The Bank Was Closed.

One night recently resident of Man. chester procured some crabs and tied them up in paper. He reached home at midnight, and in the quiet of the parlor undid the package. The fish had apparently gone to sleep for the night, and to give them some anima- tion he poured few drops of whisky on them from convenient bottle and then emptied the creatures into his trousers pockets. Soon all was quiet in his bedroom. and he successfully coun- forfeited his accustomed Scandinavian snore. Then the partner of his bosom quietly arose and proceeded to do some banking business with his trousers, which hung on their usual peg. It is said that tFreedoln shrieked when Kos eiusko fell" Well, if she ever shrieled as did this female when she got a couple of mad crabs on the ends of her taper fingers it would have sealed all! the whitewash off every ceiling in Po- land. When woman can yell so that it curdIed all the milk in the neighbor- hood you can rest assured that. as the saying is, there is something in the air. She continued to shriek until she ex- hausted ak the atmosphere there was in the house, by which time the crabs got frightened and let go of their own accord. Philadelphia Times.

FREE SILVER COINAGE.
If Permitted Would Make the Dollar
 Worth Only Fifty Cents.

If Permitted Would Make the Dollar
 Worth Only Fifty Cents.
 What is free silver coinage? The New York Commercial and Commercial Bulletin gives the amusing experience of a gentleman living near Boston who wrote to that paper for the desired in- formation. He had asked bank men and others of intelligence at home and elsewhere, he had corresponded with officials, politicians, fnanciers, cur rency reformers and numerous writers on monetary questions. He had been deluged with tracts, essays, news paper articles, speeches and learned expositions of currency problems. He encountered an appalling flood of words, but in all the turgid and con- fusing outpour he found no answer to his one plain question. The Journal of Commerce states that it gave its cor respondent the explanation of which he was in search, but oddly enough, in view of the proof it presents of the amazing ignorance of a fundamental principle of national finance, it omits to say in its own columns just what IS free coinage of silver
 Free coinage of silver, if permitted by law. would be simply this; Any person possessing silver of standard fneness-that is, 900 parts of pure metal to 100 parts of alloy-could take it to the United States mint and have it coined into dollars of 41211 grains, which would be coins weighing 15.9s times as much as the gold dollars-or, in effect, 16 times; hence the term 16 to as applied to the ratio. But the actual mercantile ratio is about 32 to L That is. gold bullion at exist ing market rates is worth about thirty two times as much as the same weight of silver bullion. Hence it appears that the 1911-grain silver dollar coined at a Is to l ratio would actually be worth about fifty cents. There you have the whole matter of free silver l6 to 1 coinage set forth in concise and accurate terms-and a most dishonest piece of business it would be.-Troy Times

A MEMORABLE SPEECH.
Secretary windom's Dying Words on Fres
 Silver.

Secretary Windom's Dying Words on Free
 Silver.
 The gradual subsistence of the free silver craze is due in large measure to the speeches of men like Secretary Car lisle, who know how to present sub- ject of that kind in a plain and practi- cal way. But one of the best of such speeches was delivered at the begin ming of the dangerous agitation of the question by statesman of clear vision and fine judgment It was at din- ner given by the New York board Of trade and transportation in January, 1891, that Secretary Windom pointed out the disasters that would certainly follow the continuance of the silver purchases. He spoke with much earn estness, comparing debased and huc- tuating currency to poison in the blood, permeating all the arteries of trade, paralyzing all kinds of business, and bringing misfortune to all classes of people. For the baneful effects of such currency he declared, ''there is no remedy, except by the costly and difficult return to sound money He went on to say bhat all the countries of Europe were anxious to exchange their silver for our gold, and that to give them such an opportunity would be to invite panic and bring on the worst commercial depression of mod ern times. It was the warning of 8 man who was thoroughly posted, and who realized just what was meant by the demand for more silver. And a moment after his speech was finished, he fell back in his chair and died.
 There were those at that time who called Windom an alarmist, and treated his prophetic and patriotic remarks with indifference; but the people now see that he was right. They have had chance since then to consider the matter in the light of object lessons and under circumstances specially conducive to sober and definite think ing. For time they were bewildered and deceived by the sephistry of the | free silver orators and newspapers, and it looked as if nothing could pre- vent them from trying an experiment l which would certainly have plunged | them into sea of troubles; but the things that Windom had told them were repeated to them by other com petent speakers, and at length they began to change their opinions and to range themselves on the side of the honest dollar They had never de sired or intended to give aid and com fort to any scheme of dishonesty; they had simply been led to think that in. hation would bring better times. As soon as they were enabled to get al the kernel of the question, and to see that they were being deluded, they hastened to abandon the free silver movement and to renew their faith in a currency system that makes every dollar as good as any other dollar in the world The craze still fingers in some degree, but it is constantly di. minishing. It will never again be SC strong as it has been, because the in telligenee of the masses has beer turned away from it and the peril Q. it is generally understood. St. Loul' Globe Democrat.

