is simply appalling. The order now
pays out for relief about three and
One-half million dollars annually. If
the present condition scontinue 1T is
only a matter of time when there will
have to be made sliding scale-this
sliding scale will be to decrease the
number Of dollars paid for the relief
of members and families of deceased
mem berS or increase the dues of mem
bcrs-that the present ratio of dues is
as high now as the mem berS can pay
goes without saying. Then the only
thing left will be to decrease the
benefits. 1t is argued that we should
have only the kind Of money that will
pass in all parts Of the world. Moth
ing can be more absurd. Our gold
eagles as now coined are not accepted
at their face in all countries of the
world and never have been-never will
be. 1t is more difficult to pass gold
money in the United States than it is
piece OF American silver. Another
objection urged against the use OF sill
yer is it's weight. While silver dol
lar is much heavier than gold dollar
lar it is also true that laboring man
can carry home all the silver dollars
he can ever hope to obtain for one
weeks wages, and if any of our labor
ing people should desire to make a
European voyage they will not object
to paying the necessary exchange for
money that will be accepted or bear
the necessary discount at the other
place. What the American people
want is enough money to keep the la
boring class employed and transact
the business of the country. and any
money coined by the United States is
honest money, and it is certainly un-
patriotic to stamp any Of it as any
thing else. When the greenbacks
were first issued by the government
there were those who said it was both
dishonest and unconstitutional, AMI
yet patriotic people accepted the ~
| as money. After a third OF a century
the greenback is still accepted and
no one wants them more than the
banking fraternity, who were the ori.
ginal objectors to their issuance. Ii
a bill passes the next Congress restor-
ing silver to it's place in our currency
j. e., free coinage of gold and silver a
"a ratio of 16 to l, a patriotic people
will accept both for all demands and
our idle members can then find en-
ployment and be able to pay their
dues. Every Odd Fellow in America
should work and vote for free coinage
| of both gold and silver.

we can't borrow ourselves rich any
more as we did when we had a million
square miles Of fertile land yet to be
taken up, and calling for &C, 1000 miles
Of railroad to be built. The real rea-
son for this heavy export OF gold, and
a reason which threatens to be still
more potent in the future, barring
foreign war or crop failures, is that
our debt to foreigners is so large that
our suplus after paying fer such i'm
ports as we have must have does not
pay interest at present prices, and
Consequently gold must pay the bal
ance.

into Mr.. Cummings care she seemed TO
improve, but her sister, Miss Hattie
Manning, who was with her all of the

for her. This, for while, eased her
mind. IL was the intention to have her
taken before the court yesterday morning
but she was so much improved that the
officials were OF the opinion that she
might possibly recover. During the day
she began TO act strangely and was in a
worse condition than ever. So today IL
was decided to have her committed to
the asylum. At 1880 O'Clock this morn
ing she and her sister arose and made ar
rangements for the woman's appearance
in court. While the sister and one of the
attendants were arranging her clothing
Mrs. Pierce made the remark that she

who was at the building to assist in get

that for?' With the assistance of her sisters
she was able TO walk fr IN where she fell
around to the door OF the building, but

Galleries Filled in Anticipation of
Galleries Filled in Anticipation of
Radical Measures.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.--The Senate
galleries were well filled at the opening
Of the session today in anticipation of the
elimination of the Cuban debate. the
final vote on which was set for o'clock.
Shortly after the session opened Repre-
sentative Hit, Chairman OF the House
committee on foreign affairs, joined Mr..
Sherman, chairman OF the Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations, in whis-
pered conversation at Mr.. Sherman's
desk. The Ohio Senator announced that
the Cuban question would be taken up
without waiting for the usual expiration
OF the morning hour at o'c ock.
Mr.. Allen Pop, Neb. asked TO with
draw the resolutions for the appointments
OF Mr.. Lloyd as a Senate Official. This
brought on another discussion as TO add
ing PorHist official to the rolls. MIR.
Allen finally withdrew the resolution.
Mr.. Sherman asked that the Cuban reso-
lutions he taken up and this prevailed
without objection.
Chairman Hit remained alongside Mr..
Sherman as the debate proceeded. Baron
Won Kettler of the German embassy oc-
cupied a seat in the diplomatic gallery.
BY this time the public galleries were
filled to their full limit and there was
promise of a crush.
MT. LINDSAY tDem., n.y., SAID the con-
fict in Cuba was war and was being
waged with such desperation that only
one OF two results could come, either the
complete independence of Cuba on one
hand or the utter annihilation of the Gu
ban people on the other. The Senator
said he approached the subject from the
standpoint OF humanity rather than of law.
Declarations of sympathy would avail
nothing to the Cubans Declarations that
they had progressed to the stage of be.
liigerency would avail nothing. "If the
United States intends taking any step
that will avail the struggling Cubans that
step should be in the direction of the ul-.
innate independence OF Cuba" declared
Mr.. Lindsay in h's stentoran tones. sin
the past ne continued, "the United
States had not hesitated TO take the po-
sition recognizing independence IN.
der circumstances similar to those now
existing in Cuba. " Quoting from interna-
tionai authorities the Sc nator maintained
that a condition now existed in Cuba
justifying the Omitted States in consider
ing q proposition for active Intervention
to restore public order and in behalf OF
humanity.

