POOH-POOED BY DEPEw.
Chauncey Says Free Coinage Has
No Chance.

NO Cn4nce.
CHICAGO, March 31.-In an inter-
view with a reporter for the Record.
Chauncey M. Depew, talking on the
silver question, said:
The question of free coinage of sill
yer is not taken seriously in the East
ern states. 1t is not mentioned in poll
tics. 1t is not discussed in the papers.
L Will venture that SO per cent of the
people of the East are in favor of the
gold standard, without any apologies.
Where the alleged issue of silver COIN
age Is thought about at all, it is merely
that it is all right for one to take up a
hobby if he has time. I do not wish
to be bigoted in reviewing the situa-
ton, because l know that in the South
the sentiment Is very nearly unanimous
for adopting the silver basis. And the
West also clamors for the same end.
But it remains true that the East does
not attach importance to the fact, nor
do our people expect any serious step
toward the change"
May not the two sections unite on
silver and make it the one issue?'
The Democrats will have to make a
stagger at indorsing free silver coinage
to hold Democratic states, but it
will not be consequential. The Repub-
licans will steer clear of the question.
Either party, it is safe to say. will only
treat the matter SO far as politics may
demand, to hold their old strength and
keep the wind from the sails of third
party
/ "But some of the party leaders in the
East have declared for the restoration
of silver to it's old monetary function "
1t was urged.
z None of them mentioned the fact
while they were candidates. Nothing
but miracle can wrest triumph from
the Republican party"

EDITH MAY SHIELDS.
She Gets a Divorce to Marry n
Tennessee Lawyer.

ATLANTA, Ga. March 31.-There
is an interesting story connected with
the engagement of Edith May
Shields, daughter of the mayor of
Big Rapids, Mich, to L. S. Daniels,
of GAINESVILLE, Tenn, lawyer, news
of which has just reached here. A
few years ago Miss Shields eloped
with the son of H. T. Buckner, a
millionaire merchant of New York
and Tennessee, who was known on
the stage by the name of Harcourt.
The story of Buckner's conviction of
theft will be remembered, as well
as the fact that there was a strong
indication that he went to prison
rather than compromise the young
woman whose property he was
charged with stealing. When Har-
court Cor Buckner was sent to the
penltentlary, much interest was
manifested in his pretty wife, who
made every effort to secure his par
don. She was taken care of by promi-
nent people and remained for some
time, going out to the convict camp
to see her husband almost daily. 1t
now transpires that Mrs. Harcourt
has secured a divorce, and her en-
gagement to the Tennessee gentle
man is announced.

IOWA MINE SCHEDULE.
One Is Agreed by Miners and OPP
orators at Abba.

ALBA, To-, March Slater hard
work and many concessions, the min
ers and operators have agreed upon a
schedule for the coming year. 1t is the
same as the so-called scale of 1893, and
the 81 scale for day wages, with the
usual differentials, with the same
prices for powder and smithing, and
piece work shall be paid for at the rate
of IS cents for the summer months and
80 cents for the winter months. The
Appanoose district has the privilege of
putting in track scales and loading
the coal under the same conditions
as operators now having track scales
The Jack Oak and Smoky Hbllow
operators in this county held out
against the 70 and so cents scale, and
the miners owe their success largely to
these operators. The miners in this
county were being paid so cents and 81,
and it was necessary for operators in
other parts of the district to concede
the 80 and 80 cents demanded by the
miners or incur the losses entailed by
big strike.

An Elevated TaLe

The lake which has the distinction
of being the most elevated body of
water in the world is Green Lake,
Colorado. It's surface is ,1O,252 feet
above the level of the sea, and its
shores are perpetually covered with
snow. The water of the lake is as
clear as crystal, and large sections of
petrified trees are distinctly visible at
a depth of over 100 feet. In one por-
ton of the lake large area of the
bottom is still covered with a standing
petrified forest. The branches of these
rock trees are of dazzling whiteness,
giving them the appearance of having
been cut from marble. The maximum
depth of the lake is 223 feet.

EPIDEMIC DISEASES.
SMALLPOX, Cholera and Yellow
Fever the Past Year.

