Iced Beds and a Colder 1ior
From the London Standard


To the Editor of the Standard-sir: The
abnormal heat we are now experiencing
will doubtless be the cause of much dis
comfort and sIeeplessness to a great num-
Der of people. The temperature in many
bedrooms is often so high during the
night that restful sleep under such con-
ditions is hardly obtainable
In Florida and other parts of America
which l have visited, where the heat at
night is almost as unbearable as in the
day, it is not unusual to ice the beds
before retiring to rest This is done in
a very simple way. A vessel of metal
or pot, much in the form of the ancient
warming pan used by our grandfathers
is filled with broken ice, and after stand
ing until the ice has completely cooled
the vessel, it is placed between the
sheets and moved to and fro over the
surface Of the sheets and pillows until
they are quite cold. This GOODNESS of the
bed clothes is very soothing in the heated
and wearied body, and Invariably induces
immediate sleep. Ice can now be obtain
ed almost anywhere, and the wonder to
me is that its use for the purpose here
indicated has not been generally adopted
in this country. Not only are ice-cooled
beds found to be grateful and comfort
ing to those in a healthy condition but
in cases of insomnia and a variety of com
plants the use of ice for cooling the
beds of the patients is found to be of
inestimabe value and a great relief to
the afflicted. am sir, your obedient
servant Ellis Lever.

ment. The coat, vest and pants will

which the young ladies of the house
dispensed the service. After supper the
assembly was delightfully."- entertained
IN the parlors by several ladies and
gentlemen who contributed vocal and

A Serious Accident.

Mrs. Annie Hartzell, residing on
Frost's avenue, fell down stairway
of the residence Monday morning and
incurred injuries which may eventuate
seriously. Her collar bone and one
rib were b oxen, and large confusion
on her head, followed by delirium, are
the hurts which give her friends alarm.
Mrs. Hartzell is 81 years old, fact
which evokes much sympathy for her.
At last accounts she was much pr os-
trated.

The front is complete, but the shelter
hides ii from view. Inside only
enough can be seen to warrant the
prophecy that every artistic eye in
Frostburg will be pleased when the un
yelling takes place.
The whole force has wrought day
and night this week, and the manage
ment believes that with four or five
days more of reasonably good weather
all the brickwork will be completed.
Then the roof can go on--if about
three weeks of tolerable weather will
permit.
This accomplished, the interior work
can go right along almost without re-
gard to inclemency. Two thirds of
the stating is already done.
1t will be a huge as well as pretty
ornament to the town.

paper was offered and adopted:
WHEREAS, In the dispensations of wise

members =

his earneSness as Il Free Mason and his eff
ticiency as Worshipfll Master are due, per-
hapS more than to any other member, the
attainments in Masonic workmanship which
rank it among those of the highest standing
in the State; that it was his liherality, CON
Stancy and enthusiasm more than those of
any other that gave the Lodge tie impetus
and inspired the membership with that high
quality of work which now distinguishes its
proceedings and accomplishments.
3, That in brother Stern's death society
and good citizenship bis friends and especial
ly his family share with us the loss of one
who was true to all his ties and faithful to all
his trusts.

A "IsOltOcrat's" Opinion.

The Nugget had hoped to have the
privilege of assisting to defeat its es-
teemed friend Col james Hamilton
Lewis this fall, but it has met with some
disappointment in this matter. The Re-
publican party OF this state, after pro.
testing that it is sound money party,
has re-nominated Col. Doolittle for con-
gress. Doolittle has always voted for free
silver, and he refused at Tacoma the
other day to say that he would not do it
again. The way the matter stands now
there is little chance for the congressman
from western Washington being a sound
money man. Doo!ittle would probably
vote for free coinage bill, and thorc is
nothing about his candidacy to commend
him to the people. He is no account on
earth as a representative in congress.
Lewis would undoubtedly vote for free
coinage. But he would also be man of
prominence in the house. He would
make the state of Washington known
throughout The country. He is Popu-
list, but so is Doolittle. As between
Populists, there is always room for
choice. AS between Lewis and Doolittlc,
there is remarkable balance Of useful.
ness and ability in favor Of the former.-

WHAT Ii SAID.

