are, for a sound currency on
gold basis ought to have the courage to say
ration. 1t makes difference to me
whether a declaration of truth, either on
arily drives votes from us or allures them
to us. / have no hesitation in declaring my
self utterly opposed to all the free-coinage
My Judgment is that silver cannot be re-
stored to it's former monetary place in the
commerce of this world, because the supply
of silver has outgrown the demand for sill
yer in the exchanges of civilization. The
relation of supply to demand is the sole
regulator of value This axiom applies
alike to SALT silver, sugar and soap. All
legislation of all the lawmaking bodies on
the face of the globe can neither mitigate
nor annul the operation of the memorable
law. that the relation of supply to demand
is the sole regulator of value
1.-The Presidents critics, however, ask
what sound money iS?' said the reporter.
AN ordinary may answer that.
Sound money is that sort of currency
which has most universal and least fluctu-
all countries. That money is the 'soundest
for which throughout the commerce of the
civilized world there is the most universal
demand; and that universal demand is al
ways based on the universal and fiuctuating
purchasing power of that money"

ONE DOLLAR is WORTH TWO.
Thomas f. Chandeliers Experience
with Silver In Mexico.

Thomas E. Chandler, of Chandler G.
Taylor, who recently arrived home from a
trip with his wife to southern Mexico re-
lates that when he was there one American
dollar bought two of Mexican silver. This
was true whether the American dollar was
gold, paper or silver itself, weighing less
as bullion than the Mexican silver. still
there is not a great deal said about the
silver question there said Mr.. Chandler.
''They are all for free coinage Every
thing is comparatively low and meal that
twenty-five cents there. The Mexican dol
lar weighs about 40 grains, which makes it
contain more silver than ours, and yet it
takes two to buy what one of ours will
buy. understand Mexican dollars be-
ing coined in San Francisco for the Chi
trade. The Mexican bonds are owned in
Mexico and when the interest is paid it
takes a monstrous big pile of the white
metal to pay it. There is such scarcity of
fuel In Mexico that the number of smelling
or reducing facilities is limited. l think
there are not more than four or five reduc-
ing plants in the whole country. Fuel is
too high. ] bought some kerosene at one
point to heat my room, Mrs. Chandler be-
ing ill, at seventy-fve cents a gallon. There
is said to be some coal in Mexico, but it is
not near the railroads. The situation there
as to silver and the lack of fuel makes it
difficult for the American business with
Mexico ever to reach very large proper
tions.

A DYING GIRLS STORY
WRONGED BY AN ENGLISH CLERGY
MAN AND SENT TO AMERICA.
q Physician Arrested ON the
Charge of Murder.

DETROIT, Mich, April 2O.-By a confess
sion made to Prosecuting Attorney Frazier,
to-day, was unearthed one of the most
wicked of plots imaginable for disposing
of an erring girl and her babe in order to
cover the tracks of her betrayer. The lat
ter. from testimony which has come into
the possession of the public prosecutor, is
believed to be a clergyman of the Church
of England. who sent the girl to this coun-
try to cover up his own shame.
Some ten weeks ago a girl called Myrtle
Cook died at lying-in hospital on Lin
coin avenue, this city, kept by Herman B.
and Alice d. Lane. She had previously
given birth to a child and had been attended
by DR.. J. b. Seaman. When the facts be-
came public the story created a great SEN
sation locally. one of the peculiar facts in
connection with the mystery being that of
the undertaken, who kept the body for
over six weeks before burial for the pur-
pose of experimenting on it with an en-
balming fluid. After an investigation the
coroner's jury decided that the unknown
girl met her death from an unknown cause
and no specific charge was made against
DIR. Seaman or the Lanes.
To-day a woman whose name is not yet
divulged gave to the prosecuting attorney
what are believed to be the true facts
anu Drought evidences 10 prove her story.
The dead girls body was disinterred and the
witness positively identified it. Her story
Is that the girls real name was Emily
Hall; that she was a well-born and refined
English girl, and that her betrayer was
q man of such high standing that he found
1t necessary to send her over three thou
sand miles that he might be rid of her
shame without damage to his reputation.
n1e accordingly arranged to send her to
the Detroit establishment where sne died.
The witness who gives the above
story was formely an inmate OF
girl told her story and gave some of its
evidences. including damaging converSa-
lions between Mrs Lane and DIR. Seaman.
This afternoon the Lanes and DIR. Seaman
wera arrested, charged with numbering the
girl. Prosecuting Attorney Frazier, from
the evidence at hand. gave the following to
the Associated Press tonight: 1.-The dead
girl said that she was led astray by
Bell, a clergyman of the Church of Eng
land. She was sent by him by the steamer
Majestic. of the White Star line from
Queenstown, about Jan. Is. She shipped as
Miss Emily Hail. and came direct to. De-
troit, Bell having previously arranged with
Mrs. Lane to attend to the matter quiet
ly for $50. Two letters to the
girl are here, postmarked Old Drury'
and Birmingham registered letter ad-
dressed to the girl arrived three days after
her. death. The letters are signed John
villa. Station Road. Blackheath. via Dud-
ley and Primrose Villa, Blackheath,
Dudley, England" In another envelope
discovered was an address card marked
no. 5 Lofthousb Terrace. Cation Hill,
Leeds" The latter reached here a month
after the girls death. An attempt will be
made to extradite the Englishman, if found.
