A VOICE FROM Georgia.

Silver is an issue, a great issue. 1t
will be the leading issue in the cam
paign Of 1896. There is a we'll defined
sentiment among us that free coinage
OF both gold and silver at a parity of
l6 to 1, would immensely help husi
ness. Down South the crops will be
large, more especially corn. But
prices are not encouraging. There is
no money in farming today nothing
but a mere subsistence.
We have raised enough corr and
cotton and other crops to pay off the
national debt and make the South
wealthy, but we don't control the
price Of what We have to sell. That
is controlled up here. A small num-
Der Of men tell US what we shall get
for our crops, and we are not in a
position to oppose them successfully.
1t is believed that with the free
coinage of silver the farmer and the
w~orkingman would get a better le-
turn for the products of the soil and
the factory.-Ex-Senator Walsh in
New York Journal.

A TRAGIC ENDING.

Hogarths pencil never dwelt upon a
more squalid tragedy OF vice than the
ending of May McDermitt, the girl
who was found dead in bed in a den
on Morton street, San Francisco. The
landlord who was making his daily
rounds, to collect the wages Of shame,
found the pude body of the unfortu-
nate woman with the marks of a
strangers fingers upon her throat.
The body was taken to the morgue
and a few hours later a woman called
at the morgue and recognized her own
daughter, whom she had not seen in
several years.

Relief for Policy Holders.

Leon ?. Malotte has been appointed
local and State agent for the Policy
Holders Adjusting Co. 1t is a COM
pauy incorporated under the laws of
California to act as attorney and
agent of policy holders. The object
is to give those holding or wishing to
obtain insurance policies, Information
regarding companies and rates, and
in ease of loss by fire, to represent the
insured in the adjustment Of claims,
Heretofore it has been the custom in
case of fire for the insured to meekly
submit to the bulldozing and brow
beating of adiusters, who make their
fees out of the amount that is saved
out Of a policy to the company in case
Of loss. The policy holders seldom, if
ever, have a representative in the ad-
iustment Of a loss, except they resort
to a court of law and go to consider
able expense. This company repres-
ents the policy holder and their attor-
ney appears in court il necessary, and
being thoroughly posted on all the
law governing policies and the details
is better able to meet an adjuster
than the insured could possibly be.
The company also loans policy hold
ers money, pays their premiums and
in many ways aids and looks after
the interest Of the insured. The COM
pany guarantees to protect the holder
Of a policy and adjusts claims against
the insurance company, should loss
occur. The fees for membership are
low and the members take no risks.
Mr.. Malotte will take pleasure in ex-
planning the merits of the plan OF his
company and will issue certificates Of
membership.

a Serious Crisis i'm France,

France is facing one of the most
serious political crises seen in % years.
The senate adopted "a resolution depre-
eating the Irregularities disclosed in
the Southern railway scandals and de-
manding u searching inquiry. The
chamber of deputies voted confidence
in the government, yet it is apparent
that the ministry will resign. How
ever they can no more yield to the SEN
ate than they can disregard the cham
Der. The papers in commenting say;
The real origin of the crisis is the determine
ton OF the senate to overthrow the radical
ministry Not for many years has France
Deen on the brink OF so extensive an upheaval.
President taureS position is shaken and he is
severely blamed by all moderate politicians for
suffering tho experiment of n radical ministry
failing TO see the countless difficulties that were
bound TO follow.
IL the senate stands firm, there are only two
alternatives: tho res lgnation OF the ministers,
or the expulsion of the senate by n mob. The
latter would mean the SuperSeding OF the con-
stitution by revolutionary COW ention. The
chamber of deputies may. however, recoil from
u second vote. which might prove disastrous.
Tho situation is the most delicate we have
seen in 20 years.

Trouble for Japan In Korcn.

London: The Times has a dispatch
from Kobe, Japan, which says that
news from Seoul, Korea, proves that
200 Russian marines, with field gun,
were landed at Chcmulpo and marched
to Seoul. The king secretly left the
palace for the Russian legation,
whence he proclaimed his ministers
guilty of treason. Two of the minis
ters were arrested and executed and
the others fled. The Tai-Won-K un,
the father of the king, is a prisoner at
the legation. An anti-Japanesc min
istry was then formed. A bitter feel
ing has been aroused. a cabinet
council was held, attended by the mil
itary officials.
a dispatch from Toxic, Japan, says:
There is great activity among all the
naval forces. The Japanezc govern
ment is confident that Russia is en-
couraging the revolt in Korea with a
view of establishing "a Russian pro-
tectorate over the kingdom. The seal
of the Korean government is now in
the Russian legation at Seoul, where
the king remains guarded. 1t is be-
lieved that the king of Korea author
lied the outbreak in revenge for the
murder of the queen. The emperor of
Japan suspended the sitting of parlia-
ment in the midst of the opposition
attacks on Premier Itos ministry.
Washington: Secretary Herbert has
received II cablegram from Capt.
McNair, commanding the Asiatic sta
ton, confirming the newspapers of the

Four Miners Killed..