The parting words OF Ii Hung Chang,
ut the dinner given in his honor by
ex.Secretary Foster, are words that
should thrill every resident OF this coast
indicating as they do the great
possibilities which lie at our doors in Il
commercial way, when the purpose ex
pressed by him shall have been put into
effect. They were as follows:
"These impressions l will carry home,
not only as augmentatons to my store OF
knowledge OF the fruits OF Western modern
civilization, but as the means Of enliyht-
ening the millions l represent, faclitat.
ing the introduction OF these very means
and ends of civilization into China, and
amalgamating the old civilization OF the
far East with the most modern OF the
extreme West"
Can anyone conceive OF the posssibili-
ties to this coast when China, rs she
surely will, shall have adopted Western
civilization? The commerce of the
Atlantic states with Europe will b, small
compared with what may be that OF the
Pacific states with Asia. None will deny
the benefits Of the former. Shall we
then jeopaidizc our future by refusing
justice to silver, the currency Of that
vast Empire? 'Twould be worse than
foolish to do so.

They tell us gold will 80 to premium

at premium, how would that hurt us?
How would it hurt the farmer OF this

and a half crate for his berries and had
to pay two hundred and fifty dollars on a
two hundred dollar gold debt? Would
not his berries 60 further toward paying
his debt than they do now? This talk OF
foreign listrust and panic and the loss OF
gold and gold premiums won't wash. 1t
fails to scare us. We do not propose to
give any good cause for foreign alarm and
we do not propose to put gold at u
premium, but whatever happens the
American people can take care OF them
selves. And long after this question is

GOLD MINERS REASONS.

G. d. Lane, one OF the wealthiest gold
miners in California, in response to q
request from the Cincinnati Post, gave
the following ten reasons why he favors
favor silver restoration BECAUSE
l. While my gold has double purchas-
ing power, outside Of mining l can not
invest it anywhere upon falling market.
?. Under present conditions produce
ton gives no reward to the producers.
3. With no profit to production, pro-
ducers can give no wages to labor, and
the country is filling up dangerously fast
with idle men.
4. Because with every man driven to
enforced idleness, protection to capital
grows less.
5. Enforced idlcness breeds hatred OF
the suffering masses against the few who
have means.
6. Because the wolkingmen Of America
are brought into unjust competition with
IuC VI SlINCI NOuutIIcS.
Z. Because the whole continent south
of us needs vitalizing with American
brains, muscle and such vast amounts OF
money that no mines can supply it
rapidly enough.
8. Because through the growing pow
erty of the humber producers, like the
farmers, the morals of the country aie
becoming tainted, and crimes are increas
ing alarmingly.
0. Because l believe the Almighty
made no mistake when he placed silver
in the hills.
10. Because l love my country and
believe l would do better myself if my
iellowmen could be made prosperous,
which they are not now. C. d. LANE.

port to our position that more primary
money is crying need OF the world.
Credit has been expanded to the utmost,
far beyond the safety limit: gold has
appreciated beyond all precedent; and to
try to meet the demands of business this
banking power has been evolved. 1t is
an exact index of the increased need Tor
primary or real money, and shows con.
clusively that the capacity Of the United
States today to absorb new supply OF
real money is almost incaiculable. These
considerations are much enforced by the
fact that our vast territory OF just touched
possibilities, with its constantly multi
plying population, affords Incompatible
scope for the operation and expansion OF
the energizing functions OF an adequate
supply of primary money.
This short examination Of the capacity
OF our country to create business, to pro-

shows that its power to absorb real
money, to give it use and value, is almost
limitless. have no doubt Of our ability
