Lecture Course Propitiously Opened.

The splendid audience that greeted
Jehu Dewitt Miller for the opening
Of the library lecture course on
Monday evening, must have been
gratifying to the enterprising ladies
who organized the course, and
justifIes confidence that it will
prove profitable as well as highly
creditable undertaking for them.
Mr.. Miller gave his lecture on
"The Stranger at Our Gates instead
Of the one announced, and at the
close his audience could not have
been persuaded that they had lost
anything by the change. "The
Stranger whom the lecturer pre-
sented was the foreign element as
a whole that for years has been
and still is pouring into the United
States. The dangers to the country
from this source were forcibly and
eloquently presented and illumined
by appeals to American patriotism
that met warm response, expressed in
frequent applause. The speaker
favors radical restrictions on imml-
grafton, and education of the masses
already with us in the country's Ian
guage and the country's laws and
customs.
In sentiment, diction and thought,
the lecture is grand one. If it
could be heard in every village Of
the country, the problem of what to
do with "the stranger at our gates
would be solved.
DIR. r. CosENs, Of Dodgeville, died
at his home last Friday night. He
had undergone a critical surgical
operation for an affiiction of the
bladder, from which he had suffered
for some time, and death followed.
He was esteemed as one Of the most
intelligent and exemplary citizens,
whose loss is serious one To the
community, and d crushing blow to
his family.
The funeral, which occurred Tues
day afternoon, was one Of the lar
gest ever known in the county. De-
ceased was member Of the Odd
Fellow and Masonic fraternities,

THE BOYCOTT ON BANKS.

essr~tayy Carliale Of the Opinion That Nc
ssrtous Results Will Fellow.
CHICAGO, July ga special to The
Daily News from Washington says:
The treasury, from Secretary Carlisle
down to his subordinates who have
charge Of banks and tho currency,
wore discussing the threats Of boycott
by, the Knights. of Labor against ma
tiOnal bank notes. 1t was about the
only subject talked of, but after a care
fnl consideration Of the question in all
its phases, Secretary Carlisle expressed
the opinion to one of his advisors that
no serious results would follow such a
boycott. His conclusion was based
upon the figures in regard to the circu-
lation of national bank notes.
The amount of these outstanding
June /, 1895, was only 5000, $40. 400,
and of this amount about SO, 600, 600 is
held by banks. National bank notes
have lever been made legal tender by
statute, so that it is true that it would
be impossible to force any person to
accept them in individual transactions.
They are, however, available for use by
the government III the payment OF all
its obligations, except for interest on
the public debt, and the redemption OF
national currency.

GUESSERS ARE At SEA,
They Do Not Know What to Expect from
the Supreme Court.

They Do Not Know What to Expect from
the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, May 13.-The supreme
court premises are as completely de.
serted by its members and the public
as though the income tax had never
come up to receive the attention of the
court and attract visitors. 1t had been
supposed that the court would go into
immediate consultation after the CON-
pletion Of the argument in the case,
but if there has been any consultation
up to date it has not been held in the
conference room at the Capitol.
Justice Jackson's position, while a
matter Of much speculative interest at
this time, is apparently known to nc
one but himself, unless he has found
occasion within the past day or two to
acquaint some Of his fellow members Of
the court with his views. There is
little doubt entertained but that the
courts decision will be announced
Monday week, and there can be no
question Of the general expectation in
Washington that it will be antagonistic
to the law as a whole, though for this
opinion nothing in the nature of a def.
mite fact as to the standing of members
OF the deciding tribunal is advanced.

r YEARS AFTEN.

We cltHn leo to the top Of Goat Point hill,
Sweet Kitty, my sweetheart, and I.
And watched the moon make stars, On tn
waves
And the dim white ships 60 by.
While a throne we mace On "a rough stone wall
And tie king and the queen were we,
And / sat with my arm about Kitty
AnG She with her arm about me.
The water was mad in the moonlight.
And the sand like gold where il shone,
And our hearts kept time to its music
AS we sat i'll thar srlendor alone.
And kitty's dear eyes twinkIed brightly.
And kittyS brown hair blew so free
While l sat With my arm about Kitty
And she with her arm abou, me.
Last night we drove in our carriage
To the wall at the top of the hill,
And though we're forty years older
We're children and sweethearts stiIl.
And we talked again Of that moonlight
That danced SO mad on the sea
When ! sat with my arm about Kitty
And she with her arm about ne.
The throne on the wall was still standing.
But we sat in the carriage last night,
For a wall is too high for old people
Whose foreheads have Innings Of white.
And Kitty's waist measure is forty,
While mine is full fifty and three,
So can't get my arm about Kitty
Nor can she get both hers about NE.

pected to attend the international railway

rotary Of state during the absence Of
Secretary Olney, was called into the

discussion. Whatever the subjects
were, it cannot be learned, and, appar.
only, it was resolved to keep the pro-
oeedings secret, for each of the persons
declined courteously but positively to
answer a single question touching their
deliberations.
Our Relations with Spain.
All that could be gathered was to the
effect that nothing had happened at
Gray Gables to give rise to any appre-
hension. Still there was an air Of
0ravity in the demeanor Of the cabinet
officers as they emerged from the COZ.
ference that would indicate that some
weighty and important questions had
beon. under discussion.
What these may have been can only
be surmised without any tangible evi.
dence Of probability. One theory

was that there was IN ugly Question as