The most distressing mine accident
in Marquette county since the collapse
of No. l shaft at the Republic five
years ago, occurred at the same mine
as the night gang was exchanging
places with the night shift. Eight
miners and trammers of the night
shift climbed into the large car or
skip which is used in hosting ore in
No. 1 shaft, and gave the signal to the
engineer to hoist slowly.
BY some means unknown at the
present time, the car was derailed at a
point about 1,2O0 feet below the sur
face and toppled over in such a manner
as to imprison the men beneath it. AS
it was impossible to reach the signal
wire the engineer was ignorant of the
fearful dilemma of the men, and con-
tinued hosting, thus dragging the
men over the rough bottom of the
shaft and literally grinding them to
fragments. Four men were killed out
right and the other four probably IA
tally injured.

THE CATHODE RAYS.
Surprising Results of Experiments With
the New Method of Photog raphy.


the Now Method of Photography.
The new cathode or y rays of light
discovered by Prof Roentgen, of Ber-
lin, and produced by electricity and
the Croolle vacuum tube, by which
photographs may be made of objects
through wood, metals or other sub
stances, is creating great interest
among scientific men everywhere.
The electric wizard, Thomas A. Edison,
is making several experiments with
the \ rays, having already made sew
i eral improvements over the Roentgen
process and having invented new
vacuum tube which he calls the f1uor-
escent tube. AS soon as he produces
rays of the proper character he will
make photographs of the human brain
In action. lie proposes to try If the
rays can be sent over a telephone wire
placing the diaphragm of one receiver
| in front OF u tube and receiver at the
other end OF the wire in an adjoining
room, in front of a seusitized plate
| IL the experiment is successful, the
wizard says the possibilities of the APP
plcation of the rays will be immense,
and may include a practical device for
sending pictures by telegraph. Edison
has discovered that the X rays are not
| affected by any of the primary colors.
Messrs. Mcclellan anu Wright, dem
onstrators of the Toronto, Ont, uni
versity, have discovered a method of

result in making instantaneous photo
graphs with them

DIR. James Il. Bulrey and Electrician
| Charles Il. Scribner, have been con-
Quoting II series of experiments at the

cate small bullet in the hand of Cas-
| par Schmidt. The bullet had been in
| the hand for some weeks, but could
not be located. 1t caused Schmidt
much pain. The injured hand was ex-
| posed to the cathode rays for about an
hour. Then when the sensitized plate
was developed il disclosed an excellent
likeness of the anatomy of the hand.
between the metacarpal bones of the
third and fourth fingers could be seen
the likeness of what appeared to be a

using this as guide, removed the bull
let quickly and neatly and Schmidt

90 PROBABLY BURNED.
Awful Fire in a Factory Occupied by 30'
Girls and Women.

Girls and Women.
A small boy carelessly throwing q
match into pile of oily waste, mass
of flames, 800 girls and women fren-
zied with fright lighting for life as
the hot flames chased them with hun
cry tongues, was the beginning of a
lire that consumed thousands of dol
lars worth of property and caused the
destruction of many lives ut Troy, n. Y.
1t was just 30 minutes before clos
ing hours in Stettheimers & Co. shirt
factory and the 800 girls and women
were working rapidly To finish up. In
the cutting room on the fifth floor the
$50 girls were closing up their days
assignments and preparing to leave
when the whistle blew. Lille Kreiger,
who was working near machine,
called To a small boy to light the gas
over her work. The boy struck u
match and threw the burning stub to
the floor. 1t struck a pile of oily rags
and in an instant the girl was envel-
opcd in flames. With her clothes and
hair burning she rushed to the window
and in an instant the room became u
struggling, shrielSing mass of human
ity, iilling the windows, the fire cs-
capes and the only stairway. The
SDTtdo w IlC tIllCI ilOciS anu
soon every window was Tiled
with struggling women fighting
with desperation To reach safety.
Following them was a mass of smoke
with flashes of flame in lurid strcalis.
Then the mass of frenzied humanity,
finding the expresses too small for es-
cape, began climbing over the sides of
the escapes and jumping to the ground.
Within 20 minutes after the fire
started there were three dead women
laid upon the floor OF an adjoining
store, and at least a dozen burned
and MANNED girls taken to the
hospital or their homes. The firemen
and police worked like heroes and to
their energy was due great saving of
life. Yet ut least 20 were burned to
death and the list may be increased.
The flame ate down through three
floors SO quickly that the Western
Union Telegraph Co., Jessup 81 Coop
ner Crockery Co. and Van2andt Il
Jacobs collar mandatory had no
time to save anything. The total loss
by the fire is from S25O,O0 to $500, 600,
with about 100000 insurance. At
least 800 people are thrown out of en-
ploynent
