st. Louis, June 15.--Gold has carried
the day. This assertion, made through
the United Press by Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, at an early hour this
afternoon, put new phase on the fin
ancial situation and overturned several
of the plans which had been formed by
those who expected different result.
states now forming the union had each
selected member of the committee on
resolutions favorable to the gold stand
ard. and that two or three western
states were likely to follow suit, thus
ensuring clear majority.
The Ohio man somewhat reluctantly
recognized that Mr.. Lodge was speak
ing by the card. George A. Robertson,
editor of the Cleveland (O.) Recorder,
who has made specially of fashoning
the views of the Ohio leaders in this
matter, saw ex-Secretary Foster and
asked him If he did not know that the
people all through northern Ohio were
for silver. He replied: "The people Of
Ohio are Republicans and they will
stand by sound Republican doctrines
Free silver is heresy and they dosnot
want It,"
General Grosvenor, who Is regarded
almost as the mouthpiece of Mckinley,
said:
1.-THE platform will be all right. There
will be no occasion for the east to COM
plain on that score. 1t will be discussed
a good deal more, but 1t is really settled
just the same that the declaration will
be for gold"

what singular that Illinois, which turn

Chicago, May 16.-(Special.)-It was re-
ported here today that a large sum of
money had been offered for the tobacco
habit cure No-To-Bac, famous ALI over
the country for its wonderful cures. This
offer, it is said, was made by parties who
desire to take 1t off the market and stop
the sale. because of its injury to the to-
bacco business. General Manager. Kramer
of No-To-Bac, when interviewed at his
office, No. As Randolph street, said:
mo, sir, No-To-Bac is not for sale to
the tobacco trust. Certainly No-To-Bac
affects the tobacco business. 1t will cure
over 100000 people in 1896. at an average
saving of $50 which each would otherwise
expend for tobacco, amounting in round
figures to $4,000 000 OF course tobacco
dealers loss is gained by the cured Does
No-To-Bac berefit physically? Yes, sir.
The majority of our patients report an
immediate gain of flesh, and their nico-
tine saturated systems are cleansed and
made vigorous. No-To-Bec is sold by
druggists throughout the United States
and Canada, under absolute guarantee
thatthree boxes will cure any case. Fail

course there are failures, but they are
few, and we can better afford to have

al principle that constitute grandeur of
character No other sort of man Is
worthy the name of artist, simply be-
cause 1t requires a high quality of mind
and noble purpose to paint pictures that
have any force or appeal to the, reason
or sympathy of refined men and women.
First of all, the artist must be refined
the temperament demands 1T, and the de-
mands of art must be answered In nature
by a combination of faculties and con-
ceptions which lend themselves most
readily to the moulding of men. The Boz
hemian, so-called, is often nothing more
nor less than an individual who prefers
to struggle manfully with some noble art
or science through comparative want,
while a less aspiring brother sustains an
appearance of elegance and eats by the
clock along less arduous and less ambi-
tious lines.
Only men of responsibilities, self
imposed, should be blamed for steering
clear of the demands of commerce and
trade for servitors; to them no field but

it must be for others. The truly lazy man
