Few Observations on the Beauties OF the
yellow Metal.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER;
That aesthetics and not finance Is at
the bottom of the silver question is ev-
ident to any one disposed to a deep and
philosophical view of the situation.
The intrinsic value of gold rests on its
beauty and on its power of preserving
It's beauty. There are other metals
which have more value weighed in dol
lars and cents, which are rarer and re-
ol,ire more labor in their mining, their
preparing and in their introduction to
commerce. But there is no metal
which compares with gold in the beauty
of its color, the splendor of its CLEAN,
the delight of it's texture, the effulgence
Of its radiance the play of its refec-
lions and in the permanence of all
these attributes. 1t Is moreover so
malleable that it easily yields to the
touch of skill and readily accepts the
impress of art, the efflorescence of gen.

yellow is the color of the household, of
health, vigor, content; the color of the
early erocus and of the golden-rod, the
color of spring and summer prosperity
and rejoicing; the color of autumn full
ness of gathered corn and of ripened
fruit; the color Of the city of Christian
hope! No wonder therefore that kings

vice. Gold is desired of all men, not be-
cause 1t is rare, but because it is beau
tiful.
Silver is beautiful, too, but to a less
degrees. Silver is cold, repelling, I'M
reasonable, prudish. It's beauty seems
borrowed like the light of the moon. 1t
does not flow of it's own motion from
the innate soul of the metal Silver is
hard, cold, motionless, without pulsa-
ton, culver or yearning. Silver may
create a mild desire; gold excites pas
sion. Even the miser is under the sway
Of the beauty of gold. Art does not
represent him boarding silver; his skin

feather aigrette appearing little to
one side from against the crown, and
the crown low and hardly showing.
This shape has been worn in past sea-
sons but especial jauntiness is lent by
the fact that the bows are Of brightly
plaided ribbon and the paradise aig-
rette is quite new The latter may be
black or may brilliantly reproduce the
coloring of the bows. Such hat is
stylish with any shade or kind Of gown
except, Of course, very dressy recep-
ton affair-and let us hope Madam x.

ception.

bound with green silk ruching, bow
Of the latter is put at the side and two
plumes and an aigrette start from the
back This hat, too, accompanies a
tailor rig that will surely please the
daughter. 1t is of dark green broad
cloth, the skirt made plain with deep
godets at the back. It's jacket bodice
is rather ornate, being tight fitting at
back and front and coming to a point
at either side in front. The turn-down
collar and revers are edged with mar
row black braid, and the vest, which is
white cloth, is also bound on either side
with the braid. The sleeves are small
puffs, with cap at each shoulder. The
cut-out is filled in with pleated ruch-

DO YOU WANT A POORER DOLLAR?
In one of Mr.. Bryan's speeches last
Wednesday in answer to the question,
rs 1t true that as soon as we get free
silver the purchasing power of the
worllingman's wages will decrease|
his reply was. IF you take the pur-
chasing power of single dollar it will
be less"
If anything is needed to settle the
fate of the Boy Orator that reply ought
to, Is there any sensible man or wo-
man who wants the purchasing power
of a single dollar made less than it is?
If the purchasing power of a single dol
lar is made less wouldn't the purchas-
ing power Of hundred dollars be cor
respondingly decreased? And If Bryan
should be elected and the panic he has
predicted come would it be easy to get
the dollars whose purchasing power
would be lessened by his election?
The Boy Orator must have unbound
ed confidence in his hypnotic power if
he thinks he can hypnotic the people
into voting for poorer money and a
panic. His arguments" wouldn't fool
a schoolboy who was able to under
stand that after his election cent
wouldn't buy as many marbles as it
does now. They will not fool grown
men and women who do not think their
dollars buy too much and who do not
want to see the purchasing power of
them decreased, or to see them made
any harder to get