WASHINGTON, March S1.-The alb
stract OF sanitary reports as made by
the surgeon general shows the pres
ence OF smallpox in twenty-one states
OF the Union. OF the cities, Milwaukee,
mas suffered most from this disease
during the winter, recording 524 cases
and 164 deaths; Philadelphia had 244
cases and 26 deaths; Chicago, 24O cases
and A deaths; Hot Springs, Ark, lis
cases and II deaths; Washington, D. c.,
81 cases and deaths; Detroit, 81 cases
and rs deaths; st. Louis, los cases and
80 deaths; New York, 55 cases and 10
deaths. There appears to have been,
all told, 1913 deaths from smallpox in
the United States during the winter
Cholera is epidemic in many parts
of Russia, and SO different places are
enumerated in which cases appeared
from Jan. to March &c. In Podolfo
alone in that period there were 2,O31
cases and S67 deaths. Galicia, in Aus
trfa-Hungary, reported $50 deaths out
OF ST. cases for the same period; CAL
cutta, India, 365 deaths and Constan-
tinople, 81 deaths. There Is also more
or less cholera in Argentina, Brazil,
Belgium, Ceylon, France, Germany and
Holland. The United States sanitary
inspector at Rio Janeiro reports that
cholera in the interior districts of Bra
I'll Is rapidly declining owing to SAM
tary precautions, and of yellow fever
says:
Though the weather is very hot and
sultry,L hardly think there will be an
epidemic this year, as the number of
cases and deahts up to now is con-
Siderably less than usual. l do not
remember a February as free from dis
eases as this one"
Brazil reports total of 1877 deaths
from yellow fever up to Feb. %. So
of which occurred at Santos, from Feb.
to Feb. 3d. out of a total of rs cases
in that time. In Cuba there had been
q deaths and IA cases up to March IL.
There were also a few cases at Vera
Cruz, Mexico, Guayaquil, Ecuador, Pu-
erto Rico, Salvador and Curacao, West
Indies.
The secretary Of the Connecticut
state board of health contradicts the
report of the existence of varioloid at
Yale university. 1t appears from
a report of the Kentucky board
that an inspector who was sent
to Floyd county to investigate the mys-
ferrous disease which recently appear
ed there found it to be cerebro spinal
meningitis. There were 20 deaths from
the county out of a total of 25 cases.

RECEIVER FOR A TOWN.
"A suggestion in Regard to JefYer-
sOnviIIe, Ind

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, March 81.
The city douncil of JeffersonvilIe
finds itself in a predicament. Splitter
& Co., of Toledo, recently con-
tracted for $4,000 worth of city bonds
issued to redeem outstanding indebt-
edness of that amount, drawing in
terest at per cent, and redeemable in
fifteen years. The bonds were award
ed to Splitter & Co. two weeks ago,
they agreeing to take the issue at a.
premium of $62,SO5. 1t seems, however.
that the bid of the company was made
upon the condition that the bonds were
valid and legally issued Some days
ago Splitter & Co. requested City Clerk
Rambler for a statement as to the
origin of the Indebtedness for the fund.-
ing OF which the bonds were issued.
1t Is alleged that the information fur
nished revealed the fact that much of
the Indebtedness proposed to be fund
ed was found to be Illegal. This is
the second time these bonds have been
refused, New York firm declining
them on former occasion. The come
plicatfon has increased the sentiment
prevalent here in favor of putting thu
city into the hands of a receiver.

PRIEST IS A PUsHER.
Likely to Get "a Big Strike on Hi.
Hands.

TROY, N. Y, March 31.-rhe opeaa-
tives of the Harmony mills, at Cohoes.
are greatly exercised over the action of
the superintendent, John e. Priest, it
being claimed that since his advent
to Cohoes he has gradually increased
the speed of the machines so that 1t
is almost impossible to do the work
properly. Last week Supt Priest is
sued an order directing the benches
upon which the employees were accus-
toned to sit to be removed, and that
from that time all work in the mills
must be standing. AT this the opera
tives were wrathful, and indignation
meetings We're held. The feelings of
the mill hands have reached such a
point that everything portends a most
serious strike. The Harmony mills are
amone the largest in this country for
the manufacture of print goods. About
1900 operatives are given employment.

WARSHIP BISMARCK.
Emperor William Intends
Christen 1t Himself.

Christen 1t Himself.
Standard dispatch says that EN-
peror William intends to personally
christen the new German war ship
Bismarck. The dispatch adds that
the prince still dresses and undresses
without assistance. His weight is
about 200 pounds, but this f1uctuates
somewhat. He looks much better
and younger than he did after his
Illness at Kissengen in 1888. He
seems to be rather stimulated than
wearied by his birthday celebration.
Among the interesting presents that
he has received is EeE of Wash
ington's hair. Most of the presents
are valuable works of industrial art.
1t is surprising to find that, so far,
all the gifts are different. Among the
curios is a tablet in the shape of a
PrusSian iron cross, consisting of
eighty squares the size of a postage
stamp, on which Bismarck's name is
written 1920 times, the number of
days he has lived. The center piece
is a miniature of the old emperor in
the act of giving his hand to Bis
marck. This is surmounted by a
statue of Germania. This gift is of
an army major. Head Forester
Lang has sent from FREDERICKSBURG
siXty-six young oaks to be planted
in various places throughout the
country in honor of the day.
LONDON, April lin an editorial
on Prince Bismarck this morning,
the Times says: England has ever
been among the first and most ardent
OF his admirers. She sends him good
wishes, with heartiness and
warmth second only to those of his
own country.