 domestic care. DOLLAR INSECT. He has had two diyorces in the family in very short time, and the health of his daughter, Gertrude, was preearious this summer, although she has by this time completely recovered. MT. Van derbilt, it appears, contemplates taking a long rest, and devoting himself en- tirely to recreation and the study of his favorite sciences. For Cornelius Van derbilt is quite botanist and the own CT of interesting collections of minerals and insects. He OWLS some very rare beetles and butterflies, including one for which the duke of Argyle offered three hundred dollars. Should Mr. Vanderbilt retire from society for awhile, social life in the metropolis would undoubtedly prove dull to many. But his friends have been urging him to take the step, for his health seems to demand it. He suffers from no specific complaint, for, as already noted, his constitution is a good one, but he is certainly run down. He lives a somewhat trying life and personal worries have added their cumulative effect

the youthful high livers of New York, including the sons of many mil lionaires, have been in the habit of going upon lerks down town. Those larks included a carnival of cards and champagne. The merry makers would then retreat to their clubs and defy arrest. MT. Roosevelt declared that if necessary the swellest clubs in town would be raided to pre- vent such episodes. This resulted in admonitions from many parents to their lively offspring Among the "bloods" thus talked to are said to have been Chauncey NJ. Depew, Jr., Will liam C. Whitney, Jr., Hamilton Fish, Jr., Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., and others. Finally Hamilton Fish, Jr., was arrested. Every member of the gilded youth is now exceedingly cir cumspect in his conduct. New York s old reputation as place in which to have a good time is in fair way to de- part.

Were he to succeed, such an implication as this would leave upon Mrs. Drayton might cause her to shrink from entering sister, hood Latterly, however, the impress sion has begun to prevail that the hus- band may not succeed in his endeavor. It is getting very evident that more tangible evidence will have to be se- cured before Mir. Drayton's lawyer can afford to go into court. On one of the dates alleged by the husband as that of an unstatutory proceeding, Mrs. Dray- ton has most positive alibi. More over. Mir. Drayton has been shifty in his legal proceeding, and constantly asks for delay. The wife, meanwhile, remains very much a1oof from the world. Only an occasional visit to her children varies the monotony of her essentially religious existence.

ence with the Salisbury administrE- tion than they had with that of Lord Resebery Sir Julian, it seems, has not at all pleased the European bankers who have large interests here. He has failed to secure for them certain concessions very essential to the suc- cess of their plans Besides, Sir Julian has scant sympathy with fnaneiers, anyhow, and they cordially reciprocate the lack of sentiment. The idea seems to be to replace Sir Julian with man better able to estimate the importance of British monetary interests in Amer iea. Sir Julian himself is loath to go. He has become deeply interested in the American negro question and has stud jed the problem carefully and, he looks upon it as very momentous. His at tention was originally drawn to it by the proficiency of Washington's colored youth on the banjo and one of his themes regarding the black race is that it has too much susceptibility to music not to be a valuable ingredient in the make up of mankind.

,,o,,,o,.f,,l ,,,,ro,,. THE LABOR SKELETON. ization holds it's annual meeting in the, metropolis next December, and the leaders of the labor movement will all be here. 1t is well known that a very active fight will be made on this point. The men opposed to Gompers resent eastern domination in the world of la- bor, but the former president has se- cured more than third of the dele gates elected so far. Mr. Mcbride, the present incumbent, is very powerful still, and his supporters mean to make a determined stand in his behalf. The unions have retained their membership during the past year, but their infu ence, it is charged, has been reduced to a skeleton of its former proportions "a skeleton, according to the opposi- tion, which all may mock as a vain menace. There is much truth in the contention, but plans are already ma tured for the complete rehabilitation of the movement, and the election of Gompers is the first step towards this end. Gompers is attracting immense attention in England just now, and daily addresses vast audiences in the manufacturing districts. He returns late in the autumn.

NEWToN'S ODD TELESCOPES
He Began by Making Metallic Mirrors to
 Avoid Observation.

Avoid Observation.
 Sir Isaac Newton made several ex- periments with view to the improve mept of refracting telescopes, but came to the conclusion that it was impossi- ble to get rid of the chromatic aberra- tion produced by lenses. He then turned his attention to the construc- ton of telescopes with metallic mir rors-first suggested by James Grego- rv. a Scotchman, in 1S63-and succeed ed ill making several which gave satis- factory results. In this form of tele- scope the image, being formed by re- fiection, is free from color Newton's s telescopes were, however, very small, and only few of any size were con- structed for about one hundred years, when Sir William Herschel took up the subject, and succeeded in con- structing several rehecting telescopes of considerable size, his largest being no less than four feet in diameter. This great instrument was finished in the year 17s9, and with it the illustri- ous astronomer discovered the two small satellites of Saturn, Mimas and Enceladus In after years a reftecting telescope of four feet in diameter and forty feet long was also constructed by Mir Lassall, who took it to Malta and with it discovered numerous nebule.
 These telescopes were, however, soon exceeded in size by Lord Rosse's fa- nous instrument of six feet in diane ter, completed in 1s45. This giant tel escope. which is still the largest in the world is fiftv-fxvo feet in leDpth The tube, seven feet in diane ter, is form ed of wood, strengthened with iron hoops. There are two mirrors, me weighing three and a half and the other four tons. The metal of which these mir TOTS is made is an alloy of copper and tin. in the proportion of one hundred and twenty parts copper to fifty-seven and half tin. As the telescope is fixed between two high walls running north and south, observations can only be made when objects are near the meridian. --Geatleman's Magazine.

 One of the most startling novelties re gently brought out is a cane with silver dagger as a handle. In anothe a hunting scene is represented by s stag that has been brought to kneef ing posture by two dogs clinging p either side
