BYNUM is PLEASED,
The Chairman Says silver VIII Never
Again be n Strong Issue.

indianapolis. Nov. 6.-Hon. william d.
Bynum. chairman of the national demo-
cratic committee. has returned from Chi
cago and opened up his law office. To-
day Mr.. Bynum said to the associated
press that II was with great satisfaction
that he received the result Of the election
and predicts that the silver question viii
never again become a formidable issue.
Mr.. Bynum said: 'The advocates of
free coinage will never again be able TO
put up such fight. The issue will never
again be as strong as In the campaign
just closed. The silverites had been dill
gently at work for about three years. and
the conditions were exceedingly favorable
to the dissemination of their sophistries. +"
'The friends Of sound money had been
avoiding direct contest and were at q
disadvantage when the question was
squarely presented. The triumph of
sound principles under the circumstances
was a great victory" AS to the future OF
the gold standard democracy. Mr.. Bynum
said: "A reunion Of all forces Of the DEM
ocratic party can only take place upon
the lines of the Indianapolis platform.
Those that will not unite with our organ
ization on the principles therein promul-
gated. will become identified with the pop
ulist party and 90 with that organiza-
tion."

City of Mexico, Nov. G.-No previous
presidential election In the United

"For Mexico, the declaration OF the
American people in favor Of the gold
standard means continued prosperity
here. 1t signifies large dividends for
our mills and banks. thus carrying into
effect many large and important un-
dertakings for which capital would

result is for the general good Of Mex

PHOTOGRAPH AS PASSPORT.
A New Plan to Facilitate the Identifca-
tiOn of Travellers.

Perhaps the bulky old passport has had
its best day. In its stead the Identification
book is now growing in public favor.
While passports were intended for iden-
| LITIGATION they did not always identify
! The mere verbal description filled In by
/ the owner primarily and then copied by
some clerk in the state department was
| sufficiently exact for ordinary occasions,
but not for extraordinary ones. And the
wise tourist prepares for both.
Travellers who are not equipped with
any language but their own under the
passport system can be exposed to more
than petty annOyances, particularly In
the more unfrequented paths Of Spain and
! Russia They may have trouble In secur-
ing mail addressed to them or In cashing
money and express orders. And instances
are by no means infrequent where travel
ers have been absolutely stranded for lack
Of funds which were even then waiting
I for them at some provincial pOstofiice, and
they were sacrificed to the elaborate scru-
pies of some honest but obstinate village
| postmaster.
But armed with an Identification book,
one can refuse to be bulldozed by an Off
cial for lack Of evidence Of ones identity
| The matter of its official adoption by
the United States will come up for consid-
Grafton this winter in Washington. Most
Of the European countries have success
| fully tried the system. France and Italy
were the pioneers in the movement and
have shown no desire to return to earlier
methods
The book of Identification is a small pa
per bound volume Of a size convenient for
the pocket. 1t may be purchased at any
postoffice at an outlay equivalent to 10
cents On the inner side Of the cover is
placed a photograph Of the holder, tied
firmly In place and fastened by a sealed
ribbon. To this is attached the signature
Of tho holder. On the page opposite the
cover Is a declaration signed by the post
Office official who originally sold the book,
the making of which. of course, he must
witness and the correctness of the like
ness rs set forth by the photograph.
The pages following contain the usual
verbal description familiar To the holder Of
passports, consisting Of details as to eyes,
nose, mouth, forehead chin, hair, cOloring,
height, weight and particular marks or
scars.
1t contains declaration to the effect
that ION presentation Of this book and the
signing of a receipt any postofilce Is re-
quired to deliver to the holder all mail
matter addressed to him." 1t is impera-
tive that the signature on the receipt
should correspond with that of the hook,
and the better the photograph the easier

Count Zeppelin, cavalry officer who
became famous at the beginning of the
war of 1870, has for five years been occu-
pied with the subject of aerial navigation
He has invented means Of treating the
pores of the silk stuff used in the making
of the balloon so that 1t will hold the gas
for months His car is very firmly attach
ed to the balloon, with the propeller in
front and steering gear behind. The mo
tor is Of aluminium with a to 10 per cent
copper alloy The balloon can rise to
height of about ], 200 yards and carry a
weight of nearly two tons and If neces-
sary remain seven and half days In the
air. The expansion of the gas by warmth
is met by conducting what may be called
the overflow into a reserved space, so that
the balloon cannot burst and yet loses no
gas.
Ascent and descent are effected without
throwing out ballast or loss Of gas The
advantages Of Count Zeppelin's balloon
have been fully acknowledged by the Prus-
sian military authorities. They reckon
the maximum speed attainable to be five
meters per second-say IL miles an hour
but the inventor claims at least IL meters
per second The count is convinced that
his balloon, If practically carried out, viii
be able to travel for weeks at speed OF
about go miles per day bearing a fairly
heavy weight and would be Of the great
est importance In times both Of peace and

EFEEoTIvE MATCHMAKING.


Simple and Direct Method Employed by
the Nez Perces Indians.
An old custom was revived by the
Nez Perces Indians and their visitors
during the celebration on the last
Fourth of July, says the Morning Orc
gonian. The natives of the local tribe
are very wealthy people, and there are
designing mothers among the aborig-
ines as well as in the different classes
of civilized society. The young bucks
of the Nez Perces tribe ere regarded
somewhat like the scions of royalty in
matrimonial circles. The maidens from
all visiting tribes were brought to lap
wal to find husbands. The customs of
the tribes, which were revived for the
occasion, were more effective than the
Boston mans way.
The manageable maidens were by
common accord quartered in q selected
spot In the valley of the Lnpwai. AT an
appointed hour the young men who
wanted wives to share their annuities,
their homesteads Snd the affections OF
their hearts appeared in procession on
the hallowed camp ground. The hour
was midnight, and the scene was in n
grove of trees made fragrant by the
wild flowers, and every heart danced to
the music of the ripping waters. The
young men marched forth, and none
but candidates for matrimony joined
the march. They were dressed in their
brightest colors, and each carried a
white willow cane. As they approached
the tents they chanted an Indian chorus
that was as doleful as the song of the
owl. and kept time by beating upon the
tents with their canes. The drumming
was deafening to the distant spectator
and must have been distracting to the
waiting maidens in the tents. At last
the singing and the drumming had the
desired effect.
The maidens came forth, after a delay
just long enough to satisfy that uni-
versal passion of the mind of a wom-
an to drive a lover mad with doubt.
There We're more men than maidens.
The former kept up the march and the
music without. The maidens counter
marched on the line of the same circle,
each selecting a husband from the line.
The chosen ones FASTENED to follow
their brides away into the darkness.
The unfortunate sEtors were left TO de-
spair.