Why Mrs. Isabella Pierce
Wants to Die.
Sensational Jumping From a
Fourth Story Window.
Sisters Were Dressing Her to Go to
Court to Be Declared Insane.

Mrs Isabella Manning Pierce, ~ years
|old, and demented, jumped from win
dow OF the third floor of the poor depart
ment building on Fountain street, at S:45
o'clock this morning, and fell a distance
OF 80 feet or more, struck on a stone wall
|hnd then fell upon the concrete walk.
She was probably fatally injured.
The story of this young woman is sor-
|rowful one.
Three years ago she married Henry
Pierce, who proved to be worthless sort
|of fellow. A short time ago he was sent
Ito the County Jail for 60 Gays for assault
ling her, and he is now under the juris-
Id diction of the Sixth District Court to
|care for her, but IT is understood that he
has deserted her and is now in the United
Estates navy. Mrs. Pierce has always bore
the reputation of being iovable, hard
working and an honest woman, and has
worked in a cotton mill and supported
herself, her worthless husband and child,
the most Of the time. Their child died
in snort time ago, and was buried by the
city. These misfortunes have teen the
cause of upsetting her mind.
Some time ago the late Mrs. Hopkins
of the Rescue Mission on Founatin street
took deep interest in Mrs. Pierce's
case, and took her to the home and cared
for her. When Mrs. Hopkins died Mrs.
Pierce lost valuable and good friend.
Overseer of the Poor Cummings took up
her ase about ten days ago. He called
upon her at the mission and told her that
he would care for her ii she would come
TO his department.. She said that she
would as soon as she had seen priest.
She left the mission, but did not inform
the matron ofwhat her intentions were.

Trouble With Peruvian Of
fiCialS Reported.
It May Develop Into an Inter-
national Question.
The Marriage Law Is Now Brought
to the Front.

Copyrighted. 1898. by The Associated Press.)
LIMA, Peru, Feb. N2S, fvia Galveston,
Tex. THE Government has ordered the
preparation of resolution, which will be
submitted TO Congress, providing for the
registration of Protestant marriages.
This action upon the part of the Peru
Wan government is the result of lengthy
diplomatic action in which the United
states government and the government of
Great britain have taken part. The Kew.
Mr.. Wood, head OF the missions in Peru,
some OF whose missionaries belong 10
the East London Institute and Others
to the American Bible Society, has
had trouble with the Peruvian officials
for long time past. The expulsion OF
some of his missionaries from Cuzco
brought about an exchange of notes on
the subject between Great Britain and
Peru and the registration of the mar
riage of Miss Wood with Mr.. HazeltiDe
was the basis of diplomatic action upon
the part ot the United States. The mis-
sionary question involved, and the mar
riage question thus brought to the front,
are regarded as being OF great Importance
by all the Protestants in Peru, and 1t has
been indicated for some time past that
they might possibly lead to change in
the Peruvian constitution. But the gov
ernmeht appears wiring to ,neee ths
issue in a friendly spirit, as indicated by
its preparation OF the resolution pre-
viously referred to.
Mr.. Wood, at one time, went among
the savages in Perane, where his life was
in danger and for long time consider
aole anxiety was felt for his return,
especially as FL 0brero, published in
Callaoa, contained threats against the
miss onary. Steps 10 ascertain his where
abouts and provide for his safety were
eventually taken at the instance of the
United States and Great Britain.

vim OF Scituate. That official last evening
emf hatically derliped to make any COM

that rested entirely with herself to ar

All efforts to have the sheriff change his
mind and plan of action were futile. He
returned TO his home in Scituate last
evening. What his later movements will
be are known only TO himself.