Once more we say to the sound
money Democrats of this region whose
honesty and patriotism have compelled
them to cut loose from their old party
associates that we think it the part of
wisdom for them to go the whole fig
ure." They are against Bryan and
Organism. They want to see them
overwhelmed and buried by the en-
phatic disapproval of the American
people. How better can they express
their sentiments or give them practical
effect than by voting for Mckinley and
sound money congressman? Some of
them, or all of them, may think that
the State is sure for Mckinley and
that the sound money congressman
will be elected without their votes
Possibly this is true. But nobody
knows that it is, and if any sound
money Democrat should find out Wed
nesday morning that he had not done
what he could for the cause which he
believes in he would be very sorry
The safe and sure way is for every
body who is against Bryan and Bryan
ism to vote for Mckinley and sound
money congressman That will be
shooting straight, and will be more eff
fective than shooting round a corner.

Some people are born to be lucky. DR..
Barber of Talbot County, Maryland,
who is running for congress, recently
began buying wheat from his constitu-
ents, paying little more than the
market price for il. He did so simply
to help hir, in the canvass, and with
no idea that he woult, make any money
out OF the transaction. Owing to the
rise in wheat, however, he has made a
considerable profit, while at the same
time he has made himself solid with
the voters.

vertical writing had opponents as
we'll as friends in a discussion at the
recent session in Utica of the Council of
School Superintendents of New York
State 1t was argued in its favor that
it could be learned more readily than
the slanting system, that it was con-
ducive to health in the fact that it per-
mitted more natural posture at the
desk, and that it contributed to speed
and legibility. Per contra, it was per-
tinently asked why, if the system has
so many advantages, it is not taught in
commercial colleges. An interesting
bit of information brought out in the
discussion is that it is incorrect to refer
to the vertical system as new and the
slanting system as old. The latter it
was said, Is only about $50 years old,
while the other dates back beyond the
early days of the quill,
A London newspaper remarks that
Puritanism dies slowly, and one of it's
last strongholds is Baptist chapel in

since, when the worthy pastor had oc-
casion to lament the degeneracy of the
times. In mournful tones he explained
that as he walked through the East end
he saw chapel after chapel bearing no
tifications to the effect that the rever-
end gentlemen would conduct pleas
ant Sunday afternoon This made his
heart sad. 1t showed a concession to
the spirit of worldliness; 1t proved, as a
late lamented brother had said, that
non-conformity was on the down grade.

had been minister of that chapel, and

ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John Frye, aged
% years, 9 months and 26 days.
Ella was shining mark of death,
but he found her watching. AL
though young she anticipated death,
prepared for it, and her transition
was a beautiful illustration of "For
me to live is Christ, and to die is
GAIN She talked cheerfully of
death, and fell into its embrace as
child falls asleep on it's mothers
bosom and some sweet day she will
awake in fairer, sweeter cline.
A noble woman has gone, but the
influence of a beautiful Christian
character will linger long in this
community. Her Christian home,
the Sunday School and social circles
will sll miss her. But, Ella, we are

The course but yesterday begun
Now finished in the tomb.
Another hand is reckoning us,

Our young and gentle friend, whose smile
Made bright the summer hours,
Whose footsteps listened for by ali,

And by the hearth fires light;
We pause beside her door to hear

In His own good time he'll call us,

ALL MILTo MA higail
Dodge, better known as "Gail Ham
ilton," the literary executor of James
G. Blaine, is dead. Since the death
of that eminent statesman Miss
Dodge has been engaged upon q
memoir of him. How far the work
had advanced few know, but it was
suddenly checked by the illness of
the author, more than year ago,
and now it is forever terminated by
her death. "Gail Hamilton" made
an enviable place for herself in the
literature of our country. For near
ly half a century articles from her
pen appeared IN magazines and pa
pers, and no one ever read one Of
them without being Intellectually in
spired, not TO say morally benefited.
Abigail Dodge was not only tai
ented and witty writer, but she was
among the pioneer women of litera-
ture in the United States. Her life
was an intensely busy one, and few
have added more original work to
the literature of the time than the
woman whose career has just ended
at the age of 66.
