DUMAS FUTURE PLAY.

Alexander Dumas. at 70. tells. the stcry
Of la Dame Aux Camelias s'-tells how
he. a youth of 20, had romantic attach
ment for Name Plessi, a woman who had
been famous in her day In Paris, but
waib was dying when he knew her
1t was only the love OF poetic and
morbid boy. He hardly knew the woman
by sight. She was nothing to him but
a romantic ideal, and yet he followed her
to THE grave and wept tears. Had he
known her probably all the glamour
would have evaporated and his tstory
never have been wrytten. 1t was not
''the truth, the bitter truth" as Stendhal
called vt, but simply boys poetry.
AS years went by and the young man
grew older, grew to know the gay adj
venturesses who flashed through the
French capital, ne gave Their world a
name that will last as long as the French
language and wrote the clever sat-rical
"Demi- Monde"

vo.eo 10 virtuous wvmel.

SAT home" he answered.
Dumas has a beautiful home In Paris.
HIS wife and daughters are artistic,
clever and attractive women, and his
granddaughter is his fhvorite companion.
Who can imagine that Dumas, the
younger" Is 70? He is tall, powerful
man, with a dark face under his white
hair He shll whites three hours out OF
every day, and most Of his time IS de-
voted Ito Pamphlets on women with such
titles as THE Question OF Divorce" "The
Women Who KILL" "The Women Who

Washington, July &C. Kennedy, who
has become the principal counsel I'm the
case of ex-Consul Waller, now serving a
sentence in French prison for VIOLA
tiion of the neutrality laws between this
country and France, called nt the state
department. today for the purpose Of pre-
seuting certain phase Of the case.
Kennedy is disposed to lay much stress
on the fact that at the time Of Waller's
arrest there was no actual state of war
between France and Madagascar. He
contends that Waller for this reason
could not have been guilty OF the charge
on which he was tried and convicted.

HoKE SMITH ON MONEY.
Addresses An Enthusiastic Audience in
GAINESVILLE. Ga.

GAINESVILLE, Ca, July 23.-Secretary
Hol1e Smith delivered here today the first
of a series of three addresses in Georgia
on the financial ISSUE. A tremendous
crowd assembled ID hear the speech, and
he was cheered to THE echo. He was in
troduced by Judge Perry, who paid a
glowing tribute to President Cleveland.
Mr.. Smith spoke in part as follows:
"At Chicago in 1892 the Democratic PAR
ty, by its representatives for the entire
Union, voted down overwhelmingly the
proposition of the delegate from Colora-
do, to insert in the platform the word
free" which would have made the plat
foim declare for THE free coinage of
silver The average decrease in the price
of commodities since 1873 has been about
80 per cent, and the helviest decline has
be N in the line of these things which the
masses Of the people buy. Ala those re-
ductdons in price are partly attributable
to lessened cost of production and part
ly Ito THE recent panic. While commod-
Dties have fallen 20 per cent, silver has
fallen 50 per cent. The bullion in the
silver dollar is only worth So cents; 2.S
grains standard gold hre worth 100 cents.
To lift the value of A2' grains of the
silver dollar in the United States from
50 to 100 cents 1t would be necessary to
lift the value of adj the silver in the world
to the same extent, less the cost of trans
porting 1t to the United States. In addi-
ulou TO this, If the silver mines can afford
to continue increasing their production
als Ghey have from $S1, 100000 in 1873 to
$2l4, ,4S1, 900 i'm 1891, on a market which has
fallen 50 per cent, what would they pro-
duce on a market which has risen one
hundred per cent? The immediate effect
of the election of a president committed
to such policy would be the separation
Of the gold and silver dollar, the gold
dollar going to a premium of about two
for one, and we would lose at once $685.
100000 Of gold now in circulation and in

Olympia, July 23-Tne contest brought
by the King county Popuilst5 to oust
Sheriff Van Devanter from office. on
the ground of fraud in counting ballots,
has been decided by the supreme court
in Van Devanter's favor. The Populists
charged irregularities in the count. The
supreme court found many Irregularities,
but so evenly divided that attention is
given chiefly TO the Franklin precinct.
The court holds thut when voters hon
estly cast ballots in accordance with the
directors of law, as applied to them,
then the votes cannot be thrown out
because Of omissions or irregularities of
the election of officers, in the absence of
fraud, which was not shown in this case.

THE RIvER.-For the first time in
two years and for the second time in
many, navigation on the river is COM
pletely suspended and the Potomac to-
day is covered with ice from shore to
shore, varying in thickness from four to
eight inches and extends far below
Maryland Point.
The Norfolk steamer which passed
up the river about u o'clock yesterday
did not start on her return trip as was
intended. The other Norfolk steamer
which left here Thursday night and
which later anchored near Maryland
Point, reached Norfolk yesterday even
ing but did not leave that port last
night on her return trip.
One of the Norfolk steamers was to
have come here to-day for the purpose
of taking on freight and of attempting
t make pathway through the ice.
1t was found, however, that the steamt r
was aground and could not be cotton
out of her dock in Washington.
The tug Beaverton has been making
occasional trips between this city and
Shepherds to-day, trying to keep a
track open so as to be able to run the
railroad transfer barge when freight
trains, which have been practically an
nulled in this section, commence run
ing again.
The tides, owing to the northwest
gales which have prevailed for the past
few days are very low and most of the
steamers and other vessels in the docks
here are resting on the bottom.

THE MINsrRELs.-The Hi Henry
Minstrels arrived to-day and gave a
parade about 1890. People crowded
to see them and hear the music which
was fine. They appear at the Opera
House tonight. The Danville Register
says of the performance "Many people
in the large audience last night declar-
ed that Hi Henry's company is the
best minstrel aggregation on the road.
This company came highly recommend
ed and the people expected good per
formance, but they were hardly look
ing for the almost faultless exhibition
they were treated to. The band is
probably the best that was ever seen in
Danville. The singers we're very good,
and the many other features, most Of
them entirely new, go to make up one
of the best aud most refined minstrel
performances this community has ever
SEEM"
The Staunton Post says: A better min
istrel performance has never been seen
here than that given at the Opera
House this week by Hi Henry and his
company. The audience testified its ap-
probation by frequent laughter and ap-
plause, encoring nearly all the special
ties. The stage mounting, costuming
and accessories were rich and elegant
and the programme throughout was
smooth and uniformly rendered.
