This is a condition that cannot be
permanently met by bond sales.
Everybody knows that. The shrewd-
est of the gold men see, and some Of
them frankly admit that the gold
standard can only be maintained by
contracting our currency and forcing
prices 80 low that we can undersell all
competitors in the European market.
How low that must be no human be-
ing can say. We are now competing
with the Russian and the East Indian.
But they are getting about as much
for their product as they ever did.
That is, they are selling it for the
same amount in silver, and our people
are crying aloud in their distress. II
driven to extremity, the Russian and
the East Indian can sell for much less
than they now receive, for they have
not yet begun to loose. They can, in
fact, suffer a fall of one-half from the
present price, and then be in as good
a position, relatively, as the American
farmer is now. So to carry out the
gold standard idea, we must not only
undersell the Russian and the Indian
at present prices, but at the lowest
price to which they can 60. What a

THE DOG CATCHER.
The Interest Which Children Take
in the Pound.

The dog catcher is a never failing
source of amusement to the children of
lower Jersey City. When the cry, 1.-THE
~dog-catcher, the dog-cateher'' is heard
every child in the neighborhood of the
cry drops whatever he or she is doing
and runs at lightning speed for the
"dog-catcher.' What the attraction is
no one seems to know, for the dog
catcher never seems to do anything, but
those scoop nets the dog-catcher carries
always have a large following of child
rem. Last night three little boys were
standing on a street corner when some
one came up to them and said: Little
down the street there? How is it you
are not there?' Without stopping to ans
wer the boys looked down the street and
when one of them set up the cry .Hthe
dog-catcher," they sped down the street
closely followed by all the children on
the block. about twenty in number.
Sometimes the. children follow for
blocks, gazing eagerly at the scoop nets
and crying out in their excitement when
follows the nets the excitement becomes
intense. for then to them it means bust
ness and it is as impossible for them to
tear themselves awav as in the day of
the Pied Piper of Hamelin. The dog
catcher generally seems as pleased with
his following as the children are with
him and as mutual admiration is the
order Of the a or night, it is often
late before they separate. In fact the
only time when they will part mpa
is when the dog-catcher announces that
business is over for the day. Then with
many expressions of regret the faithful
little band of followers dispense.

three story frame structure. The ground
floor was utilized as a store While the up
per stories were packed to overlooking
with stored household furniture.
1t was about h%alf-past four o'clock when
a policeman saw smoke pouring through
the ransom over the front door of No.

before engines arrived the flames had
gained great Roadway. eating through the
beams to the upper floors. The ground
floor doors were burst open, and the ire
men at great peril entered the burning
building. Both stores had air shafts
running through them to the roof. and
up them the flames were drawn by the
draught from open s~kylights.

them to such an extent that Chief Con-
way ordered them out of the building,
fearing that the heavily laden beams
would fall and crush them. Shortly after
the firemen left the building the second
story beams went down with q crash
filling the air with thousands of sparfs.
A stiff breeze was blowing, and the burn
ing embers were carried a block away.
To prevent am outbreak in other quarters
streams Were turned on the roofs and sldes
of frame buildings in the locality.
When the big five-story fiat at No. w
BAY street caught fire the inmates be-
came panic stricken. Many fled into the

John Thallmann occupied the top floor
with his wife and four children: Mrs.
Thallmann escaped. carrying twin babies
with her. Her husband was less Tor
tunate, being slightly burned about the
neck and arms while carrying out his
two sons.
The fat was saved from destruction by
the prompt work of the water tower. with
which the department has been recently
equipped. The fire was put out but such
effects of the tenants as remained in
side were destroyed by water.
Armstrong estimates the loss on fur
niture at 5000; on stored goods, 5000,
ard ON the building, $1,000.
Eugene HarHett. the owner OF the fiat,
estimates his loss at $1,000.
The fire is supposed to have been caused
by an electric Fight wire which had not
been properly covered.
