CARRYING THG PURSE.
A Problem which Is Seriously Troubling

Problem which Is Seriously Troubling

How and where shall carry my
money!" is an important question 20
woman who has had her pockets
picked twice within u week. Once her
purse was in the chatelaine bag, sus-
pended from her belt, and which she
found yawning and empty upon reach
ing home. And the clasp to that bag
was one | often had to work over to
desperation myself" she remarked
plaintivcly. at bothered me dread
fully when I was in a hurry, but that
very fact gave me sense of security"
The second time her pockct--one of
those un-get-at-able pockets, too, in
the rear region, where it's unhappy
posscssor is forced to sit upon its con-
tents - was ignominiously turned
wrong side out. She tried carrying her
purse in her hand, and an elderly man.
with a benevolent face, stopped her
and said: Pardon me. madam, but
feel constrained to tell you that have
just seen lady's purse snatched out of
her hand and the thief escape with it."
The next time she sailed forth her
money was pinned securely inside her
dress waist When she had selected
certain purchases she told the clerk she
would return soon and pay for them,
and proceeded to the ladies' dressing
room, where there were eight other
women engaged in eXtricating money
from similar places of security and one
deftly removing a garter and turning
down her shapely hosiery. These
methods are pretty safe, but decidedly
inconvenient, especially when one has
purchases to make at different places.
Some women have adopted the separ-
ate pocket tied around the waist, un-
der the dress skirt, but this, of course,
necessitates raising the skirt to reach
the pocket, and not infrequently, by
some method best known to them
selves, thieves manage to rifle them or
remove them altogether. 1t really
seems as If till some as yet untried
method of carrying it is devised women
must depend more upon good fortune
than any better security for the con-
tinued possession of the little article
whose purloincr is said to steal trash,
but which is nevertheless trash of
kind which commends itself strongly
and almost universally to poor human
nature. e.-Philadclphin Press.

ence is so large that politicians can
scarcely fail TO give due heed to his
utterances.
The archbishop was asked what
might prevent the tide Of prosperity,
evidently now Just setting in, from
reaching It's greatest height, and in
his reply TO the question he fully de-
fined his position on the silver ques-
tion. The answer will be received
with interest and authority all over
the country. 1t is the voice OF the
first archbishop in the United States,
as every western man believes, and
certainly one of the broadest think
ers Of the nation. He said:
THE present silver agitation might
check the period Of prosperity which
It seems about setting in for us. !

tion, and feeling that I may be criu-
cised for what l say. But II is the
truth, and what does 1t matter whe-
ther / say It now or later?
without entering into the merits
Of the difficult and intricate questions
involved in a discussion Of the silver
phase or craze, would say that, 30
long as there is no international
agreement between the great govern
ments of the world-the commercial
nations-an attempt on the part Of
the United States to return to free
coinage of silver would be fatal to our
business prosperity.
THE United States Is largely bor-
rowing nation. A new country, un-
developed, is necessarily q borrower Of
the older nations, and that must pos
ttively be taken into consideration
when we lightly speak OF changing
the form Of our financial basis. II
is out of the question that we by our
selves can create silver basis TO be
accepted by the balance Of the world,
willy nilly. We are an integral part
of the general commercial world eS-
tending over every continent, and
what we propose or what is proposed
by those who favor silver is only feaS-
fble on the supposition that the whole
commercial world agrees with us to
accept a bimetallic standard.
What we borrow we must receive
from abroad, and the foreign capital
lsts will not invest In our millions Of
securities If they are to be paid back
for their advances in silver when they
can buy the bullion Of that metal at
90 cents. They simply Will not do II,
and 1t Is an absurd folly to imagine
that we can compel them to do so.

part of the general commercial world,
and whether we like II or not we must

world, far outnumbering us, and II we
do not we alone must hear the cOnae-
Quences. We can only hope to main
tain our prosperity by maintaining
with them cordial and honorable
entente. This to me is the simplest
phase OF the silver question. 1t is

Special Chicago Letter.
The hotbed of the free silver move

A woman well known among society
people recently astonished her friends
by appearing In public wearing three
solid gold rings on the third finger of
her right hand. The bands Of gold
fairly covered the joint between the
knuckles. So much curiosity was
aroused that one of her friends finally
asked her why she wore the rings In
the way she did. "Oh," she replied,

d'Alene land district, in which he af-
firms the decision of the commissioner

tary recites the following facts: In
this case, on May %, 1898. F. p. Smith

filed a protest against the railroads
selection. alleging that the sections are
not agricultural but mineral; that the
protestants and their grantors had set
tied and made valuable improvements
on part of the lands, large portion of
the town of Wallace. Idaho, standing
thereon; and that the sections are in
the midst of a well known mining coun-
try and embraces mineral locations
prior TO the survey, and that it is not
valuable for agricultural purposes"

decision was rendered against the pro-
testants. This decision was affirmed by

reason for disturbing the concurring de-
cisons of the lower officers and directs

Mining Share Hubble Has Been Thor
oughiy piiekei.
London, Oct. 1S.--Up to 8 o'clock this
afternoon the Barnato share settlement
passed without any special incident,
although trouble was aprehended. Bar
nato helped several brokers to tide
over a settlement by supporting the
market himself. There was scarcely
a bright spot in the list of stocks, but
the mining slump has been arrested for
a moment by attention being devoted
to Barnatos, in which the difference
to be faced is supposed to be enormous.
The feeling Is one of great anxiety,
which Is not relieved by the impression
prevalent in Paris that the mining
market has not seen the worst. In spite
Of this the changes today were not i'm
portant.
The attack on the Kaffirs was re-
sumed, although the carry over of Bar
nato shares was effected. Fears are en-
tertained that failures must occur. One
default is announced.
NEW YORK AFFECTED.
New York. Oct. 1S.-The foreign ex-

weakness in the sale by Kuehn, Loeb

securities to Europe. 1t is understood
that the securities are in connection
with the Anaconda mining syndicate.

Helena. Mont. Oct ia sneak thief
entered the sleeping car on the west

get away with a lot of personal effects
belonging to travellers who were asleep
at the time. The robbery took place
while No. was standing at Livingston
waiting to be made up for the remainder
of the western run. Some little time Is
spent at Livingston, which is reached
at very early hour. Just how the rob-
berry took place and who committed II is
not known. but 1t is surmised that as the
sleeper was sidetracked waiting to be
coupled onto a train being made up,
some tramp entered the car unbeknown to
the porter and grabbing up what was In
sight made off with 1t.
1t was not till the passengers awakened
as the train neared this city that the
theft was discovered. The first man to
discover his loss was a MIR. johnson,
travelling commercial agent for the Bur-
lington route in Montana and Idaho. He
missed pair of shoes and raised the
alarm. Immediately an inventory of
stock was taken by all the passengers in
the sleeper of their personal effects, when
1t was learned that beside Mr. johnson

well known Billings newspaper man, lost
a valise, and Mr.. Preston, a mining man
of Spokane enroute home from the east,
lost two valises and $3.50.
