den TO agitators. 1t was here that the
corn law agitation had its inception
here Sir Charles Dixie made his first
great speech against the enormous ex-
penses of the crown; here resolutions
denouncing attacks on newspapers
were adopted; here the populace,
frenzied with dob" loves proposal,
while he was chancellor Of the TX.
chequer, to impose a tax on matches,
dared the police and tore down the
gates and ratings.
Under the new code adopted by the
royal commissioners of the park, Hyde
Park may be used as a meeting place
only by special permission; and where
special permission Is given, it is stipu-
lated that no agitation shall be INDUCED
in; no obscene, indecent or blasphem-
ous words, expressions or gestures
shall be used, and no collections shall
be taken. The enforcement of these ex-

Many and various are the discussions Of
the new woman" but most of the women
we've seen have no aspirations toward the
emancipation of their sex from any yoke
except the b~urdensome yoke of i'll health.
They all seem to think-and think rightly
that their proper field Is their home, and to
work faithfully in this field she must be
strong and hearty. Care is peculiarly q
woman's heritage. But it was not the "ncw
woman" or any other kind of woman that
we started out to talk about. II is q "man
In the case" this time, and a man, too, that
thinks he is the newest kind of a "new
man."
From what he tells us, he has good cause
to think SO. There is no comparison between
his present state Of feeling md that of two
years ago. But let the following speak fer
itself. We published q few weeks ago o
statement of the miraculous cure Of Mr.. ].
M. Foster, Of Carter's Creek, now one of the
Hcrald's men, from locomotor ataxia "a dis
ease said to be incurablc). by the use of Or.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
The account was read by numbers of peo-
pie who were eye-witncsses of his bodily suffer-
ing and who know what Mr.. Foster stated to
be true beyond q peradventure of n doubt;
1t was read by others, also, who believe it
just the same as if they, too, had seen all, be-
cause Mr.. Foster is well known over the
country to be O man of unimpeachable vera
city.
So strong Is his belief in the DIR. Will
liams' Pills, he has influenced q number Of
other people to use them, and oil have be-
came as new persons.
One Of the number is q young man of
Southport, Maury County, Tennessee, Mr..
N. F. Murphy. He is only twenty-one years
old, and being of rather a delicate constitu-
ton, has been afflicted Tie greater part Of
his life.
Young Murphy says, he verify believes
have been called upon to endure the bodily
suffering. which he has undergone.
In an interview with the Herald, he told
us the following, which we give il his own
words:
Give years ago I was attacked with o
severe spell of Ia grippe, which affected me
very much. However, with the summer
before me, I gradually grew better until /
considered myself nearly we'll, when in
September following l was Frustrated by an
attack Of biliousness.
II took the medicine administered by our
family physician and was soon on foot again,
though with q large amount of malaria in
my system. Being in q low state of health,
l was troubled all winter with dreadful
colds and coughs.
"The following spring I was again at
tackled with another severe case of bilious
ness, and only rallied in part from this spell
when, ct the suggestion of some of my friends,
l resorted to various patent medicines for
relief, but without satisfactory results. The
malaria continued, and there was no end
to my taking cold, which at last began to
settle on my left lung, which was weak, in
asmuch as it had undergone the terrible eff
fscts of an abscess when l was quite small.
Az a result expectoration begun and grew
worse until May, 1894.

PENNIES COMING INTO VOGUE.

PENNIES COMING INTO VOGUE.
The republican party is pledged to the
use of not only two but four metals as
money-gold, silver, nickel and copper,
besides paper-and they favor the use OF
all of them to the full amount necessary te
the safety and convenience of a great and
prosperous ountry.-Al6uquerqae Citizen.
That reminds us, Tom, that the one
cent copper coin of the United States
is enjoying an increased popular de-
mapd. 1t is a significant fact that the
coinage of this piece has of very recon
years taken up more Of the time of thu
Philadelphia mint than ever before
Three presses are now at work there
or copper coinage, turning out 5000
cents a day. This rate has before
been equaled or exceeded, but it is
worthy of remark now in view of the
previous great output of the copper
coins within the past dozen years.
Since the foundation of the mint in
1898, 1,0G6, ca, 508 one cent pieces
have been struck, and it is estimated
that some 7S0, 600, 900 pieces are now
outstanding. But the great bulk of
the coinage has taken place lately.
From 1898 to the beginning of the
civil war, the coinage of the cent piece
did not average much above $25, 900
worth a year, or $500, 900 pieces. Just
prior to and during the war, the coin
age became unusually large, but fell
off during the time Of inflated prices to
a marked degree. But in 1880 the
penny coinage rose suddenly to an un-
usually high figure, and has kept there
ever since.
Within the past fifteen years, almost
one-half of the entire penny coinage of
the whole country, has been executed.
OF the amount outstanding Of 7S0, 000,-
600 pieces, no less than 504, 700, 600
pieces have been struck in the last
fifteen years. And the public demand
for the coins appears to be undated
and rather on the increase.
The explanation of this is doubtless
to be found in the more general prac-
tice of cash payment IN the retail
trade, and the great fall in prices
which has come about in the past TWEEN
ty years. Not long ago, the smallest
coin in the general circulation west Of
the Mississippi river was the nickel
five-cent piece. Only within a few
weeks, the largest St. Louis papers were
charging five cents a copy for their
issues, when three cents, two cents and
ever one cen. were the prevailing rates
farther east. Now papers costing only
The fraction OF a nickel are the rule
rather than the exception in the west.
The growth of the country and the
competition of business would of them
selves finally bring the cent into active
use here, but the downward course of
prices has operated all over the country
to make it a much more active coin
than ever before. Odd prices are now
even frequent where purchases are
for round mounts of considerable
sums. Penny bargain counters in
some Of the big department torres have
lately been introduced. A three-cent
fair is not unknown, and no doubt is to
become better known.
